Chapter Five Hundred and Eleven Persuading Learning
"Mr. Yu, that's exactly what we think! When I proposed the Old Canal Lighting Engineering Corporation, I got the inspiration from the city that never sleeps!
Although there were many bad things in Shanghai on the night before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But no one can deny that it has greatly promoted the economic development of the Magic City!
According to our survey, the more developed a city is, the more colorful its nightlife is! The city’s sense of happiness is also stronger!”
Hearing Yu Qingyang express his design concept, Mr. Zhao became even more excited and introduced Yu Qingyang as a close friend.
"Well, Mr. Zhao is right! The structural drawing can be delayed, but the panoramic renderings must be produced as soon as possible!
I want to organize an international design competition for the Hedong and Hexi residential areas based on your renderings!"
"Mr. Yu, is there a design competition for the Hedong and Hexi residential areas?" Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment.
"Yes! Otherwise, how can I be worthy of Mr. Zhao's cultural corridor?" Yu Qingyang joked.
"Then our design institute can also participate, right?" Mr. Zhao said excitedly.
On both sides of the old canal, this is a super large design with a construction area of tens of millions.
This kind of design also adheres to the design concept of the old canal cultural corridor, and Mr. Zhao is also a little moved.
When I heard that the building area was tens of millions of square meters, it seemed quite scary.
In fact, the design workload is mainly reflected in the spatial layout.
Structurally, there is no difficulty. They are all standard buildings. You can design a building or several buildings and just paste and copy.
The specialty of their ancient garden architecture design institute is spatial layout.
Yu Qingyang smiled and said: "Of course, qualified individuals from any design institute can participate!"
To put it bluntly, Yu Qingyang’s international design competition is just a gimmick.
Otherwise, how can we raise housing prices?
With an investment of more than 10 billion (excluding the construction cost of the residential area, only including the demolition cost), how can the investment be recovered?
Mr. Zhao happily left Yu Qingyang's office and prepared to go back and report to the company to send more manpower to take down the cultural corridor first and then participate in the design competition.
It’s scary to think about tens of millions of construction area and design fees!
If they can win this order, it will be enough for them to eat for several years.
"Mr. Yu!"
"Xiao Shen, is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Yu, I found that someone is buying houses in the demolition area at a high price!" Shen Minghaohui reported.
Shen Minghao led the demolition working group to provide follow-up supervision.
"Buying a house at a high price? Do you know who it is?" Yu Qingyang frowned and asked.
“It’s several local real estate companies in Jeju and some social figures!
I found out that they have acquired about a hundred houses!"
"I understand, you must supervise and I will handle the house acquisition!"
"Okay, Mr. Yu! Then I'll go get busy!"
"Go for it!"
After Shen Minghao left, Yu Qingyang picked up his cell phone and called Zhang Hua.
“Brother Hua, I heard that someone is buying houses in demolition areas at high prices!
Didn’t our city’s housing management exchange freeze real estate transactions?”
"It's frozen! I've heard about the situation you're talking about too!
There are many houses in the demolition area with small property rights!
Many of them are welfare houses for work units, and they are houses without real estate certificates!”
"Is our city just going to let this happen?"
"Don't worry! I have asked the Housing Authority to interview several real estate companies involved in the acquisition!
For those people in society, I also instruct the Public Security Bureau to investigate and collect evidence!
Once it is discovered that there are intimidation, threats and other means in real estate transactions.
I will let them know what the power of the people's dictatorship is!" Zhang Hua promised loudly.
"Haha! I'm afraid that someone in our city will get involved!
It’s not about making money, it’s just to disgust me!” Yu Qingyang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yu Qingyang's actions were too big. He developed tens of millions of square meters of residential areas at once, which was tantamount to tampering with local real estate developers.
In a city, the share of land used for real estate development each year is also limited in quantity, commonly known as land use indicators.
The more you develop, it means that the share of development by others will decrease.
Yu Qingyang has stolen the job of a local real estate developer. How can they not deal with him?
"You have to believe that our municipal government has the ability to solve the problem!" Zhang Hua promised.
Then he talked about another thing, "By the way, the changes to the approval plan and the re-establishment of the project that you requested have been reported to the province!
It is estimated that it will be approved soon!”
Regarding the matter of changing the approval and reinitiating the project, Yu Qingyang also made a helpless decision.
Although the matter of the car falling into the working well has been dealt with, he has been dismissed from his post where he should be dismissed, he has been punished where he should be punished, and he has been sentenced where he should be sentenced.
However, its impact cannot be eliminated.
For example, Yu Qingyang wanted to apply for a national award, but the matter fell through.
Two people died and three were injured. This was a major safety accident and constituted a criminal offence.
No chance of winning any awards.
In desperation, Yu Qingyang had no choice but to negotiate with the Jeju City Government, re-apply, and re-apply the project.
It turned out that the old canal management was a large project, which was then divided into four sub-projects.
Now, the four sub-projects, sewage treatment plant, river dredging, municipal pipe network renovation, and cultural corridor, have been separately established and turned into four main projects.
The advantage of this is that if a major safety accident occurs during the renovation of the municipal pipe network, it will not be possible to apply for engineering awards.
For example, the Luban Award clearly stipulates that if a project has quality accidents, major production safety accidents, or other incidents that have had a negative impact on society during the construction process, it is not allowed to apply for the Luban Award.
"That's good! I've been thinking about this these past few days!
Our company has spent so much money, and if we don’t get a few awards back, it will really be a big loss!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"You, never give me a problem! I've been doing nothing for you these days!"
Re-establishing a project is not particularly difficult, especially for major projects where the approval authority does not lie with the local government.
"Brother Hua, you can work harder!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
After chatting for a few more words, Yu Qingyang hung up the phone.
Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, Yu Qingyang got up and left the headquarters in a car.
"Sister, is it your turn to cook today?"
"Yes! Mr. Yu is here? Let's eat here later? I fried the meat!" A woman in her thirties greeted Yu Qingyang enthusiastically when she saw him.
"No! I have a big appetite, and the dishes you ordered are not enough for me!" Yu Qingyang declined the invitation with a smile.
Yu Qingyang often hangs around the construction site, and the workers on the construction site have become familiar with him.
I moved a stool and sat down, chatting with the woman cooking.
They also talked about some topics that are common to parents.
As for whether saying greetings is tiring or not, whether it’s hard work or not.
That's all bullshit!
Three couples living in a wooden house, you say it's hard or not.
When digging dirt in a dark underground pipe, I can't straighten my back, so I can only lie down and kneel to dig dirt. Do you think you're tired?
People who ask questions like this are either people who have never been to a construction site, or they are leaders who come down to inspect the work.
An eleven or twelve-year-old child came out of the wooden house and looked at Yu Qingyang curiously.
"Sister, is this your child?"
"yes!"
"What grade are you in?"
"I graduated from elementary school and don't want to go to school. If I can't go to school, I won't go to school! It's not that material anyway!"
"Sister, it's not okay if your child doesn't go to school! Do you still want your child to work as a coolie like you?"
"He himself didn't want to go to bed, so he beat him and scolded him! He didn't want to go to bed either dead or alive!
What can we people do? If you have to work hard, work hard! This is life!" The woman was nagging while cooking quickly.
"What's your name?" Yu Qingyang looked at the little boy and asked with a smile.
The little boy looked a little embarrassed, looked at Yu Qingyang timidly, and said nothing.
"Call this kid uncle! His name is Dong Xiaojun, nicknamed Shitou!"
"Hello, uncle!"
"Shitou, this is a good name, can I call you Shitou too?" Yu Qingyang greeted Shitou with a smile.
"Yeah!" Shitou nodded.
"Shitou, do you want to work with your parents?"
"Yeah!" Shitou nodded.
"Have you ever been down there?"
"I went down with his father yesterday!" the woman answered on behalf of her son.
"How are you? Are you feeling tired?"
"tired!"
Shitou is very shy, and when talking to Yu Qingyang, he basically speaks word by word.
"Do you want to do this kind of work in the future?"
"I don't want to!" Shitou shook his head and finally said two words.
"Do you know what your parents did?"
“Jump the pipe!”
"Yes, pipe jacking! Manual pipe jacking is tiring and dirty!
Isn’t it very difficult for six people to squeeze into a wooden house?”
"Um!"
"Do you know? This is already a very good condition! There is a board house to live in and there is air conditioning!
In the past, your parents could only live in that stuffy tent!"
"..."
"If you don't believe it, ask your mother!"
"Yes! Thanks to Mr. Yu, living in a board house is comfortable! Thank you so much, Mr. Yu! You are a good person!" The woman smiled and nodded, thanking her.
"Sister, I don't dare to accept your thanks.
It’s very inconvenient for a few of you to be crowded into a wooden house! It’s just that the conditions are limited, and there’s no way for you to live separately!”
Three couples live in a wooden house. Just think about it and you will know how inconvenient it is.
However, this situation is very common!
Many migrant workers in the South are husband and wife teams, and there are also fake husband and wife teams.
On the construction site, where are the conditions for a couple to arrange a house?
Only a few couples can live in one room and use a curtain to block it a little.
It's inconvenient to do anything.
It's better to live in a board house with air conditioning. In the board house or tent without air conditioning, in summer, the inside is just a big steamer.
In winter, it turns into a big ice cave, which is really not a place for people to live.
However, in order to make money, most migrant workers live in such places.
In 2001, Huayu Investment was probably the only company in the country that could provide air conditioners for migrant workers.
"What your parents do is called manual pipe jacking, and there is another one called mechanical pipe jacking!
Do you want to go and see what mechanical pipe jacking is?" Yu Qingyang asked with a smile.
"..."
Shitou was a little moved, but also a little scared.
"Go, ask your dad to get up, and I'll take you two to see it together!"
Just as he was talking, Shitou's father walked out of the wooden house.
"Mr. Yu is here?"
"Old Dong, did you just wake up? Did you work all night again yesterday?"
Manual pipe jacking is done around the clock, day and night, in three shifts.
A working well usually has twelve people working in groups of four.
There are two people below the well and two people above the well.
One person underground digs soil into the pipe, and the other person is responsible for cooperating with the person above the well to lift the soil up.
In addition to lifting the soil up, the people on the well are also responsible for lifting the concrete pipes down, cooperating with the people below to place the concrete pipes on the guide rails, adjust the angles, and joints, etc.
"Well, it's easy today, we're on top today!" Old Dong smiled honestly.
They took turns digging soil below and hanging pipes above.
According to Lao Dong, it is a very happy thing not to have to dig soil.
"Let's go, old Dong, I'll take you two to see how they mechanically jack up pipes! Let Shitou open his eyes!" Yu Qingyang once again proposed to take them to see mechanical pipe jacking.
"I'll change my clothes!"
"No, this is not very clean! Let's go, I'll be back soon, I won't delay your meal!"
Yu Qingyang took Lao Dong and his son Shitou to the construction site of Huayu Sanjian.
From Huayu Third Construction to Huayu Sixth Construction, mechanical pipe jacking was all used.
The construction efficiency of mechanical pipe jacking construction is relatively high, the labor intensity is not high, and the safety is higher. Of course, the cost is relatively high.
At Huayu Sanjian, a section of pipe jacking had just been completed, and the tunnel boring machine was turned out of the receiving shaft. Several workers were busy operating.
"How's it going? Did you see it? Doesn't it work much faster than your dad and the others?
This is the power of knowledge!
If you go to school, you may not be able to get into college or become a high official!
However, if you learn more knowledge, even if you go to a technical school, you will still end up working as a supervisor!
Because you have knowledge, you can also choose to do mechanical pipe jacking!
They make manual pipe jacking easier and safer than your parents do, and they make more money!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
Shitou looked up at Yu Qingyang, "Do you have to go to school to do this?"
"Of course! Look at those machines. If you don't go to school or learn, how do you know how to operate them?
If you can operate machinery without studying, why don't your parents go into mechanical pipe jacking?
Young man, I won’t tell you the big truth, you just need to understand one truth.
Even if you are a migrant worker like your parents, those who go to school more will still have easier work and make more money than those who go to school less!" Yu Qingyang smiled and patted Shitou's shoulder.
Shitou looked at the construction scene of mechanical pipe jacking and said nothing.
Old Dong looked at Yu Qingyang gratefully.
Who wants their children to suffer hardships along with them?
They endure hardships and hardships, why?
Isn’t it so that your children won’t have to endure hardships like you in the future?
"There's still some time before school starts, so you should have a good feel for your parents' work!"
Send Lao Dong and Shi Tou back to the construction site.
"Mr. Yu, thank you! I can't speak, so, thank you!" Old Dong said to Yu Qingyang with a grateful face.
"You're welcome! Just help us with publicity and introduce more workers to us!" Yu Qingyang smiled and patted Lao Dong on the shoulder, turned around and got in the car to leave.
Lao Dong and others are migrant workers who signed a contract with Huayu Labor Service Company.
Huayu Investment has a mandatory requirement, the overlord clause. No matter who hires the workers, no matter which construction company they work with, they must first sign a contract with Huayu Labor Service Company.
