"The first phase of the project will be rewarded with an additional 1 million yuan, that is, 200,000 US dollars. We divided the project into four parts, corresponding to the project teams of BASF, Xinxing Group, Sinopec and the construction teams hired by ourselves. Distribute ...... according to the ratio of 3:3:2:2" Standing at the front of the conference room, Zhang Chao said while showing the legend: "In this, BASF can get a reward of 300,000 yuan per day, and if it is 10 days in advance, it will have 600,000 US dollars." I think it can increase their motivation. ”

"Then have you calculated how much more money they will spend every day if they want to increase their speed?" Zhong Zhigen sat on the main seat. He was the head of the Strategic Division, and all the documents submitted by the Division to Sioux City had to be reviewed by him.

Zhang Chao admires Zhong Zhigen a lot, parallel projects are not just pulled out by one person, and they can be done if they want to. It takes a real genius, after a decade or two of systematic training, and with the talent and the right opportunity, to develop this skill. It can be seen as a designer of a planned economy.

The difference is that the concurrent engineering is designed for a large group of companies, not a country. Of course, some multinationals are not inferior in size to countries, so much so that the difference in level between good and bad designers can create a cost difference of tens of billions of dollars.

The man who can reduce the cost of tens of billions of dollars for the company naturally makes Zhang Chao respect. He flipped through the document a little and said, "BASF's labor cost is relatively high, if you work overtime." $60,000 a day is estimated to be a lot, but we think they can save 10 days if they increase their productivity...... This is equivalent to free money, which should be willing. ”

But Su Dong's opinion is not to save 10 days. ”

Zhang Chao's tone froze, and then he whispered: "If you want to shorten the time again." You have to increase the bonus. This number, we think is a bit ...... in suspense."

"How much?"

"We believe that BASF will complete the project 30 days ahead of schedule. The direct cost of their overpayment can exceed $100,000 per day, and the hidden cost can exceed $200,000. Taking into account the factors of labor organizations and insurance companies, we believe that BASF will only be interested if the daily completion reward exceeds $300,000. ”

$300,000 is 1.5 million yuan, plus other companies can't favor one over the other, and the result is 5 million yuan per day, which is $1 million in completion awards. This figure may not be uncommon abroad, but at home, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Zhong Zhigen understood Zhang Chao's thoughts and said softly: "I thought about it all night yesterday. Actually, I thought about the question you said. But. Do you think $1 million is a lot for our multi-billion dollar project?"

"Of course it's not much, and our installation cost is more than $1 million a day. If you start work a day earlier. We can return more than $1 million. ”

"That's the truth. The first phase of the ethylene project cost 1 billion US dollars, and the completion award of 1 million yuan is only one thousandth of the equipment price. That's not as much as a day's interest on funds, don't you say?"

"But if we announce the amount of the bonus, I'm afraid that the age of the employees within Chapter 353 is not very old, except for a few state-owned enterprises such as Huo Chang, it is always a little inconvenient for older young people.

Zhang Chao laughed and slipped away to find Sioux City.

In the chairman's office.

Su Cheng saw Zhang Chao's plan, only scanned the numbers, and said: "It is feasible, the key now is to convince BASF." As long as they cooperate, the other few are estimated to have no problems. ”

Zhang Chao was surprised and said, "You agree?"

"What's the problem?"

"The completion award of 1 million US dollars per day, do you know how much the Ministry of Railways issued a completion award before? 1 million yuan, and it was also criticized in the newspaper. ”

"Looking for Li Lin for the media, with an annual budget of tens of millions, if we are scolded, it is the responsibility of the public relations department. "Sioux City doesn't really have any idea about $1 million. His teenage and young adult years were spent in the age of millionaires. In his mind, it was only natural for a large company to come up with a million dollars.

But not ordinary Chinese. Even if Zhang Chao has a relatively wealthy family, it is only worth 10,000 yuan. When he went abroad to study, he also regarded $10 as a huge amount of money. Now when it comes to $1 million, it's natural to be concerned.

However, Su Cheng's affirmation still gave Zhang Chao confidence, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I'll go talk to someone from BASF." Companies such as Xinxing Group will be handed over to others. They probably couldn't ask for it. ”

Su Cheng nodded slightly, thought for a while, stopped him and said, "It's not easy to give money." You have to send someone and other companies to make it clear. BASF is a foreign company, and it is responsible for the main equipment installation work, which is highly technical. Therefore, our requirement is that they are only allowed to wait for BASF, and that BASF cannot be dragged down by their slow speed. ”

"I understand that it's just to make them slightly faster than BASF. ”

"Well, and you have to work hard beforehand. ”

"It's simple. Zhang Chao said, hurriedly leaving.

"Wait. Su Cheng stopped him again and said, "Including the emerging company, what is the payment method?"

"Three installments. ”

"Renminbi?"

"Renminbi. ”

"In this case, the completion award is given to BASF in US dollars, and the other companies must be in RMB. ”

Zhang Chao hesitated and said, "In this case, they probably won't be happy." ”

"If you don't want to, give them a separate completion award, set at 1 million yuan, and you ask them if they can do it. Su Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "It's only the early stage of the project, if you give them the impression that the big Chinese are stupid and have a lot of money, it will be difficult to work in the future." ”

Zhang Chao suddenly, with the completion award policy that is destined to cause controversy, went to find people separately.
