Chapter Ninety-Three: Inside Information
Seeing Tang Xueqian's car driving up the avenue from the glass window, Zhang Ke helped the waiter pack the leftovers on the table, Wu Tianbao pushed the door in after a while, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Hongbo: "You are Teacher Xu from the chess academy in front, right?" "I don't know who in the hotel knows Xu Hongbo, after all, Xu Hongbo is very famous in Shatin.
Zhang Ke waved his hand to signal not to smoke, and Wu Tianbao hesitated to take the cigarette back: "Sitting opposite Tang Xueqian is Zhang Zhixing, secretary general of the municipal government?" Turning his head, he instructed the waiter in the waiter's uniform, "Go and make a good pot of tea for Teacher Xu and this little brother." ”
"Mayor Tang is still too greasy after eating," Zhang Ke looked at Wu Tianbao's annoyed look playfully, "Why didn't you want to make a pot of good tea and send it over?" ”
"I feel a little weak in front of Mayor Tang," Wu Tianbao said with a wry smile, "Only then did I know that I regretted it, it is better to do something wrong than to do nothing at all, little brother, I am very familiar with Mayor Tang?" ”
"I'm more familiar with the guy sitting next to me!" Zhang Ke said with a smile. Xu Hongbo didn't speak, watching Zhang Ke work blindly, as long as he didn't say anything, others really couldn't see him as a high school student.
"Then you must know the CEO of Hongyuan Company?" Wu Tianbao showed a distressed expression at this time, "I heard that Mayor Tang came to my broken restaurant to eat, I was really panicked, I and Zhang Zhifei are buddies, at least I can talk to Zhang Zhixing, the secretary general of the municipal government." The elder brother has a short understanding and has never seen a big person, so the little brother should not laugh. Since everyone knows each other, invite Hongyuan's boss to dinner another day, can the little brother leave a contact number for me, and then invite the little brother to my brother's place to get together. ”
Wu Tianbao was stage frightened in front of Tang Xueqian, and at this time he also knew how to remedy, Zhang Ke said: "If you really have a buddy with Hongyuan's boss, I really can't take advantage of you......"
"You're talking nonsense to you, aren't you?" Wu Tianbao misunderstood Zhang Ke's meaning, took out his mobile phone angrily, and quickly dialed out a number, "Mr. Zhang, where to make a fortune, tell you something, don't believe it, Mayor Tang and Secretary General Zhang just invited guests to dinner at my place, and they just ......left."
Zhang Ke looked at the Ericsson GH388 in Wu Tianbao's hand, and felt a sense of accomplishment, but even if he completely withdrew from Haitai Trade from yesterday, these things would have nothing to do with him after that. Thinking of the behavior of Chint Group, I feel uncomfortable, and this festival will have to be brought back sooner or later.
The expression on Wu Tianbao's face was very rich when he called, and his voice was very loud: "What, you don't believe it, why can't Mayor Tang invite guests to dinner here, what's the shame." The guest invited by Mayor Tang is still there, and they still say that they are very familiar with you, why don't you talk to him on the phone? ”
Zhang Ke pointed to his nose and asked Wu Tianbao if he really let him answer the phone, seeing that he was misunderstood and angry, he took the phone with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
In the winter of '94, the signal of the digital communication network was still a little distorted, and the mobile phone would emit a sizzling sound, so don't pinch your throat, and change the tone of your speech, so that people can't hear it. Zhang Zhixing asked on the other end of the phone: "Who are you, it won't be Wu Fatzi who came to Meng me, right?" ”
"If you are blind, I want you to be honest enough." Zhang Ke laughed, "My father and I just had dinner at the Jianye Hotel, but I didn't expect Manager Wu to be your friend." ”
"Why did you go to eat in that place? Yes, I'm nearby, you wait a minute, I'll be right over. ”
Zhang Ke returned the phone to Wu Tianbao and said, "Zhang Zhifei is my uncle, so I don't dare to take advantage of you......"
"That, that ......," Wu Tianbao stammered, "You are Zhang Zhifei's nephew, the son of Secretary General Zhang?" ”
Zhang Ke turned his head to Xu Hongbo and said, "Teacher Xu, do you want to ask Manager Wu to send a car to take you back?" I'm going to wait here for my uncle. ”
"I'm not far from here, I'll walk back."
Zhang Ke sent Xu Hongbo out of the hotel and returned to Wu Tianbao's office to wait for his uncle to come over.
"Your uncle and Mayor Tang also know each other, and listen to your uncle blow all day long. I was a classmate with your uncle when I was in junior high school, I am also a member of Dongshe, Dongshe is too small, I have advised your uncle to move the company to the city, I have been in the city for seven or eight years, he has not moved, I didn't expect him to step into the city, it will be developed, the CEO of Hongyuan Industry, not my broken hotel can compare. ”
In Sha Tin, a high-standard hotel can't be done for the time being, and no one will run here for dinner. However, Wu Tianbao can establish a foothold in this area to open a hotel, and dealing with this piece of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes should be indispensable.
Seeing a Mitsubishi parked in front of the hotel through the glass window, Uncle Zhang Zhifei came out and knocked on the glass window to remind him.
"Why are you here to eat?" Zhang Zhifei walked into Wu Tianbao's office and asked with a smile, "Who does Mayor Tang invite to dinner?" ”
"Invite Xu Hongbo from the Chess Academy to dinner, it's close here, I didn't think that Manager Wu and Uncle were friends, otherwise I would have invited Manager Wu to drink together."
Zhang Zhifei also knew that it was not appropriate to ask more, so he took Wu Tianbao's cigarette and said, "This is the little nephew I mentioned to you, who must be better than me when he grows up," turned his head and asked Zhang Ke again, "Listen to your father, you are not ideal in this exam?" ”
"Today, the school held a parent-teacher meeting, my dad went, Du Xiaoshan also went, Tang Xueqian also went, gave enough face to Yizhong, and I also exposed it in public, making everyone lose face, so I hid here to eat." Zhang Ke pouted and said with a smile.
"Is it so easy to get by?" Zhang Zhifei laughed, "Is there any inside information that you don't tell your uncle, you can't let your uncle hurt you in vain?" ”
"I can't lie to anyone," Zhang Ke saw that the relationship between Uncle Wu Tianbao and Wu Tianbao was really good, so he was more casual, and said with a smile, "Seeing you, I think of one thing, Hongyuan Company is not capable of doing the dredging project of the Dredging River, right?" ”
"Why haven't I heard about this?" Zhang Zhifei asked suspiciously, "Didn't the plan made by the Water Conservancy Bureau the year before last be vetoed, and I didn't hear anyone say that this stubble would be mentioned again." ”
"By the time you hear about it, it's too late. Only give you a month or two to prepare, and you won't even be eligible to bid, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. ”
"Did Mayor Tang say it, or did your dad say it?" The dredging project of the dredging of the port river is definitely a big project, and it is not allowed to be nervous.
"Not yet, the topic is really going to be put on Tang Xueqian's table, several big engineering companies in the city almost know the news, what advantage do you have? If you want to believe me, start preparing now, didn't you say that the Water Conservancy Bureau made a plan the year before last? You just follow that plan. ”
"Lao Zhang, what your nephew said is really like it, the Shugang River should also be rectified, every day smells of the smell of coaxing, people have to live a few years less." Wu Tianbao complained disapprovingly, didn't take Zhang Ke's words seriously, looked up and saw Zhang Zhifei frowning, thinking with a solemn expression, and thinking: Zhang Zhifei values his nephew's words very much.
"It is difficult to prepare in advance for such a large project," Zhang Zhifei said with a frown, still afraid that Zhang Ke would not understand, and explained, "Like the dredging project of the entire Shugang River, if it is not split and subcontracted, there is no engineering company in Haizhou City that has the ability to undertake the next ......."
"Is it forbidden to subcontract the main project?" Zhang Ke said with a smile, "Tang Xueqian will not let the second-class dealers take over the project." ”
"That can only be after the project contract is determined, the engineering company will advance funds to purchase a sufficient amount of engineering equipment, of course, in terms of project costs, the city will be relaxed." Zhang Zhifei frowned and said, "If you are not completely sure, who will advance tens of millions of funds to purchase engineering equipment first......
Zhang Zhifei knew that Zhang Ke would not be untargeted, Haiyu Company contracted Xinguang Paper Mill, he also heard about it, and said: "Eliminating the pollution sources along the Shugang River is a prerequisite for the dredging project, and the plan of the Water Conservancy Bureau the year before last was shelved because of this problem, and the citizens complained about the problem of the Shugang River. Zhang Zhifei's eyes lit up, "The more I think about it, the more likely it is for you to say this; It's just that Hongyuan has just been established for less than half a year, and compared with several other engineering companies, its strength is a little worse. ”
Zhang Ke looked up at Wu Tianbao next to him and said: "Manager Wu is very good at catering, I want to ask Wu Tianbao, who has just entered the catering industry, is it appropriate to provide his own venue to operate catering, or is it appropriate to rent a place to operate catering......
"At the beginning, of course, it is suitable to rent a place, and of course, if you have strong funds, it is also appropriate to choose a suitable location to build a hotel."
Zhang Ke smiled: "Choosing a place to build a hotel is actually a matter of commercial real estate investment, which has little to do with the catering industry. The house is a necessary resource for running a restaurant business. Just like dredging a river, engineering equipment is a necessary resource, but who dictates that these resources must be provided by themselves? ”
"You mean......" Zhang Zhifei asked Zhang Ke to talk about the key point, and he almost could get through, but he was stuck there.
"Splitting and subcontracting the project to a number of small companies, this is a second-class dealer, although there are many people in Haizhou City who do this, but you can't do it, uncle, Tang Xueqian and my father are both face-saving people, and they won't agree with you doing this," Zhang Ke smiled, "Think about it from another angle, can you borrow the resources of many small companies under the name of Hongyuan, and solve the problem differently?" ”
"How do I borrow it?" Zhang Zhifei had already thought of the key point, but the inertia of thinking made him ask more.
"You don't know how to attach?" Zhang Ke patted his head, "Take the initiative to ask those companies to be affiliated with the name of Hongyuan, at least to hang these companies' excavators, dump trucks and other large engineering equipment under the name of your company, your company can also provide some repair, maintenance, training and other small benefits, as much as possible to help them reduce some costs, and do a good job in management, as long as this step is done, Haizhou City will not be able to take over the basic project." Don't tell my dad that I had the idea,"
Zhang Zhifei patted his head fiercely: "You have a good idea, I think about meeting you recently, it seems that my hunch is quite accurate." He turned his head to Wu Tianbao and said, "Look, what is this nephew's idea, I didn't brag nonsense with you, right?" ”
No matter what period it is, people realize that government projects are a piece of money, and it doesn't matter if it matters, they all focus on it. Wu Tianbao runs a hotel, and he is no stranger to this area. Wu Tianbao doesn't think there's anything shameful about being a second-class dealer, how much does he think that Zhang Ke's idea is a bit redundant, with Tang Xueqian behind his back, do things still need to be so shrunk? However, Zhang Ke is indeed different from ordinary young people, if you don't say it, you can't tell how old he is, at least he looks much older than his own kid.
"It's much better than my kid, that bastard knows to reach out to me for money all day long......" Wu Tianbao looked at Zhang Ke, with a smile on his face, and said, "My hotel is not hot, help my uncle think of ideas, and invite classmates to dinner or something in the future, bring them here, and uncle will still collect your money?" ”
Wu Tianbao is quite good at pulling relationships, but he is not rare at all, Zhang Ke smiled and said: "It's okay to come up with some ideas, if you invite someone to dinner, I'm still used to going to Xicheng Hotel." ”
As soon as Zhang Ke said this, Wu Tianbao's old face suddenly turned red like a pig's liver, and he laughed at himself in embarrassment: "Secretary General Zhang's son, naturally he doesn't look down on this small shop, if it weren't for me being classmates with your uncle, he would rarely deign to come back." ”
Although Wu Tianbao was polite, Zhang Ke really wanted to help him come up with ideas, and said: "Catering industry, I also know some, outside of reputation, it is the location, Jianye Hotel's reputation is good, but the location is not good, the surrounding is old and dilapidated, who invites guests to eat here and brings it here?" With Manager Wu's means, if he could find a piece of land at the front door, he would have made a fortune a long time ago. ”
Zhang Ke said this, Wu Tianbao felt better in his heart, otherwise who could stand the contempt of a child, shook and said: "Those who can squeeze into the front door to do the catering business can be regarded as mixed up in Haizhou, and the piece of land at the front door, especially the one on Sifeng Road, does not leave a place for your uncle." ”
"How about the place where you turn east from Sifeng Bridge?"
"Is there a place there?" Wu Tianbao asked suspiciously, "Isn't that place the old factory of Xinguang Paper Mill?" ”
"Since Manager Wu begged me to come up with an idea, then I must satisfy Manager Wu," Zhang Ke stood up and said, "Uncle, it's okay in the afternoon, let's go to the Sifeng Bridge to have a look......"
Wu Tianbao was dumbfounded, and asked Zhang Ke to help come up with ideas, more polite words, I don't know if he can't hear the good words, or if he is pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he can't say it at this time. Not to mention Zhang Zhifei's relationship, Wu Tianbao didn't dare to offend the son of the secretary general of the municipal government in words. Since Zhang Zhifei got up and went out, Wu Tianbao picked up his briefcase and went out with him.
