Early on Monday morning, before I had time to take a sip of water after I had been busy for a long time, Mr. Li's young assistant rushed to our office and shouted: "398" has found fault again! He didn't say that there was a problem with the quality of the sewer pipes that were transported, and he didn't let it be installed!

Valery, who was looking at the schedule, frowned and listened to my translator's words, he stared at the schedule and did not make a sound, seeing Valery's reaction, the young assistant was a little anxious, he said, "398" asked them to pull this batch of pipes back, and they were not allowed to unload the truck! But the workers are waiting for the installation, and if they don't use this pipe, where can they find the pipe?

Looking at the anxious assistant, I said to Valery, I'll go see what's wrong with Tony first, and Valery nodded at me.

When the assistant saw me to solve the problem, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and said to me as he walked, let me explain to "398" that the pipe fittings they use are the best, if this is not used, then where to find a better one?

I came to the yard and saw a large truck parked there, with several Chinese workers waiting next to the car. When they saw me, they all gathered around me and asked if the car was unloaded or not.

I saw Tony standing alone in the back of the car, looking up at the tubes in the truck.

I walked over and smiled and asked:

- "Tony, what's wrong with these tubes?" Waiting for installation on the construction site, if there are no special circumstances, let them unload the truck, right? ”

Tony smiled when he saw me and said that he felt that there might be a problem with the environmental protection of the pipe of this material, and if there was no relevant environmental protection certificate, he was still a little worried about this material. ”

I asked Mr. Li's assistant if these pipes have environmental protection certificates? Can you ask the supplier to issue it?

Mr. Li's assistant explained to me helplessly. They buy the best quality pipe fittings in China, and the production and sales of these pipe fittings have strict national standards. The brands we selected have been exported to all over the world, and many famous buildings in our country use this brand of pipe, and I haven't heard of any problems, let alone what environmental certificates are needed to install it. He even wondered if such products in Russia really had environmental credentials......

I smiled and said to Tony, let's catch up with the schedule, and it is impossible to buy better pipe fittings than this in China, the materials they use have production and sales licenses, and they have all passed commodity inspection, and the product quality is absolutely fine, can you be accommodating?

Tony pondered for a while and said, if it were ordinary buildings, he would not be so demanding, this is not that he deliberately embarrassed us, for the construction of the Russian embassy, their country has stricter requirements and regulations. Since he was in charge of the quality of the entire project, he should at least be able to cope with it if his superiors asked him.

I said that we can all understand what they are asking for. However, there is no other choice for not using these building materials now, in fact, this is just a matter of delaying time, can you let the workers install first, and we will slowly fill in the specific environmental protection documents needed.

Tony looked at me and didn't make a sound.

I went on to say: Actually, we know that the required documents are to deal with the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and we are not good at being a Chinese company! We really don't know when they'll be able to get it out, and it's too much of a loss to drag it out like this.

- "Or else! Tony, how about you prepare the documents according to the requirements of the Russian Embassy, and let the construction company pay you? ”

Tony's eyes lit up when he heard me say this, and he said, "He could consider doing this."

I said that I could give him a copy of the invoice for this batch of building materials, so that he could refer to the relevant documents. I'll get Valery to pay him for the documents as soon as possible.

Tony listened to me and said happily that he would tell us the cost of the documents as soon as possible.

- "Then can we let the workers unload the trucks first?" I asked, looking at Tony pleadingly.

- "Yes! Let them go and install it now. Tony replied cheerfully.

I went back and reported the matter to Valery. After hearing this, Valery snorted and said:

- "Give him a copy of the invoice!" I'd like to see what broken environmental documents are so valuable! ”

The next day, Tony quoted the price he paid for the environmental paperwork to be $2,000!

Valery took two thousand dollars out of the safe and asked me to give it to Tony. I said if I want to wait for his paperwork to come out, and then we'll give him the money.

Valery said:

- "What do we want that environmental document for?" Let him keep it for himself! I don't even want to see it, I just have to write down to Roman that it's all for Tony, don't think I'm spending it! ”

After saying that, Valery put on a hard hat and went to inspect the construction site. When I looked up, I saw Jima changing the mineral water in the conference room. I stopped him and told him to ask Tony to come over.

After a while, Tony came over.

I handed him the envelope containing two thousand dollars, and Tony looked at it, and as he picked it up, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

- "Linna, I'm asking a professional to do the environmental protection documents, and it will take two days to come out." ”

- "You can come out whenever it comes, we don't need this document, you can keep the original document yourself to deal with the review, just give us a copy." I said.

- "Haha! Linna, after all, you are from Moscow, and you are really level and efficient in your work! Tony had a great laugh.

- "Praise! Tony, you're a role model for me to follow," I said with a smile

- "Hey......
