After a while, my secretary came in with a middle-aged man. This man looked very ordinary and had no characteristics. After he came in, he said to me: "Mayor Feng, I, Wang Qizheng, Secretary Chen just gave you
I called."
I immediately asked him to sit down. After the secretary made him a cup of tea, I asked him to leave. Then I went to sit across from the man named Wang Qizheng and said to him with a smile: "Secretary Chen did give me a phone call just now.
...Tell me, what’s the matter?”
He took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out and handed it to me. I waved to him, "Sorry, I can't."
He smiled and said: "I heard that Mayor Feng used to be a doctor, and he really knows how to take care of things."
I felt that this person was looking for something to say, so I didn't answer his words, but just looked at him with a slight smile.
He became a little nervous, and then coughed. From a psychological point of view, his coughing was actually a cover-up to cover up his inner nervousness or embarrassment. He lit a cigarette for himself, and then said:
"Mayor Feng, that's it. I saw the bidding announcement issued by your industrial park. I am a legal person of a construction company and would like to participate in the bidding for your project."
Only then did I suddenly remember what Secretary Yang said to me that time, and I immediately sighed in my heart: Sure enough, I am here. But I was still smiling and looking at him, "Okay. Welcome. It is written on our tender notice
Understand the bidding conditions, as long as your company meets the conditions."
He coughed again, "The conditions must be met. But we still need Mayor Feng's care."
I smiled lightly and said: "The bidding documents are there, and the bidding procedures are also public. I want to take care of you. The question is how can I take care of you?"
He said to me with a flattering smile: "Mayor Feng, you are joking. As long as you really take care of us, there will be no problem for our company to win the bid. Mayor Feng must also know about the technical issues in the bidding. Of course.
, I, Wang Qizheng, am not the kind of person who doesn’t know how to repay gratitude, so please rest assured about this."
I laughed "hehe" and said: "This is a project invested and developed by the state. I dare not get any benefits from it. Mr. Wang, maybe you don't know me well. I am timid and don't want to make mistakes. What's more,
I don’t want to go to jail in the future. I still say the same thing, as long as your conditions are met, I welcome you to bid. However, your future bids will need to be scored by an expert group, and the bid with the highest score will win. The members of the expert group are from all over the province.
Randomly selected from the expert database. This is the program."
He seemed to be even more nervous, "Mayor Feng, what Secretary Chen means is... Haha! Mayor Feng, you know. In fact, the bidding process can still be considered manipulation, such as bid rigging.
The company with the highest score can also be disqualified from bidding during reconsideration.”
His words made me secretly surprised. I know the method of bid rigging. For the project our province was recruiting in the past, Guangsha Company won the bid through bid rigging. That is, one company affiliated with several companies to bid at the same time, regardless of the situation.
Whichever company wins the bid actually belongs to that company. He only needs to pay a small management fee to the affiliated company. It is said that the management fee is generally around 6%. If the relationship is good, it only costs 100%.
Two-thirds, or less.
But he just mentioned something about disqualifying those with higher scores during the reconsideration. I didn’t understand this. I immediately said: "Their scores have already come out, how can we disqualify them by then?"
He said: "This is actually a relatively common practice in the industry. When making the bidding documents, Party A deliberately sets some unattractive clauses in them. For example, in some details, the bidding company must provide some information.
Information that seems to be unimportant, or the bidding company must meet certain seemingly unimportant conditions, etc. If my company does not win the bid, I will file a complaint with you, Party A, and ask you to further review the score before we
Do the bidding documents of the companies in front of the company all meet the standards? Generally speaking, any company's bidding documents will have problems of one kind or another. Once it is found out that there are such problems in their bidding documents
problems, you have reason to declare that they are not qualified to bid. This is in compliance with the bidding procedures and regulations, and will not allow you to make mistakes."
I understood immediately, but I was really shocked because I didn't expect that there was such an insidious trick. I said: "In the final analysis, this is still a matter of our Party A's attitude. Haha! You said that method is reasonable and legal.
It complies with the procedures, but if the disciplinary inspection department wants to be serious, it is also a violation of discipline. Mr. Wang, your idea is not good. When the time comes, you will make money, but we will take such a big risk. This is not okay."
He hurriedly said: "How can you be at risk? I am the person introduced by Secretary Chen. He will not let your Discipline Inspection Commission investigate. Do the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission dare to investigate? If this does not work, then use bid rigging. When the time comes,
Except you, Party A, know which companies that came to participate in the bidding are affiliated with me, no one else knows. If others ask, you can just push them away. This way there is no risk."
What he said is true. In the final analysis, the method of affiliation is to completely follow the bidding procedures, but Party A needs to do one key thing, and that is: do not review the companies that signed up to participate in the bidding in the early stage.
It is so strict, and all the companies affiliated with it must be put into one project segment. Our project is very large, with a total investment of more than one billion, and it is impossible to bid as one segment. The project must be divided into
It is broken down into many parts, and in order to show the fairness of the bidding, Party A will also randomly select the companies that signed up to participate in the bidding and allocate them to a certain project segment.
Therefore, no matter which method it is, Party A must cheat in secret.
There must be risks when cheating. In fact, everyone knows the unspoken rules in many industries, but under normal circumstances, the relevant departments will not investigate and deal with them. But, what if? What if there is a contradiction during the project, or
What about quality and other problems? At that time, it is very likely that the problems existing in the previous bidding will be exposed. Things like this also happen all over the country.
This matter made me feel very embarrassed, and the embarrassing part was that he was introduced by Secretary Chen. I thought about it and said: "Secretary Chen just told me that he will try his best to take care of you under the same conditions. He did not let him
I'm going to make some unspoken rules. Let's do this. You prepare the bidding documents according to the conditions required in the bidding documents. As long as you meet the bidding conditions, I will try my best to take care of you.",
In fact, what I said was completely perfunctory, but in this situation, I can only deal with him like this.
Then I stood up, which was my signal to him to end our conversation today.
There was a smile on his face, "Thank you, Mayor Feng. I will report to you at another time."
I smiled at him, then sat back at my desk and started reading the documents, ignoring him again.
Then I heard him say to me: "Then, Mayor Feng, I won't disturb you anymore."
I raised my head and nodded to him, then lowered my head to look at my documents.
He left, but I suddenly felt a headache: What should I do about this matter?
And I have a hunch in my heart that this matter will never end like this. Now that Secretary Chen has spoken, he will definitely call again.
Sure enough, that night I received another call from Secretary Chen, "Mayor Feng, maybe you don't know much about Mr. Wang. Let me tell you, he has been my friend for many years. He is a good person."
He is trustworthy in everything he does. You will know if you have more contact with him."
He regarded my attitude towards that person today as a precaution. Or he was putting pressure on me again.
I sighed in my heart, and then said: "Secretary Chen, I can only tell him that. However, there are still great risks in operating this matter. I will think about it again and see if there is any better way."
He said: "The simplest way is to use the tender invitation method for your first project. You can make a report to the city government on the grounds that the project needs to be constructed immediately. This is also in line with the procedures."
I was immediately startled, "Secretary Chen, this is not possible. We are a new company and we are engaged in a real estate development project that everyone is paying attention to. It is easier for things to happen this way."
He laughed, "An enterprise is an enterprise. As an enterprise, it should adopt a very flexible approach in the way it operates the market. Mayor Feng, your ideas have always been advanced. Why are you so timid about this matter?"
"
I hurriedly said: "The question is, what if Mayor Liu disagrees?"
He said: "You are very good at persuading people, why can't you convince him?"
My headache became even worse, "Secretary Chen, please let me think about it again. Okay?"
He immediately hung up the phone.
This matter really made me feel very embarrassed. In fact, things like this exist everywhere else. There are many things where the main leader greets the people below to work on the project, and it is also a very normal thing.
Besides, as long as I don't get any benefit from it, there won't be much risk.
But the crux of the problem is not here. After Secretary Yang talked to me last time, I suddenly felt that it was only a matter of time before Secretary Chen had a problem. You know, Secretary Yang knew him better, and maybe he didn’t treat me that day at all.
Let’s talk about the more serious problems. So, now I am very worried. I am worried that once something happens to Secretary Chen, things in this bidding will be implicated. Even if I don’t make any profit from it,
But I must also bear the responsibility for illegal operations.
It would be uneconomical to be punished or even dismissed from office because of this. Why? Moreover, I know the risks of doing so, but I still do it stupidly. This is an extreme stupidity.
However, he is still the municipal party committee secretary after all, and no one can tell what will happen in the future. Besides, there is Governor Wang behind him, so under normal circumstances, nothing should happen.
But......
At this time, I was restless in the room and felt very agitated.
Suddenly, I thought of a person. By the way, why didn’t I ask her about this matter? Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that Secretary Yang was really powerful - in fact, he had already analyzed it at that time
, I will definitely tell Lin Yu about this matter at some point, but he just wants to get on my boat.
"Sister, I want to tell you something. I want to tell you face to face." The call was dialed, and I said to her immediately. (To be continued)
