Ma Qinggui also completely relaxed. Once he made a decision on some things, he knew that some things were already a foregone conclusion and would be lost. Ma Qinggui just accepted it and paid for what he did. He was destined to lose the company's largest customer and backer.
The advantage is that you may avoid jail time.
If Zhou Zichen really reveals those things, Ma Qinggui will definitely not get any good results.
Ma Qinggui actually doesn't have many connections with the government. The main reason is because he started out in the underworld, and some people don't want to have an affair with him. Even if he goes to give gifts, they won't accept them for fear of being investigated.
"Mr. Zhou, you are very powerful. I only ask for a promise from you." Ma Qinggui had already used the honorific "you" to show his respect.
Zhou Zichen is actually a very talkative person. As long as you don't touch my things, everything is easy to discuss. If you dare to touch my things, you will have to pay the price: "Mr. Ma, let me tell you, but I may not agree.
"
"I'll tell you what happened, and you promise not to sue me or my company." Ma Qinggui said, although this was the deal between them, he told Zhou Zichen who was behind the scenes. Zhou Zichen let Ma Qinggui go, but Zhou Zichen didn't.
Ma Qinggui was still uneasy about the promise.
Zhou Zichen nodded: "It's easy to say. What you did has caused reputational impact and economic losses to our company. You have to compensate. If you compensate, I will naturally not sue you. Of course, the premise is that you have no other reasons.
I'd be sorry if I found out about something."
Huo Dalong never thought that the other party could compensate for his losses, and he was also very satisfied with the previous results.
Ma Qinggui swallowed his saliva. In fact, the economic losses caused by Zhou Zichen and the others were not large, only a few hundred thousand, and the reputational damage was not easy to estimate at all: "Mr. Zhou, look, how is this compensation calculated? What if?
It’s too much and I can’t afford it.”
Zhou Zichen looked at Huo Dalong: "Dalong, you are in charge of the construction company. How much compensation do you think is appropriate?"
Huo Dalong was stunned. Although he was managing the company these days, he was mostly running on the construction site, just like a small contractor.
Normally when negotiating prices for contracted projects, I would negotiate prices with some villagers in the countryside, and he was good at it, so he could naturally speak clearly and eloquently. Now that he was asked to name a compensation amount, it was really hard for him.
Huo Dalong hesitated and didn't know what the price should be: "Zichen, why don't you tell me, I don't know how much compensation I should have."
"From now on, you will be in charge of the construction company. Today you asked for one yuan in compensation, so I asked Mr. Ma for one yuan. You said you wanted 100 million, but Mr. Ma didn't give it, so I turned around and left immediately." Zhou Zichen said directly: "
You have to learn these things. If the construction company wants to be big in the future, you can't manage the company with the idea of a small contractor."
Zhou Zichen believed that Huo Dalong was capable, but lacked experience. Zhou Zichen didn't care how much money Ma Qinggui paid him, but gave Huo Dalong a chance to practice.
Ma Qinggui felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Zhou Zichen didn't take him seriously at all and gave himself to Huo Dalong to practice, but Ma Qinggui didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.
Ma Qinggui also looked at Huo Dalong and said: "Mr. Huo, we are indeed at fault in this matter. If you do the math, our business is small and we really can't afford to pay for it."
Huo Dalong was originally kind-hearted, and when he heard Ma Qinggui admit his mistake, he felt a little sympathy for Ma Qinggui. This was not what Ma Qinggui wanted to do, but someone else ordered him to do it.
Zhou Zichen did not stop Ma Qinggui from speaking. If someone else made Huo Dalong make a wrong judgment with just one or two soft words, then he would be too disappointed in Huo Dalong.
Huo Dalong looked at Zhou Zichen several times, and Zhou Zichen always encouraged him to make his decision with a smile on his face.
After waiting for more than two minutes, Huo Dalong said: "Zichen, our material loss is about 480,000 yuan. To prevent me from miscalculating, I will count it as 500,000 yuan; and we have lost about 100,000 yuan in labor.
Then other miscellaneous losses are calculated at about 10,000. In terms of credit expenses, this is not easy to calculate. In this case,
It has been spread outside. There will definitely be people who are unwilling to contract houses to us because of these things. The decoration of a house depends on factors such as the materials and area of the decoration. Our company can probably earn about 50,000 yuan per house.
If I count ten sets, that’s 500,000, so Mr. Ma has to compensate us 1,110,000."
This number is already a big number for Huo Dalong. When he said this number, he was still very nervous and didn't know if he had said it wrong.
When Ma Qinggui heard this figure, he felt happy. Even Chenlong Construction could afford to pay this 1.11 million. For him, it was not a big problem.
Zhou Zichen did not make any evaluation, but said to Ma Qinggui: "Mr. Ma, the total is two million, no matter the price."
Huo Dalong was surprised when Zhou Zichen said this. Ma Qinggui was just slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Okay, I will transfer the money later. Will this money be transferred to a personal account or a company account?"
"
"Go to the company account and let the two companies handle the financial affairs later." Zhou Zichen said casually, then turned to Huo Dalong and said: "I don't know much about the things you calculated. I don't know the prices of building materials."
I don’t know, but when you make a bid, you have to leave yourself some room for bargaining. Mr. Ma doesn’t dare to pay back today’s matter. If Mr. Ma tries hard with you, you may lose your last reputation.
Lower or even don’t.”
"There's another thing. You have to guess what the other party's bottom price is. To speculate on the bottom price, we can't just look at our losses, but also the interests of the other party. This time, Mr. Ma's bottom price should be around 10 million, because if
If we sue him, he will go to jail, and the sentence will not be too long, only one to three years. In addition, Mr. Ma may be related, the sentence should be about one year, and there is a possibility of a reduced sentence, but for Mr. Ma
For example, ten million to avoid a jail sentence is not much."
The two people present were dumbfounded. Huo Dalong didn't expect that there would be so much care in setting a random price. Ma Qinggui was surprised that Zhou Zichen's calculation was so accurate. His bottom price was really not far away from 10 million.
Far.
Huo Dalong nodded humbly: "I will definitely study hard in the future."
Ma Qinggui also quickly flattered Zhou Zichen, fearing that Zhou Zichen would change his mind: "Mr. Zhou is amazing, he has calculated every point."
Zhou Zichen nodded slightly to Huo Dalong in approval, and then said to Ma Qinggui: "Mr. Ma, can you tell us who the person behind you is?"
Ma Qinggui said: "It's Dingtuo Construction, but I heard that Dingtuo didn't mean this. They were also used as gunmen. I don't know what happened."
Dingtuo Construction is the largest construction company in Jiangdong City, ranking first even within the province, and many projects have been completed outside the province.
Zhou Zichen didn't doubt the answer at all, because Ma Qinggui didn't dare to fool him: "Okay, I understand, then we won't bother you."
But Ma Qinggui hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, stay here. There are some things I want to talk to Mr. Zhou. I don't know if Mr. Zhou has time."
Zhou Zichen didn't know what Ma Qinggui wanted to say: "Mr. Ma, what's the matter?"
"You sit down first! We'll talk later."
Zhou Zichen was not polite and sat down with Huo Dalong.
Ma Qinggui added tea to Zhou Zichen and Huo Dalong: "Mr. Zhou, to tell you the truth, at least 80% of all our company's business is second-hand orders from Dingtuo. In this matter, I am definitely Dingtuo."
I was offended a lot over there, so I was wondering if our two families could reach a cooperative relationship."
Zhou Zichen immediately understood what Ma Qinggui meant. He was looking for allies and insurance for himself.
If the two companies reach a cooperation and the cooperation goes deep enough, even if Dingtuo Construction wants to retaliate against Ma Qinggui in the future, Ma Qinggui will be able to change hands and bring down Chenlong Construction.
Although the strength of Chenlong Construction is not strong now, and Ma Qinggui will never look at such a small company as an ally, Zhou Zichen's strength makes him a little frightened.
Ma Qinggui didn't know how Zhou Zichen found him and obtained the evidence. At least most people simply didn't have the ability to obtain this evidence so quickly.
Two days ago, Ma Qinggui was afraid that Chenlong Construction would notice him, and he even asked the people he placed in Chenlong Construction to pay attention to, but they were just like headless flies, so he continued to arrange people for Chenlong Construction.
Long Construction is looking for trouble.
Zhou Zichen did not reply immediately after hearing Ma Qinggui's words, but was weighing the pros and cons. There is one thing to pay attention to in doing business. Either do it to the best or show some mercy. You cannot do all the business in this line by yourself. You must know this.
There is another law in the world called the Anti-Monopoly Law.
"How does Mr. Ma plan to cooperate?"
When Ma Qinggui heard Zhou Zichen's words, he immediately knew something was up: "Mr. Zhou, although our family is a small business, we have been operating for so many years and we have a certain foundation."
Zhou Zichen looked at Ma Qinggui and said, "These things are too imaginary. Let's talk more realistically."
Zhou Zichen knew very well that no matter how good his resources were, it would be useless if he did not give Chenlong Construction. If the two parties cooperated, Chenlong Construction would still risk going against Dingtuo Construction.
Although Zhou Zichen didn't care too much about Dingtuo Architecture, he didn't want to serve as a shield for Ma Qinggui in vain.
Ma Qinggui laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou, Chenlong Construction has just started and there are no problems with decoration. Although Mr. Huo said that he has been working hard in the construction industry for many years, he has no connections. It is difficult to do big projects.
Yes, I can’t directly bring orders to Chenlong Construction, but I can give Chenlong Construction a broader and better network of contacts.”
Zhou Zichen knew very well that Huo Dalong was a low-level construction worker no matter what. His strengths lay in managing projects and supervising quality, and definitely not in expanding business. If no one helped him, he would definitely surround the cities with rural areas.
The road to the big project piled up has gone dark.
If Ma Qinggui can lead Huo Dalong, it will definitely be beneficial to the development of Chenlong Construction.
But Zhou Zichen still shook his head: "These are still empty, and they don't have much practical effect or benefit."
Ma Qinggui smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhou, can we cooperate by directly providing engineering orders to Chenlong? You also know that our current orders are not enough for ourselves, and there are simply no more orders to be transferred to Chenlong!"
