Chapter 627: Drive High and Go Low
After two or three months of delay from the scheduled time, the pension project invested by Changda Holding Company in Huayuan City finally started construction, which is the first pension institution that Guan Yuntian plans to build in the prefecture-level city outside the provincial capital, and has a model demonstration role.
According to the research results of the Municipal Association on Aging, through expert argumentation, it was decided to set the scale of the pension project at 20,000 beds in Huayuan City, which has a permanent population of less than 1 million.
Judging from the number of permanent residents and the scale of pension institutions, compared with the situation in the provincial capital, the scale of this project in Huayuan City seems to be a bit large. However, in the provincial capital, in addition to the pension project of Changda Group, there are other units that are also engaged in the pension industry, but the scale is generally small and scattered.
Nevertheless, if the demand for the pension market in the provincial capital is strong, on the basis of the scale of the original plan, Changda Holdings can expand the scale of the pension institution in the provincial capital at any time.
The situation of Huayuan City is very different from that of the provincial capital, as a prefecture-level city, the growth potential of the permanent population and the pension market is limited, according to Guan Yuntian's idea, the project here should have a certain surplus in the scale of construction, even if it is another ten or eight years, there will not be enough beds.
"But this may result in some of the investments not yielding any benefits in the early stages of the project. When the board discussed the matter, a board member reminded.
"Are you afraid that the scale of construction is large enough and the market is smaller than expected, wasting fixed asset investment? I have already considered this problem and can solve it by design. ”
Originally, when communicating with the design department, Guan Yuntian asked the building to be designed into a number of units that can be easily partitioned, in the process of operation of the pension institution, according to the market needs to increase or decrease the number of rooms where the pension staff live, the vacant building is separated from the pension institution, as a commercial building for rent, such an ingenious way, can maximize the investment income, effectively reduce the operating costs of the pension project.
There is no doubt that this is an effective measure to reduce investment risks, however, after the project is completed and put into operation, it is precisely on this issue that the company is in big trouble.
Because of the rich experience in project construction and operation management, the pension project in Huayuan City was put into operation after half a year according to the planned schedule, and the opinion of President Xie was solicited to name the pension project "Huayuan City Elderly Service Center".
Unsurprisingly, due to various reasons, the occupancy rate of the elderly care service center was only 55% in the first month of operation, and even if publicity and marketing efforts are increased, by the end of the second month, the occupancy rate is only 60%.
This situation is not surprising, because when determining the scale of the project, it has been expected that the market in the early stage of the project's operation may not be ideal, and in order to reduce the investment risk, Guan Yuntian asked the design unit to carry out special treatment in the building structure.
In accordance with Guan Yuntian's countermeasures, the management of the elderly service center took decisive measures to isolate the vacant parts of the building and advertise it for rent in the local media. Because of the convenient transportation and good terrain, the vacant part of the building was rented by three units in less than a week, and Guan Yuntian was quite relieved to know that all this was exactly what he expected, and the vacant buildings were effectively used, and there was no waste of investment.
Half a month later, at about three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Guan Yuntian was handling official business in his own office at the headquarters of Changda Group, when the landline phone on the desk rang a rapid ringtone, and he picked it up.
"Hello! This is Changda Group, who are you looking for?"
"Hello Mr. Guan! I am Xiao Jiao of Huayuan City Elderly Service Center, and I have something to report to you. The other party said eagerly.
"Xiao Jiao? Oh, Manager Jiao, what's the matter? ”
"The inspectors of the Municipal Construction Committee came to my office and sent a penalty notice
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The fine was two million! They just left. ”
"For what reason, you will be fined two million?" Guan Yuntian suddenly became angry.
"I can't say a few words clearly, Mr. Guan, wait a minute, I'll fax this penalty notice to you. ”
"Okay, you manage the pension service center well, and I'll handle the rest. ”
A few minutes later, the automatic fax receiving equipment received a three-page fax, Guan Yuntian took it, sat on the chair and read it carefully from beginning to end, he was very shocked, "Yo! There is still such a thing?" The penalty notice on the fax was signed by the Inspection Department of the Municipal Construction Commission.
The reason for the punishment was that the Huayuan City Senior Service Center had changed the use of the building without authorization.
This is not a trivial matter, the Huayuan City Senior Citizen Center built by Changda Holding Company with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan has just been put into operation, and it has not earned a penny, but it has been hit head-on, how will the days to come? Guan Yuntian grabbed the phone and dialed a series of numbers, and after the phone was connected, he said directly: "President Xie, I will send you a fax to the past, please take a look." ”
Lao Xie was stunned for a moment, "Oh, send it over." With that, both sides hung up the phone.
After more than ten minutes, the phone in front of Guan Yuntian rang, he picked it up, only to hear Lao Xie on the other end of the phone say puzzledly: "Because you change the use of the building without authorization, you will be fined 2 million?
"Who knows? I also think it's a bit of a fuss, are they looking at someone who is not pleasing to the eye?" Guan Yuntian said angrily.
"Don't be angry, don't pay attention to them, I'll find someone to inquire. ”
Although he is not familiar with the people of the Construction Committee, Lao Xie has been immersed in the officialdom of Huayuan City for many years after all, and it is no problem to find a friend to inquire about some situations.
After some roundabouts, Lao Xie's friend finally inquired about the actual situation, "Changing the use of the building without authorization does violate the regulations, but the general penalty is a fine of 100,000 yuan, and the inspection department issued a fine of 2 million, which is really incredible, but there may be hidden secrets." ”
"As far as you know, what's in there?"
According to what I heard, it is said that before the construction of the senior center, someone had approached the leader of the investor and wanted to help his friend contract the construction project of the senior center, but it seemed that he was refused, and the person who came forward to help his friend contract the project was the deputy director of the Municipal Construction Committee in charge of inspection. ”
Lao Xie was very surprised, "There is such a thing! What do you think is the truth of these situations? How much water is there?"
"My friend is honest and reliable, and I don't think he should make up stories because there's no need for that. ”
"Well, I see, take the time to invite you to dinner with your friends. ”
After ending the call with his friend, Lao Xie dialed Guan Yuntian's phone again, and he asked bluntly: "Mr. Guan, before the construction of the pension project began, did anyone ask you to contract the construction project?"
"At that time, there was more than one person who asked me to contract the project, I don't know which one you are referring to?"
"The surname of the Municipal Construction Committee is Qian. ”
Guan Yuntian thought for a while, "There is a surname Qian, but he didn't interview me, but said it on the phone, I remember that he called me twice, and the person spoke a little impulsively, giving me the feeling that this project should be given to him as a matter of course." ”
"So, you must have refused his request?"
"Of course, even if he speaks with a good attitude, it is impossible to give him the project directly, because all our construction projects are confirmed by bidding and bidding, and he cannot be excluded. ”
"Ouch, do you know who that surname Qian is?"
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
"He is the deputy director in charge of inspection of the Construction Committee! It seems that this person is a little bit

Hold a grudge!"
Guan Yuntian has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, so he won't be in a hurry with this kind of thing, "He wants to hold a grudge, I can't help it, now that things have happened, I can only find a way to deal with it, old leader, in your opinion, what do you think should be done?"
"Why don't you make an appointment with Lao Qian, meet with him, and see what he thinks?"
"It's okay, but we don't know him, and if we call to make an appointment, they will definitely not give face. You are an old leader in the city, you still have a position in the municipal association, and you are also the president of the association for the elderly. ”
"Who knows, maybe about the same, I'll try. ”
When Lao Xie dialed the phone of Deputy Director Qian of the Municipal Construction Committee and explained his intentions, Lao Qian expressed enough respect for Lao Xie on the surface, but when it came to meeting with the leaders of Changda Holding Company, Lao Qian refused, "Old leaders, I am not familiar with them, there is no need to meet." ”
"Director Qian, the Huayuan City Senior Service Center is a project introduced by our senior association, I heard that they have been punished for changing the use of the building, do you see if you can raise your hand high, can you reduce the penalty?" Lao Xie said bluntly.
"Old leader, what I did wrong at work, although you criticize it, but I am afraid that it is serious. Don't embarrass me, the inspection department acts in accordance with laws and regulations, don't look at me as being in charge of the inspection department, and I don't have the right to dictate the work of grassroots units!" Lao Qian not only refused Lao Xie's invitation, but also blocked the other party's mouth.
Because he couldn't continue talking, Lao Xie had to hang up the phone stupidly, although he was dismissed, he also had to report to Guan Yuntian truthfully, "I contacted Lao Qian, but he refused my invitation and didn't want to go to the appointment." ”
Guan Yuntian was not surprised by such a result, he thought that since Lao Qian deliberately found fault because of the failure to contract the project, it was not a problem that could be solved by meeting and having a meal, "President Xie, you have done your best, let's wait and see what they do next." ”
"Mr. Guan, this is obviously an act of revenge, why don't you go through the legal process and apply for administrative reconsideration?" Lao Xie suggested.
"Well, this is also a solution, but" Guan Yuntian thought for a while, "unless you have to, try not to go to court." ”
Guan Yuntian knows very well that the Huayuan Senior Service Center has indeed violated the relevant regulations by changing the use of the branch building, but the fine of 2 million is obviously unreasonable, and if the administrative reconsideration is applied for through legal channels, the fine higher than the normal range may be corrected, but the fine stipulated in the penalty regulations is not a single point.
Once the court is in court, because there is no sufficient evidence, you can't do anything about the old money, but you must tear your face with the relevant functional departments, after all, the elderly service center invested by Changda Holding Company has been built and put into operation, everyone is in the same city, if the city is full of storms, it will be difficult to talk in the future.
There is no doubt that this incident made Guan Yuntian feel very angry, it was originally a set of plans designed to reduce operating costs, but now it has become the main reason for the punishment, even if the inspection department of the construction committee handles it in accordance with the normal procedures, it is very unjust to be fined 100,000 yuan, because the scale of construction of the elderly service center was approved by the relevant departments.
According to the inspection department, the vacant buildings of the elderly service center can be idle, but they cannot be used for commercial rental, otherwise it is a violation.
Guan Yuntian believes that this matter must be properly handled, and if there is really no other way, he can only apply for administrative reconsideration in the end, and the best result is to remove the unreasonable fines, but after paying the normal fines, can the vacant buildings of the elderly service center continue to be rented? If the fine is paid and the tenants cannot be rented to the outside world, the loss inside and outside will be great!
The pension project in Huayuan City can be described as high and low, and it is very smooth in the preparation and construction stage, so that Guan Yuntian did not expect that after it was put into operation, there was such a big trouble.
