Huo Dalong did not insist and asked Zhou Zichen to sit on the side and said: "This incident happened too suddenly. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the government to get involved in these things, and our materials have always been
The three houses that were purchased according to national standards and can be inspected all have problems."
"What is the specific problem?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Huo Dalong said with some annoyance: "There are many problems. One company's decoration and ceiling keels are all unqualified; another company's methanol exceeds the standard; another company has a large number of hollow ceramic tiles."
Zhou Zichen didn't know much about these things before, but these days because of the construction company's problems, he has some understanding of these things: "You said that our materials are purchased in accordance with national standards. Who is in charge of this matter?"
"It's me, Mr. Zhou!" The purchasing manager on the side stood up tremblingly. In front of the big boss, even though he had a clear conscience, he seemed a little more imposing when he spoke.
Zhou Zichen took a look at the manager of the purchasing department. He was in his forties, wearing ordinary clothes and already somewhat bald: "Will you check the materials when they come in?"
The bald middle-aged man did not dare to look at Zhou Zichen. He lowered his head and trembled in his voice. He quickly explained: "Mr. Zhou, we have purchased a lot of materials these days. We used to do random inspections in batches. This time we don't have enough manpower."
, we didn’t come for the urgent spot check.”
Zhou Zichen did not blame the bald middle-aged man, but simply said: "Give me the shopping list for these days."
The balding middle-aged man quickly pulled out four or five lists from the folder in front of him, trotted up to Zhou Zichen, and handed it to Zhou Zichen respectfully: "This is the purchase list for the past month."
Zhou Zichen looked carefully at the bald middle-aged man, took the list, and glanced at it twice. There were five lists. There was only one list in the first half month, and four in the second half month. After Li Tingfeng's advertising was invested, the company's business was indeed
It rose in a straight line: "How many people are there in the purchasing department?"
"Three!" Huo Dalong said quickly.
"Give him more people. We really don't have enough manpower. From now on, every batch of goods will be randomly inspected." After speaking, Zhou Zichen motioned to the balding middle-aged man to go back and sit down.
"Isn't it a matter of purchasing?" Huo Dalong asked Zhou Zichen in a low voice. He had always thought that the manager of the purchasing department had tampered with the matter. This meeting was almost all aimed at the purchasing manager.
Zhou Zichen shook his head: "It's not his problem. If it were his problem, could the tiles be hollow? Can the government come to inspect our project? Someone else is causing trouble."
The house inspection is not done by the government itself, but by a third-party professional inspection company, which then provides the acceptance documents, and the government confirms and records them.
In the future, if there is a problem with the house frame, we will find trouble with the company that did the inspection.
Moreover, third-party companies will not take care of personal decoration. This is not within the scope of acceptance. Unless the individual requests it, they will inspect and accept it, and they will not do the filing. They still have to collect money, and the individual will not go.
It's a waste of money.
As for the government departments, if no one reports these things, they will not care whether your decoration is qualified or not. After all, many decorations are hired by the owners themselves, and all are inspected and accepted, and all kinds of troubles will follow.
Huo Dalong was not stupid, and he understood immediately: "You mean, someone wants to deal with us?"
"Someone must be trying to deal with us. The meeting will be suspended first. Let's go and see the three houses where the problems have been discovered. All other projects that are still under construction will be suspended. All materials will be inspected." Zhou Zichen stood up as he spoke.
Huo Dalong also stood up: "Everyone is dismissed."
The orders Chenlong Construction currently receives are basically around the company, and you can walk there.
In the first house, there is a problem with the ceiling keel. The overall decoration looks like it was made by a master craftsman. The lines of the tiles are well-proportioned and the patterns are neat. Some sections of the ceiling have been removed one by one, and some have been cut off.
.
Such keels are usually made of light steel, but they are all made of aluminum and are easy to break.
Zhou Zichen turned on his eyesight and discovered that all the steel materials here were aluminum materials like this, and all of them were unqualified.
Zhou Zichen picked up the outer packaging of the ceiling material. It was indeed the brand purchased by the purchasing department, and there was also a description on the packaging that the keel was made of light steel.
"Let's go!" Zhou Zichen stood up after reading and said to Huo Dalong.
"See what's the problem?" Huo Dalong quickly followed Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen analyzed: "There are two possibilities. First, there was a problem with our supplier and the package was switched when it was shipped to us. Second, someone switched the package when we were not paying attention. Is there a monitor here?
?”
"Yes, the property management is now." Huo Dalong immediately understood what Zhou Zichen was going to do.
However, when the two people went to find the property, the property owner refused to let them see the surveillance video no matter what. The reason was very simple. This involved the privacy of the owner. Without legal procedures, they would not access the surveillance video to others.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know right away that this is nonsense. There are only a few well-decorated houses here, and there are not many people living there at all. Moreover, all the monitors are in public areas. What kind of privacy is there?
Huo Dalong was still fighting for it and even wanted to give the other party a red envelope, but Zhou Zichen quietly withdrew.
There is definitely something wrong with this property. If they don't let them watch the surveillance, it means that the troublemakers have already reached this point and bought the property. It is almost impossible for Huo Dalong to buy them again.
Zhou Zichen took out his mobile phone and sent Jin Hua a message: "Help me call up the surveillance cameras around Building 1602, Phase 2, Hengdu Garden."
Jin Huo's message came quickly, with only one word "good".
Huo Dalong came out with his head drooped: "Zichen, what should I do if they don't show me? We go to the police?"
Zhou Zichen shook his head: "It's useless to call the police. You don't have any evidence. It's all your guess. And I estimate that as soon as you call the police, they will probably delete all the surveillance these days. Then we will tell you
The monitor is broken and there is still nothing."
"What should we do?" Huo Dalong said a little discouraged.
Zhou Zichen smiled slightly: "It's okay, we'll have it in a while. Let's go get something to eat now."
Huo Dalong has always believed in Zhou Zichen. Seeing that Zhou Zichen said so confidently, although he was full of doubts, he still agreed: "Okay! The food stall outside is pretty good. That's where we usually eat."
"Your treat!" Zhou Zichen said jokingly.
Huo Dalong also said: "You are already a big boss, and you still want me to treat you."
As soon as Huo Dalong finished speaking, a black Mercedes-Benz blocked the way of the two people.
Zhou Zichen and Huo Dalong both put away the smiles on their faces. This car was obviously aimed at them.
The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened and a middle-aged man stepped out of the car: "Hey... isn't this Mr. Huo? What are you doing here?"
"Ma Qinggui, what do you want to do?" Huo Dalong's face was a little gloomy and he shouted softly.
Ma Qinggui smiled "haha": "Why don't you just come and see your big boss? His name seems to be Zhou Zichen, right? I thought he was some kind of big shot, but it turns out he's just a little loser with no hair on his head."
Ma Qinggui said and looked at Zhou Zichen, looking up and down with a look of disdain.
Huo Dalong can tolerate others talking about him, but he can't bear others talking about Zhou Zichen: "Ma Qinggui, you'd better make your words clear, or I'll kill you today."
"You want to kill me? I'm so scared!" Ma Qinggui said and snorted coldly: "As for you, I advise you to pack up and go back to the countryside to build a homestead."
Zhou Zichen understood clearly that Ma Qinggui was most likely the person who had competed with Chenlong Construction before, and he also looked down upon Huo Dalong for contracting some homestead sites in the countryside.
Huo Dalong's face turned blue and white with anger, he pointed at Ma Qinggui and said: "If you have the ability, don't use these dirty tricks. Do you think we can do better than you?"
Ma Qinggui didn't mind at all: "I am a dirty person, and I can only use dirty tricks, but these dirty tricks are enough to deal with you."
Huo Dalong still wanted to speak, but Zhou Zichen stopped him and said to Ma Qinggui: "You were also responsible for this incident, right?"
Ma Qinggui nodded: "Yes, it's me. If you know what's going on, you'd better not get involved in these businesses, or I'll kill you."
Zhou Zichen said "Oh": "How do you plan to kill us?"
Ma Qinggui took a breath and said, "I have a hundred ways to kill you. If you pretend to be stern with me, I have seen too many stern people. In the end, you have to beg me."
"I hope you have the ability to kill us." Zhou Zichen paused, looked into Ma Qinggui's eyes, and said, "Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
Zhou Zichen's words seemed to have magic power. Although they were just casual words, Ma Qinggui felt a sense of fear in his heart, as if Zhou Zichen could really make him irreversible.
In fact, Zhou Zichen just used some small tricks and some supernatural powers.
The fear in Ma Qinggui's heart was still there, and he didn't dare to speak out to refute Zhou Zichen. He could only watch Zhou Zichen and Huo Dalong leave.
Huo Dalong was still unhappy and said as he walked: "He was the one who took the lead in stumbling upon us before. Now that we have improved, he comes to cause trouble for us again. Such a person should be sent to prison. This
It's unfair competition."
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but laugh and said: "You know about unfair competition now, that's good."
Huo Dalong was a little embarrassed: "What I just learned is that if they do better than us, I won't say anything. It means that I am not as strong as others, but he uses these dirty tricks to stumbling us. Of course I
Not convinced."
"Okay, let's go have dinner first. Later we will go to his company to find trouble for him." Zhou Zichen said.
"How to cause trouble for him?" Huo Dalong is very happy to cause trouble for Ma Qinggui. These days, he has suffered a lot of hidden losses at the hands of Ma Qinggui.
Zhou Zichen smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes. Now go eat."
