Rich and Capricious!

_2 Especially in terms of employing people.

Everyone knows that there are many migrant workers on construction sites.

Many engineering companies only hire technical personnel for design and construction.

The dirty and tiring tasks are left to the migrant workers outsourced from labor companies.

This gave rise to specific divisions of labor with different responsibilities, such as concrete workers, steel workers, carpenters, electricians, etc.

Labor companies often subcontract their business to various foremen.

Migrant workers go wherever there is work.

Such multilevel subcontracting most easily leads to the issue of “wage arrears.”

Tanglong Industrial Group is not short of money, and it would definitely make payments to each construction section’s participating units according to the project schedule.

As for whether these units would pay the labor companies on time, whether the labor companies would pay the foremen on time, and whether the foremen would withhold wages from their migrant workers…

With each additional link, the risk of arrears increases significantly.

Besides that,

the migrant workers vary in age and quality; their awareness of safety also differs…

Some might feel that repairing roads in remote and rugged terrains is too tough and the conditions too poor, unable to continue for long before leaving and possibly dispute with the foreman over settlement issues.

Others, wanting to earn as much as possible, would actively seek more work, and excessive fatigue could lead to a lack of concentration and result in accidents.

Additionally, the counties and districts along this expressway route are already underdeveloped, and certainly no small number of people would want to find work and earn money on the construction site.

In intensive, continuous construction operations, how to ensure the safety of migrant workers and how to protect their lives and property…

Tang Xiao’s meeting focused on discussing and deploying the “double safety” issues.

As the general manager of the company, Chu Yunxuan of course attended the meeting and gave a detailed report.

All participating units also had to present their related measures and policies.

…

The meeting continued until nearly dusk.

By this time, Wu Jie had already flown from Tianyuan to Tongcheng.

The main purpose of this trip was to select one of the three alternative sites passed by the expressway for the construction of the Science Research City.

Li’an County, Bailing County, Shanqi County.

Among them, Li’an County, where Wu Jie’s hometown Pingle Town is located, was naturally the most hoped to be chosen.

Pingle Town, spanning nearly thirty square kilometers, and its nearly thirty thousand residents, naturally wished for Wu Jie to build the Science Research City in their hometown.

Firstly, the land compensation was frightfully high.

Wu Jie had to acquire tens of thousands of mu of land, needing at least a four-by-four-kilometer mega-sized plot.

According to previous resettlement compensation conditions for constructing the expressway, families who lost land in demolition could all become millionaires.

How much could one mu of land yield in a year, no matter what you grew?

With severe aging in rural areas and the young people going out to work, lands lying fallow were everywhere.

It was better to demolish the land and houses and move elsewhere with the money.

What could resolve their worries, if not striking it rich?

Over ten billion yuan in demolition funds would make many people “wealthy.”

Secondly, the economic drive.

Building the expressway already significantly stimulated employment and economic spending along the route for cement, gravel, food ingredients, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.

Constructing the Science Research City would also inevitably bring considerable consumption demand.

Once completed, it would also daily consume a significant amount of chicken, duck, fish, fruit, vegetables, etc.

After all, research personnel cannot survive without eating, right?

Lastly, the social impact.

The Science Research City, focused on scientific research and developing high-tech, will create various new technologies.

“This is the source of green and high-quality economic development.

After the completion of Science Research City, it is bound to attract other enterprises to come.”

“Once that happens, isn’t it more beneficial to the local people’s employment and wealth if we build a technology industrial park?”

“Moreover, Science Research City isn’t a high-energy-consuming, high-polluting, low-output enterprise.

Attracting such entities counts as notable political achievements!”

“In any case.”

“To compete for Science Research City to be set up in their counties, all three counties were exceptionally proactive.”

“They not only arranged special working groups for coordination but also formed delegations to welcome Wu Jie at the airport.”

“On the bus leaving the airport, Wu Jie heard them making their respective cases one by one.”

“His hometown, Li’an County, of course, played the card of kinship.”

“They claimed their greatest advantage was the support of the people, united from top to bottom.”

“As long as the location is chosen in Pingle Town, the villagers will definitely sign and relocate at the fastest speed without a single holdout.”

“Moreover, the town itself has beautiful scenery, perfect for creating a green Science Research City with lush green mountains.”

“The other two counties naturally played to their strengths while avoiding their weaknesses.”

“They presented their advantages as having relatively more convenient transportation, better amenities, and more suitable terrain for construction…”

“In fact, Wu Jie had already read detailed feasibility reports on the three potential sites.”

“Pingle Town, his hometown, had a good public foundation and wasn’t too remote, but the problem was the lack of abundant water resources.”

“The Science Research City Wu Jie wanted to build, with its supercomputers and large data centers, would generate a lot of heat when operational.”

“If large amounts of fresh water from rivers and lakes could be introduced for thermal exchange, it would have a significant cooling effect while saving energy.”

“Bailing County has a river running through it, providing ample water, but the terrain is too complex, making road and building construction challenging.”

“Shanqi County has complex public sentiment.

To requisition tens of thousands of acres of land, the land acquisition and demolition work would be very cumbersome.”

“Each had their advantages, but also undeniable shortcomings.”

“Wu Jie finally decided, making the center point at the junction of the three counties, to requisition as much land as possible around it, the more, the merrier.”

“Wasn’t Zheng hoping for the group to expand into new ventures?”

“Future projects like aerospace, engine test stands, space launch sites, major airports…”

“These facilities would inevitably require a lot of space.”

“And Wu Jie planned, once Blue Planet fully assimilated the fusion technology packet, to build the first experimental nuclear fusion power station right in Science Research City.”

“Therefore, 10,000 acres was too little; even 100,000 acres wasn’t considered much, given the group had ample funds.”

“The real question was whether the three counties could procure so much land for Wu Jie?”

“Having money solves many problems!”

“He wasn’t worried about the villagers getting rich from the relocation; he feared they might not want to relocate at all!”

“…”

“The convoy arrived at the hotel.”

“Lu Songfu personally came to the hotel and arranged a reception dinner.”

“Besides the highway and Science Research City projects, Tianyuan Green Energy Auto planned to build a large electric vehicle industrial base, which was certainly a project worth competing for.”

“After all, the automobile industry has a strong ripple effect, capable of attracting lighting, seating, instrument, and brake manufacturers to set up shop, which would significantly help in job creation and tax revenue growth.”

“And Tang’s Chemical Industry’s Graphene Composite Battery, Tang’s Telecom’s communication equipment…”

“These high-value, low-pollution products being manufactured in Bing City would be ideal.”

“The lively dinner continued until late into the night.”

“The next day, Wu Jie rushed to the Cross-river Bridge Project Department early in the morning.”

“Upon arrival, he saw Chu Yunxuan with flushed cheeks and evasive eyes.”

“Similarly, Tang Xiao looked uneasy, hesitating to speak, appearing somewhat embarrassed.”

“What exactly happened to the two who stayed at the project department overnight…”
