Chapter 415: Parents' endless worries
Near the end of August, Zhou Jing returned to Tangdu again, driving himself.
We set out from the capital early in the morning and arrived in Tangdu at around eight o'clock in the evening. The next morning, I went to the construction site with Bai Xiyao to take a look. After having breakfast early, we set out for Yulin City and first arrived in Qing County.
The power and network engineering of the Qingxian New City project was in progress. Zhou Jing arrived at the county town and went to the construction site before getting off work. He did not greet the project manager Yang An in advance. Zhou Jing called Yang An only after he arrived at the new city, intending to conduct a surprise inspection.
The new city of Qing County was built by flattening several mountains. The entire new city is much higher than the flat surface. From a distance, you can see that the new city surrounded by mountains is located on a small plain. For a poor county, the new city is the largest project in Qing County's history.
When Zhou Jing was in junior high school, the new city project was in the process of pushing the mountain. There were bulldozers and dump trucks working on it, and the wind was blowing and the dust was flying. It was a spectacular sight.
Qing County is a poor county with no resources and no geographical advantages, but it is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. This ordinary town in this land has produced more than one provincial high-ranking official.
Zhou Jing drove up the slope of Xincheng Road, and his view suddenly opened up. Buildings stood on a flat land, and different construction units were working in an orderly manner. In the open space at the intersection, Zhou Jing recognized the trucks and sheds of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. at a glance.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Zhou Jing drove back in an Audi A6L. Yang An, who was waiting at the intersection in advance, did not recognize him immediately. It was only after Zhou Jing stopped the car and got out that Yang An recognized him and trotted over to speak.
"Did it go well?"
Zhou Jing has traveled a long distance in the past two days. Yesterday, he drove for twelve or thirteen hours from BJ to Tangdu, and today he hurried back to Qingxian from Tangdu. It would not be easy for an ordinary person, but Zhou Jing is not an ordinary person.
"Everything is going well. Mr. Zhou, please take a rest inside."
"It's getting late, let's go take a look."
The reason why Zhou Jing did not inform Yang An in advance was to conduct a surprise inspection to see whether Yang An, the branch manager and project leader, was competent.
"The main cables along the Central Avenue have been laid, but the progress of different teams in different areas varies."
Yang An ran to the work shed and got a new safety helmet for Zhou Jing, then led the way and introduced the construction situation as we walked.
People from the Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. project team wearing blue work clothes and blue helmets can be seen everywhere at the construction site. Unlike the people from other project construction units who either do not wear helmets, do not button their helmets, do not button their clothes, or even wear short sleeves instead of work clothes, the people from Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. are very standardized. Even when the weather is hot, everyone is very standardized.
Through comparison, it can be seen that Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is professional enough, both in terms of personal standards and operational technical level.
"Look here."
Zhou Jing stopped at the main cable trench that had not yet been buried, and jumped down to check a cable below that was almost as thick as his thigh.
"Be careful, Mr. Zhou."
Yang An jumped down immediately afterwards.
Zhou Jing first checked the manufacturer of the trunk cable and confirmed that it was Chint Cable. Then he walked forward along the ditch, observing as he walked, until he found the special seal for delivery from Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. printed on the cable.
All equipment and cables of the Yulin Branch of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. are shipped out from the Tangdu warehouse. They undergo strict inspection and registration before being shipped out from Tangdu. As long as it is confirmed that they are shipped from the Tangdu warehouse, it can be proved that no counterfeit or inferior products have been replaced in the Yulin Branch project. A seal will be stamped every few meters before the cables are shipped out, so that there will be no mistakes.
This main cable is buried directly in the soil, which is conducive to heat dissipation. The cable has several layers of insulation, each of which is waterproof and insulating. A protective layer will be put on before burial. Under normal circumstances, it can be buried in the soil for a hundred years without any problems.
"We must strictly control the joints, and every joint must undergo various tests."
There was no problem with the cable, so Zhou Jing left the ditch.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."
Yang An nodded and said.
Afterwards, Zhou Jing checked the branch lines under construction to ensure that all cables and equipment were in good condition.
"Mr. Zhou."
The project technicians and team leaders perked up when they saw their boss.
Zhou Jing nodded, came to a dedicated wellhead for electrical and optical cables, and went down to check it personally.
"Mr. Zhou, I'll go down first. Wait for me to get the flashlight."
Yang An ran to the nearest well where work was ongoing, got a flashlight, and went down into the well first. After going down, he took out the things in the well.
There are densely packed and orderly arranged cables in the underground well passages.
After Zhou Jing went down, he took a flashlight and checked every cable. The underground well here is a trunk power well. The thickest cables and optical cables are as thick as a man's arm, and the thinnest are as thick as a wrist. They are the cables connecting various areas of the new city.
"Which cable is the hospital's?"
Zhou Jing looked at Yang An and asked with a smile.
"All of these belong to the hospital. The thickest one is the public cable for the outpatient building. This one is the elevator line. This one is the operating room line. This one is the emergency center line. This one is the inpatient department's comprehensive cable."
Yang An pointed to a dozen cables on the left side of the underground well and introduced them one by one.
Listening to Yang An's answer, Zhou Jing checked the markings on the cable and found that Yang An's answer was correct.
In the entire county new town, the county hospital consumes the largest amount of electricity and has the highest stability requirements. In order to ensure the safety of the hospital's electricity use, each important subsystem and important equipment in the hospital is equipped with an independent line and connected to the main distribution room of the hospital line in the metropolitan power grid. When power is tight, other units can cut off power, but the hospital cannot.
"Be sure to clearly mark both ends of each cable."
Zhou Jing was very satisfied with Yang An's answer. As the project leader, he was able to accurately answer the specific purpose of each cable based on the cable sorting and thickness without looking at the markings on the cables, proving that he was familiar with the project.
"Don't worry Zhou Jing, I will check every cable myself."
Yang An did not dare to take it lightly, especially since the hospital divisions could cause problems that could affect human lives.
Zhou Jing nodded, grabbed the escalator and climbed out of the underground well. After leaving the underground well, he added: "Not only must the electrical well be waterproof and ventilated, but we must also communicate well with the unit responsible for water supply and drainage. We cannot allow problems with the drainage system to affect the power grid system."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Yang An carried a notebook and paper with him and took notes while listening.
"Mr. Zhou."
When we arrived at the work area, the technical director and the power engineer came over to say hello.
The two were sent by Bai Xiyao from the company headquarters to be responsible for the Qingxian New City project. They are both professionals in urban power grids and network systems, and each has an annual salary of more than one hundred thousand.
Professional matters in large projects must be done by professionals. Power engineering not only involves electricity and equipment, but also a series of technologies such as waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, etc. Any mistake in any link may cause serious accidents.
"Thank you for your hard work. How are the climate and eating habits here?"
Zhou Jing nodded and said.
"It's a habit. Thank you Mr. Zhou for your concern."
"The weather here is quite good in the summer, not as hot and muggy as Tangdu."
The technical director and the power engineer said successively.
"If you need anything in life, just tell Manager Yang." Zhou Jing looked at Yang An and said, "They are the most indispensable people in the company. Their families must be treated well when they come to visit."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Yang An said humbly.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for the compliment. Without the company platform, we are nothing."
The technical director and the power engineer were very humble in front of Zhou Jing, and Zhou Jing's humane arrangements made them feel very comfortable.
After a quick look around the construction site, it was time to get off work. Yang An wanted to arrange dinner for Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing was originally going to go home for dinner, but after thinking about it, he asked Yang An to book a large private room in the hotel and invite the technical director, power engineer, and other managers and technicians of the new city project to dinner. After receiving the notice, the project management staff led the ordinary workers to the restaurant for dinner after get off work. The main project leaders and technicians, a total of 15 people, followed Zhou Jing to the hotel. The hotel was the Wharton Hotel opposite the county new city. It was the most luxurious hotel in the county. The technical director and power engineer lived in this hotel.
Yang An drove the company's car and took four people to the hotel to order food.
Zhou Jing's car followed behind with the technical director and the power engineer. There were Huazi in the car. Zhou Jing took out two boxes and gave one to each of them and said, "You can smoke in the car. I don't smoke and often forget to bring lighters. You can light them yourselves."
Zhou Jing is both generous and respectful of talent, without losing the demeanor of a boss.
"Mr. Zhou is too polite."
The two acted flattered and were full of respect for the young boss who was much younger than them. They could see a unique temperament in Zhou Jing, and he was the kind of successful person worth following.
Knowing that the boss really didn't smoke, the technical director and the electrical engineer accepted the cigarettes but did not open them and smoke them in the car.
"Did Mr. Zhou come back from BJ today?"
Said the Technical Director.
"We arrived in Tangdu yesterday."
"."
When they arrived at the hotel, Yang An greeted Zhou Jing and the other two at the hotel entrance. He trotted over and prepared to open the car door for Zhou Jing. The electrical engineer who got off the car first opened the door for Zhou Jing immediately.
"Mr. Zhou's new car is so cool."
"How could a boss like Mr. Zhou have only one car?"
The technicians whispered in private that Zhou Jing's four-ring A6L was not as domineering as the Prado, but it seemed more stable.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Jing took out two packs of cigarettes from the trunk and asked Yang An to distribute them on the dining table. Zhou Jing doesn't smoke, but there is always a shortage of cigarettes in the car. From top to bottom in the company, his grasp of the ways of the world is impeccable.
The others had already arrived at the hotel private room, and Zhou Jing and the technical director and electrical engineer were the last to go in.
"Mr. Zhou."
Seeing the boss walk in, everyone stood up.
"sit down!"
Zhou Jing raised his hand and said.
"The cigarettes were given to everyone by President Zhou."
Yang An opened two boxes of Huazi cigarettes and sent them to each person, one box each.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Their surprise came rather suddenly, and they thought that the boss was very considerate.
"."
Zhou Jing did not drink while driving. He drank tea with them. After the dishes were served, he ate symbolically for a while and then went home. Zhou Jing could not let go of the others. Zhou Jing did not understand the specific technology of the project of Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. There was nothing to talk about if he stayed too long. The boss invited his subordinates to dinner to win their hearts, and there was no need to stay with them until the end.
"Didn't you drink?"
When her son called to say there was a dinner party, Wu Suqin was worried that Zhou Jing would drive after drinking. He was already tired after a two-day long journey, and it would be worrying if he drank and drove again.
"Didn't drink."
Zhou Jing blew a breath to his mother.
"Eat some more, Jiajia, how about that?"
Knowing that her son did not eat well at the dinner, Wu Suqin kept some food for him.
"It's fine!" Zhou Jing ate some watermelon first, "You don't need to go to BJ for now."
"Okay, is there anything else you want to do this time?"
Wu Suqin said as she sat next to her son.
"Let's talk about the New Town Information System project."
Zhou Jing wants to take advantage of his proximity to get all the projects that his hometown deserves. If he packages up the information system projects of all units in the county's new city, then Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. can get more than 300 million yuan worth of projects from the county's new city.
After arriving in Yu City, Zhou Jing planned to inquire about whether there were any software projects in Yu City. With Zhou Jing's current status in Yu City, it would be easy for him to ask for projects.
“What exactly does the information system include?”
Wu Suqin had no idea about this.
"Have you ever been to a big hospital in the city? From registering and entering basic information to diagnosis, physical examination, medical records, payment, hospitalization, etc., everything is computerized. A large database and the systems of various departments and divisions make the entire hospital like a regional network system."
Zhou Jing patiently explained to his mother.
"It sounds complicated. If something goes wrong, the problem will definitely be serious. Is it possible to do it so soon after the company was established?"
After hearing this, Wu Suqin felt that it was difficult to think about it. If such a complex system could not be developed, the most that could be done would be to lose money. However, if there were loopholes or problems, the company would definitely be held responsible.
"Nothing is unachievable."
Zhou Jing said with a smile.
"You have to do it according to your ability. Is it harder or easier than those two games?"
Wu Suqin sighed. Parents are worried when their children have no future, but they are even more worried when their children are too successful. In more than a year, her son's business has expanded so much that Wu Suqin is worried that her son will be too ambitious and fall. People are more likely to fall when they are most proud of themselves.
“Easier.”
Zhou Jing comforted his mother, saying that in fact, the development of the hospital's database and information system was much more complicated than Fun Elimination Chamber and Rhythm Master.
Wu Suqin felt a little relieved. "Is the new city going smoothly?"
Zhou Jing's company is in charge of the power system and network system of the county's new city. Wu Suqin is proud but also worried, fearing that if it fails to meet the standards or something goes wrong in the future, it will be a serious matter.
"No problem, don't worry, everything we use is genuine. The two engineers in charge of the technology are both top students with an annual salary of over one million. One graduated from Tangdu Jiaotong University, and the other graduated from BJ University of Science and Technology."
Zhou Jing said, "I can see my mother is worried."
Wu Suqin nodded, "A gentleman should earn money in a proper way and should not make money against his conscience."
My mother is always nagging. In the past, Zhou Jing would have been impatient, but now that Zhou Jing is about to become a parent, he can understand his parents' feelings.
"There is a cable company called Aokai in Tangdu that provided fake and inferior cables to a subway project. It was reported in the newspaper some time ago. Has your company ever used the cables from this company?"
Zhou Guozhong, who had just returned home, said that he learned about this news when he read the Huashang Daily a few days ago.
"It was our company that reported it. We found that their cables were substandard when we first used them in July. The subway cable problems were exposed and were reported on CCTV news."
Zhou Jing smiled and said.
"That company is so bold that it even dares to tamper with government projects."
Wu Suqin was completely reassured about the materials used by her son's company.
