Li Wei said: "Miss Hua must have seen the announcement issued by our education. The specific conditions are listed above. If Miss Hua's company has sufficient qualifications and strength, there will naturally be opportunities for cooperation."
Hua Yuzhang said confidently: "Our Huajiang Company is the largest construction engineering company in South China and even Hecheng. If our qualifications are not enough, I believe no other company in South China will be enough."
Li Wei said: "That's good. Huajiang Company is welcome to register with the Education Bureau. We will conduct an open bidding this time. Since Miss Hua's Huajiang Company is so powerful, it will definitely win the bid."
Hua Yuzhang smiled and said: "According to Li Bureau's auspicious words, our Huajiang Company still has a project in Hecheng, and I am going to hand over the work in South China to Zhang Lu. It just so happens that you are old classmates, so I don't have to introduce it to you.
Already."
Zhang Lu said: "Director Li, this is my first mission, you must help me."
Li Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I can help you without violating my principles, I will definitely help you."
The meal was quite pleasant. After the meal, Li Wei and Zhang Lu exchanged mobile phone numbers. Zhang Lu said: "Well, it has been more than six years since I graduated. How about having a chance to get together with my classmates?
I miss them so much.”
Li Wei: "Okay, I'll contact you."
Zhang Lu said: "Now that you are the director, you will be in charge of this matter."
Li Wei shook his hand and said: "Forget it, let our old squad leader take charge."
The two talked for a while, and Zhang Lu got into Hua Yuzhang's car and left. Li Wei helped Director Zhong get into the car. He was worried about him driving, so he drove him back in his car first. On the way, Li Wei asked: "Director Zhong."
, what is your relationship with this Hua Yuzhang? Let’s get it straight.”
Director Zhong said with a loud tongue: "Really, it doesn't matter. I owed her a favor before. She asked me to date you, and I couldn't refuse. However, you should do whatever you have to do. You don't have to look at my face.
.”
Li Wei said: "As long as it has nothing to do with you, I know it in my heart. Director Zhong, I want to ask you something. You can help me check tomorrow. What is the strength of this Huajiang company? If it is really strong, give them
It’s not a bad idea to do one or two projects.”
Director Zhong said: "This, this is simple. I will ask my friends in Hecheng to check it tomorrow and then give you some advice."
The next day, Director Zhong called and told Li Wei that Huajiang Company was indeed very powerful and had built many major projects in Hecheng, including the first overpass in Hecheng. It was indeed a first-class construction engineering company.
Li Wei was relieved. Without a large and powerful company participating in the bidding, it would be difficult to guarantee the quality of school building construction.
On Monday, after the regular meeting, Li Wei led the bureau to inspect the preparations for the ten project construction schools. Except for the No. 3 Middle School, which did not meet the requirements of three connections and one leveling due to the demolition of two households, the other schools had completed the preparations.
Li Wei immediately made the decision to let the education bureau stationed in the No. 3 Middle School to negotiate with the residents on behalf of the Education Bureau and strive to solve the demolition issue on the day of the bidding.
On Tuesday, Chai Li came in nervously and reported: "I don't know what happened. More than a dozen builders came to the Education Bureau and said they no longer planned to participate in the bidding, and asked for a refund of the 50,000 yuan deposit. Will the refund be non-refundable?"
Li Wei also found it strange that the bidding was about to be held in three days. At this time, so many people asked to withdraw. There must be something wrong. Li Wei asked: "How many bids have been submitted in total?"
Chai Li said: "A total of 27 companies have applied, and now 15 companies have requested to withdraw."
Li Wei thought for a while and said: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so she can just retreat. How can there be any reason to ask someone to do a project?"
Chai Li said: "Then I will ask the financial stocks to withdraw. These people are still waiting at my place."
When Chai Li went out, Li Wei suddenly remembered that Hua Yuzhang's Huajiang Company said he wanted to sign up, but he didn't know if he had signed up. He asked: "Among the companies that signed up, is there a Huajiang Company?"
Chai Li thought for a moment and said, "No? What? It's your friend's company? If you want to sign up, please hurry. The deadline is at five o'clock today."
Li Wei said: "I understand."
After Chai Li left, Li Wei quietly came to the door of the bureau office and saw that the office was full of people, noisy and with bad attitudes.
A big man with a full beard said arrogantly: "Refund the money quickly, I have a lot to do and don't have time to waste it here."
The people in the office also said angrily: "You can withdraw if you want? What is a deposit? It's just to prevent people like you from going back on your word."
An old man with a sick look on his face said: "I know it's our fault, but I really have something to do with my family, so I can't delay the project, right? I don't ask you to refund the money. We accept the information you were given and how much it costs."
Then Chai Li squeezed in and said to the staff: "Quit, Director Li said: Then beg people to do the project? I hope you won't regret it."
The staff member said: "Refund everything? We also spent a lot of money on the engineering materials."
Chai Li said: "Return them all and take back the information."
The staff issued invoices to them, and more than a dozen people cursed and took the invoices to the finance department to collect payment.
Li Wei quietly focused his thoughts on them, and soon learned the reason for their withdrawal: last night, these people all received a letter with five-pointed maple drawn on it. The letter said that this time the construction projects of ten schools
, all taken over by the Maple Leaf Society, asking them to withdraw from the bidding immediately. Those who want to do the project can negotiate with the Maple Leaf Society later, and their interests will be guaranteed, but if they do not withdraw within two days, they will bear the consequences.
The Maple Leaf Society is a well-hidden social organization in South China with a wide distribution of personnel. Ordinary people may not know about it, but those who work in engineering are not unaware of it. If you offend the Maple Leaf Society, you may not be able to hire a car in South China.
, if you can’t recruit a single worker and can’t get a penny from the bank, how can you get the project done?
There was once a wealthy boss who offended the Maple Leaf Club, and the Maple Leaf Club spread the word, saying that the boss would be forced to close down the company within a month and bankrupt the entire family. As a result, the next day, more than half of the goods sold by the company were required to be returned, and the suppliers
They no longer provided him with sources of goods, and could not borrow a penny from the bank. It only lasted twenty days before it declared bankruptcy. The debts owed to others could not be recovered, and the debts owed to others were being pursued every day, so they had to give up the house and car.
After all the property was sold to pay off the debt, the boss really went bankrupt within a month and became a penniless pauper.
Therefore, people who work on projects say that they would rather offend the county magistrate than offend Xia Jiang. Xia Jiang is said to be the boss of the Maple Leaf Club, but this is just a legend and no one knows who Xia Jiang is.
Li Wei felt that things were a bit tricky. This time, he applied for a total of 26 companies, and suddenly withdrew from 15 companies, leaving only 11 companies. It is very likely that these 11 companies are all trustees of the Maple Leaf Society. If it is true
In this way, the bidding three days later will most likely be manipulated by them.
If this happens, the South China Education Bureau's massive bidding will become a joke.
Back in the office, Li Wei immediately called Lu Xuemin and asked: "Is there an organization called Maple Leaf Club in South China?"
Lu Xuemin said in surprise: "There is such an underground society, but very few people know about it. How did you know?"
Li Wei said: "Someone, in the name of the Maple Leaf Club, sent threatening letters to the builders who came to the Education Bureau to sign up for bidding, asking them to withdraw from the bidding. The letters had a five-pointed maple leaf painted on them."
Lu Xuemin said: "The five-cornered maple leaf is indeed the symbol of the Maple Leaf Club, but they rarely publicize high-profile activities. This time is very abnormal."
Li Wei said: "The public bidding will be held in three days. It will be troublesome if no one comes to bid by then. So, you should immediately send someone to investigate to see who did it. You must find this person before the bidding."
Lu Xuemin said: "No problem, you will fax the name and information of the builder who withdrew from the bidding, and I will immediately have someone start investigating."
Li Wei said: "Pay special attention to a person named Ye Zhizhong. I suspect that this matter is related to this person."
Lu Xuemin said: "Okay, I will send someone to keep an eye on him. As long as there is no problem with him, we will definitely find out if there is any problem."
Li Wei thanked Bureau Lu and called Chai Li to send the information about those people to Bureau Lu.
After thinking about it, I called Zhang Lu again and asked, "Zhang Lu, didn't your Huajiang company say you want to sign up? Why haven't you signed up yet?"
Zhang Lu said: "This morning, I was going to come over to sign up. I just received a call from Mr. Hua, saying that the company received a threatening letter from the Maple Leaf Club last night, warning Huajiang Company not to come to South China this time.
Muddy Waters. Boss Hua seems to be quite wary of those Maple Leaf Clubs. He asked me to wait and see, but he is still hesitating."
Li Wei thought to himself: Even Huajiang Company has received the letter? These people are quite arrogant. Huajiang Company's background is not comparable to that of ordinary small companies. Hua Yuzhang, even the arrogant Director Zhong has to give her a few
This is evident from the face you give.
Li Wei said: "Tell Boss Hua, just tell her to come and sign up with confidence. I guarantee that nothing will happen to her."
Zhang Lu said: "Okay, I will convey your intention to Mr. Hua."
Huajiang Company did not come to the education center to sign up until 48pm that day, just before the registration deadline, and became the twelfth applicant."
The next day, another company withdrew. However, no other company signed up, leaving only eleven companies participating in the bidding.
Li Wei called Lu Xuemin and asked about the investigation. Director Lu said: Through hard work, he has obtained threatening letters from three bosses. The letters are printed and they are investigating and it will take time.
On the third day, Xiwen came back from vacation. In fact, he was not on vacation. He secretly went to Qinxi Design Institute with architectural materials from ten schools. Through the introduction of his college classmates, he invited three famous design experts.
Nestled in a resort deep in the Qinling Mountains, I spent nine days designing the architectural drawings of ten schools and working out the budget.
It was a lie to avoid the disaster of favors. Designing drawings and budgeting targets were the real purpose of his going out. This was also what he and Li Wei had secretly discussed.
After Xi Wenmin returned to the Education Bureau, he sent the design drawings and three-dimensional renderings of the experts to Li Wei for review. Li Wei praised them greatly and said: "The school building is the main body of the campus and an important carrier of campus culture. It must be
You must have personality and characteristics, and an expert is an expert, and this is reflected very well."
Xi Wenmin closed the door, handed Li Wei a piece of paper, and whispered: "The targets of each project have been calculated, please take a look."
Li Wei said: "You will be responsible for this matter to the end, and I will not watch it."
Xi Wenmin smiled and said, "This is a huge business secret. Aren't you afraid that I will leak it?"
Li Wei smiled: "I still trust Teacher Xi's character."
After the two discussed, they held a bidding meeting in the afternoon of the same day, notifying all the legal persons of the eleven construction engineering companies to attend, and sent them copies of the design drawings of all projects, and asked them to go back and make budgets based on the drawings and prepare bids.
It must be delivered to the bidding site before 2:30 pm tomorrow. If it is not delivered after the expiration date, it will be deemed as a waiver.
Li Wei secretly focused his thoughts on these people. Sure enough, among the eleven construction companies, except Hua Yuzhang's Huajiang Company, Wuyang Company from Hecheng and Lanxia Company from Qinxi, all were Ye Zhizhong's
Trustee of Admiralty Company.
I don’t know how Xue Min’s investigation is going. If Ye Zhizhong cannot be found before tomorrow’s bid opening meeting, there will be big trouble at tomorrow’s bid opening meeting.
