In the afternoon, Li Guangyu held a meeting of the main people in charge of the groups under the Li Group in Hong Kong.
The presidents or vice presidents of major groups in Xiangjiang, as well as the heads of groups outside Xiangjiang and members of the executive team in Xiangjiang attended the meeting.
Cao Weiqing, who is the director of the Li Group's review department, and Du Yuemei, who is on temporary leave, also came to the conference room.
Gan Qin said at the meeting: "We have just received news from Singapore that the New World Hotel Building in Singapore suddenly collapsed, triggering the biggest tragedy in Singapore since World War II. The cause of the accident is not yet clear."
"Are you all very surprised? This matter has nothing to do with us. Although it is also called New World Hotel, it has nothing to do with the Zheng Family New World Development Group. Why is this meeting specially held for this?"
Many people present really had this idea. They introduced it through Gan Qin that this was just a small six-story building. It was not worth mentioning compared to buildings like theirs that now have dozens of stories and hundreds of meters in height.
, Li Guangyu must be making too much of a fuss.
Li Guangyu did not wait for the people below to respond. He continued: "Everyone knows that we are used to self-purchase industry for group development. At the same time, we also have four major real estate groups under our control. Safety and quality require us to be vigilant at all times. I don't want
Such a tragedy occurred under our umbrella. When purchasing properties, major groups must carefully check the building structure and drawings, and several major real estate groups must provide technical support."
The only thing Li Guangyu felt lucky was that he had no property in this building. A building that was less than 20 years old suddenly collapsed completely. This made Li Guangyu become concerned about his properties. He hoped that the group would pay attention to these properties.
The property management company must conduct a thorough investigation and never allow its employees to suffer such losses.
At the same time, new regulations have also been made for several major real estate groups. The design drawings produced by them must be reviewed by a third party to ensure that there will be no quality problems in terms of stress.
Guo Qingya, President of Wheelock Group, said: "Our group will complete the inspection of all properties in the group within two months, and review the construction and drawings of all properties again to ensure the safety of all our properties. At the same time, we are willing to provide technology to major groups
Support from above,”
At present, the properties that require the most audits are Tianyu Financial Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group, and Hongyu Clothing Group. Their stores are spread all over the world and in many regions.
We cannot ignore the review in this regard. This time, there is a bank on the first floor of the New World Hotel in Singapore. Who can ensure that the building of each Tianyu Bank business location is safe? This time, the review must be strengthened.
Feng Xinqi, vice president of Starlight Real Estate Group, said: "Li Sheng, all the properties of our group are currently designed by the group itself. I will let the group review the drawings again and complete the self-audit within a week. Our group is also willing to provide help to other groups.
.”
Representatives of Xingyue Group and the newly established Dongxing Group in Xiangjiang also expressed their willingness to provide help to major groups.
At present, the four major groups, except for Wheelock Group, which bought a large number of properties at bargain prices a few years ago, are developing real estate by themselves, and the architectural drawings have been preserved. Moreover, they are developing large-scale projects, and the review can be completed quickly.
Li Guangyu said: "Tianfan, Xiaoning, Qinghong, the three of you selected several elite personnel from the four major real estate groups and the elites of the law firm to form a joint review team to conduct a sample review of the properties after the major groups have reviewed them."
Yuan Tianfan immediately responded: "Li Sheng, I will arrange this matter, but I'm afraid this cycle will be very long. You also know that Tianyu Bank, Hongyu Clothing, Pengyu Group, Feiyu Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group, etc.
There are hundreds or even thousands of stores, and the workload here is very large. We estimate that it will take at least two years to complete the investigation."
Only now have I discovered that the Li Group owns too many properties. Not to mention other properties, the properties owned by major groups alone are enough to overwhelm the richest man on the Forbes list.
A thorough investigation of all the properties of the Li Group is a very large project that cannot be completed in a month or two.
Some senior executives even feel that it is not worth the gain to go through so much trouble to review the safety issues of all buildings under the Lee Consortium just because of the collapse of the New World Hotel in Singapore.
Li Guangyu said: "No matter how long this review takes, we must complete it. This is responsible for the safety of each of our employees. At the same time, major groups must first review whether the architectural drawings are qualified when acquiring properties in the future. We are absolutely
You can’t make fun of your employees’ safety.”
Du Yuemei knew that since Li Guangyu had already made a decision, it would be impossible to change it. The reason why this review was so long was due to the accumulation over the years, and the future would be much easier.
She said: "Li Sheng, I suggest that we set up a separate construction audit company, not only to deal with this investigation, but also to be audited by this company when we expand in the future. At the same time, the projects of several major real estate groups will be audited."
The design drawings have also been reviewed by this company, which can reduce the occurrence of safety and quality problems."
Li Guangyu immediately agreed to Du Yuemei's suggestion and asked Gan Qin to prepare the company's affairs and transfer the chairman of Defeng Group Design Company to serve as the helm of the company.
Compared with those acquiring properties, Li Guangyu is more worried about whether there are safety risks in the projects constructed by the four major groups. With the establishment of this company, he will be able to control whether there are any problems with the design drawings of the projects of these major groups in the future.
If a building built by a group under the Li Consortium suddenly collapsed, Li Guangyu couldn't imagine what a blow it would have to the group.
Li Guangyu said: "The New World Hotel incident in Singapore is a painful lesson. Our major groups must take responsibility when acquiring properties. They must not only consider the location and price of the property, but also consider
Regarding safety issues, although this may make everyone work more, it can make our employees feel at ease, and the extra hard work is worth it."
I am not too worried about large-scale complex projects. What I am most worried about right now are those individual projects, especially some projects built by small companies or even themselves in some Southeast Asian countries. No one can say whether the safety and quality of these projects can be guaranteed.
good.
You must know that Tianyu Bank has opened its business branches in towns and villages in Baodao and some Southeast Asian countries. The construction quality review in some towns is far less stringent than in cities. This time, even Singapore has a building that was put into use less than 20 years ago.
If a building collapses, no one can guarantee whether other areas are safe.
You still have to check everything yourself before you feel at ease. Only in this way can you be aware of it. Compared with the regrets that may arise in the future, it is worth investing some financial and manpower now.
The senior officials present also knew that after the incident in Singapore, countries and regions will definitely strengthen the review of construction project drawings to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
Now their biggest problem is to clean up old accounts, especially with the rapid expansion in recent years. When they acquire small properties like stores, they don't even look at architectural drawings. Some sellers who transfer stores don't have such things either. This is
They can only find construction companies and local departments.
