Bing Tianyi had been studying the Book of Changes for a long time and naturally understood the importance of Feng Shui, especially in architecture. Every detail of the building had to be precise to ensure everything was foolproof.
Of course, if someone else were to look at it, they wouldn't see any problems at all.
Hearing Mo Yonggang ask a question, Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and said, "You'll find out soon."
Before long, Ma Wenhong came upstairs with the blueprints. Before reaching Bing Tianyi, he asked, "Mr. Bing, what's wrong?"
"Did you follow the blueprints for the construction?" Bing Tianyi asked directly without hesitation.
Ma Wenhong seemed a bit uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he replied to Bing Tianyi, "Yes, I followed the blueprints."
"Take a look at this spot; hasn't it been reduced by one meter?" Bing Tianyi asserted.
Ma Wenhong was stunned and looked at Bing Tianyi in surprise. After unfolding the blueprints and examining them carefully, he finally said, "That shouldn't be the case; I calculated everything myself before."
"Let's go." As soon as Ma Wenhong finished speaking, Bing Tianyi stepped toward the construction site downstairs.
A one-meter discrepancy would alter the entire Feng Shui layout. If adjustments were needed later, it would require a complete overhaul, rendering all previous work futile. Bing Tianyi understood how serious the situation was; thus, there could be no carelessness at this critical moment.
This was also why Bing Tianyi had been frequently visiting the construction site lately.
Upon arriving at the construction area, Bing Tianyi told the workers nearby, "Everyone stop what you're doing."
The workers were puzzled about what had happened and stood still with curious expressions on their faces.
At that moment, Ma Wenhong and Mo Yonggang walked over, chattering as they approached Bing Tianyi. They stopped beside him, and Mo Yonggang leaned in to ask quietly, "Director Bing, I just looked over the blueprints, and there shouldn't be any issues."
"Don't say that just yet. Bring me the ruler," Bing Tianyi replied softly.
Mo Yonggang nodded and retrieved the ruler from a nearby worker, then handed it to Bing Tianyi. After measuring, it turned out that the entire building's diameter was a full meter shorter.
Seeing this situation, Bing Tianyi threw the ruler on the ground and turned around, saying, "Tear it all down and rebuild it."
Upon hearing this, Ma Wenhong was somewhat stunned. He thought that for such a large building, being a meter short wouldn't affect its aesthetics at all. Moreover, this wasn't his fault; it was likely that the workers had made some slight measurement errors during construction. If they tore it down and rebuilt it now, it would mean he would lose tens of thousands for no reason.
Thinking of this, Ma Wenhong said somewhat displeasedly to Bing Tianyi, "Director Bing, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"What? Do you want me to personally supervise you?" Bing Tianyi stood firm and turned to stare at Ma Wenhong as he asked.
Seeing the expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Ma Wenhong really couldn't understand. After all, he had been in construction for so many years; if he followed the blueprints properly, how much money could he make?
With this in mind, Ma Wenhong couldn't help but say again to Bing Tianyi, "Director Bing, if you do this, I won't be able to continue with this building."
Seeing Ma Wenhong say this, Mo Yonggang quickly stepped forward and gave him a knowing look. After all, having worked alongside Bing Tianyi for so long, he understood his style of doing things.
Ma Wenhong frowned tightly and fell silent.
Noticing this, Mo Yonggang stepped forward with a smile and said to Bing Tianyi, "Director Bing, how about this? Let's not tear down the already constructed parts; we can find a way to modify them instead."
Bing Tianyi sneered and looked at Mo Yonggang with curiosity as he asked, "Manager Mo, do you know what the consequences of doing that would be?"
Mo Yonggang furrowed his brow tightly and curiously asked Bing Tianyi, "I don't think there would be any consequences. It's just a small mistake. With such a large project, how much impact could it really have?"
Bing Tianyi was completely speechless. Looking at Mo Yonggang, he forced a smile and said, "Manager Mo, Ma Wenhong doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation. I think you should know that, but why are you saying this now?"
"I've been in the construction industry for so many years, and we usually turn a blind eye to such small matters," Mo Yonggang replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi felt a sense of dread. He thought about it: if things were really as Mo Yonggang said, turning a blind eye, then was this project also going to be handled the same way?
With this thought in mind, Bing Tianyi frowned and asked, "Manager Mo, are other constructions like this too?"
At this moment, Mo Yonggang quickly explained, "Of course not. Ever since I've been working under you, even if we don't make much money, we have been very strict about the quality control of the projects."
Bing Tianyi nodded and said, "That's right. You should really revise everything from start to finish; otherwise, after the project is completed, it won't achieve the intended effect at all."
Once Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Mo Yonggang curiously asked with a hint of helplessness, "Mr. Bing, you can't really be planning to ensure that the residents of this community will have good fortune in the future? That's impossible."
Bing Tianyi sighed and said, "Manager Mo, since that's the case, let me tell you the truth."
As he spoke, Bing Tianyi took the blueprints from Ma Wenhong's hands, unfolded them, and pointed at them seriously. "Manager Mo, take a look at the architectural layout on this blueprint. Isn't it vastly different from other buildings?"
Mo Yonggang quickly nodded and said, "I've noticed that long ago."
"Then tell me why I'm doing this."
"Isn't it because the architectural style is unique and can fetch a good price later?" Mo Yonggang replied with a smile as if it were obvious.
Bing Tianyi chuckled and shook his head. "That's not the point. The key is its feng shui. As you can see, our community is surrounded by tall buildings. Additionally, over the years, the chaotic construction in this city has caused significant changes in its feng shui layout. It’s basically impossible to change that now. However, since we can't modify the city's feng shui layout, we must try to alter the feng shui of the building itself."
Although Bing Tianyi spoke earnestly to Mo Yonggang with great emphasis, after hearing all this, Mo Yonggang was still confused and didn't understand anything clearly. Once Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Mo Yonggang nodded as if he understood but asked, "So what exactly will this achieve?"
"Then you still don't understand," Bing Tianyi said with a wry smile.
Mo Yonggang shook his head and replied, "I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, then just do as I say," Bing Tianyi said, feeling he had no other choice.
Mo Yonggang glanced at Ma Wenhong beside him and quietly asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
What more could Ma Wenhong say at this point? He could only accept it; after all, he was the one who contracted the construction here. If there were problems, he had to take responsibility.
Thinking of this, Ma Wenhong spoke up, "What else can I say? I can only do as you say."
Bing Tianyi smiled and looked at Ma Wenhong seriously. "Brother, I know you usually take your work seriously. This time, I believe it was a mistake made by your workers. But don't worry, for this project, I will give you a compensation of two hundred thousand. You trust me; if you follow my lead, I should also do things that earn your trust, right?"
Hearing Bing Tianyi say this, Ma Wenhong felt relieved. Previously, he had planned to pay out of his own pocket, but now that Bing Tianyi had said this, how could he not take it seriously?
"Boss Bing, rest assured that I won't delay this project and will complete it with quality and quantity guaranteed," Ma Wenhong said, appearing generous.
Bing Tianyi nodded. After a brief casual conversation between the two, they left the construction site with Mo Yonggang.
Once they reached an open area nearby, Bing Tianyi stopped and asked Mo Yonggang, "Brother, what do you think about this matter?"
Mo Yonggang frowned and after a long pause finally said quietly, "Boss Bing, this kind of thing is actually quite common on construction sites. Although the contractors under you are generally meticulous in their work, there are occasionally one or two who try to cut corners."
"Then why do they do that?" Bing Tianyi asked helplessly.
He felt that especially in construction projects, if something went wrong even slightly, it could lead to very serious consequences. How could these people afford to be careless?
Seeing the helpless expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Mo Yonggang said softly, "The reason is simple. Don't they just want to make more money? Think about it, for a project like this, reducing it by one meter could mean losing hundreds of thousands. How could they not want to earn that money?"
"Do they think the money I give them isn't enough?" Bing Tianyi asked curiously.
"How could it be enough? There are plenty of people who lose money on contracting projects," Mo Yonggang replied seriously.
Bing Tianyi lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised it to ask, "Don't they do a budget before taking on the contract?"
"Of course they do."
"Then why does this situation occur?" Bing Tianyi continued to ask.
Although Bing Tianyi had been in the construction field for nearly three years, he had entered the real estate market through the Construction Company and dealt with contractors through Mo Yonggang and others. So he was naturally unfamiliar with these matters.
In these three years, Mo Yonggang hadn't really explained these things to Bing Tianyi. Now that Bing Tianyi was asking, Mo Yonggang could only start giving a brief introduction.
After Mo Yonggang finished speaking, Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and said, "I see."
After that, Bing Tianyi took a deep breath and seriously considered for a moment before directly telling Mo Yonggang, "Gather all our contractors at the Construction Site for a meeting at seven o'clock tonight."
