The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Fangsheng sent the tabloid to the conference room of the office building as usual.

Li Ming was reading the newspaper quietly in the office.

The day before yesterday was a rainy season, and now many places are starting to prepare for spring plowing.

Recent newspapers have more content on agricultural production.

‘Suzhou is beating the XX war drum and immediately setting off a boom in spring plowing and production! ’

‘The Joint General Headquarters of Zhejiang Province issued an emergency notice to seize XX and promote spring plowing! ’

‘Working hard and fighting against the wind and waves, Qingdao Ocean Fisheries Company went out to sea for the first time and achieved brilliant results! ’

‘Grab XX, vigorously promote production, race against time to support spring plowing, and factories in Black Province rush to produce spring plowing production machinery! ’

‘The world belongs to us! ’

The worker in the picture has thick arms and looks very powerful.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

"Please come in."

Before the door could even be closed tightly, Captain Fan Jiawen hurriedly said: "The section chief is in trouble."

Li Ming frowned and said, "What happened again?"

Captain Fan quickly walked to the desk and whispered: "A group of people from the army are coming to the factory."

"is it a lot?"

With questions on his lips, Li Ming immediately explored the steel rolling mill and found out more clearly.

Fortunately, there were not many people.

Captain Fan replied: "There are only a few people, but they are here to take charge of military control."

It is indeed not good news for Section Chief Li.

From now on, everything in the factory will no longer be decided by the factory, but will also have to follow the orders of the military control team.

His network is only Director Li, Deputy Director Nie and other factory leaders, and the new leaders may have other ideas.

Li Ming was mentally prepared for it, and he didn't mind it very much.

"This is a matter of time. So many units in the capital have already been controlled, and our steel rolling mill is already considered slow."

Captain Fan was still surprised. "Although our factory's output has dropped, at least it has not stopped. Logically speaking, we don't need people from the army to take care of it."

"And the output of our factory has dropped because of the lack of raw materials. Without materials, no one can start production."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "It's also good to have military management. You don't have to worry about those little soldiers coming to our factory in the future."

"That's true."

Captain Fan then reminded: "But as for the police team, they may not listen to your orders in the future."

Li Ming said indifferently: "Let them argue. Just do whatever you like. I don't want to care about so many things."

Captain Fan saw that Section Chief Li didn't care and didn't say anything more.

Judging from the security departments, post offices, banks, warehouses, and factories that have been taken over.

Those who have an impact are middle-level cadres such as factory leaders and Section Chief Li. It can be said that there is almost no impact on ordinary cadres and employees like Captain Fan.

Ring ring ring ring ring.

"Hello?" "It's me." "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Li Ming hung up the phone and said, "It's going to be a good meeting. The ones with two big foreheads are Director Li and the others."

"I'm going to the office building for a meeting. If you need anything, come find me there."

Captain Fan agreed, "It's enough to give Director Li a headache."

The content of the meeting in the office building was as expected.

Welcome to the military control team.

Li Ming applauded without hesitation. As long as it didn't involve him, he didn't have any opinions.

He never wanted to go further or anything like that.

If his identity as the security section chief of the steel rolling mill hadn't saved him from a lot of trouble, he wouldn't have even wanted the section chief position.

at the same time.

Hong Kong Island.

An instant noodle factory in Sai Wan.

It's almost the handover time between the morning shift and the midday shift, and it's crowded.

When they weren't busy with production, these employees were trying out braised beef-flavored instant noodles.

Lou Xiaoe personally came over to collect feedback.

If these workers think it tastes good, then it can be put on the market.

Several key members of the Xingchen Company also tasted the noodles together. They seemed to share the joys and sorrows, and their mouths watered just waiting to smell the aroma of instant noodles.

These people had already tried the food in the Central office before, so they stopped talking about the delicious food and chatted about gossip.

The eldest uncle said: "The police have been doing a lot recently, and yesterday they arrested another group of drug dealers."

Manager Wen Guangshun of the instant noodle factory answered: "Is it the Sham Shui Wad incident? I heard it when I listened to the radio in the morning."

Lou Xiao'e knew it well and said with some pride: "Good job. These drug sellers are the most evil."

Tang Hongde, the manager of Mars Trading, joked: "Yes, it does a lot of harm to people."

Manager Lin Changjiu of the ham sausage factory suddenly said: "There is a kind of hidden evil that harms a large group of poor people."

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Lin Changjiu did not sell out and replied: "The boss of the construction company."

"I also heard from people that a construction company undertook the construction of public housing. Cutting corners is very serious, and the occupants of those houses may be in danger."

Instant noodle Wen Guangshun asked in disbelief: "You're not cutting corners to the point that you can't live in it, right? Such a serious problem exposes a quality problem."

Lin Changjiu said quietly: "Maybe this is the result. If they just cut corners a little bit, I wouldn't say they did something immoral."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "This is too serious! There are many people living in public housing. If the building collapses, many people will die."

Lin Changjiu said again with certainty: "I'm not sure whether it's that serious in other places, but it's definitely like this in Ciyun Mountain Village."

Lou Xiao'e is still relatively young and asked: "After the building is completed, no one will check the quality?"

Lin Changjiu explained: "It's not just the detective assistant who is greedy for money, the departments of the Hong Kong government all have their own ways."

"Including those people from Yingguo, everyone is stuffed with benefits from top to bottom. The construction company has used money to gag them."

In the 80s, serious concrete spalling occurred in Kwai Fong Estate (pronounced cun, the same as "village"), which was only eight years old.

Among the 11 buildings, Buildings 5 ​​and 6 were the most serious. The walls, ceilings and beams were twisted and falling, making them uninhabitable.

After inspection, it was found that due to cutting corners during construction, the strength of the concrete was significantly lower than the standard, and the entire structure of the building could no longer support the building.

In 82, it cost HK$6 million to repair Tower 5000 alone.

The cost was too high. It would not cost so much to demolish and rebuild. In addition, the problem of Tower 5 became more and more serious, so it was decided to demolish Tower 5 as a whole.

This was the beginning of the public housing scandal.

I was shocked when I checked. From 85 to 92, a total of 729 buildings were found to have problems, of which 26 were the most serious and could collapse at any time, requiring people to be removed immediately.

There are still many buildings that were demolished and rebuilt before 85. The real number is far more than 729.

At this time, the ICAC was just bragging about its interests. The facts of the entire case were very clear. However, after more than two years of investigation, nothing was found. In 87, a few people were arrested after a builder turned out to be a tainted witness.

A builder was sentenced to 33 months in prison and fined HK$30.

A builder was suspended for 12 months and fined HK$4000.

Then it's over.

HK$4000 is probably not enough for these builders to go to a nightclub.

The uncle concluded: "I think there is no difference between Hong Kong City and Shanghaitan in the past."

"It's also Yingguo who has the final say, and the two tricksters do the actual work. Gangs are rampant in the market."

"There are people asking for money everywhere. If you don't give them money, nothing can be done. If you give them money, everything will be easy."

Lou Xiao'e retorted habitually: "You have never experienced Shanghaitan."

The eldest uncle is also used to being questioned by his younger sister, "Listen to what dad and second uncle say."

Lin Changjiu, the manager of the ham sausage factory, is older and has more experience.

"I moved here from Shanghai. Mr. Lou and others are right. It is probably what the port city is like now."

"But there are not only people from the Ying Kingdom in Shanghai, but also people from the Fa Kingdom and the Mei Kingdom. They are all superior to others."

The eldest uncle said unhappily: "Bah! Sooner or later we have to be the masters of the family."

Lou Xiaoe did not refute her elder brother this time.

Ni Xiu, the deputy manager of the instant noodle factory, ran over with the materials, "Chairman, Director Lou. The data for the middle shift has been calculated."

"50% of people think it's delicious, 30% think it's more delicious, and 20% think it's acceptable. No one thinks it's not delicious."

Lou Xiao'e smiled with satisfaction and said: "Very good. Let the early shift workers finish their work later and let them try it too."

Deputy Manager Ni responded: "Everything has been arranged."

"The braised beef flavor that Director Li asked to study is indeed delicious. The flavor of tomorrow's pork bone soup may be more popular with everyone."

Lou Xiao'e personally checked the registration materials and said while reading: "It's unlikely in the factory. Although the food in Hong Kong City has a fresh and sweet taste similar to wonton noodles."

"But factory workers are different and will prefer food with stronger taste. Pork bone soup will be less popular in factories."

The uncle said happily: "Dong Li's newly added sauce packets are a very good selling point, making the instant noodles more delicious and not as clear and watery as Japanese noodles."

"We can even set up a factory in Japan and fully occupy the small Japan market."

The greater the sales volume, the more flour and oil are needed, and the supply volume of the uncle's small company also increases accordingly.

With Li Ming's reminder, Lou Xiao'e is not blindly optimistic, "Japanese idiots will soon follow our lead. Even applying for a patent cannot stop us."

"And the disadvantage of adding sauce packets is also obvious. The shelf life is shortened a lot, only half a year. Otherwise, the shelf life of noodles and seasoning powder alone is one year."

The uncle said confidently: "Director Li has eliminated the gang's covetousness. If it can't be sold in half a year, then there must be a big problem in the company."

Lou Xiao'e explained: "I mean exporting will be troublesome in the future. It takes four or five days for a sea freighter to go to Japan and go through customs inspection. If the time is delayed, half a month will pass."

The eldest uncle smiled and said: "Don't think about exporting it yet, our port city hasn't even started selling goods yet."

Lou Xiao'e turned to ask: "How is the progress of Riben Jingcang Machinery and the others?"

My uncle is responsible for the matter, "The telegram said that they are working hard and will ship it to us within this week. I want them to ensure that the quality is reliable first. It doesn't matter if the delivery time can be pushed back a little."

Lou Xiao'e was originally planning to just take care of the books, but became more and more involved in various practical affairs. Although it did not involve specific details, she became more and more like a real chairman.

It would be much more difficult for her subordinates to deceive her by making false accounts.

evening.

Li Ming picked up Lou Xiao'e after get off work and returned to the small world.

The courtyard of the desert cabin.

Neither of them were hungry, so they chatted about business matters while making tea.

After what should be discussed was discussed, Lou Xiaoe talked about the news he heard in the afternoon.

"I heard from Lin Changjiu, the manager of the ham sausage factory, that many corners were cut in the construction of public housing in Hong Kong City, and even the buildings would collapse."

Hearing the sound of the string and knowing its elegant meaning, Li Ming asked: "Do you want me to take care of it?"

It feels so good to be connected with each other. Lou Xiao'e's eyes were bright, "You have many ideas. Do you have any good ideas to deal with this matter?"

Knowing that it was not in line with Li Ming's style to ignore it, he thought for a moment before saying:

"It's quite simple to take control of it. But if we take care of it in our capacity, we will offend a lot of people and cause a lot of trouble later."

"You can't do things like sending threatening letters to senior managers of the police station too many times. If you do it too often, it will alert others."

"Let the newspapers break the news."

Lou Xiao'e asked: "We don't have any evidence on hand, how can we break the news?"

Li Ming, a little expert at writing report letters, said: "It's just making it up."

"Write the matter more seriously, and then send the information anonymously to several newspapers. Those who support our side and those on the east side of the Taiwan Strait should send it to newspapers on both sides."

"In the letters sent to both parties, they both said that the other party's newspaper was suppressing the information and not publishing it."

"With the relationship between the two sides being like fire and water, with such an attack point, it must be a full-scale scolding."

"By the way, the cutting of corners in public housing has naturally come to light."

Lou Xiao'e hesitated and said: "I also considered the newspaper before. I was afraid that the newspaper would not dare to expose it."

Li Ming affirmed: "No problem. Although the fight between our side and the one on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait is fierce, there is still some arrogance. They don't even look at the Hong Kong Governor, and they are not afraid of those little guys at all. There you go."

"Normally, people on the east side of the Taiwan Strait might be bribed with money."

"The current situation on our side may be said to be spreading rumors to cause trouble."

"This time we used some small tricks to get the two parties to take action together. If the excitement gets too loud, neither party will leave easily."

"Anyone who cuts corners in public housing will be pursued."

Li Ming was talking about this, but what he was thinking about was getting some information on the building regulations back to the capital.

For example, force analysis and calculation in engineering.

At this time, the engineering field in the mainland was indeed very backward, with a lack of hydrology, wind power, temperature and other data.

There are also issues with basic materials such as cement grade and steel bar quality.

Moreover, the problem is even more serious due to the lack of design computing power.

The design institute doesn't just draw a pattern and that's it. There are also a bunch of engineering calculation drawings to ensure that the design plan can be realized.

Infrastructure maniacs cannot be cultivated casually. Money alone is of no use. What is needed is the support of engineers with a lot of mature experience.

Of course, Li Ming will also use some examples of failure to scare people.

Otherwise, many people will not take it seriously and just act recklessly.

The consequences of failure are so serious. We should warn those who make decisions to avoid detours. In the future, they cannot use the excuse of not understanding or paying tuition as an excuse.

He can let people find examples of failures from "Reference News".

The source is relatively formal.

Disclose external mistakes, especially those of Magnesium, Su and other countries.

Both cadres and the masses are happy to hear about such things.

Finally, let’s raise some questions to sublimate the theme. We can’t make the same mistake.

Steady. (End of chapter)
