Song Xiaoshan, project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, said with a smile: “Okay, let’s solve all the worries.
Let me call the two district leaders to invite them."
Zhou Wencheng stood up from the sofa and laughed and said: "It's like making a phone call for free.
We have already arrived at our Nanshan project department, why should we make a call to treat our guests?
Come on, Mr. Song, I will take you to invite them in person."
Zhou Wencheng first came to the business office with Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the Bowan Phase I landscape improvement project.
Song Xiaoshan greeted Zhang Yunqing: "Mr. Zhang, are you still working overtime?".
Zhang Yunqing looked up and saw that Song Xiaoshan was coming. He quickly pulled out two chairs and said politely: "Mr. Song, Mr. Zhou, please sit down, please sit down."
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project, said politely: "Mr. Zhang, I won't sit down.
I just came over and would like to invite you to have a supper with me later.
By the way, is it convenient for me to talk about the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project?"
Zhang Yunqing replied happily: "Okay, if someone is treating me, how can it be inconvenient?
By the way, who else did President Song invite?"
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, replied: "I invite you, Mr. Zhao, and then our Mr. Zhou.
Well, Mr. Zhao hasn’t invited me yet.
If it's convenient for you now, let's go and invite Mr. Zhao together."
Zhang Yunqing smiled and said: "Okay, okay.
Two bosses, please give me a moment.
I'll turn off the computer right away and leave."
Zhou Wencheng walked at the front, Song Xiaoshan walked in the middle, and Zhang Yunqing walked at the back. The three of them walked slowly towards Zhao Manfu's office.
The three of them arrived at the door of Zhao Manfu's office. The office door was closed, and then Zhou Wencheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Zhao Manfu's voice came from inside the office: "Please come in."
Zhou Wencheng opened the office door and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, look, who is here to see you?"
Zhao Manfu sat on the boss's chair and looked up.
He stood up calmly, happily extended his fat right hand to Song across the large desk, and said happily: "Song Xiaoshan, I didn't expect that.
How did you come?
welcome."
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project, took a few steps forward and extended his right hand to shake hands with Zhao Manfu as a courtesy, and then replied: "Why am I here?"
Mr. Zhao, your bowl of water is unbalanced.
You have solved the major issues of the Nanshan Project Department.
My Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project will be ignored.
Do you think my project is too small?
Mr. Zhao, no matter how small the project is, they can still cause trouble."
"Well," Zhao Manfu said with a smile, "Look what you said.
Aren't we discussing it?
Who is that person called today? It’s the seedling supplier. Yes, yes, I remember, it’s the seedling supplier Cao Shenggen.
Cao Shenggen even came to see me.
I also asked Cao Shenggen to look for you and Zhang Yunqing.
Is he looking for you?"
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, replied: "I found it. The seedling supplier is called Cao Shenggen. He called me twice and asked me what to do about the progress payment of his seedlings. I didn't dare
answer him.
Don't know how to do it.
Uh, then, I came over.
What I want to ask is Mr. Zhou Wencheng, the one here.
The two of us also discussed it just now.
Well, I still need to give you and Mr. Zhang a good report.
Well, let's do this. Mr. Zhao, you are too tired from working all the time. I'll invite everyone out for a late-night snack.
Then let’s talk about the payment for our Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project.
Let's see how to do it.
Mr. Zhao, you need to give me some guidance. Don’t let me destroy the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project that was finally saved by you.”
Zhao Manfu chuckled and said: "Oh, I believe in you, Mr. Song.
Just stick to the principles.
What should I do? Submit your plans and opinions. If I think it works, I'll agree. If I think it doesn't work, I'll discuss it with you again.
But the premise is that you have to have your own clear opinions."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao.
Then let's go out for supper first.
We’ll talk about the specific things while eating, and after the midnight snack, we’ll probably be done with the business.”
Zhao Manfu smiled and said: "Okay.
Since your money is jumping, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't let him jump out.
What do you want to eat? Tell me."
Song Xiaoshan, project manager of the first phase of the Bowen landscape improvement project, laughed and said: “I’m not familiar with this place.
Well, of course it’s because the leader said, we can eat whatever we want, it doesn’t even exist.”
"Well," Zhao Manfu said, "Then, if that doesn't work, let's find the barbecue restaurant we often go to at the door to eat.
That location is close to the project department, and you don’t have to drive. It’s also inconvenient to drive after drinking.”
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, said: “Yes, Mr. Zhao, just arrange it.
I pay the bill, no one is allowed to compete with me to pay the bill tonight."
Zhao Manfu stood up and walked out of the office, greeting Zhang Yunqing, Zhou Wencheng, and Song Xiaoshan, who also followed. The four of them walked to a barbecue restaurant near the Nanshan Project Department.
Zhou Wencheng ordered the barbecue menu very skillfully.
The drinks were discussed between Song Xiaoshan and Zhao Manfu, and they chose to drink ordinary beer.
The waiter first brought a plate of peanuts, a plate of edamame, and then some tea.
Song Xiaoshan said to Zhao Manfu: "Mr. Zhao, hasn't the Nanshan Project Department here already started this invoicing for the next payment?
So, Mr. Zhao, what do you think of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project?
Zhao Manfu smiled and said: "You are the project manager.
I definitely need your opinion on this matter first.
As a project manager, you have to think about your idea first, and then tell me and Zhang Yunqing.
If we both agree, let's do this.
Now the affairs of the Nanshan Project Department have been settled in this way."
"Well," Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project, said with a smile, "I'm still a little undecided about this idea.
I discussed it with Zhou Wen Chengdu for a while.
Regardless of whether we do it or not, it’s still very difficult.”
Zhao Manfu smiled and said: "What's the problem?
As a project manager, what do you think you should do about this matter?
Come up with your opinion and discuss it with us.
If we think we agree, we'll do it. If we think we don't, we'll discuss it with you.
Is this the logic, is it difficult?”
Song Xiaoshan, project manager of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project, laughed: “The main thing is this, no matter what we do, it’s wrong.
If we don't start the next payment, there are only about ten days before New Year's Eve. If it is delayed for another three to five days, the people who are doing the payment orders may have gone home for the New Year, so who will do it?
What about the payment slip?
In this case, wouldn’t it be impossible to pay the money you bet at all?
But if you want to start the next payment, it is indeed because the official version of the capital plan has not been approved by the company normally.
This responsibility falls entirely on our project managers.
This project manager alone cannot take on such a big thing."
Zhao Manfu said with a smile: "You are the one who is laughing. Who asked your project manager to take on all this alone? Have you asked Zhou Wencheng clearly? Do you understand how the Nanshan Project Department handled it?"
"
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, said: "Maybe I didn't ask that detailed question, so can I explain it further if it's convenient?"
Zhao Manfu said: "I don't need to tell you anymore.
The decisions and policies announced here were all announced by Zhang Yunqing, let Zhang Yunqing explain it to you."
"Well," Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, turned to Zhang Yunqing and said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Zhang.
I need you to help me explain this matter.
I'm quite anxious about the payment right now. When the wine comes, I'll toast you with a few more glasses, please excuse me."
Zhang Yunqing said with a smile: "It can be explained.
But after I explain it to you, instead of toasting me with an extra glass of wine, I want to toast me with a glass of less wine, because I really don’t have the capacity to drink.”
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, laughed and said: "Ouch, Mr. Zhang.
What is your logic?
Of course, toasting more glasses of wine at the wine table shows respect. How can you show full respect by toasting less than one glass of wine? Alas, I don't understand."
Zhang Yunqing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, everyone else would be better off toasting with one more glass of wine.
It would have been better if I had less toast here.
The reason is that my drinking capacity is too small. If I drink too much, I will get drunk very quickly and will not be able to chat with everyone.
As long as everyone is happy with the wine, it doesn't have to be one cup after another.
Right?
You need to explain this matter now. It just so happens that everyone hasn't drank yet, so I'll explain it to you again.
Well, I won’t go into details about the Nanshan project.
Let’s talk directly about the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project.
Well, Mr. Song, do you think this is okay?"
Song Xiaoshan, the project manager of the first phase of the landscape improvement project in Bowen, smiled and said: "Of course, Mr. Zhang, I'm all ears to what you say."
Zhang Yunqing said: "Actually, the basic situations of your Bowan Phase I landscape improvement project department and Nanshan project department are similar.
Two days ago, didn't I say that your greening labor team foreman, Sister Jiang, was still planning to stop work?
The reason is that I didn't get paid.
His salary slip should have been sent to Kyoto, but he hasn’t received his wages yet, right?"
Song Xiaoshan, project manager of the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project, replied: "Yes, that's the situation."
Zhang Yunqing continued: "So you still have seedling suppliers, ecological railings, materials, and so on, as well as machine fees, which need to be paid.
To put it bluntly, there are two methods for your matter.
One way is to tell them the planned payment amount in advance and let them issue invoices; another way is not to notify them in advance to issue invoices, but to wait for when the company will notify them that the fund plan can be used, then
We will then notify the next company to issue an invoice.
Song Xiaoshan, project manager of the first phase landscape improvement project of Bowen, replied: "Yes, it's the two situations."
Zhang Yunqing said: "If we wait for the company to start the work on the next payment after notifying the company that the capital plan can be implemented, it is very likely that he will never notify us. Then when will we stay up? Until the day of New Year's Eve
?Don’t you all go back to celebrate the New Year?
It may not be very realistic to wait for this matter like this. At least so far, we have not seen any signs from the company that the capital plan to be notified to us can be signed and approved.
So, based on my own judgment, the path of waiting for notification from the company is probably not feasible.
Because waiting is definitely an obvious dead end, and the company will not understand us yet, and then conflicts in the project department will definitely be caused by workers and suppliers every day. At that time, there are bad things everywhere, and it will also affect
The company's reputation.
Think about it, Party A has already paid us the project progress payment, and now we are holding on to the money without paying.
This quarrel will definitely go to Party A. Party A will naturally ask where the money we recovered went, was it misappropriated or something else? This will definitely lead to more things that are detrimental to the company.
So if the path of waiting doesn’t work, then let’s talk about the path of waiting.”
"Okay, the way to wait is now clearer.
Mr. Zhang, go on."
“The long-term solution, which is the current situation, is that you must have a clear opinion on the Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project.
Are you willing to assume your corresponding responsibilities in order to settle payments from suppliers?
If you are willing, then you can give it to the area. Now everyone is here and everyone has discussed it.
Alas, I am the business person in charge of the area and I am willing to bear this responsibility for payment.
We have the responsibility to let them issue invoices and pay in advance, because after all, if we don’t pay them, we will definitely not be able to make it through the New Year. Most people will make trouble with us every day.
So, if we let him issue an invoice and go to the company to apply for payment of the following amount, what second phase projects will we have after the next year? If we think these labor teams and suppliers are doing a good job, we can give priority to them.
Choose him to continue our cooperation with us.
After that, everyone's cooperation became smoother and smoother.
The company can rest assured, and then the suppliers can also rest assured of the project department.
This is complementary to each other.
In addition, these labor teams and suppliers usually help us grab jobs. Now during the Chinese New Year, we should support others in paying progress payments.
Rather than saying that we are just ignoring it because we are afraid that the company will say we have a problem. In fact, to put it bluntly, these project managers need to have a certain amount of courage.
So what about our area?
At least our Nanhai area has not yet said, forcing you, the project manager, whether you must do this or you must not do this.
We still respect the project manager’s decision-making.
If you think you can bear it, then of course you can continue to bear it.
If you feel that you can't bear it, well, you need to start the next payment quickly, then report this to us immediately.
Then Mr. Zhao and I should be able to agree with your opinion, right? Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Manfu nodded and said, "Well, I think that's what it means."
Zhang Yunqing said: "Every situation has been explained.
Is the payment process for your Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project about to start now?
Do you need to notify all the next parties to issue invoices to you?
This still requires you as a project manager to come up with a decision-making opinion yourself.
If you agree, then let Jin Haoran inform everyone to arrange invoicing.
If you want to say that when the company wants to hold people accountable, you must be responsible, but this responsibility is not entirely yours. Except that you are responsible, that is for sure. Mr. Zhao and I are also responsible.
We should each bear corresponding responsibilities.
Because we agreed when you discussed it with us, we did not deny it and said, "Oh, your fund plan has not been approved, so you can't pay."
We consider the situation from the front line.
What should we do that is most beneficial to the company?
This is something the area is thinking about.
So far, the due money has been received, and the price has been recognized. Right? At the beginning of the new year, we have begun to arrange for the completion drawings to be drawn and the due settlement to be made.
This person should also pay what he paid.
We should move forward with the payment work for the next party, and don't let the next party, whether it is a supplier, a labor worker, or a machinery owner, find the reason for not paying in time, and then make trouble.
We also want to do a second phase project.
If we just let him cause trouble, what else will we do in the second phase?
Party A is definitely not willing to let us receive the task of doing the second phase of the construction. And now the second phase, verbally, we are allowed to carry out the construction. If we have been unable to solve the payment problem, let the workers
Ah, the labor team, the machinery boss, go to Party A to cause trouble.
Annoying others.
Well, someone in Party A originally disagreed with giving us the second-phase project. In that case, wouldn't they just take back the second-phase project?
Therefore, I think that no matter what your Bowen Phase I landscape improvement project is, you should immediately notify the next party to issue an invoice and start the payment process.
Otherwise, has your Jin Haoran told you which day he plans to go home for the New Year? Mr. Song."
Song Xiaoshan smiled and said: "As I said, Jin Haoran means that we should discuss the payment quickly, and he will leave after finishing the payment order.
Then once the payment slip is completed and sent back to Kyoto, he will forget about it.
The rest is up to us as leaders to communicate there. For others who need to be contacted by him, he said that he can just call him at any time.
He brought his laptop with him, and if there was anything that needed to be changed on the computer, he would change it on the computer, and he would have wanted to run away."
"Since the situation is like this." Zhang Yunqing said: "Then I think you should make a decision quickly. Should you notify all the subcontracting teams to issue invoices? While Jin Haoran is still working in the project department, make the right decision.
Make the payment order for the next payment and start the review process for the next payment."
Song Xiaoshan said: "Yes.
But as for this, I think I can put it more bluntly. For the benefit of the payment of all their subordinates, I will be adversely affected by this incident in terms of promotion and salary increase in the future.
, I think it’s not cost-effective.”
Zhao Manfu said: "You don't have to worry about this issue. As long as you are always within my management scope, you are now the acting project manager. As long as the Bowen Phase II project is completed, you will be promoted to a regular position as normal.
