Chapter 357: Chicken Soup and Chicken Soup
Lao Cao didn't go in for a long time, about half an hour or so, he held a stack of engineering materials, and walked out of it with a tangled face.
Because they had just gotten a new piece of engineering information from Lao Xiong, several colleagues outside did not disperse at this time, and they wanted to find out more information, so after seeing Lao Cao, everyone surrounded him again.
The first to see Lao Cao was Lao Tan, the second builder of the province: "Yo, Lao Cao is out, huh? What is this in your hand? It seems that there are drawings and contract samples, has your construction contract been signed?"
Lao Xu and Lao Cao of Power Construction are the most familiar, so after he noticed Lao Cao's expression: "Hey, I said Lao Cao, you are pretending to be a little too much, signing a contract is obviously a happy thing, why do you have an expression that you can't pull out......"
"Get out of the way, you're a rotten person who can't pull out good. ”
As the chief economist of the first construction of the province, Lao Cheng also saw what Lao Cao had in his hands, and out of professional habits, he subconsciously wanted to see the specific content in it to understand what the construction contract would be like if Xiangjiang people were the owners. Of course, the contract is also a trade secret, and it is impossible to rob it, so Lao Cheng's eyes rolled, and he pretended to look at the watch:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time to eat now, I think otherwise, a few of our brothers will go to the small restaurant opposite to have a few drinks, first, to congratulate Lao Cao on winning more than 30 million, and secondly, it is rare for our brothers to get together like this, just take this opportunity to chatter. ”
Lao Cheng's proposal was naturally no objection, and after more than 20 minutes, in the small restaurant opposite the Provincial Construction Committee, everyone's topic had been concentrated on the stack of materials in Lao Cao's hands.
"What, this is not the main contract? This is just a sub-project of the industrial park? This sub-item is not even within the scope of the previous bidding? It was added temporarily? Lao Cao said, tell me what the hell is going on. ”
So Lao Cao began to tell a few colleagues about the meeting with Li Huayong just now.
It turned out that Li Huayong had just found Lao Cao, and he really entrusted him with another small project, and this small project was related to Jiang Dajun's rare earth research institute.
At present, Lin's Group and the Rare Earth Research Institute have reached an agreement that the two sides will jointly build a laboratory in Shimen County to carry out rare earth research and development.
However, this agreement was reached after Old Man Yan came, in other words, when the industrial park was first planned, there was no location for this laboratory in the park.
Later, after negotiating with Jiang Dajun and others to select a site, and taking into account confidentiality, everyone decided to build this laboratory outside the park, that is, between Yangjiazhai and Lijiaao, near the marble mine.
And the project that Li Huayong entrusted to Lao Cao just now was to ask him to put up the shelves of this laboratory first. At present, the amount of work in this laboratory is not large, and the project cost is about 800,000 yuan.
"Oh, that's the case, let me see, by the way, Lao Cao, can you show me this thing......"
Lao Cao handed the information to a few colleagues, of course he knew that these colleagues in front of him did not care about this kind of small project of hundreds of thousands, but wanted to learn more about the habits of "Xiangjiang people" doing projects by watching the contract.
"Well, in addition to being a little more rigorous, the whole contract text is also a little cumbersome, and the whole contract is also unremarkable, and there is nothing special about it compared with the commonly used contracts in the mainland. ”
The first thing we look at is the text clause of the contract, and after everyone has read all the clauses, especially after reading the special clauses of this contract, several veterans in the industry have given such an evaluation.
In the end, this contract was transferred to Lao Cheng, and he watched it while muttering:
“... After entering the factory, 100,000 advance payment, the construction period is 60 calendar days, after the completion of the project through the initial acceptance, 95% of the project payment will be paid off at one time within a week, and 5% will be reserved as the warranty money.... Yo Lao Cao, if you only look at this clause, the Xiangjiang people pay for it is quite refreshing, but this construction period.... Will you be a little tight in 2 months.... But it's nothing.,Just such a little amount of work.,2 months to hurry up.... There's also a bill of quantities here, and for such a small project, they even have a bill of quantities, so I'll take a look at ......."
The so-called "bill of quantities" is actually the specific details of the project cost, what is the unit price of all the sub-items in the whole project, and what is the total price?
As an economist, Lao Cheng looked at it, and he gradually saw the problem with this bill of quantities, and at the same time, he also knew why Lao Cao had an expression of not being able to before.
"Yo, this list seems to be missing....... Hey. ”
Seeing that Lao Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, Director Xu Da of the power construction company snatched the list:
“.... Well, although these unit prices are tight, they are not too outrageous, and now the projects in the province are not basically this unit price......"
"The unit price is no problem, but there seems to be a defect in this list, Lao Cao, if you do it at this price, you will lose if this project is not good." ”
"Missing? I don't think so. ”
Lao Cheng glanced at Director Xu: "Our Director Xu shouldn't have been to the scene, right?"
"I haven't been there, I didn't expect this project from the beginning, so why should I go?
Lao Xu nodded: "When I first received the invitation to bid, our company sent me to go once, why do I know that Director Xu has not been there, because people who have not been to the scene do not know that there is this shortcoming." ”
"Oh?"
Chief Economist Xu explained this deficiency in one sentence:
"This lab is in a big mountain, and it's so mountainous that there is no road, so it's a big trouble to transfer materials at that time. ”
Without too many words, several old birds in the industry understood as soon as they heard this that the lack of Lao Xu was the material transfer freight, or that this is a necessary construction measure fee.
In the project cost, the cost of construction measures is very difficult to grasp, and even to measure the level of a project cost engineer, the main thing is to see his grasp of the cost of construction measures.
Take this laboratory as an example, if this laboratory is located in the park, then the project cost of 800,000 yuan is no problem, even if it can't make a lot of money, but it is definitely no problem to ensure that it does not lose money.
However, it is not the same between Yangjiazhai and Lijiaao, although this project is small, but although the sparrow is small, all the equipment and materials that must be used in civil construction are the same.
In this way, the transfer of these equipment materials is a large expense, and it is conservatively estimated that it will also cost tens of thousands.
If it is a large project of tens of millions of dollars, of course these tens of thousands of dollars do not matter. However, you must know that the total cost of this project is only 800,000 yuan, and tens of thousands of yuan is several points. Could it be that Lao Cao is ready to lose money when he enters the market to do his first project?
It doesn't matter how these people chat, just when they were chatting, Li Huayong was also chatting now, and it was Lao Lu and Xia Minghuan of Huajian Ninth Bureau who were chatting with him.
And the content of their chat is also the construction contract of this laboratory.
"Mr. Xia, after I am busy here, I will go to Guangdong Province immediately, please remember that the general subcontracting agreement between you and this smelting company is best signed after they build this laboratory. ”
Xia Minghuan smiled at the contract: "I know Xiao Li, you have always been very shrewd, but I didn't expect that you are still an old picker, let's say, you deliberately omitted other people's construction measures, what is your intention? Do you want to test others?"
Li Huayong smiled: "Mr. Xia is right, this can be regarded as a test, let's take a look now... What the hell are they going to do in these two months......"
The reason why Li Huayong arranged it this way was because he remembered a "chicken soup" story that was widely circulated in the industry in his previous life:
There was once a small contract foreman, and the first project he undertook was a small project with a cost of only hundreds of thousands, and his project was subcontracted through layers of subcontracting, so when it came to him, the price of this project was already very low.
To put it simply, when the project arrives in his hands, no matter what he does, the small project of less than 500,000 yuan will lose at least more than 50,000 yuan.
What would the little bag foreman do?
In the end, the small package foreman knew that he was going to lose money, but he increased his investment, and at the cost of 80,000 yuan, in exchange for the completion of the project on time, quality and quantity.
After the project was finally completed, the small package foreman became famous, and his work began to flow continuously. And in the end, this story has also become a famous chicken soup story in the construction industry.
"Hey Lao Cao, don't let me down....."
Thinking of this chicken soup story, Li Huayong muttered to himself.
