Anyong Company rented out all the rooms on the top floor of the most luxurious Friendship Hotel in Gui'an City at the time and used it as a temporary office space. He Duo's office was a huge three-room suite, and the living room after entering was changed into a foyer and
In the secretary's office, He Duo's office is on the left, and the reception room is on the right. The security guards at the door of the office are all wearing suits and ties, looking very stylish.
Although I have never discussed business with such a big boss, I have seen some markets, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable sitting in Heduo’s luxurious reception room. My dad has never seen such luxurious facilities, but he is good at letting others
It seemed like he was hiding everything.
"Brother Xu, please tell me if you have any ideas." He Duo's attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Let me introduce first. This is my eldest son Xu Wenliang. He runs a construction company." After my father introduced me, I stood up and greeted He Duo. Unexpectedly, He Duo was very enthusiastic and he also stood up.
He planned to shake hands with me. I quickly walked around the conference table and stretched out my hands to He Duo.
"Mr. Xu is really a young talent. He started a company at such a young age." He Duo's compliment made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's just a small construction team with no scale, so I want to ask Mr. He to take care of me and make a living." My dad is really good at speaking politely. This may be related to his many years as the village chief.
"Easy to say, easy to say. I'll say hello to them then and just give you as many buildings as you like." He Duo replied cheerfully.
"Mr. He, if I want to rent the apartment, I have some financial difficulties." At this time, I interjected.
"Oh, that's right, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think of our young workers?" my father asked.
"Oh, it's not impossible to do green work, but the labor costs are also a big expense, and if it doesn't go well, there will be disputes."
"If there is a dispute, I will naturally handle it. Even the settlement method of wages needs Mr. He's care."
"How do you want the settlement to be settled?"
"My company is small and has little working capital. It would be best for Mr. He to give me a monthly settlement." Monthly settlement is my best plan. I can afford the workers' monthly salary, and the risk is not big.
"Should we settle monthly? It's too frequent. I think it would be better to settle once a quarter based on the construction progress."
At the end of the quarter, I need to advance funds of 3 million, which is my entire current net worth. I cannot agree to this condition under any circumstances. I have two construction sites outside, both of which require capital turnover. So I said:
"Mr. He, three months is too long. I really have no way to turn around."
"How many buildings are you going to hire young workers for?" He Duo asked.
"We want to rent all the ten buildings for the relocation housing," my father said.
"Oh, this part of the house is easier to operate, but the three-month settlement cycle cannot be shortened any longer, and the funds we can use are also limited."
"How much working capital is needed in three months?" my dad asked.
"For 10 buildings, the monthly salary is about 1 million," I said.
"Well, that's about it. Xiao Xu's brain is very useful." He Duo said.
"Okay, as long as the price given by Boss He is right, I can borrow money from loan sharks." My father glanced at me and said.
After hearing what my father said, I felt anxious. He didn't understand how bad loan sharking was. We, the construction workers, hired young workers, so how could we dare to borrow loan sharking?
"Hahaha, Brother Xu is brave! It's easy to talk about the price. I'll ask them to calculate it later and get back to you."
After coming out of He Duo's office, I said to my father:
"I don't have so much money to advance workers' wages. Don't you know that the government is very strict about arrears of wages to migrant workers? If wages cannot be paid by then, workers will cause trouble and we will be in big trouble!"
"It's okay, don't worry, I can find a way to replenish the working capital."
"What, you have a way, you have 3 million in funds?" I asked in surprise.
"I don't have 3 million, but I can still raise 2 million. Is it enough?"
"Enough, 2 million is enough. I can raise and borrow another 1 million and we can do it."
"Okay, then it's settled, I'll provide 2 million in working capital. But..."
As soon as I heard what he said, I immediately felt a drumbeat in my heart. I asked why he wanted me to do business. It turned out that he still had a back-up plan. I quickly asked:
"But what?"
"But you have to do me a favor."
"What can you do for me?" I asked quickly.
"You do one thing for me, and after it's done, I'll give you 2 million in working capital."
"Can you tell me what you want to do first?"
"We'll talk about what we do later. After these 2 million are used up, I only want 1 million and I'll give you the other 1 million."
"Ah, what are you asking me to do? With so much money, you don't want me to kill someone," I said in surprise.
"Also, you have to give me half of the money Bao Qinggong earns this time."
I did a rough calculation. Even if the profit from this job is good, there will be a profit of 3 million. If I give him half of it, it will be 1.5 million. Including the 1 million he took back, it will only be 2.5 million.
That's 500,000 more than the initial 2 million. I don't understand why he gave me 1 million.
"Since you have 2 million, why do you still do this job? Why don't you just give all the money to Xiaokai?" I asked doubtfully.
"You are my son too, how could I not give it to you?" my father said.
After listening to what he said, I felt that there must be something going on, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such things. Growing up, I never heard him say a few nice words about me. I just looked at him in confusion at the time, without thinking about me.
Speak what is in your heart.
A few days later, He Duo contacted me and told me that the labor and machinery costs per square meter of building area were going to be settled at 400 yuan. I carefully calculated this project. At that time, the construction cost per square meter of our ground-floor building in Gui'an City was
It was about 2,000 yuan, labor cost was 300 yuan, and machinery cost was 100 yuan. The price of 400 yuan per square meter didn’t mean it could be done, but it basically didn’t make any money. So I said to He Duo:
"Mr. He, I can't do it here at a price of 400 yuan."
"Xiao Xu, the price of 400 yuan is not low. We calculated that we won't use that much at all. I have already left you a profit."
"Mr. He, I'm so sorry. Maybe it's because our company is small and the cost is relatively high."
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Village Chief Xu." After He Duo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
That afternoon, my dad came to me with a bank card and said that there was 2 million yuan in this card. If I was willing to take over the project of moving back to the building, he would provide me with working capital. I did not doubt the money in his card at that time.
There were 2 million, but I didn’t understand how he got the money. I thought about it and said to him:
"The price is really too low, and you won't make any money even if you do it."
"Then how much do you think it will cost?"
"At least 500 yuan per square meter, so we can earn more than 3 million yuan from the whole job, and each of us can share half of 15.6 million yuan." I didn't hide the profit from him.
"Okay, I'll go find He Duo again. But if I negotiate the price, you can't give in."
"Oh, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to do something else? What exactly was it?" I was still worried about that sentence, so I asked him again.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry, I'll tell you when the time comes." After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.
After a few days, he finally negotiated the price. I don’t know how he negotiated with He Duo. The labor and machinery fee of 500 yuan per square meter plus a 3-month settlement period is still very favorable in general.
. Since the profit was good and there was no problem with working capital, I decided to do this project and started making various preparations for the project.
The company that signed the contract with me was Zhongjiang Construction and Installation Corporation, and the specific person who signed the contract was the manager named Xuan under He Duo. From this, I understood that they also borrowed the qualifications of Zhongjiang Construction and Installation Corporation, and the specific operations were left to them.
People from Anyong Company will do it.
At that time, I didn’t understand why the people from Anyong Company wanted to sign this kind of subcontracting contract with me. Real estate developers usually outsource the project, and then the general contractor signs the contract with us subcontractors. Later, because
I went to He Duo to ask for money, and I overheard a conversation between them, and then I understood why someone from Anyong Company came forward to sign the contract with me.
That day I took the elevator to the top floor of the Friendship Hotel. Outside He Duo's office, the door of the office was ajar. I was about to knock on the door and go in when I heard voices coming from inside.
"Mr. He, the money from Encheng Company has not been approved yet. Please tell Mr. Meng when it's convenient." This was the voice of the publicity manager.
"Why, why didn't Mr. Meng approve it?" This was He Duo's voice.
"The specific reason was not stated, only the word "suspension" was approved.
"The company's funds have been somewhat tight recently, so he may consider cutting down on expenses."
"But if Encheng Company's payment is not received, the construction of the relocation housing will be affected."
"what happened?"
"In terms of raw materials, the relocation house only has enough for one week, and the labor has been delayed for half a month and has not been settled. Any further delay may affect the progress."
"You can transfer some raw materials from the commercial building first. As for the wages, you can ask them to wait. I will go back to Zhongjiang next week and discuss it with Mr. Meng."
After hearing this, I already understood that my search for He Duo this time was in vain. I couldn't get the money anyway, so I turned around and hurried downstairs. On the way back, I thought, how could the matter of moving back to the house have anything to do with Encheng Company?
Isn't it the general contractor of Zhongjiang Construction and Installation Corporation? Could it be that An Yong contracted it to Encheng, Encheng contracted it to Zhongjiang Construction and Installation Corporation, and then Jian'an Corporation subcontracted it to me.
Later I asked my dad, what does Encheng Company do? Why do the funds for the construction of relocation housing need to be transferred through Encheng Company? My dad told me that when the company was first established, He Duo said that Encheng Company
He was contracted to carry out demolition and relocation work for Anyong, but he didn't know exactly what he was doing.
After hearing what my father said, I gradually understood the scheme. Encheng Company belongs to He Duo. Although he told my father that it was a cooperation, in fact, he was the one operating it. My father didn't know anything. He Duo
Duoli Encheng Company contracted the demolition and relocation business from Anyong Company to gain a new skin for itself in this business.
My father later told me that Encheng Company was dissolved after the project was completed, and he did not get a penny from Encheng Company. Because he had no evidence in his hand, he went to see He Duo once, but He Duo was not seen at all.
he.
After I signed the contract with Zhongjiang Construction Company, my father gave me his bank card. After I checked at the bank, I found that there was indeed 2 million yuan in the card.
