Chapter 23: Changing Thinking

At noon, Lin Yun invited Secretary Tian of the village committee, Director Tian of the Transportation Bureau, and the butcher to eat outside.

Lin Yun was a little depressed, this disadvantage really affected his mood.

It was originally a weekend, and the village committee and the transportation bureau had a weekend, and everyone was busy encountering such a thing, and it couldn't be solved, so naturally everyone was a little unhappy.

The meal was served, although the matter was not resolved, Lin Yun still had to thank a few people.

Lin Yun drove the car and couldn't drink, so he could only propose that Secretary Tian and Director Tian drink some wine, and the two did not object, and asked for a bottle of Niulanshan Lao Baigan.

Only those who know wine drink this, produced in Beijing, more than 20 yuan a bottle, pure grain wine.

Lin Yun thanked a few people with tea instead of wine, and it will take a long time to deal with them in the future, this is etiquette.

We can't always evaluate the relationship with people by interests and results, and we will definitely become more and more familiar with them in our future work, and there will be more places where we need to trouble others.

Eating and drinking is also to deepen the relationship, don't give people the impression that the utilitarian heart is too heavy, and if you can't do something, don't you invite you to dinner?

Everything is too utilitarian, which is a taboo in interpersonal communication.

As a result, this circle was toasted with tea instead of wine, and a few words from Secretary Tian of the village committee suddenly opened another door to Lin Yun.

"Mr. Lin, do you have to use this place, can you not use it, think of other ways."

The mass work is not easy to do, so Secretary Tian can only retreat to the second best thing and do Lin Yun's work in turn.

"Tian Zhishu, according to the usual practice, we must build a mixing station, and the concrete mixed by ourselves is safe to use, and the cost is much lower."

"Why can't you entrust the mixing, invest in the construction of a mixing plant, even the smallest one will cost hundreds of thousands, my brother's company has a ready-made mixing plant on a municipal project a few kilometers away, this project is nearing completion, ready to be changed to a commercial concrete mixing station for sale."

It's really a village with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright.

When Lin Yun heard Secretary Tian's words, his mind began to come alive, and he immediately showed great enthusiasm.

Entrusting mixing is a good way, and the key depends on how to cooperate.

"Secretary Tian, if you are free in the afternoon, can you take us to have a look."

After eating, Secretary Tian took Lin Yun, Director Tian of the Transportation Bureau and the butcher workers to inspect a concrete batching plant more than two kilometers away.

The mixing plant is ready-made, but the price of the commissioned mixing still has to be discussed.

Lin Yun called Du Bin and financial Deng Mei and asked the two of them to come over to discuss the details.

Anyway, I, Lin someone, is also a real project manager now, and I can't be left alone in front of everything.

If the negotiated price is equal to or less than the mixing of the self-built mixing plant, the self-construction will lose its meaning.

Lin Yun found that he seemed to have walked into the misunderstanding of the construction of large projects, and many times this kind of small project is just a little bit of money saved after comprehensive comparison.

And after this idea is opened, the office space and dormitory of the residence can also be rented, and it is not necessary to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to build.

Who said that state-owned units can't operate like private enterprises, they can't make money, what kind of façade do they want?

There is only one fundamental issue that needs to be solved here, that is, whether the supervisor and the owner agree, but the owner will generally agree, mainly the question of whether the superintendent agrees or disagrees.

One of the most important questions is whether there are any requirements in the bidding documents or the cost of the construction of a separate mixing plant.

As long as it is not mandatory, it can be adapted.

In fact, Lin Yun had already called the chief engineer He Chenggang to ask about this question at noon, and there was no description of the mixing station on the bidding documents, only the cost of the construction of the station, but there was a description of the mixing station in the company's bidding documents.

There is a description of the construction organization design of the bidding documents on my side, but it is not difficult to do, because it is the bidding period and is an estimate.

If you want to reduce costs like the private sector, all you need to do now is how to convince the director.

Of course, this can only be finalized after comparing the cost of mixing in a self-built mixing plant with that of a commissioned mixer.

If the cost of purchasing or entrusting mixing is too high, you will definitely have to go back and honestly talk to the villagers or find another venue, and there is no other way to go.

After looking at the mixing station, all the conditions met the requirements, and it was a large-scale mixing station, and there was no problem with thousands of cubic meters of material per day.

Lin Yun, who had made up his mind, stood in front of the pickup truck and handed a cigarette to Director Tian of the Transportation Bureau, Secretary Tian of the Village Committee, and the butcher.

This product is going to invite a few more people to dinner in the evening, and by the way, call the relevant personnel of the project department over, and everyone will meet to get acquainted.

It's okay in the afternoon, just ask a few people to go fishing, and ask for some useful information.

Who knows this place best?

Of course, it's Secretary Tian of the village committee.

"Secretary Tian, you see where there is a fishing place nearby, we go fishing in the afternoon, and in the evening, we will see Secretary Tian arrange a farmhouse to have a good drink, and we didn't accompany a few leaders to be happy at noon, and we opened up to drink at night."

"Mr. Lin, I don't dare to compare with you young people, Director Tian is a great drinker, you and Director Tian drink two more glasses at night."

"Big brother, it's boring for you to talk like that, I'm not a young man, Manager Lin and Xiao Tu are young people, I'll drive back at night, and let Manager Lin and Xiao Tu drink with you."

The two surnamed Tian are not young, and the butchers are young.

However, it seems that the butcher is the head of Director Tian in everything, and he rarely speaks, and generally laughs and does not speak.

If Lin Yun didn't know the inside story, he wouldn't have used the butcher as Director Tian's driver.

Now many units are like this, except for the leaders who have full-time drivers, most of the full-time drivers have been canceled, anyway, now everyone can drive, which department wants to use the car is their own.

The butcher and Director Tian ran the scene together, and they definitely couldn't let Director Tian be the driver, right?

Lin Yun didn't dare to snub the butcher, as long as he was a person doing the project, he would not dare to slack off on the owner, even if it was really a driver.

It must be comprehensive, and we can't ignore it just because the people in charge are young, because we will suffer a loss.

"Butcher, you will drive with me in a while, and I will lead the way with Secretary Tian in front."

After agreeing, Lin Yun drove Secretary Tian forward in a pickup truck emitting black smoke, and Santana behind him also followed.

Returning the same way, Secretary Tian of the village committee went back to the office to get his fishing rod, and several people continued to drive to their destination.

The destination is six or seven hundred meters away from the village committee, on a small street on the right, and twenty or thirty meters inside is a farmhouse with its own fish pond and fishing.

On the edge of the township, it's nice to have one of these farmhouses!

Except for Secretary Tian, who has a fishing rod, the rest have none.

After parking the car, Secretary Tian called someone downstairs to get three fishing rods in dialect, and heard that someone upstairs answered, so Tian Zhishu took a net bag in the utility room downstairs, took a stool and left.

Fishing is a hobby, and those who like fishing will always like it, and those who don't like fishing will not like it.

From the moment he got out of the car, Lin Yun was observing this place.

It's a nice yard, with an L-shaped corner building on the left side of the road, a small four-story building with four shops facing the street below.

The two rooms on the right have been opened up to make a small supermarket, the other two on the far left are for breakfast, and the remaining one is the lobby and entrance of the farmhouse.

Originally, there were five rooms, but in order to lead to the fish pond and parking lot behind it, the middle one was directly used as a passage, and the car could drive directly from here to the back parking lot.

Lin Yun thought about it, this farmhouse, the four-story house will definitely not be used up, and the location here is quite good.

The building is an L-shaped corner building, and the other side seems to be empty, so I don't know what the upstairs room looks like.

If you can rent it, if the rent is right, it's actually quite good.

This place is only two or three hundred meters away from the most important node of the construction site, the bridge.

I have to ask Secretary Tian about this situation in a while, and ask him to help inquire, people can bring them here to fish and eat, it must be very familiar.

Secretary Tian took his fishing rod and went out fishing along the cement ridge outside the parking lot.

After a while, a teenage boy came down from upstairs, took a fishing rod and bait for each of the remaining people, and went to the utility room to find a net bag and a folding stool for a few people.

The fish pond in the parking lot behind the house is very large, with three or four acres of appearance, not an irregular circle or rectangle, similar to an irregular ellipse, but it is large on one side and small on the other.

There are not many people fishing here, and those who really have time and love fishing are generally wild fishing.

Director Tian and the butcher got the fishing rod and went along the other side, and Lin Yun took the fishing rod and went to the village party secretary.

People who love fishing like to be quiet.

Lin Yun pretended to be next to Secretary Tian and began to fish, two or three meters away, this thing thought about how to find a conversation, and asked Secretary Tian to help inquire about the house.

Secretary Tian saw Lin Yun coming over to pretend to be fishing, and moved a few meters outside, not disgusted, such a big fish pond, people really don't know why Lin Yun came over tightly.

Lin Yun saw that Secretary Tian moved a little, and he also moved a little, and after Lin Yun two or three times in a row, Secretary Tian couldn't help it.

"Mr. Lin, can your brother stay away, if you don't know how to take bait, I'll help you fight, the two of us are too close, and we will affect each other."

Haha, people are serious about fishing, and Lin Yun wants to inquire about the situation, so naturally their minds are different.

"Secretary Tian, I don't know how to fish this way, I want to ask you about a situation!"

Hearing Secretary Tian's complaints, Lin Yun simply put down the fishing rod, took out a cigarette and walked a few steps to hand one to Secretary Tian, helped light it, and lit one himself.

"If you have anything, just say it, and it's absolutely no problem if you can help."

This Secretary Tian is a grassroots cadre with a very pragmatic style and goes straight to the point.

"I want to rent part of this farmhouse, a dozen rooms are fine, can you help me ask."

Forty-seven or eighteen-year-old Secretary Tian heard Lin Yun's words and stared at Lin Yun for about ten seconds, seeing that Lin Yun was a little uncomfortable and a little confused.

Suddenly, the fish was hooked, and there was a battle of wits and courage, just like the cunning fox can never fight the hunter's ending, Secretary Tian copied a big herring of four or five catties.

Secretary Tian took off the fish with ease, put it in the net pocket that was submerged in the water, spit out the cigarette in his mouth, and began to hang the bait again.

I opened my mouth while hanging the bait.

"Mr. Lin, do you know who this farmhouse belongs to?"

"Who's?"

"It's mine!"

Lin Yun instantly understood that the secretary of this branch was not easy to do.

It is estimated that there are still a little concerns about renting a house, and I am afraid of gossip.

In fact, in many cases, it is really difficult for grassroots cadres, and the ability of ordinary people to chew their tongues is inversely proportional to their family economic situation.

Hating others and laughing at others is the mind of most people.

In fact, these leaders who led everyone to make a fortune were not able to get rich themselves, and they themselves lacked convincing.

However, most of the people like to see poor leaders, and some complex emotions are also mixed in the simple cognition of the people, so there is an inexplicable equation between poverty and honesty.

The best grassroots leaders must be poor and single men, and they must not be too old, and they must let ordinary people have a sense of superiority, yes, yes, yes, and they must listen to the people!

In fact, the real grassroots leaders are often the opposite of what the people expect.

There are many grassroots leaders who have cars and houses, and have a strong ability to generate income by engaging in side businesses, which is very common in the relatively wealthy Jiangnan Province, and there are many grassroots leaders in some places who open factories.

To be honest, people don't care about this position, and there are really people who want to help the villagers do something, which is completely different from many backward areas.

"Tian Zhishu, aren't all of them the same? Are you still afraid of other people's gossip, this is not forced to buy and sell, fair and voluntary, no one stipulates that the branch secretary's house cannot be rented to the project department as a station. ”

Lin Yun said it reasonably, Secretary Tian also thought for a while, sighed, and began to answer Lin Yun slowly and leisurely.

"It's not impossible to really want to rent, I'll take you up and have a look later."

Look at it must be seen, looking suitable on the outside, it does not mean that it is suitable inside, and it must meet certain standards to meet both office and accommodation.

When it was almost five o'clock, Tian Zhishu took Lin Yun to look at the third and fourth floors, all of which were vacant, and all of them were laid with floors.

On the upper floor facing the road are two three-bedroom units, and the corner is the back of the corner where there are meeting rooms and two private rooms.

This layout is very suitable, a conference room downstairs is used as an engineering office, and the upstairs is directly the conference room.

Lin Yun called the two people who went to the mixing station to talk about cooperation, as well as the chief engineer, and asked them to rush here at night, and also come over to see the environment, so that everyone can get acquainted with it.

To be honest, to deepen the impression, you have to eat and drink, just sit in the conference room, introduce it, and forget about it nine times out of ten.
