Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda are really efficient in handling things. They submitted the Tender document just before the end of the next working day.
Tai Man breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the Tender document, fearing that Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda might back out.
Yang Chen roughly looked through the tender documents of the two companies and shook his head, saying, "No good."
"What's not good? Do their tender documents have problems? Are they just trying to brush me off?" Tai Man took the tender documents and asked.
Yang Chen explained, "Both companies have almost emptied their coffers, showing their determination to win the project. However, United has long surpassed both companies in strength. Based on these two Tender documents alone, they cannot compete with United. The project will ultimately fall into United's hands, unless you show favoritism."
"What are you talking about? I asked them to participate in the bidding to ensure fair competition. If I show favoritism, it's like slapping myself in the face. If they can't compete, it's their own lack of strength, not anyone else's fault. I will never show favoritism."
"By doing this, United will be even more untouchable in Hualin, and manager Qiao and Mr. Zhao's last bit of influence may also be removed. No, this project cannot be handed over to United."
Tai Man also didn't want to work in vain, but she didn't want to be biased either. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Give it to me, put these two Tender documents here first, I'll leave work a little early today, call me if you need anything," Yang Chen said as he ran out of the office with the Tender documents.
Tai Man rolled his eyes and muttered, "I haven't agreed yet. A secretary leaving work before the leader, who is the real leader?"
Yang Chen not only left early but also didn't come to work the next day. It wasn't until the afternoon, close to the end of the workday, that he rushed into the County Mayor's Office, sweating and carrying a Tender Document.
Tai Man stared at Yang Chen and asked, "What have you been doing all day?"
"Helped manager Qiao and Mr. Zhao to redo a Tender document and looked up some things." Yang Chen placed the Tender document on Tai Man's desk.
Tai Man roughly skimmed through the Tender document, "Joint bid by Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering?"
"No doubt, none of them can compete with United on their own. Only by joining forces do they stand a chance."
"Wouldn't this be considered favoritism on our part?" They had already seen United's Tender document and were now helping Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering revise their Tender document for a joint bid, which is equivalent to cheating.
"I am the one showing favoritism, it has nothing to do with you, leader."
Tai ManJust nowYang Chen finally understands why he has been keeping her in the dark about what to do, just to ensure that she is uninformed, and being uninformed naturally does not count as showing favoritism.
"But if I don't discipline you, wouldn't it be favoritism?"
Yang Chen said with a look of grievance, "If you are truly fair, then go ahead and discipline me, dismiss me and find a new secretary. I just don't know if the next secretary can be as loyal as me and always consider your best interests."
"Hurry and take the tender document to the government office, and have the government office notify everyone to hold a bidding meeting tomorrow."
"The leader still can't bear to fire me, I'll go now." Yang Chen took the tender document and ran to the government office.
The following afternoon, in the conference room.
Deputy County Magistrate Guo Tianyi, along with leaders from the County Water Resources Bureau, the Finance Bureau, and several engineering project experts from the county, were present.
Yang Chen arrived at the County Mayor's Office. "Leader, most of the people have arrived. Shall we go over?"
"Have Manager Qiao and General Zhao arrived?"
"They are all outside the meeting room."
Tai Man closed the file and hurried to the meeting room.
At this moment, Fei Bin, with his big head and protruding belly resembling a ten-month pregnancy, is standing outside the meeting room, disdainfully looking at Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda, who dare not meet his gaze. " manager Qiao, Zhao Zong, did the message I asked someone to deliver to you not reach you? You actually came here in vain."
"If you were sensible, I wouldn't mind sharing some soup with you, but you are not sensible. From today onwards, you won't even be able to eat sh*t at Hualin!"
Zhao Hongda can no longer tolerate it and retorts, "Fei Bin, we rely on our own efforts for engineering projects, we don't need you to meddle! As for Hualin, it's not up to you, Fei Bin, to have the final say!"
Hahaha...
Fei Bin laughed heartily, looking at Zhao Hongda as if he were a fool. "Zhao Hongda, I dare not speak about other matters, but when it comes to Hualin's project, it's my call. Ling River Project has belonged to us, United, since the day it started."
"How come I didn't know?" Tai Man suddenly walked over, his face stern.
"County Chief Tai!" Zhao Hongda and Qiao Jiancai greeted respectfully.
Fei Bin also restrained himself a bit, "County Chief Tai, hello."
"Are you the general manager of United Construction Company? You just said that the Ling River Project has been under the control of United since the day it started. As the person in charge of the Ling River Project, how could I not know about this?" Tai Man questioned sharply.
Fei Bin accompanied a smiling face, "County Chief Tai, the Ling River Project is an important project designated by the provincial authorities, naturally it should be handed over to the best engineering team of Hualin, and our United is the top construction company of Hualin. If it's not given to us, who else could it be given to? Besides, my brother-in-law works with you, we are all one family."
Heh...
Tai Man sneered, "Sorry, I've never seen anyone like you before, you're not my family!"
Tai Man didn't bother to exchange any more words with Fei Bin, and brought Yang Chen into the conference room.
Once inside the conference room, Guo Tianyi and the others all stood up, "County Mayor, you didn't have to come in person. We could have just reported back to you later."
"I have been delayed by some matters at hand, and I apologize for keeping you all waiting. Ling River Project is the first key project that will be implemented after my arrival at Hualin, and I hope to follow up on it as much as possible throughout the process."
After exchanging a few polite words, Tai Man took his seat, and the others followed suit.
"Go and bring the person in charge of Bidding company here."
Yang Chen arrived outside the meeting room and brought Fei Bin, Qiao Jiancai, and Zhao Hongda into the meeting room.
"Everyone is busy with work, so let's not waste any time and get straight to the point. Let's start with United Construction Company." Tai Man opened the photocopy of the United Construction Company Tender document in front of him.
Fei Bin dragged his bulky body onto the stage and began the introduction, first talking about the company's situation, and then boasting about the various projects completed by United in Hualin over the years.
After Fei Bin finished introducing, Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda walked onto the stage together. The two of them took turns to explain in detail their engineering implementation plan for Ling River Project.
After the explanation, Tai Man asked Yang Chen to invite the three of them to take a break outside and discuss the bidding proposals with the attending leaders, deciding which side would ultimately win.
"Professor Hou, please share your professional opinion first." Tai Man looked at the engineering project expert from the county.
"Then let me express my opinion first, to spark a discussion. Both parties' proposals are very detailed and mature, showing great dedication to participating in this bid. If we must distinguish a first and second place, I think United Construction Company has the upper hand, because United has more engineering experience, and excels in both equipment and personnel deployment."
Guo Tianyi and others nodded in agreement one after another.
