Chapter 24 Entering the wrong temple gate and worshipping the wrong Buddha
The next morning, around eight o'clock
Jinling Tourism Industry Development Company
A white Santana sedan drove into the unit compound. The vehicle had just stopped. Manager Yao Tiecheng opened the car door and got out. He straightened his light-colored striped shirt and entered the office building with dignity.
Behind him, the manager's secretary Zheng Wei was holding a glass thermos cup in his hand and a thick briefcase under his arm. He was following closely behind the manager Yao Tiecheng, following suit.
When we arrived at the spacious general manager's office, the desk made of high-end mahogany was polished to a shiny shine, and there was a bonsai with a simple old root of a pine tree, which brought a lot of vitality.
"Okay, a new day has begun again."
General Manager Yao Tiecheng was in his 40s and in the prime of life. He sat on the boss's chair and took a sip of the golden tea soup brewed from Wuyi Mountain's premium Jin Junmei. It was extremely sweet, mellow and fragrant.
The most rare thing is that secretary Zheng Wei held the cup of tea in his hand without closing the lid. Therefore, the tea soup did not appear wilted and the tea soup was maintained at a suitable temperature, which was the optimal heat.
"Xiao Zheng, your tea-making skills have improved again. That's great. Young people learn things quickly."
"Thank you, boss, for your encouragement. Only by staying by your side can I make new progress."
"Well, if you stop moving forward, you will soon be abandoned by the trend of the times. There is no harm in learning more while you are young. What are your plans for this morning?"
Zheng Wei, the manager's secretary, reported respectfully; "At nine o'clock, you will have a meeting at the city hall. A report on our city's reception of foreign guests and on guiding compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to support their motherland, invest in their hometown, and make new achievements. At 10:30, Senior Colonel
Flights from Europe arrive at the airport, and MPs from the EU, France, Germany and Italy and their entourage arrive randomly. Relevant provincial and municipal leaders will have a brief welcome ceremony at the airport, and then arrange to have dinner at Jinling Hotel and Xuanwu Hotel."
Yao Tiecheng rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why do a group of people arrange to dine in two hotels? Who made the plan? Can't they all be arranged at the Jinling Hotel?"
"The Jinling Hotel has already been fully booked. Through our work, the hotel said that it can barely accommodate the three-nation congressmen. The entourage can only be arranged at the Xuanwu Hotel. After all, it is not good to kick anyone out." Secretary Zheng Wei could only explain.
Yao Tiecheng couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, there is only one pot at home, but two groups of people come to eat. It's difficult for me here."
"Just now, the general manager's office reported that a guest from Pacific Company came early in the morning. It is said that the railway bureau had contacted him before..."
Listening to secretary Zheng Wei's report, Yao Tiecheng remembered that such a thing really happened, "Then let them come in."
"Understood."
a moment later
Wang Yaocheng, Luo Qianjin and Zheng Yuan pushed the door in and suddenly felt their eyes light up.
This is a luxurious office with an inner and outer closet. The outside reception area alone is more than 40 square meters. A lot of imported red wine is stored on the partition cabinet made of high-end mahogany. The floor is covered with soft carpets and imported Mitsubishi air conditioners.
A strong cold wind was blowing.
As expected, it is worthy of being called a foreign-related window unit. You will never see this arrogant government agency.
"Mr. Yao, I am Xiao Wang from Pacific Company. Thank you for taking the time to meet me during your busy schedule."
"Oh! Sit down."
Yao Tiecheng sat on the sofa without getting up. Wang Yaocheng reached out his hands enthusiastically. He gently took one of his hands and took a piece of paper into his hand.
After taking a glance at it, Yao Tiecheng asked with a half-smile, "A few days ago, Old Liu from the Railway Bureau called me. He didn't tell me anything specific. Is it him who introduced you?"
"Exactly, Wang Yaocheng of Pacific Company is troubling Mr. Yao."
Wang Yaocheng stood up and handed over his business card. Yao Tiecheng took it and looked at it briefly;
This is the standard equipment of the leather bag company, and he is also a general manager, on the same level as me!
"I'm very busy here, do you have anything specific to do?" Yao Tiecheng was no longer in a good mood.
"Oh, our Pacific Company mainly does some service work. I heard that the Gulandu Hotel built by the Municipal Tourism Company is currently..."
"Why, you are interested in this Sino-foreign joint venture project, haha, you have a big appetite."
Wang Yaocheng was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Yao Tiecheng's face darkened; "Such a large-scale high-rise hotel building requires very high technical capabilities. Domestic construction companies currently do not have the ability to participate in such a high-standard project. It is completely
Fuso JSD Co., Ltd. is the general contractor. Even the provincial construction company does not have the construction capabilities, haha, let alone you."
He was in a bad mood;
What the hell is Old Liu from the Railway Bureau doing? I'll help you with some things without saying a word. You still have to give me face. When it comes to the Gulandu Hotel project, even if it's a subcontracting project, Old Liu's face will be the same.
It's far from enough.
Seeing the displeased expression on the other side's face, Wang Yaocheng's heart sank suddenly, knowing that this trip was a bad one.
I have never operated such a large project in my past life. I always thought that if I could find a good relationship, the operation would be easier and a lot of unnecessary trouble would be saved.
never thought
Before I could explain my purpose clearly, I was met with a cold face by the other party, which made the whole life full of twists and turns.
Still careless.
These bureaucrats who sit in offices take the little power they have in their hands very seriously. It is difficult to get things done, and it is even harder to ask people to do things. It seems that this channel is unavailable.
Wang Yaocheng's thoughts were racing, he quickly went over the pros and cons, and made a plan in his mind;
Fortunately, he was interrupted before he finished speaking, so there was still room for redemption.
"I'm sorry, maybe my words have misunderstood Mr. Yao. Our Pacific Company is not a construction company, but a service company. This visit is mainly for a visit."
"Oh!" Yao Tiecheng's expression softened a little, and he was a little sensitive in this regard.
"We hope that after the completion of the Gulandu Hotel project, we can have some cooperation with the hotel in terms of individual and group travel services and other services. This is just a preliminary intention and needs to be followed up later." Wang Yaocheng finally found a reason.
.
"It's too early to say this now. I can only say that there are opportunities for cooperation." Yao Tiecheng held his tea cup and stood up to see off the guests with a cold face.
"We are overjoyed to have the opportunity to cooperate. Thank you Mr. Yao for taking time out of his busy schedule to receive you, so we won't bother you."
"Okay, Xiao Zheng, let's see the guests off."
Yao Tiecheng gave the order in a calm tone and watched Wang Yaocheng and his party leave without moving a single step.
What kind of bullshit are these?
This side
After walking out of the tall office building of the municipal tourism company, Wang Yaocheng looked back. The huge five-story office building was bathed in the early morning sunshine, like an old and stable antique, old and rigid.
Humph, if you ignore me now, you will be unable to reach your level in the future.
The frustration in reality did not affect Wang Yaocheng. He took General Heng Ha directly to the project site on Yangcheng Road and entered a breakfast shop next to the road, preparing to observe carefully and make a decision before taking action.
Reality gave Wang Yaocheng a resounding slap in the face. Even if he was reborn, if he wanted to replicate his success, various factors were intricate and indispensable.
Wang Yaocheng sat at the table, taking spoonfuls of white porridge into his mouth, recalling the current situation carefully to see if there were any mistakes or omissions.
In terms of funds, this time I brought a total of 16,000 yuan, rented two offices on the second floor of No. 199 Central Road, and paid 6,000 yuan for two months' rent. The company registration cost 5,000 yuan.
I was cruel and bought myself another Motorola digital pager, which cost me another 2,200 yuan.
I spent more than a thousand yuan on other purchases of office desks, chairs, office supplies, suits, etc. I rented a van and traveled to various towns and villages on the outskirts of the city for three days. This was another thousand yuan, with all kinds of expenses in my hands.
There is less than a thousand dollars left.
To be precise, it was more than 700 yuan. We were facing a situation where everything was exhausted.
As long as we can receive the earthwork project of Gulandu Hotel, this big job, all the financial problems will be solved easily.
I had thought wrong from the beginning and should not have contacted the travel company at all. Fuso JSD Co., Ltd. was the general contractor for the hotel construction project. They must have been anxious about the earthwork of the project.
I entered the wrong temple and worshiped the wrong Buddha.
No, the lesson is profound.
In his previous life, Liu Mingchuan, who had a keen sense of smell, boasted that he directly approached Japanese engineering personnel and recommended himself, and successfully won the entire project.
This is a turnkey project between the two sister cities of Jinling City and Fuso Nagoya City. It is supported by a loan of 25 million US dollars from Japan and is the general contractor. After the construction is completed, hotel management personnel will be dispatched to teach relevant foreign high-star hotel service concepts and cultivate
Establish a complete Chinese management team.
In 2003, the Japanese side felt that the Chinese side could manage the hotel on its own, so they withdrew all their shares with US$1 million in cash, and the recipient assumed the half-buy, half-free price of the US$5 million loan.
At present, we have 60 dump trucks in our hands, which are exactly what the construction side urgently needs. The basis for cooperation between the two parties already exists.
The good cards are in your own hands, now you just need an opportunity, meet the right person at the right time, and everything will be fine.
I had breakfast and lunch at a breakfast shop. After waiting for more than five hours, I still still had rice porridge and steamed buns.
A group of three people sat here until two o'clock in the afternoon
Finally, I saw a group of four Nissan Duke cars driving into the construction site. Then, more than ten people got out of the cars, picked up orange safety helmets and put them on their heads. Their faces were quite ugly.
The person in charge of the construction site led a group of subordinates to greet him from a distance. He raised his buttocks and bowed at an exaggerated 90 degrees, full of Japanese style.
The big shots from JSD Co., Ltd. in the car were so angry that they almost touched each other's foreheads with their fingers and reprimanded loudly. The person in charge of the construction site and his men kept bowing at 90 degrees, like kowtowing insects.
