Han Zhan put down his phone, stared at Katie, and asked her, "What's the matter, Katie?"
Katie said, "It's like this. President Bei suddenly took a leave this afternoon due to something, but he has a bidding meeting that he must attend tonight..." Han Zhan had already guessed what Katie meant by the rest of her words.
"Where's Mr. Li?"
"I've asked Mr. Li, and he's busy. He has to go to the hospital to accompany Old Madam Li in the evening." Some time ago, Mother Li was trying to grab discounted vegetables in the supermarket, and was accidentally squeezed to the ground. She suffered a stroke and is now in the hospital.
The relationship between Li's mother and Su Beibei remained strained. On the night of the accident, Su Beibei had visited Li's mother, but she hadn't even glanced at her. Li Li couldn't bear to see Su Beibei being wronged by her mother, so he stopped allowing her to visit Li's mother.
Li Li found a professional caregiver for his mother, and he would try his best to find time to visit his mother in the hospital.
Han Zhan knew that Li Li really couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to go to the bidding meeting by himself.
Wangdongcheng University Town was in urgent need of relocation due to its age, outdated facilities, and backward environment. After several meetings and discussions, the municipal government finally decided to relocate the university town to the northern suburbs.
This bidding is a bidding conference hosted by the municipal government.
The bidding will be held on the fifth floor of the Great Hall. This bidding is only open to internal bids, and a total of nine companies have received invitation letters to bid.
These nine companies are the most representative real estate companies in Wangdong City.
Zeus Real Estate was newly established and should not have received an invitation, but it was affiliated with the wealthy Zeus International. As the saying goes, "a tall tree offers shade," Zeus Real Estate received extra attention and an invitation.
When these bidding representatives saw that Han Zhan actually came to attend the bidding in person, they immediately felt something was wrong.
There is a legend in Wangdong City——
Where Han Zhan is, there is no room for others!
Everyone felt a little disappointed, fearing that tonight's bidding would fail again.
Han Zhan sat quietly in the first row, letting his assistant draw lots for the speaking order. The assistant drew the fifth place, not too early, but not too late either.
In order to win the bid, the four previous companies wrote beautifully written plans that sounded very attractive. However, in Han Zhan's opinion, those speeches were flashy and superficial.
Finally, it was Zeus Real Estate's turn to make its bidding speech.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Han Zhan stood up, buttoned up his suit, and strode onto the podium. As soon as they saw Han Zhan on stage, everyone couldn't help but look at him, and all of them gathered around him.
Standing on the podium, Han Zhan was calm and composed. He first politely thanked the tenderer for the invitation, and then began to deliver his speech. His speech was very pragmatic, without many flowery words, but it was very convincing.
He first showcased the excellent works of Zeus Real Estate, and then introduced the company's group of ace designers.
After explaining the advantages of Zeus Real Estate, Han Zhan closed his speech. Just when everyone thought he was about to leave the stage, Han Zhan adjusted the microphone.
He obviously had more to say.
Han Zhan habitually wore a pair of simple black-framed glasses when he was working. He gently pushed the legs of his glasses and said with a smile, "What I'm going to say next is from the bottom of my heart. It's not something I'd like to hear, but I still have to say it."
Hearing this, all the bosses sat up straight.
Here it comes, the highlight is here!
Everyone in the audience fell silent, their ears pricked up as they heard Han Zhan say, "Building a school is a great thing that benefits both the country and the people. The state has allocated quite a bit of funding for this university town relocation project. This is a lucrative position."
Everyone: “…”
You don't have to be so blunt.
Han Zhan: "Of course I am greedy for this lucrative job and want to take a bite. But there is a reason why I can reach this position today. Because I know one thing very well: when we eat cake, we can only take the bite you are supposed to take. Don't touch the birthday person's birthday peach. Because if you eat something you shouldn't eat, you will get diarrhea."
The metaphor in his words was profound, and everyone understood it, but no one said anything.
"We're all businessmen, and business is business, and I'm no exception. I want to make money, but I absolutely won't do it at a loss! I can't guarantee anything else, but one thing: every house built by Zeus Real Estate is absolutely safe, with no shoddy work! Schools are where we cultivate our nation's talents. If even the buildings above them are rubbish, how can we even talk about educating people and revitalizing China?"
The last eight words landed on the ground with such force that the entire hall fell silent.
"Mr. Zheng." Han Zhan suddenly pointed to someone.
Mr. Zheng's full name is Zheng Mingqiang, and he is the representative of this bidding party. When Han Zhan called him, Zheng Mingqiang nodded slightly and smiled at him.
Han Zhan looked at Mr. Zheng and said, "Zeus Real Estate has promised that we are willing to build the house first and inspect it later. After the inspection is qualified, the company will make a detailed statistical table with the purchase records of every building material and the salary list of every staff member and give it to you. At that time, you can disburse the funds to us according to the bill on the statistical table."
After hearing every word Han Zhan said, the faces of the other company representatives became stiff and very ugly.
By doing this, Han Zhan has essentially cut off their retreat!
No matter how well-made their plans were, they couldn't beat Zeus Real Estate. They had made it clear they were willing to build the houses first and inspect them later, and only after passing the inspection would they reconcile the funds and disburse the funds!
The lights seemed to have a soul, all focused on the man in a suit on the stage.
