The time came around 8:30 p.m., and the room continued to be silent.

The current situation is very clear, Li Huayong's silence is because he is unwilling, and Lei Jianjun's silence is because they feel that in the face of such a great hero, the project department is really embarrassed to give such a price.

But this is also a matter of no way, "Huaxia Construction General" is a state-owned enterprise, the price of 30 yuan per meter is already the limit of the project department's quotation, and if you want to go up, it is something that even Lei Jianjun may not be able to do.

There is no way to give more, and I feel a little embarrassed, but the young man sitting opposite still refuses to speak, there is no way, it can only be like this all the time.

"Ahem, I think so... ”

The person who broke the deadlock finally appeared, and it was actually Xia Minghuan, the chief engineer of the project, so when he spoke, everyone's eyes were on him.

Xia Minghuan glanced at Li Huayong, who was sitting opposite, and said to Lei Jianjun:

"This, this... Manager Lei, I think we have all seen the level and ability of Xiao Li's management site, so I have an idea, don't you see that there are still dozens of workers on our side? ”

As soon as Xia Minghuan's opinion was spoken, it was immediately supported by everyone.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Li's management level... That's not a cover, connoisseur... Minister of Engineering Deng Chaoqun took the lead in expressing support.

"Okay, this idea is good, this method is good... Zhang Yongping, the business manager, quickly agreed.

Lei Jianjun looked at Li Huayong with a smile: "Xiao Li, what do you see?"

This is actually a gesture of goodwill to Li Huayong. At the beginning of the contact, Li Huayong proposed that only more than 50 workers could be brought over from the "Pengcheng World Trade Center", and the other workers could only be solved by the project department here. This part of the workers originally had nothing to do with Li Huayong, but now it is proposed that these people should also be managed by Li Huayong, which is equivalent to expanding Li Huayong's team and contracting all the business of manually digging piles for the entire project.

Li Huayong smiled bitterly. He is naturally well aware of the goodwill released by the project department. But to be honest, just to this extent, this cannot meet Li Huayong's psychological expectations. If calculated according to the unit price of 30 yuan per meter, the total output value of all manually dug piles in this project is only 240,000 yuan.

"What should I do?" Li Huayong groaned again.

However, Li Huayong didn't think about it for long this time, firstly, people were still waiting for his reply, and secondly, "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" was also from a large central enterprise, he understood Lei Jianjun's difficulties, and knew that it was not easy for the project department to give such a unit price, which had almost reached their limit. If we continue to dwell on the issue of unit price, the project department may give in, but it will never make too many concessions.

And once the project department gives in, then the friendship formed in front and the good fate that fell in front can all be put in, which is not beautiful.

"Since the leader thinks so highly of me, if I don't agree again, I don't know how to lift, but, Manager Lei... ”

Li Huayong finally spoke, and he first used this way to accept the goodwill released by the project department. However, when he said "but", Lei Jianjun and they all knew that Li Huayong was ready to put forward conditions, so they all pricked up their ears to listen, and Lei Jianjun even encouraged:

"You say, you say. ”

"Since everyone is willing to hand over the workers to me, then just don't do it twice, can the leaders consider handing over the work of beating concrete to me as well?"

Since he can't fight for the price, he should simply change his mind and strive to do more work on this construction site and make profits elsewhere.

"The work of beating concrete... ”

Several people in the room looked at each other, and finally Lei Jianjun said with a sad face:

"Xiao Li is not that I don't want to promise you, but you should know that the work at the front desk when pouring the pile foundation is generally done by the drilling rig, and the work at the front desk is not good for us to arrange forcibly, if it is the backstage... ”

"I know, I mean backstage work. Li Huayong said with a smile.

There are "front desk" and "back stage" for pouring concrete in construction. The so-called "backstage" is actually the concrete batching plant, and all the work that needs to be done here is collectively referred to as "backstage work". Correspondingly, it is naturally the "work of the front desk". For example, at this construction site, when a pile is dug and meets the design requirements, it can be said to be completed, and only when the concrete is poured can it be considered completed.

When the concrete comes out of the mixing plant, it is transported to the edge of the pile foundation and poured to begin pouring, and the subsequent process is the "work of the front desk".

Compared with ordinary concrete pouring, pouring pile foundation concrete is relatively complex. Because before pouring, the pile foundation often contains a large amount of mud water, which is called "underwater pouring" in architecture, and "underwater pouring" requires the cooperation of a drilling rig, such as a casing or something.

The reason why Lei Jianjun did not dare to agree is here, although the front desk pouring also needs labor and requires a large number of manpower, but the labor still plays an auxiliary role, and the key to the front desk pouring is still the drilling rig. Therefore, when signing this kind of pile foundation construction contract, the "front desk work" is often contracted to the drilling rig team.

"If it's just backstage, then it's no problem, okay, Xiao Li, then we'll just say it. ”

Hearing that Li Huayong only made such a simple request, Lei Jianjun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. At present, there is no large-scale commercial concrete batching plant in Pengcheng, so the batching plant is built by the project department. In later generations, almost all large mixing plants were automated. Loading and discharging are basically computer-controlled, and there is no need for many workers at all.

However, in this era, the degree of automation of the mixing plant is not so high. Not to mention anything else, even bulk cement has not appeared on a large scale in these years, and the cement from all cement plants is basically bagged.

The so-called "backstage work" actually requires workers to tear apart bags of cement and then send it to a mixer for mixing. This kind of work is not only hard, but also very dirty. After doing this kind of work for a day, it is particularly uncomfortable to be covered in mud and sweat. It's just hard and dirty, and the price is very low because it has no technical content. In Lei Jianjun's view, work like this is nothing compared to manually digging piles.

In fact, in real construction sites, "putting cement" is lower than "moving bricks".

To tell the truth, since Xia Minghuan has already proposed to hand over all the workers to Li Huayong for management, even if Li Huayong himself does not mention it, Lei Jianjun is ready to find a suitable time to hand over such dirty work to Li Huayong.

But now it is Li Huayong himself who takes the initiative...

Lei Jianjun glanced at Li Huayong vigilantly: "Xiao Li, you know, although the backstage work is hard, the price is not high, and this kind of life is almost the same anywhere, and it is impossible for me to take care of you alone in this place... ”

"I don't have any special requirements for the price, just go with the market, what price is in other places, what salary do you give me... ”

Li Huayong smiled and said to Lei Jianjun:

"Manager Lei, I just want to say, if you leave the backstage work to me, if I can help you save materials, can you share with me in the material saving part?"

"What? ”

In building construction, cutting corners is a common thing, and the most typical, safest, and most common way to cut corners is actually in concrete construction.

What is concrete made of?, sand, stone, cement. Which of the three is the most expensive? And that's cement, of course. Therefore, in concrete construction, especially now this kind of manual feeding, as long as a few bags of cement are put each time, it is easy to achieve the purpose of cutting corners.

Lei Jianjun is an old builder, so as soon as he heard Li Huayong talk about "saving", he quickly thought about it.

"Hehe, Manager Lei, you misunderstood, I know very well what the significance of this project is, this is an international cooperation project, this is also the first time you have come to Pengcheng to do a project, I can't do anything to disgrace Huaxia Construction, and I don't dare to do it. Don't worry, I can tell you that I will not cut corners. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, you can send someone to supervise at any time, and I can promise here, as long as you find out that my Xiao Li is cutting corners, then you will be punished once you find it, and if you find it three times, then I Xiao Li won't want a penny of wages." Of course, if in this case, I can still help the project department save materials, whether the project department can give me a share, my requirements are not high, five or five points to achieve the line. ”

Lei Jianjun looked at Li Huayong in confusion.

Li Huayong looked at Lei Jianjun confidently.

"Okay! Just according to what you said, if you Xiao Li can really do it, five or five points will be five or five points. ”

Li Huayong smiled: "Thank you." ”

Lei Jianjun turned his head to Zhang Yongping and commanded:

"Manager Zhang, go and redraft a contract, and then sign the agreement with Xiao Li. ”
