Xiao Ming was busy at the construction site during this period, and he never paid attention to these things before his rebirth, so he naturally didn't know about the changes in this industry.
Little did Xiao Ming know that earlier, the famous County Construction Company No. 3 had made a big news to the people of the province.
County Construction Company No. 3 was established in 1980 and was one of the first collective-owned construction companies in the county. After the company was restructured in 1996, it became a private enterprise under the leadership of Zhu Tao.
The company has a construction team of 300 people. The team has the largest number of veteran technicians in the city, 93, including 15 senior engineers and 63 intermediate engineers. Among them, 25 have construction worker certificates. The rest of the technicians have a minimum education of technical secondary school. .
Not only that, the company also has a 42-person professional design team in construction, municipal administration, bridges, water supply and drainage, electrical, etc. The team includes 3 registered architects, 5 registered structural engineers, and 2 registered geotechnical engineers.
In addition, there are all kinds of machinery and equipment. The financial statements for 1998 show that its fixed assets are 32.18 million yuan.
Such a powerful company is now in trouble because of one incident. This year, the industry authorities rejected its qualification upgrade.
As early as December last year, for the Hongyu Bay Bridge built by the third company, Hou Quanfei, the purchasing manager, accepted corrosion from a company without any steel production qualification and purchased more than two steel pipes from this company because of his own selfish desires. Thousands of tons of unbranded steel, he purchased through intermediary channels the brands of large manufacturers and pasted them on inferior steel bars to make huge profits.
During the inspection process, Hou Quanfei also recruited and corroded witnesses, using steel from small factories as steel from large factories, deceiving the laboratory and participating units, and ultimately caused the company to fall into an abyss.
Hou Quanfei made a profit of 6.8 million from this incident alone. Then in February this year, he resigned directly and took his family to settle abroad.
The Hongyuwan Bridge was also directly scrapped due to engineering quality problems. The winning bid to build the bridge was 36.5 million, which not only caused huge economic losses to Party A, but also had a bad impact on the local society. This summer It was listed as a negative teaching material by the provincial construction authorities.
How could Hongyuwan Company just let it go? If such a big thing happened, the reason must be found, right?
After half a year of investigation and visits, the relevant departments of the company finally collected evidence that they used inferior steel. Hongyuwan Company took the three companies to court.
In August this year, the court ruled that the three companies should pay Hongyuwan Company 29.8 million yuan for the Hongyuwan Bridge construction project, and sentenced the company's legal representative Zhu Tao to 13 years in prison. The company returned the 29.8 million yuan collected for the project and was fined 300 yuan. Ten thousand yuan.
Zhu Tao and his family were completely confused by this unreasonable disaster. The mainstay of the family fell down, and they had to find a way to collect money to settle the matter.
In addition to the 3 million in cash on the company's account, there was still a huge hole that could not be filled. Faced with tremendous pressure, Zhu Tao's wife Wang Hui continued to encourage him to sell the company, hoping to raise money to fill the hole. .
Although the third company is only a third-level enterprise, as soon as the news came out, wolves from the entire province and even outside the province swarmed in, and there were more than 300 quotations.
However, the more than 300 quotations showed a tendency to eat people without spitting out bones, and the highest quotation was only 5 million yuan.
One of them quoted a price of 6 million, but their conditions were unacceptable to Wang Hui. They only wanted the design department.
This made Wang Hui very angry. Although she had only stayed at home to care for her husband and raise children in the past few years, it did not mean that she had no courage. She decisively rejected all the offers. She would slowly hold on to this mess and wait for the right person.
I'm really trying to hold on. Since the company's accident, I haven't won a bid, and I can't even pass the pre-qualification stage, so what price do I have to quote.
This made Wang Hui even more anxious. Faced with huge losses every day, she was overwhelmed. She couldn't increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so she fired the company's employees. After all, they were all people who had devoted their youth to this company! She was reluctant to part with it and spread word throughout the county that as long as there was a suitable person, she would agree to the transfer.
Zheng Fei told Zeng Yiming all this news, and the other party also gave him a contact number, which made him grateful.
Zeng Yiming felt that this was also an opportunity. If handled properly, there might still be a good chance of winning. He decided to finish the matters at hand first. After all, project quality and safety issues were equally important.
Xiao Ming said goodbye to Zheng Fei and returned to the construction site alone with the drawings.
Lao He had already been waiting for him at the door with eager anticipation. As soon as Xiao Ming turned the corner and revealed his figure, Lao He jumped up and ran to him, claiming credit: "Mr. Zeng, you are back. Hurry up. Go check it out, if there is any problem, correct it, if there is no problem, just let Lao Zhang do the work!"
Xiao Ming glared at him and said calmly: "Calm down, there is plenty of time, don't rush."
After saying that, he walked to the office alone, put down the drawings, patted Cheng Zi on the shoulder, and said happily: "Brother, keep working hard!"
The fat man glanced at him sideways and muttered: "I don't know where he gets such energy. I can't bear this!"
Chengzi didn't try to persuade him, shook his head silently, and continued to work hard.
Xiao Ming took a flashlight, a handful of rolling materials, put on a safety helmet, and asked Lao He and Lao Wang to follow.
Xiao Ming sighed a little when he saw the towering scaffolding and formwork in front of him. After pouring for the last time, he was finally about to complete the task of this project.
He called Lao Zhang and arranged: "Let your brothers get moving. Warm up first and fill the gravel on the road. Before pouring concrete, let's try to fill up the hole in the road first to prevent anyone from failing. Be careful if you fall in, it will be a big deal."
Lao Zhang nodded dully, said nothing, and hurried back to arrange work.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ming shook his head and took the other two people to check for possible problems regardless of his plans.
Xiao Ming first looked up and looked around the wall that had started to be poured, and found no obvious defects, and even very few honeycomb pits, which showed that Lao Zhang's people still put their best efforts into it.
He took a tape measure to measure the distance between the steel pipe supports and found that it was basically reasonable. He carefully checked the lower overlap and found no problems. When he climbed to the top, he saw some sawdust and scaffolding buckles on the top of the retaining wall. It was a mess. He frowned and asked: "Which of you is responsible for the hygiene here? Clean it up for me quickly."
Xiao Ming continued to walk forward, feeling a little angry inside. Along the way, he checked the size of the template and found no problems. However, the upper horizontal tie rods were sparse and sparse, which was very different from what he had explained.
He waved calmly, and when Lao Wang came closer, he suddenly pointed at Lao Wang and scolded him: "What the hell! Why do you treat me with such an attitude? It's a shame that I still trust you so much, hurry up Yes, find someone to make up for it, and I’ll give you another half hour.”
