In the afternoon, Li Guangyu held a meeting of the main persons in charge of the group under the Li consortium in Xiangjiang.

The meeting was attended by the presidents or vice presidents of the major groups in Hong Kong, as well as the heads of the groups outside Hong Kong and members of the executive team.

Cao Weiqing, who is the head of the review department of the Li Foundation, and Du Yuemei, who is temporarily on vacation, also came to the conference room.

"We have just received news from Singapore that the sudden collapse of the New World Hotel in Singapore has triggered the biggest tragedy in Singapore since World War II, and the cause of the accident is not yet clear," Gan Qin said at the meeting. ”

"Isn't it absolutely strange that this matter has nothing to do with us, although it is also called New World Hotel, but it has nothing to do with the Zheng Family New World Development Group, how can we hold this meeting on purpose?"

Many people present really had such thoughts, and they introduced through Gan Qin that this is just a small six-story building, and now it is not worth mentioning at all compared to their buildings with dozens of floors and a height of hundreds of meters.

Li Guangyu did not wait for the following people to respond, he continued: "Everyone knows, we are accustomed to self-shopping for the development of the group, and at the same time, we also have four major real estate groups, safety and quality need us to be vigilant at all times, I don't want such a tragedy to appear in our group, the major groups in the purchase of property, must carefully check the building structure and drawings, several major real estate groups to give technical support." ”

The only thing Li Guangyu feels fortunate about is that he has no property in this building, a building that is less than 20 years old, suddenly collapsed, which makes Li Guangyu care about his own properties, and he hopes that the group will conduct a thorough investigation of these properties, and must not let his employees suffer such losses.

At the same time, new regulations should be made for several major real estate groups, and the design drawings made by them must be reviewed by a third party to ensure that there will be no quality problems in terms of force.

Kwok Ching Ya, President of Wheelock Group, said: "Our group will complete the inspection of all the properties of the group within two months, and review all the property construction and drawings again to ensure the safety of all our properties, and we are willing to provide technical support to the major groups."

At present, the most important properties to be audited are Tianyu Financial Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group, and Hongyu Clothing Group, which have stores all over the world and many regions.

This aspect cannot be ignored without review, this time the first floor of the Singapore New World Hotel is a bank, and who can ensure that the building of each business location of Tianyu Bank is safe, this time it is necessary to strengthen the audit.

Feng Xinqi, vice president of Starlight Real Estate Group, said: "Li Sheng, all the properties of our group are designed by the group itself, I will let the group review the drawings again, and we can complete the self-audit within a week, and our group is also willing to help other groups." ”

Representatives of Xingyue Group and the newly established Dongxing Group in Xiangjiang also expressed their willingness to help the major groups.

At present, the four major groups, except for Wheelock Group, which bought a large number of properties a few years ago, are all developing real estate by themselves, and the architectural drawings are preserved, and the development is a large-scale project, which can be completed soon.

Li Guangyu said: "Tianfan, Xiaoning, Qinghong, the three of you selected a few elites from the four major real estate groups plus the elites of law firms to form a joint review team to conduct a sample review of the properties after the audit of the major groups. ”

Yuan Tianfan immediately responded: "Li Sheng, I will arrange this aspect of affairs, but this cycle is only afraid of a long time, you also know that Tianyu Bank, Hongyu Clothing, Pengyu Group, Feiyu Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group and other stores are hundreds or thousands, and the workload here is very large, and we expect that it will take at least two years to complete the investigation." ”

Now I have discovered that there are too many properties under the Li consortium, not to mention others, the properties in the hands of major groups alone are enough to crush the richest man on the Forbes rich list.

To conduct a thorough survey of all the properties of the Lee consortium, this is a very large project, and it is definitely not possible to complete it in one or two months.

Even some high-level executives feel that just because of the collapse of the New World Hotel in Singapore, it is worth the loss to work so hard to review the safety issues of all the buildings under the Lee consortium.

Li Guangyu said: "No matter how long this review takes, we must complete it, which is responsible for the safety of every employee under our umbrella, and at the same time, major groups must first review whether the architectural drawings are qualified when acquiring properties in the future, and we must not joke with the safety of employees." ”

Du Yuemei knew that since Li Guangyu had already made a decision, it was impossible to change it, and the reason why this review was so long was due to the accumulation over the years, and the future would be much easier.

She said: "Li Sheng, I suggest that we set up a separate company in the field of construction audit, not only to deal with this investigation, but also to be reviewed by this company when we expand in the future, and at the same time, the project design drawings of several major real estate groups have also been reviewed by this company, which can reduce the occurrence of safety and quality problems." ”

Li Guangyu immediately agreed to Du Yuemei's suggestion, asked Gan Qin to prepare the affairs of the company, and transferred the chairman of the Defeng Group Design Company to be at the helm of the company.

Compared with those acquired properties, Li Guangyu is more worried about whether there are potential safety hazards in the projects built by the four major groups, and with the establishment of this company, he will be able to control whether there are problems with the design drawings of these major groups in the future.

If the building built by one of the groups under the Lee consortium suddenly collapses, Li Guangyu can't imagine how much damage it will do to the group.

"The New World Singapore incident is a painful lesson, and our major groups must take responsibility when acquiring properties, not only in terms of location and price, but also in terms of safety, which may make us work more, but it gives our employees peace of mind, and the extra effort is worth it," said Lee. ”

Large-scale complex projects are not too worried, and the most worried are those single projects, especially some projects established by small companies or even themselves in some Southeast Asian countries, whether these safety and quality can be guaranteed, which no one can say.

You must know that Tianyu Bank has opened its business offices in towns and villages in Baodao and some countries in Southeast Asia, and the construction quality audit in some towns is far less stringent than that in cities. This time, even in Singapore, a building that was less than 20 years old collapsed, and no one dared to guarantee the safety of some in other areas.

Everything still has to be checked by yourself to rest assured, so that you can know in your heart, compared to the regret that may occur in the future, it is worth paying some financial resources and manpower now.

The senior executives present also knew that after the incident in Singapore, countries and regions will definitely strengthen the review of construction project drawings to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.

Now their biggest problem is to clean up the original old accounts, especially the rapid expansion in recent years, they acquire small properties such as Xiangdian, they will not look at any architectural drawings at all, and some sellers who transfer stores do not have this thing, so they can only find construction companies and local departments.
