Chapter 608 You invite Mao Laodao, I invite Sun Boling

The site of the   Heavy Machinery Factory is in a relatively high terrain area on Tuanjie Road.

  This is a treasure land of feng shui in Qinghe City. Because of the high terrain, this place cannot be flooded when floods occur in the rainy season.

   When the dam was not built in the upper Qinghe River in the past few years, this area was a real fragrant bun. All government departments, enterprises and institutions wanted to move their offices here to avoid flooding in summer.

   There are only two units that successfully moved here, one is the weather bureau and the other is the radio and television station, because these two units cannot be flooded.

  The Bureau of Meteorology is not only responsible for the daily weather forecast. Whenever the rainy season comes, the Bureau of Meteorology monitors the rainfall in each area of ​​Qinghe, and makes precise scheduling from the resources for fighting floods.

   Therefore, the Meteorological Bureau will become the temporary headquarters for flood fighting. The secretary and the mayor will come to command in person. As the "brain" of the flood fighting task, the Meteorological Bureau must of course ensure normal operation and not be flooded.

   And radio and television stations need to release information on flood control and disaster avoidance to the society. If normal communication is interrupted, they need to issue flood control preemptive instructions through radio, so radio and television stations also need to ensure normal operation and not be flooded.

   In addition to the Meteorological Bureau and the Radio and Television Station, there is a hospital in this area, and then there is the heavy machinery factory.

   In recent years, many dams have been built in the upper reaches of Qinghe River, and there has been no flooding in Qinghe River. The advantages of this area have been gradually weakened.

It was decades ago that the heavy machinery factory came here to build a factory. At that time, this area was still farmland. With the development of the city, this area has already been included in the urban area, and several residential project.

   It is precisely because of the expansion of the urban area that the transportation of raw materials and products of heavy machinery factories has brought problems.

The west and north sides of the    Heavy Machinery Factory, which were suburbs a few years ago, have now become urban areas.

  Construction machinery is a kind of large-scale mechanical equipment. Naturally, it cannot pass through densely populated urban areas during transportation, so the road to the west and north is blocked.

   On the south side is the railway. The height and width of the railway culvert are fine for transporting small construction machinery, but not for transporting large construction machinery.

  In the third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier cities of that era, there were basically no overpasses. Even if there were, the weight of vehicles would be limited, and heavy vehicles would definitely not be allowed on overpasses.

  So there is only one transportation route left for the heavy machinery factory, and that is eastward transportation.

  After the products leave the factory, they go directly east across the bridge on Tuanjie Road, leave the urban area, and then take the national or provincial roads to transport the products to all parts of the country.

   Now the Tuanjie Road Bridge is blocked, vehicles cannot pass through, and the road for the heavy machinery factory to transport products is completely blocked.

   You can’t go south, east, north, and west. Even if the heavy machinery factory produces products, it can’t be shipped out.

   For established state-owned enterprises, it is also a very common thing to be located in the prosperous area of ​​the urban area. In the era of planned economy, product production was emphasized and product circulation was despised. The urban planning of that era often did not consider commercial development. Many factories are specially built near the city center, and the commute time is very lively.

   When Li Weidong acquired the loader factory, he also faced the same situation. At that time, the size of the loader factory was much smaller than that of the heavy machinery factory, the factory area was smaller, and the location of the factory was closer to the city center.

   It’s just that Li Weidong was more foresight and moved the Fukang project to the industrial park early to solve the transportation problem.

   In addition, the scale of the Fukang project at that time was relatively small, and the overall relocation cost was relatively low. If it was the current Fukang project, it would cost a lot of money to relocate.

  The heavy machinery factory has not been relocated, and has always stayed in the original factory area. First, it is reluctant to give up this feng shui treasure. Second, because of the large scale of the enterprise, the cost of relocation is relatively high.

  The development speed of Chinese cities is really fast. In just a few years, the size of the city has expanded several times. The places that were originally suburban have become urban areas and even prosperous areas.

  The dense population and traffic pressure brought about by the development of the city are extremely unfriendly to industrial production, especially modern heavy industrial production, which is destined to be unable to survive in densely populated urban areas.

  …

In the    conference room, the leadership of the heavy machinery factory gathered to discuss countermeasures.

   "Director, I have already inquired clearly. The reason why the Tuanjie Road Bridge was blocked this morning was to inspect the bridge." A subordinate said.

   "It's good, why are you testing it?" Zhang Tao then asked.

  The man immediately replied: "It is said that the bridge has been used for many years, and the illegal sand mining in the river in the past few years has caused the pier to be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out inspections to determine the damage and repair it."

   "If it's just a bridge inspection, it shouldn't take much time!" Zhang Tao paused, then said: "After the inspection, will the bridge be passable?"

   "Yes," the man replied.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but the man continued: "But according to the news I inquired from the city, after the inspection, although the bridge is passable, heavy vehicles are not allowed to pass through, so as to avoid more serious damage to the bridge! "

   "What? We don't allow heavy vehicles to pass through? Isn't it possible that none of our cars can pass?" Zhang Tao suddenly became anxious.

  Small construction machinery is only about six to eight tons, while medium and large construction machinery, twenty or thirty tons is a common thing, which is far beyond the standard of heavy vehicles.

   Even if it is a small construction machine, if it is transported by a trailer, its weight has reached the standard of a heavy vehicle, and it still cannot pass through the Tuanjie Road Bridge.

  But if you don't need a trailer for transportation, you can't drive a crawler excavator and walk directly over the bridge!

   Therefore, the passage of heavy vehicles is prohibited, which means that all construction machinery is not allowed to pass through the bridge.

   After pondering for a while, Zhang Tao asked, "When will the bridge be repaired? How long will it take to repair it?"

  Zhang Tao obviously hopes that after the bridge is repaired, heavy vehicles can continue to pass.

   The subordinate replied: "After the inspection is completed, a repair plan is formulated and repairs will be carried out immediately. But I heard that even after the repair is completed, heavy vehicles are still not allowed to pass!"

   "Why? It's all repaired, so why haven't you let it go!" Someone next to him asked angrily.

   "It is said that experts have come to the conclusion that because the structure of the bridge has been irreversibly damaged, even after the repairs are completed, the passing vehicles must be restricted in weight."

   The man paused for a while, then continued: "And I heard from the city that the repairs are only temporary. According to the advice of experts, this bridge will have to be demolished sooner or later and a new bridge will be built."

   "Expert? What kind of expert? Where did it come from?" Zhang Tao asked with a displeased face.

"This expert was invited by Li Weidong from the National Bridge Engineering Research Institute. An academician surnamed Chen is said to be the disciple and grandson of Mr. Mao Yisheng! This time, the safety hazards of the Tuanjie Road Bridge on Tuanjie Road were discovered by this academician." The subordinates rushed to report.

   "Experts invited by Li Weidong!" Zhang Tao's spirit burst when he heard the name.

I saw Zhang Tao opened his mouth and analyzed: "Li Weidong has no reason to ask a bridge expert to do it? The industries in his hands include construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and small household appliances, but they are not the same as bridge building. Are you close?

   He invited a bridge expert inexplicably. After the expert came, he immediately discovered that the Tuanjie Road Bridge was damaged and had to close the bridge for repairs, which was too coincidental!

   And after the repairs, heavy vehicles are not allowed to pass, but we are the only large enterprise on Tuanjie Road, and the heavy vehicles that usually need to pass the Tuanjie Road Bridge are only our heavy machinery factory.

   What is more critical is the timing. The Tuanjie Road Bridge has been used for decades without any problems. Volvo has just shipped the production line and seeing our new products come out, this bridge has a problem?

   One of them is just a coincidence. Are they all coincidences? How can there be such a coincidence in the world? This shows that Li Weidong is deliberately targeting us! "

   After listening to Zhang Tao's analysis, everyone in the conference room was filled with righteous indignation.

   "I said why the bridge has to be repaired all of a sudden, it turned out to be Li Weidong's ghost!"

   "Then this expert must have been hired by Li Weidong. He deliberately said that there is a problem with the bridge, which means that our products cannot be sold!"

   "Although Li Weidong has a lot of industries, he has nothing to do with building bridges. He hired a bridge expert this time, and he made it clear that he was deliberately targeting us."

   "But if there is a problem with this bridge, you must have a test report, right? Could this test report be fake?"

   "Who said that the test report can't be faked? Then Li Weidong is not easy to get a fake test report as long as he is willing to spend money."

   "This is too bad for Li Weidong, to use such a shady trick to compete in an upright manner!"

   "I think Li Weidong just knows that their Fukang project doesn't need Volvo, and he can't compete with us, so he used a trick!"

  Heavy Machinery Factory and Fukang Engineering are in a life-and-death state. The experts Li Weidong recruited are naturally considered to have received Li Weidong's money and ran to tell lies.

   "The problem now lies with this expert. He is an academician after all, and his conclusions, even if they are false, are authoritative. For safety reasons, the city will definitely listen to the experts." Someone said.

"He Li Weidong can find an expert, but we can't find an expert? He hired a Mao Laodao, let's hire a Sun Boling. Let's also find an expert, give him some money, let him speak for us, and say there is no problem with the bridge, Then there is no need for repairs.”

"I think one expert is not enough, then Li Weidong found an expert, we will find a few more experts, and then we will have more weight. And we now have Volvo's capital injection, so paying for experts is not a problem at all! "

   Zhang Tao, who was sitting in the middle, coughed dryly: "What do you mean by giving them money and speaking for us! Isn't that a bribe? We should invite experts to come over and expose Li Weidong's lies!

   But one expert is really not enough. I think of a way to invite four or five famous professors from well-known universities. It is best to have one with the title of academician, so that it will be more convincing! "

  …

Money can make a ghost run the mill. Now that the heavy machinery factory has received a capital injection from Volvo, it will no longer have to live in poverty. Although it can't buy any big items, the money from experts can still be used. of.

So Zhang Tao spent some time and really invited four experts from Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University and other schools. Although none of the four had academician titles, they were all well-known professors in the industry, including one who returned from overseas. and a professor who won the "Changjiang Scholar" award.

   Then Zhang Tao eagerly went to find Li Zhongwei.

   "Leader, I think the repair of the Tuanjie Road Bridge should be done with caution. You can't just ask an expert to say that there is a problem, just think the bridge really has a problem!" Zhang Tao said.

Li Zhongwei smiled slightly and said, "Chen Tongshu is not just an expert. He is an academician of the Academy of Sciences and a descendant of Mr. Mao Yisheng. Mr. Mao Yisheng, you should know, right? That is a world-class bridge. Experts are the leaders of our national scientific community!

   Therefore, the conclusion made by Academician Chen is still very authoritative. Furthermore, the potential safety hazard of the Tuanjie Road Bridge was only concluded after testing. You and I are not experts in bridges, so you should still believe in professionalism and science in this regard. "

  Zhang Tao said quickly; "Leader, it's not that I can't trust Academician Chen, and it's not that I don't believe in science. I think this matter is very important, we should be more cautious, and find a few more experts to come over and carefully judge the situation of the bridge.

   And one more person, one more strength, one more expert, maybe there will be one more solution. There is a saying that three cobblers are the top of Zhuge Liang. We will find a few more Zhuge Liang to come over and work together, and the effect will definitely be better. "

"Director Zhang, what you said is reasonable, but time waits for no one. According to Academician Chen's judgment, the Tuanjie Road Bridge should be repaired as soon as possible. For every day of delay, the risk of safety accidents will increase by one point. We don't have that many. Time to find an expert again." Li Zhongwei replied.

Zhang Tao immediately said: "Leader, I have already found four bridge experts, namely Professor Liu from Tsinghua University, Professor Zhang from Fudan University, Professor Guo from Zhejiang University, and Professor Li from Nanjing University. Come here. As for the cost, it will be borne by our factory.”

   "All the experts have been found? Still four!" Academician Chen gave Zhang Tao a meaningful look.

   Zhang Tao replied immediately; "The Tuanjie Road Bridge is related to the travel of the people in the city, and our factory also wants to make more contributions to the people in the city."

   Now that all the experts have been found, Li Zhongwei did not refuse any more. As Zhang Tao said, one more expert means one more solution. Anyway, no need to spend money, more experts to participate in the discussion, it is definitely helpful to solve the problem.

   So Li Zhongwei nodded: "Alright then, I'll have to work hard for Director Zhang."

  …

  The car slowly drove towards the Tuanjie Road Bridge.

Zhang Tao pointed to the front and said, "Four professors, the front is our Tuanjie Road Bridge! This bridge has been running for so many years without any problems, and now it is suddenly said that it is damaged. I don't believe it, you see. How can this bridge be damaged at all!"

   "Whether there is damage, you can't tell just by looking at the exterior. You have to go to the field to investigate." Professor Liu said.

   "Yes, in addition to the appearance of the bridge, we also have to consider a series of issues such as the bridge's structure and load-bearing structure before we can make a judgment." Professor Zhang also said.

  Zhang Tao said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the bridge is damaged or not. As long as the four professors can help us prove that the bridge can continue to carry carts, I am very grateful!"

   The word "Thank you" is a particularly heavy bite. Taking medicine is not a fool, you can hear Zhang Tao's implication.

   The update will be delivered today, thank you for your subscription, please ask for a monthly pass, and thank you for passing the test!
