Xu Qingqing considered her words carefully before saying, "I can only describe that abandoned infrastructure project with one word."
"Which character?" Wang Qian asked with interest.
“Black!” Xu Qingqing said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Oh? Why use the word 'black' to describe it?"
"First of all, their foundation is unstable. Don't be fooled by how deep it looks on the outside; that's just a superficial work. I looked at a lot of details, and the internal foundation is very shallow."
When talking about her professional field, Xu Qingqing became less reserved and began to speak eloquently, "In other words, the foundation is very unstable. If it's only two stories, it's okay, but once it exceeds three stories, the earthquake resistance will be very poor."
"Besides these, they also use the cheapest materials, and in order to cut corners, many parts are made very roughly and seriously do not meet the standards."
"In short, the factory that this team built for you was a complete shoddy construction project."
"In order to cut costs as much as possible and make more money, this team has abandoned even the most basic professional ethics."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "If you were in charge of picking them up, what would you do?"
"If it were us taking over, we would completely demolish and rebuild!"
Xu Qingqing immediately gave a brief overview of her plan.
After listening, Wang Qian was somewhat surprised.
According to Xu Qingqing, apart from the wall built by Zhang Tiezhu which was deemed acceptable, all other parts had to be demolished and rebuilt.
Moreover, they had to dig the foundation again and start from scratch.
In addition, Xu Qingqing mentioned many specific details, many of which Wang Qian could not understand.
After all, I'm not someone who works in this field.
However, this does not affect his understanding of Xu Qingqing's overall strategy.
After explaining her ideas in one breath, Xu Qingqing stared at Wang Qian and asked, "If we build it the way I do, will it achieve the level you want?"
"Can!"
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "But regarding the price..."
"The price is negotiable!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingqing interrupted, "You should know that my company hasn't received a single large project since it was established. If you're willing to let me take it, I only need 80% of the price that the original team paid!"
"Eighty percent?" Wang Qian was somewhat surprised.
The previous team was introduced by Li Guangsheng, and Li Guangsheng also got involved in the price negotiation, which led to the final price being set at 288,000.
However, this money needs to be distributed in ten installments.
A deposit of 20,000 yuan will be paid before construction begins;
Twenty thousand will be given after the site is dug.
Twenty thousand will be given for laying the foundation;
And so on.
So far, he has already made three payments to Wu Qiu's team.
In other words, a total of 60,000 was given to the other party.
In his plan, if he were to find another team to take over, and that team needed to demolish and rebuild, the money they would ask for would definitely be more than the previous team.
After all, dismantling the shoddy work left by the previous team also takes time and effort.
As a result, Xu Qingqing only wanted 80%.
If everything is built according to the standards, the cost will only increase indefinitely.
In this situation, if Xu Qingqing only wants 80% of the original team, wouldn't she only be losing money?
However, he was even more surprised when he heard what Xu Qingqing said next.
"How about this, 70%? I'll only charge 70% of the team's price, and they can finish building it for you. What do you think?"
Wang Qian fell silent.
Why is the price getting lower and lower?
"Still think it's too high, huh?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Qingqing compromised, "60% is fine too. Although I will lose money this way, you should already know the situation my company is facing. If we don't get any more projects, my company will go bankrupt!"
When she said this, Xu Qingqing's tone was full of pleading.
"You said it yourself?"
Wang Qian suddenly came to his senses and asked with a half-smile.
"certainly!"
Xu Qingqing nodded emphatically, "No matter how much you offered the previous team, I only want 60% of their price!"
"Can!"
Wang Qian readily nodded, "However, let me make this clear from the start: whether it's up to standard or not can't be determined by words alone; we'll only know once you've built it."
“If you build it substandard, or even turn it into a shoddy project like the last team, I won’t turn a blind eye just because we’re close.”
"in addition……"
Wang Qian added, "The money will be given to you in installments!"
"I know that!"
Xu Qingqing was overjoyed. "As long as you agree to let me take over this project, I can assure you that I will do my best for you."
As if afraid that Wang Qian would change his mind, she asked urgently, "When can we sign the contract?"
"If you've really thought it through and aren't afraid of taking a loss, you can sign anytime!"
"Alright, I'll have someone print out the contract right away!"
Xu Qingqing stood up. "Wait for me a moment, I'll have someone print it right away."
After saying that, she prepared to run out of the store.
This time she didn't come alone, but brought several people with her.
Those few people stood outside the store waiting.
"Wait a minute!"
Wang Qian grabbed Xu Qingqing, "You haven't even asked about the exact price yet, how are you going to print the contract?"
"Ah, right, right, I almost forgot about that!"
Xu Qingqing smiled awkwardly, then realized that she had gotten too excited.
"The contract isn't urgent!"
Wang Qian said, "Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Besides, the details of the contract need to be sorted out slowly; we can't rush it."
“That’s true!” Xu Qingqing nodded in deep agreement.
Then, she cautiously asked, "Could you tell me how much you paid the last team?"
When she asked this question, she was already mentally prepared for Wang Qian to take advantage of her situation.
The question she asked, and the way she proactively lowered the price, were actually very passive approaches, with obvious drawbacks.
Whatever the price Wang Qian signed with his previous team, the price he would say would definitely be much lower than the actual price.
And she only wants 60% of the original team.
After the double decline, it's a foregone conclusion that this project will lose money.
but,
Even knowing she would lose money, she accepted it!
For her, her most pressing goal right now is for the company to secure its first project and get operating normally.
However, she was somewhat surprised when she heard what Wang Qian said next.
I know what you're thinking!
Wang Qian said meaningfully, "However, since I agreed to let you take on this project, it proves that I really think highly of your company."
"And then?" Xu Qingqing was taken aback.
"Wait a minute, I want to show you something!"
As they were talking, Wang Qian walked to the cabinet next to him, took a document out of his briefcase, and placed it on the table in front of Xu Qingqing.
