On the first day of December, Cao Jinhai and Chang Sheng came again.

After entering the door, Cao Jinhai directly put a letter on his desk: "Mayor, Pengyan Construction Company has replied again." ”

Chu Tianqi took the letter and looked at it. This reply is relatively simple, and the main content is three paragraphs:

"Your unit: You sent a letter on November 25, and we received it on November 27. Judging from the content of your letter, we have doubts about your sincerity. In any economic activity, the terms of the contract have always been the basis for the joint implementation of cooperation between Party A and Party B, and also play an important binding role on both parties. As a private company, we understand the importance of contract terms and strictly enforce them, and you, as a first-level government, should lead by example. But the fact is that you ignore the terms of the contract and misinterpret it out of context based on your imagination.

In your reply, you highlighted the issue of the '$5 million start-up fee'. The funds themselves appear as a deposit, which is a commitment made by you with funds in order to reflect integrity, and an insurance for the smooth progress of the project. However, instead of fulfilling the obligation to pay for the project as agreed, you are now using the funds as evidence of sophistry. The original contract did not write the time for the return of the funds, which means that the entire project is completed and accepted, and the funds are only returned after the full payment of the project is completed. Since this fund does not have the function you imagined, the few items you proposed this time are not worth refuting at all, and they are themselves water without source and wood without roots.

Originally, we also had the intention of gradually returning this fund, but you first breached the contract first, and now you deliberately confuse the public, so that we really can't believe you, let alone return this money. You are both a client and a government agency with many administrative privileges. Our company is worried that if there is no such fund as a constraint, our rights and interests will not be protected at all, in fact, we are also deeply worried now. I kindly ask you to refrain from using the tone of command in your subsequent letters, and if you continue to do so, please do not write to you. ”

Chu Tianqi sighed secretly, put down the letter in his hand, and said, "What do you think?"

Cao Jinhai did not squeak, but turned his head to legal counsel Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng said: "The meaning of the other party is obvious, the premise of the meeting between the two parties is that Party A must first admit the breach of contract and must bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract." ”

Chu Tianqi interjected: "Assuming that Party A admits the breach of contract and assumes the corresponding responsibility, will the other party meet? If they meet, how will the other party talk?"

"It probably would. After the meeting, the other party should continue to perform according to the original contract. "Chang Shengdao.

"Then can we continue to start this project and continue to execute the original contract?" Chu Tianqi asked.

Chang Sheng replied: "That's the administrative thing, from a legal perspective, that's it." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Advisor Chang, I can tell you clearly that we can't continue to start this project, at least we can't continue to start this project according to the original contract." ”

Chang Sheng said: "That is, Party A continues to breach the contract, and the other party will definitely not agree." ”

"Consultant Chang, how do we phrase it so that we don't need to bear this liability for breach of contract, and we can achieve the purpose of not continuing to perform the contract?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"That's a bit unreasonable, and as a lawyer, I don't think that is tenable. "It's cold when you win.

"I think it can be replied that according to the terms of the conventional construction contract, after the acceptance of the sub-project, it is generally only necessary to pay 80%, but the two contracts agree to pay 95%, which is obviously in violation of the conventional terms. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the terms of the original contract to 80 per cent, and then calculate whether the payment has reached the payable standard according to this ratio. Of course, when you reply, you have to introduce some legal clauses or individual cases. Chu Tianqi said in a consultative tone, "Do you think it's okay?"

"There is no such clause. If Mayor Chu asks for such a reply, I can do so. "Chang Sheng's words are still cold," I said, going back to pondering the words. With that, he stood up and walked out of the house.

Chu Tianqi looked at Cao Jinhai: "Director Cao, why don't you speak?"

"I'm not very good at the legal terms. Cao Jinhai said.

"That's all?" Chu Tianqi asked, "Say whatever you want, I want to listen to the truth." ”

Cao Jinhai thought for a while before saying: "I think the other party is too unreasonable, the payment ratio is so high, and there is so much money, but now they are always picking on things and taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract." The construction contract itself is problematic and unreasonable, and Pengyan Company is now fearless. Chang Sheng's position is definitely problematic, this is like earning money from the Chengkang Municipal Government, and he is clearly the spokesperson of Pengyan Company. We are too concerned with Pengyan, and we are too concerned with Changsheng. ”

"What if we don't get involved now? Who made us sign that unlucky contract. There is no problem with the position of the permanent consultant, legal workers have always been rational, and if they are willful, they will not be qualified for the profession of lawyer. Chu Tianqi said.

"Since we have to tie each other because of the unlucky contract, and Chang Sheng is rational, what results can we negotiate?" Speaking of this, Cao Jinhai was a little hesitant, "Mayor, you see that I am not good at this kind of thing, and it will not play a role, so let's just let me do more of my own work." ”

"If you want to pick a child, you can't do that. Chu Tianqi waved his hand again and again.

"If we continue like this, can we win?" Cao Jinhai asked the question of that day.

"What do you say?" Chu Tianqi also asked rhetorically.

Cao Jinhai smiled: "I actually have confidence in you, it's just that Chang Sheng and the other party's approach ......" Halfway through the words, he changed the topic, "Mayor, there is still a meeting in the bureau, everyone is waiting for me." ”

"Then you can go back. Chu Tianqi waved his hand.

"Okay. Cao Jinhai stood up, walked towards the door, took two steps and turned his head, "Mayor, there may be something wrong with what I just said, don't be surprised." Also, please think about that little request of mine. I'll go first. With that, he walked out of the house.

……

Out of the house, Cao Jinhai took the stairs and went downstairs. As soon as he reached the fourth floor, he noticed that a woman with a meat bun face came from downstairs. He secretly said "The road is narrow", and he prepared to go upstairs.

"Cao Jinhai, don't go, what did you mean that day?" The woman opposite spoke, it was the deputy mayor Guan Liying.

The other party had already asked, Cao Jinhai could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to stop and cope: "I didn't say anything, I forgot." ”

"Forget, you forget quickly, old ......" Guan Liying walked a few steps closely, came in front of Cao Jinhai, and lowered her voice, "I haven't forgotten my advice, right? Let me remind you again, 'The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks', the ending of the lackeys is often not good, especially the lackeys who betray their masters." Some lackeys have been sold and are still counting the money for others, but some lackeys are willing to be cannon fodder for others, giggling ......"

Good men don't fight with women, let alone in government buildings. Having made up his mind, Cao Jinhai bared his teeth at the other party, and quickly took advantage of the other party's god to quickly grab the road.

The humming of "I ran away with my tail between my legs" sounded behind Cao Jinhai.

Coming downstairs, stopping, Cao Jinhai sighed and walked out. Although he hated the stinky woman extremely much, he couldn't help but agree with that woman's statement, and his heart became even heavier.

……

Standing in front of the window, Chu Tianqi looked outside, thinking about something in his heart.

Regarding Cao Jinhai's thoughts and worries, Chu Tianqi knew it. He knew that Cao Jinhai must be able to think of many things, and he must be able to understand the mystery of that annex, and it is not excluded that he obtained some "inside information" from his master. But after receiving the reply letter from Pengyan Company these two times, Chu Tianqi did not explain more to help the other party clarify his doubts, which is not only because many ideas cannot be said now, and it will not work if he says them, but at the same time, he is also testing the other party to see if the other party can withstand the test and how much of a test it can withstand.

And to be honest, whether his ideas can be realized or not, and to what extent, Chu Tianqi is not completely sure in his heart. Because this is not a math problem, it is not the only correct solution that can be obtained by hard work and hard work, the other party is a living person, a company and an individual with great energy, and many objective factors will also have an unpredictable impact on the result. What he can do now is to move forward bravely, but not to be brave, but to be wise and brave, and be good at protecting himself while attacking, guarding against all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows coming from the front and side.

Chu Tianqi is doing this now, which seems to have accommodated Pengyan Company and Chang Sheng, but in fact, it has also led Cao Jinhai. But he is not fearless accommodation, he has his own intentions, and this accommodation is also part of the realization of his ideas.

Cao Jinhai's figure appeared downstairs, with his head down, his steps slow, and he looked preoccupied.

Chu Tianqi retracted his gaze, paced to the side of his seat, and sat down. Then I opened the notebook and marked it with a red pen against some of the things on it.

There was a knock on the door of the "tuk tuk" house, and Li Ziteng was allowed to enter the house.

Coming to the desk, Li Ziteng said: "Mayor, Zhao Shun is coming to report and ask when you have time." ”

"When...... Let him arrive in half an hour. Chu Tianqi replied.

Answering "yes", Li Ziteng exited the room.

Chu Tianqi knew that Zhao Shun must have come here today for those two plots. For this task, Zhao Shun followed very closely, he had already reported in person once a few days ago, and later called twice to report, it seems that his consideration is right.

For those two pieces of land, Pengcheng Company had already paid the transfer fee, even if it was only flat and not built, the Urban Construction Bureau could understand the relevant matters, but Chu Tianqi deliberately asked Zhao Shun to do this. He did this with his own considerations. I usually pay more attention to Cao Jinhai, especially this time I made Cao Jinhai the actual person in charge of a group, and Zhao Shuntong was the director of the department in charge, but he didn't catch anything. In order to balance as much as possible, Chu Tianqi found Zhao Shun and handed over this "important task" to the other party. Zhao Shun may have found the feeling of being valued, or he may have been involved in this business after all, but he is very concerned. In addition, in addition to the balance, Chu Tianqi is also using Zhao Shun and Cao Jinhai to contain each other, so as not to dominate the family and pick on himself.

Letting Zhao Shun follow up on these two plots is also a kind of accommodation in itself. In fact, there are accommodations everywhere in life, but sometimes I don't pay attention to it, or I don't want to admit it. As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, what is the point of temporary accommodation? Accommodation is also a strategy.
