These days, it's hard to borrow trucks and tractors to do some public welfare projects, but for this kind of public welfare work that benefits the surrounding communities, just by calling out on the street, you can gather one to two hundred residents to volunteer to help.
The Northeast Construction Corps Guesthouse is willing to continue to pay to fill this gap, and the local street office is very grateful.
The street director walked around the street carrying a noodle gong, and was immediately followed by one to two hundred men and women carrying various tools.
Wages?
Does not exist.
All residents are volunteering to help.
If a family cannot send a laborer to participate in this activity, the family members will be too ashamed to face others.
There are also many employees who are used to eating from the same pot and just waiting to die at work. As soon as they get off work, they rush back home and work hard.
The soil used for construction was dug from an uninhabited field nearby. Hundreds of porters continuously carried the soil and poured it into the sinkhole that seemed to have no bottom.
The most important stones for construction and landfill come from the mountains on the outskirts of the city.
This is also the place where Zhang Hongcheng Guesthouse paid the most money.
Fortunately, Zhang Hongcheng has made a lot of friends in Huacheng recently, and the trucks sent by various units as a courtesy only cost him the cost price.
But it was just the cost price, and the total cost was nearly three thousand yuan!
If Zhang Hongcheng had not known that the sinkhole was only twenty meters deep, others would have thought that given the depth of the sinkhole, even if ten thousand or twenty thousand were thrown in, not a single sound would be heard.
As soon as the house exchange procedures between the supply and marketing company and Zhang Hongcheng were completed and the remaining payment was handed over, cheers were heard from the construction site.
After almost a week of filling, everyone finally saw the bottom of the sinkhole.
Many residents asked for leave from their work units and continued to work late into the night!
…
Huacheng Bus Company.
Everyone in the dispatch room felt their scalps tingling when they saw the table full of letters from the public.
Is this bus driver messing up again?
One or two hundred letters from the public were enough to alarm the leadership of the head office.
Everyone opened the envelopes with trepidation and read them one by one, and only then did they feel relieved.
It turned out that a group of residents on the same street had collectively written a letter requesting that a total of five bus routes pass through their area again.
They actually filled up the most troublesome sinkhole on that street and paved it with cement!
The bus company immediately conducted an investigation and found that a well-informed bus driver had deviated from the original route that day and passed through that street again.
There was no bus stop on the dirt road where we deviated before, so it cannot be considered a mistake on the part of the bus drivers.
Of course, they didn't know that these bus drivers had been given a bag of Zhongnanhai cigarettes at the previous stop.
People from the river shipping company also rushed to the old wharf the next day.
"With a little repair, we can get the dock open again!"
The master team leader was smiling happily.
He remembered that when he was an apprentice, he started at this dock. It had been abandoned for so many years. If it could be reopened, it would be a wish come true for him.
"I remember our dock office was located over there, right?"
The old master pointed in a direction with familiarity.
It was a row of bungalows that had obviously been renovated. It was a good place to serve as both a dock office and a warehouse.
"If we had known this sinkhole could be filled, we should have opposed the company's transfer of this property to the supply and marketing company years ago."
The master's eldest apprentice suddenly lowered his voice and said with a smile.
"Master, I think we could suggest that we have our superiors talk to the supply and marketing company. We can hide the fact that the tiankeng has been filled from them and buy it back at a low price..."
His master glared at his eldest disciple fiercely.
"My eyesight is blurry, but I am not blind!"
"Didn't you see the new sign outside their house?"
Only then did several apprentices and technicians discover that there was a cardboard sign hanging outside the house in front.
"The warehouse of the Northeast Construction Corps' Huacheng Guesthouse!"
"From the Northeast?"
"Then maybe... probably... they're not very aware of the changes that have taken place at the docks?"
The old master squinted his eyes and stared for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"It's a bad idea, but there's no other place more suitable for a warehouse and office than here!"
Zhang Hongcheng is a person who likes to make friends. Faced with the clerk from the river transportation company who came to his house obviously to take advantage of him, he did not show any sign of being angry.
"I'm so sorry. I filled the hole and I hired someone to shovel the dirt off the bluestone slabs. If your company doesn't come again, I'll take the initiative to help clean up the old dock next."
"So your company thinks I should understand the meaning of this?"
"Hey, Director Xiao Zhang. Based on the different divisions of labor among GMs, that location is more suitable for our river transportation company."
"So I didn't say I wasn't willing to give it to your company, right?"
"Your company is well-known for its generous benefits. I heard from a friend that in the past two years, your river transportation company has been the only one in the Flower City area to build employee housing!"
The clerk of the river transport company did not expect that the man in front of him would dare to extort money from him openly.
"Director Zhang, since I'm willing to come to negotiate, I'm here with sincerity."
"There's no need to force our river transport company to ask the leaders for permission. Just give this area to us directly, right?"
Faced with the threatening tone, Zhang Hongcheng smiled even more brightly.
"Our guesthouse is directly under the Corps Office, and the property over there is nominally managed by our Corps Office."
