On how to quickly promote the progress of the Kra Canal project, Comrade Li Mai, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Director of the Safety Supervision and Management Committee of the Gun Regiment Construction Group, gave clear instructions at the highest meeting.

To sum it up succinctly, in one sentence - use soft currency to open the way.

What kind of country Thailand is, Li Mai does not know. He has never studied this Buddhist country, nor has he paid special attention to the news of this neighbor. But he knows the most fundamental point - where there are people, there are people. Those who compare our Chinese society with Western countries are frogs at the bottom of the well who have not seen the world.

At the meeting, the budget for special public relations expenses was approved. In other words, FKY's leaders and employees in charge of external relations do not have to worry about running out of money.

However, there are rules for everything.

Maybe Li Mai didn't care about this, and he didn't need to ask for specific details. However, the people below will never let the budget be used arbitrarily.

Xu Ruichen's style and personality as a chief financial officer are widely known. He is generous and scares people to death, and stingy and disgusts people.

There have been two contrasting incidents.

In the procurement project of the group headquarters to add vehicles from the red car, the procurement department submitted the budget plan according to the standard, but the budget approved by Xu Ruichen increased by 30 percent compared with the original! This made the procurement department ecstatic and greatly shocked at the same time. Xu Ruichen naturally has his reasons, which will make the procurement of equipment more in line with the actual situation of the company's development.

Another incident has also been widely "preached" -- the administrative department of the water conservancy and hydropower company has an expenditure of 100 and 10 yuan that has no basis, and Xu Ruichen has let the manager of the administrative department put his pocket in his pocket.

Xu Ruichen is such a person.

The emergency meeting was held in the conference room, and the people in the finance room hurriedly sent over various reports, materials, documents and other things, and Wang Jiaqing, Tang Zheng, and Xu Ruichen stood on the side of the elliptical conference room, watching the people below busy and not chaotic to count and verify.

The staff of the finance department of the company's headquarters and the staff of the finance office of the exploration brigade brought by Xu Ruichen supervised each other and verified the public relations expenses from the beginning.

About half an hour later, a bespectacled clerk handed the summary sheet to Xu Ruichen. Xu Ruichen looked down, and then handed it to Wang Jiaqing.

Wang Jiaqing glanced at it, handed it to Tang Zheng, and then said, "You go out first." ”

The staff put down their work and left the conference room and closed the door.

Wang Jiaqing motioned for the two to sit down, and then said, "There is no basis for the expenditure of 320,000 yuan. Old Don, tell me what the situation is. ”

The final accounting results were the same as the previous ones, indicating that Xu Ruichen and the others did not make mistakes.

Tang Zheng glanced at him, then at Xu Ruichen, frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, after we arrived in Chunpeng, we immediately contacted the local relationship according to the plan, and carried out public relations with the local government. Almost all the heads of departments have arrived. There are so many people that I can't remember for a while when I think about who I paid for it and who it didn't pay for. ”

Wang Jiaqing nodded, looked at Xu Ruichen, and said in a consultative tone, "Old Xu, these things like public relations fees are not visible, and there are no bills." It is inevitable that someone will forget to enter the account in the process. In my opinion, let the investigation team investigate this matter by itself. ”

Tang Zheng was very surprised, he didn't expect Wang Jiaqing to speak for him, especially in the more sensitive public relations fee, and he was facing Xu Ruichen, who was known as the iron-faced rooster.

Xu Ruichen hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Wang, you said so, then let's do as you say." However, the results of the investigation will be reported to the Bangkok headquarters. ”

This last sentence is said to Tang Zheng.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will definitely find out, and then give a detailed investigation report to the Bangkok headquarters. Tang Zheng nodded and said.

Wang Jiaqing stood up and said, "Mr. Tang, this side still needs to focus on survey work, and the Bangkok headquarters will send additional personnel here in the next month." I'm here this time, and I'll finalize the matter of the headquarters station. The construction team arrived three days later, immediately put into construction, completed the construction of the headquarters station within two weeks, and officially settled in a month later. ”

"Time is of the essence. He said and smiled, "Chun Peng, thank you for your hard work." ”

This is the third time he has said to Tang Zheng, "Thank you for your hard work".

Tang Zheng nodded seriously and said, "Tang Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task on time." ”

"Good. You go get busy first, I'll talk to Mr. Xu. Wang Jiaqing said.

Tang Zheng nodded in acknowledgment and walked out of the conference room.

When Wang Jiaqing and Xu Ruichen were left, Xu Ruichen slowly spoke, "Mr. Wang, I don't understand why you let the survey team conduct a self-inspection. ”

Wang Jiaqing motioned for him to sit down, and said slowly, "In this situation, it's not good to affect the enthusiasm of the survey team because of this matter, especially Tang Zheng's. ”

After a pause, he said, "Lao Xu, I know the rules, but I have special treatment in special times. The early work on Chunpeng's side was all on Tang Zheng alone, and he was under a lot of pressure. If something goes wrong, it should be forgiven. ”

Xu Ruichen shook his head and said, "You misunderstood what I meant. With Tang Zheng's current income, it is impossible for him to make mistakes for hundreds of thousands of yuan. I'm worried that some people at the bottom are not right, and they will take this opportunity to make money in their own pockets. The public relations fee is relatively special, and the amount of expenditure basically depends on the consciousness of the operator. The discipline of our group's employees has always been a model for many famous enterprises to learn, and the occurrence of such a thing shows that there is a problem with strict discipline. That's not a small problem. ”

Wang Jiaqing nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with you. But I believe that Tang Zheng will find out where the money went. According to the regulations, they are not allowed to check themselves, and I know that. Lao Xu, just this time, the big boss blames it, and I am responsible. ”

"It's not a question of who is responsible. Xu Ruichen smiled helplessly, sighed, and said, "Forget it, just do as you say." I believe that Tang will always find out. As you know, the chairman hates taking advantage of the public the most. ”

"When I got back to Bangkok, I personally reported the matter to the big boss. ”

What else could Xu Ruichen say, he could only nod. In front of Tang Zheng, Wang Jiaqing said that, and he couldn't help but agree. Maybe he is not as good as other CEOs in terms of administration, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the art of the workplace. Wang Jiaqing is the second-in-command, the specific person in charge of FKY Company, and Xu Ruichen must not give his face.

As Xu Ruichen said, Wang Jiaqing also understands that small sees big. What may now be an unexplained expenditure of hundreds of thousands is only a few hundred thousand, but this is a dangerous sign that needs to be taken seriously. The Kra Canal project itself is a special project, and it is obvious that the public relations fee will be there for a long time. If there is a huge loss in the future, or even absconding with the money, it will be too late to pay attention to it at that time.

The FKY company is rich, but having money and spending money are two different things entirely.
