Seeing Li Huayong's embarrassed appearance, Lin Wei was taken aback at first, but after observation, she found that there were no other problems, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Li Huayong's embarrassment is very rare, this must be teased and teased:

"Tell me honestly, what the hell are you doing? By the way, you've been in retreat for almost a whole day, have you gotten the best offer you boasted about?"

Li Huayong smiled at Lin Wei, but his smile at this time was definitely more ugly than crying.

"Pretending to be forced is really a difficult technical job, even if a traverser like me occasionally wants to pretend to be forced like today, it is easy to pretend to be forced into two. ”

At this moment, Li Huayong was so ashamed and angry, and slipped through such thoughts.

That's right, Li Huayong's series of behaviors since yesterday, he just wants to pretend to be forced. It's just that his pretending is not for no reason, but stems from a secret, a secret that he thinks only he knows, so he must pretend.

The secret is that Li Huayong actually knows the bottom of the Bank of China Building. It would be more accurate to say that Li Huayong knew "the cost of the Bank of China Building in real history".

I must tell the truth, this is actually the biggest source of confidence for Li Hua to be brave in bidding for this project, and it is also the biggest golden finger he is ready to open. Some time ago, he showed a confident and determined appearance in front of others, and his biggest reliance was mainly for this reason.

Because in a sense, the importance of this golden finger is actually greater than the "invertebral method", after all, according to the bidding rules of this project, the technical bid only accounts for 30% of the weight, while the economic bid accounts for 60%, right?

Of course, Li Huayong, who has such a killer weapon in his hand, also has a hard time, and his biggest difficulty is that he knows such a secret, or has such a big killer weapon in his hand, he can't tell others.

After all, such a thing is not the same as the "vertebral method". The "vertebral invertebral method" is a technical problem, and when he gradually leads out this problem with the method of induction, and lets Li Erzi and others participate in it, this will not arouse everyone's suspicion. For example, like Professor Qian of Jitong University, even if he is keenly aware that Li Huayong should be the "initiator" of this method, he will not think about other aspects, he will only think that this young man is very powerful and amazing.

However, the quotation is different, Li Huayong is sure that if he rashly throws out a number, even if this number coincides with the final winning bid, then he is not a miracle in the eyes of others, but a nerve, a magic stick.

Being regarded as a neuropath, of course, is not acceptable to Li Huayong. In no way, Li Huayong thought of this way of pretending to be forced. Li Huayong's wishful thinking is like this: first look at the budget made by Lao Lu, anyway, this number must be different from the final quotation, according to this budget figure, and then combined with the actual cost of the Bank of China Building in real history to get a coefficient.

Then the next problem is to convince Lao Lu and Lao Lei that they accept this coefficient. And since he didn't get the budget from Lao Lu yesterday, he was thinking about what kind of reasons to make up to convince Lao Lu and Lao Lei.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, when Lao Lu's budget came, when Li Huayong saw the summary number, 180 million US dollars! He was dumbfounded for the first time.

What's going on with this Nima? Why is the "cost price" calculated by Lao Lu actually higher than the actual cost of the Bank of China Building in real history? And it is not a little higher, it is really a lot higher.

Li Huayong clearly remembered that the rumors in the rivers and lakes that the real cost of the Bank of China Building was only 130 million US dollars, but now it is 50 million more, how can he operate?

Two digressions need to be said here, the Bank of China Building is just a building built in the 80s, why does Li Huayong know how much it costs? This is mainly because this building is really special enough. This building may not be considered the most classic work of I.M. Pei, but it is definitely the one that has the most topical work.

Most of the topics in the Bank of China Tower are related to the local tyrant building next door, the HSBC Building. This is really a very interesting pair of buildings, it is very common to say that people tear each other, but the tearing between buildings and buildings, it is estimated that there are only these two buildings in Xiangjiang in the world.

The dispute over the background behind these two buildings, the dispute over architectural styles, and the dispute over design concepts, especially after the completion of the Bank of China Building, caused by the "feng shui dispute" of Xiangjiang, is really a wonderful drama, and the "feng shui dispute" of these two buildings has made the citizens of Xiangjiang talk about it for more than 10 years.

It is precisely because the Bank of China Building is often compared with the HSBC Building, and the HSBC Building is the most expensive building in this era, that Li Huayong also remembers the cost of the Bank of China Building.

Li Huayong was skeptical of the statement of "1300 million" at first, but later he watched an exclusive interview with Mr. I.M. Pei in his later years, in which he mentioned the Bank of China Building, and also mentioned that when the central government asked him to design this building, the budget given was quite tight.

Mr. Pei Lao said more general at the time, he just said that the budget given by the Bank of China was only about one-eighth of the HSBC Building, considering that the cost of the HSBC Building is more than one billion US dollars, then one-eighth of it, which is basically consistent with the statement of "1300 million", so subconsciously, Li Huayong also accepted this statement, and was ready to wait here as his biggest golden finger.

Now we should be clear why Li Huayong is dumbfounded, right? Otherwise, everyone often says that "pretending to be forced is to recruit thunderbolts"; although it is not as serious as "recruiting thunderbolts" now, Li Huayong, who began yesterday and is now now, will certainly not be able to run away with a "second force" behavior.

"Tell me, what have you been doing last night until now?"

Li Huayong continued to smirk at Lin Wei, his smile continued to be uglier than crying.

This kind of pretending to be impossible to talk about is really unspeakable. What else can Li Huayong do from last night to now? The only thing he can do, of course, is to re-examine the budget given by Lao Lu, hoping that Lao Lu and they are mistaken.

But before starting this work, Li Huayong didn't expect anything about it, he knew that Lao Lu and they were unlikely to make mistakes, and it was he who really made mistakes. You must know that when Mr. Pei accepted the design commission for this building, it was still 82 years, and now it is 85 years, and when this building is completed, it will take 89 years.

The project built in '89 wants to fit the '82 budget exactly, and a little common sense knows that it's impossible. It is said that the 80s was an era of rapid economic growth for the whole of Hong Kong, and even in an ordinary era, this kind of thing is basically impossible. It's ridiculous that he didn't pay attention to this detail, and he was ready to take such a misinformation as his golden finger.

Li Huayong has no face to say this kind of thing, and he can only laugh and be generous when he says it.

"This, this, of course, is busy with the quotation matter, Lotus, let me tell you, how to quote I have basically calculated, and now there is still the last hurdle, as long as this factor is taken into account, then the entire quotation will be completed." ”

It is often said that after you tell the first lie, you need to use a hundred lies to complete the lie, but in fact, most of the time, pretending and lying are almost the same thing. For example, the current Li Huayong, when he couldn't pretend to be forced, he naturally chose to pretend to be forced to the end.

At this time, does he have anything else to pretend to be forced? Actually, no, in the case of no way to cheat, no way to open a gold finger. The only thing Li Huayong can do is to use his professional knowledge and rich bidding experience in his previous life to compete fairly with multinational companies in this era.

"What's missing?"

"I'm still short of the opponent's information, Lotus, I need your help now, please help me try to collect all the information of the opponents who entered the second round of bidding, only after analyzing their situation, I can be sure to find the most suitable offer." ”

Seeing Li Huayong's sworn appearance, Lin Wei pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, then I'll go and help you collect it now." ”

Lin Wei, who walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, she turned back to Li Huayong and said angrily:

"You are not allowed to call me like this in the future, what are you doing with me? I am not your secretary. ”

Li Huayong was stunned at first, and then his mood became better, and the depression of a day and a night was swept away, and a strong fighting spirit permeated his chest.

"Hahahaha!"

Li Huayong laughed and said to Lin Wei:

"It doesn't matter if you are once or twice once in a while, anyway, being my secretary to Li Huayong once in a while is also a good life experience. ”

Perhaps infected by Li Huayong's laughter, the corners of Lin Wei's mouth were also full of smiles:

"You know the poor mouth. ”

At the same time as Lin Wei left, at the Kai Tak Airport in Xiangjiang, a flight from Tokyo had just arrived.

"Kumagai-kun, please first. ”

"No, no, Mr. Ishida, please go first. ”

The name of "Kumagai-kun" is Jiro Kumagai, and the person in charge of the project of the Bank of China Building bidding for Japan's "Kumagai Group" Co., Ltd. The name "Mr. Ishida" is named Tomoaki Ishida, the project leader of the Bank of China Building's bid for Japan's "Ito Construction". Two or two teams actually arrived on the same plane.

When the two walked out of the airport, they saw Jiro Kumagai staring at a flight from London:

"Kumagai-kun, what are you looking at?"

"I was wondering if our biggest competitor would ever come out of this plane. ”

"Oh? Kumagai-kun thinks this is the biggest opponent this time? ha. ”

"Why, Mr. Ishida, doesn't think so?"

Ishida Tomoaki smiled silently, and he replied to the question:

"I haven't been to Xiangjiang for a while, didn't Kumagai-kun realize that the wind in Xiangjiang this time is blowing in a different direction than last time?"

Kumagai Jiro was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what the other party meant:

"Yes, yes, the wind is really different this time. This time, it was indeed a very interesting game. ”
