Chapter 33: Fighting in the Open and in the Dark (2)
Despite this, after all, it is still within the warranty period, according to the terms of after-sales service, the manufacturer still sent someone to check, and after testing, in addition to the sensor is some rust, no other problems were found. This does not need to be explained at all, this situation is because June, seven, eight and three months belong to the rainy season, there is a lot of rainfall, there is water under the weighbridge, coupled with the hot weather, the water evaporation produces a lot of moisture, so that the sensor is in a high humidity environment, resulting in the probe being corroded, its sensitivity is bound to be reduced, and the weighing results are naturally inaccurate.
found the problem, Lao Wu was relieved, but Zhou Fushan didn't do it, let Lao Wu explain, Lao Zhou only said one sentence, if the weighbridge was installed above the ground according to his plan, there would never be such a problem.
Zhou Fushan said reasonable, but Lao Wu did point back, this year's six, seven, eight and three months, the local rain is more than sixty percent of the normal year, the drainage pipe that was originally thick enough, under the attack of the rainstorm at both ends of the three days, sometimes it seems too fine, resulting in poor drainage, water accumulation at the bottom of the weighbridge, water vapor evaporation is nothing, and even the sensor probe is soaked in the water, it is entirely possible. If so, the sensor fails and the weighbridge is not weighed accurately, it is not the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.
Because Lao Wu was in charge of this matter, Zhou Fushan kept beating Lao Wu on every possible occasion.
Guarding the ready-made equipment can not be used, but the goods in and out have to spend money to go to other units to weigh them, not only the leaders think it is awkward, but the staff also feel very inconvenient. After the Spring Festival, Zhou Fushan proposed to Guan Yuntian to rebuild the weighbridge according to his plan.
Guan Yuntian didn't want to ask about such a trivial matter, but after Lao Wu's toss last time, he agreed to the old father-in-law's suggestion and asked him to implement it as soon as possible, without asking Lao Wu's opinion. So, Lao Zhou found his friend's construction team to dismantle the weighbridge, then fill the original place with reinforced concrete, and finally install the weighbridge on the ground. Although Lao Wu also put forward his own opinions in the process, Zhou Fushan didn't listen to a word.
Lao Wu and Zhou Fushan are fighting for each other, and they don't give in to each other, to put it bluntly, it's not for the little power of the brick factory, because this power can always be converted into benefits. Even Lao Zhou's supervision of Lao Wu was to limit Lao Wu's power.
Zhou Fushan and Lao Wu are both big smokers, and they have to smoke at least one pack of cigarettes a day. Once, Lao Zhou had a private chat with a colleague who worked in the logistics department of a brick factory, and when he mentioned Lao Wu, he asked the colleague to pay attention to a phenomenon.
"What phenomenon?" asked the colleague.
"You pay attention to what kind of cigarettes Lao Wu usually smokes, and then look at what kind of cigarettes he smokes if the brick factory has a construction project that Lao Wu and their production department are responsible for. Lao Zhou reminded.
"What, is there any difference?"
Lao Zhou smiled, "You observe first, and you will naturally understand." ”
This colleague is an ordinary employee in the office of the brick factory, although he does not have much contact with the leaders, he works in the same place, and he does not look up and down every day, so he is very familiar with Zhou Fushan and Lao Wu. He didn't care about the situation that Lao Zhou said before, but after a period of observation, he felt that the situation mentioned by Lao Zhou was really not made up out of thin air.
Although Lao Wu is a brick factory executive, after all, he is still a salaryman, to put it bluntly, he is also a part-time worker, and the salary is higher at most, this colleague found that Lao Wu usually smokes only about ten yuan of the grade, and the brick factory has maintained a few brick kilns in recent times, and there are more civil works, so Lao Wu naturally has to be responsible for this matter, and the recent Lao Wu has smoked a pack of cigarettes for twenty or thirty yuan.
This colleague talked to a friend from the finance department of the brick factory about this interesting phenomenon, but the colleague from the finance department laughed, "Did you just find out? The two of them are half a pound and a half, Lao Wu is like this, and Lao Zhou is not much better! I don't believe you can observe Lao Zhou again and see how he behaves. I dare to assure you, you will definitely be able to observe the same phenomenon in Lao Zhou, or they will fight all day long, openly and secretly, what are you trying to do?"
"What's the matter? Are they just making a small profit for this?"
"Do you think that the purpose of their rush to take charge of things is to do more work for the boss? Don't look at the two of them, one is the manager of the brick factory who was pulled up by Mr. Guan, and the other is the father-in-law of Mr. Guan, just the two of them? It's not that I look down on them, I don't think they have that quality, let alone have that kind of realm. In fact, I have known for a long time that no matter which of the two of them is responsible for the project or project in the brick factory, they will all pluck the goose, and any supplier or construction team will have to send a few cigarettes and a few drinks to honor them. Even if the other party keeps the price very low, they will take the initiative to ask for it, otherwise they will encounter trouble in the settlement of the payment or the acceptance of the project. The colleague from the Finance Section saw it more clearly.
The company is ready to carry out energy-saving renovation of the brick kiln of the brick factory, which is a project costing two or three million, but Guan Yuntian wants to spend the main energy on the preparation of the new project of Changda Company, and has no time to take care of the transformation of the brick kiln.
Needless to say, this project naturally has to be handed over to Lao Wu and Zhou Fushan to be responsible, but Guan Yuntian explained very clearly that all aspects of the renovation project must be transparent, and all links can only be determined through bidding.
In this arrangement, since the purpose of the clouds, he firmly believed that mutual supervision was the best antiseptic. With Lao Wu and Lao Zhou's thoughts, how could they hide Guan Yuntian!
After the news of the brick kiln renovation project was disseminated, it quickly attracted a number of construction units in the society to come to bid, including the engineering company of Lao Wu and Zhou Fushan's friend. After two rounds of screening, other bidders were excluded, and now only the units of Zhou Fushan and Lao Wu's friends remain.
After several rounds of quotation competition, Lao Wu's friend's company lowered the price of the kiln by another three yuan per square meter, and quoted a very low price of 35 yuan per square meter, which caught Zhou Fushan off guard. The previous two or three projects were robbed by Lao Wu's friends, and this project, Lao Zhou Zhi was bound to succeed, he walked out of the office, went to a secluded place to talk to his relative on the phone, and discussed countermeasures.
Lao Zhou suggested that his relatives push the price down again, and the boss of the construction unit on the other end of the phone who called Lao Zhou the second uncle heard it, and his voice was a little out of tune, "Second uncle, if you press the price down again, there will be no profit for the project!"
"Don't think about it so much, let's take the project down. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, the construction unit of Zhou Fushan's distant nephew quoted 32 yuan per square meter.
Lao Wu, who thought that he had a chance to win, was speechless for a moment in shock when he heard this offer, and thought to himself, isn't this a loss of money and making money? He quickly told his friend the news, and the other party replied neatly: "This price can't be done, and no matter how low it is, it is even more impossible." So, Lao Wu's friend decided to withdraw from the competition.
In the end, Zhou Fushan's distant nephew got the construction contract for the kiln renovation project, because of the contracted labor and materials, the contract was signed in a very detailed and formal manner, in addition to the price, it also included material specifications, construction period, Party A's cooperation and payment methods and other terms.
As the manager in charge of production, Lao Wu supervises the construction situation is his power and responsibility, and it is also the general manager of the company, Guan Yuntian, who wants him to do. Because of the awkwardness in the bidding process, Lao Wu Zhen was indifferent to the construction of the kiln transformation.
One day when Lao Wu was on night shift, after getting off work, the construction team brought a car of refractories, the custodian was about to go through the unloading procedures after inspecting the goods, maybe he was bored, Lao Wu, who didn't care about this, walked over, circled around the car that pulled the refractories, looked at the refractories on the car, told the custodian not to unload the car, do not go through the warehousing procedures, and let the driver pull the goods back.
Zhou Fushan's distant nephew and his construction team lived in the brick factory during the construction period, and the refractory materials were ordered by him.
Lao Zhou, a distant nephew, found Lao Wu, "Manager Wu, why don't you let the goods be unloaded?"
"Let me ask you, what is the thickness of the refractory specified in the contract?" Lao Wu didn't have to look at the other party.
"Five centimeters! I ordered five centimeters thick refractory bricks. ”
"I see that your refractory materials are only four and a half centimeters. ”
"Impossible! How can there be a refractory of this specification?"
"Don't believe me, do you? I'll measure it for you. After saying that, Lao Wu really went to the warehouse to get a ruler, and began to measure it by himself, and after a minute or two, Lao Wu raised the ruler in his hand, "Four .7 centimeters, I don't believe you measure it yourself." And handed the ruler to the other person.
Lao Zhou's distant nephew took a ruler and measured it himself, "Four .8 centimeters, which is about the same as five centimeters." ”
"Hey, it's almost? The contract stipulates that it is five centimeters, and the materials you ordered are only 4.8 centimeters, which is called almost? Why is it not 5.2 or 5.3 centimeters?" Old Wu became more and more angry the more he said.
"Manager Wu, what do you say?" the other party asked helplessly.
"You ask me what to do? I didn't order this refractory material, and I didn't contract the project, I know what you should do! Don't say anything, the specifications of the refractory materials in the contract are clearly written, everything comes according to the contract, and if it doesn't meet the regulations, it has to be pulled back. Didn't you ask me what to do? I think that's what I should do. ”
The other party had no intention of pulling the goods back at all, and Lao Wu did not let the truck be unloaded, so the two sides were at a stalemate. After about ten minutes, Lao Zhou's distant nephew called him in the office and reported the situation to Lao Zhou.
The pager on Lao Wu's waist rang, and he pressed the displayed number to go back, only to know that it was Zhou Fushan calling. "What is the difference in the thickness of the refractory?" asked Lao Zhou.
"Two or three millimeters away. Old Wu replied.
"Oh, it's not too bad, or you can let the custodian do it first and unload the goods. Lao Zhou said in a consultative tone.
