After listening to Zhou Wencheng's report, Zhao Manfu pondered for a while and then replied: "If we have to send Tang Ying to the headquarters, there is no problem in letting Tang Ying send the invoices from the three companies to the Huatie headquarters."
Zhou Wencheng replied: "This time we must arrange for Tang Ying to bring our company's own invoices to the company headquarters."
Zhao Manfu replied: "Okay.
But now in order to send an invoice, our three companies have to arrange special personnel to send the invoice to Kyoto. The round-trip air tickets for the three companies alone are more than 10,000 yuan.
The cost of this trip is too high. In the future, we still need to strengthen communication with the owner and general contractor on projects to avoid incidents like rushing to send invoices."
Zhou Wencheng agreed: "Yes, the cost of continuing like this is indeed too high, but there is really no solution to this situation.
We will strengthen communication with general contractors and owners in the future."
Zhao Manfu said: "That's all for today's communication on invoices. You all go and do your own business. Mr. Zhou remembers to keep me informed of the progress of invoices and collections."
After Zhou Wencheng and Zhang Yunqing listened to Zhao Manfu's arrangements, they said a brief goodbye to Zhao Manfu and left Zhao Manfu's office.
After Zhang Yunqing returned to the business office, Yu Danzhen came to see Zhang Yunqing and completed some visa approval work that needed to be signed before but was not completed due to unlucky timing.
After signing, Yu Danzhen took out a tender contact unit approval form for the stainless steel railing, a tender price approval form, and a tender document approval form and asked Zhang Yunqing to sign.
Zhang Yunqing asked: "Why did you bring this document to me to sign? Isn't this a matter for Wang Minglai, who purchased the material?"
Yu Danzhen replied: "Wang Ming came to our office several times today, but he didn't see you. So, he contacted me and asked me to find you to sign."
Zhang Yunqing asked again: "Don't you still need to sign these documents? Why didn't you sign?"
Yu Danzhen replied: "Because you have emphasized before that this set of bidding documents must be prepared in advance. He came very suddenly and looked like a surprise attack, so I didn't dare to sign it. I wanted to come and ask for your instructions."
Zhang Yunqing asked again: "Then did he say that this document is urgent?"
Yu Danzhen replied: "He said he was very anxious. The owner just handed over the site to us and wanted us to start implementation immediately."
Zhang Yunqing asked: "Do you know whether his price is reasonable?"
Yu Danzhen replied: "I basically have no contact with the stainless steel railings, so I can't tell."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Okay, I understand. You put the information here and I will think about it and then reply to you."
Yu Danzhen replied: "Okay." and returned to her workstation.
Zhang Yunqing picked up the Nanshan Project Stainless Steel Railing Bidding Contact Unit Approval Form, Bidding Price Approval Form, Bidding Document Approval Form and other documents and supporting documents left by Yu Danzhen and looked through them carefully.
After Zhang Yunqing read the documents, he brought the documents to Zhao Manfu's office.
Zhang Yunqing handed the Nanshan Project Stainless Steel Railing Bidding Contact Unit Approval Form, Bidding Price Approval Form, Bidding Document Approval Form and other documents and supporting documents to Zhao Manfu.
Zhao Manfu looked at the thick stack of documents and asked Zhang Yunqing: "What's wrong? What's going on with so many documents? Tell me."
Zhang Yunqinghui reported: "Mr. Zhao, as you know, the company has repeatedly required that all projects with construction costs greater than 100,000 yuan must be tendered, and the bidding overview must be reported to the company in advance.
I also repeatedly publicized and implemented this requirement within the scope of the project department.
However, the bidding for this stainless steel railing has now reached 800,000 yuan, and the bidding filing process has not been carried out in accordance with the company's requirements.
This is an illegal behavior, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Zhao Manfu replied: "In the process of rushing for work by the project department, these omissions in work are inevitable. There is no need to take it so seriously."
Zhang Yunqing replied disapprovingly: "I don't think it was an oversight on his part, but he did it on purpose."
Zhao Manfu asked: "How do you know it was done intentionally?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "The main reasons are:
First, during this period, Yu Danzhen has been asking Miaomu and the two people responsible for the materials if they have any projects that require bidding, and both of them answered that there is no need to bid.
Second, it would take at least a few days for Wang Ming of material procurement to prepare these documents. If he did not deliberately avoid others from arranging a team to bid, he could have told the Ministry of Commerce openly when he knew that there was a project that required bidding.
.In this case, our Ministry of Commerce can find a manufacturer to participate in the bidding.
Only in this way can we truly prevent Wang Ming from operating alone and avoid violations of standards."
Zhao Manfu thought for a while and then replied: "You made a good analysis.
But have you considered other issues?"
Zhang Yunqing asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhao, please tell me directly, I don't know what this other problem is."
Zhao Manfu replied: "Other questions refer generally. For example, our payment status.
At present, our company's payment has not been made in accordance with the contract at all. The contract clearly states 70%.
What's the result?
You have already gone through the capital plan during this period. Have you ever thought about it? In fact, the amount we paid to the next buyer in the capital plan is not even half of the 70%.
What has this become?
Isn’t it equivalent to asking the next company to carry out advance construction?”
Zhang Yunqing replied: "According to what you said, it smells like advance funding for construction. But it is not clear how long the advance payment will be."
Zhao Manfu replied: "Of course it is not clear, because we have just joined the company and have no idea what kind of tricks the company is playing. To put it bluntly, we can only take it one step at a time."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "It is true that we have not yet understood the company's routines."
Zhao Manfu replied: "We definitely won't call our friends to participate in the bidding until we have everything sorted out, right?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Yes. What's more, we don't have any friends here who can do this stainless steel railing job."
Zhao Manfu replied: "So, if you randomly find a team to participate in the bidding in the market, it's okay if you don't win. What if this unit wins the bid, and during the process of rushing for work, the other party makes claims for various reasons?
How can we deal with it?”
Zhang Yunqing said: "How to deal with it, of course it's just a matter of time and again."
Zhao Manfu continued his analysis: "What a good one.
Not much else to say.
I'll just tell you the simplest one, and you can tell me how to deal with it.
After winning the bid, knowing that we were rushing to get the job done and the materials had arrived, we insisted on saying that the winning bid price was too low and we would not start construction unless we adjusted the price."
