Chapter 118: The Cornerstone
20, February 24.
In the village of Macaron, west of the town of Maragon East.
Wang Muyi and Julie's team, who were arranged to come for random inspection, are already in this village.
Macaron is not a natural village, but a new village that was forcibly merged, and this small village had a population of only 1,200 but now has a population of 5,377.
Carter, the president of the local cooperative, is a meticulous middle-aged man with a big back, and a young man in Wang Muyi's supervision team smiled and nodded to the other party.
In fact, both of them know each other's identities, and the soldiers do not need verbal communication between them, they only need to judge each other's identities through the pheromone breath on each other's bodies.
"President Carter, please take us to the staff dormitory!" Wang Muyi said directly.
Carter nodded: "OK, please come with me!" ”
Macaron Village can be basically divided into three areas, one is the old village area, one is the dormitory area, and the other is the work area.
Concrete roads have been paved inside the village, and due to the influx of people from other villages, it has become a small town-like community.
A young female supervisor asked in a low voice, "Is this the merger of villages and towns promoted by the company?" ”
Julie nodded: "Yes, this is to reduce the waste of resources, but also to improve the utilization of infrastructure." ”
At present, cooperatives in various places are merging villages and towns, and a standard cooperative has a starting population of more than 5,000.
On the one hand, it is to concentrate resources and improve the utilization rate of infrastructure.
On the other hand, it is to avoid the emergence of a large number of small villages, wasting the management manpower of the cooperative, and at the same time, it is also to destroy the small circle of clans and enhance the influence of the company in rural areas.
The structure of the cooperative has been continuously adjusted, and now it has formed a three-core model of president, manager and finance.
Among them, the president is usually a soldier, responsible for connecting with superiors, managing a part of personnel, training employees, managing the security team, supervising production and operation, and sometimes serving as a technician.
The manager is responsible for the economy and production, and the finance is responsible for payroll, subsidies, accounting, and fund management.
In fact, the president is the real core, after all, he is in charge of the security team.
According to the cooperative's internal regulations, the number of security teams is generally about 20~50 people, equipped with armored off-road vehicles, assault rifles, grenades, etc.
This kind of core position can naturally only be filled by soldiers, and other companies can't trust it.
As they walked, they observed their surroundings.
Entering the staff dormitory area surrounded by a wall, small buildings with 10 floors appeared in front of everyone.
"A total of 50 buildings with a total of 2,000 houses are planned here, and 20 have been completed so far, with a 100% occupancy rate."
Wang Muyi can only laugh dryly at this, these staff dormitories are indeed very well built.
The problem is that the company only rents and does not sell, although the rent is not high, only about 1 peso per square meter per month, but this is the company's industry after all.
Of course, the company is not unkind, as long as you can work for the company for 25 years, the company will sell you a house with an area of not more than 200 square meters at about 30% of the market price.
This kind of commitment at the level of decades makes Wang Muyi feel a little unreliable.
In the event that the company goes bankrupt in the future, who will the employee turn to to honor the contract?
However, this is also a matter of no way at present, after all, employees have no way to make a large amount of cash at once, so they can only live in the low-rent housing provided by the company.
Julie casually pointed to a house: "President Carter, it's 302 in this building." ”
"No problem." Carter led them up to 302 in this building, and when he opened the door, the inside was already renovated.
The floor is made of wood-grain bricks, the walls are scraped white, the counters are all made of bamboo-reinforced concrete, and then the wood-grain bricks are pasted, and the ceiling is not hung by hanging boards, which is directly a simple wind of white.
The furniture is also very simple, that is, the iron bamboo wooden chair and the iron and bamboo synthetic table and bed donated by the company.
Wang Muyi knows very well that these things are to implement a purpose, reduce costs as much as possible, and use things produced by his own company.
Considering the excessive formaldehyde and maintenance problems of plywood, Coral Construction Company does not use materials such as plywood at all.
"Team Leader Julie, let's start surveying and sampling!" Wang Muyi opened his mouth and said.
Julie nodded: "Yes, let's get started!" ”
Because Luzon is a plate junction zone, it has many volcanic earthquakes, and it has a tropical monsoon climate, and typhoons are frequent.
Therefore, the houses here have certain requirements in terms of earthquake resistance, fire prevention, typhoon protection, and lightning protection.
Coral Construction saved money in other areas, but instead of saving money on disaster prevention design, it added a lot of money.
For example, in order to resist earthquakes, the underground of this community is integrated, and the underground composite beams connected together are poured with concrete through composite bamboo bars and steel bars.
The house is completely separated from the foundation, and there are no connecting components.
In terms of the houses on the ground, they are all designed with four square fortresses in a conjoined area, which enhances the overall stability of the house and avoids the appearance of overly slender buildings.
These are designed to be shockproof.
Once an earthquake occurs nearby, the propagation of seismic waves in the solid will definitely affect the foundation, and even tear the foundation, but the ground house with integrated design, because of the separation design from the foundation, will only cause the house to tilt, collapse, etc., and will not collapse inside the building, but only crack part of the wall of the house.
This design can withstand earthquakes of up to magnitude 8 and still maintain the structural integrity of the buildings on the ground in the event of a magnitude 9 earthquake.
Wang Muyi's team is responsible for testing the seismic performance of the house, which mainly uses physical flaw detection equipment to test the integrity, density, approximate material composition, material distribution and thickness of the wall column.
Julie's team tested fire protection, noise, formaldehyde, electrical wiring and plumbing first.
They are very serious about these inspection work, after all, it is related to their own income, and the company will send other supervision teams to randomly review the second time in the future, which is perfunctory, which is a joke about their future.
After a busy afternoon, watching the sun set outside the window.
Julie closed the window and patted her sore neck again: "It's detected here today." ”
"Well, to go back to Maragondon in the evening? Or will I stop here? Wang Muyi sat on the hard chair.
"Here it is! Let President Carter arrange a few rooms. ”
Wang Muyi picked up his mobile phone and sent Carter his thoughts through the internal communication software, and Carter quickly arranged it for them.
After all, the office building of the cooperative has a reception room, and next door is the cooperative's large canteen, so eating and drinking are not a problem.
Wang Muyi and others are also accustomed to this kind of life of running around everywhere.
Take a stroll in the warm sunset.
Out of the dormitory, there are many villagers walking on the village road, and not far away is the field where the rice has just been harvested.
Carter, on the other hand, was in a cucumber field, with a few technicians repairing the spraying pipes, and as the soldiers in charge of the countryside, they were actually all-rounders.
With the knowledge stored in the biochip, these soldiers will not only be able to farm scientifically, but also engage in soil and chemical fertilizer, scientific breeding, feed allocation, prevention and control of livestock diseases, maintenance of agricultural machinery, deep processing of agricultural products, and finally be able to fight.
These talents are the cornerstone of Homo sapiens.
Carter can serve the public in the Macaron Village cooperative, which is done with hard power, and even the manager can only regain a little presence in business.
In addition, the benefits of merging villages and towns have also strengthened Carter's management effectiveness.
After all, the villagers are not from one village, so it is not easy to put them together.
In addition, the cooperative's employee contract is very binding, which gives the president a very large power, if it were not for the soldiers in charge of this position, the company would not dare to delegate power so much.
Carter saw Julie and the others passing by, and just nodded, and continued to bury his head in his maintenance work.
Wang Muyi is also used to the maverick employees in the company, similar to Carter, who basically don't give face to anyone.
According to the gossip that flowed out of the company's upper echelons, these people were called "cornerstones" by Chairman Zhang Jack.
Therefore, people like Carter, often referred to as the cornerstone faction, together with the family faction and the Chinese faction, form the three factions within the current Homo sapiens company.
Thank you for your support (ω'), thank you for the reward of "knocking down Chen Yichang" and "book friend 20220913025414498".
