Chapter 58: The Great Project
Flower & Cow Western Restaurant.
In a booth on the second floor, Su Ying sat with a woman of a similar age, Peng Fan, Su Ying's college classmate who currently works in the Planning Department.
The two of them ordered steak, snails, lobster, and a bottle of red wine. While eating, they talked about the past, and talked about what their former classmates are doing now.
After eating half of it, Su Ying suddenly changed her words, "Fanfan, yesterday I saw an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that it was the overall decoration of your Pengjia Village and the bidding, what is going on?" ”
"This one...... I heard from my dad that it was the uncle who was in charge of the house who wanted to renovate the whole village...... Renovation is renovation, the movement is quite large......" Peng Fan said.
"Renovation...... This is the same thing as decoration......" Su Ying asked.
"It seems to be a re-planning, on the basis of the renovation of each household as much as possible, we don't know what he thinks. Our family only renovated the house last year, and it turned out that he suddenly did it this year. But he is the patriarch, who dares to say half a word, he can only agree. The money is all out of him, and he can turn it over if he wants to. Peng Fan was still a little complaining.
"Then you said if I went to the bidding, would it work?" Su Ying asked.
"You ......" Peng Fan was stunned for a moment, "You want to bid on behalf of the Xuan family......"
"I'm no longer working in the Xuan family...... I started my own business and opened a store......" Su Ying said.
"I did it myself...... The Xuan family is very good, and the income is also high, what do you think......" Peng Fan said a little puzzled.
"In a big company, it's all about intrigues, and I'm tired of these days. That's why I thought about doing it myself, and saving so many troubles...... I also know that starting a business is different from a part-time job, just to make a name for yourself and attract customers is to go through many roads...... Therefore, I want to participate in this bidding, if I can win the project of Pengjia Village, it will not only help me to get started, but also increase my popularity......" Su Ying said seriously.
Peng Fan nodded, "What you said also makes sense, the intrigue in a large company is really not suitable for a professional type like us...... With your strength, it is absolutely no problem to preside over the renovation and renovation of a village...... It's just that our village is not big, and it is not small when we say it...... How big is the company you own ......"
Su Ying said a little embarrassed: "It's just a store, it's a little small, but the project is mainly design-based, and when it comes to construction, as long as you don't cut corners, there is absolutely no problem." ”
In fact, she also understands that with the strength of her own small store, it is indeed a bit ambitious and self-sufficient to bid for such a project now.
But if you want to make a sign, you have to dare to compete. Especially today, the Xuan family's stores have opened to her door, if she doesn't do something, it's basically no different from waiting for death.
"That's right, we know the roots, and I know your strength better than anyone else. But for such a big deal, it's my uncle who is in charge, and what I said definitely doesn't count. If there's anything you need my help with, I'll do my best to help you. Peng Fan said seriously.
"Thank you......" Su Ying said sincerely: "Bidding advertisement, I don't know if you have seen it, the above requirements are a little high...... A-level designer qualification, there is no problem with this, I am 3A, and the difference is in the size of the company...... The above requirement is to achieve medium to large, mine can only be regarded as small or miniature...... So I thought, can you try to accommodate me, at least give me a chance, let me bid for a try......"
"That's right...... Then, I'll call my dad, he should be able to talk in the village......"
Peng Fan really did what he said, immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number. When the phone was answered, she said, "Hey, Dad...... That's right, one of my classmates, you know, is Su Ying, the highest level of design in our school at that time. She saw the advertisement for the decoration bidding of our village and came to ask me if she could participate in the bidding...... She used to work in Xuanjia as a design director, but now she works alone and opens a small design company. In terms of the scale of the company required by the bidding, it does not meet the standard, but the strength has nothing to say. I wondered, can you go to the uncle's house and ask, give her a little accommodation, and give her a chance to try...... Okay, I'll wait for your call, you hurry up...... Thank you dad......"
Hanging up the phone, Peng Fan said: "I told my dad about your situation, and my dad said that the bidding matter was handed over to Uncle Seven, and Uncle Seven has already come to the city." He called Uncle Seven, told me about your situation, and saw if it could be done. ”
"Trouble uncle." Su Ying said sincerely.
"Let's be polite, just a matter of one sentence. My dad will definitely ask you about it, and I guess he will be able to hear from you in a while. Come, let's Chels......" Peng Fan said, raising his red wine glass.
The two took a sip of wine and chatted again, and after six or seven minutes, Peng Fan's mobile phone rang, "Ring ring, ring ......"
"It's my dad calling...... Peng Fan glanced at the caller ID, and then answered, "Hey, Dad...... What did my seventh uncle say...... That's right...... I know...... You're waiting for my news......"
Hanging up the phone, Peng Fan said: "My dad asked my seventh uncle, and my seventh uncle said that the reason why the size of the company is required is not that small companies can't do it, but because small companies can't take this job at all." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Su Ying asked puzzled.
"You think, there are more than 1,000 people in our village, and although all the young people have gone to the city, there are more than 100 households in the village. All of them have been renovated, and they are almost hundreds of millions of projects. My uncle's strength, of course, needless to say, with the Zhou family, the tide has already risen, and it is naturally not a problem to come up with this money. But it is impossible to pay you so much money for the project at one time, and I am afraid that the other party will run away with the money. So he is to pay in several installments, this can be explained in the bid, at the beginning, the construction party must pay a sum of money, is 10% or how much, until the final acceptance of the final settlement of the balance. Not to mention anything else, the average small company doesn't even have a cash flow of one or two million, so what to pay in advance. Peng Fan said.
Su Ying nodded slightly, she naturally understood this in the end, this kind of project engineering is different from home improvement. Home improvement is generally 50% of the payment in advance, after half of the completion, then pay 30% to 40%, and when all is completed, the balance is settled. The reason is that the cost of home decoration is low, and in general, 200,000 yuan is enough for basic decoration, and some are not needed. Therefore, it is no problem to pay half, and the decoration company will not run away with 100,000 yuan.
But it's different for projects with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, how much is the down payment for you? If more than 100,000 or 200,000 is not enough to do anything, just give you 10%, that is also 10 million, for a small company, it is already worth running away.
The Peng family chose a large company to do it, obviously there is nothing wrong with it, you won't run away, I won't be unable to pay, everything can be negotiated. The reason for bidding is nothing more than to choose the best in terms of design and budget.
"In this way, on the basis of meeting the requirements of the plan, there is a certain amount of cash flow, which can be used as the early project payment for construction, regardless of the size of the company, it is possible to bid for this project?" Su Ying asked.
"That's basically what it means." Peng Fan said.
"I see." Su Ying held up the wine glass.
For this project, she felt that she had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and with the little money in her hand, she couldn't follow the project of hundreds of millions of yuan.
