1. Li Huayong found Lu Yuquan, of course, for the sequelae of the Bank of China Building project. After talking about the situation of seeing Lao Lei yesterday, he finally said to Lao Lu:

"Lao Lu, you also know the situation in the mainland, whether it is the previous Kowloon construction or the current Lu Ji construction, if you want to develop here, then you must do a good job in the relationship with a unit like Huaxia Construction General, so this matter must be handled well. ”

Li Huayong said that he would not say it anymore, he believed that with Lu Yuquan's sophistication, it was easy to understand the meaning of his words. I remember that when "Kowloon Construction" had just been acquired, the Lu brothers ambitiously announced at the press conference that the newly established "Lu Kee Construction" would enter the mainland market. But is it really that easy for construction companies in other cities to make a living in the Chinese market? The answer is clear: it's definitely not that easy!

In fact, in real history, foreign architectural design firms have blossomed all over China, and almost all the world's well-known architectural design firms have gathered in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places. But if we only talk about construction, except for the early days of reform and opening up, Japanese construction companies can be seen, and a small number of Xiangjiang construction companies are begging for a living in China, construction companies in any other country and region are basically unable to gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market.

Why is this so? Is there a special protection policy for the construction market in China? Of course not. According to Li Huayong, many other countries and regions in the world have a lot of relevant protection policies, such as Xiangjiang, such as the United States, especially the United States, the construction industry protection policy is concentrated in the qualification review, that is, the "access system" often said, the "access system" of the American construction market is the most stringent in the world.

Compared with these countries and regions, China's construction industry certainly has its own "access system", but it is actually very relaxed.

The reason why the policy in this area is relaxed, of course, is not that the people who make the policy are lazy, you must know how smart the NDRC people are, they know that it doesn't matter if the policy is relaxed or strict, anyway, no matter how relaxed the policy, foreign construction companies will definitely not be the opponent of domestic construction units.

The reason why I dare to say this is because compared with some other industries, especially some emerging industries, the construction industry is relatively not high in technology, and it is often said to be a "labor-intensive" industry. In this way, it should be clear to everyone that as long as it is a "human" industry, our country has never been afraid.

Once talking about similar problems, many people simply think that this is simply because of China's cheap labor costs, including many so-called "brick family beasts", talking about "cheap labor" or "demographic dividend".

However, Li Huayong has always believed that this kind of formulation should be biased. Li Huayong believes that instead of saying "cheap labor" or "demographic dividend", it is more accurate to use the word "cost-effective" to explain.

Like many other manufacturing industries in China, the power of Chinese manufacturing ensures that once Chinese companies enter a certain industry, they can often wipe out most of the opportunities in an industry.

This kind of thing has happened many times in real history!

Quite a lot of manufacturing, unless the Chinese do not have the technology, as long as the Chinese enterprises once they obtain the relevant technology, the industry becomes a competition for production capacity. So in this kind of competition, China has basically never lost.

So what is the core of this? Li Huayong believes that it is "cost-effective". What China produces may not be the best, and of course all the things produced in China cannot be the cheapest, but considering various factors, you will find that what Chinese produce may be the most "cost-effective", which is the real reason why Made in China can dominate the world in later generations.

Taking the construction industry that Li Huayong is most familiar with as an example, Li Huayong certainly cannot say that Chinese construction workers have the best skills, and in later generations, there are more poor countries than China, so it cannot be said that Chinese workers are "cheap labor". However, all things considered, you will find that only the use of Chinese workers on the construction site is the most "cost-effective" choice. And this, in fact, is the real reason why Chinese architecture can sweep the world.

In his previous life, because of his work, Li Huayong often had the opportunity to communicate with foreign counterparts. In his previous life, he went to a South American country to bid for a bid, and happened to meet a few old acquaintances who often dealt with the international construction market, so they chatted.

Li Huayong remembers that at that time, a certain American think tank was concocting a "*****" article, which was sprinkled with hundreds of pages, and everyone's topic started there. Li Huayong said to his foreign counterparts:

"Do you think that the research institute of this American think tank is a little mentally retarded? What age is this, and we are still frying this kind of cold rice, and we are all well-informed people, tell me, do you believe that our country will invade others?"

Several colleagues laughed, and one of them from Europe said to Li Huayong with a smile: "Of course, what this article says about military affairs is nonsense, anyway, I don't believe that your country will invade others, and I think that most people in the world should have the same opinion as me, and do not think that your country will carry out military aggression against other countries." However, if you do not engage in military aggression, it does not mean that you are not aggressive Chinese, so ***** is actually still valid. ”

"Huh?"

Another local colleague explained to Li Huayong: "Li Gong, haven't you come to your senses? Your country's aggressiveness actually comes from people like you." For example, in this bidding, I believe that among all the people, you are the least popular. Because as soon as they see you, everyone will feel a deep threat. ”

Hearing this, Li Huayong's heart was very useful, but his mouth was fake: "Where and where, you are all leaders in the industry, which one is not experienced and has strong technical strength? ”

"Yes, we have a little more computing accumulation than you, but when I saw you, I actually wanted to give up this bid, I know that you have mastered this technology, but your cost control ability is ......," an American colleague said coldly to Li Huayong.

"We can control the cost as much as yours, but our technology is ......," a local colleague sighed.

"We have the technology, and the cost can be controlled, but the current workers in our country... Alas, compared to the workers of your country, there are not many young people in our country who are willing to endure hardships......." said a Japanese colleague with a sad face.

"In the past, I only served the Japanese to play the unspoken rules in the international construction market, but now.... Li Gong, you came to bid this time, the upper and lower joints should all be opened, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

After hearing these words, Li Huayong laughed heartily, and he didn't want to pretend anymore at that time, because he felt that all of these foreign colleagues were so reasonable.

"How is the current situation of the Bank of China Tower?"

After listening to Li Huayong's words, Lu Yuquan suddenly came up with such a sentence. Lao Lu has been in the mainland for a while, and he certainly knows how difficult it is for a Xiangjiang construction company to gain a foothold in the mainland. Due to the huge gap in labor costs between the two places, it cannot be considered at all in terms of "people", and there is no competitiveness in this aspect.

Therefore, if Lu Kee Construction wants to gain a foothold or even develop in the mainland, the only way to work is to take the road before the construction of Kowloon, and develop in the direction of mechanization and specialization, after all, the gap between the two places in terms of machinery costs is not large, so this is also an advantage of Heung Kong Construction Company.

However, one of the weaknesses of specialized companies is that it is difficult to obtain the general contracting rights of the project. In other words, if such a company wants to mix in the mainland, it usually needs someone to "take him to play".

Therefore, for Lu Ji Construction of the old Lu family, "Huaxia Jianzong" is a thick thigh, a thick thigh that Li Huayong needs.

"I heard it's okay. ”

Li Huayong told Lao Lu about the situation of the elder Liu that he heard from Lei Jianjun. Hearing that there was no mess in the Bank of China Building project, Lao Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's okay, didn't Huajian Ninth Bureau ask us to go to a meeting tomorrow, and after the meeting, I'll arrange this matter. ”

Lao Lu said "this matter", of course, it is how to repair the relationship with Lei Jianjun or Huajian Ninth Bureau. As for what Lu Yuquan was going to do, Li Huayong didn't ask in detail. He believes that with people like Lu Yuquan, there should be a way to deal with this kind of thing properly.

"That's okay, Uncle Quan, I came here today mainly to mention this matter to you, I'm going to go to the Futian construction site now, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, let's see you tomorrow." ”

"Futian? Is it the headquarters office building of Huajian Ninth Bureau, where are you going today?

"This ......"

Li Huayong had thought about going to Futian today last night, but he saw that Lao Lu seemed to have something else to say to himself:

"It's not a hurry, what's the matter, Uncle Quan or something else?"

"If you're not in a hurry, just come and sit down with me, I have something else to discuss with you. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"What else can I do, didn't you arrange a job for me a year ago, let me tell you about Rotten Blue and Scar Xiang. ”

"Oh. ”

Li Huayong said in his heart that he really thought of a piece. He thought about it for half the night yesterday, in fact, he was thinking about how to integrate resources, he has two big stalls, or two sets of people, one is mainly based on mainland workers such as Shi Weijun and Li Shuisheng, and the other is naturally Xiangjiang people such as Rotten Boy Blue and Scar Xiang. But these two sets of people are not currently affiliated with each other. Li Huayong thought that since the entire industry should not be very prosperous this year, he simply took this opportunity to integrate the resources in his hands.

In the words of a little routine, Li Huayong is ready to "practice his internal skills" and meet the bright future of the construction industry.

Li Huayong originally wanted to start with Shi Weijun and them, but since Lao Lu said so, let's listen to it first.
