After Zhai Dong signed the Longwan construction site contract, he immediately mobilized vehicles to organize the construction. Xu Wen often came to the Longwan construction site because he was not too confident about Zhai Dong's work and also needed to get information from Zhai Dong.
On this day, Xu Wen had just walked to the excavation site of the foundation trench at the Longwan construction site when a man jumped out of the dirt truck and ran towards him. Only when the man came closer did Xu Wen see clearly that it was Chen Xiaoming.
"Mr. Xu, you're here." Chen Xiaoming said out of breath.
"Oh, it turns out to be Xiao Chen."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for taking care of me. Brother Dong said that because he introduced you to me, he will give me an extra month's salary."
"Haha, it seems I'm worth a lot of money."
"Of course, anyone who can introduce us to such a big job is a big boss." Chen Xiaoming took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen took the cigarette and lit it and asked casually:
"Have you been transferred to this construction site?"
"Where is it? The management of the construction site over there is too chaotic. Our cars have been waiting for too long and we can't do the work. Brother Dong asked me to come over and help out for a few days."
"No way, the Huangwang Highway construction site is not the No. 1 highway engineering company in Jiangbei Province. How can the management level of a large company be worse?" Xu Wen asked in confusion.
"Oh, what? They're just selling sheep's heads for dog meat." Chen Xiaoming threw the cigarette butts at his feet and stamped them out, saying:
"They are all listed companies and run by a bunch of locals. The whole construction site is a mess and there are no rules at all. We can't make any money from the work."
"Did the locals do it?" Xu Wen asked puzzledly.
At this time, the sound of a car horn was heard in the distance. Chen Xiaoming saw that it was urging him, so he quickly said hello to Xu Wen and ran away.
Xu Wen returned to the project department office with the questions Chen Xiaoming asked him. He happened to encounter Sun Xinghe going out with his bag, so he stopped him and asked:
"Mr. Sun, what is a listed company?"
"Listing? What exactly do you want to ask?" Sun Xinghe didn't understand for a moment.
"It's the name of a foreign company, and local people are doing the work."
"Oh, what you are talking about is called borrowing qualifications. Some small and weak companies do not have construction qualifications, so they spend money to borrow the qualifications of large companies to contract projects. This happens often, and it is not surprising. But,
We will not use this kind of company and must undergo strict review before bidding." Sun Xinghe explained in detail.
"Oh, so that's what it is, borrowing the name of a foreign company and doing it by local people."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Mr. Xu, I have to go to a meeting, so I'm leaving first." After saying a few words to Xu Wen, Sun Xinghe also picked up his bag and left in a hurry.
"Local?" Xu Wen walked out of the project department alone and suddenly remembered the gatekeeper at the Huangwang Highway landslide construction site. No wonder it was someone from the Wang family who was guarding the gate? Could that construction site also be related to the Wang family?
Xu Wen opened his car door and was about to go to the construction site on Huangwang Highway again. Suddenly, a Cherokee stopped beside his car with a squeak, and Zhai Dong's fat face and big belly jumped out of the car.
Come down.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was Zhai Dong who was here, Xu Wen thought it would be a good time to ask him. Since he signed the contract for that construction site, he must know who the owner of the construction site was.
"Boss Zhai is here."
"Oh, Boss Xu, don't call me that, just call me Dongzi."
"Haha, no matter what you call it, it doesn't matter. If you have money, let's make money together."
"Yes, yes, if you have money, let's make money together."
"Boss Zhai has been getting more and more popular lately." Xu Wen said perfunctorily, trying to find an opportunity to get involved at Huangwang's construction site.
"That doesn't mean you can take care of me, boss."
"No, you are very powerful yourself. You even got the contract for the No. 1 Highway in Jiangbei Province. Your relationship is extraordinary."
"Oh, don't mention it, Boss Xu." Zhai Dong sighed and said:
"I was very unlucky when I signed that contract. The management on the construction site was too chaotic, the excavators couldn't keep up, and the trucks were not loaded in the order. There were often conflicts between the cars entering the site and the cars leaving. My car was still working at that construction site.
If it’s less than half the work on this construction site, do you think we can avoid losing money?”
"That shouldn't be the case. Jiangbei Province No. 1 Highway is a big, well-known company."
"What, Boss Xu, you don't know something. That construction site was contracted by a few local people and they borrowed the qualifications of the No. 1 Highway in Jiangbei Province."
"What's the name of the boss of that construction site?"
"My name is Wang You, a local small contractor. He used to do some second- and third-rate jobs. I don't know what method he used this time. He borrowed the brand name of Jiangbei Province's No. 1 Highway to contract such a big project.
.When I asked someone to find him, I thought I was getting a big deal this time. Who knew he would end up like this."
Hearing Wang You's name, Xu Wen searched in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't match the number with anyone he had met before, so he asked again:
"Where is this Wang You from? What connections did he rely on to win the project?"
"I don't know where the person is from. Anyway, it's local, not far away. I don't know what the relationship is, but the project should be in charge of the Municipal Forestry Bureau. If you can get the project, you must be someone who knows the Forestry Bureau."
Seeing that he couldn't get any other information from Zhai Dong, Xu Wen decided to go back to his hometown and ask his third uncle Xu Zhijun, who should be the person most familiar with the Wang family.
Ever since Xu Wen came up with the idea last time and asked everyone in the Xu family to choose "Plan B" and sign the demolition contract, Xu Zhijun rarely called Xu Wen. Xu Wen thought that the problem at hand might be temporarily solved, so he didn't call again.
He asked about this matter and never returned to his hometown. Today Xu Wen bought some cigarettes and wine to take with him, and drove to the small courtyard of his third uncle Xu Zhijun.
"Third uncle, I'm here." Xu Wen shouted as he entered the door.
"Oh, it's Xiao Wen here. Dad, come out quickly, don't be sulky." When the third aunt saw that it was Xu Wen entering the courtyard, she quickly shouted happily.
No one in the room agreed, and no one came out. Xu Wen felt something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he asked his aunt:
"Third Aunt, what's wrong with Third Uncle?"
"He's sulking. Go in and persuade him." The third aunt whispered in Xu Wen's ear.
Xu Wen entered the house carrying cigarettes and wine, and saw his third uncle sitting at the Eight Immortals table smoking a cigarette. The ashtray on the table was filled with cigarette butts, and the room was filled with the choking smell of tobacco.
"Third uncle, I bought you some wine and I'll drink some with you later." Xu Wen knew that his third uncle loved drinking, so he deliberately put the wine on the table first.
"Xiao Wen is here, what kind of wine do you want to buy? You spend money indiscriminately. I have plenty of wine." Third uncle Xu Zhijun put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and shouted toward the door:
"Mom, cook some good dishes, call me "Lao Er", and we'll have some drinks with Xiao Wen."
Half an hour later, Xu Wen, his third uncle Xu Zhijun and his second uncle Xu Zhiguo sat at the Eight Immortals table. Four side dishes were brought up, Xu Wen opened the wine he had brought, and the uncle and nephew picked up the wine glasses.
