Until now, it seems that there are still 7 units competing on the surface, as if anyone can win the bid. But in fact, this is not the case, and at the moment when the technical standard score is typed, two companies are already out. One of these two is Japan's "Ito Construction", and the other is a consortium of "CEFC Group" and "Yangtze River Infrastructure".

The reason for this is very simple, for example, a consortium formed by "CEFC Group" and "Yangtze River Infrastructure", because everyone reached a tacit understanding before the bidding, and reached a "price alliance" when quoting. This "price alliance" does not mean that the exact same offer is used, and if it does, it will be bad, because if you do, it will be blatant cheating, and you will be disqualified from bidding directly.

It's not enough to be exactly the same, but it's still easy to change the numbers a little bit to make the two economic bids look completely different, but the total price quoted in the end is basically the same.

The total quotation of the two sides is basically the same, which means that the score of the economic standard will be similar for both sides in the future. The economic standard score is about the same, and if you want to distinguish between the high and the low, you can only compare in other aspects. For this reason, it can now be said that the joint formation of "CEFC Group" and "Yangtze River Infrastructure" is now out.

Because they don't have to compare with other units, if they only compare with the "Huatian Consortium", the final total score of the "Huachang Consortium" will definitely be worse. Such rules of the game, since you can't get the first, it means that you have been eliminated.

Similar to the situation of the "Huachang Consortium", in fact, there is also "Ito Construction". Li Huayong is very sure that this is the case, because this is the consistent practice of the Japanese, and similar to this trick, the Japanese themselves were the first to play in the international construction market.

Not to mention, it is precisely because he already knows that there is no hope, Li Huayong observed that among the representatives of the seven companies present today, it was the "Huachang Consortium" and "Ito Construction" who seemed the most calm.

In addition to Li Dagongzi and Lao Chang, Li Huayong also observed the Japanese people at the scene, although he couldn't tell whether these Japanese belonged to the "Kumagai Group" or Ito Construction employees. But from their demeanor and expressions, Li Huayong can still roughly see some clues.

Although they are also talking and laughing, most of the people who laugh a little reluctantly, laugh a little absent-mindedly, and have a little anxiety in their laughter are Kumagai gumi people, and those who really laugh calmly and calmly are probably the employees of Ito Construction.

Li Huayong and other 3 people came to Lu Yuquan's side, and Lao Lu joked:

"Li Sheng was asking us about the technical standard just now, I couldn't resist it at all, it just so happened that you two experts came over, you come to communicate with him. ”

Lao Lu introduced Li Huayong to Li Dagongzi again: "Lotus, I don't think I need to introduce it, right? This is Li Gong from the mainland, and the "invertebral method" that you just admired was designed by this gentleman and Lotus together. ”

"Hello hello ......"

Li Huayong had a strange feeling, he didn't think that it would be the first time to deal with Li Chaoren's eldest son, and it would be everyone to discuss the building structure together.

In his previous life, Li Huayong didn't have any impression of the person in front of him, and when it came to gossip news, this one was definitely not as much as his younger brother. I have the impression that this man has always been honestly following his father to do things, there is no news, and he doesn't seem to have many opinions. Usually if you want to fully understand his type of "rich second generation", most of them will have to wait until he fully inherits the family business. It's just that Li Chaoren has always been in a posture of being a long-lived hundred-year-old, and he was still alive and kicking when Li Huayong crossed over.

However, after chatting a few more words, Li Huayong found that there was no obstacle to communication in this regard. After inquiring, I found out that this person was really a colleague, he studied architecture and structure in college, and even obtained a master's degree from Stanford University in the United States, and just returned to Hong Kong this year. And judging from his speech and demeanor, his master's degree should also be genuine, at least what he says and asks questions is very professional and level.

"The second generation of scholars?"

Li Huayong made such a conclusion to the other party in his heart, and communicated with the other party with such an attitude, and everyone talked happily for a while.

This "very happy conversation" is naturally very normal, anyway, everyone is actually an ally in this bid. The "Huatian Consortium" wants to win the bid, and the economic bid of the "Huachang Consortium" is actually very important, and it is precisely because of such an ally that Li Huayong has the confidence to confront the Japanese company in this offer. Therefore, for the person in front of him, Li Huayong communicated with the other party with a polite and grateful attitude.

As for Mr. Li's side, not to mention, even though he knew that he could not win the bid, Li Chaoren still sent him over, and the intention of this could not be more obvious, one is to let him come to practice, and the other is to let him make friends.

And as a young person who has just stepped into the workplace, even if this person has a prominent background and an extraordinary background, even if this person is still a top student, what kind of communication method is most appropriate? Of course, it is the most suitable communication where everyone has a common language. Therefore, everyone's "talking and having fun" is simply normal.

This "talk" everyone "talked" for a long time, the noon work meal everyone was eaten together, until more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the "Jardine Matheson Surveyor's Line" error check work has ended, is about to enter the "vote" stage, Li Dagongzi because this time as a representative of the "Huachang Consortium", he and everyone politely said goodbye.

The so-called "singing ticket" is a new trick played by the "Jardine Matheson Surveyor Tour". The specific method is to read out the verified quotation of each unit in public before the formal opening of the bid, so that the representative of the bidder and the representative of the supervisory party (Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption) can confirm that it is correct at the same time. This is meant to show fairness and transparency, and to help inform the public about the process, given the city's focus on the bidding.

And at this time, Li Huayong was also a little nervous, because once the vote was over, which unit could win the bid could be quickly calculated.

Nearly 2 months of hard work and hard work will soon come to an end.

"Let's go, let's find a place to listen, Lotus wait, you can help me count a few times." ”

Seeing Li Huayong's demeanor, Lin Wei threw a roll of his eyes: "I thought you would never be nervous." ”

The work of "singing tickets" is not very slow, but after all, each time the ticket is called, it has to be confirmed by several companies, and each ticket has to be sung several times in multiple languages, so even if it is only 7 numbers, it takes more than half an hour.

This more than half an hour was definitely an ordeal for Li Huayong.

After the 7 numbers were announced, almost all the eyes of the entire venue were on Old Man Cai and Jiro Kumagai who were sitting in front.

The "Huatian Consortium" quoted $223 million, and the "Kumagai Group" quoted $219 million, and these two should be the closest to the bottom of the bid, and if nothing else, the winning bidder should be produced between the two.

So which one will it be?

Of course, Li Huayong didn't have time to look ahead, his eyes were staring nervously at the calculator in his hand, and his hand was trembling a little when he pressed the calculator.

Li Huayong's nervousness also infected the two people around him, Lin Wei got closer, her face was almost close to Li Huayong's, and she was also staring at the calculator:

"How's that?

Li Huayong's hand stopped, and he closed his eyes.

"Come on, Ah Yong, what are the results you calculated?"

"The difference between the total points of the two sides is 0.5. ”

"Ahh But it's okay Ah Yong......"

When Lin Wei was still trying to comfort Li Huayong, Li Huayong suddenly opened his eyes and smiled:

"Who said we lost? My calculations showed that our total score would be about 0.5 points higher than that of the Kumagai group! I just closed my eyes, just to review whether I had made a mistake and whether there were any terms in the tender documents that I had missed. ”

Lin Wei reached over and pinched Li Huayong fiercely:

"I told you to scare me, I told you to scare me. ”

Li Huayong gasped, but there was no way, in front of the public, there was no room for resistance, and Lin Kai next to him snickered secretly.

"Do you remember anything missing?"

Li Huayong smiled bitterly: "I was about to remember, but I was pinched by you and forgot about it." ”

"You. ”

When Lin Wei's hand reached over again, Li Huayong caught her:

"Okay, don't make a fuss, since you can't remember, then let's wait for the announcement. ”

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a tense atmosphere in the air throughout the hall. Everyone's nervousness is completely understandable, even a person like Li Huayong with a calculator is not yet fully sure who can win the bid at this time, let alone others.

Li Huayong sat in his seat and waited quietly.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, two people walked out of the "work area" and came to the front of the "observation area". One of these two looks like an employee of the "Jardine Matheson Surveyor", and the other looks like the owner of the Bank of China. After the two of them humbled each other, it was finally the person who "Jardine Matheson Surveyor" picked up the microphone:

"I am honored to announce that the consortium ...... of "Huaxia Construction General" and "Xiangjiang Tianxia Real Estate" have been awarded the construction right of Bank of China Building in Hong Kong.

Li Huayong's head "boomed", and a kind of joy and happiness of success permeated the whole body and mind.

Lin Wei's face sneaked over, and she smiled like a flower:

"You're hurting me. ”

At this time, Li Huayong was not only happy, but his face also turned slightly red, because he suddenly found that until this time, he was still holding Lin Wei's hand tightly.
