"Secretary Gao, there are so many engineering bureaus in our company, what is the current situation?"

"Not very good. ”

Lao Gao looked at Li Huayong, although he didn't understand why Li Huayong suddenly asked such a question, but in front of this somewhat special young man, Lao Gao didn't mind communicating more with Li Huayong.

"Now the situation of many engineering bureaus is not optimistic, Xiao Li, you should also have an understanding of our situation, we have a lot of engineering bureaus, at the beginning they were all based on a large project and formed, there was a project first and then there was an engineering bureau. Therefore, in the past era, we never had to think about the problem of taking over the work, what did everyone do, and where did they do it? These were all arranged by the state, and in the past, we only had to think about how to do a good job. But now it's not going to work, now the state has assigned fewer and fewer tasks, and after the previous projects are completed, almost all engineering bureaus are now facing the problem of not having enough to eat, and in this regard, only our ninth bureau may be in a better situation now. ”

"Our Ninth Bureau has just been formed, one has no background, and the other has no baggage, and there is no comparison with other brother units for the time being. Although the task is not full is a common problem faced by all engineering bureaus, but there is always a better situation among them, Secretary Gao thinks that from the second bureau to our ninth bureau, which one has the most nourishing life?"

Lao Gao smiled: "It's not good to say this, but the more common opinion is that among so many engineering bureaus, it should be the second bureau, the third bureau, and the eighth bureau." ”

"Why are these engineering bureaus in a better situation?"

Seeing that Li Huayong continued to ask, Lao Gao explained to him:

"The second and third bureaus are the old engineering bureaus under the head office, compared with other brother units, it should be said that the strength of these two is obviously stronger, and the heritage is also deeper, plus the regional location of these two engineering bureaus is also good, the second bureau needless to say, the headquarters is in the capital, and the headquarters of the third bureau is in Wuhan, Hubei Province. If you occupy a good position, you can do more work, so the life of these two families is relatively good. As for the Eighth Bureau, the main reason is that the victory is relatively late in the establishment year, with few personnel and light burdens, plus the Eighth Bureau has always adhered to the elite line, the education level and average quality of their employees should be the highest among all the engineering bureaus, so their small life is also very good, I think we should learn from the Eighth Bureau after the development ideas and development direction of the Ninth Bureau, Xiao Li, you say yes?"

Li Huayong said with a smile: "I don't know if I will learn the eighth bureau or not, I am interested in the second and third bureaus now, Secretary Gao, let's talk about these two now, among the two, which one do you think is better?"

"This ......"

Lao Gao pondered for a while: "This is really not good, the two of them should be roughly the same, but in terms of trend, I feel that the momentum of the three games has become more fierce in recent years, and they were originally a little worse than the second game before, but now they should be able to sit on an equal footing." ”

"Then why do you think the third game can develop better?"

Lao Gao came to his senses a little, he did not answer Li Huayong's question head-on, but asked with a smile:

"Then Xiao Li, what do you think is the reason?"

"I think it's better in the third game, so it can develop faster than the second game. ”

Lao Gao was stunned: "The third game is in Wuhan, although it is said that Greater Wuhan is indeed good, but compared with the capital, it is ......"

"Except for Shencheng, of course, there is no city that can be compared with the capital, but Secretary Gao, don't forget, it is precisely because it is the capital, so the competition is also fierce, not to mention the rest, just a Beijing urban construction group, its scale and strength will not be worse than the second game, right? On the other hand, the three bureaus are different, no matter whether the local province is built or the city is built, it is not the same level as the three bureaus. And the third bureau has a very good habit, they can sink in the local area, have a good relationship with the local government, and are willing to do any project, unlike the second bureau like to hold it, always think that they are a national number of troops, and the general small projects are not eye-catching. The big project is tense and intense, and the small project is not eye-catching, which is why the second game is gradually caught up by the third game. ”

Li Huayong said so much in a roundabout way, if Lao Gao didn't understand anymore, it wouldn't be Lao Gao.

Gao Qigong smiled at Li Huayong and said, "Xiao Li, you guy, you are tactfully criticizing my attitude just now." Do you think we should learn from the Third Bureau, just as they took root in Wuhan, we are also firmly rooted in Pengcheng, have a good relationship with the local government, undertake more local municipal projects, and take this as the foundation for the development and growth of our Ninth Bureau?"

"Secretary Gao Jian. Li Huayong patted Lao Gao on the back first, and then said:

"Secretary Gao, you should know that although a project like the Xiangjiang Bank of China Building is the highlight of the whole company, that kind of project cannot be available all the time, and it is good to get one in a year or two. If I were the leader of the Ninth Bureau, I would never consider putting all my treasures on that kind of project. For example, the Lei Bureau is still the manager of the first engineering company, then I will consider setting up a second engineering company, the focus of the two companies is different, one company specializes in undertaking large projects such as Pengcheng World Trade Center and the Bank of China Building, and the second company is specialized in undertaking some local municipal projects, Secretary Gao, don't underestimate these tinkering municipal projects, after the accumulation of a lot, when it comes to contributions, such two companies may not be worse than a company. ”

Gao Qigong was silent. It should be said that Li Huayong's speech is really not artistic enough, and his words are very explicit, and he clearly suggested that Lao Gao strive to become the manager of the second engineering company.

But for such a suggestion, it is impossible for Lao Gao not to be moved.

To say that Lao Gao's current status is actually a bit embarrassing, although his ranking in the system is higher than Lei Jianjun, but his current actual power is actually not as good as Lao Lei's.

Because one of the characteristics of construction enterprises, power actually comes from the project. Only if you master the project can you mobilize a lot of resources. And where is a person's power reflected? Isn't it just how many resources you can mobilize?

For example, Lei Jianjun is now preparing for the Bank of China Building Project Department, because of the existence of this project, because of the needs of this project, and Lao Lei is the first person responsible for this project, then he can justifiably mobilize a lot of manpower, material and even financial resources of the entire Ninth Bureau.

What are these things? These are, of course, what we often call "real power."

In the face of "real power", few people will not be moved, and Lao Gao will naturally be no exception. And although Lao Gao is a political cadre, he is not hypocritical. After he was silent for a while, he smiled at Li Huayong very calmly:

"Xiao Li, you guy, you suggest...... No, no, since you have criticized me, then I have to correct my mistakes immediately, Xiao Li, why don't we go to the city government now?"

"Huh?"

"Go and correct the mistake, Vice Mayor Li just took the initiative to send the project to the door, I am still lukewarm, I am now ready to take the initiative to correct this mistake. ”

Li Huayong really didn't expect Lao Gao to be so popular, he said with a smile:

"But Secretary Gao, I'm here to ....... today."

Lao Gao slapped his thigh: "Yo, I really forgot about this, but you help us with the infrastructure business, is there anything else to talk about this matter? ”

Lao Gao walked to the door and pulled his throat: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, come here." ”

Zhang Yongping walked into Lao Gao's office: "Secretary Gao, what's the matter?"

Lao Gao smiled at Lao Zhang: "What else can I do, of course, Xiao Li helps us with infrastructure construction, there is actually nothing to talk about in this matter, Mr. Cai has also explained, and it will definitely be handed over to Xiao Li to do." Of course, although Xiao Li is not an outsider, there must always be an agreement. Lao Zhang, this matter of drawing up the agreement will be handed over to you now, you are responsible for going to the specific negotiation with Xiao Li, after the agreement is drawn up, when Mr. Cai comes back and everyone passes it, Xiao Li can start working. ”

Li Huayong and Zhang Yongping glanced at each other, and the two said at the same time: "Okay." ”

Lao Gao waved his hand: "Okay, okay, since Xiao Li still wants to negotiate an agreement, then I'll find another person to accompany me to the city government." Go quickly, you two go talk now, strive to talk about starting work as soon as possible, and after you go out, help me call Foreman Li Mingda over to me. ”

Lao Gao will not mention the matter of taking Li Mingda to the city government for the time being, but only talk about Li Huayong and Zhang Yongping to discuss the agreement.

This is not the first time Li Huayong has negotiated a construction agreement with Zhang Yongping. Starting with last year's manually dug piles, this is the third time the two have talked about a construction agreement.

Because everyone usually has a good relationship and has similar experiences, at the beginning, neither of them took this matter seriously, thinking that it would be easy to deal with it soon.

But when the two actually started talking, they found that this agreement was unexpectedly difficult, and the two sat there often staring at each other, and they didn't come up with a reason for it for several days.

"It's hard to do business with acquaintances. ”

After walking out of Zhang Yongping's office again, Li Huayong could only sigh in his heart.

The main reason why this construction agreement is difficult to obtain is that there is no reference. This agreement is different from the past, when last year in Shekou, Huaxia Construction was the general contractor, and Li Huayong was subcontracted under Huaxia Construction, so when the two sides negotiated the construction agreement, everyone can take the main contract as a reference, and it can be said that it is precisely because there is a reference that such an agreement is easy for everyone to negotiate.

But this time the situation is different, this time Huajian Ninth Bureau is regarded as Party A, and Li Huayong is not subcontracted, but the first "Party B" of Zheng'er Bajing.

It is precisely because everyone is familiar with each other, and at the same time, there is no reference. Li Huayong and Zhang Yongping didn't know what to do. Li Huayong's asking price was too high, and he was afraid that Zhang Yongping would be embarrassed. In the same way, if Lao Zhang pushes the price too low, don't say whether Li Huayong agrees or not, Lao Zhang may be a little embarrassed.

So this agreement was so difficult to deliver.

What to do?

This matter was not until Old Man Cai came back from the capital.
