As soon as Chen Taizhong said this, the two men were speechless. However, Zhang Sui couldn't help but secretly mutter: If the price of coal really drops sharply, you may ask the supplier to reduce the price because of your unreasonableness.
This guess is actually not wrong. District Chief Chen himself is not an old-fashioned person. If the price drops to an extremely low level, he will naturally find the supplier and "friendly" negotiate the price.
However, then again, Chen Taizhong is currently building a system and will not go back on his promise. This is the case with this coal purchase. Although the quantity is not too small, the delivery period is short, with a total of four months, and the execution time is
In a short period of time, it is relatively guaranteed that coal prices will not fluctuate too much, and the risk for both Party A and Party B will be much smaller.
As for the next order, it is the supply price of the next order. District Chief Chen has no intention of breaching the contract on this order. Even if the price of coal drops unexpectedly in the short term, the "only price" indicated in the contract can ensure that the district will implement it.
When signing a contract, you will not be attacked - our government also needs to be trustworthy.
After Zhang Sui was silent for a while, he finally spoke with difficulty, "We still want to terminate this contract. We are not professionals and cannot afford the trouble. May I ask District Chief Chen, what do we need to do?"
"Just pay the liquidated damages." Chen Taizhong replied lazily. Some people just don't shed tears when they see the coffin. They want to save some face for you, but you don't even want it. That's no wonder, buddy, "Fifty thousand
Tons of liquidated damages, 20%, you see... I am still very honest."
"District Chief Chen... I also made a special trip here, and I am very sincere." At this time, Zhang Sui no longer considered whether he had the courage to go to Chaotian to pursue liquidated damages. Not only was the man named Chen powerful, he also had them on his hands.
As for the evidence of supplying goods to Ufa, Huaheng would be passive even if a lawsuit was filed, not to mention that they would probably not even file a lawsuit.
Therefore, Zhang always tried to solve the problem through friendly negotiation, "The time was very timely and it did not delay many things in the district. Twenty percent of 50,000 tons, more than two million is really a bit too much. Do you think..."
Can you be accommodating?"
"You go to the relevant person in charge about this." Chen Taizhong waved his hand, "We are honest and willing to consider for merchants, but I must emphasize that there are still three companies watching the results of the district's treatment of Huaheng."
"You just have to make the decision." Zhang Sui replied with a smile. This person in front of him is the real head of Beichong. He is so stupid that he doesn't talk to this person and goes to find other relevant people in charge?
"With such a small amount of money, you want me to make a decision?" Chen Taizhong looked at him disdainfully and waved his hand, "I am a system person. You can go find the comrades below to do the work."
Well, if you have more money, you won't care about the system. Zhang Sui heard it clearly. He thought that he had caused a big situation in the eyes of others. It was unimaginable that he was despised by a small district chief, and he was still
Such a backward county.
The wealth is really overwhelming, Mr. Zhang sighed inwardly, he nodded with a smile, looked at the young reporter again, and found that Xiao Li had no intention of following, "District Chief Chen, I'll leave first..." Shilu, I
Waiting for you in the car."
He was bound to pull Li Shilu along. Hua Heng didn't have many acquaintances in Beichong, and Wang Ninghu made it clear that he didn't want to get involved. Xiao Li's popularity in Beichong was what he wanted to use.
Reporter Li nodded indifferently. At this point, he felt quite embarrassed to really talk about the difference between planned economy and market economy. He was not afraid of debate, but Mr. Zhang had some tricks behind his back, and was too
Brother Zhong caught him, and he couldn't even defend himself. It was obvious that he was angry because he was so unreasonable.
So, after Zhang Sui left, he explained tactfully, "I really didn't know there were three more companies, otherwise I wouldn't have come with him, but I think that when purchasing bulk goods, we should pay attention to market factors."
"Even if you win my argument, what will happen?" Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard this. He thought the stubborn Li Shilu was quite interesting, "I am making a short-term purchase. Since both parties have a commitment to each other, of course I have to do it."
Be honest.”
"Following the market does not mean being dishonest." Li Shilu insisted on his point of view, "We must pay attention to the market's adjustment ability."
"Is there someone hoarding? Is there someone maliciously suppressing it? The market economy is not omnipotent." Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes helplessly, "In this era of materialistic desires, integrity is a very rare quality..."
"Stick to the bottom line of being a human being, do what you should do, and you will not regret it in the future. Don't feel unbalanced because you have gained huge benefits because of others' dishonesty. You insist on what you want to insist on, and those who are dishonest will
While reaping benefits, they also lost a lot of things. They feel that they are happy. If you stick to your true intentions, how can you not be happy?"
"You are an idealistic person." Li Shilu smiled bitterly, "Today's society is too impetuous, and the level of moral ethics is also declining rapidly. Chinese people really cannot compare to foreigners in terms of integrity and other qualities.
"I don't like hearing what you say." Chen Taizhong wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say. He had no choice. Among the many rebirths or time travellers, District Chief Chen was a very failed master.
, I don’t remember that a few years ago in my previous life, the iron ore mines in Australia and Brazil skyrocketed, otherwise it would be very satisfying to use it as a prophecy and slap in the face at this moment.
After pondering for a moment, he murmured in a low voice, "In a capitalistic society, to put it bluntly, whoever has a big fist has a loud voice... If Chinese people don't respect integrity, do they learn from foreigners and forget about cloisonne and rice paper?"
"
Your fists are big, so you have a loud voice! Li Shilu muttered in his heart, and stood up from the wooden bench in the corridor with a smile, "Mr. Zhang can be considered my food and clothing father... Who should I talk to about this matter?"
"Go to whoever you should go to, don't mess around." Chen Taizhong warned him.
Li Shilu came to Zhang Sui's car. Mr. Zhang had just put down the phone. Seeing his hesitant expression, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Shilu, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged, but District Chief Chen is right, Hua Heng
After all, he is not professional and has poor ability to withstand risks.”
"Anyway, I got a good lesson from him." Reporter Li muttered bitterly.
"You feel wronged. I know that I will look after you later." Mr. Zhang replied with a smile, "Should we go find Director Wang of the Planning Committee now? I learned about it and Director Wang is very valued by District Mayor Chen."
"They...actually nothing." Li Shilu shook his head. He often went to Beichong and knew the relationship between the two. Of course, he didn't know how much Chen Taizhong valued Wang Yuanyuan. "It's better to find him first."
Let’s take charge of the district chief Liu Haifang.”
District Chief Liu was chatting with Shi Shuhua in the office, talking about the cooperation between Beichong and Scarlett. When he heard that Zhang Sui wanted to talk about reducing liability for breach of contract, his first sentence was, "What did District Chief Chen say?"
Mr. Zhang didn't dare to respond haphazardly. As soon as he heard the other party's questions, he knew that Chen Taizhong would have to make the final decision on how to deal with them one by one. So he gave a rough explanation of Chen Taizhong's meaning. Of course, he would not be vague where it was necessary.
Will tell you clearly.
Liu Haifang thought about it. The bidding for this matter had passed through Meng Zhixin's hands. She didn't know what was in it, and she was unwilling to get involved. Let alone reducing liability for breach of contract, it was also a very sensitive matter. "Since it was Director Wang who informed
It's yours, then go talk to her."
The most worrying thing about running for the government is to have to kick the ball back and forth when encountering this kind of thing. However, Zhang Sui knew these tricks very well, so he went to the planning committee.
It was the hottest time of the day, and Wang Yuanyuan was convening a meeting with members of the Planning Committee. There were only a few people in the Planning Committee, but she had many people seconded from the Party Committee, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.
The little girl has a lot of power. This was Zhang Sui's first impression - especially among the cadres of the Planning Commission, some of them were old gangsters at first glance. It was not easy to stay in the top position.
The second thing is that Wang Yuanyuan is really as young and beautiful as the legend says. Mr. Zhang couldn't help but murmur in his heart: I hope the little girl won't be a vase and won't be too troublesome.
Facts have proved that his worries were a bit unnecessary. Wang Yuanyuan did not kick the ball out again, but appeared to be very responsible and organized: Since District Chief Chen means this, let’s go meet District Chief Liu and discuss it together.
one time.
For Zhang Sui, District Chief Liu and Director Wang were relatively easy to talk to, at least much easier to talk to than District Chief Chen. They all sat together and discussed for a while, and roughly came up with this plan: charge Hua Heng 10% of the liquidated damages.
With those three companies watching, it would be impossible not to collect Huaheng's liquidated damages, but 20% is indeed too high. Considering that Huaheng is indeed not a professional and was the first company to propose the termination of the contract, then
If it’s half off, the second one will definitely not be so cheap.
This 10%, after deducting the warranty deposit for the goods delivered, only 5% is left. Mr. Zhang hopes that the 500,000 can be postponed. In fact, he personally owes the government, and postponement means not paying.
.
In this way, Hua Heng gave up the early warranty deposit and owed Beichong another 500,000 nominally. The contract was officially terminated. For Zhang Sui, this was a satisfactory result.
Paying 500,000 yuan would save Chen Taizhong from trouble, which was a good deal. Hua Heng could transport the coal by rail and earn a lot of money per ton of coal.
But when he proposed this plan, District Chief Liu and Director Wang exchanged glances and said nothing for a long time. Until finally, Liu Haifang whispered, "Xiao Wang, since Mr. Zhang has this intention... you'd better react to the boss."
Bar."
Speaking of which, no one is afraid of halving the liability, so it won’t be an example next time. However, after halving, only half of the liquidated damages will be paid, and it will still be in the form of deduction, and the remaining half will be far away - everyone knows in their hearts that basically
Just don't come back.
This responsibility is huge and not something that ordinary people can bear, so Liu Haifang asked Wang Yuanyuan to talk to Chen Taizhong.
