Chapter 579: Feelings of a Generation
Da da da.
The sound of machinery was deafening. Yang Dongxu wore a safety helmet and a group of people at the road construction site to check the progress. In order to show that he attaches great importance to this road, he needs to come to the site to inspect it. After all, no matter how much you emphasize it with words, it is never as direct as actions.
"The progress is still a bit slow." Yang Dongxu frowned as he looked at the construction at the site.
"We have been working overtime. In fact, our progress is the fastest while ensuring quality. If we want to go faster, we will soon be useless." A man with a dark complexion and traces of time left by wind and frost said. The middle-aged man in a hard hat said.
Zhou Huaiguo, who is currently the person in charge of hurricane construction highway construction, was formerly with Sanjian Construction. Later, he was recruited by Fu Dehai. He was the kind of go-getter who could fight and shoulder responsibilities.
At the beginning, due to various negotiations with the government, organizing the construction team, and managing construction materials and workers, Hurricane Construction was in a mess, but it was unable to meet Yang Dongxu's requirements. But since Zhou Huaiguo came, everything was in order and made people feel comfortable.
"There is a shortage of machinery, right?" Yang Dongxu sighed as he looked around. There were many people on the construction site, but there were very few machines. Many tasks that can be done easily by machines require a lot of time and manpower, so the progress of road construction cannot be accelerated even if it is attempted.
And their section of the road is pretty good, at least the mixer trucks can be used in front of them. In other sections of the road, you may not see a concrete mixer truck for a long distance, and most of the concrete is done manually.
"Isn't there a shortage of machinery? There is a shortage of machinery. It's not just us who are lacking machinery. The entire road is lacking, and even the whole country is lacking." Zhou Huaiguo said with some excitement.
It can be said that the top leaders of the country are working hard on how to develop the domestic economy, but many technical gaps have made the already difficult path forward even more difficult.
"It will be fine, everything will be fine." Yang Dongxu patted Zhou Huaiguo on the shoulder.
"Yes, everything will be fine." Zhou Huaiguo nodded vigorously. His 45-year-old face, which already had many wrinkles, had extremely firm eyes.
"Is there anything you need me to do?" Yang Dongxu asked after walking around the construction site.
"It's true. There's nothing else. But the summer temperature is about to arrive, so construction may require daytime rest at night, but there are lighting equipment on the construction site. The company has no reserves in this regard. I applied to the government, and they have been He said he would wait a moment, but now that the high temperature is coming, he really can’t wait, otherwise it will definitely affect the progress of road construction," Zhou Huaiguo said with some embarrassment.
To be honest, Zhou Huaiguo was very happy after coming to Hurricane Construction, not because his salary was higher than before. But there is no need to deal with boring meals and relationships anymore, and there is no need to make some trade-offs without conscience and scheming every day to think about how to climb up. Just do your own thing down-to-earth. Although this kind of work is tiring, it makes you feel relaxed.
"Let me help you with the urging. If it doesn't work, just contact the company to buy a batch. Anyway, highway construction is not a one-time deal. After this road is built, we will need to build other ones." Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment: "Forget it, let's just buy it."
Rather than arguing with the government, it is better to buy directly. Besides, this thing seriously belongs to the construction team, so there seems to be no reason for the government to provide it for free.
In fact, Zhou Huaiguo also understood this truth. A set of good lighting equipment can cost tens of thousands of yuan. He saw other construction teams reaching out to the government, so naturally he couldn't tell the company that we should pay for it ourselves.
Otherwise, will the company's senior management think, "What?" The government's money is money, and the company's money is money, right? Other construction teams are thinking about saving money for the company and applying to the government. What do you mean by asking the company to pay directly?
"That's great, but will other people have any ideas?" Zhou Huaiguo showed a smile on his face, but soon he looked hesitant.
These people are obviously not from the company. The big boss Yang Dongxu has spoken, so the company must have no objection. The people who have objections are naturally other construction teams. Now everyone is united to get benefits from the government. How do you mean that you can directly buy hurricane buildings? Being a traitor?
"If you have any opinions, it's none of our business. If they can, they will continue to exert pressure and wait for the lighting equipment to come down. If the construction period is delayed, they will be chased to see if they still have any opinions." Yang Dongxu sneered.
Relevant households are the cancer of the government. This is not just about people who are paid and occupy positions without giving a shit. There are also people who take projects based on connections.
Otherwise, if a small lighting equipment costs tens of thousands of yuan, other construction teams would have bought it themselves and worked hard. How is it possible to ask the government to provide money? Isn't this just because you rely on your connections to take advantage of the government?
"Then let's do it." Zhou Huaiguo didn't expect that Yang Dongxu didn't care at all, and the smile on his face became more cheerful. People who do practical things like to work for a boss who solves problems directly without procrastination.
"Well, you can apply for funds directly from the finance department. I don't understand this aspect very well, but the company has to spend its money wisely." Yang Dongxu glanced at Zhou Huaiguo.
"Don't worry, boss. I will be responsible for all the funds I apply for and the things I purchase. I will be responsible for anything that happens." Zhou Huaiguo promised, patting his chest.
"I'm glad you understand." Yang Dongxu nodded, then thought of something and motioned Zhou Huaiguo to wait for him to go to the side and make a phone call. After a few minutes, he came back and said to Zhou Huaiguo: "Some of the equipment on my construction site is built by the workers themselves, which can be completely replaced by machinery. I have some connections in Sany Heavy Industry. You can summarize what machinery is needed on the construction site, or what foreign machinery you know, and communicate with the R&D personnel at Sany Heavy Industry when you have time."
"I communicate with those scientists?" Zhou Huaiguo was a little dumbfounded. Obviously, he didn't expect Yang Dongxu to arrange such a job.
"R&D cannot be divorced from reality, right? Especially for these practical engineering machinery, having an experienced person to give suggestions is definitely much better than them burying their heads in R&D or asking other people for advice.
It's just to let you summarize what kind of machine is better for those time-consuming and laborious tasks, or what functions are missing in some practical machines now, and what functions need to be improved. It's just to give suggestions for reference."
The parent company of Sany Heavy Industry is Sany Group, which was established in 1989. In order to break the traditional technology "phobia" of the Chinese people and insist on independent innovation and rise, the country established Sany Heavy Industry last year, that is, in 1994.
Because he had dug a lot of good things from the former Soviet Union before, he couldn't use many technologies. So he handed them over to the country. Therefore, when Sany Heavy Industry was established, many leaders had a good impression of him and gave him the opportunity to invest in shares with money.
For such a thick thigh, Yang Dongxu would definitely rush up and hug him without hesitation, and also provide some help in some technical research and development, such as the engine technology of heavy machinery, although he didn't have it.
But since the acquisition of Maserati, his automobile engine technology is still relatively complete, so he did not hesitate to bring it out for reference, which made many leaders have a better impression of him. Therefore, after knowing that he is good at making money, they occasionally ask some questions about how to convert research into products and sales.
After all, there is a shortage of money in the country these days. Although the establishment of Sany Heavy Industry has been valued by the top leaders of the country, the funds are definitely not sufficient. They also need to find ways to expand some hematopoietic functions, otherwise many research and development can only remain on paper and cannot be carried out in practice.
"That's no problem, I will definitely summarize it seriously." Hearing that he only put forward some of his own ideas and opinions, instead of doing research with those highly educated people, Zhou Huaiguo agreed. As an old engineer who has worked on the construction site for nearly 40 years, he is still very confident about this aspect of work.
"Then you should pay more attention to this matter, or if you have other friends and colleagues who know this, you can also contact them to summarize together. I will give you a separate salary at that time."
"What do you mean by separate salary? Boss, aren't you teasing me? This is also a contribution to the country. I volunteered. I won't do it if you pay me."
"Okay, okay, I won't pay you. I'll treat you to a drink with some old engineers when I have time, okay?" Yang Dongxu said hurriedly when he saw Zhou Huaiguo angry.
Zhou Huaiguo's rise was obviously not a false courtesy, or a play-hard-to-get. For their generation, as long as they can contribute to the country, let alone just spending time summarizing their opinions, they don't care even if they shed blood and sweat.
It is precisely because of the risks of generations of people like Zhou Huaiguo that the backbone of the country has slowly straightened up. From a backward agricultural country, it has once again stood on the top of the world. Let those capitalist countries see how awesome this nation that has always stood on the top of human civilization is.
After inspecting the construction site, Yang Dongxu went directly to Ningbo and stayed in the company for a week. After sorting out the things that needed to be sorted out, he continued to throw the work to Yu Feihong and flew back to Yanjing.
The world tour of Haina Records Department has basically ended. At present, many stars have begun to return from abroad one after another to perform in some big cities. In addition to their return, they also brought back a group of people, a group of management of foreign record companies.
These managements were not poached by Haina when they saw the opportunity, but they were well-informed and were attracted by some things of Haina's world tour.
So after arranging the way to enter the mainland, they all rushed to the Yanjing Haina headquarters, fearing that if they went too late, the good things would be snatched away.
