Raising prices from the ground up is not a Chinese patent, African brothers are also familiar with it.
Fatty Wei finally confirmed his previous opinion and stood at the door and whispered to Li Zheng: "Look! What I said is right! The price has gone up!"
Li Zheng was eye-opening and stunned when he saw Hamfata's saucy maneuver.
Unexpectedly, I thought that this fat African man was serious about his work, but he didn't expect that it was all a trap.
The doors and windows were reasonably priced and the entry speed was fast, but they set a small trap in the construction period.
Fortunately, Commander Xia was attentive and asked more questions. Otherwise, after taking down the plan for this project and telling you about the construction period after entering the site, the mud would have stuck to your hands and you would have made your hands dirty even if you shook them off.
"So..." Xia Zhiguo asked Hamfatah: "How much should I add?"
Hamfata smiled slyly, stretched out a finger and said: "If we can add 10,000 xifa for each door and window, I think it will be no problem according to your construction period, 15 days."
10,000 West Fa is approximately one hundred RMB.
The price, even if you say it's expensive, doesn't count.
But Xia Zhiguo doesn't like this kind of temporary price increase. It's a bit like taking advantage of others.
So I felt a little unhappy.
"Mr. Hamfata, if you want to increase money, it will require additional funding. I have to apply to my superiors, so I can't agree to it now. How about this? You go back first, and I will apply to my superiors. I will leave it for you.
I’ll give you a call. You can call me the day after tomorrow and I’ll give you an answer.”
"no problem."
There was no look of embarrassment on Hamfata's face, and he answered directly and neatly. When he arrived, he politely said goodbye to Xia Zhiguo and Han Jiangyuan who were present.
"Goodbye, my Chinese friend, we will see you in two days."
After that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
This confused Xia Zhiguo, and he asked Han Jiangyuan after a long time: "Why do you think he is so confident? What does he mean, we can't make the doors and windows here without him?"
Of course Han Jiangyuan understood what Xia Zhiguo meant.
Of course, funds for doors and windows must be applied to the financial department of the United L Mission. The problem is that Xia Zhiguo said this not because he wanted to increase funds and deliberately asked Hamfata to go back and wait for news, but he really didn't believe it. This city J also
There is more than just one store in Hamfata, and it is not a unique business, so just shop around.
"I'm also surprised. Is there no one else who can do decoration in J City except him?"
Xia Zhiguo said: "In this case... you can contact the United L Group later and ask them if they have any familiar partners before. Some of them will just give you a call and ask about the price and construction period. If not, go to
Look for it in the city. I don’t believe it anymore. Without Zhang Butcher, we have to eat pigs with hair on them?”
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Although Xia Zhiguo is a senior commander, he still underestimated the national conditions and current situation here.
He thought that in two days he would be able to find a project partner with better conditions than those proposed by Hamfata.
Unexpectedly, he soon understood why Hamfatah was so confident before he left.
That night, Han Jiangyuan came over to report the matter.
"Commander, don't say anything yet..."
He had just returned from the market, picked up the water cup on the table and drank a sip of water to replenish the water in his body that had been evaporated outside.
"We contacted the United L Group and went to the city to search. Not to mention, except for the store in Hamfatah, other stores either take a long time to prepare their stocks and need to use one just to enter the store.
The preparation is three months, and the construction period and price are the same as those in Hamfata. There is only one word in advance - add money."
Xia Zhiguo was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, if this were the case, it would really not be as real as Hamfata.
So I asked: "Isn't there a familiar engineering partner in the joint L group?"
Hearing this, Han Jiangyuan immediately smiled bitterly: "Yes, but the one that undertook the most projects in J City is Hamfa Tower. He also undertook the water and electricity installation of the previous national peacekeeping camp in the city. Do you want to tell me if there are any others?
than him
More powerful engineering businessmen? Yes, but in the capital, it takes more than 300 kilometers to get here. The toll alone is not cost-effective, and it is not safe everywhere. Even if you look for it, no one will dare to take it here.
Work."
"I mean—" Xia Zhiguo scratched his head: "It's so evil. No wonder he said he would see you in two days when he left that day. The relationship is determined that we can't find anyone else."
This is the reality.
In fact, there are many things that Xia Zhiguo doesn't know about.
The reason why Hamfatah is sure that he will hand over the door and window project here and that there is no other competitor in the city that can compete with him is because of another little-known secret.
These two buildings themselves were former government office buildings. Later, the war broke out. Fighting took place here and they were moved out after they were empty.
The two buildings were already in war before they were officially put into use, so more than half of the door and window accessories have not been fully installed and have been lying in the government's material warehouse.
After Hamfata learned that a peacekeeping camp was stationed here, he knew that sooner or later the doors and windows here would have to be installed by someone, and it was absolutely impossible for the United L Group to install them themselves. He had dealt with the United L Group a lot, and Hamfata knew that the doors and windows here would be installed by someone.
Fata had long been clear about this group of people, and knew that the new peacekeeping troops would find him sooner or later, so he found the person in charge of these doors and windows through connections, and collected them at an extremely cheap price.
Precisely because the doors and windows are ready-made, the number of doors and windows that need to be added is less than one-third. Therefore, in J City, no one can enter the market as quickly as he can. After all, the materials are ready-made, and others still need them.
He had to go back to measure, make prototypes, and then make finished products. In this aspect alone, he had enough advantages, so he had the confidence he had before.
It was the second day when Hamfata entered the camp again, because Xia Zhiguo was not a person who had trouble with him. Since he was the only one in J City who could complete the task the fastest, it seemed that he would hand over this project to him.
He had no choice, so before the two days were up, Li Zheng saw this fat middle-aged African man outside the gate again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This time the contract was quickly finalized, the door and window project was handed over to Hamfata, the money was increased, and the construction period was fifteen days.
After the conversation, Hamfata pretended to measure the dimensions of the doors and windows, and Han Jiangyuan asked Li Zheng and Fatty Wei to take him there.
Along the way, the two chatted in French for a while. They heard that Li Zheng could speak English, and Hamfata chatted with Li Zheng in English again.
Only then did Li Zheng realize that he had underestimated the fat African uncle in front of him.
Hamfata only graduated from junior high school, but he actually knows six languages, including French, English, Arabic, local languages and the languages of two minority ethnic groups in the Sahel region. Except for his own language, he learned all other languages by himself.
When he was young, Hamfata traveled around various African countries. Later, when he returned to his hometown, he encountered war. Many people ran away, but he did not run away. He believed that there was hope in troubled times. As long as he had the ability, he could succeed anywhere.
Can eat meat.
Facts have proven him right.
In this war-torn land, the need for survival will force a person to do anything. Just as along the way, he has distributed his business cards to Li Zheng and Fatty Wei, and introduced very enthusiastically that he has nothing but water and electricity installation.
In addition to construction and decoration, he can also help buy specialties here, and can also provide mailing and purchasing services for private individuals. If you need anything in the camp, you even need to contact the water company and connect with the local government functional departments. He can do errands.
Charge a handling fee that he thinks is very reasonable.
At first, Li Zheng didn't think much of this fat African uncle, but now he sincerely admired this man. He was a college student at a prestigious university. If he hadn't joined the army as a soldier, he would have put himself in an environment like L country.
Can we survive as vigorously and tenaciously as the weeds emerging from the cracks in the rocks like Hamfata Tower?
Perhaps, the path to learning is not only university. Sometimes, society and the environment are also the best teachers.
