The art of controlling the house

Chapter 58 The Great Project

Flower and Beef Western Restaurant.

In a booth on the second floor, Su Ying sat with a woman of similar age. The woman's name was Peng Fan. She was Su Ying's college classmate and currently worked in the Planning Department.

Two people ordered steak, escargot, lobster, and a bottle of red wine.While eating and chatting, they generally talked about the past and what the former classmates are doing now.

After eating about half of it, Su Ying suddenly changed her words, "Fanfan, I saw an advertisement in the newspaper yesterday, saying that your Pengjia Village is going to invite bids for the overall renovation. What's going on?"

"This... I heard from my dad that the uncle in charge of the house is going to renovate the whole village... Let's just renovate it, it's still quite noisy..." Peng Fan said.

"Renovation...is this the same thing as decoration..." Su Ying asked.

"It seems to be re-planning, renovating and renovating on the basis of keeping each house as small as possible. We don't know what he thinks. Our house was re-renovated last year, but he suddenly made such a move this year. But He is the patriarch, who dares to say anything else, he can only agree. The money is all paid by him, if he wants to turn it over, he can turn it over." Peng Fan still complained a little.

"Then you said if I go to bid, can I do it?" Su Ying asked.

"You..." Peng Fan was stunned for a moment, "You want to bid on behalf of the Xuan family..."

"I'm no longer working in Xuan's house... I started my own business and opened a store..." Su Ying said.

"I did it myself... The Xuan family is pretty good, and the income is high, what do you think..." Peng Fan said a little puzzled.

"In a big company, there are always intrigues, and I am quite tired of this kind of life. That's why I thought about doing it myself, and it saved so much trouble... I also know that starting a business is different from working as a part-time job. Customers, just walk a long way... So, I want to participate in this bidding, if I can win the Pengjia Village project, it will not only help me get started, but also increase my popularity..." Su Ying said seriously .

Peng Fan nodded, "What you said is also reasonable. The intrigue in a big company is really not suitable for a professional like us... With your strength, it is absolutely no problem to preside over the renovation of a village... just Our village is neither big nor small... How big is your own company..."

Su Ying said embarrassingly: "It's just a store. It's a little small, but the project is mainly based on design. During construction, as long as you don't cut corners, there is absolutely no problem."

In fact, she also understands that with the strength of a small store of her own, it is indeed a bit ambitious and overreaching to bid for such a project now.

But if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to dare to compete.Especially today, Xuan's store is open to her door, if you don't do something, basically it's no different from waiting to die.

"That's true. We know everything about you. I know your strength better than anyone else. But for such a big matter, my uncle is the one who decides, so what I say is definitely not counted. If you need my help, I will try my best to help you." Peng Fan said seriously.

"Thank you..." Su Ying said sincerely: "I don't know if you have read the bidding advertisement. The above requirements are a bit high... A-level designer qualifications, this is no problem, I am 3A, not so good It's all about the size of the company... The above requirements are medium and large, mine can only be regarded as small or micro... So I thought, can you try to accommodate me, at least give me a chance to bid try..."

"Is that so... Then, I'll call my dad, he should be able to talk in the village..."

Peng Fan really did what he said, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.After the call was connected, she said, "Hey, Dad...it's like this, one of my classmates, you know, is Su Ying, who had the highest level of design in our school at that time. She saw the advertisement for our village's renovation bidding, and came to Ask me if I can participate in the bidding... She used to work in Xuanjia as the design director, but now she works alone and opens a small design company. The company's scale is not up to the standard required by the bidding, but its strength is not enough. I have to say. I was thinking, can you go to the uncle's house to ask, give her a little accommodation, give her a chance to try...All right, I'll wait for your call, hurry up...Thank you, Dad..."

After hanging up the phone, Peng Fan said: "I told my dad about your situation, and my dad said that Uncle Qi was in charge of bidding. Uncle Qi has already come to the city. He called Uncle Qi and sent you Let’s talk about the situation and see if it works.”

"Trouble uncle." Su Ying said sincerely.

"Why are we being polite? It's just a matter of one sentence. My dad will definitely ask you about the matter, and I think he will get a message in a while. Come on, we Chelsea..." Peng Fan said, raising his red wine glass .

The two drank a sip of wine, and chatted another off-topic topic, and after six or seven minutes, Peng Fan's cell phone rang, "Ring, ring, ring..."

"It's my dad calling..." Peng Fan glanced at the caller ID, and then answered, "Hello, dad...what my seventh uncle said...that's it...I see...you wait for my message... "

After hanging up the phone, Peng Fan said: "My dad asked my seventh uncle, and my seventh uncle said that the reason why the size of the company is required is not that small companies can't do it, but because small companies simply can't afford this job."

"How do you say that?" Su Ying asked puzzled.

"Think about it, our village has more than 1000 people. Although young people have moved to the city, there are more than 100 households in the village. It is a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate. My uncle's strength, of course Needless to say, with the Zhou family, the tide has already risen, so it is not a problem to take out this money. But it is impossible to pay you for such a large project at once, and I am afraid that the other party will take the money and run away. So he is divided How many installments will be paid? This can be explained in the tender document. At the beginning, the construction party will definitely have to pay a sum of money in advance, whether it is 2% or what percentage, until the final payment is settled after passing the acceptance. Nothing else , The average small company doesn’t even have a cash flow of [-] million, so how can they pay in advance.” Peng Fan said.

Su Ying nodded lightly, she naturally understood this to the end, this kind of project is different from home decoration.Home decoration generally pays 50% of the payment first, and after half of the work is completed, another 30% to 40% is paid, and the balance is settled when all the work is completed.The reason is that the cost of home improvement is low. Generally, 20 yuan is enough for basic decoration, and some of them are not needed.Therefore, it is no problem to pay half of it, and the decoration company will not run away with 10 yuan.

But the project with a budget of hundreds of millions is different. How much is the down payment?If more than a dozen 200,000 is not enough to do anything, just give you 10%, that is 1000 million, and for small companies, it is already worth running away.

The Peng family chose a big company to do it. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with it. You will not run away, and I will not be unable to pay. Everything can be negotiated.The reason for bidding is nothing more than to choose the best in terms of design and budget.

"In this way, on the basis that the plan meets the requirements, there is a certain amount of cash flow, which can be used as the initial project funds for construction. Regardless of the size of the company, it is possible to bid for this project?" Su Ying asked.

"This is basically what it means." Peng Fan said.

"I understand." Su Ying raised her wine glass.

For this project, she felt that she had more energy than she wanted, and with the little money in her hand, she couldn't continue the project worth hundreds of millions.
