Chapter 432: A basin of cold water
A-Ying walked directly to Zeng Youliang, stretched out his hand to take the newspaper away, and said with a smile: "Chairman, Lu Yao has brought you great news!"
"When will you learn to be calm? Do you know what you are now? I will soon become president and take my place in the overall management of the company. How can I rest assured that I am like you? Lu Yao, sit down and say? What kind of good news is it? It's still very big. Could it be that all the civil projects of the airport are going to be completed ahead of schedule? Isn't it so magical?" Zeng Youliang asked lightly. He slowly took off his reading glasses, turned his head and glared at A-Ying again, motioning for her to sit down and listen together.
Next, Lu Yao told in detail about the joint construction of the industrial park with Fuwei Village. What Lu Yao and Ah Ying didn't expect was that Zeng Youliang sat there like a bottle of Buddha and said nothing.
After a while, he picked up the teacup, slowly drank the tea in the cup and said: "At present, our company's main project in Yunhai City, that is, the civil engineering of the airport, will take more than three years to complete, and the company's engineering and technical personnel are basically in the airport project department. Although the benefits of building an industrial park with Fuwei Village are very great, we do not have enough manpower! It can be seen from the conversation between the village chief and Lu Yao that he is very eager to build this industrial park, which means that he will not give us too much time. Tell me, where are we going to organize so many people in a short period of time?"
"What we lack is technicians, and ordinary construction workers are easy to recruit. We really can't have so many people to contract out the project. A-Ying said.
"How do we issue a contract? Is it a full package or a half package? How can we control the quality of the project when the whole package is out? After the completion of the industrial park, we are the actual managers of the park, and the profits account for the lion's share. If the quality of the project is not up to standard, do we have to repair it at any time? The contract period is 30 years, and if there are more repairs, what profit will there be? Have you considered these questions?" Zeng Youliang asked.
After Ah Ying heard this, she turned her head sideways to look at Lu Yao, who was expressionless, and then pulled up her pretty face and pursed her mouth, and stopped talking there.
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said unhurriedly: "Uncle, several of the most important main projects of the airport are about to be completed, and the later stage is to decorate and do some finishing work. Engineers and constructors of some projects, as well as ordinary workers, can be transferred to the industrial park for construction. The construction team still adopts the airport model, with our company's construction team as the mainstay, and then contracts a part to other construction teams with strength. ”
"I think Lu Yao's plan is feasible!" Ah Ying echoed.
"I know that the constructor and the construction team are easy to solve, and I consider qualified engineers. At present, there are very few engineers in our company who really build large-scale factories and industrial parks, where can we find qualified engineers now? Liu Yang is definitely competent, but can he be mobilized before the airport terminal is fully completed?" Zeng Youliang asked.
"Aren't there four or five engineers who have been in charge of design and review in the company for a long time?
"Didn't you hear what I said just now? All the engineers in our company, except for Liu Yang, basically have no experience in building large-scale factories and industrial parks!" Zeng Youliang glared.
"I have someone to give it a try!" Lu Yao said.
"Who?" Zeng Youliang and Ah Ying asked at the same time.
"Lin Zhengyang!" Lu Yao replied.
"Don't forget, he has only been a construction worker in the airport project department for more than a year, and he left in the last two months, how long has he been back this time? No matter how good his professional knowledge is, he can't do it without practical work experience. This is a construction project, not a drawing, and if it is wrong, it cannot be modified!" Zeng Youliang said solemnly.
"What should we do then? We can't throw away the fat we have in our hands, right?" asked A-Ying with a sad face.
"If you don't have a qualified engineer, you can't be absolutely sure that you can do a good job, and you'd rather throw it away than stink it in your hands. We are a construction company, so we have to take a long-term view, especially to maintain our reputation in the industry! You must remember that you can never run out of money! At any time, don't think about taking over all the projects. We must tailor our clothes and do what we can, so that we can achieve steady and far-reaching results!" Zeng Youliang said solemnly.
"Alas! It's a pity to give up such a good project! If we do a good job, we will have a stable income for 30 years, which is still very considerable! I have discussed with Lu Yao and are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to transform into the real estate industry. A-Ying said.
"What? Are you going to transform into a real estate company?"
"That's right! That's my long-term plan for Lu Yao and me!" replied.
"Lu Yao, is this your idea, or is it your eldest sister's idea?" Zeng Youliang asked.
"It's his suggestion, and I fully agree with it!" A-Ying said preemptively.
"I didn't ask you! I want to hear Lu Yao's true thoughts! Lu Yao, tell me about it!" Zeng Youliang said solemnly.
"Uncle, I know that at present, the company is mainly engaged in civil engineering, and its strength is very strong in China, so the company can contract projects in the whole country and in major cities in the world. As long as the stability of the company is maintained, our company can be invincible in the construction industry for a long period of time.
My real idea is to get involved in the real estate sector on the basis of stabilizing the development of the construction company, that is, to set up another real estate development company. It can be a side hustle of a construction company and operate according to the existing business model. It can also be independent from the construction company and operate independently, and be responsible for its own profits and losses. Lu Yao said.
"Tell us about your knowledge of real estate and your plans. Zeng Youliang said.
"Some time ago, I deliberately checked some information about the first land auction in Yunhai City, and the final transaction price was nearly three times higher than the low price. I also looked at the land transactions in the past two years, and there were a lot of companies participating in the bidding each time, hundreds of them, and the scene was quite hot. Last month, I also went to see a land auction and I found that there were a lot of bidders, all of which were real estate developers in Hong Kong. As we all know, Hong Kong is an international financial centre that brings together the world's financial and investment elites. ”
