Chapter 369 The "pillow" sent by Zhe Linshan

"Brothers from the Shunxian world, what do you think?" Jin Ziming asked.

"Some are passionate, and some are boldly questioning. Generally speaking, most locals want to win, while other disciples and elders are evenly matched in their attitudes."

This project has a very high level in the Lingyun Sect, and is personally led by the Great Yuan Wang Chaohui, who even participated in several discussions.

At this time, Tan Xiang, the boss of Headquarters Solutions, would state that "the opinions of the elders shall prevail", but once Wang Chaohui left, his tune would immediately change.

Jin Ziming said: "We must consider the huge risks of this project."

Tan Xiang said: "If you have no blood and dare not fight, how can you make a market?"

The reckless man was so angry that he deliberately followed his words: "The project is of great significance to the future market structure of Bayanzhou. Although there are many uncertainties, the various factions will definitely not give up easily."

The other party changed his mind again: "You are doing this for your own performance, regardless of the life and death of the sect."

Jin Ziming was completely irritated and went into a rage at the meeting: "What the hell, you're left now and right now, do you want me to go left or right? Do you have to wait for Elder Wang to speak before you have an idea?"

"Jin Ziming, when you talk like this, it will only make me think that you are not suitable to be the great elder of this realm." Tan Xiang replied in a weird manner.

"Whether I am suitable or not is not up to you. If you have the ability, you can take off my title, but I don't think you have the energy." The rude man retorted.

The meeting broke up unhappily, and the good thing about the Lingyun faction was that after everyone finished scolding, at the next meeting, they seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the last time, and started to argue again "rigorously" about whether to go left or right.

Internally, this good habit is called "treating the situation, not the person", and Jin Ziming and Tan Xiang are no exception.

The reckless man gradually strengthened his point of view: "Whoever works on this project will die. The Lingyun faction must not snatch it at all costs, otherwise, they will be brought into a desperate situation.

How to explain to the headquarters and how to get some benefits from this order are the key points I should consider."

Just as Jin Ziming was dozing off, someone brought a pillow. On this day, Feng Kai, who was cooperating with Li Ao, came to his office and said:

"Great Elder, the person in charge of Zhe Linshan at Weiluo Gate contacted me this morning and said that their Great Elder Pei Jierui wanted to have a private chat with you."

Jin Ziming immediately remembered the tall and lanky man with fair skin, "Is it for the Veromen project?"

"The other party didn't say it, but at this juncture, it must be."

"Okay, we can meet." He agreed immediately, wanting to hear his opponent's thoughts. As for whether it was true or false, he could make his own judgment.

The next day, Jin Ziming met Pei Jierui in a teahouse. Both parties brought an entourage. After some pleasantries, they turned to the topic. Pei Jierui asked:

"Elder Jin, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what do you think about the Vero Gate project?"

"Haha, of course the headquarters is excited about such a big project, but to be honest, the final regulations have not been finalized yet. Elder Pei, what about you?"

Naturally, the reckless man would not reveal his cards to his opponent, not to mention that the Lingyun Sect had not yet made the final decision.

"Elder Jin, you know that with this project, except for the original suppliers of Zhiyuan Sect and Xiluo Sect, the other sects will be very excited.

Veromen put the 'meat' that belonged to those two companies out for public bidding, and the price was reduced a lot.

But for the six of us, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I guess everyone is planning to use this order to start the production of complete machines in Bayanzhou, right?"

"Indeed." Jin Ziming nodded in agreement.

"What do you think of the other opponents?"

"Guangxin Sect, Danfu Pavilion and Rushi Sect are weaker. I guess the main thing is that the remaining five families are fighting for it." The reckless man said everything.

"Elder Jin's words are a bit untrue. With the rigid authorization systems of Zhiyuan Sect and Xiluomen, it is impossible to accept such a low price.

Although the Qingyu Sect has good momentum, there is a gap between it and you and me in terms of influence, strength and technology of the sect.

Therefore, I predict that this project will be a bloody battle between our two families until the end."

Jin Ziming was a little surprised, how could this person be so "sincere"? The other party was right. It was basically consistent with the Lingyun School's analysis, so he could only say: "Your prediction is indeed very likely."

"Elder Jin, I have a proposal. Are you interested?"

"Please tell me and listen."

"To tell you the truth, my term will be up in two years. If I cannot make great achievements, I will have no choice but to return to the Zi Dejie headquarters. There will be no suitable position for me at that time.

Personally, I must win this project, and the higher-ups also value the potential of Shunxianjie and Bayanzhou.

Over the years, Zhe Linshan has earned a lot of spiritual stones from all walks of life, and the headquarters has decided that even if there is a loss on this order, I will be given a large subsidy to ensure that I win."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to make an exchange with Elder Jin. You can let it go and don't be too bloody on this project.

Once we successfully win, in return, Zhe Linshan can make concessions to other future projects in Weiluomen, as well as the projects currently being tendered by Bayanzhou and Shunxianjie, so as not to cause any trouble to you."

Of course, a reckless man cannot promise this kind of thing casually. He pretended to be silent, and after hesitating for a moment, he said seriously:

"Elder Pei, thank you for your candor. I can't reply to you right now for this proposal. I need to communicate with the boss at the headquarters before I can reply."

Of course, Pei Jierui knew the authority of the Great Elder of the First Realm and nodded in agreement. The two of them exchanged jade talismans for sound transmission and agreed to communicate at any time in the future.

Jin Ziming returned to the branch and fell into deep thought. For a long time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, and a crazy and bold idea emerged uncontrollably:

“In the next few decades, the most competitive ones in the leisure industry will only be Zhe Linshan and Lingyun Sect.

The former is a serious problem at present and in the future. Waiting for it to grow up will be extremely detrimental to the sect. Since we have determined that this huge project is a huge pit, why not let Pei Jierui jump into it?

What I want to do is not to grab the order, nor to give up, but to help Weiluomen dig this hole deeper so that Zhe Linshan will fall in and be doomed from now on."

The mangy man deduced it several times in his mind, and was sure that this was the wisest response strategy. In his excitement, he asked Shenghui to immediately make an appointment with the great senator Wang Chaohui, and he wanted to report alone.

Two days later, the Grand Elder and senior executives from the headquarters listened to Jin Ziming’s latest ideas. After intense discussion, Wang Chaohui made the decision:

"We have reservations about your new strategy. We cannot agree to give up immediately now. We must watch it as we go.

However, the sect has always believed that front-line supervisors know the actual situation best, so the final decision-making power is given to you and it is up to you to make your own decision."

"Although I didn't get the affirmative answer I wanted most, since the headquarters has delegated power to me, I'm sorry and it has to be based on my ideas.

From now on, change your goal to digging a hole, and dig the deepest hole, but you must be careful not to fall into it yourself in the end."

He summoned several core members and shared his thoughts with them. Everyone unanimously agreed. Jin Ziming asked: "You must keep the secret and do not disclose it to anyone."

That night, he used the sound transmission jade talisman to contact Pei Jierui, the great elder of Zhelin Mountain:

"Elder Pei, I am personally very interested in the exchange terms you proposed, but after reporting to the headquarters, I was directly rejected.

Their requirements are the same as Zhelinshan's, to win this big project and start local production at all costs. Moreover, they will also give me special subsidies to ensure that I win this price war.

So, I’m really sorry, we each have our own masters and we can only fight for blood, so please don’t take your anger out on me because of this.”

"Oh, it's really a pity, Elder Jin, we can only fight to see who has the tougher body?"

"I'm afraid it can only be like this. This is the sect's behavior and has nothing to do with you and me. I hope it won't hurt the harmony." Jin Ziming sighed.

"Won't."

Three days later, with one day left before the first round of bidding, in a conference room of the Shengxing City branch, the project team was having final discussions on individual terms and quotations of the bid document.

At this time, most people still don't know Jin Ziming's true intentions.

"The price reduction protection clause this time is more stringent than before. It is fixed within two years of arrival. If there is a price reduction, the price difference must be paid."

"We cannot answer 'not satisfied'. I asked Elder Chen of the Veromen in private, and he made it very clear to me that this must be met, and the Veromen cannot give in on this."

"Then how about we change it to 'only accept one-year price reduction protection'?" someone suggested.

"I don't think it's possible. If you answer this way, you still face the risk of being eliminated. After all, the main competitors will definitely answer 'satisfied'."

Jin Ziming remained silent. Listening to everyone's discussion, he suddenly had an idea about how to prevent himself from falling into the pit. He said calmly:

"The headquarters has a lot of disputes over the two-year price guarantee. It would be too hasty to answer 'satisfied' now. If the bid is finally won and the headquarters refuses to accept it, wouldn't we be dumbfounded?"

For this one, just answer ‘to be determined’ for the time being, and if people from Veromen ask, just say that they are still applying to the headquarters.”

"But, Great Elder, I have been bidding for so many years and I have never seen anyone answer 'to be determined', only 'satisfied' or 'not satisfied'. What if the answer to 'to be determined' puts us out of the game?"

"Since we have left room for ourselves in terms of terms, we should be more sincere in terms of price." He then said a discount, which shocked everyone.

"Great Elder, it's definitely not possible to answer 'to be determined' like this. Even if you offer a low price, you may be eliminated in the first round." Someone was anxious.

"This price is too aggressive. Although the final transaction price will definitely be lower, if this is the price quoted in the first round, we will have no room for price reduction in the subsequent rounds."

"Think about it carefully, in the previous rounds, what situation does Veromen want to see the most?" Jin Ziming inspired.

"Of course, all companies actively participated and actively bargained for prices." Feng Kai replied.
