Chapter 213 Infrastructure Maniac: Let the big dogs see what China’s speed is!
In Saudi Arabia, the sun sets and the hot temperature drops significantly.
For many Saudis, the day is over.But for the workers here from China, their work has just begun.
In the desert not far from Dammam Port, lights lit up.A large number of Chinese workers went to work, and large vehicles began to be busy.
Because the temperature was too hot during the day, after discussion, they simply put most of their work time into the evening, except for work that couldn't be done at night, during the day.
Some large equipment was transported from the truck, and workers quickly assembled the equipment.
At the edge of the construction site, another group of workers is assembling a mobile board house that can be quickly dismantled.This kind of mobile board house was specially designed and ordered by Tenglong Construction Engineering.
These mobile prefabricated houses are quick to disassemble and assemble. At the same time, the materials used in the prefabricated houses also use relatively expensive heat-insulating and flame-retardant materials instead of cheap foam filling.The use of these materials allows Tenglong Construction's mobile prefabricated houses to have much better insulation effects than ordinary brick and tile houses, making them warm in winter and cool in summer.
After the prefabricated house was assembled, the wooden double beds on the upper and lower floors were assembled.At the same time, air conditioning is also installed in the prefabricated room, allowing workers to sleep better during their breaks.
There is also a separate toilet and shower room in the mobile house, so that everyone can come back to take a shower. There is also a washing machine for washing work clothes, and everyone has an independent wardrobe to store their own things.
Even the curtains are thoughtfully equipped with double-layer light-proof curtains. When the curtains are closed during the day, they not only provide heat insulation, but also allow the room to transform directly into night, making it more comfortable for employees to rest.
In terms of employee benefits, Longteng Construction is definitely among the best in the country.Under the management of a semi-military system, the dormitories of these migrant workers were not as dirty and messy as imagined, but as clean as military camps.
Such requirements are not only for the sake of beauty and cleanliness, but also to increase the self-discipline of these workers for better management.Moreover, good habits and strict rules can also make their bodies healthier. After all, clutter can breed bacteria and cause many people to get sick.
The construction site of the photovoltaic power plant is busy, and the construction site of the desalination plant is also busy.
In major cities in Saudi Arabia, workers responsible for building base stations and laying communication optical cables are also busy.Saudi Arabia is a place where working outdoors is better at night than during the day.
Riyadh, when many Saudis have gone to sleep.The Chinese workers are still busy, with smiles and expectations on their faces.
At a cement-poured foundation pile, workers checked the condition of the foundation piles and then continued to work. Trucks brought the steel signal tower, and the crane lifted the first section of the signal tower and aligned it with the huge bolts on the foundation piles.
The signal tower was quickly assembled by the workers. The assembly speed was very fast. Assembled section by section, the signal tower became taller and taller.These signal towers are cleverly designed, with hollow interiors. Various lines run directly inside the signal tower, which not only looks more beautiful, but also better protects these lines.
The quality of the signal tower is very good and the height is high enough. After the construction of such a signal tower is completed, it can be used for many years. With technological upgrades in the future, only the base station modules above need to be replaced.
Base stations are rising one after another in Riyadh. In fact, there are not many base stations deployed in the city of Riyadh because the city is too small.
Riyadh is located in the three dry valleys of Hanifa, Esan and Baisa Khanzai on the Najd Plateau in the central part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is 3 meters above sea level and about 520 kilometers east of the Persian Gulf. There is an oasis nearby.In Arabic, Riyadh means "garden", which means: a place full of pastures, gardens, and green trees.It is 386 kilometers long from north to south and 30 kilometers wide from east to west. The real core area is only 10 square kilometers.
The radiation range of CEFC's 2G base stations is ten kilometers in radius. Theoretically, with only three base stations, the main urban area of Riyadh can be covered with signals.
However, the Royal Saudi Communications Company still leaves some redundancy, and there are industrial and agricultural areas around the main city.Even so, there are currently only sixteen signal towers planned in Riyadh.
Not just Riyadh, but other cities in Saudi Arabia need fewer towers than Riyadh.
After all, the current population of Saudi Arabia is only over 600 million, and these populations have almost no so-called rural population, and are concentrated in a few major cities.These cities were developed from several oases. In Saudi Arabia, the degree of urbanization is very high. The reason is very simple. Although Saudi Arabia has a large land area, most of it is desert area, and there are few places that are truly suitable for living.
Base stations are being constructed, communication optical cables are being laid, servers and databases are being installed, and everything is progressing rapidly.
"What? Riyadh is under construction? Xu, is this true?"
A week later, Prince Salman was surprised when he received a call from Xu Huasheng.
In just one week, the infrastructure of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was built. This is too fast.What kind of miraculous speed is this? In Salman's view, it would take several months to build such infrastructure. If it were built by the Saudis, it would probably take one or two years.
"Yes, Your Highness, the infrastructure in Riyadh has been completed and is fully ready for use. It will take some time to connect to other cities because they are far away."
Xu Huasheng said with a smile.
Yes, within a week, workers from China completed the infrastructure in Riyadh, allowing Salman to see what China’s speed is.
The reason is very simple. First of all, Riyadh is small, just like a small county in China.For such a large place, the population is only about 300 million, so the area is too small.
Secondly, workers from China work too hard, working fourteen hours or more every day.Moreover, these people never work too hard. Working hours are working hours. They work as fast as they can and are full of energy.
For workers from China, it is really comfortable to work in Saudi Arabia.
Two dollars an hour, eight hours.Over eight hours, three dollars an hour.
They work fourteen hours a day and earn $34 a day. Calculated in this way, if they work full time every month, they can earn about $1000.
The current exchange rate between RMB and US dollar is around 5.5.In other words, converted into RMB, they can earn about 500 yuan for working [-] hours a day. This level of income is unimaginable in China.One month working abroad is equivalent to one year working domestically.
The price for the same job in China is completely different.It's not that Huasheng Group can't afford it, but employees' wages are also a market behavior and are determined based on the market. You can give them a little more, but you can't violate the general market behavior.
Take those who work in Saudi Arabia as an example. Even if they can earn a thousand dollars a month, if they really use this salary to live in Saudi Arabia, they will still live in poverty.Because although the wages here are high, the consumption is also high.
Fortunately, these employees don't have to spend money here. The company directly reimburses their food and accommodation, which saves them a lot of money.For them, all they have to do is put their heads down and work hard.Even if you work here for three months, you can make a lot of money and go home. If you earn [-] yuan in three months, your family will be a household worth [-] yuan when you return to China. In this era, [-] yuan is enough to build five large houses in the countryside. A tile-roofed house is more than enough.
