Chapter 1472 Big Fish Eats Small Fish
Li Ye agreed to give Master Kang more money, and both of them were happy, and Shang Bin and Cong Jinhong were also very happy.
After the bid evaluation was completed, Shang Bin immediately asked Cong Jinhong to draft the contract, and then prepared to notify Wang Bingxian to send someone to sign.
But before Shang Bin could notify Wang Bingxian, Wang Bingxian called Shang Bin first.
"Lao Shang, have you hired Kang Zhizhong to supervise the project?"
"Kang Zhizhong?"
Shang Bin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Li Ye did bring a middle-aged man named Kang here today. He had a stern face, as if his parents had died, which was very annoying. What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
Wang Bingxian sneered and said, "It's not just me who knows him. Everyone in the entire Beijing construction circle knows him. Replace him immediately and don't cause yourself any trouble."
Shang Bin was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief, "Isn't that true? Li Ye even took the initiative to recommend Honghua Company today. If the Master Kong you mentioned is that powerful..."
"I know who he is better than you."
Wang Bingxian interrupted Shang Bin and said sharply, "Old Shang, we're walking a tightrope. Do you understand what it means to walk a tightrope? We can't tolerate the slightest risk. Are you crazy letting someone like Kang Zhizhong supervise the project?"
"Whether I am crazy or not, I don't need you to judge."
Shang Bin was also annoyed. After all, he was the president of the group. Wang Bingxian was just a broker, not the person behind him. What qualifications did he have to question him harshly?
Wang Bingxian spends all day in the circle of powerful people, acting as a bridge of communication, but after a long time, does he really think that he is also powerful?
Wang Bingxian seemed to realize his own problem and softened his tone, saying, "Lao Shang, don't blame me for being harsh. That Li Ye is obviously not a good person. He brought Kang Zhizhong here just to disgust people."
Shang Bin interrupted Wang Bingxian and said directly, "Li Ye interfered previously because he spent millions more on the land. There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall, but your project quote is very reasonable this time. What reason does he have to be so disgusting?"
Wang Bingxian was stumped. He couldn't possibly claim he was looking to make a killing on the project, could he? You wouldn't let me just take the price on the bid, would you? Then what was the point of Shangbin?
Wang Bingxian was silent for a moment before he said, "I won't say anything more. In short, we must get 30% of the project advance payment before we start construction, otherwise we will definitely be controlled by others."
"Thirty percent advance payment for the project?"
Shang Bin was shocked and said, "That's not what your bid says. You can only get 30% at the end of the first phase of the project. Aren't you going back on your word?"
Wang Bingxian said calmly, "You need to get 30% before the end of the first phase of the project. Before that, you need to get 20% of the entry fee first, and then you can collect the remaining fees bit by bit."
"Entry fee? Are you kidding me? You didn't specify it clearly when you bid, and now you're asking me for money?"
Shang Bin almost hung up the phone.
Before bidding, I was worried that Wang Bingxian would not win the bid. Now that I have won the bid, Wang Bingxian has given me this kind of problem again. Who is causing trouble here?
Although site entry fees are not uncommon in engineering projects in China, generally ranging from 15% to 30% of the total project price, Shangbin’s request does not seem excessive. However, the bids were originally issued in front of more than a dozen units, and the other units have better conditions than yours. What do you want Shangbin to do now?
But Wang Bingxian laughed and said, "If my bid isn't clear, then why don't you also not write your contract too clearly?"
Wang Bingxian used three shell companies to bid, and each of the bids had "extremely distinct" advantages. Otherwise, he was not a god, so how could he guarantee to win the bid?
The various ambiguities in Honghua Company's bid were also deliberately added by Wang Bingxian. No matter how outrageous the bid was, Wang Bingxian only needed to do some public relations when the time came, and all the unclear points would tilt in his favor.
But the problem is that this time he met Li Ye and Kang Zhizhong, and Wang Bingxian felt uneasy. He had to get the money first before he could control Li Ye.
This is just like negotiating a betrothal gift when getting married. Two people have been in love for several years and have spent hundreds of thousands of yuan, but when they have disagreements before getting married, these hundreds of thousands of yuan are sunk costs.
Your character is very important at this time. If you have a soft character, and you know that life will be difficult in the future, but you just don’t want to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars, then you will spend more money.
But if you have a cruel personality, you might turn the table over.
Wang Bingxian felt that Li Ye's personality and style were the kind that could turn the table at any time. Now with the addition of Kang Zhizhong, the difficulty of controlling him increased exponentially.
So he let out a sigh and tried to persuade Shang Bin: "Lao Shang, no matter what, only when our project goes smoothly can everyone make money. A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death. Can't you really control a deputy general manager?"
This is clearly a provocation.
If it were someone else, Shang Bin would have spat back directly, but Wang Bingxian mentioned that "everyone can make money", which made Shang Bin unable to spit.
Then Wang Bingxian said, "Lao Shang, please check your account later! I have a bad mouth, but I am a man of justice and will never treat my friends unfairly."
“.”
Shang Bin was stunned for a while before he realized that the phone had been hung up.
He reacted and immediately called his wife: "Go check if there are any changes in the account and tell me as soon as possible."
An hour later, Shang Bin's wife called him back and said, "The payment for the goods just arrived."
"Keep it a secret, keep it secret from everyone."
"Know."
Shang Bin took a deep breath and leaned back in his boss chair. He felt nervous, tired, and excited, but not timid.
Shang Bin saw through Wang Bingxian's tricks clearly. He wanted to get a 30% advance payment first in preparation for the "supplementary budget" in the future.
Because Shangbin had played the "supplementary budget" game countless times before.
Southwest Heavy Duty Truck spent countless money over the decades, but only managed to produce a few hundred cars. Increasing the budget is their traditional skill. How could Wang Bingxian possibly have deceived Shang Bin?
But so what? The additional money was not his own, so what did it have to do with him?
"Come here, big sister."
Shang Bin called Cong Jinhong to his office and spoke in a low voice for half an hour, until Cong Jinhong's face turned red and white.
But in the end, Shang Bin dealt with Cong Jinhong with just one sentence.
"Go check your relative's company accounts later. Also, be careful with the construction materials and make sure to use high-quality suppliers. I've always been a man of integrity."
. . . . . . . . .
After Jin Hong came out of Shangbin's office, she was both nervous and excited.
Because Southwest Heavy Duty Truck's performance has been poor in recent years, the trading company I opened did not catch up with the good times and has not made much money. Now I finally have this opportunity, and I can't let it go because of a small difficulty!
But Li Ye is really vicious, what should we do?
Cong Jinhong thought about it and picked up the phone.
"Xiao Feng! Have you finalized the contract with Honghua Company?"
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps.
Shang Bin gave the dirty work to Cong Jinhong. Doesn’t Cong Jinhong know how to pass it on to someone else?
