Chapter 123 Learning in the Tender
In the next period of time, Li Huayong put all his energy on the "technical standard" of the Bank of China Building project.
Although the weight of the "technical standard" at the time of bidding cannot be compared with the "economic standard", it is a very important part after all. Especially in this project, when it is almost certain that the score of the preliminary qualification will be behind, then the 30% of the "technical standard" is particularly important.
If this part can't be outstanding, and it can't catch up with or close some scores, Li Huayong, who has participated in many international competitions in his previous life, knows in his heart that in a game of this level, it is actually very difficult to score 3 to 5 points more than others in the "business standard".
Just like treating a bid as an exam, when it comes to the second round, those sitting in the exam room are all the world's top "top students". Although "Xueba" may also be "abnormal" during the exam, you can imagine that one or two "abnormal" are still possible, and you can still expect all "Xueba" to be abnormal at the same time.
It is based on this judgment that the importance of "technical standards" is highlighted, especially when compiling the bidding document this time, Li Huayong finally had the opportunity to use a "golden finger", which made Li Huayong faintly excited, which could not be ignored by him.
Not only Li Huayong, but also the entire "Huaxia Construction Association" attaches great importance to the preparation of this bid.
Of course, the starting point of the "Huaxia Construction Association" attaches importance to the preparation of this bid is different from that of Li Huayong.
If Li Huayong had the idea of bidding for the Bank of China Building, he was rushing to win the bid. After various trade-offs and judgments, he thought that the project still had a good chance of winning the bid, so he tried every means to promote the project.
It can be said that if Li Huayong himself could not see any hope before, he would not have been so exhausted in all directions before.
However, the idea of "Huaxia General Construction" is different from that of Li Huayong. Although the "Huaxia Construction General Manager" is also eager to win the bid, for example, Lao Lei, his "First Engineering Company of Huajian Ninth Bureau" is still waiting for the rice to be cooked. But they don't have the confidence that Li Huayong has.
From Lei Jianjun to Old Man Cai, or including other people in China, they actually don't have much hope for winning the bid.
However, it can be said that precisely because there is not much hope for the final winning bid, this attaches great importance to the preparation of this technical standard.
The reason for this is simple: if you don't have confidence in the final result, you can only pay attention to the process of this bidding event.
You must know that for the current domestic construction enterprises, even if it is a large central enterprise like "Huaxia Construction General", there is not much experience in writing bids----- the country is still based on a planned economy, and most of the construction enterprises are assigned by the state. Since you are assigned, of course, you don't need to write any tenders. This is the case for domestic projects, not to mention overseas projects.
This bidding for the Bank of China Building, even for the "Huaxia Construction General", is the first time that the big girl has been on the sedan chair, which is why they don't pay attention to it. not only assigned Li Er, a top student from a famous university, to preside over the entire bidding document preparation, but also transferred Yan Dumin and Tu Di, two elite generals, and even Lei Jianjun didn't do anything else now, just soaked with everyone.
To be honest, before the official start of the work, Li Huayong was still a little ambitious, how to say in his previous life was that he had been engaged in technical work and bidding work for so many years, especially in the years when he was the chief economist of the branch, the most exaggerated time, he had done more than ten bids a month. Therefore, he felt that this time he could also educate Li Erzi and Yan Dumin Tu Tu as rookies.
But when the work was officially launched, Li Huayong was dumbfounded. As the saying goes, if you can't pretend to be forced, you will be taught to be a man first.
There is no other reason than to blame the office conditions in this era for being too backward. When Li Huayong joined the work in his previous life, it was the era when computers were rapidly popularized in China, and the so-called "office automation" was no longer a trendy term. In those days, it was not too easy to catch up with a technical standard.
When you are ready to bid for a bid, no matter what type of project the project is, as long as the project is not too different, call up the relevant information of the same type within the company, "copy", "paste", change the name, rewrite the introduction and overview, and then replace some parameters and drawings, and a fully qualified technical standard can be concocted.
Therefore, when Li Huayong was the "general manager", he actually rarely bothered with the compilation of technical targets. First of all, the technical standard is not as important as the economic standard, and as the chief economist, he will always be more concerned about the quotation issue.
Secondly, this part of the stuff is more "routine". A technical standard is actually a "construction organization design", and the so-called "construction organization design", in the most popular words: that is, "if I hand over this project to you, how are you going to implement it?". Therefore, writing a technical standard is actually equivalent to writing an "expository essay".
And everyone knows such a thing as "expository text", which is a bit similar to the ancient eight-strand text. Unless you have something unique, it's hard to write this kind of thing. And is there so much "uniqueness" about construction projects? Not much, in fact.
Because the construction industry has a characteristic, that is, the promotion of new technologies and new materials is very fast, and the industry is also keen to promote various new materials and new technologies. This may also be what sets the construction industry apart from other industries. In other industries, there may still be issues of patents and technical protection, but in the construction industry, of course, there are patents, but the so-called "technical protection" is basically absent. Any construction company invents or researches a new technology, and everyone rarely hides it, but is afraid that others will not know.
The reason for this is simple, because any construction technology is a so-called "practical technology". For example, if you have a new technology and you actively promote it, and a certain engineering project may need to use this new technology, then when you go to the bidding, for you, the "original" and other "imitators", it is not said that you will definitely win the bid, but at least you have a bonus when bidding. On the other hand, if you have been hiding it, then the owner may ask: Is your new technology reliable?
So strictly speaking, unless you are "first", there really is not so much "uniqueness" about construction projects. This is also the reason why it is difficult to excel when writing technical standards.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the construction industry that in later generations, peers basically do not pay much attention to technical standards, because it is difficult to open the gap in this part. In his previous life, in addition to bidding in his own company, Li Huayong occasionally accepted invitations to participate in the evaluation of certain projects.
So a large stack of thick construction organization design, Li Huayong basically rarely read it carefully, a technical mark in hand, Li Huayong and most of his peers are also based on impression:
Well, this company's qualifications and performance are good, and its reputation in the industry is also good, so there is nothing to say, this technical standard should be good, give him a good score first.
This company doesn't seem to be bad, and it seems that this one has to be given a good score.....
After such a big circle slipped down, Li Huayong finally found that he gave each company a similar technical score. Not only him, but most of his peers are actually doing the same. In this way, the technical bid loses its relative significance in the bid evaluation, which is also the reason why most bids are mainly determined by the economic bid.
And the only thing that can make the eyes of those well-informed peers shine is the emergence of those new technologies and new construction methods.
I haven't seen this construction method described in this tender before, and this one needs to be taken a good look at, and it must be taken seriously......
The "invertebral method" prepared by Li Huayong is such a new construction method in this era. This is Li Huayong's golden finger, and it is also the magic weapon he relies on to win this bid.
The time came to the end of April 85, and after more than 10 days of hard work by Li Erzi and others, a technical standard of the Bank of China Building was finally completed in their hands. Don't think that they are inefficient, in fact, after seeing this progress, Li Huayong admires it very much.
To know a technical standard, that is a thick book, and it is the kind of "illustrated", in this without any architectural drawing software, no CAD aided design, and even without a computer, all the drawings are drawn by hand, all the text is handwritten, it is not easy to achieve this level.
Among them, Li Huayong also saw the basic quality of the older generation of engineers in our country, such as Yan Dumin, who doesn't look at him usually inconspicuous, but this time he can see his ability to write the bid, so far, all the drawings in the bid are basically drawn by him. And the drawings he drew were so beautiful, to be honest, Li Huayong only had a sense of shame.
Of course, Li Huayong's role is irreplaceable, after all, he is the one who has the "golden finger". And the reason why the entire bid is only half completed is because Li Huayong's golden finger has not yet been fulfilled.
In other words: the regular part of the entire tender has been completed, and there is now a lack of a professional construction plan for the "invertebral method".
On the last day of April, Li Er was stunned and found Li Huayong:
"Dunzi, the method you explained to me is indeed good, but this is not enough, we must also seek theoretical support for it. ”
Li Huayong nodded: "This job must be done." ”
The "invertebral method" is a construction method that has not yet appeared in this era, and it involves a very high level of knowledge such as "building wind resistance", so it is necessary to seek a theoretical basis for it.
The so-called seeking theoretical basis means that you must prove that your construction plan is feasible through rigorous scientific demonstration, otherwise how dare others believe you? How dare others adopt this plan in specific construction?
And such a thing as "seeking theoretical basis" is beyond the scope of Li Huayong's ability. Don't say he really doesn't know, even if he knows a little bit of fur, it's not easy to show off as a migrant worker.
"If you want to find a theoretical basis, the best way is of course to go back to the universities and colleges in your country to find them, Dunzi, which university do you think we should look for?"
Li Huayong and Li Er were stunned and joked:
"Aren't you from a prestigious university, but your school is not good?"
Li Er shook his head in a daze: "Although the civil engineering of our school is strong, it is mainly strong in architecture, and it is almost interesting in terms of structure. Speaking of structure, I guess we need to go to Shencheng, right?"
Li Huayong nodded, of course he knew which school Li Er was talking about, of course this university was:
Jitong University.
