Chapter 5 [Self-recommendation (Part I)]
Seeing that the company had something to do, Mo Fan hurriedly got up and gave way.
The new group of people, together with the four of Mr. Chen, gathered around the coffee table to discuss. These people seemed to be in a hurry, and after discussing for a while, some people said, this is not the way, let's go to the conference room for a meeting. Another person said that this is not the case with the meeting, and continued the rambling argument.
Mo Fan looked at these people from the periphery, feeling a little helpless. With the momentum of the group, it looks like the discussion will continue for a while. Saying goodbye is obviously a lack of etiquette, and I haven't done a good job in this area before, so don't do it this time. stepped forward to say goodbye, Mr. Chen was surrounded by a bunch of people and couldn't see anyone, whether he squeezed in or shouted outside, it was not good.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost four o'clock, and it was definitely too late to go back to the company to make a contract before getting off work, so I could only talk about it tomorrow.
Thinking of his small and stuffy room, Mo Fan didn't have much interest in going home early, if that place could be considered home. Anyway, Mr. Chen's office was very air-conditioned, so he simply sat down on the sofa on the other side, and waited for them to say goodbye to Mr. Chen before leaving, so he thought it was here to enjoy the shade.
After listening to it for a while, Mo Fan figured out what was going on.
Mr. Chen's company is going to conduct a bidding, the project amount is hundreds of millions, and the date is tomorrow. Today they got the latest version of the design plan from the owner side of the tender, which has changed a lot from the previous design plan in terms of structural situation, resulting in the almost complete nullification of their previous plan.
Mo Fan was very suspicious that Mr. Chen did not give enough benefits to the relevant personnel on the bidding side, how could he only get the latest design drawings the day before the bidding, isn't this a rectification! Of course, it is not excluded that their competitors are making it bad.
What is more tragic is that the chief engineer in charge of this aspect on Mr. Chen's side just took a vacation yesterday and took his family to travel to an island. The chief engineer probably couldn't have imagined that the plan he had worked on with people for more than half a month had become waste paper.
Among the people present at present, no one can carry this piece to trigger this discussion.
Mo Fan sighed in his heart, capitalists are really black-hearted, and they are used to squeezing the maximum value of laborers. In such a big company, there is only one chief engineer who can do this, so you won't arrange a replacement? I don't know how long the chief engineer worked hard to get such a vacation opportunity.
Looking at the people who were arguing endlessly, Mo Fan shook his head secretly. It's so noisy, and there is no result until dawn, and it can't be said that they are all waste, and the lack of technology and experience can't be made up for in a while. There may be people who have the ability, but lack the self-confidence and courage to take responsibility, so they dare not stand up.
Hey, what a great opportunity, as long as you can carry this matter, your value will definitely be very different in the future.
But should I grasp this opportunity in front of me? I seem to understand what they are talking about!
Mo Fan was a little moved, and Mr. Chen had already slapped the table over there, and said loudly: "Noisy, noisy, noisy, what else will you do besides quarrel?" So many people can't even come up with a plan, you have been doing this business for three years, and more than ten years, is that enough, ah?"
Chen Weijie's appearance is not amazing, but the boss's aura radiates, and the employees are not afraid, and they are all silent.
The current problem cannot be solved by noise, and the anger cannot be solved. Chen Weijie raised his hand and said, "Go back and do what you have at hand first." ”
A group of people left the office, leaving only Chen Weijie and his three cronies.
Lao Liu said, "Do you want Lao Wang to come back?" Lao Wang is the chief engineer of their company.
Chen Weijie glared at Lao Liu: "Do you think you can catch up?"
Lao Wu said: "No, call Lao Wang first and ask his opinion." ”
Chen Weijie glared at Lao Wu again and said, "What do you think you can say clearly on the phone?"
He will be upset and glared at whomever he wants. Xiao Xia, the youngest, was very knowledgeable and simply kept silent.
Chen Weijie glared at Mo Fan like this, but when he saw Mo Fan, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a different tone: "Xiao Mo, I'm sorry, I'm going to take you aside." ”
When Mr. Chen reprimanded his subordinates, Mo Fan went up to join in the fun, and when he saw him talking to himself, he stepped forward and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Chen, I completely understand." ”
On the coffee table was a large stack of drawings left by those people, which should be the design drawings of the bidding project. Mo Fan didn't show any intention of leaving, sat down next to Chen Weijie, pointed to the drawings and said, "Mr. Chen, can I take a look at this?"
"Oh, you still understand this?" Chen Weijie was surprised and moved the stack of drawings to Mo Fan.
"I understand a little. Mo Fan said with a sneering smile, taking the drawings and looking at them.
This is a stack of A3-sized drawings, more than 200 sheets. Mo Fan was slow at first, but then he flipped through a picture in a second or two.
There is a science fiction film where the protagonist has a very rebellious ability, called high-definition image memory ability. Mo Fan didn't know if he had a high-definition version of this, but he found that he had the ability to memorize drawings. It takes about a second to scan each image, and everything is memorized in your head.
As the drawings kept flipping backwards, the lines on those planes became three-dimensional models in his mind. The more drawings are turned over, the more complete the 3D model becomes.
Chen Weijie only thought that Mo Fan was a little curious about their project, so he wanted to look at the drawings, young man, it is not surprising that he is curious. But I didn't expect him to have this view, the first ten or so pages are probably still read, and the back is to brush and turn the pages, so it's also called looking at the picture?
Lao Liu and the three of them were also puzzled, did this kid turn a page with a flower printed on it?
However, Chen Weijie said that people are allowed to read it, since they like to turn it, then turn it, according to this page turning speed, it won't take long to turn a picture.
The four of them looked at each other, all a little helpless. Chen Weijie handed out cigarettes to everyone, sighed after lighting them, and said, "It's really not good, let's give up this project." ”
The other three were silently smoking, all a little unwilling. Lao Liu said: "Someone is making a bad thing inside. ”
Chen Weijie was angry and said: "Nonsense." Of course, he was not reconciled, but there was really no way to think about it.
If it's a small project, he can give up profits or even lose money to win, and it's good to disgust his opponent. There are times when businessmen do not pursue profits, such as because of face problems. But this is a big project of hundreds of millions of yuan, and he can't afford to be arrogant. In the steel structure industry, the profit margin is not high under normal circumstances, and if you really want to lose it, it will be uncertain.
And this kind of project is by no means a price advantage can be won, if there is a problem with the production and installation plan, can not meet the evaluation requirements of the owner, do not expect to get this project. Larger projects have to consider the impact, and cost is of course one thing, but quality and cycle times and safety factors are also extremely important.
At this time, Mo Fan finished reading the entire set of drawings, which took about 7 minutes. In his mind, a three-dimensional model of the building was completed.
However, because of the problems with the blueprints themselves, the building in his mind was not perfect. The design drawings used for bidding are not the final design drawings, and there are almost no omissions. This set of drawings is mainly to let the bidder understand the engineering quantity, structural form, production and installation difficulty and so on.
After Mo Fan finished flipping through the picture, Mr. Chen and the others stopped talking and looked at him. Mo Fan could feel that he was waiting for him to leave. After all, the company is in trouble, and a few people are troubled, and his pestle is quite an eyesore here. If it weren't for the pleasant communication before, I'm afraid I would have evicted the customers a long time ago.
But Mo Fan had another idea. Helping Mr. Chen do this is good for everyone. It would be a shame not to seize this opportunity.
And he wants to challenge his abilities, or rather, he likes it.
"Mr. Chen, if I say that I can help you make a new bid, do you believe it?"
"You?" Chen Weijie was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Xiao Mo, don't be joking." ”
Mo Fan also smiled, and then said, "Mr. Chen, I'm definitely not joking. ”
Chen Weijie was very surprised, he felt Mo Fan's seriousness, but he didn't believe that Mo Fan had this ability. Even if Mo Fan studied this major before and had excellent grades, there are too many aspects to consider to bid for a big project, and it is impossible to complete it without ten or eight years of work experience.
Lao Liu, Lao Wu, and Xiao Xia all looked at Mo Fan with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a person who was talking in his sleep in broad daylight.
Chen Weijie glanced at the three cronies, obviously dissatisfied with their demeanor. Anyway, Mo Fan wants to help them, his mind is good, how can he look at others like this?
Chen Weijie said: "Xiao Mo, this matter is not simple, are you sure?"
Mo Fan said: "I don't have much certainty now, only thirty percent." I'd like to see the bids you made earlier. ”
Before bidding, the tender is considered a company's high-level trade secret, how can it be easily shown to outsiders. If the bid can be invalidated, it depends on the attitude of the boss.
Chen Weijie thought to himself, okay, let you see what the tender is like, and you will know how difficult it is. said: "Xiao Xia, you go and bring the tender made by Lao Wang." ”
Xiao Xia showed a disapproving look, got up and went out, and after a while, he came back with a large stack of things, put them in front of Mo Fan's eyes, and said, "Take a good look." The words couldn't help but reveal sarcasm.
Lao Liu and Lao Wu showed a gloating look on their faces, as if to say, boy, dumbfounded, right?
This tender includes more than 200 pages of design drawings from the previous edition on A3 paper, and more than 500 pages of text on A4 paper.
Mo Fan first looked at the previous version of the design drawing, and after reading it, he knew why the technicians under Mr. Chen were so panicked.
The exterior styling of the two designs is the same, and if they are both built, there is no difference in appearance. But in the eyes of insiders, it seems that the bridge was originally going to be built, but now the bridge is not repaired, and the undersea tunnel has been changed. The difference is so big.
At the same time, Mo Fan also knew why this design plan was scrapped. Because there was a major flaw in this, it was redesigned in its current structural form.
