The Southern Provincial Architectural Design Institute in Hainan Province has been in an absolute leading position in the construction of major projects. As long as people who have some understanding of architectural design, they will set their sights on the architectural design of some major projects in Hainan. In terms of the architectural design of some major projects, the general enterprises or construction units will immediately think of looking for the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute. Some other design units have a certain distance from the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute in terms of qualifications and design level. Moreover, the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute, as a government agency, is the qualification examination department for architectural design. In the field of architectural design in Hainan Province, it is an absolute authority.

After receiving the relevant instructions from the Hainan Provincial Government on the bidding for the design and construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Wanning City, the president and the secretary of the party committee of the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute attached great importance to the project, and took the project as a political task to grasp it, and demanded that the design institute must succeed in this bidding. They believe that the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute has had many classic, brilliant and successful designs in many projects built in Hainan Province in recent years. However, for a professional design unit and an audit unit, they can't be complacent on a little achievement, what they have to do is to forge ahead and make the career and technical level to a higher level. Regarding the requirements of the Hainan Provincial Government for the design plan of the deep-water berth wharf in Wanning City, the Party Committee and the leaders of the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute felt that they should seize this opportunity to completely launch the name of the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute. After all, such a large project is rare in China, and if it is done well, Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute will become a leading academic pacesetter unit in China. on this. The Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute requires professional departments to design from a political and academic perspective.

Like the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute, many units in Hainan Province with deep-water berth wharf design and construction qualifications have received the provincial government's requirements for the design and construction of the "Wanning Gangbei Port Deep-water Berth Wharf". The notice clearly shows that this project is different from the previous task order projects, it is purely a commercial activity, and the government adheres to the principle of fairness and openness in this regard, and the design or construction units that intend to carry out this project can participate in the bidding with qualifications. In this regard, the Hainan Provincial Government will hire experts from relevant aspects to conduct a total assessment of the design and construction bidding units, select the best, and select the capable. Put the relevant design and construction plan. The city government is handed over to some of the top design or construction companies, and everyone believes that they have a strong advantage in some aspects. For the sake of fairness, the city government has prepared a day to accept bids submitted anonymously by all units as required. In terms of design requirements, the Hainan Provincial Government also put forward according to Chen Zhaojun. It is only required that this is a design with a fully functional deep-water berth.

Everyone suddenly felt. Chen Zhaojun's way of tossing, not to mention in Wanning. It is also very rare in China, and the ideas given are simply unheard of. Merely. The provincial government has nothing to say about Chen Zhaojun's tossing method. After all, they came to rob Chen Zhaojun's business, and Chen Zhaojun's requirements were not harsh, and it was not difficult to implement. Speaking of which, Chen Zhaojun's tossing method will really make the bidding much fairer.

On the basis of the exploration team of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union on the deep-water berth wharf of Wanning Port, every design and construction unit has made great efforts, and it takes a period of time to design the wharf for the land with design qualifications, while the units with construction qualifications are correspondingly much easier, and they only need to give what they think is a reasonable price according to the basis of exploration.

In the next few days, a group of senior engineers from the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute worked hard, although the provincial government gave a wharf design plan requirements, but they wanted to be able to design a beautiful, practical and relatively low-cost deep-water berth wharf. After all, such large-scale architectural design projects are rare, and even the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute has never undertaken the architectural design of such a large project, so the pursuit of perfection is inevitable. After a group of senior engineers worked almost sleeplessly, they finally got this wharf design plan out a lot of time in advance. Although there are a few places that need to be revised and improved in this plan, the party committee and leaders of the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute have great confidence in this plan, and they feel that it would be strange if they could not bid for it.

Other design units in Hainan Province that received a notice from the provincial government also tried to fight perfectly for several days, trying to win the bidding luckily with the participation of the Hainan Provincial Architectural Design Institute. Moreover, this deep-water berth terminal is not a small project, and if the bid can really be successful, no matter which design unit it is, it will be able to win more fame and fortune.

Those construction units that have received the notice of the provincial government that are qualified to participate in the bidding will hold meetings to conduct in-depth research on the project budget because of the competition under the same conditions, and must obtain the construction qualification at the minimum cost in the competitive environment. In order to win the bottom of the bid and succeed in the bidding, these construction units must lower their prices as much as possible, after all, the construction units that are qualified to participate in each other's strength are about the same, and everyone wants more porridge and less porridge, so they can only start a price war. And this is an unprecedented large-scale project, no qualified construction unit will not want, after all, after the successful bidding, just in terms of fame, can make their unit in an absolutely dominant position in the future for a period of time. Therefore, these qualified construction units even considered bidding with zero income, and strived to win the bottom of the bid and obtain the right to build the deep-water berth wharf of Wanning Port North Port.

。。。

With regard to this bidding, the design and construction teams arranged by the Soviet Pacific Fleet were also extremely cautious. Before they went to Wanning, they knew very well that it would not be easy to successfully undertake such a project, and they had to take out all their hole cards to invest. And Chen Zhaojun also sees this, not to mention in terms of technology and technology, but also in terms of enthusiasm. And this time the bidding. It promotes this point, which Chen Zhaojun is happy to see. The Soviet Pacific Fleet did not say anything about the bidding process that suddenly appeared after the geological terrain was explored, after all, it was a request from others, and the other party's approach was not excessive.

For their own advantages and disadvantages, the teams of the Pacific Fleet of the USSR were well aware of it, in terms of price. Their construction team only needs to maintain the original price and should be able to beat all the teams that come to the bidding. And in terms of technology, they are also very confident, after all, they have always been engaged in the construction and maintenance of military ports. It's just that, in terms of design, of course, they want to be able to win the port design scheme, but

There really is no confidence. After all, this whole team is designed and built with a military port. On the part of civil terminals. They are really inferior to those units that specialize in the design of civilian ports. Especially in the pursuit of beauty, it is even more self-lamenting. Fortunately, this project separates design and construction. Besides, the cost of the survey has been earned, and the rest of the project. In their opinion, the design project can be abandoned, and they now prefer to obtain the labor-intensive, large-scale construction of the wharf. For the teams of the Pacific Fleet of the USSR to the places where they went. What needs to be solved urgently now is the question of how to resettle the surplus labor. Therefore, they urgently need to compete with a more competitive price to the bottom of this port construction task, no matter what. The yuan is worth more than the ruble. They believe that through this cooperation, the level of productivity of the Soviet Union can be clearly seen by the Wanning side, and they look forward to the opportunity to participate in the construction of many projects in Wanning.

In any case, design is still a money-making project, and since people have come to the country, they must do their best, even if they don't succeed, they will still be honored. In case of luck, that's for the best. With this in mind, the designers of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union have studied in many ways, and in terms of aesthetics and comprehensive functional design of docks, it is difficult for such a temporary team to compare with the professional level of many well-known wharf and deep-water berth design units in China. In this case, the only way to find a new way is to simply pursue the practicality of deep-water berth ports and high standards of quality assurance, in fact, this is the only thing they are best at. After all, they had been engaged in the design, construction, and maintenance of military ports. Therefore, for them, the design has become simpler, and the simplest and most practical design requirements are the strengths of them.

After a few days of design, the Soviet Pacific Fleet also completed their design.

。。。

Within the specified time before the bidding meeting, all the units participating in the bidding came up with their own design plans and construction budgets accordingly, and handed over the bidding to the Hainan Provincial Government in the form of anonymous bidding.

In order to ensure fairness and impartiality, before the bid awarding meeting, Chen Zhaojun deliberately approached the provincial government, and according to his requirements, he needed to find an authoritative third party as the judge of the bid award. Everyone also felt that Chen Zhaojun's request was very reasonable and fair, so according to Chen Zhaojun's assumption, several experts from the Institute of Architectural Design and Research of the Academy of Sciences, without knowing any inside story, were invited to Hainan, and they will serve as judges to review the design and construction of the Beigang deep-water berth terminal of Hainan Wanning Port, and provide reference opinions for the final decision.

。。。

Several experts from the Institute of Architectural Design and Research of the Academy of Sciences, in the review of the wharf design, invariably found a design scheme that seemed very ugly to them, but it must be said that this design scheme fully met the design requirements in terms of function and practicality, and the cost of construction and construction according to the design will be greatly saved. But at first, no one paid second attention to the design, after all, it was too simple and ugly compared to other designs.

When the experts screened out the design solutions that meet the requirements, the experts had a headache, these design plans, in addition to a design plan, other design plans can only be described as beautiful, each has its own advantages, each has its own advantages. For a moment, these experts couldn't make up their minds, they really didn't know how to choose. Several experts have their own opinions, affirming and arguing about the excellence of a certain design plan. While everyone was arguing, one of its experts happened to see the ugly design that everyone had thrown aside and was the first to be ruled out of the field. He found that all the excellence that other experts argued about could be reflected in the design according to the requirements of the management, but it was not so aesthetically pleasing. Taken together, this is an excellent design. Although other design solutions also cover the aspects required by these investors, and are more aesthetically pleasing, they lack the most tangible points in comparison.

After careful review of the design plan, the expert put the design in front of the experts: "Don't look at this plan ugly, but if we look at it from a different angle." According to the requirements of the management, which of you can bring up the points where it is not up to the mark? ”

As soon as the experts heard this, they looked at the plan on the table, and everyone suddenly felt that they were pursuing perfection in some aspects too much. If this condition is excluded, then indeed. This ugly scheme. It is the most reasonable design plan. After all, if the construction is carried out according to this plan. It will minimize the pressure of reducing costs and improve construction efficiency. Provide a better operating environment for the employer.

After careful evaluation of this ugly design, the experts agreed. This plan combines all the requirements and has met the requirements of the employer in all aspects, and the construction difficulty and cost pressure are minimal. Therefore, this plan was selected by the experts as the best plan for the design competition, and submitted to the Hainan Provincial Government, with the experts' review opinions and reasons.

In terms of construction quotations, the review is relatively simple. In order to meet the needs of the employer on the construction personnel, efficiency and configuration of equipment, the unified evaluation, the lowest price wins. As a result, a proposal that made all the experts feel incredible, which can be regarded as a loss to the local construction quotation, stood out, passed the review without objection, became the leader in the construction quotation, and was submitted to the Hainan Provincial Government at the same time.

。。。

The Hainan Provincial Government is still very convinced of the review, review and authority of the experts of the Academy of Sciences, after all, before this, neither Wanning nor Hainan Province had the opportunity to deliberately organize such a review and evaluation unit. Both the Hainan provincial government and the Wanning municipal government agreed with the results they gave.

As a result, all the bidders involved in the design and construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Gangbei Town, Wanning City were called together. A bid unveiling meeting composed of a delegation of experts from the Hainan Provincial Government, the Wanning Municipal Government and the Academy of Sciences as the main evaluation unit was held in a small conference room of the Hainan Provincial Government.

In the face of all the bidders, the expert representatives of the Institute of Architectural Design of the National Academy of Sciences revealed the results of the design scheme in public.

Finally, the review experts of the Academy of Sciences commented: "The previous design plans have met the requirements of the management, and in many respects can almost be described as perfect. However, one thing that is overlooked in these design options is the cost minimization required by the management. Although everyone has done their best to control the cost of the current design plan, but

The plan to win the deep-water berth code of Wanning Gangbei Port is much higher in terms of cost and price, and there is no very advantageous effect in terms of practicability. In fact, we also benefited a lot from this review, and we found that many of our designs have such a defect as the pursuit of perfection and the supremacy of aesthetics, which leads to our strict and meticulous cost control. Because of this, maybe we will design something beautiful, and it will be able to meet the design requirements, and there will be a lot of additional features. However, as a design unit, should we consider whether the use of these additional features is worth it compared to their cost, whether they are not asking for these additional features, maybe these additional features will be used one day? Of course, everyone likes to be beautiful and generous, but in terms of cost, these things are a burden on the employer, I believe that in terms of beauty and practicality, the employer is more inclined to practicality, rather than spending money to buy beautiful. So, the issue in front of us is that these additional functions, which may be a model project or a surface project, are something that the management does not need at all. ”

The representatives of the participating units participating in the bidding for the design of the deep-water berth wharf in Gangbei Town, Wanning City, listened to the comments of the experts of the Academy of Sciences. Scales fall from one's eyes. Perhaps, in terms of design, they really have these defects, in terms of technology, they don't think that their design ability will be much different. However, from the perspective of the employer, as the designer, they do think less.

The review expert of the Institute of Architectural Design of the Academy of Sciences continued: "The proposal that you saw in your hands that passed our review and was considered the best design of the deep-water berth pier was also thrown aside by us at the beginning, but it was only because he had all the conditions to participate in the review that he had the opportunity to appear on your desk. All the way to the end. We thought about it repeatedly and compared it with many parties, and finally determined that this plan not only meets all the requirements of the employer, but also the construction cost of this design plan is the lowest among all design plans! The expert smiled at this. Perhaps to ease the tension at the unveiling venue. He jokingly continued: "Of course, this is also the design of a deep-water berth that I have seen in recent years. One of the ugliest. Now, we will ask Governor Liang to reveal to us the ownership of the design of the winning bid. ”

Governor Liang Qiming didn't know at this moment. This time, who won the bid for the deep-water berth wharf design of Gangbei Town, Wanning City. However, listened to the comments of the experts. He also knows that no matter which design unit has passed the expert review, this design will ultimately bring the greatest benefits to the construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Gangbei Town, Wanning City. Before unsealing the hand-sealed label on the bottom of the label. Governor Liang Qiming was quite emotional.

Liang Qiming said: "I am very grateful to all of you for your contribution to the design of the deep-water berth wharf of Gangbei Port in Wanning City, Hainan Province. But on behalf of Hainan Province, I would like to thank you, I think what the experts said is indeed reasonable, many design units in the design of the plan, indeed too much pursuit of perfection, resulting in the failure of this bidding. Of course, I think that through this incident, our design units in Hainan Province should learn a lesson, and in the future design, unless necessary, we should try to consider the management from the perspective of saving money, which will definitely promote Hainan's economic construction. ”

As he spoke, Liang Qiming opened the envelope and pulled out the corresponding design number plate: "Now, I announce that the design unit that has obtained the design unit at the bottom of the design bid for the deep-water berth wharf of Gangbei Port in Wanning City, Hainan Province is the design unit. Now, please stand up and let us all know the representatives of Unit 6, which won the bottom of the design bid! ”

As soon as Liang Qiming's words fell, the representative of the Soviet dock designer sitting on the side excitedly stood up with the number plate and shouted in broken Chinese: "It's us, No. 6, us!" ”

Seeing that it was the Soviets who stood up, almost everyone in the venue was stunned, no one expected that among the many design units, the Soviets stood out with an ugly design scheme and became the biggest winner of the design of the deep-water berth wharf in Gangbei Port, Wanning City, Hainan Province.

Governor Liang Qiming was on the rostrum, looking at the Soviets who were shouting and screaming even in Chinese, and he was stunned! However, he clearly saw that there was nothing wrong with the numbers displayed on the number plate of the excited Soviet hand. He really couldn't have imagined that for the construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Gangbei Port, Wanning City, Hainan Province, he gathered almost all the major design units in the province with deep-water berth design qualifications, and even let the Soviets get the bottom of the bid. This result made Liang Qiming really dissatisfied. However, he also knows that for the fairness of this bidding, everyone does not know the result before the bidding, and the possibility of cheating can be ruled out. In other words, the design of the Soviets in this bidding was indeed a success.

Chen Zhaojun was also stunned by this result. He thought that although there was a verbal agreement with the Soviet side, as long as possible, he still hoped that the Chinese side would win the bid in the design of the dock and become the winner of the competition. In his opinion, he paid more attention to the cheap labor and construction technology level of the Soviet Union, and he really did not expect that these old Mao would be able to take the lead in the design of the wharf, and with an ugly design scheme, they would be able to stand out among many designs, and this result was really beyond Chen Zhaojun's expectations.

Experts from the Institute of Architectural Design and Research of the Academy of Sciences reacted the fastest, many of whom had studied in the Soviet Union in their early years. They know that this old superpower. To a large extent, there are certain advantages in the understanding of construction, design and basic science in various fields. It is not surprising that we were able to bid for the bottom of the bid this time. However, as can be seen from their design, this is indeed the character of the Soviets who have always pursued practicality. So, this result, they are not surprised.

The applause first came from the experts of the Institute of Architectural Design and Research of the Academy of Sciences, and the applause that rang out one after another woke up the Soviet delegates who were still forgetful. It was only then that he felt that he should show some gentlemanly demeanor. So, he spoke broken Chinese. Bow with a full "thank you". It's just that he was so excited that he didn't finish his four-bow action until the applause subsided.

Then, the review experts of the Institute of Architectural Design and Research of the Academy of Sciences once again commented on the construction quotation: "There are many units that can meet the requirements of the comprehensive management for construction personnel, efficiency and equipment, but the prices are different. In line with the principle of the lowest price, the lowest gets. Through the review, we have come up with the answer. Right now. Governor Liang, please announce the results of our review! ”

Regarding this matter, Liang Qiming also thinks that there is nothing to say.

As long as it meets the requirements of Wanning City for the port, of course, the price advantage will play a decisive role. Thereupon. He didn't say anything, straight

The envelope was opened, and the corresponding number was drawn: "Now." I announce that the construction unit of the deep-water berth wharf of Ningshi Port Beigang is the No. 22 construction unit, and the representatives of the unit are invited to stand up and let us all get to know each other! ”

At this time, the voice of the other delegates, who were all surprised, sounded again: "We, still us!" The 22nd is also us! "This meeting, in which the representative of the Soviet Union has attended in his life, was the most exciting and exciting for him. At this time, before everyone's applause rang out, he bowed around, played the broken Chinese again, and said "thank you".

This result stunned almost all the participants, and only Chen Zhaojun understood that the Soviets did have an unparalleled advantage in construction, because they were too short of money. It's just that Chen Zhaojun felt really embarrassed by the excited reaction of the Soviet representatives. He was wondering if that guy Sironov was really old and confused, how did he find such a clown to attend the meeting. He didn't know that the Pacific Fleet had really put a lot of effort into finding such a person who knew both technology and a little Chinese. It's already commendable to find such a one, and the old fox of Sironov is not confused.

。。。

After all, the Hainan Provincial Government has no objection to the Soviets' full participation in the design and construction of the deep-water berth wharf in the port of Wanning City, Hainan Province, after all, the Soviets not only won the first place in design, but also gave an ultra-low price in construction, which is indeed the most ideal for any investor. In Hainan Province, since there is no investment in the project, the Wanning municipal government has been able to lower its profile and give all units a chance to compete, which is quite well done from the perspective of respecting the leadership of the Hainan provincial government. Regarding this result, Liang Qiming could only complain that the design units on the island were too uncompetitive, and they could not compete with an outsider in terms of design. Of course, he also knew that in terms of construction costs, especially human resource costs, the Soviets did have an advantage in construction, and the economic situation of the Soviet Union was indeed very embarrassing, and they urgently needed to obtain survival resources through the export of labor services.

After the meeting, Governor Liang Qiming specially talked to Chen Zhaojun, and he knew that he had put a lot of pressure on Wanning City in this matter. He did not exclude Wanning City from using foreign labor export personnel to engage in production and construction in Wanning, which is a good thing in terms of attracting investment. However, as the governor of Hainan, he must consider from the perspective of the design and construction units of Hainan Province, and try to win more benefits for the enterprises in Hainan Province. He didn't want Chen Zhaojun to have a grudge against him, the provincial governor, in this matter, and it was necessary to give an explanation.

"Xiao Chen! What do you think? Will there be anything dissatisfied with the province's interference in your Wanning affairs this time? Liang Qiming sat on the couch in the governor's office with Chen Zhaojun quite cordially.

"Governor Liang! You've said that, how could I not be satisfied? To be honest, as the mayor of Wanning, from my perspective and position, I hope that Wanning City can flourish quickly. From this aspect, resource advantages and cost prices must be considered in an all-round way. Of course, I hope to use the lowest price, the fastest speed, and the best quality to build Wanning quickly. But as a member of Hainan Province, I certainly hope to be able to take care of the enterprises in this province. It's just that the funding gap for our Wanning construction is too large, so we have to save construction funds through various means and use every penny on the cutting edge. As things stand, it seems that the participation of the Soviets in the construction of Mannings was indeed an effective method. It can alleviate our financial pressure to a large extent, so some of our practices please understand and support the province! Chen Zhaojun said very sincerely, the mayor of a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hainan Province, he really needs the support and help of the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

"Xiao Chen! In fact, I can understand all these things you say, and everyone has seen the economic situation of the Soviet Union in the past two years. The use of their workers, technology and equipment in some cases can indeed alleviate the financial pressure on construction to a certain extent. However, I hope that you Wanning can think more about Hainan Province in the construction of Hainan Province, and try to take care of the enterprises and units in this province. We are very willing to see the development of Wanning City, and after the development of Wanning, we will also drive the common development of other regions. Only when the overall economic strength of Hainan Province rises, Wanning's investment environment will be better, which is a complementary relationship. Governor Liang said with emotion.

Chen Zhaojun understood Governor Liang Qiming's intentions and meanings very well, and the "bitter" words really made him feel that Liang Qiming, the governor, was not easy, and there were many more big and small things to consider than him, the mayor: "Governor Liang! Don't worry, I know what you mean! If Wanning's economy wants to develop, of course, the overall economic strength level of Hainan Province will be improved and developed. As long as conditions permit, Wanning City will make its due contribution to the improvement of the overall economic strength of Hainan Province. ”

Speaking of which, Governor Liang Qiming also knows that Wanning City, as an agricultural county-level city, has a weak economic foundation, and it is indeed not easy for Chen Zhaojun, the mayor, to be able to bring in so many large projects at the beginning of his tenure. It seems that the central government's arrangement of Chen Zhaojun to Wanning as mayor has been considered thoroughly: "Okay! Xiao Chen! Let's talk about this today, do a good job! When your deep-water berth in Wanning is built, I'll help you tailor! ”

。。。

Chen Zhaojun did not stay in Haikou City that day, he had to hurry back to Wanning. One is that he has to tell Anna the results of today's bidding for the design and construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Wanning City, so as not to make Anna anxious. Since hearing that the province was interfering in the design and construction of the deep-water berth wharf in Wanning City, Anna became anxious and forced Liu Jun to talk to Chen Zhaojun several times. Chen Zhaojun sometimes thinks it's funny, Anna, a little girl, usually looks very well-behaved and docile, how can she learn to pull the relationship and go through the back door. But the request in the province was not too much, and Chen Zhaojun really had no way to refuse. Fortunately, today all this is solved, of course, I have to tell Anna to reassure her. On the other hand, there is another important reason why Chen Zhaojun is in a hurry to go back, Xu Hongliang has arrived in Wanning with his think tank, and Chen Zhaojun must say something, so he has to greet investors.
