The phone rang, and Li Weidong looked at the caller ID and saw that the call was from "Infernal Affairs".

"Chairman, Zhang Tao invited four bridge experts and said they were going to inspect the Tuanjie Road Bridge." Infernal Affairs said.

"When did Zhang Tao become so suspicious? He can't trust Academician Chen's judgment!" Li Weidong said cheerfully.

"Zhang Tao can't believe it. Not only him, but other leaders in the factory can't believe Academician Chen. They think that Academician Chen was invited by you to deliberately harm the heavy machinery factory, so Zhang Tao specially invited four professors from the university. It’s just to prove that the bridge can carry heavy vehicles,” Wu Jiandao said.

"Zhang Tao can't trust me after a long time of trouble!" Li Weidong sighed softly, and then said: "But Zhang Tao and the others are probably going to be disappointed!"

"Chairman, does the bridge really have safety doctors and patients?" Infernal Affairs asked subconsciously.

"It seems that you also think that Academician Chen is a shill that I hired with money!" Li Weidong smiled and continued;

"The bridge does have safety issues and needs to be repaired as soon as possible. Even after the repairs are completed, heavy vehicles cannot be used. These are all facts. The Tuanjie Road Bridge is related to the traffic safety of the people in the city. I, Li Weidong, will not lie to others about this matter. "

Wu Jiandao quickly said; "Chairman, I definitely believe you. I'm just worried that Zhang Tao will play dirty tricks! Even if the bridge really has safety problems, he can spend some money to let those experts say that there is no problem with the bridge. Won't you be passive by then?"

"Yes, Zhang Tao thinks that I hired a sitter, so it's not surprising that he also hired a sitter!" Li Weidong thought for a while and asked, "Which experts did Zhang Tao hire?"

"There are people from Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, and I heard there are Yangtze River scholars among them." Infernal Affairs replied.

"Then I won't worry anymore. If I invite some miscellaneous so-called bricks-and-mortar experts, I will worry that they will actually be paid to talk nonsense, but such a well-known scholar should take care of his feathers!" Li Weidong was quite relaxed. said.

Scholars of this level cannot be bought with money. The reputation and academic status that they have accumulated over decades cannot be easily measured with money!

But Li Weidong then thought again. Experts cherish their own feathers, which may be something that can be used!

Thinking of this, Li Weidong said: "Go and find out where those experts live and which hotel and room they want to go to."

The illegal mining of river sand has indeed caused safety hazards to the Tuanjie Road Bridge. Li Weidong did not lie about this.

According to the original historical trajectory, a serious safety accident would occur on this bridge a few years later. A heavy truck directly crushed the bridge. Fortunately, it was the dry season and the water in the river was not deep, so no casualties were caused. Only property damage occurred.

Follow-up investigation found that although the truck was overloaded, the cause of the accident was that the structure of the bridge had already been damaged.

Then the bridge, which had safety risks, was demolished and a new bridge was built in its place.

Now Li Weidong found an excuse to invite Chen Tongshu here, just to let Chen Tongshu discover the safety hazards of the bridge.

Li Weidong did this not only to avoid safety accidents on the bridge, but also to take this opportunity to drag the heavy machinery factory into trouble.

This is also a trump card that Li Weidong has prepared long ago. In Li Weidong's original plan, if Fukang Engineering lost to the heavy machinery factory in the competition, he would use this underhanded trick to bring down the heavy machinery factory. This was also the last trump card he left for Fukang Engineering.

But Fukang Engineering has always been in an advantageous position in the competition, so there is no need for Li Weidong to use this underhanded trick.

Now that Volvo has taken over Fukang Engineering, the situation is different. Although Volvo has not brought over its core technology, Volvo's non-core technology alone can bring considerable improvements to product performance.

Facing a giant like Volvo, Fukang Engineering is incomparable in all aspects. Since he can't fight with real swords and guns, Li Weidong can only play dirty tricks and stab him in the back!

Four bridge experts came to the bridge.

"Weren't the left and right sides of this bridge built at the same time?" Professor Zhang first saw the clues.

Zhang Tao nodded: "One side was built in the mid-1960s, and the other half was built in the mid-1980s. However, when it was built in the 1960s, it was said that its lifespan would be fifty years, and it was reinforced in the 1980s. At that time, I said there would be no problem if I use it for another forty years!”

Knowing that the bridge was actually two bridges put together, the four experts looked at each other, probably having some guesses in their minds.

Nine times out of ten, the assembled goods are not as good as the original ones, not to mention that the bridge is originally a whole. If the two bridges are put together, the possibility of damage is higher under the influence of each other.

"Let's go under the bridge and have a look!" Professor Guo said.

Everyone came under the bridge again, and the four experts began to carefully observe the condition of the bridge piers. While observing, they also discussed in low voices.

"This bridge pier seems to be a little tilted, right? Is it because the foundation underneath was not stable during construction?"

"It's not a construction problem, it's caused by sand excavation. I've seen this kind of situation before in other cities."

"Actually, this situation is quite common in the Yellow River Basin, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The sand content in the river is generally high, so there are many cases of illegal mining of river sand."

"Judging from the condition of this bridge, I think it is quite serious. There must be a Category III bridge. Whether it can meet the standards of a Category IV bridge will only be known after testing."

"This bridge should be repaired as soon as possible. If the condition worsens, it will be difficult to repair it."

"I think it's too late to start repairs now. There are already problems with the bridge's structure. This is a safety hazard that cannot be solved. Even after the repairs are completed, safety hazards still exist."

"Then just limit the weight and don't let heavy vehicles pass by. This way, the burden on the bridge will be smaller and it can last for a few more years."

The four experts quickly came to a conclusion.

Zhang Tao was waiting nearby, already a little anxious. When he saw the four experts returning, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Professor Liu, Professor Zhang, Professor Guo, Professor Li, have you all seen it? Is there no problem with this bridge at all?" Zhang Tao asked eagerly.

"This bridge does have serious safety hazards, and it is best to repair it immediately." Professor Liu replied.

"Is there really a problem? How is this possible? You read that right, right?" Zhang Tao looked suspicious.

Zhang Tao had preconceived notions that the bridge's problems were lies fabricated by Li Weidong, but he did not expect that there was really a problem with the bridge.

Professor Liu was a little unhappy to be questioned by a layman like Zhang Tao. He said with a gloomy face: "If Director Zhang doesn't believe me, you can ask other people if they have reached the same conclusion."

"Trust me, how can I not trust you!" Zhang Tao also felt that he had made a mistake. He quickly put on an apologetic expression and continued: "Then after this bridge is repaired, can heavy vehicles still be used?"

This issue is what Zhang Tao is most concerned about, and it is related to the life and death of the heavy machinery factory.

This time Professor Liu didn't speak. He had just been questioned by Zhang Tao, so he simply came into Cao's camp without saying a word.

Professor Zhang next to him was more direct. He said categorically: "For the safety of the bridge, heavy vehicles must no longer be used."

"You won't let us go after it's been repaired?" Zhang Tao continued with a look of displeasure: "This bridge has been running fine for decades, why has it suddenly become so delicate?"

Professor Zhang had no choice but to explain: "The structure of the bridge has been damaged. This damage is irreversible. Even if it is repaired, the load-bearing capacity of the bridge must be reduced to avoid causing greater damage to the bridge."

Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Tao suddenly turned pale. He spent a lot of money to invite experts here just to prove that the bridge could continue to be used normally. However, the conclusion reached was the same as that of the experts hired by Li Weidong. How could this person? It’s not in vain!

"Did Li Weidong not cheat? There is really something wrong with the bridge? But how could there be such a coincidence?"

Zhang Tao looked at several experts with some suspicion. He even wondered whether these people were sent by Li Weidong to cause sabotage!

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Tao asked: "Is there any other way to make this bridge passable for heavy vehicles?"

The four experts looked at each other and shook their heads almost simultaneously.

Seeing that the four experts reached the same conclusion, Zhang Tao's expression instantly turned pale.

In the evening, Professor Liu returned to the hotel room. As soon as he entered the door, Professor Liu saw an envelope on the ground.

At that time, mobile phones were not yet popular, and there were no social software such as WeChat, so it was not popular to stuff small cards into the room, open the door and look at the ground, which was generally relatively clean.

Now this unexpected envelope made Professor Liu suspicious.

Professor Liu subconsciously picked up the envelope and found that it was quite thick. The words "Professor Liu personally express" were written on the envelope. When he opened it, he found a stack of RMB inside!

This wad of money was estimated to be 10,000 yuan. They were all brand new and had numbers attached to them. You could tell at a glance that they had just been taken out of the bank.

Reminiscent of the inspection of the bridge during the day, Professor Liu immediately understood why an envelope containing money appeared in his room.

At this moment, a knock on the door came from behind, followed by Professor Zhang's voice: "Old Liu, are you there?"

Professor Liu kicked the envelope with the money into his pocket, then opened the door and saw Professor Zhang standing in front of him, holding an envelope in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one in Professor Liu's room.

"Is there one in your room too?" Professor Liu asked subconsciously.

"Did they also give you money?" Professor Zhang asked immediately.

Professor Liu nodded and took out the envelope with the money from his pocket.

"It's so outrageous. How could Zhang Tao, who looks so loyal and honest, do such a thing! In order to let us say that there is no problem with the bridge, he directly gave us money. What do you think of us?" Professor Zhang said indignantly.

"Lao Zhang, keep your voice down! Come in and talk later!" Professor Liu said.

"Keep your voice down, why, are you still afraid that others will know? Do you still want to charge this money?" Professor Zhang stared anxiously.

"Old Liu, you and I have known each other for so many years, do you think I am that kind of person?" Professor Liu continued: "But this money has been stuffed into our room, what do you think we should do?"

"What should I do? Just return the money!" Professor Zhang said.

"Old Zhang, you think things are too simple! There is no written name on this envelope who sent the money. Let's return the money directly. If they don't admit that it is from them and insist on us to keep it, what will happen? What to do? As long as the money is in our hands, it is a bribe, which is equivalent to putting the blame in the hands of the other party! "

Professor Liu paused and then said: "Even if they admit that they sent money, what if they want to say that the envelope contains 20,000 yuan or 30,000 yuan, but only 10,000 yuan is returned? Even if you don’t jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to clean yourself! You’ll have to be coerced by them in the end!”

Professor Zhang suddenly understood and nodded: "Old Liu, you are still thoughtful. What do you think we should do?"

"So the money can't be returned directly. We should call the police and say that we found other people's lost belongings in the room. We are just collecting money. In the future, even if Zhang Tao wants to kidnap us, the police will come to prove our innocence!" Professor Liu said.

"That makes sense, Lao Liu. You still have more ideas. I listen to you and call the police now!" Professor Zhang continued.

Professor Liu continued: "That Zhang Tao secretly gave us money, and it was clear that he was harming us. This Tuanjie Road Bridge has safety risks. If it is not repaired, an accident will happen sooner or later.

If we collect money and say that the bridge is fine, and the bridge is not repaired, and a safety accident occurs in the future, we may be held criminally responsible, so we cannot expose this matter easily!

It's rude to come back without reciprocating. Didn't Zhang Tao want to prove that the bridge can carry heavy vehicles? I don't think it's better. When we wrote the report, we might as well make the situation of the bridge more serious! "

Professor Zhang nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "You are right. It is related to the safety of the masses. Of course, strict requirements must be imposed. It is better to be conservative than to leave any safety hazards!"

The phone rang, and it was "Infernal Affairs" calling again.

"Chairman, according to your instructions, the envelopes containing money have been stuffed into the rooms of the four professors." Infernal Affairs reported.

"What was the reaction of those four people?" Li Weidong asked.

"They called the police!" Wu Jiandao continued: "They said they picked up property dropped by others, and all the money has been handed over to the police."

"Call the police? I thought they would go to Zhang Tao to settle the score! It seems that these senior intellectuals are smarter than I thought!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Li Weidong used this trick to alienate the relationship between the four experts and the heavy machinery factory.

If the experts really went to the heavy machinery factory to refund the money, and Zhang Tao did not admit that the money was given by him, the four experts would definitely think that Zhang Tao had deliberately set up a trap. The relationship between the two parties naturally became cold.

Infernal Affairs then asked: "Chairman, if these experts are greedy for money and really take the money, and then say that there is no problem with the bridge, wouldn't we suffer a loss?"

"If they really dare to accept money, I will immediately report them for accepting bribes. Anyway, the money is with serial numbers. If the number on the money is written in the report letter, it will not be accurate!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

Wu Jiandao's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was not following the wrong person.

In the past, Infernal Affairs only felt that Li Weidong was very capable in business management and could run Fukang Project in a sound and impressive manner.

Unexpectedly, Li Weidong seemed to be better at stabbing people in the back. With a combination of punches, Zhang Tao probably didn't even know how he died in the end!

Regarding the safety issues of Tuanjie Road Bridge, the conclusions given by the four experts are even more serious than Chen Tongshu's conclusion.

Zhang Tao never expected that the experts he invited not only failed to speak for him, but stabbed him several times.

Chen Tongshu was already very authoritative before, but now with the endorsement of four more experts, the city no longer hesitated at all and immediately launched the bridge repair plan.

Overnight, the production of the heavy machinery factory came to a halt.

If the products cannot be shipped, there is no need for the company to continue production.

Before this, although the efficiency of the heavy machinery factory was not very good, it could still sell a few units of products every month. Now that production has been discontinued, it is not as good as before.

Zhang Tao had no choice but to gather people to discuss a solution.

"The Tuanjie Road Bridge is under repair, and the entire construction period will take at least three months! And even if the bridge is repaired, heavy vehicles are not allowed. As a result, our factory will be trapped here!"

Zhang Tao took a deep breath and continued, "We can no longer stay at this place on Tuanjie Road. Now we have only one option before us, which is to relocate the entire factory!"

No pop-ups, timely updates!
