Advance payment is not a good deal in this industry. Many debt series are also closely related to the progress of the project, and an important part of debt disputes is also related to advance payment. Many economic cases in daily life, including corruption cases, are also inseparable from progress.
Advance payment, strictly speaking, starts with government projects. When the government is building a project, the construction unit can continue because of the shortage of funds or serious shortage of funds. In order to obtain this project, the construction unit can only move forward. Initially it was 10%, 20%. Slowly, with the increasing shortage of government funds, there are more and more construction projects and larger scale, and more and more "qualified" construction units. In addition, in order to prevent the construction unit from being less advanced, the government also artificially divided the project into several subprojects for bidding. The intensification of competition has also increased the proportion of progress. At present, more than half of all localities support it, and some even higher.
Seeing that government projects have adopted promotion methods, other market entities have begun to follow suit and adopt promotion methods. Finally, the scope of advance payment is getting wider and wider, and the scale of advance payment is getting bigger and bigger. The financial risk of advance payment has been transferred to everyone in the construction unit.
Obviously, the problems and risks of progress are enormous. The progress made not only leads to an increase in the burden on the construction unit, but also leads to the construction unit cutting corners under invalid conditions, resulting in frequent tofu residue projects. And serious corruption. What is particularly worrying is that the damage caused by advance payment to the construction team and its workers is illegal and serious. Construction workers, in particular, are ultimately the brothers of migrant workers. They work the hardest and eat more, but in the end they don't get paid. The reason why the salary can't be paid is that the contractor can't get the project payment. The construction unit does not give the project money, because this is the work of an empty glove. They can't build these projects, nor can they build large-scale projects. Finally, the construction unit can only move forward, because of the shortage of funds, it is impossible to guarantee its promised project funds.
Obviously, this is a very real and irregular phenomenon, which must be solved comprehensively.
