Zhao Manfu said "hmm" and motioned to project manager Zhou Wencheng to continue explaining.
Zhou Wencheng continued to explain: "In this way, green planting in the entire large area will be completely impossible. This will affect the construction schedule of our garden in that area. If the earthwork is not moved in, the trees will not be planted.
We dare not construct the roadbed for our garden construction. If the roadbed for the garden construction is constructed first, and then heavy trucks for transporting soil and large trees come to crush it, wouldn’t it be crushed?
So today I arranged for Lin Jun to ask Mr. Zhang from the business department to help communicate and coordinate.
By the way, Mr. Zhang is more clear about the following plot, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to explain it to you, okay? Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Manfu nodded and said: "Since Yun Qing knows it well, let Yun Qing explain it."
Zhang Yunqing cleared his throat and continued: "Well, let me talk about it.
This afternoon, survey engineer Lin Jun invited me to go to the east gate of the site to meet with the planting soil supplier, Boss Yang.
We listened to Boss Yang’s explanation of the main reasons why planting soil cannot be brought into the field as follows:
1. The price of planting soil has increased sharply recently, and their cost is now greater than the contract price we gave him, causing him to lose money now.
2. During the transportation of their planting soil, they were hindered by local villagers and could not get on the road.
3. It rains often during this period.”
Zhao Manfu said: "His reasons seem a bit far-fetched. How did you respond to him?"
Zhang Yunqing said: "For the sake of safety, I only told him my understanding of his contract and the measures the company might take, and asked him to consider it carefully."
Zhao Manfu gestured with interest to Zhang Yunqing to continue explaining in more detail.
Zhang Yunqing said: "I explained to him that the unit price of the contract he signed with our company is a fixed unit price contract. The contract is clearly stipulated and the unit price of the contract will not be adjusted for any reason.
This is the first important point.
The other is that if the unit price of the contract must be adjusted, our company will in principle introduce new teams to form a new contract unit price, and the contract of the original team will have to be terminated.
I also told him that the introduction of the earthwork team was under the personal control of Boss Bai’s brother. Even if our project department agreed to his request for a price increase, when it comes to the approval process from Boss Bai’s brother, the most likely outcome would be to terminate the cooperative relationship with him.
.
At the same time, because we have a tight construction deadline, I asked him if he wanted us to report to the company first the situation that may require a team change."
Zhao Manfu asked: "Oh, what was Boss Yang's reaction?"
Zhang Yunqing said: "Boss Yang, on the surface, seemed quite anxious. When he mentioned that he had to change teams, I observed carefully that his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
At the same time, he also asked us not to rush to report to the company.
He will try to work with another earthmoving team to find a way to see if they can overcome the difficulties and restore the planting soil as soon as possible."
"Then how did you answer him?"
"I gave him reassurance and told him that if he wanted to report this situation, we would need to get his written and stamped application for withdrawal or price adjustment before reporting to the company."
"Based on your judgment, how sure are you that he will withdraw?"
"There is at most a 10% chance of choosing to exit."
"If he doesn't leave the game and doesn't continue to play, what will we do?"
"This is impossible. I have told him clearly today that if he wants to put in planting soil, he must restore the soil supply and backfill at around 10 o'clock tonight. Otherwise, we may interpret it as
If he can't handle backfilling the planting soil, he may take other feasible and decisive measures."
"He agreed?"
"Judging from the way he communicated, he should have understood that it is impossible to adjust the price. It is not that he has no profit at the current price. He just wants to take advantage of us to grab work time and force us to increase the price for him. So the biggest possibility is
He will be forced to resume supplying planting soil this evening."
Zhao Manfu said: "Okay, I understand."
Then he said to Tiao Wencheng: "Have you arranged the place? Let's go out to eat and wait for Boss Yang's reply. If he is like Zhang Yunqing said, he will resume the supply of planting soil tonight, forget it, I will treat it as nothing.
If he does not resume the supply of planting soil and continues to seriously affect the progress of our construction site, then you are welcome to directly request support from the company, terminate his team's contract, handle the settlement for him immediately, and ask him to leave."
Zhou Wencheng's face showed a black line for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.
Then Zhao Manfu said: "Okay, good results, bad results all depend on the performance of Boss Yang tonight."
Then he continued to ask for Zhao Manfu's opinion: "We are going to have a meal. By the way, if we are waiting for news, there is a seaside barbecue restaurant near our office. They have grilled seafood, mutton, pork belly, etc. You can see us go there
How about drinking, chatting and waiting there?"
Zhao Manfu replied with satisfaction: "No problem, whichever one of you is familiar with will lead the way."
Zhou Wencheng laughed and said: "This is definitely the one I am most familiar with. I will lead the way. Let's go."
A group of four people walked to the seaside barbecue restaurant introduced by Zhou Wencheng in about 20 minutes.
Zhou Wencheng handed the menu to Zhao Manfu and said: "Mr. Zhao, please order."
Zhao Manfu replied generously: "Twenty skewers of pork belly, twenty skewers of crispy bones, ten skewers of pork ribs, one part of leeks, one part of eggplant. You can take care of the rest."
Zhou Wencheng said: "Yes, I'll take the next order. Eight oysters, one saury, one squid, four small croakers, one spicy stir-fried croaker, one each peanut and edamame. One chilled beer. Plus four bowls of clear water."
Replenish coolness.”
The waiter took the menu that the two of them had ordered and read it over again. After confirming that it was correct, he left and was ready to go.
Soon, bowls, chopsticks, tea, beer, peanuts and edamame were brought over and set out.
Zhou Wencheng asked the waiter for a pot of boiling water and a small basin, and took the initiative to help wash everyone's dishes.
Zhao Manfu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, it's okay. You are a person who contributes both money and effort. Your service is quite considerate."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Isn't it standard behavior to treat leaders to dinner and provide attentive service?"
Zhao Manfu laughed and said: "There is no leader at the dinner table."
Zhou Wencheng was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Even if you are not a leader, it is still your duty to serve Big Brother."
Zhao Manfu said with satisfaction: "This sounds comfortable. When I say respect for the leader, it is because I am afraid of the power in his hands. If it is service to my brothers, it shows more sincere feelings. I didn't expect that you are a big boss."
