Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

A group of people came to the temporary shed on the construction site and discussed on the spot how to build the residential building.

As the on-site person in charge of the construction team, Director Li spoke first.

"Leader Nie, Director Chen, I admit that I am not very good at construction.

But anyway, I have learned from the master for many years.

Even my master builds houses in this way. To reinforce the house, we can add ring beams on the basis of each layer of bricks.

This will ensure the overall structure of the house. As for the typhoons and earthquakes mentioned by Director Chen.

I don't think typhoons are a big problem, but as for earthquakes, it depends on how big the earthquake is.

I don't think a normal earthquake would be a big problem, but let's say an earthquake of magnitude 8 or 9.

No house can withstand such an earthquake. An earthquake this big must only happen once in a hundred years.

As for the lightning protection method mentioned by Director Chen, I thought about it and decided that I can only learn from the method used in the Forbidden City.

The four steps of each house are covered with metal, connected with metal and buried deep underground.

I wonder what Leader Nie and Chen Changan think of this plan? "

Although this is the best solution Director Li can think of.

Unfortunately, Chen Changan was still not satisfied.

“I think the brick-concrete structure you are using now cannot withstand earthquakes.

The brick-concrete structure uses prefabricated panels to transfer the weight of the upper layer to the lower wall.

It is relatively simple to construct, but its quality is not as good as the frame structure.”

When Chiang Kai-shek heard that Chen Changan was going to use a frame structure, he immediately said.

"Director Chen, this is just a residential area, there is no need to use a frame structure, right?

Frame structures are currently only used in some major industrial projects.

Such as large workshops, railway stations, or some important public facilities.

There is really no need to use frame structures for residential buildings. Yours is a complete waste.”

Compared with Director Li, the construction team's leader, Lao Jiang, is obviously much more professional than Director Li.

After Uncle Nie understood what brick-concrete structure is and what frame structure is.

He also somewhat disagreed with Chen Changan's suggestion.

The car manufacturer has money, but they can’t spend it like this, right?

"Changan, I think a brick-concrete structure is also OK. The building in the ministry also has a brick-concrete structure.

I think it is economical and strong enough, why don’t you consider it.”

Faced with everyone's misunderstanding and disagreement, Chen Changan asked Lao Jiang.

"I just want to ask, can a brick-concrete structure with a ring beam withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake?"

Chiang Kai-shek immediately became unhappy.

"Director Chen, I dare say that no one in the current city of Sijiu dares to say that it can withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake.

Even the frame structure you mentioned cannot guarantee to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8.

Do you know how strong an 8.0 magnitude earthquake is? Who can guarantee that? Who dares to give you a guarantee?

In addition, regarding the magnitude 8 earthquake you mentioned, you know that our country has kept records of earthquakes.

How many earthquakes with a magnitude of 8 or above have occurred? I tell you, only two or three.

If you ask me to guarantee that there will never be an 8.0 magnitude earthquake in New Taipei City, I cannot guarantee that.

But for that little bit of illusory probability problem.

Are all the buildings in the entire city of Sijiu going to use frame structures because of this possible magnitude 8 earthquake?

Do you know how much cement our country produces in a year?

Do you know how much it would cost to build an entire neighborhood plan out of concrete?

With this money, you can do anything else but use it to build a house.

I can assure you that our brick-concrete structure will not have any problems for at least fifty years."

“Even if the frame structure cannot withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake, it is still stronger than a brick-concrete structure.

The community plan of the automobile factory was funded by the automobile factory, and some units wish we would spend more money.

Regarding the issue of earthquakes, I just want to say that Beijing is located in several earthquake zones.

The surrounding area is likely to experience an earthquake every few years.

The workers in an automobile factory are the factory's valuable assets.

The car manufacturer needs to be responsible for each of them. You can say I am willful.

But I don’t want to see the workers in the car factory lose their homes because of the earthquake.”

Old Jiang obviously wanted to argue with Chen Changan, but was interrupted by Uncle Nie.

After learning about the pros and cons of brick-concrete structure and frame structure, Uncle Nie actually prefers brick-concrete structure.

Just like what Chiang Kai-shek said, it is not worth the cost to spend such a huge amount of money just to resist an 8.0 magnitude earthquake that may occur at any time.

There are so many advantages to brick-concrete structures, even after knowing the price.

Brick-concrete structure has become the best choice for this community plan.

However, Chen Changan's words changed Uncle Nie's opinion.

Some things cannot be viewed from only one side, but must be viewed from multiple aspects.

Just like what Chen Changan just said, some units would like the car factory to spend more money.

The automobile factory retains some of its foreign exchange exports.

Although the amount is not much, after such a long period of time, there are still quite a few people who have foreign exchange belonging to the automobile factory.

Many people have long been eyeing the foreign exchange belonging to the automobile factory, but they have always been suffering from a lack of excuses.

Except for Chen Changan, no one dared to touch this money, as the higher-ups had already given the order on this matter.

But even for Chen Changan, this money is not easy to move.

Chen Changan wanted to use foreign exchange, but if it was a little, it would be fine. If it was too much, someone would definitely be unwilling.

How can your automobile factory use foreign exchange? To introduce advanced production lines from abroad?

First of all, you also need to see whether the foreign exchange saved by your automobile factory is sufficient.

I want to use foreign exchange to buy something again, but I don’t need to apply for it or file a report?

If they don't give you approval, and you can just use domestic equipment, why do you still use imported ones?

You cannot refute the statement that it is a waste of national foreign exchange.

Instead, if we use this foreign exchange to exchange for the construction of community plans, these people will not object.

Chen Changan used foreign exchange to build the house, and all the building materials were paid for with foreign exchange.

The superior units that provide construction materials can get some foreign exchange to a certain extent.

This, of course, suddenly became a matter of wishing the auto plant would spend more money on its community programs.

Even if they owe money, they are willing to bring the construction materials to the automobile factory first.

Thinking of this, Uncle Nie said to Lao Jiang.

“Lao Jiang, do as Director Chen said and use the frame structure.

If it is built more solidly, even if it cannot withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, it can at least withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7.5.

You don't need to worry about building materials and costs.

The car industry is richer than you think."

Old Chiang looked at Uncle Nie and really didn't understand why Uncle Nie changed his mind so quickly.

He was clearly on my side just now, how come he changed his attitude so quickly?

However, as an old subordinate of Uncle Nie, Uncle Nie spoke up.

Of course, Uncle Nie has his reasons, which have been verified time and time again.

Lao Jiang chose to believe Uncle Nie. After standing at attention, he wanted to shout loudly.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
