The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 544
Li Weidong's car drove to the original office address, and the three-story building had been razed to the ground, leaving only the surrounding courtyard walls that had not been demolished, probably as enclosures.

The gate is still the original gate, but the security guard at the gate has been replaced by someone from the construction unit.

Li Weidong came suddenly, even though Zhang Dongshuo had been notified, Zhang Dongshuo also notified the project leader of the construction unit, but the time was too short to notify the guard.

So when Li Weidong's car came to the door, a middle-aged security guard ran over and said with a southern accent: "You can't park here, there will be a big car soon, don't block the road, hurry up!"

Chen Jun is a typical northwesterner, and it is very difficult to listen to Baoan's southern dialect, but judging from his gestures, he should know that he means to let them leave.

"We are owned by Xinsheng Holdings, come and see the progress of the project!" Chen Jun opened the window to negotiate with the security guard.

"Shazai is a holding company, no one is allowed inside!" the security guard insisted.

Chen Jun's face was a little embarrassed, he felt that his work was not in place, the boss came, and he was blocked from entering.

And isn't the security guard a little stupid? The building on this construction site is called Xinsheng Building, and they don't know Xinsheng Holdings?

Also, Li Weidong's car is in Qizhou, and there is almost no place in Handong that cannot be entered. Even if it is going to the provincial capital next to it, the door is wide open, and someone has to welcome it.

Unexpectedly, after bumping into his nose at the door of his house today, Chen Jun wanted to call Zhang Dongshuo again, but in front of Li Weidong, he really couldn't take out his mobile phone to make this call.

Chen Jun opened the car door and got out of the car, and patiently explained: "Brother, this building belongs to our company. We are the construction unit, and our boss is in the car. I want to come over to see the progress of the project!"

"No, the captain said, without a pass, without his consent, no one can enter!"

Chen Jun also heard these few words. This security guard might be a little out of his mind, and he might not be able to communicate well.

Suddenly, with an idea, Chen Jun opened the zipper on the side of the bag, and there were two packs of cigarettes inside, which he prepared for Li Weidong in case of emergency.

Chen Jun took out a cigarette and handed it to the security guard, and said with a smile: "Brother, go tell your captain that we are owned by Xinsheng Holdings, and he will definitely let us in!"

The security guard thought for a while, and felt that what Chen Jun said made sense, so he said, "Then wait a minute, our captain is sleeping, I'll ask!"

After speaking, he returned to the security room without even asking for a cigarette.

Chen Jun walked over and saw a younger man lying on the sofa sleeping in the security room. The middle-aged security guard pushed the man to wake him up, and he seemed a little reluctant.

Hearing what the security guard said, he immediately sat up from the sofa and rushed out the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, his head was broken and he has a tendon!" The young security guard immediately smiled and said when he saw Chen Jun. Although his accent was Mandarin, it was also Mandarin in the south.

Chen Jun ignored him, because he saw several people wearing red helmets coming out quickly from inside.

Chen Jun still knew a few of them, and one of them was Lin Jiajun, the vice president of Hucheng Construction Engineering Group, who was also the top leader of the construction engineering group in charge of this project. He had been stationed in Qizhou for a long time since the start of construction.

On the one hand, the big leaders are here, able to urge the employees below to complete the construction with quality and quantity, and on the other hand, they also express to Xinsheng Holdings that their construction engineering group attaches great importance to this project.

"Secretary Chen, you're late, you're late, we're holding a promotion meeting, and when we received a call from Director Zhang, we'll be over immediately!" Lin Jiajun said, shaking hands with Chen Jun from a long distance away.

Li Weidong saw the person who greeted him coming in the car, so he couldn't continue to put on airs, so he got out of the car.

When Lin Jiajun saw Li Weidong, he quickly stretched out his hands to greet him, and said respectfully: "Hello, Director Li, I am sorry, I am sorry!"

Li Weidong shook Lin Jiajun's chubby hand, and said with a smile: "We are taking the liberty, we just wanted to take a look at it, but we didn't expect it to be so motivating!"

"Should be, should be, you entrusted us with the project, it is your trust in us, it is our honor!" Lin Jiajun smiled like Maitreya Buddha, his eyes were almost gone.

But the gratitude is sincere. The Jinmao Tower they built has just been completed, and now they have won the bid for a large project of the same level. The impact on their status in the world can be seen.

Once this project is completed, they will have the performance of two super high-rise buildings. Even those construction units with Chinese characters can only watch from behind and eat ashes.

And he also knew that their bidding price was actually not the best, but Xinsheng Holdings was a private company, and Li Weidong's opinion was very important, so they could stand out.

Xinsheng Holdings is a private company, so many things are more capricious. As long as the boss is not happy or thinks something is wrong, he can change it at any time, and no one can control it.

This is also an important reason why the company sent him, the vice president, to stay at the Qizhou project site for a long time. It is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Party A so that the later cooperation can go smoothly.

For example, the payment of the progress payment, the acceptance of the project completion, the settlement of the project payment, and the payment of the quality assurance fund after the warranty period are all big problems.

In fact, for such a large project, it seems that they earn a lot, but the profit margin is not high. If you deposit a few more points in the warranty deposit, the profit will not be much. Lawsuit, then get the year of the monkey.

This is how many engineering companies have collapsed in this way. In order to get back the warranty money, I really begged my grandpa to sue my grandma.

But after he came to Qizhou, he never saw Li Weidong except once at the last foundation laying ceremony, and there was no chance to say anything other than shaking hands at the foundation laying ceremony.

Even after the foundation laying ceremony, he didn't have the chance to be at the main table at the banquet held. The chairman and general manager of the Hucheng Construction Engineering Group was there, so he didn't have the chance.

I wanted to express my gratitude in person in private, but I mentioned it to Zhang Dongshuo, the coordinator of this project several times, but nothing came of it. Now that the opportunity came, I had to express it well.

"Give it to you guys because of your strength and aptitude. Doing so will also benefit us. It is not an honor to get what we need from each other!" Li Weidong also said with a smile,

"Don't worry, Director Li, I assure you that we will finish the project on time with quality and quantity guaranteed, otherwise I will take the blame and resign!" Lin Jiajun immediately expressed his opinion after hearing what Li Weidong said.

He is a real person, so he went straight to the point. What he was talking about was interests and mutual benefits. If you were talking about feelings for others, you would be insincere. Now you can only talk about interests.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be a man of temperament!" Li Weidong said with a noncommittal smile, taking the blame and resigning is a matter of your company's own assessment. Besides, even if you retire, it cannot affect the progress of the project.

At this time Zhang Dongshuo's car also arrived, and he was still one step behind Li Weidong in his hurry. Fortunately, Li Weidong hadn't fully entered yet, otherwise he would have been more passive.

Lin Jiajun shook hands with Zhang Dongshuo again. They are old acquaintances, so there is no need to exchange pleasantries.

"Mr. Li, why don't we go in, please guide our work?" Lin Jiajun asked.

"Well, I can't talk about guidance, it's mainly about learning!" Li Weidong said with a wave of his hand. When he was a child, he liked to watch building a house, digging foundations and laying walls. Now that he is building a house by himself, he has to watch it!

A few people walked inside, and within a few steps, they arrived at a transition room at a construction site. Lin Jiajun held a safety helmet and a pair of new shoes and said, "Mr. Li, these are safety helmets and non-slip shoes. There is muddy water everywhere inside, and they are very wet. slip!"

Li Weidong took the hard hat and put it on his head, then took the shoes, glanced at the size of the shoes, which was exactly the size he was wearing, and it was just right, and sat on the chair next to him to change the shoes.

At this time, a person came over and exchanged glances with Lin Jiajun. Lin Jiajun walked to the side while Li Weidong was changing shoes, and the person whispered something in his ear.

Lin Jiajun's face changed, and he looked a little ugly. He wanted to say something, but when he realized that Li Weidong was there, his face changed again, and he waved to the man to let him out.

Several people accompanied by Li Weidong also changed their equipment and began to enter the construction site.

The entire foundation pit is very large and deep, at least several times larger than the original office building. The original front and rear yards are gone, basically turning into a huge pit.

At the bottom of the deep pit, there are more than a dozen huge pile drivers driving the pile holes. The soil and water coming up from the pile holes are mixed together to form thick mud, which is then discharged to the simple filter screen next to it.

The muddy water is discharged to the distance along the pipeline, and the remaining silt is loaded and transported to the suburbs.

Lin Jiajun saw that Li Weidong was interested in the deep pit, so he explained: "Mr. Li, the excavation area of ​​this foundation pit is more than 5000 square meters, which is 700 square meters larger than the Jinmao Tower. It is about [-] acres of land. Walk around the pit for more than [-] meters!"

"Because there are five floors of the basement, the excavation depth is relatively deep, a total of 23 meters. The excavated soil can pile up a hill. Now the goaf subsidence area at the iron factory has been filled!" Lin Jiajun said with a smile.

"Really, this is a good thing, the government should give us some rewards!" Li Weidong also said with a smile.

In his previous life, Li Weidong also heard that there was a real estate building built on a goaf, which failed to deal with the settlement problem. Not long after it was built, the building sank so badly that it could not be sold.

Lin Jiajun also echoed with a smile: "I think so too, but the government is not willing, not only unwilling, we also have to pay a handling fee for every truckload of earthwork we ship out, where can we go to reason!"

The earthwork consumption fee is very familiar to those who do engineering, but Li Weidong doesn't know, but everyone has to laugh along with it, and laughing with the leader is also a technical job.

After laughing, Lin Jiajun continued to introduce: "For more than ten days now, the pile driver has been working overnight, and the machine has been stopped. If there is no accident, there will be another week, that is, before Labor Day, 570 three 50-meter-deep piles Hole will be done!"

"According to the geological survey and our recent construction, we have already reached the rock layer at a depth of about 37 to 40 meters. To put it bluntly, our building is actually built on a huge rock with these 573 piles!"

"So the whole construction is much simpler than the Jinmao Tower, so even though the building is much taller and the overall weight is heavier, the depth of the piles is much shallower!"

"After the piles are laid, the foundation can be made. The foundation is a 4.5-meter-thick reinforced concrete raft foundation, together with these 573 50-meter-deep steel columns!"

"Based on the astronomical data of the last 20 years, we speculate that Qizhou's flood season will be from early July to mid-July, so we must complete the foundation pouring work before the flood season!"

"Otherwise the entire foundation will be filled with flood water due to the arrival of the flood season, delaying unnecessary construction period!"

Lin Jiajun introduced the situation to Li Weidong, and Li Weidong nodded straightly, which was indeed a gain in knowledge.

The data he mentioned, Li Weidong had been introduced by several waves of people as early as the design stage of the project.

But listening to the data is completely different from seeing the shock on the spot. The drawings say [-] square meters, how many meters long and how many meters wide, even Li Weidong, who majored in engineering, has no idea, let alone other people.

Now when I go to the site and take a look, I can understand the size of more than 2 square meters and [-] acres of land. Growing wheat can allow Li Weidong to eat vegetables, and the ready-made is very spectacular.

There is also this deep pit of more than [-] meters. Even if there are guardrails and dense meshes on the side, Li Weidong stood on the side and looked down, feeling dizzy and having the urge to jump down.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Weidong said with emotion, and then said: "Master workers work overtime, and wages cannot be owed. If there is any problem, communicate with Director Zhang, and we can advance workers' wages in advance!"

Lin Jiajun quickly said: "Don't worry, Director Li, these are brothers who have been with us for a long time, and they will definitely not owe them anything, and their wages will be paid on time!"

"No one can owe wages to migrant workers!" Li Weidong nodded, then pointed to the railing and said, "This guardrail must be firm, I think it should be higher, and a dense mesh should be added around it. If you fall from such a height, at least half your life will be lost, and the responsibility for safety is greater than the sky!"

Mr. Lin said with emotion: "Mr. Li has a bodhisattva heart. Don't worry, we have safety education before each shift enters the site to ensure safe construction!"

"Actually, we have learned a lot in this regard. You may have noticed that the security brother at the door, who was originally a good person, fell off the scaffolding!"

"Although I was hanging on a safety rope, I still fell five or six meters down. It wasn't very high, but by accident, I hit my head and hurt my brain. The doctor said that my IQ is about the same as that of a ten-year-old child!"

"The whole family is pointing at him to earn money to support their family. Now that the money is so high, how many years can the compensation from the company last?

In the end, I had no choice but to bring him to the construction site, do some cleaning, look at the work on the gate, and earn some money to support the family! "

Only then did Chen Jun next to him know why a middle-aged labor force was allowed to watch the gate, and he also knew why this person was so obsessed.

Li Weidong glanced at Lin Jiajun, this was an explanation in disguise, the reason why the security guard stopped him at the door just now, it didn't look like he was telling a lie, so he probably didn't dare to lie to him.

"Boss Lin is a man of temperament!" This is the second time Li Weidong has commented on Lin Jiajun in this way. His words reminded Li Weidong of his brother-in-law, who also fell off the scaffolding back then, but he was not so lucky.

Lin Jiajun also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Weidong's words. Just now he knew that Li Weidong was stopped outside the door, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

But explaining directly to Li Weidong seemed to have underestimated Li Weidong's mind. Such a freshman boss still cares about a security guard.

You can't pass this threshold without explaining. Now take this opportunity to say that if Li Weidong accepts it, everyone will be happy.
