The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"Hey, Manager Ge, capping, what do you want me to do with the capping?"

"Raising the beam is raising the beam. That is the custom in rural areas. We have to respect it, but our family building is not suitable. Let's not bother with the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"

When I got back to the office, before I had time to sit down, take a break, and read the newspaper, I received a call from the project department at the construction site.

In the first phase, the front row of buildings were topped out together. Old Ge wanted to invite Li Feng to give a speech, cut the ribbon, and set off some firecrackers to celebrate.

Li Feng doesn't want to engage in this kind of formalism. If he has the money, he might as well use it to provide extra meals for the workers at the construction site.

As I recall, when the roof was being capped, a special opening had to be left. When capping the roof, the project department brought the client and each person shoveled concrete to seal the roof. However, this method was not as practical as one-time cast-in-place concrete, and over time, there would be a risk of leakage.

"Tsk, Lao Ge, Manager Ge, as for the project department, even if you add a dish to the canteen on the construction site and celebrate internally, it won't matter much. It's best not to make a big fuss. We are the only one in Dongcheng who is building a family quarters~!"

Li Feng, who was holding the microphone, lowered his voice a little and advised patiently.

The roof has been completed, but there are still a series of issues left, such as entrance water and electricity, doors and windows, stair railings, paint, putty powder, etc. It is still too early to discuss.

"How could I do that? It was the young people in the project department who were shouting at the meeting that the house could be built and topped out thanks to our Party. I had never done that before. I treated it as a festive event like raising a beam in the countryside!"

On the other end of the conversation, Old Ge was a little speechless at this time. Maybe he heard the implicit meaning of Li Feng's words, so he had to express the ideas of the young people in the project department.

In his life, he has walked on the tightrope countless times. When it comes to dealing with people, Lao Ge has nine ways, nine methods. Even if he only has one arm left, he can still cure people.

But faced with the opinions of the enthusiastic and arrogant young employees, he was helpless and could only ask Li Feng how to solve the problem.

In matters like this, it's better to be cautious. Ask Li Feng for instructions. It won't delay you for long anyway.

"Hiss~, if that's what you say, we still have to do it. We still have to consider the opinions of the cadres and employees. Without the guidance of the ***, how can we live in a brand new building~!"

At this point, things are more than just about building a house and topping it out.

"Can you please tell me the main point? The meeting is still going on and I have to go over and make an announcement later. Let's see how to do it~!"

Old Ge on the other end of the phone suddenly lost his temper. It was Li Feng who said earlier that the celebration should not be grand, and it was also Li Feng who said now that the opinions of cadres and employees should be considered. He had said everything, but he hadn't responded yet.

"The completion of the roof of a building is also a happy event, just like the raising of a beam in the countryside. It is a big event and big events should be celebrated, but we must pay attention to safety. After all, the construction is going on inside the construction site, so it is still quite dangerous."

Lao Ge: "Yes, I think so too~!"

"So, if we can't do it in the family quarters, we can try to invite villagers from the neighboring villages to the entrance of the family quarters, dance the yangge, sing some songs, and celebrate. That's all!"

"Also, you have to give a speech, too. When you do, invite some construction workers who usually perform well and are more reliable to come up. They will serve as role models and leaders, so you have to commend them and give them some rewards from the project department. You are the project manager, so you decide for yourself~!"

"If they say they want to thank the factory or someone else, you should say they want to thank the country and remember to borrow a photo from the Propaganda Department."

Considering that Lao Ge had spent the first half of his life fighting and killing, he might not be so good at talking. Li Feng's instructions were relatively detailed. If he practices more, he will be more familiar with big scenes in the future.

If this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will have an impact on the subsequent construction of the family quarters.

From the start of construction last year to this year, these construction workers have worked really hard. Summer is coming soon, and when the weather is hot, the first phase has been capped off one after another, and it is time to pay out the rewards.

"Dudu~!"

"Wow, wow, hang up on me so quickly! I haven't even finished what I'm saying~!"

The busy tone coming from the other end of the phone caused Li Feng's blood pressure, which had dropped slightly, to rise again. When he called again, the line was still busy.

Needless to say, Lao Ge probably followed the instructions and went to the Propaganda Department to ask for photos, and he acted extremely decisively.

Li Feng opened the drawer and took out the palm-sized book. After thinking about it, he put it in his pocket. He was even more cunning than Lao Ge. "It's not good for me to read it alone. I have to learn it all and roll it up for me~!"

The heavy weight in his shirt pocket made Li Feng feel more at ease. He then made a phone call to the purchasing department.

"If each person gets one book, then Corey's expenditure this month will be...?"

Section Chief Wang, who was holding the phone, looked a little troubled. This kind of booklet-style book was not very expensive, but the quantity was large, and if each person bought one, the cost would be several thousand yuan.

"We need to pay the special fees for the driving school. All the staff of the driving school and the two branches should also be given a copy. No one should be left out. At least one copy should be given to each person. Spending money is a small matter. The ideological education of cadres and staff is a big matter. We need to communicate with the bookstore!"

After brushing off the newspaper in his hand, Li Feng picked up the phone and heard Lao Ge's hoarse voice.

"Oh, Secretary Li, your idea is great. I will follow your instructions. The cadres and workers all said that this is a suitable way to celebrate. The Propaganda Department called and they will send someone to deliver it later. I have also sent people to nearby villages to invite people to perform waist drums and yangko dances!"

"Okay, you can handle the rest. You are the general manager of the project department. If the young cadres and employees who raised opinions still involve this issue in the future, it is best to communicate with me in advance before making a decision~!"

"By the way, do you know which factory sent the knife switches for the houses in our family quarters?"

After arranging the above matters, Li Feng looked at the ceramic base on the table. This was still the most urgent matter at the moment.

The ceramic workers who were specially hired have now obviously been snatched away by the big factory. Whether they can make a comeback depends on whether this matter can be sorted out.

"Electricity Bureau, the electricity meter was delivered along with the truck from the Electricity Bureau. Which factory made it? Wait a moment, don't hang up yet, I'll go to the warehouse next door to check~!"

"It's from Shanghai, produced by Shanghai Huatong Switch Factory. Principal Jiang knows about this and he was the one who contacted them. What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I'll hang up first~!"

When he heard that the person was from Shanghai, Li Feng immediately lost interest, mainly because it was too far away. He originally thought that the person was from Beijing, but he didn't expect that he was from Shanghai. He did know a Gu Yaodong, the stationmaster, in Shanghai, but Li Feng still wanted to find someone nearby in Beijing.

Only after contacting Jiang Xianda did Li Feng know what was going on.

After all this time, I found that the brands in Shanghai are more reliable than those in Beijing, and Huatong brand switches are an old brand among old brands.

When it came to the family building where he would have to live in the future, Principal Jiang did not choose products produced by the Beijing Switch Factory. After a few drinks with the leaders of the Electric Power Bureau, he replaced all of them with Shanghai Huatong brand products.

"Let's just stay in Shanghai. Well, I have to look for my old comrades!"

Originally, he wanted to use the switch used in his family quarters to contact the other factory, take a look in person, learn some technology, and bring back some talent.

As a result, after being replaced by Principal Jiang, I might not be welcomed when I go there.

After contacting Chu Heng from Sanliangdian, and through his connections, I finally found a cadre from the Beijing Switch Factory.

Li Feng was speechless at this time. He could have gone to the factory openly, but after Principal Jiang's tricks, he could only go there secretly.

However, this generation seems to be like this.

They only recognize Shanghai brands for everything, no matter if it's an expensive watch, bicycle, or sewing machine, or a cheap handbag or hairpin, as long as it's made in Shanghai, there's no problem selling it.

At noon, I had a meal in the cafeteria.

I lay on the fabric sofa in the office and took a nap for a while. At about noon, I said goodbye to the secretary and went out.

The Beijing Switch Factory is also located in Dongcheng, south of the steel rolling mill and the motorcycle factory, close to Chaoyang Outer Street. It is a new factory that was established in January last year.

Perhaps this is why Jiang Xianda insisted on choosing the Shanghai Huatong brand. (End of this chapter)
