Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 167 [Construction of the new headquarters is in full swing]

The next day, Xiao Yu appeared at the construction site of the new headquarters in Dongcheng District, Linzhou City.

There is a huge construction going on here now. Various large-scale engineering equipment are running at full capacity on the construction site, and tens of thousands of workers are working in shifts around the clock. Due to the tight schedule, the project must be completed within this year. This means that a small city is being built from scratch in a desolate and barren land in about a year and a half.

No builder in the world can meet such harsh conditions except the efficiency of the great Eastern powers.

However, Party A was really awesome. Not only did he not withhold the accounts receivable, nor did he ask for advance payment, he even made an advance payment in advance.

Moreover, the project profit given by the client was very high. The entire new headquarters park in Dongcheng District was equivalent to building a small city from scratch, rather than just one or two headquarters buildings. For this purpose, Xiao Yu allocated a huge budget of 100 billion yuan with a wave of his hand.

The construction industry has excess production capacity that has nowhere to be released. Sometimes, even unprofitable projects will be accepted because the losses from not having any projects will be greater. When bidding for projects, peers have to work hard to win bids. These days, it is impossible to find another company that can take on such projects.

At this moment, a group of people accompanied Xiao Yu to inspect the construction site.

Xiao Yu stopped, raised his hand to push the safety helmet he was wearing, and stopped in front of several slogans at the construction site to take a look.

[Seize the cloudy days, grab the sunny days, and take the drizzle as a good day]

[When it is bright, it is daytime; when it is sunny, one day is equivalent to two days]

[Work hard when it rains lightly, and work very hard when it rains heavily. Work hard when it rains heavily, and work hard when there is no rain]

[Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!]

Xiao Yu laughed dumbly, then asked, "You're working so hard, there haven't been any casualties on the construction site, right? Have there been any deaths on the job?"

An accompanying staff member immediately stepped forward and answered truthfully: "Five people were indeed injured during the construction period, three of whom were overworked. The project schedule was tight, but fortunately there were no work-related deaths."

Hearing that there were no fatalities, Xiao Yu felt relieved. He then said as he walked, "Don't let anyone get killed. We have given enough budget and Party B's profit. We just hope to have more people to reduce the labor intensity of individuals, while not affecting the overall progress and efficiency of the project."

In response to the words of the boss, the client's father, the accompanying personnel nodded in agreement.

However, Xiao Yu did not interfere too much as an outsider. It was unrealistic to have no casualties at all for such a large project under such a tight deadline. However, as long as no one was killed, it would be fine.

There are tens of thousands of people at the construction site. It is not an easy task to coordinate and allocate so many people. Even if an ordinary person organizes a team-building activity for a dozen or twenty people, it will be exhausting to organize the activity, let alone such a large event.

The workers in each project engineering team worked very hard because the client really gave the money.

Moreover, there is no delay in payment. With regard to project payments, the wages of workers on the front line are paid first, and are paid on time every month, as opposed to the usual practice of settling all project payments together and leaving the workers without any payment during this period.

This was actually Xiao Yu's special request. This is not the practice in the industry, but if you don't do this, you won't get the bid.

The engineering team was also happy to hear this. After all, Xiao Yu did not ask the construction party to advance the money, so there was no money being held back in the capital chain of the entire project, and the workers did not have to worry about facing the problem of asking for wages afterwards.

If you pay enough money, you will be motivated to work.

After a while, Xiao Yu came to the headquarters of AVIC Linfei and visited the construction site of the smart factory. This was the construction unit that he paid the most attention to, because the progress of the smart factory was related to the output of room temperature superconducting materials. If it was not done well here, Xiao Yu would not be able to transport room temperature superconducting materials from the Blue Star World.

"I'm not an engineering professional, so I won't guide professionals. Our requirements are simple: complete and deliver the project on time with quality, and work so hard without causing any deaths." Xiao Yu looked at a person in charge who was accompanying him and said so.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. There will be absolutely no problem in completing and delivering the project on time with quality. We have also adopted the most stringent standards for construction safety." The person in charge accompanying him responded immediately.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded slightly without saying much. He inspected the headquarters base of AVIC Linfei Company for a while, and then went to the headquarters base of Lingjing Technology for a visit and inspection.

"This area is a residential building, and the roof will be completed soon." The accompanying staff introduced to Xiao Yu.

"Well, not bad." Xiao Yu looked at the buildings in the residential area and nodded with satisfaction. A large piece of land was allocated at the headquarters base of Lingjing Technology to build a residential area. After it is completed, it will be a place provided by the company for employees to live.

Xiao Yu continued to walk around for a few more rounds, and after understanding the current progress of the project, he left with satisfaction.
It is worth mentioning that Lingjing Technology has an employee benefit, which is to allocate housing to regular employees free of charge.

After the new headquarters is completed and put into operation, employees can receive a house and move in. Those with families can bring their families with them. After an employee has worked for 15 years, the house he lives in will belong to the employee.

Even if you leave the company, you can continue to live here. The residential area is in the headquarters park, but it is separate from the office area, so if employees continue to live here after leaving the company, it will not have any impact on the company.

However, there is a small restriction on these houses, that is, once they are owned by individual employees, they cannot be bought or sold at will. If an employee wants to move out and sell the house, the company will repurchase it at a fair market price.

After the repurchase, the vacant houses will be allocated to new employees.

Not only Lingjing Technology, but also AVIC Linfei Company in the park has the same employee residential area and the same welfare benefits. This is not surprising because the founder of both companies is Xiao Yu.

In other words, employees of Lingjing Technology and AVIC Linfei Company do not need to take out loans to buy houses, which greatly saves housing expenses.

With high salary and good benefits, it is no wonder that countless workers hope to work for Lingjing Technology or AVIC Linfei Company.

Another purpose of Xiao Yu's move is actually to suppress the low prices in the surrounding areas and avoid the emergence of super land kings near the company's headquarters. The company's employees are the group with the highest purchasing power in the surrounding area. They do not need to buy additional commercial housing, so the price of houses loses a major support.

Moreover, Linzhou City has a "God of Wealth" like Lingjing Technology, and its dependence on land finance is decreasing sharply. Land prices are cheap, so housing prices will naturally be much cheaper.

The land around the new headquarters has now been targeted by many real estate developers, and Linzhou City has long promised that all supporting infrastructure will follow.

Company employees do not need to pay for houses out of their own pockets, which unleashes their huge consumption potential. They will certainly not be stingy with food, drinks, entertainment, etc. This will inevitably attract countless businesses to open stores nearby to serve this group with huge consumption potential.

Even though there are not many people in this suburb within a suburb now, once the new headquarters is completed and delivered and the company moves in, within one or two years, various commercial streets, cinemas and entertainment facilities, and the surrounding areas will quickly prosper, and the boost to the economy and consumption is self-evident.

There are already many businesses from various industries that are planning to come here to provide supporting services. If it were not for making way and not affecting the progress of the new headquarters construction team, the surrounding plots would have already started breaking ground for construction.
