"Since you expected an economic recession, why didn't you warn me that it would be difficult for you?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jin and asked.
"I just have a hunch, and there is no data to support my remarks. The only data I have is purchased from consulting companies at a high price."
"Do you think it's more detailed in the above that those bricklayers call the beasts more, or do you think it's better to believe my words?"
"Those bricklayers can see the real data."
Gao Jin immediately asked back, leaving Zhang Hongbin speechless again. You can't refute what Gao Jin said. You can even think about it with your toes and know what the result will be.
"Gao Jin, I ask you to do me a favor. Open a project in Rizao Market, as long as it can stabilize the employment of a thousand people." Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jin and said his request.
Gao Jingang was about to fight back, but when he saw Zhang Hongbin's eyes, he hesitated.
"Brother Zhang, we have known each other for so many years. Let me tell you the truth, I really don't have any projects in my hands now."
"Or, you say I have acquired a project."
"how"
After dealing with Zhang Hongbin for so many years, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings. Now seeing Zhang Hongbin in such a dilemma, Gao Jin really can't say anything to refuse him directly.
After listening to Gao Jin's words, Zhang Hongbin felt very touched. However, he couldn't think of any projects for Gao Jin to acquire at the moment.
"When will this economic recession end?" Zhang Hongbin asked again, changing the topic.
Gao Jin is interesting enough, but Zhang Hongbin cannot act recklessly. Those projects that are obviously losing money must not be said. Projects with good prospects are still in the normal operation stage.
"Hard to say"
"Economic recession is not a problem for one country, but a problem for all countries in the world. This problem is too big and cannot be answered by me."
"but"
"If all countries launch appropriate economic stimulus, the end of the economic recession will come soon. This is something big people are considering."
"I'm just a business person. I'm lucky to be able to be alone."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly. He could only say this, otherwise, it would be against the law, and he would have to pay a price.
"You."
After Zhang Hongbin finished speaking, he slowly shook his head, understanding that Gao Jin didn't want to cause trouble. You can't blame Gao Jin from this point of view.
"You must participate in the Panama Economic Forum. It is best to speak your mind. It will be good for the recovery of the world economy."
"You are the richest man in the world and have great influence internationally. You should say more positive words to encourage everyone to strive and get rid of the impact of the economic recession."
Zhang Hongbin kindly reminded Gao Jin not to be so straightforward when speaking on the forum. Sometimes, lies are also kind.
Gao Jin understood Zhang Hongbin's thoughts and it was indeed for his own good. He thought for a moment and said, "You might as well push it for me. Just say that I am not in good health and cannot make the trip."
"What I say is too easy to cause impact and will make many people feel uncomfortable. It is the best way for me not to participate."
Gao Jin's words were too straightforward and went straight to the core of the issue, which made many people unable to stand up.
but.
Gao Jin didn't say these words blindly. After he finished speaking, he would propose a solution. He was not the kind of person who just stirred up the topic and then stayed away to watch the fun.
After each speech by Gao Jin, the policy was fine-tuned, and the final results made the bosses very satisfied.
This kind of thing has happened many times, and the problem of Gao Jin's straightforward speaking is no longer a problem. He knew that Gao Jin's words would make many people unhappy, but he still asked Gao Jin to participate by name.
This time at the Panama Economic Forum, there were many requests from China for Gao Jin to participate. Now that the world economy is in recession, there is a great need for people to come up with ideas to solve this problem.
Gao Jin, who dares to tell the truth and can also provide a solution, has become one of the candidates who must participate in the forum.
"How can I say who you have in mind? I won't get involved. As for your acquisition of the project, I'll go back and check it out."
"Farewell"
After Zhang Hongbin finished speaking, he stood up. Gao Jin also stood up and stopped Zhang Hongbin.
"It's already this time. Don't leave at noon. Just have a drink at my place."
"Ask me to acquire a project, which is a big achievement."
Gao Jin said this with a smile. Zhang Hongbin also smiled and shook his head slightly. "One project cannot change the overall environment. Letting those enterprises strengthen themselves is our purpose."
"The mayor went down early in the morning and was busy doing research. As the squad leader, I can't just relax with a drink here."
After saying that, Zhang Hongbin walked towards the door. Gao Jin did not stop him from sending Zhang Hongbin out. After walking out of the office and entering the elevator, Zhang Hongbin did not let Gao Jin see him off again.
Watching the elevator door close, Gao Jin muttered to himself, "It's not easy."
I returned to the office and looked at the invitation again. The forum will be held in a month, so there is plenty of time.
He walked out of the office with the invitation and went to Sonia's small office. He handed the invitation to her and said, "Just keep it, arrange my schedule, and set off ten days before the forum."
"OK"
Sonia took the invitation and started to get busy. She calculated the time and started making arrangements on her notepad.
"By the way, please make some arrangements. If you don't have anything to do in the past few days, arrange your itinerary and let's go to Patis Island." Gao Jin warned again, and Sonia agreed.
Gao Jin didn't know how to work in the office anymore, so he went outside and sat on a chair to wait. It didn't take long. Sonia finished her work, and the two of them went downstairs to the cafeteria to eat.
Ordinary days passed day by day, and the media from various countries were either reporting on economic issues or celebrity news. Gao Jin felt very boring watching these news.
When I got home from work that day, while having dinner, Sonia said, "Boss, I'm going to take leave tomorrow. Jian Jian is back. I'll pick her up at the airport."
"Okay, let's see what gift she brought me." Gao Jin agreed casually.
"One more thing, as the boss told me last time, nothing happened recently. The boss can leave for Patis Island," Sonia said again.
"Say anything else," Gao Jin put down his chopsticks and said.
"The contractor of Rock Island sent a fax, hoping to negotiate with me about the factory payment. The difficulty of building the airport on Rock Island exceeded their expectations."
"If they continue to implement the contract, they will suffer a lot of losses. They hope to negotiate with us to increase funds."
"No more, just these two things."
After Sonia finished speaking, she immediately started eating, while Gao Jin sat there with a thoughtful expression on his face. Finally, he gave up and called Peng Jianguo later to ask what was going on.
He picked up the bowl and started to eat quickly. After taking a few mouthfuls, he suddenly said, "Ask Joanna and Zhou Zongyan to see who has time to go to Patis Island together."
After hearing this, Sonia simply "hummed" to express her displeasure. Gao Jin pretended to be invisible and ate his meal quickly, not caring about Sonia's expression at all.
Not long after, Gao Jin finished his meal, wiped his mouth, left the restaurant and went directly upstairs. Sonia's eyes began to spin as she looked at Gao Jin's back.
When he came to the study, Gao Jin made a pot of tea, picked up the phone and started calling Peng Jianguo. Soon, the call was connected, "Mr. Gao, I plan to go to the morning market in two days. I didn't expect you to call today."
".
Peng Jianguo's bold voice came over. Gao Jin smiled after hearing this and asked, "I heard from the assistant that you sent a fax saying that the Rock Island project was over budget. What's going on?"
"Young Master Gao, I went to the early morning market just to have the audacity to discuss this matter with you."
"After the small deep-water terminal was put into use, the construction of Rock Island entered the fast lane, and the land at the airport also began to be leveled."
"During this process, we discovered a characteristic, that is, the geology of the rocky island is a bit loose."
"According to our calculations, once the airport is built and used for five or six years, there will be no problems. However, if it exceeds six years, the entire foundation where the airport is located will have loose problems."
"This is caused by geological issues across the rocky island"
"To solve this problem, we must invest heavily to build thousands of cement pillars around the airport to fix the surrounding terrain. Only in this way can we ensure that the airport will be used for no less than ten years."
"We calculated that if the cement pillar project is completed, the entire airport budget will exceed more than 200 million."
"No, I can only talk to my brother about this matter shamelessly."
Peng Jianguo told the matter truthfully. After listening to it, Gao Jin understood what was going on. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this matter was not a big deal, and an additional project payment was nothing.
Besides, Peng Jianguo did not have to tell Gao Jin about this matter. As long as the airport was delivered and operated smoothly for one year, it would not be Guojian Group's problem.
Now that Peng Jianguo has told Gao Jin the truth, this shows that Peng Jianguo values the cooperation with Xingling Group and does not want the friendship between the two companies to be affected by problems at the airport five or six years later.
"It's not a big deal. Don't stop running back and forth, brother. I'm leaving the morning market in the next two days for a trip abroad."
"In this way, you can make a detailed budget increase report and go to Guan Hongsheng. I will explain this matter to him and transfer the money to you directly."
Gao Jin said this calmly. Going to Patis Island this time was not that simple. He had other things to deal with, and he didn't want his time to be delayed by such a trivial matter.
"Young Master Gao is so generous! Brother, I am convinced." Peng Jianguo said this with emotion. Gao Jin's courage makes you unconvinced.
The two chatted for a while, and Gao Jin ended the call with Peng Jianguo. According to Peng Jianguo's prediction, by the end of this year, the airport, ring road, living area, and main building of the research institute on Rock Island will be completed.
It will take two months to renovate it after the new year and it will be ready for use.
