Chapter 378: Universal Use (Part II)
On the twenty-ninth day of the new year, Valery and I saw off Roman.
In the quaint Chinese restaurant, there were only three people: me, Valery and Roman.
Valery pulls out a bottle of Wuliangye and tells Roman that this is the best Chinese liquor. I usually don't want to drink it.
During the dinner, Roman handed me a bank card and said with a smile:
- "Linna, thank you for your hard work all the time, Valery said that you really helped him a lot, I came from Moscow in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any gifts for you, you can take this, I can buy something for my parents for the New Year." ”
I didn't expect this kind of thing, and I didn't know what to say
- "Thank you, Roman, Valery will give me a holiday tomorrow, and I can rest in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which I never dreamed of!" I couldn't have been happier...... I didn't expect you to give me such a valuable gift, it seems that this will be the most enjoyable Spring Festival I have ever had in the past few years...... Oh! I'm here to thank you for my parents...... By the way, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance, a prosperous business, and all the best......"
Roman and Valery laughed happily when they saw that I was a little incoherent.
Roman poured Valery full of wine and said with emotion:
- "I know it's not easy for you, and I can imagine how difficult Tony is. ”
- "I think he's a bit excessive, always picking bones in eggs, is that really all we have to do with him?" I asked
- "Tony is indeed more troublesome than the other supervisors," Roman said
- "Roman, we don't have outsiders today, I'll tell you clearly!" I looked at the budget, and the money you gave me was going to be a lot of work for the rest of the project," Valery said worriedly.
- "I can't really give you an additional budget at the moment, Valery," Roman replied with a serious expression in his glass.
- "Then I can only find a way to deal with the materials!" Roman? Valery said in a disgruntled tone.
- "Alas! Roman sighed and didn't say anything.
- "Isn't 40 million enough?" I asked suddenly.
Hearing my question, they both looked at me at the same time in surprise.
- "Who told you that there are forty million" Valery blurted out.
- "It was the big man who said that they spent 40 million to achieve this level, and their leaders would not be satisfied"
Valery looked at Roman inquiringly.
At this moment, I suddenly realized, did I lose my words? Didn't even Valery know how much the Russian Ministry of Commerce and Trade had really paid for the project? How much money did this Roman give Valery? It is no wonder that Valery suggested that the budget was insufficient.
At this time, Roman slowly put down his glass, looked at me and Valery with a wry smile, and said:
- "Everyone knows that the amount of our contract is 40 million. But, let me tell you, I actually only got 20 million!
Of course, I can completely skip this pitiful project fee, and no one forced me to take this project! However, the payment model is the same for almost all projects in the Russian Federation! Hey...... Even so, you can't imagine how many Russian companies are looking at this project."
- "It's so dark," I exclaimed.
- "Yes! You know how I can't pay this time, right? Roman said helplessly
- "But the budget doesn't guarantee quality at all," Valery stressed
- "yes, what are we going to do if Tony and their leaders track them down?" He's not satisfied with what we're doing so well," I said.
- "There's one thing I don't think you recognize, Linna, even if we spend 40 million on the project, Tony still won't be satisfied," Roman said
- "What then?" Next, if our materials are not up to standard, Tony will not be able to pass the level, and he will not let him use the sewer pipe he used last time is of the best quality," I said indignantly
- "Linna, I think you already know how to get past Tony," Roman said meaningfully, looking at me
I looked at Roman and understood what he meant, but I said with some concern:
- "Tony always says his leader will go after him, and that big man is his leader, right?" I don't think he's any easier to deal with than Tony! ”
- "Only the big man who came to the inspection team this time was an expert, and he was in charge of checking the quality of the project, and the other two were his leaders, and they were in charge of the project allocation. Roman said
- "He seems to be very unhappy with our work," I said
- "This is because he was the only one who had not yet benefited from this project, so he was not satisfied!" This time, Tony and him went to Sanya, and I don't think he has anything to say. Before, I was really worried about him, and I didn't know how to deal with it, but fortunately, they spoke up on their own! Valery said that he also wanted to go to Sanya, which is exactly what I wanted! We've finally wiped out this inspection team! Roman said.
- "Who are they?" I said angrily
- "Haha...... Linna, why are you still losing your temper? Have you forgotten how your customs clearance company responds to state inspections? Roman said with a smile.
- "Why are all these Russian officials like this?" I said
- "Haha...... Russia like this? I have a business almost all over the world, and I tell you Linna, this is a common practice for national projects! Roman replied.
