"This is... a contract?"
Xu Qingqing glanced at the cover of the document and instantly understood.
This is a very common type of infrastructure project contract.
Moreover, it was a contract that Wang Qian had signed with his previous team.
"Do you think I'd take advantage of the situation and deliberately undervalue the previous team's price?"
Wang Qian pointed to the document and said, "Take a look at it yourself first."
"You really want to show it to me?"
While the others were surprised, Xu Qingqing felt more ashamed.
That was indeed what she was thinking just now; she felt that Wang Qian would take the opportunity to trick her.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to show her the contract they had signed with another team.
Why?
Is Wang Qian stupid?
Or is it that Wang Qian signed a contract with his previous team for such a low price that there was no need to hide it?
Yes, that must be it!
After all, the previous team did such a bad job on the project, it must have been because Wang Qian didn't invest enough money, which is why they drastically reduced costs. Otherwise, how would they make money?
Out of curiosity, she quickly flipped open the contract and started reading.
She was shocked when she saw it.
The price Wang Qian signed with his previous team was a staggering 288,000 yuan.
This price far exceeded her expectations.
In her imagination, it would be at most 250,000.
Especially since Wang Qian had just shown her the contract, she even guessed that it might be less than 200,000.
If it's really less than 200,000, and she only wants 60% of the original team's price, plus the construction must meet the standards, then she'll lose too much.
Unexpectedly, it was much higher than the market price.
If she were to take over, she could guarantee to recoup her costs even at just 60% of the price.
"How about it?"
Wang Qian asked at the opportune moment, "Is that acceptable?"
"able!"
Xu Qingqing puffed out her chest and confidently assured him, "Don't worry, as long as it's 60% of the price, I will do my best to help you build the best factory."
She had already visited Wang Qian's factory to investigate its scale.
According to her budget, if she were to take over, the cost would only be between 160,000 and 180,000.
Of course, once it's actually built, the actual expenditure may vary slightly, but it won't be by much.
If we followed the previous team's approach of drastically cutting costs, we could probably have completed the entire project for less than 100,000 yuan.
It's easy to imagine how greedy and ruthless the previous team was.
"By the way, since you've gone to inspect the site, how long do you estimate it will take to complete the entire project according to your budget?" Wang Qian asked again.
"this……"
Xu Qingqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe three or four months!"
"Three or four months?"
Wang Qian frowned slightly. "It's taking too long. Can we shorten the construction period?"
"That's possible, but I'll need to temporarily recruit more members."
Xu Qingqing smiled wryly, "As you know, my company doesn't have many employees. If we want to shorten the construction period, we can only hire more people, but..."
"Just what?"
Seeing that Xu Qingqing hesitated to speak, Wang Qian urged, "Just say whatever you want to say, we can discuss it."
“Recruiting more workers will significantly increase costs, and given our company’s current financial situation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to sustain it for long.”
"I see..."
After a moment's thought, Wang Qian said, "How about this, if you can shorten the construction period to two months, I can not only pay you the first installment in advance, but also raise the total price to the same level as the original team."
"real?"
Xu Qingqing was overjoyed.
At the same price as the original team, even if she temporarily expands her staff, she will not only not lose money, but will also make a lot of money.
"Of course it's true!"
Wang Qian nodded and said seriously, "However, the prerequisite is that you can shorten the construction period to within two months."
"sure!"
Xu Qingqing assured, "As long as we recruit more employees, we should be able to complete the task within two months!"
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Wang Qian urged, "Then draft a contract, and we'll both review it. If there are no problems, we can sign it!"
"Okay, I'll draft a contract myself right away!"
Fearing that Wang Qian might change his mind, Xu Qingqing didn't have time to say more and immediately went to draft the contract.
"Boss, you didn't actually need to make concessions!"
After Xu Qingqing left, Zhou Yuanyuan said this with mixed feelings.
In her view, Wang Qian's honesty to Xu Qingqing and his willingness to make concessions were probably out of consideration for her.
"Yuanyuan, this has nothing to do with you!"
Wang Qian said, "I'm just trying to build the factory as well as possible."
He was telling the truth.
He's a businessman; unless absolutely necessary, he'll prioritize profit.
He had just offered Xu Qingqing a higher price, not only to fulfill her wish, but also because he wanted the factory to be put into use as quickly as possible.
He has already developed a market for his roasted green pepper sauce business, but what he lacks is a steady supply of ingredients.
Therefore, as long as the factory can start up two or three months ahead of schedule, he can earn back the extra money in those two or three months.
Moreover, if we increase the price for Xu Qingqing, the other party will have a sufficient budget and will invest more in building the factory, resulting in better quality.
"I wonder how the project will turn out?"
Zhou Yuanyuan was still worried, "If they don't do a good job, and I'm the one who introduced them, then..."
"It's none of your business!"
Wang Qian patiently comforted her, "I know about your relationship with Xu Qingqing, but whatever the outcome of my business with her is, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself."
