Yu Qingyang did not disturb everyone's discussion. This was good. Professional matters were left to professional people.

Although Yu Qingyang is naturally a professional himself, in the field of engineering, Yu Qingyang has to admit that he is not much better than these experts.

What's great about him is that he has twenty years more engineering experience than him, not technology and engineering management.

Yu Qingyang was not in a hurry. He sat there and listened to their discussion, which was actually quite enlightening.

When these old experts discuss, they don't just have a dry discussion on how to do a certain process.

They will always give examples of a certain project they have worked on and the one they feel is the most outstanding.

By the way, let’s talk about our glorious years.

A process always involves more than a dozen wonderful stories, and only after all the experts participating in the discussion have finished talking about their glorious experiences can the final decision be made.

Listen to the old experts boast about their glory days.

Yu Qingyang discovered a problem. It is not that China does not have a management system, nor is it that Chinese people do not know how to manage projects.

The management of water conservancy projects in the 1950s and 1960s was definitely more reliable than it is now.

However, after the 1980s, a large number of private owners poured into the construction market.

It gradually messed up the market and lowered the management level of the entire country.

This is an indisputable fact. The first purpose of a private boss is to make money.

Naturally, we should save what we can. Not to mention major issues such as cutting corners and cutting materials, in terms of management, we should save what we can.

When the water conservancy project was being overhauled in the 1950s and 1960s, everyone could still eat white flour steamed buns with meat in the vegetables.

Now, forty years have passed. If you go to the workers' canteens on construction sites, you will find that many of them are not as high as the food standards in the 1950s and 1960s.

In the past 1950s and 1960s, when state-owned enterprises had a clear and detailed division of labor in construction site management, the positions included commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, chief engineer, engineer, construction worker, technician, warehouse manager, full-time plumber and electrician, and security department.

Very complete.

But after the 1980s, when private owners contracted projects, they would definitely not set up so many positions. In their view, it was enough to have a technician who could understand the drawings and a person of their own as a warehouse keeper.

Saving a dozen jobs at once, in the eyes of many people, can save a lot of money.

Private bosses do make more money as a result.

So most people regard this as the truth.

Some people began to clamor that private bosses are more capable and can manage and make money.

State-owned enterprises are bloated, and allocating so many unnecessary jobs for engineering projects is a waste of the country's money, and so on.

Coinciding with the reform of state-owned enterprises, a large number of state-owned enterprises went bankrupt and closed due to poor management, and there was a huge wave of layoffs.

With this kind of argument, the market is more abundant.

As a result, more people feel that engineering is really like this. It doesn't require so many people. It is enough to have a technician, a Kang Erliang to lead the work, and a direct lineage to be responsible for warehouse purchasing.

But, is this really okay?

How many people can manage a construction site well?

Can you control quality?

Can waste be avoided?

In an era where everything is about money, who cares about quality, who cares about waste, and who cares about safety seems to be true. This is a common phenomenon in all construction sites.

Many state-owned construction companies have also followed suit and arranged as few people as possible.

If you make too many arrangements, you will be said to be a waste of the country's money.

Even if it is really wasted, it is a private waste, and no one dares to bear this name on the surface.

But in any case, China's construction market and engineering industry have gone astray since the 1980s.

In China, when people talk about engineering, everyone subconsciously categorizes them as the same as those who work in mining, that is, rich people and nouveau riche.

In short, few people regard engineering as a technical job or a decent job.

This should be considered a phenomenon of bad money chasing good money.

Of course, later countries also realized this problem and began to introduce various relevant laws and regulations to regulate and restrict the construction market.

It's a pity that the three feet of ice did not last in a day. Until Yu Qingyang was reborn, the construction market was still not so standardized.

Only large-scale projects are relatively standardized.

In fact, in this regard, not only domestically, but also abroad.

It's just that overseas countries, such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have relatively sound laws.

Construction companies would not dare to defer workers' food and accommodation standards so blatantly.

Outside of the law, foreign private sector bosses are more excessive than domestic private sector bosses.

For example, in a country that claims to be a gentleman, some people even use slaves to do their work.

Of course, using slaves to work on construction sites does not happen on our own territory, but in some backward countries in Africa.

Even within our own territory, it has been exposed that some manor owners are still secretly using slaves to work.

This is what happens in a country that claims to be a gentleman every day.

Too far away...

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Meng, and Mr. Zhang, please take a look at this plan!" After lunch, Yu Qingyang called the three chief engineers to the room and handed them the travel route plan.

The three people took the planning book and looked through it.

"Mr. Yu, does our company want to take over the general contracting of this project?" Meng Zhiyuan asked.

The company's senior management already knows Yu Qingyang's temper and character very well.

I know that when he took out this preliminary planning document, it was definitely not for a certain bidding section.

If you want to accept it, it must be a general contracting project.

"Yes!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Yu, there are no problems with the roads and bridges, and the technical difficulties are not great. However, we do not have blasting qualifications or tunnel construction qualifications!" Wang Yiming raised his head, adjusted his glasses and said seriously.

"Haha! I talked about this project with District Mayor Wang of Dongcheng District yesterday.

Our company invests in fepc projects.

We can find professional subcontracting companies for both blasting and tunnel construction.

The remaining roads and bridges will be left to your three companies.

In your words, roads and bridges do not have much technical content.

That is to say, the bridge at Nishuiquan Reservoir is relatively large!

I believe that with the technical strength of your Huayu Second Construction, there should be no problem, right?" Yu Qingyang asked Wang Yiming with a smile.

The reason why I mentioned Huayu Second Construction is because Yu Qingyang knew that the three construction companies, Huayu First Construction and Huaihai Engineering Corporation, were all newly established companies.

The construction power is still being adjusted. There is no problem in digging rivers, building roads, and building houses. However, the technical power for such large bridges is still lacking.

In other words, it still needs time to practice.

"No problem! Our company is capable of carrying out viaduct construction!" Wang Yiming said confidently.

"That's good, Lao Wang, then the bridge will be built by Hua Yu II!

Lao Zhang, be prepared, I will transfer you to the newly established project management company later.

Serve as the chief engineer of the project management company." After Yu Qingyang said to Wang Yiming and Zhang Shuping, he then said to Meng Zhiyong: "Lao Meng, you and I will not move for the time being!

There have been a lot of big projects in Huaihai recently, and they can’t do without you!"

The reason why Yu Qingyang explained it is because although the future project management company will be on the same level as the three construction companies within the group.

Zhang Shuping's transition from chief engineer of Huayu No. 1 Construction Company to chief engineer of the project management company seemed to be a smooth transfer.

However, the project management company exists as Party A.

Functionally, it is one step ahead of three construction companies.

Just like Huayu Real Estate, although they are all vice president-level branches, they are inherently higher than the three construction companies.

Of course, saying that Meng Zhizhi is too busy is not a polite statement. Huaihai Engineering Corporation has several major projects under its control.

The comprehensive management of Xiaoqing River, Huayu Century City, and the newly won bid for the expansion of Wolongshan Reservoir are all large projects worth hundreds of millions.

I will soon go to Ajigeria to provide reconstruction aid.

As the chief engineer of Huaihai Engineering Corporation, Meng Zhiyi will be very busy in the next two to three years.

On the contrary, as soon as Huayu was built, it took on a lot of projects, but they were all small and medium-sized projects worth 10 to 20 million, 20 to 30 million yuan.

Yu Qingyang did not interfere too much in contracting the project.

Wherever there is a sign about an enterprise affiliated with the Department of Water Resources, the water conservancy system will basically give it some face.

What kind of projects can be accepted depends entirely on the abilities of the two bosses.
