Chapter 103 I will remember yours

When Hu Nianzu, nearly 10,000 kilometers away, spent a lot of money there, Chen Moran, who was far away in Shanghai, was extremely uncomfortable. Although the plaster on his leg was removed, Chen's lame was no longer lame, but abruptly, one of his feet was cut off. Although this leg has been cut off for several months.

But in the past few months, at the last "consultation", thirty-six experts from the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany finally gave him an answer, which was absolutely impossible!

"The first time!"

Standing in the conference room on the second floor of the rental building of the Bund Industrial Company, Chen Moran stretched out a finger in his right hand.

"I want to make this Ministry of Industry flat!"

His eyes stared at as many as ten bridges with different specifications and shapes. Chen Moran's eyes almost spewed fire, almost pressing the impulse to overthrow these beautiful models to the ground.

Xiao Yuren looked at those beautiful models and felt helpless. If it can't be constructed, the model is the model after all!

"Silence, is this bridge really impossible to repair?"

"Repone! How can it not be repaired? Even if our industrial company does not go bankrupt, it will definitely hurt its vitality!"

Thinking of the obstacles that the Ministry of Industry Bureau will set for himself in the future, Chen Moran only hates it. Of course, it is aimed at those Jewish businessmen.

When he was released from prison, Catherine made it very clear that those Jewish chambers of commerce asked him to build the bridge, but when he was halfway through the bridge, he would give him a fatal blow. Because of this reason, almost as soon as he got the news, he began to let those bridge-building experts repair the design plan. The core of the plan was only one. The height of the bridge from the river cannot be less than 200 feet.

There is no problem with the heightening of the bridge. The only problem is that it needs to be extended on a gentle slope. There is no problem in Pudong, where the land is an industrial company. For this reason, the location of the industrial bank building has even been specially adjusted.

The problem is in the Bund. Originally, according to the plan, the opening and closing horizontal bridge with relatively low cost and fast construction speed was built. The level hardly needed to slow down the slope, and it was unrealistic to buy a large amount of land to build the bridge on the Bund. Now it's ready. Even if Chen Moran spends a lot of money to buy the place to build the bridge, no one will sell it.

"Damn it, those Judas planned to build a 20-story building across the bridge!"

He scolded hatefully. If those merchants stood in this room now and gave Chen Moran a submachine gun, he would really sweep the group of people.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll repair a tunnel. Look at that..."

But after only half of the words, Chen Moran closed his voice. It took time and money to repair the tunnel. The most important thing is that those experts have explained that there are technical risks in such a long river crossing tunnel itself, and the geological structure of Shanghai is a mud-based structure, which further increases the risk.

Walking to the window, Chen Moran looked at the 28.6 mu of open space outside the building. Originally, it was the Linjiang warehouse of Qichang Yanghang. This warehouse cost 1.2 million yuan to buy it. If there were no obstruction of those Jewish merchants, the bridge on both sides of Huitong might have started construction.

Those merchants blocked hundreds of thousands of yuan of raw materials purchased by the company into waste. Steel mills and coal mines would almost empty Chen Moran's family. In order to save money on Pudong projects as much as possible, he even did not hesitate to use the method of renting land to build houses, sacrificing the company's short-term interests, but those people let him keep out. Blood.

"What I'm most worried about now is that once the news spreads, the destruction of the company, the Industrial Bank has bought 2 million yuan of Pudong bonds and 3 million Jianghuai Road mining bonds, and in the past few months, the company has issued tens of millions of Pudong bonds, no After the bridge and Pudong, our bonds will become waste paper. At that time, the rush outside the bank and the people who block the company to demand the return of the bonds will be enough to make the company go bankrupt!"

Xiao Yuren frowned, and his face became more and more worried. Although the statement to those experts was to "to build a bridge that shows the strength of industrial companies", if the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry will use the grounds of ensuring the smooth flow of the upper limit of the Huangpu River is 200 feet high. I'm afraid that... with dark eyes, he seemed to see The day when industrial companies were squeezed out.

Chen Moran, who was standing by the window, stared at the bridge with his eyes. The misalignment of time and space only brightened his eyes. Suddenly, he turned back to his desk and drew a simple sketch on the map.

Pudong, a few months ago, this was a piece of farmland, but now it is a construction site, but this construction site is not as grand as expected. It just relies on a horse-drawn carriage to press out a few rammed earth pavements more than ten meters wide. On several large roads in Lujiazui, the workers dug the foundation and began to build the building, and the distance By the Huangpu River, several kilometers from Lujiazui, construction workers began to build factories there.

Through the rain curtain, Shen Shipeng can see people on the construction site wearing hats and raincoats, constantly busy in the cold rain. Although I can't see the expressions on their faces clearly, I can feel their hardships at this time from those slow movements.

It's already September. Although the weather is still a little hot, walking in this heavy rain can feel the chill of autumn rain, but these people are rushing to work on a rainy autumn night. Looking at those who still work hard in the rainy night and under the dim light, Shen Shipeng's expression changed slightly. Down.

"C Cheng Jie, the company's prescribed construction period is short, so it seems that the task is heavy and the time is tight, so the control and arrangement of labor is strict. The people who come to the construction site are divided into three shifts, each of which works for six consecutive hours, and then rests for twelve hours, with four shifts a day. The company also stipulates that people who come to the construction site are not allowed to take leave unless there are special circumstances, let alone absenteeism for no reason; if they are indeed sick, they need to be certified by the medical office. Generally speaking, everyone can still have a good rest.

Aware of the changes on Shen Shipeng's face, Li Zhiyao pointed to the roadside sewer and changed the topic when he said this.

"You see, there are only five large construction sites in Pudong, including bank buildings, Huangpu Sports School, comprehensive factories and large power plants, and 46 buildings built by other people's leased land investment."

"Rent land to build a building?"

Shen Shipeng was stunned. How could there be such a thing?

At this point, Li Zhiyao couldn't help praising the director's careful plan.

"If you don't believe it, since the construction of the Industrial Bank Building started, the land price of 6,7,355 mu in the Pudong Development Zone has rushed up. On this Pudong Road, the middle zone of the Industrial Bank over there, the land price is so high that it is shocking. Some enterprises want to catch up with the wind of Pudong. First, they buy The land of the self-made business building is not enough. The second is that the company also sells it. Now the price of the land here is 26,000 mu. What about ten years later? Therefore, the chairman cleverly chose to rent land and build a house so that everyone can get their own place. In this way, it not only maintains the natural value-added benefits of the land, but also transfers the risk of operating real estate to the tenants and builders. After a certain period of time, the buildings on the land will also be attributed to the landowners. It can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop and made a steady profit. Qiyuan travels to rent land to the company to build a house, renting two mu of land and an annual rent. Thousands. The increase will be held once every two years, and the increase will not exceed 30%. It is agreed that when the 30-year lease period expires, the above-ground buildings will be owned by the company. It is cost-effective, and the money to buy land is enough to build a building!"

"That's true, it's a good deal!"

Shen Shipeng nodded, and it was also beneficial to rent a house.

"Anyway, the company didn't have enough money to develop Pudong for a while. Those people, whether he is a foreign bank or a Chinese businessman, can take the company's drawings and rent land here to build a house as long as they are willing. In this way, the company can use the least amount of silver to handle Pudong. Moreover, they build houses and buildings, and use It is a construction worker. The company makes money on both sides, renting land to make money, building and making money. The company only needs to draft the infrastructure.

When Li Zhiyao was proud, he didn't know that "renting land to build a house" was Chen Moran's helplessness at the beginning. Even when he was forced to do so, he said, "Let's build a road and build a shelf, rent the land to others to build a house, build a house, and collect the sewage fee every month, collect his electricity bill, and charge him. In a word, as long as the fee is charged by the concession, we will all charge it!"

"You see, relying on this to lay eggs, the company has turned Pudong into a large construction site. Some of the warehouses along the river are still warehouses, just used to pile up all kinds of building materials, but some have become the dormitories of construction workers. Nearly 20,000 workers have been recruited from northern Anhui, Shandong, northern Jiangsu, Henan and other places in a short time. In less than two months, this place has flourished. The company has built more than 100 small markets here, and can charge more than 5,000 yuan a month.

"Boss Chen is quite good at doing his best!"

When Shen Shipeng said this sentence, it seemed to be a little mocking, but Li Zhiyao just smiled. His classmate was good, but his surname was a little strange.

"What the chairman usually hates most is waste. Let's take the current Pudong as an example. The surface soil excavated when digging the foundation and sewer is directly used to make the roadbed for paving, and the lower layer of clay is sent to the brick factory in the Linyangjing River to make bricks. The broken bricks that build the building are broken and mixed in the rammed earth road foundation, which is the best use is fundamental. You have to spend a hundred taels of silver to do things outside. In industrial companies, you only need ninety-five taels, and those five taels can be used to do more things. It is this kind of thing that makes Pudong's bonds rise by 13 points in the market.

Li Zhiyao looked at his old friend staring at the window.

"Cei, in fact, for projects like you and me, what we need is just like the chairman, with great courage and courage. Let's take the Industrial Bank Building as an example. As soon as it is completed, it can be the tallest building in Asia, the landmark of Shanghai, and can be displayed to the world. The new trend of our country, the chairman's cares so much, isn't it to do it with a small amount of money?

My friend's rhetorical question only silenced Shen Shipeng. Since he obtained a master's degree in geotechnical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ten years ago, he has returned to China three times, but every time he was disappointed. His expertise is not needed in China. In the United States, although he tried his best to catch up with his peers, The discrimination of his skin color has made him out of the geotechnical association.

"Furren, I want to ask you something!"

Shen Shipeng hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Zhiyao seriously.

"Is there a problem with that bridge?"

In the large conference room on the third floor of the industrial company, thirty-six British, American and German bridge and geotechnical experts hired by industrial companies at high salaries gathered at the conference table at this time. There seemed to be a model on the conference table covered with a white cloth.

A month ago, Shen Shipeng, who received an invitation from the United States to return to Shanghai from the United States, unexpectedly saw several acquaintances in the presence of experts from various countries. When they saw Shen Shipeng enter the meeting, they seemed to take it for granted, if it hadn't been for the boss's standing. There, maybe they will get up and chat with Shen Shipeng.

Chen Moran, who stood at the end of the conference table, was also stunned when he saw one more Chinese among the experts in the venue. Whether it was the Industrial Bank Building or the Huangpu River Bridge, or even the construction experts in the design institute of the construction company, they were almost all dominated by foreign engineers. As for a few projects in China. It's just a fight.

"Shan Shipeng!"

He glanced at the sign in front of the man, and Chen Moran remembered the name in his heart. This was the second "Chinese engineer" he knew who was qualified to attend such a meeting.

"Guys, you have told me that on the ground outside the window, it is impossible to build a bridge with a seaway height of not less than 200 feet, right?"

While Chen Moran was speaking, Shen Renpeng looked through the information in his hand again. In the past week, after he signed the confidentiality contract, he began to study the company's bridge construction site on the Bund, and the quiet height of the 200-foot channel also entangled him.

"Mr. Chen, unless you can build no less than 0.5 miles of bridge land to the west, it is impossible to achieve this requirement, and I have repeated many times that the horizontal bridge is conducive to the driving of the carriage!"

Holding the glasses frame, Phils said politely that because of the signing of the confidentiality contract, he could not seek advice from his domestic counterparts, and the conditions proposed by Chen Moran in front of him themselves violated the basic principles of building a bridge.

"As an employee of your company, I have the obligation to remind Mr. Chen that the 200-foot high bridge has no advantage over the two-channel opening and closing bridge."

"Is this your opinion?"

Chen Moran, who had a smile on his face, asked back, and almost all the people in the conference room nodded.

"Yes, in your opinion, due to the limitation of geographical space, it is impossible to build a bridge on the west coast, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Moran's face showed a proud look.

"You think it's impossible, but in my opinion, it's always possible as long as you are willing to break the routine!"

When they were puzzled, Chen Moran winned at Zhu Jialiang standing against the wall in the conference room. Zhu Liang hurriedly applied the strands on the wall, and the white cloth was dragged into the air by four ropes. When people saw the model, their faces were full of surprise.

What attracts them is not the design of this double-tower double-sided cable-stayed bridge, and his reading bridge, the east bank is still the traditional high bridge design, while the leadbridge on the west bank is made into two double-curve spirals. This strange bridge attracts everyone, and in Shen Shipeng's eyes, the shape of this bridge is like a disk. It's like a dragon.

When the experts were attracted by this unique high bridge, Chen Moran seemed to be a little proud. Fortunately, he had stayed in Shanghai a few years ago and passed through the Nanpu Bridge many times. Naturally, he had some impression of the multi-curve spiral bridge. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have been forced to death by those merchants.

"Tell me, can such a bridge be built?"

Although he was amazed at the clever design of the bridge, Firth still saw from a professional point of view that the design of the bridge was not very reasonable, but its significance was the idea of the bridge. Out of professional defense, he still put forward his own opinions.

"Technically, there is no problem at all, but, Mr. Chen, this kind of double-curve spiral bridge may not be conducive to the passage of the carriage due to the slope of the bridge!"

"It's the era of cars now, and the carriage will definitely be eliminated by the car! Gentlemen, the bridge we are going to build is a bridge facing the 20th century, not a monument to the 19th century!"

His eyes stared at the bridge, but Shen Shipeng combined the area of the bridge under his heart. After a while, he raised his own questions.

"Chairman Chen, if the double-curve spiral approach bridge is built on land, the attraction will become smaller, and the slope will be larger, and the number of floors will naturally be higher, which is more unfavorable to vehicle driving. The boundary of the company's bridge to the Bund is only 382 feet..."

When putting forward his own opinion, Shen Shipeng took the pen in his right hand and drew a "design-compliant" multi-curve spiral bridge with a pencil on the back of the material. The specification is smaller, the number of layers is more, and the corresponding bridge deck is half smaller.

"In this case, the bridge is too narrow!"

"Then you have to extend the bridge into the river!"

Another simple outline, a bridge half built on land and half built on the river appears on paper.

He stared at Shen Shipeng with both eyes, and there was no doubt that he left a deep impression on Chen Moran.

"I just want to provide a suggestion. As for professional issues, it's up to you to think about. In short, your responsibility is to design and supervise this bridge!"

Stand straight and walk towards the window and look at the Huangpu River outside the window. At this time, you can see thousands of tons of iron ships on the Huangpu River, as well as Chinese and Western sailing ships.

"Then you come up with a plan. You just need to remember one requirement. I hope to see a bridge across both sides of the Huangpu River in the shortest time!"

At this time, Chen Moran, who held a cigar in his hand, sneered on his face. The bridge may become a coordinates of Shanghai and a symbol of industrial companies in the future. It will also remind him that the reason why this unique bridge is unique is that the owner of this land cannot control everything here.

"I will remember you!"

The cigar between his fingers was held between his lips, and the sneer became thicker and thicker.
