Chapter 166: Meet the Parents

How strict is Xiangjiang's supervision of construction projects? A case called the "Yu Cui Yuan Short Pile Incident" that occurred in real history may be very revealing.

As we all know, since the 70s, Heung Kong has been building public housing on a large scale, including rental public housing and "HOS" flats similar to affordable housing in the Mainland. More than half of the families in Heung Kong actually live in this kind of public housing. This achievement is very remarkable, and this achievement has always been the pride of the Xiangjiang government, and the various "housing projects" in China in later generations are actually learning from Xiangjiang.

However, the "tofu slag project" is not a domestic specialty, so to speak, the phenomenon of cutting corners in construction projects is common all over the world, even in Xiangjiang, which has a good level of integrity.

It was probably around 2000 that Xiangjiang's "Tofu Slag House" was first exposed. An investigation by the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found that serious corner-cutting was taking place at a shopping mall and car park construction site in Tung Chung New Town, Tin Shui Wai, New Territories. One of the most concerning is that more than 10 of the piles used to support the building are nearly half the length of the contract, reaching more than 10 meters, which puts the entire building in danger of collapse. As a result, Heung Kong Media called the incident a "short pile scandal".

There's nothing else to say, let's see how the people of Xiangjiang deal with this matter.

Upon discovering the problem, ICAC investigators took swift action and immediately arrested 10 laboratory staff and the builders involved in falsifying pile reports. At the same time, the scope of the inspection was expanded, and in the same community, investigators found that there were problems with two other 33-storey "HOS flats", and the foundation was also short-posted, and the ICAC arrested 10 people again.

Subsequently, the ICAC stepped up its investigation to collect evidence, prosecute the shady contractor and refer the case to the Judiciary. A year later, the Heung Kong High Court sentenced the two construction businessmen involved in the construction of the "Yu Chui Court Short Pile Case" to 12 years in prison, and the public officials of the laboratory involved in the falsification of pile reports were also dealt with separately, and those who should be fired were dismissed and those who should be imprisoned.

Not only that, but the two 33-storey buildings, which may have been a safety hazard, were forcibly demolished by the Xiangjiang government.

The above is the result of the Xiangjiang people's handling of this matter.

To be honest, when Li Huayong saw the relevant report for the first time, as an industry insider, he could only write a capital "service" to the Xiangjiang government's approach.

It is conceivable that if this incident had happened in China, it would not have been the result of this kind of treatment at all. The "brick families" and "beasts" from all walks of life, they can find more than 100 reasons not to demolish the two buildings.

And to tell the truth, even Li Huayong himself, he felt that demolishing the building was indeed a bit of a waste. You must know that the place where the two buildings are located is Tin Shui Wai in the New Territories of Hong Kong, which is different from Central, and belongs to the "mountainous area" of Xiangjiang, where the geology is actually quite good.

However, the people of Xiangjiang did this, which seems to be a simple and crude approach, but in fact, it ensures the quality of the project in the entire region, and at the same time improves the quality of the entire construction industry in disguise.

Li Huayong will mention the Independent Commission Against Corruption to Li Er at this time, in fact, this is the reason. I believe that Li Erzi has been here for so long, and he must have felt a different construction atmosphere from China.

Of course, Li Huayong said this just casually. This is the first time that a domestic enterprise has contracted a project in Xiangjiang, and it is said that it is cutting corners, even if they have that heart, it is estimated that they do not have the courage.

Li Huayong and Li Er were stunned and talked and laughed and walked around the construction site, there was nothing to say about the construction, looking at Lin Wei who was following behind, Li Er was stunned and squeezed his eyebrows at Li Huayong, and whispered secretly:

"It's okay to dunzi, now this Director Lin is probably taken down by you, right?"

Li Huayong couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Sure enough, it's all evil capitalism, you see how pure a comrade is, how long has it been since his thinking has become so dirty? Look at what you said, what does it mean to be taken down by me so ugly." ”

"Pretend, you can pretend, Director Lin looks at you now, it is very different from before. ”

"What's the difference? I can't see it. ”

"Yes. Li Er was stunned and looked like an old god:

"Dunzi, let me tell you, the way she looks at you is very different from before, it's really completely different. ”

Li Huayong secretly looked at Lin Wei, anyway, he couldn't see any difference in Lin Wei's eyes:

"Go and go, by the way, Li Gong, you don't seem to have seen your Tianda reporter for a long time, I should give Lao Lei a suggestion, give this guy a few days off, and save yourself thinking about some messy things here every day." ”

Although Li Huayong couldn't see any difference in Lin Wei's eyes, in the next few days, Li Huayong also noticed Lin Wei's abnormality.

"Lotus, do you have something on your mind?"

"No, no. ”

Li Huayong looked at Lin Wei's eyes and smiled silently.

"You, what are you laughing at? You are not allowed to laugh like that, I hate to see your smile the most. ”

"Lotus, do you know that you are actually a person who is not good at lying, I just laughed at you and said panic and wrote it all on your face. ”

"I really don't have anything on my mind, you, you're just cranky, okay, okay, come with me. ”

Since Lin Wei didn't want to say it, Li Huayong didn't continue to ask:

"Where are you going?"

"Accompany me shopping, can't you?"

This....From Li Huayong's heart, of course he doesn't want to go shopping, but since Lin Wei opened his mouth, "no" will definitely not be able to say. So in the next few days, Li Huayong had to do hard work, and he was dragged by Lin Wei to walk around the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang.

Causeway Bay, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui......

What made Li Huayong even more painful:

"I said Lotus, can you please stop me trying this dress again, I really don't know where you got the problem, I'm not a girl, what are you doing to buy so many clothes for me. ”

"No, you're going to put it on for me. ”

“……”

So a very tragic thing happened, in just 3 days, Li Huayong was transformed into a fashionable young man by Lin Wei. Of course, the fashionable youth of the eighties.

Li Huayong couldn't stand it a little, and on this day he found Lao Lu and asked Lao Lei when he would come back. Lao Lu smiled and persuaded Li Huayong not to worry, saying that Lao Lei would definitely come back before New Year's Day.

Li Huayong was a little speechless, because at this time, Christmas had not yet arrived.

On Christmas Eve, Lin Wei found Li Huayong again.

"Lotus, let's talk about it first, you can do anything today, but if you still go shopping, I'd rather die. ”

"I'm not shopping today, come with me. ”

"So where are we going today?"

"Repulse Bay. ”
