Chapter 1485 Parent-child activities, material price increases

Su Qinghe is in the last year of kindergarten and will be in the first grade next year.

Before today, the kindergarten had organized many parent-child activities, all of which were participated by Lei Jiali, but Su Mingzhe had never been.

Now, Lei Jiali suddenly asked Su Mingzhe to participate. Su Mingzhe didn't take it seriously at first and was thinking that if he didn't have anything important to do, he would just go and participate.

As a result, the woman suddenly said in a sad voice, "You haven't participated in Qinghe's activities at school yet." Su Mingzhe was immediately startled:
"Haven't I participated in Qinghe's parent-child activities before?"

His brain worked rapidly for a while before Su Mingzhe slowly recalled what had happened.

I often attend Su Qingquan's, and have also attended Su Qinghu and Su Qingning's several times.

However, it seems that I have never participated in the party of my second son Su Qinghe.

Recalling the reasons why he did not participate in Su Qinghe's parent-child activities, Su Mingzhe felt helpless.

Su Qingquan, the eldest child born to Zhang Suzhen, was born in May of the millennium. He is the oldest and the first to go to school.

The three children born to Lei Jiali, Pingguo and Yuan Jingwen are of similar age, only one year apart. They were born in 03, 04 and 05 respectively.

Wang Lin gave birth to her child in 07.

Su Qinghe's three children are of similar age.

When arranging them to go to kindergarten, at Su Mingzhe's reminder, the women did not send the children to the same kindergarten.

In the future, the same arrangement will be made for children when they go to elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

Also, because the children did not go to the same kindergarten, Su Mingzhe could not use the art of clones every time the kindergarten held an activity, so he could only participate in one of them.

In this situation, Lei Jiali and Su Qinghe, the mother and son, always carry forward their spirits and take the initiative to let Su Mingzhe participate in parent-child activities with other children.

Two years passed like this.

Now Lei Jiali's resentful cry made Su Mingzhe blame her.

Well, it’s definitely not me.

If I hadn't gotten involved with so many women, I wouldn't have so many children, and naturally there wouldn't be so many problems.

Turn around.

Su Mingzhe participated in Su Qinghe's parent-child activities, during which he also played several parent-child games.

There is no tacit understanding between Lei Jiali and men.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe had sharp eyes, quick actions, and actively cooperated with the woman. He also won first place several times, making the little guy Su Qinghe happy for the whole day.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

October is already late autumn.

The end of the year is almost here again.

A lot of problems suddenly arose at the construction sites under Tinglin Group.

Zhang Suzhen handled several cases in a panic, but the problems did not decrease but increased instead.

These construction sites spread rapidly across the country as if they were infected.

Seeing that she was powerless to change the situation, Zhang Suzhen could only ask a man for help.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the woman was getting anxious and angry, with pimples on her face, Su Mingzhe quickly took her hand, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and asked for details.

Zhang Suzhen explained the situation to the man and her emotions gradually calmed down.

Su Mingzhe was speechless after hearing this:

"Since all kinds of fees have gone up, why don't we also give them a little more subsidy?"

"How can we make up for it?"

When Zhang Suzhen heard the man asking for more money, she immediately refused:

"We signed a contract with the construction contractor. When we contracted the project to them, we agreed on a price, and that's the price! When the material and equipment rental prices dropped, they didn't say they would give us a discount, did they?"

"Why should we give them subsidies now that they say the material and equipment rental fees have increased?" Seeing that the woman did not change her mind, Su Mingzhe could only explain to her:

"The problem now is that the cost of materials and equipment rental has really increased. If we don't give them subsidies, those construction contractors may not say anything, but they will definitely pass the pressure on to the small contractors below!"

"These small contractors can't afford to rent equipment or recruit workers with their original money. In the end, they have only two options: one is to use their own money to subsidize, and the other is to run away!"

"Which path do you think these small contractors will choose?"

Zhang Suzhen just didn't change her mind for a while, but now after listening to the man's explanation, she immediately understood. Although she still felt a little awkward in her heart, she softened her words:

"So how much increase is appropriate? We can't just raise it by whatever they say?"

"Agree to their request first and keep the construction going. We can wait until after the Chinese New Year before discussing anything else!"

Su Mingzhe knew that once the construction site stopped working, even for just a few days, it would cause great psychological pressure on the workers.

Once this pressure exceeds a certain limit, these workers will not come to continue working after the New Year.

By then, contractors and small subcontractors will have to spend time recruiting people.

The delayed construction time during this period is real money for Tinglin Group.

Seeing that the man had made up his mind, Zhang Suzhen said nothing more.

The problems at the Tinglin Group construction site were quickly resolved, and everyone in the team was satisfied.

Of course, there are bound to be some people involved who collude with each other, take advantage of the situation, and enrich themselves.

Regarding these matters, Su Mingzhe could only temporarily ask people to pay attention and collect evidence.

The specific punishment will have to wait until construction starts next year before we discuss it.

After all, Tinglin Group has construction sites in hundreds of cities across the country and employs more than one million workers.

Not only was Zhang Suzhen under great pressure, but the leaders above her were also very worried.

When the leaders learned that Tinglin Group provided subsidies to contractors and small subcontractors in a timely manner and appeased the workers, they were all amazed.

In fact, during this period of skyrocketing prices, there was an endless stream of construction sites withholding wages, and contractors and small foremen running away.

In order to get their wages, the workers took turns jumping off the building.

There are even places where real lives have been lost.

For this reason, it would be wise for Su Mingzhe to ask Zhang Suzhen to take the initiative to pay the money and settle the matter first.

This is not cowardice.

But, because of something, I really can't afford to delay.

In this way, I was busy until the end of the year.

The entire Tinglin Group finally had a peaceful year.

It's 2010.

The national economic development is still accelerating, and material costs, equipment rental fees, worker wages, etc. are still rising.

The contractor seemed to have tasted the sweetness and started complaining again, hoping that Tinglin Group would provide subsidies.

This time.

Su Mingzhe did not indulge them anymore. Instead, he took out the transfer records from the previous year, the price list when they asked for a price increase, and their actual expenditures, and conducted a strict check.

If the subsidy is really needed, Su Mingzhe will definitely not be stingy with this money.

However, some people are stubborn and think that Tinglin Group is a sucker, so they have hit a wall this time.

From March to May.

Tinglin Group uncovered more than 300 parasites and hundreds of "profiteers" in one go.

Su Mingzhe was too lazy to deal with these disasters that were endangering the company's development himself, so he directly handed them over to the procuratorate.

When this incident happened, the whole circle was shaken.
