It's the end of May, and the deadline for submitting bids is approaching. Major builders from all over the world who are interested in the Bank of China Tower project have sent representatives to gather in Hong Kong.

On this day, the old man of the "CEFC Group" often came to the place where Li Huayong and others stayed.

Li Huayong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lao Chang, a figure who was so good in later generations, at this time, he actually acted as a liaison between the two companies.

"Lao Chang, you're here to play chess with me, right?"

"Lao Chang" waved his hand: "No, I won't go down with you in the future." ”

Li Huayong said curiously: "Why?"

"Playing chess with you hurts your self-esteem. ”

Although Lao Chang is not good-looking, he is a very good person, he doesn't speak loudly, and he even jokes seem to be slow:

"I've been practicing professionally for a few years, but I can't get much bargain on you as a wild man. If you don't stop it, you can't do this kind of thing that is both humiliating and hurts your self-esteem, and you can't do it in the future. ”

Li Huayong was very happy in his heart, and said in his heart that buddies are wild and return to the wild way, but they are also cultivated in the online Go of later generations, and they are not as good as you in terms of basic skills, but when it comes to their knowledge of Go, it is only higher than you.

"Don't mind, why don't you play, if you don't play chess, then what are you going to do......"

"Of course I'm here to get down to business. ”

The briefcase in Lao Changyangyang's hand interrupted Li Huayong to speak: "Lao Lei, are they here now?"

"Oh?" Hearing that he was here to do business, Li Huayong put away his hippie smile:

"Is that thing coming out?"

Lao Chang obviously knows what "that thing" Li Huayong is talking about:

"That's right, the scores of the first round of preliminary review have come out, among the seven shortlisted bidders, two of us are honored to occupy the first and second places, but it's a pity that it's the last, we are the first, and you are the second. After knowing this result, our company has discussed with the "Yangtze River Infrastructure", and everyone has no hope of winning the bid. What do you mean by dunzi? By the way, soy sauce is made now. Therefore, we have also discussed the matter of quotation and decided not to hurt that brain, and let's take your side as the leader. ”

"Walk in, walk in, say in, say. ”

Li Huayong had long expected that the score of the qualification evaluation would lag behind, so he didn't have any abnormal reaction, but just wanted to know how far behind.

The two came to Lao Lei's room and asked Lao Lei to call Lao Lu again. After a while, the two brothers Lu Yuquan and Lu Yutan arrived, and everyone began to discuss the situation that had just appeared.

"The first place is 9.9 points in the Kumagai group, the second place is 9.8 points for the British TFP company, and the next place is 9.5 points for the American Turner company, which seems to be a subsidiary of the German Hachtieff, right? In fourth place is Ito Construction with 9.1 points. The fifth place is actually a consortium, and the bottom 3 are all consortiums. What is the name of this consortium? UUC in the United Kingdom and Heung Kong Kwok Kee, this Kwok Kee is ....."

Everyone turned their eyes to the two Lu brothers, and the two of them didn't say it explicitly, Lu Yutan gestured, and everyone understood what he meant. This "Guo Kee" is the family business of the wealthy Guo family in Hong Kong, and the Guo family is a well-known "pro-British", so it is not surprising that they form a consortium with a British company.

Forming a consortium is not a problem, what really makes everyone depressed is this score, after reading the information that Lao Chang brought over, Lao Lu complained:

"Isn't this bidding fair and fair, why do I still feel like I'm pulling a bias? The first few are even counted, after all, the strength and performance of the people are there, what kind of thing is this Guo Ji? Why can they score 8.8 points, and we only have 6.8 points, by the way, there are also people who have the Yangtze River Infrastructure, and they actually only give people 6.5 points. Who in Xiangjiang doesn't know that if he engages in infrastructure construction, his Guo family can still be compared with the Li family......"

Lao Lu's whining words also stopped in moderation, and he did not dwell on this place. First of all, since this result has come out, no amount of whining can change the status quo. Secondly, the reason why the score is so low is clear to everyone because of the two Chinese-funded enterprises, and it has little to do with the two Hong Kong-funded enterprises.

In this era, it is normal for Chinese companies to be discriminated against, just like domestic universities, even the top universities in China do not recognize your academic qualifications internationally at all. In the case of universities, it is easier to understand that companies are discriminated against. Therefore, such a score, if you really want to talk about it, it should be "Huaxia Construction General" and "Huaxin Group" that have dragged others back.

If Lao Lu continues to complain, it seems that he has the meaning of complaining about his teammates, so he quickly stops in moderation.

"Manager Lei, this is the case now, such a gap is not small, what do you think we should do next?"

Lao Lu's question was completely courteous.

At present, the score of the preliminary qualification has come out, and the technical standard has been completed, at this juncture, I believe that the technical standard of all companies must have been completed, and no one will make large-scale modifications at this time.

So from today until the deadline for submitting bids, there is only one thing for all companies to do: research and analyze how to quote.

To say that although Lei Jianjun is a good hand at doing engineering, he is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair to participate in international bidding, and he doesn't have much clue about this kind of thing, so after listening to Lao Lu's words, Lao Lei hurriedly said:

"According to domestic instructions, you are responsible for part of the content of our economic bidding in this cooperation, so the matter of this quotation will require more trouble from the two Lu presidents. That's right, Xiao Li,"

Lao Lei suddenly turned to Li Huayong again: "I heard that you ...... a few days ago"

It seems that Li Huayong's pretending to be forced has reached Lei Jianjun's ears, and as Lei Jianjun turned to Li Huayong, Lu Yuquan and Lu Yutan also set their eyes on Li Huayong.

Lu Yuquan said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Li, Manager Lei and I both know that you are a master, and you have been thinking about this for several days, I don't know what ideas you have found? ”

Li Huayong suddenly turned to Lao Chang at this time:

"I don't dare to point out, and the pondering in the past few days is also blind thinking, but seeing Lao Chang today, it makes me think of a method, which should be used as an entry point for our thinking. ”

"What's the idea?"

"The idea of playing chess. ”

"Huh, the idea of playing chess?"

Li Huayong smiled: "That's right, we can only find the best offer now by using the idea of playing chess." This is the only way to go, and it may be the most appropriate. As for the idea of playing chess, you can first ask Lao Chang what kind of chess player is a master. ”

Chang is not a loser who is a person with an inner show, and he quickly understood what Li Huayong meant:

"In the Go world, it is very simple to judge the level of two people, for example, Mr. Lu and me, when the two of us play chess, I basically know what you are thinking, and you basically don't know my moves, which means that my level is higher than yours. ”

"Yes, that's what we need to do now. ”

Li Huayong took over Lao Chang's words, and he said to Lao Lu, Lao Lei and others:

"I believe that at this moment, people from other companies should be discussing the same issue of quotations as we are, right? ”
