Lao Liu is kind, but a little stubborn, always thinking that Fang Hanmin's family is poor and saves him everywhere, but time has passed, over the years, not only Fang Hanmin's hometown has undergone a lot of changes, but his own situation has changed greatly, Fang Hanmin is a face-saving person, Lao Liu should give him a chance to express his gratitude.

Lao Liu had to return the money to Fang Hanmin, the two pulled and tugged, Fang Hanmin stuffed the money into Liu Gong's pocket again, turned around and ran away.

"Hanmin, when you get married, you must tell me the good news in advance!" Looking at Fang Hanmin's back, Lao Liu shouted behind him.

Fang Hanmin turned around and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will tell you in advance!" ”

......

After going to work the next day, two assistants in charge of the construction of the experimental center came to ask Fang Hanmin for instructions, because the experimental center was being renovated and there were several things that needed to be decided by Fang Hanmin.

Guo Peng and Wan Cheng respectively reported on the progress of the renovation and the procurement of instruments and equipment, "Because the laboratory decoration standards have been improved, a few days ago I encountered a little difficulty in the allocation of funds. ”

"There are two brands of liquid chromatographs, domestic and imported, section chief, which one do you think should be purchased?"

Fang Hanmin asked the two assistants to sit down opposite, "Let's solve the problem one by one, and talk in detail, what's going on with the infrastructure department?" ”

"After the improvement of decoration standards, the construction unit believes that the proportion of funds advanced is too high, their current liquidity is relatively tight, and they want our unit to give a little more advance payment, we explained the situation to the infrastructure and financial department, and the infrastructure department refused to increase the advance payment on the grounds of the signed construction agreement."

"How did it turn out?"

"The builder told us that if we couldn't increase the advance payment by 20 percent, the construction period would be delayed by two months."

Fang Hanmin slapped the table, "This is just nonsense!" For the sake of a little advance payment, they dare to affect the construction period, do they still plan to do this work? ”

"Section chief, don't be angry, I think you should communicate with the infrastructure department of the factory first, understand the situation clearly, and then decide what measures to take."

"Okay, okay, let's put this matter here first, and I'll deal with it later. The second thing, domestically imported, what equipment? ”

"Liquid chromatograph, one is domestic, the other is imported, which one do you think we should choose?"

"Which one is of better quality? For example, detection sensitivity, resolution and reliability, which quality is good, choose which, don't ask me about this! ”

"Of course, the quality is better than Shimadzu and HP, but the price is also higher, and the financial department of the factory hopes that we will choose domestic instruments."

Fang Hanmin felt inexplicable, "The finance department doesn't understand technology, why should they make a choice for us?" ”

"Isn't it just a matter of price, because the difference between imported and domestic instruments is 80,000 yuan, and the financial department seems to be reluctant to spend more money."

Fang Hanmin nodded, "Okay, I'll coordinate these two things, you guys go and get busy." ”

Still lacking work experience in the agency, Fang Hanmin is not very clear about some of the unspoken rules of the agency, he thought that the things decided by the factory could be implemented step by step, but he didn't expect the relevant departments to say so much.

Fang Hanmin decided to negotiate with the relevant departments first, if the problem was successfully resolved, there was no need to report to Director Yuan, if the relevant departments were stubborn, he had to ask Director Yuan to come forward.

Due to the progress of the laboratory decoration, Fang Hanmin decided to settle the dispute between Party A and Party B over the advance payment, and he first found Party B's project manager to understand the situation.

"Aren't all the terms stipulated in the construction agreement between the parties? If you propose to increase the advance payment now, the factory will definitely not easily agree. ”

"Section Chief Fang, the laboratory decoration standard has been improved, our working capital occupation will inevitably increase, if the decoration project wants to be completed on time, Party B will also increase the construction personnel, and the cost will increase accordingly, if Party A does not increase the advance payment, we can't guarantee the construction period!"

Fang Hanmin felt that Party B's difficulties were excusable, and he decided to explain the situation to Deputy Director Zhou, who was in charge of infrastructure construction.

In the process of process transformation of the second workshop, the installation and construction team contacted by the deputy director of Zhou, there were some quality problems in the construction process, Fang Hanmin insisted on the principle of letting Party B rework, for this reason, there were some contradictions between the deputy director of Zhou and Fang Hanmin, and the old Zhou thought that Fang Hanmin was too rigid and unemotional, and the impression of the other party Hanmin was not very good.

However, Lao Zhou is a person who knows how to judge the situation, and in the past two years, he has watched Fang Hanmin become more and more valued by Director Yuan, and he has gradually abandoned some of the prejudices of Fang Hanmin.

When Fang Hanmin explained his intentions, Lao Zhou did not rush to express his position, but said noncommittally: "The construction of the central laboratory is an infrastructure project decided by the factory, and when I met to discuss this matter, I also raised my hand to agree, so I will support the construction work." ”

"Director Zhou, Party B is asking for an increase of 20% in advance payment due to tight liquidity, do you think it can be considered?"

"Hanmin, this is not like what you said! Do you still remember how you treated Party B's construction team during the process transformation of the second workshop? Lao Zhou asked with a smile.

Fang Hanmin didn't expect Lao Zhou to wait for him here, "Director Zhou, our attitude towards Party B at that time is not comparable to this matter now!" ”

"Isn't it all written in black and white on the terms of the agreement?"

"Although there were terms of the agreement, the situation at that time was that the construction quality of Party B was not up to standard, and we asked for rework; Now the construction quality of Party B is no problem, but the liquidity is relatively tight, and Party A needs to increase a little advance payment, otherwise, the fear of delaying the construction period, the nature of the two situations is completely different. ”

"I understand what you mean, but if Party B delays the construction period, we can claim compensation from them!"

"According to the agreement, once the construction period is delayed, it is possible to claim compensation from Party B, but it will take time for this kind of lawsuit to start! Because the laboratory decoration standard has been improved, the occupation of Party B's working capital has increased, and in the case that Party A does not increase the advance payment, Party B's working capital is tight, resulting in a delay in the construction period, not to mention whether it can win the lawsuit 100%, even if the lawsuit is won, the money for compensation and the loss caused by the delay in the use of the laboratory to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, which is greater and which is smaller, is not it clear at a glance? ”

"Hanmin, I will also calculate this account, but I just want Party B to know that the construction agreement is not child's play, and it must be taken seriously!"

Lao Zhou is aimed at Party B on the surface, in fact, he is not resolutely opposed to giving Party B an appropriate increase in the advance payment, through this incident, he wants Fang Hanmin to know that he is not without ideas about the rework incident that occurred during the process transformation and construction of the second workshop, but he just doesn't want to worry about Fang Hanmin, and he wants Fang Hanmin to understand his feelings, as long as Fang Hanmin makes things clear in front of him, Lao Zhou will not stop him.

This is the attitude of the old fritters of the agency, even if he knows that Fang Hanmin is standing behind Director Yuan, he must take advantage of this opportunity to achieve his own goals.

"Director Zhou, Party B may not have thought it through when signing the construction agreement, but at this point, should we promise to increase the advance payment by 20%, or let them delay the construction period?" Fang Hanmin didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, he just wanted to know what Lao Zhou thought.

Deputy Director Zhou pretended to be generous and said: "In order to ensure the completion on schedule, since you think it is necessary to increase the advance payment, then according to your requirements, add 20% of the advance payment to Party B." ”......

Coming out of Lao Zhou's office, Fang Hanmin turned around and came to the office of the chief financial officer, "Section Chief Li, are you busy?" ”

The elder of the finance department, Li, is a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old, because the door of the office is ajar, when Fang Hanmin came in, Lao Li was reading the newspaper, and when he heard someone greeting him, Lao Li raised his head, "Yo, isn't this the section chief Fang?" What's the point? ”

Fang Hanmin sat down opposite Lao Li, "Section Chief Li, I want to ask, is there a problem with the funding of the scientific instruments purchased by the experimental center?" ”

"The Experimental Center?" Lao Li is not familiar with this institution that has not yet been built, "You mean the instruments purchased by the technical department, right?" There is no problem with the funds! After the decision was made in the factory, we had the funds ready long ago according to the instructions of the factory leaders. ”

"In this case, our handling staff said that the funds are not fully in place, and some instruments and equipment cannot be entered for the time being, I don't know what the reason is?"

"What instruments didn't come in? Can you be specific? ”

"It is said that there is a liquid chromatograph, but the purchase object has not yet been confirmed."

Lao Li took out a few tables bound together from the drawer next to him, and found the procurement of the instrument in the form, "There is such a thing, this instrument has indeed not yet determined the procurement target." ”

"According to the clerk, this instrument has not yet been implemented by the procurement unit, mainly because the financial department has objections to the selection of procurement targets?"

Lao Li did not deny it, "That's the case, according to the information you provide, this kind of instrument is both domestic and imported, but the price difference between the two is 80,000 yuan, and we recommend purchasing domestic instruments." As a finance department, saving money is our principle. ”

Fang Hanmin nodded in agreement with the other party's point of view, "The principle of the financial department is right, and it is really necessary to save expenses." However, the purchase of scientific instruments is very professional, and only professionals know which brand of instrument is easy to use and which brand is not easy to use. Especially this kind of high-precision testing equipment, if it is not easy to use with money, the loss and waste caused will be 80,000 yuan! ”

"Yes, we are laymen, and we only focus on the efficiency of the use of funds. What does Section Chief Fang mean to buy imported instruments? ”

"Yes, Section Chief Li mentioned the efficiency of the use of funds, which is too good! Take this instrument as an example, the import price is 150,000 yuan, the domestic price is 70,000 yuan, just talking about the service life, the former can generally ensure that ten years will not be overhauled, the latter will be overhauled in three years, and basically scrapped in five years, you say that efficiency is high? In addition, the losses caused by the gap in detection accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability are incalculable. Section Chief Li, which instrument do you think is more cost-effective to purchase? ”

"The clerk did not explain the stakes to us, and of course the financial department should pay attention to the difference in price, after all, the difference between the two instruments is 80,000 yuan."

"I understand the working principles of the finance department, but some things are expensive to buy and cheap to use, and some things are cheap to buy and expensive to use, and similar examples exist in daily life." ......

In fact, the financial department belongs to the service department, and Section Chief Li has no right to interfere with the work of the technical department.

Everyone knows that Fang Hanmin is the youngest section-level cadre in the whole factory, and he is on an equal footing with them at a young age, which makes some people feel uncomfortable, although everyone also knows that Fang Hanmin has made great contributions to the whole factory, not only has been exceptionally promoted, but also valued by Director Yuan, but they still want to show a certain sense of existence in front of Fang Hanmin.

Lao Li did this with his own purpose. The financial department is an important department, don't look at Fang Hanmin is the technical section chief, in front of an old qualified section chief like him, he still looks immature, as long as he wants to find trouble, Fang Hanmin has to obediently come to the door to beg him.
