Chapter 227 The Furniture Factory Under Construction
"One toad has four legs, two toads have seven legs, what does it mean?" Zhang Junping spent the next day wondering about the meaning of what the old lady told him.
"There can't be one who is disabled and only has three legs, right?" Zhang Junping thought jokingly.
He knew that the old lady definitely didn't say it casually, there must be a deep meaning in it.
This may be the key to advancing to master level.
On this day, Zhang Junping had no intention of doing anything else. He was always thinking about the old lady's words.
In the next few days, Zhang Junping seemed to be in a daze. Not only could he not be energetic when repairing furniture, but he also did not do the things he usually loved to do.
If Huang Xue didn't know the inside story, she almost thought Zhang Junping was tired of him.
These days, Zhang Junping has been staying in the studio thinking about the meaning of that sentence. At first, he had a clue, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally it turned into a mess.
Feeling depressed, Zhang Junping simply stopped thinking about it, said hello to his eldest sister, and rode away from the furniture factory.
Riding a bicycle and wandering aimlessly on the street, looking at the scenery on the street, blowing in the wind, my depressed mood improved a lot.
The stone weighing on my heart seemed to be much lighter.
Aimlessly, I came to the new furniture factory in Jinsong Street without knowing it.
Construction has started here.
The construction unit is Engineering Division No. 5, a very powerful state-owned construction company.
Construction of ten dormitory buildings also started at the same time, and the construction unit was First Residential Construction Company.
Zhang Junping originally did not plan to start the construction of the dormitory building now because he did not have the funds.
He planned to wait until he went to Xiangjiang to find a way to raise some funds before starting construction.
As a result, the hospitality was hard to refuse.
Construction can only be started in advance, and the dormitory buildings can be divided separately and handed over to the First Residential Construction Company.
The residential construction company and the fifth engineering department are both very powerful units.
In the past few decades, dormitories for various units and factories in Chaoyang District were basically built by them.
At this time, the entire construction site was in full swing, and it was no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people.
Because the site is spacious enough, three factory buildings are being constructed at the same time in the fifth area of the project.
Who said that engineering conditions in the 1980s were backward?
It seems that Zhang Junping is not lagging behind at all. He has bulldozers, forklifts, trucks, mixers and other construction machinery.
Just no excavator.
At this time, the foundations of three factory buildings are being laid, and the brick walls of the other three have begun.
The foundation is all made of reinforced concrete according to Zhang Junping's requirements.
Zhang Junping did not force the use of concrete for the walls, but the columns and beams were made of concrete, and the rest were brick walls.
Even the brick walls are very solid and very consistent with the architectural characteristics of the 1960s and 1970s. They are all 1950s walls.
According to Zhang Junping's idea, two or four walls are enough. Anyway, in a few years, the factory will be demolished and relocated.
However, the chief engineer of the Fifth Division gave an example from one factory to another. Everyone did this, with a five-zero wall. Only in this way can the quality be guaranteed and it will not break down after a hundred years.
He couldn't say, it doesn't take a hundred years, I just need to guarantee that it won't break down in ten years.
If he dares to say this, people will dare not accept his projects and classify him as a speculator.
Therefore, in the end, I had no choice but to reluctantly accept the suggestions from the Fifth Office, adopt other people's standards, and use the Wu0 Wall.
I walked around the construction site and checked the progress and quality.
There is nothing to say about quality. In this era, state-owned enterprises are the guarantee of quality.
Not long after Zhang Junping walked around, several middle-aged men wearing safety helmets came over.
"Welcome Director Zhang to come and guide the work!" A middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled and extended his hand to Zhang Junping.
"Hello, Mr. Sun, I'm here to check on our progress." Zhang Junping shook hands with the visitor.
This is the chief engineer at the construction site. Zhang Junping has had many interactions with him before, and he is a truly capable engineer.
He perfected the factory drawings, so everyone is familiar with them.
"We, Section Chief Zhao, are back at the office for a meeting..." Chief Engineer Sun explained.
Section Chief Zhao is the project manager. Of course, in this era we are not called project managers, we are called people in charge.
"It's okay, I'm just a little free today, so I came over to take a look.
I see you are progressing very quickly! There are quite a few people there, there must be three to four hundred people, right?"
"There are more than 520 workers in total. Once the three factory buildings over there are basically completed, some more people will be hired.
Taking advantage of the slack season now, when people are easier to find, we can speed up the progress." Mr. Sun introduced with a smile.
In the 1980s, state-owned construction companies began to recruit large numbers of temporary workers from surrounding rural areas.
"I like to hear this. If you finish the work one day earlier, I can put it into production one day earlier." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Director Zhang, we will do our best to build the factory for you in advance." Sun Gong promised loudly.
Zhang Junping smiled and nodded. Only a technical person dared to speak like this.
If it were Section Chief Zhao, he would never say that. If it could be done in ten days, he would say it would take fifteen days.
Accompanied by General Engineer Sun, Zhang Junping walked around the construction site again and left without staying any longer.
Then, we came to the dormitory area, where the work was also in full swing.
The progress is no slower than that there. Five buildings have been built to the third floor, and the foundations of another five are also being laid.
The dormitories built by Zhang Junping are all six-story brick-concrete structures.
The floor structure and layout were designed by Zhang Junping, and then the residential construction company improved the structure.
In fact, there is nothing to improve. It is a six-story building. Except for a few structural columns and lintels, they are made of concrete. The other floors are made of prefabricated floor slabs.
Buildings in this era had prefabricated floors.
Regarding residences, Zhang Junping did not bother to build small apartments or tube houses, but only three-bedroom apartments.
Moreover, they are all facing the sun on three sides and have transparent structures from the north to the south.
It was this structural layout that impressed the residential construction company and agreed to adopt Zhang Junping's design. They only improved the structural mechanics adjustments.
In this era, most residential buildings still have two bedrooms, and there are very few three-bedroom apartments.
It is possible to have sunlight on three sides, but there is almost no transparency from the north to the south.
Therefore, after Zhang Junping explained his design concept, the chief engineer of the residential construction company was convinced and agreed to his design plan.
After walking around the dormitory area and looking at the quality of the project, Zhang Junping declined the banquet from the residential construction company and rode back to Liulichang.
Back in Liulichang, as soon as he entered the courtyard of the furniture factory, someone shouted to him.
"Brother Zhang!"
"Brother Li, hahaha! I finally have you back!" Zhang Junping saw the other person clearly and was immediately overjoyed. He laughed and stepped forward to hug the other person.
