Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1289 New Projects

Since he was so obsessed with it, I couldn't say anything more, so I discussed with him: "I saw the lease contract of your nightclub, and the lease is about to expire, so hurry up and find someone to renew the contract!"

Li Lei is not so thoughtful now, he waved his hand and said: "You can figure it out yourself! Didn't I give you all the management rights! You can do whatever you want!"

I put my heart out and said, "In this case, I'll give you another 200 million, and you just give me all the shares and management rights!"

Li Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "You know, I'm a minority shareholder. I can't sell the remaining shares to you! I can sell all my shares to you!"

I laughed and said: "I will lend you 700 million, plus I will give you another 200 million now, just take your little shares, and now I am still helping you manage it. I have no benefit at all. I will not do this! Or else , you find a way now, sell all the shares to me, or else, you should pay back the money as soon as possible, and I will withdraw!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lei said very displeasedly: "Why did you ask me for money so quickly? I'm waiting to use the money now!"

I said displeasedly: "I've done the math, I've suffered too much! You manage the nightclub and make money for you. The store is not mine, so I'm at a loss! No, I can't do it if this continues. !"

Li Lei sighed and said: "Don't worry! Let me ask, they don't want to do it now anyway, they have all set their sights on this project, and they are short of money. In this case, give me two days, and I will fight for it." Convince them to sell a few stores to you directly, so the head office will do it, right?"

I knew that haste makes waste, so I reluctantly said: "Then hurry up! My money is calculated as interest!"

Here, Yaoyang has already started beckoning to buy the real estate of the night market. As soon as I get the shares, Li Lei's shop will become my possession.

Du Shiyang and I have been paying attention to the renovation of the old city. We went to the bidding office in the office hall of the city government early in the morning. There are government bidding projects everywhere. On the large LED screen, various bidding and CIC information are scrolled. .

Du Shiyang and I sat on the stool, watching the screen, and I asked Du Shiyang, "Have you seen the bidding information for this project?"

Du Shiyang shook his head and said: "I didn't see it, there is no news at all!"

I hummed, and my mind was no longer on this. Around the hall, I visited a circle of booths of bidding units. These booths are some government project bidding, like talent recruitment booths. A staff member receives bidders at any time and answers questions from bidders at the same time.

In a corner near the toilet, I saw a little girl with black-rimmed glasses and a lot of materials on the table, but no one cared about them. The temperature in the hall was very low, and the little girl was shivering from the cold. Mouth gasping hands.

Above her booth was a banner that read: "Yanji-Hunchun Expressway Bidding Information Office".

I found it very strange why the project in Jilin Province was called for bidding in Shenyang. This aroused my interest, and I walked over without knowing it, and asked the little girl, "Are you bidding for the expressway?"

The little girl looked at me, nodded and said, "Yes! Have you ever done a road project?"

I nodded and said, "I've done it, I'm qualified! Can you give me a copy of the bidding materials?"

The little girl happily handed me a thick document and said, "200 yuan!"

I said with an oh: "May I take a look first?"

The little girl hummed and said: "Yes! If you want to take it away, you will pay. If you don't take it away, you can look at it as you like, and you don't need money!"

I asked curiously: "How did you invite bids across provinces for your project in Jilin?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "You have to ask our leader about this, I don't know!"

I asked with an oh: "Where is your leader? Is she there?"

The little girl pointed to the document and said: "It has his phone number on it, you can call him and ask yourself!"

I called the leader Xie Yuan. He said that he was at the train station and was going back to Yanji. If we are really interested, we can go to the train station to find him. He still has an hour before the train leaves.

I gave the little girl 200 yuan, took the materials, and dragged Du Shiyang to the train station. As I walked, I said, "This may be a good opportunity to make money!"

Du Shiyang looked at the information in my hand in puzzlement, and asked, "Highway? Is it still so remote? Can it make money?"

I smiled and said: "My eyes, you still don't believe it?"

When I arrived at the train station, I found this leader named Jie Yuan, a middle-aged man with deep eyes, three to seven points of hair, a black knee-length down jacket, and a backpack on his back. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a leader.

Xie Yuan was also surprised by our arrival. After learning that we are the Lvshuiyuan Construction Company, he was even more uncertain about our purpose of looking for him.

I said simply and clearly: "I just have one question, why do you need to invite bids across provinces for your project?"

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, and explained: "This section of the expressway has been delayed for a long time. The previous biddings were all won by a local construction company, and I canceled the bids. They practiced fraud, and they have no qualifications at all! No construction company dared to accept it, and I couldn’t do it even if I accepted it, so I had no choice but to invite bids from outside the province!”

I sighed and said, "Then if we go to invite bids, we will encounter the same trouble, and the project will not go ahead!"

Xie Yuan immediately said: "You are different, if a big company like yours, they dare not mess with you!"

Du Shiyang was a little hesitant, but after looking at the bidding documents, he asked again: "Can you really pay on a monthly basis?"

Xie Yuan immediately said: "Our funds are earmarked for special purposes! I guarantee that the project funds will not be short of a penny, and will not be overdue one day, as long as the quality of the project can be guaranteed! We applied for this fund three years ago. We got down and didn’t dare to move! We don’t repair this road, it’s really inconvenient, every time we go to Changchun, we have to walk more than 100 kilometers around the national road! So, it must be repaired!”

When the train came into the station, Xie Yuan said: "I'm going back to report to the leader. If you really want to bid, you can go to our place to have a look. The terms are very generous, but there are some minor troubles that need to be resolved with us! "

"What's the trouble, the local construction company?" I asked curiously.

Xie Yuan hummed and said: "Yes! However, I believe that such a big company like yours can still solve this trouble. Some things are difficult for us locals to deal with. After all, we will live there for the rest of our lives. , you are different, you can leave after you have finished your work and get the money! Think about it, if you are willing to come, I welcome you at any time!"

After Xie Yuan left, Du Shiyang asked uncertainly: "Are you really planning to do it?"

I smiled and said: "Let's come here, I made money, but you go back empty-handed, isn't it appropriate? Are you interested, let's go further north?"

Du Shiyang said excitedly: "As long as it's with you, I'm interested no matter how far away it is...to make money...no matter how far away!"

I laughed and said, "Alright, let's go tomorrow, I think this is the project that makes money! You just wait to collect the money!"

After making arrangements for the nightclub here, Du Shiyang and I set off for Yanji. Shenyang is more than 600 kilometers away from Yanji, and it takes 7 hours to drive, so we chose to take the train.

Most of the people on the bullet train speak Korean. At first glance, it sounds like the accent in a Korean drama, but it is more blunt than that accent.

There are also many people wearing Korean costumes, Du Shiyang looks very novel.

I warned Du Shiyang: "Don't stare at people, you don't know that people from the Northeast have a dialect called, what are you staring at?"

Du Shiyang smiled and asked: "I know! If they really ask that, how can I answer it?"

I thought for a while and said: "Just answer, I think you look like my father!"

Du Shiyang hit me with a smile and scolded me: "Shameless!"

I continued: "Then you can add one more sentence, my father is already dead! After that, you can be beaten!"

Du Shiyang giggled and said: "You wait, I will tell my dad when I get back, you curse him to death!"

I hurriedly said: "Just kidding, there is no taboo!"

When we arrived, Xie Yuan drove a broken jeep to pick us up. The broken jeep was windy and there was still a lot of snow on the road. I asked curiously, "How long does it take for the snow to melt?"

Xie Yuan explained: "Usually until mid-April, our side is colder, and writing is slower than that of Shenyang!"

I stepped on the ground under my feet and said, "This ground is so hard! According to what you said, you can't work for a few months that year!"

Xie Yuan said embarrassingly: "Yes, it is usually from mid-April to the end of October, and you can't do it when it snows!"

I frowned and said: "There is only 6 months of construction in a year, and that's not counting. It's impossible to start construction in April. The ground is so hard. By April, the snow on the ground has melted, but the ground below the surface It is ice, which will still cause great difficulty in digging!"

Xie Yuan smiled embarrassedly and said: "Mr. Chen is an expert! It is indeed the case, and the construction period we require is relatively tight. We plan to repair this road by the end of this year!"

I shook my head. Xie Yuan was afraid that you would retreat immediately, so he led me into their office building and said, "Specifically, we will talk about it after meeting with our leader. In fact, our terms are still very generous, but the construction aspect is indeed difficult. challenging!"

His office is very simple. There are only three desks in total. In the empty room, the floor is full of documents. The other two desks are two people. A middle-aged man with a bald head and deep glasses and a ponytail. The middle-aged woman doesn't look like a leader.

The two of them were concentrating on looking at the documents. They heard us coming in for a while before looking over them, and then stood up immediately.

Xie Yuan pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced: "Director Zhao of our project department, who is in charge of auditing and technology!" Then he pointed to the middle-aged woman and said, "This is Director Cui, the general manager of our project!"

Du Shiyang and I walked over and shook hands with them one by one. Xie Yuan said again: "These two are Mr. Chen and Mr. Du from Lvshuiyuan Real Estate!"

Both of them had obviously heard of Lvshui Garden, and they were taken aback for a moment. They didn't expect that such a big real estate company would come to them, but they didn't know the two of us. After exchanging pleasantries, Director Cui asked curiously: "I don't know. Why did you two come all the way to our place to bid and do projects?"

I replied flatly: "We were planning to bid for another project in Shenyang, and we just saw your project bidding, so we came here out of curiosity!"

Director Cui was a little disappointed when he heard my tone, but he still said: "It has been 3 years since our project was established. The total distance from Yanji to Hunchun is 103 kilometers. We belong to the first bidding section. We only do 46 kilometers. We have already done 6 kilometers. Kilometers, the rest is the amount of work we have to do. For specific data, we have technical documents here, you can take a look. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no second company to bid, and there is still a deadline for our bidding 3 days, if the two of you are interested, after 3 days there are no other companies participating in the bidding, and we have no problem after reviewing, we can formally sign the contract, and you can enter the venue at any time!"

I asked inexplicably: "Is our family the only one to apply for the bid? Does the procedure comply with the regulations?"

Director Cui nodded and said, "Yes! Our construction project is a relatively difficult technical one, and we can invite independent bids!"

Du Shiyang looked at a blueprint on the ground and asked: "Why did they only do 6 kilometers? Why didn't they continue to do it?"

Director Cui said with some embarrassment: "There are many historical reasons for this, and I can't explain the specifics for a while!"

I frowned and said, "If you don't tell us the reason, we wouldn't dare to proceed with this project rashly!"

Xie Yuan sighed and said: "It's like this. We have a local construction company. They have undertaken our project. They have no qualifications. After 1 kilometer, we detected many problems. The road construction is not good at all. It meets the technical specifications, and we ordered them to stop working!"

I asked with a groan, "Is the construction too difficult?"

Director Zhao said angrily: "No, they cut corners! The materials used did not meet our requirements! We have warned them many times, but they didn't listen, and within three years, the pavement has cracked. You said we Can we let them continue to build again?"
