Chapter 2670 Bold Proposal
In Mei Yiliang's office, his uncle was making tea for his nephew. "Is there really so much to do this year? It's been several months, and you've only been home once."
"There are more things to do this year, so let's finish this year," Feng Yiping said.
Mei Yiliang remembered that this was not the first time he had heard his nephew say this.
"I think you should buy a helicopter with first-class safety performance," he suggested, "so that you can get back to Wuli'ao faster."
Now, it only takes about three hours to get back to Wuli'ao because the whole journey is directly on the highway, but in fact, it still takes about four hours each time.
The most time-consuming thing is naturally when leaving the city. It usually takes half an hour to leave from the provincial capital and get on the highway.
"With a helicopter, it will take at most an hour and a half to get there, which will save half a day's time for the round trip,"
"Besides, you can't let the town spend so much money to build an airport only for sightseeing and a few medical purposes,"
He looked at his nephew's face, "I know that it's okay for you to invest in a general aviation airport, but didn't you hear the experts say that even if we have built it, takeoff and landing will also test the crew's skills,"
"So don't think about it for the time being,"
Feng Yiping raised his hand, "Okay, I'll let them see, it just so happens that it should be cost-effective to buy a helicopter in the past two years,"
He thought that at this time, helicopters and business jets, and even large passenger planes, should have ushered in a wave of cancellations, and there should be no worries about buying a first-hand aircraft at a second-hand price.
Then his expression became serious, "I see, in the first quarter of this year, the problems found and the employees involved have increased by nearly 30% compared with the same period last year?"
Mei Yiliang shook his head, "The stock market is not good, the economy is not good, which has indeed led to more violations of discipline this year than last year."
It's very simple. Some people who have lost too much in the stock market and may even owe foreign debts may not be as law-abiding as before, and will rack their brains to find ways to enrich themselves at work.
"Fortunately, our system is very strict. Although there are many investigations and punishments, there are not many serious ones, and there are not many bad ones."
"But there are still many things that make people sad," he said a little heavy, "There is a middle-level manager in Youjia who I still remember. He graduated from a famous university and has good abilities. I think that if he is trained further, he may not be worse than Zhiyi."
"But this time it was found that he accepted a kickback of 5,300 yuan. In fact, it can be regarded as passive acceptance."
"The reason is mainly because his newly married wife misappropriated the company's funds to speculate in stocks, and ended up with a big loss. It may not be enough to sell their house,"
Feng Yiping shook his head immediately, "So It is better to find out the person early, especially the behavior of taking kickbacks that will damage the company's image. We must not tolerate it. "
"People who may become senior executives in the future should not have such problems,"
Mei Yiliang agreed with his nephew's point of view, "Yes, that may cause irreparable losses,"
"But I always think that if it is not the situation this year, well, there may be other situations...but I really think it is a pity,"
"I know his family conditions are average. When he bought the house, he emptied his family's assets just for the down payment. I think it will be difficult for him to find a satisfactory job in this environment this year, alas!" He sighed.
Behavior like this person does not need to be transferred to the law because it has not caused bad consequences, but he will definitely be fired without saying a word.
As for this year's environment, although it looks good on the surface, for example, the overall Spring Fair is still higher than last year, but in fact, people working in the coastal areas have returned home one after another, and the employment situation is quite unsatisfactory.
Feng Yiping's impression is that due to the impact of subprime loans, the number of migrant workers who returned home early this year seems to exceed 30 million?
Under such circumstances, it may be difficult for this person to find another job that can earn half of what he has now.
"It's important that the company doesn't treat him unfairly," he said to his uncle.
In fact, this is why he is relieved to hand over the supervision to his uncle.
His family conditions were very ordinary since he was a child, and he had been in the underworld, so his uncle has a clear understanding of human feelings, right and wrong, and interests.
He is principled in doing things, but this guy who looks rough is actually very soft at heart.
Feng Yiping wants such a person to be in charge of the supervision department, not a guy who does not recognize his relatives in his actions and in his heart.
To be honest, he really doesn't dare to use such a person.
Right and wrong are principles, but kindness is directly related to human nature.
This is not empty talk or clichés, because everyone knows that relying only on strict investigation and heavy punishment will definitely not eliminate similar problems, and no matter how good the system is, it cannot plug loopholes.
"Yes," Mei Yiliang nodded, "That's true, but it also shows that we don't care enough about some employees. I also specifically raised this issue with Mr. Zhou." - See, this is why Feng Yiping is worried that it is difficult to find someone like his uncle.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me report to you about the railway?"
"Okay," Feng Yiping was interested. If high-speed rail can be connected everywhere now as in the future, why would we consider helicopters?
The price of a high-end helicopter is that they can build at least one kilometer of highway with a price of 60 million per kilometer, which is equivalent to at least one kilometer of high-speed rail.
"I think it shouldn't be a problem to establish the project," he asked.
"Of course it's not a problem to establish the project," Mei Yiliang said with a smile.
Because this is not only a request from Wuli'ao, but also the desire of the people in the county.
"The problem is the positioning of this railway,"
Feng Yiping was a little confused, "What's the problem with this?"
He said at the beginning that the city extends to the county, and the county extends to the town, mainly for commuting.
"The city proposed that they hope to be more closely connected with the county, specifically, to be more closely connected with Wuli'ao, so their opinion is to build it directly from the city to Wuli'ao without passing through the county,"
Feng Yiping was speechless.
This is a bit cruel.
Their city, their county, and Wuli'ao just form a triangle.
In fact, many people go to the city and the province, generally without passing through the county.
But Feng Yiping quickly refused, "This won't work,"
Of course not.
He proposed to build a railway for the county residents to commute to the optical park in Wuli'ao. This would be built directly from the city. The existence of the railway would be solved, but the problem of going from the county to Wuli'ao to work would not be solved, as it is 60 kilometers away.
"Well, the county doesn't agree either,"
The county certainly doesn't agree, unless they want to move the county seat to Wuli'ao - Feng Yiping guessed that they really wanted to, but this was just a thought, and the higher-ups would definitely not agree.
"So, the city came up with another plan. They said that there are already several lines in the country with EMUs in operation, and there are several high-speed railways that will be open to traffic next year, so why not just upgrade the level of this railway, not to mention directly to high-speed rail, at least to fast rail, and preferably a fast rail that goes directly from the provincial capital,"
"So, it's stuck now?" Feng Yiping asked.
From ordinary rail to fast rail, and a fast rail that goes directly to the provincial capital, it can actually be regarded as an intercity railway. The difficulty of this project has increased a lot.
This term of city leaders is bold!
"Yes, so the plan has not been finalized yet,"
"Wait, wait," Feng Yiping waved his hand in confusion, "The city's finances actually support such a project now?"
You know, when he was still in junior high school, the city had to forcibly deduct part of the wages and pensions of civil servants because it wanted to build a cross-river bridge, which directly led to the resignation of a mayor and the appointment of Zheng Jiayi's mother.
More than ten years have passed, and the city's financial strength is so strong?
"Of course not," Mei Yiliang smiled at Feng Yiping, "but they think you are there!"
Feng Yiping almost got up and left. Two or three hundred kilometers of high-speed railway, such a large infrastructure project depends on me? What a joke?
"The city has been contacting me these two days, hoping to discuss this with you in person. They proposed that this railway can be a public-private partnership, and then strive to go public in the future," Mei Yiliang said.
"I don't think this is a good idea," Feng Yiping shook his head immediately. "If such a line is to be profitable, it must be connected from Wuli'ao to the neighboring province in the future. Do you think the Ministry of Railways is willing to allow a section of such a railway to be operated in a public-private partnership?"
Do you think the iron tiger is a scare tactic?
As for investment, yes, the Ministry of Railways has a limited annual allocation, but they dare to owe money. Trillions are not a problem. Later, it seems that the interest alone is hundreds of billions every year. Do they still lack this little investment?
"The city naturally considered this issue. They said that this is left to them to solve."
If this is true, it seems that it is not impossible to consider it.
"Tell them that I don't have time now. Let's prove it ourselves first," he shook his head, "No, tell them that the conventional railway should be built first because we have to consider freight,"
