The old factory's factory building was a standard steel structure with multiple spans and single floors.
This type of factory building was quick to build because the foundation didn't need to be too deep. If they used a higher cost steel structure, the construction time would be even faster.
Ye Jiangning said that this construction company didn't slack off at all. But the materials they bought were a bit fishy, and the way they did things, he didn't like it.
Ye Jiangning was the first party, so he found the second party construction company to build the factory.
Because there was a design institute to design the blueprints, and a supervisor to supervise the quality. Plus the construction company had to send the samples to the quality inspection station and material inspection center for testing.
So Ye Jiangning didn't worry too much about the materials. After all, if you didn't have the connections, buying from the market would be much more expensive than buying from the construction company, and it would be easy to buy fake goods.
In the end, the materials ordered from the construction company didn't have any problems with the steel and concrete. But there were a few areas that were easily overlooked, and the problems weren't small.
For example, the new factory building's diamond sand floor. This type of floor technology first became popular in developed countries, and then spread to Hua Xia. Now, new factories in the country also liked to use this type of floor, because it was durable and resistant to dust.
The construction company played a dirty trick here, using fake products to pass off as a large factory, although it could still be used. But who would be happy to spend the price of Master Kang to buy Master Kang Shifu?
Since the construction company dared to play like this, they naturally had a way to avoid the supervision and quality inspection station.
First of all, their steel and concrete were all qualified products without any problems. They guaranteed quality and quantity, and the factory's inspection was 100% successful.
The layer of diamond sand on the floor, after it was finished, all of its indicators were within the passing line.
The only indicators were the particle size and Mohs hardness. As for after a few years of use, whether or not the floor would crack because the adhesive wasn't up to standard, and dust would rise, who knows what the reason was?
Unless the inspection company had the same ability as the industry and commerce bureau, and found out that the manufacturer of these materials was actually a fake.
Ye Jiangning found out about this purely by chance. The factory was currently recruiting a lot of workers, and one of them had worked in the diamond sand factory for a few years. When the construction company made the first diamond sand floor, they used the factory that this worker worked in.
The employee immediately discovered that the emery was made from crushed minerals. Although the outer packaging was exactly the same as the factory he used to work in, he was sure that there was a problem with the material inside.
He then called his former colleagues and asked them. After confirming that these were fake products, he secretly told Ye Jiangning about it.
If it was just this, perhaps the construction company could use the excuse that they were also deceived.
But after the construction company finished building the first factory building in two shifts, when they were setting up the pipes, lighting equipment, and cables, the suspicious Ye Jiangning found a problem.
It was the same method, and they were all high quality imitations of big brands. Even the workers that Ye Jiangning hired, who had worked in this industry before, didn't dare to draw any conclusions.
It was only after these workers who had been involved in related production made several phone calls and turned left and right to ask their old acquaintances that they finally understood the market situation inside.
Ye Jiangning told the construction company to take care of this matter, but the construction company cried out that they were wrongly accused, saying that they were also victims, that they were cheated by these products that were almost identical to the original.
They said that they would change it immediately, but they would have to raise the price.
That was the price in the contract, but they didn't think that they would be cheated by fake products. Then the construction company listed a series of similar situations. For example, when they were building pipes for the water company, they originally used sand to fill them up, but when the soil was soft, they had to use concrete to reinforce it.
This was a change in price outside of the contract, so it was reasonable.
Even with Ye Jiangning's good temper, he was almost angered by this construction company.
Of course, Ye Jiangning decided that even if it would delay the construction, he would have to change the construction company, and even ask them to compensate according to the contract.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing thought for a while, but he didn't think that there would be someone he knew who was in a construction company.
The original factory building at Dragon Creek Beach was completely built by the monsters themselves. Originally there were fences and dilapidated factory buildings, but in the end everything that could be torn down was sold as scrap metal. Ye Qing directly had the monsters build a tall courtyard wall, and the factory was reinforced and renovated, building two more.
When the factory was being transferred, Ye Qing went to the city construction bureau to get a construction permit. The chief of the city construction bureau was an old acquaintance of his, and the court lady painting curbstone gave him a lot of fame. Dragon Creek Beach was renovated and built two more. As long as they didn't build on other people's land, Ye Qing could even build 10 more without a problem.
The peons were busy building the Mechanical Colossus, so they couldn't help with the construction of the factory, and even if they went, it wouldn't be enough.
Since he didn't know anyone, the first person Ye Qing thought of was Doudou. He called her and asked if she had any relatives in a construction company, as he had a project to discuss.
What a coincidence, Doudou said that her cousin's family owned a construction company, but it wasn't a big one. It turned out that they were only contracted to build one or two residential buildings in a small district. In the past few years, the real estate market was not doing well, and her cousin's family was having a hard time maintaining the company, because they couldn't get the money back.
If they could build residential buildings, they could also build factories. Ye Qing told Doudou to ask her cousin if she wanted to take on a factory project.
"Big brother Ye, my cousin's construction company is very small, will they be able to do a good job?" Hearing that Ye Qing was going to help her cousin introduce another project, Doudou was very happy and moved. At the same time, she was very worried that her cousin wouldn't be able to complete Ye Qing's project.
Although Ye Qing didn't mention the price of the project, Doudou didn't need to ask to know that it wouldn't be a small project.
"The difficulty of building a standard factory building is much lower than building a residential building." Ye Qing knew what she was worried about, but it wasn't necessary.
"A factory building mainly requires manpower, and not enough machinery. There are too many construction machines in the market waiting to be rented. In terms of manpower, many construction companies have worked with familiar construction teams. After all, there are very few companies that can support a large construction team. Most of them worked with familiar construction teams who were looking for work everywhere after receiving a project.
"I will send the previous electronic version of the tender to your QQ email. You can ask them. It's better to give the project to one of our own."
When Ye Qing said one of their own, Doudou was very happy and said that she would ask them now.
After the tender was sent, the other side had to read it before replying. Ye Qing continued to work on the comfort improvement of the prototype.
Ye Qing planned to register the patent after the prototype was improved, then apply for a production license for the construction vehicle. After the license was approved, it could be sold as a product.
Of course, after the improvement, it would be sent to the construction site of the old factory and let it participate in the construction of the factory. This way, they could thoroughly verify the various functions of the equipment.
The first thing to be built was the wearable operating equipment according to the physique of a normal person.
This thing was very cool. After the improvement, it was the same as the skeleton of the Iron Man armor. Of course, it only had the upper body and couldn't move autonomously. However, it could control much more machinery than the armor.
The operating equipment was all made of light alloy, and the sensors and wires were all hidden inside. After Ye Qing buckled it, he found that he couldn't feel the weight at all.
The parts that were attached to the waist and shoulders were also cushioned with memory foam, so it didn't hurt at all.
After connecting to the cockpit, Ye Qing deliberately started the machine and drove it outside to test it a few times.
Perfect!
The problem was completely solved.
Relying on the strength of his waist, Ye Qing didn't feel the weight of his hands when operating the Mechanical Colossus, and it was more convenient to operate. The button to switch tools was also integrated into the machine.
