Chapter 11 Ito Construction
In the next few days, Li Huayong was busy and happy.
Of course, Li Huayong has a reason to be happy, not everyone will see this kind of thing as a jackpot.
In his previous life, Li Huayong also liked to read YY novels, and after reading this kind of novel, "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" would occasionally YY: If this kind of thing happened to him, what should he do?
To be honest, Li Huayong didn't think deeply about this problem, if "crossing" is the ultimate dream of many people who are not satisfied, then as a middle-aged man who has a successful career, a happy family, and does not have much ambition, he is not very willing to "cross" This kind of thing happens to him.
"What a waste of a good crossing place... ”
This is the feeling that Li Huayong felt when he was alone after the real crossing. Especially knowing that he was still possessing a migrant worker, Li Huayong's emotion was mixed with a sense of grief and indignation.
In his previous life, Li Huayong had always been engaged in the construction industry, and Li Huayong could swear that he did not mean to look down on migrant workers. The development of the whole country for decades, the so-called "demographic dividend", the so-called "Chinese miracle". No matter how fanciful those brick beasts blow, one of the basic facts: a large part of this social wealth is created by these migrant worker brothers. It is the efforts of these amiable and lovely migrant worker brothers that have turned the face of the whole country upside down.
But then again, although Li Huayong is now a migrant worker, he never wants to be a migrant worker forever.
Li Huayong also doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, and he doesn't feel that he is a hypocritical person---- "people go to high places" is human nature. I believe that any real migrant worker has the idea that Li Huayong has now, let alone him, a fake migrant worker.
Because of this trip to Shekou, because of getting acquainted with Lei Jianjun. In order to thank Li Huayong for his help----, and perhaps because he realized that Li Huayong was unusual, Lei Jianjun promised Li Huayong: No matter how many people they brought from the construction site of "Pengcheng World Trade Center", then after arriving at the new construction site, these people will take Li Huayong as the head.
In other words, after arriving at the new construction site, the project department only recognized Li Huayong alone.
So Li Huayong is happy, this is... Although it is not so formal, the former "Deputy Chief Engineer Li" is ready to be a small package foreman with more than 50 workers to work?
Li Huayong's busyness also started because of this:
"Uncle, you take a few carpenters to process some formwork with a width of about 1 meter with a curvature... Yes, this should be used when digging piles, although it is digging soil, but it needs to be supported, and these templates play this role. . . ”
“。。。 Pillar, you take some people to the market to see, buy some hemp rope and kegs back... What? What's the use of asking this? Nonsense, of course, that's for digging the soil, think about it, how do you take out the soil under such a deep pile? Of course, you can only use this method to fill out buckets and buckets... ”
In addition to directing everyone to prepare for construction, Li Huayong also had a task to increase contact with Lei Jianjun and them.
The mechanical bored pile was changed to a manual digging pile, which was thought of, but as an old construction Li Huayong knew that this change was not something that could be done. For a construction project, this falls under the category of design changes. Lei Jianjun said a few days ago that he would wait a few days for this kind of meaning, the construction party has the right to propose this change, but has no right to decide this plan, which needs to be decided by the designer of the project, and then the owner, design, supervision, and construction all sign and pledge, and finally can be implemented.
However, these did not affect Li Huayong's motivation, and he still made various construction preparations in an orderly manner. With Li Huayong's experience, such a design change is normal, it is the most simple design change that does not involve other factors, and it is also a more reasonable design change, so Li Huayong can't think of any reason why it can't be passed.
Just when Li Huayong was dreaming of a small contract foreman, an accident really appeared.
On this day, Li Huayong came to Shekou again, ready to ask when he would be able to enter the site to work.
"What! Xia Gong, you said that the design change was not passed?
The "Xia Gong" in Li Huayong's mouth is Xia Minghuan, the chief engineer of this project, and the design change belongs to the technical category, and it is Xia Minghuan who is currently operating this matter. In the past few days, Li Huayong has been running diligently here, and he is already very familiar with the management personnel here.
"What about the reasons, what are the reasons for their refusal?"
It was Lei Jianjun who asked this, in fact, when Li Huayong came in, Xia Minghuan happened to be reporting this matter to Lei Jianjun.
"They didn't say a specific reason ... Xia Minghuan smiled bitterly and handed Lei Jianjun something like an official letter: "... This is their reply, Manager Lei, you can see for yourself. ”
While Lei Jianjun was watching, Li Huayong also came up.
"The reasons for the design change proposed by the construction party are not sufficient, and the designer refuses to accept it. ”
A simple and single sentence made Li Huayong confused, and said in his heart which design institute is this?
Li Huayong read all the way down the official letter, and when he saw the final payment and saw a familiar name, Li Huayong suddenly realized.
"Japan Ito Corporation"!
The designer of this project is actually the famous "Ito Construction" in Japan.
"Old friend... ”
Li Huayong sighed in his heart, if it was this Japanese design institute, then all the confusion in Li Huayong's heart would be solved.
Before Li Huayong crossed, if someone asked him such a question: Is China a construction power?
Li Huayong will not hesitate, be very confident, very proud, and answer loudly:
Yes, of course, China is certainly a building powerhouse!
China is not only a building power, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even the most powerful country in the world.
After entering the new century, especially in the last 10 years, if the top 10 projects are selected around the world every year, China will be able to account for at least 6 to 7, and the other 1 to 2 may appear in those tyrant countries in the Middle East, and the remaining places will be divided among other countries.
Not only that, but at least nine of the top 10 projects have Chinese elements, either with the participation of Chinese engineers and workers, or with Chinese-made construction equipment, or with Chinese-made building materials.
In short, in the great projects of later generations, if there is no Chinese factor, this is absolutely unthinkable.
This is the status of Chinese architecture, and it is also the pride of Chinese architects.
In this world, is there a project that the Chinese can't do? This question is too absolute, so Li Huayong does not dare to pack the ticket. But on another issue, Li Huayong can play a full package:
If there is a project in this world that the Chinese cannot do, then no other country can do it either.
If someone asks Li Huayong again: Is Japan a building power? Li Huayong will be quite entangled in this question, and although he is not very willing, although he is not very willing, Li Huayong must honestly admit it:
Japan is also considered an architectural powerhouse.
The Chinese construction industry is inextricably linked with the Japanese construction industry.
Ancient architecture aside, there is no doubt that China is the true teacher of Japan in ancient architecture. It's just that in modern times, in modern architecture, for a long time, Japanese architecture was the teacher of the Chinese construction industry.
From elementary school students in the Japanese construction industry, to their competitors, until finally completing the transcendence... This is the development experience of Chinese architecture for decades, and this is the history of the development and growth of China's construction industry.
"Ito Construction... Li Huayong sighed in his heart again.
In his previous life, Li Huayong worked in the construction industry as soon as he joined the workforce, and participated in many overseas projects. Among the projects that Li Huayong has participated in, overseas projects even account for more than half.
Since Japanese architecture is the most direct competitor of Chinese architecture overseas, Li Huayong has a better understanding of Japanese architecture. Especially in front of him, "Ito Construction", as Japan's largest construction group, Li Huayong has dealt with them in many overseas projects, so he can be said to be very familiar.
So what is the origin of this "Ito Construction"?
Many people know that the Japanese economy is a so-called "zaibatsu economy". In their country, there are many giant conglomerates, such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and so on. In later generations, especially in the Internet era, many Chinese people are familiar with these names.
The "Ito Foundation" is also a super chaebol in Japan.
The strength of this chaebol is not at all more than the other three.
So why is this chaebol so little known? This is mainly related to the scope of this chaebol's business.
As you know, the so-called chaebol must be a variety of operations, basically doing everything. But then again, no matter how big the chaebol is, they certainly have their own business priorities. Nowhere is this more evident than in Japan's chaebols.
Taking these large Japanese conglomerates as an example, Mitsubishi's focus is on Japan's heavy industry, Mitsui's strength lies in Japan's electronics industry, and Sumitomo's strength lies in banking and light industry.
And what about the "Ito Foundation"? Their strength is resources!
Japan is an island nation that lacks resources at home, and the Ito Zaibatsu's specialty is to find resources for them overseas.
Knowing this situation, everyone should know why this chaebol is so low-key, right?
To paraphrase a domestic term, the "Ito Zaibatsu" is specifically engaged in an "export-oriented economy" for Japan. Such a chaebol, of course, they don't need to be high-profile, too high-profile will be bad.
In fact, after our country opened its doors, the first Japanese companies to enter the domestic market basically belonged to the "Ito Foundation". For example, this "Ito Construction", for example, many, many others...
Li Huayong also knows one thing: Due to the complicated relations between China and Japan, most of Japan's big chaebols do not have a very friendly attitude toward China, but the "Ito zaibatsu" seems to be an exception; although it cannot be said that they are really friendly, they are the tallest among the short, and among the several major chaebols in Japan, the "Ito zaibatsu" is a relatively well-known "pro-China faction."
Why would a "pro-China" Japanese company put obstacles in the way of such a simple design change?
Li Huayong fell into thought again.
