Chapter 228: Expanding the Territory
Although Ma Lu is the smallest in the dormitory, it is only a small birthday.
He and Xu Boan are the same age, but their birthdays are eight months apart.
However, Ma Lu, this kid is a bit of an idol, and the whole person looks young.
Of course, that was only once.
Xu Boan remembers that when he was in school, many people said that Ma Lu looked like Liuchuan Feng.
In addition, he plays a good hand of basketball, and he is the small forward of the "Huo Yanyan" basketball team in the college, which is widely popular with girls.
But now, standing in front of Xu Bo'an, he looks like a living coach Anxi.
The former is chic and handsome and sporty, while the latter is fat and rich and typical of middle-aged men.
If you distinguish it carefully, in the contour of the face, it can also be integrated with Ma Lu's face in Xu Boan's memory.
It's him, that's right!
"Mi'er!" Xu Boan shouted at Ma Lu, opened his arms, and walked towards Ma Lu.
Ma Lu got up, shouted "boss" in his mouth, and then opened his arms and hugged Xu Boan.
Xu Boan tightened Ma Lu's hand, stretched out his hand and patted Ma Lu's back, and said, "You kid made a surprise attack on me, it's really not interesting!" ”
Ma Lu responded with a wry smile: "Hey, I didn't mean to be polite to you, I really had this idea in my heart, and I left right away, don't I want to surprise you." ”
I haven't seen each other for many years, and the two former classmates naturally have a lot to say.
"Okay, let's go to my office and sit down for a while."
Ma Lu followed Xu Bo'an and soon came to Xu Bo'an's office.
Liu Quan followed all the way, until he poured a cup of tea for the two, then said hello to Xu Boan and retired.
After seeing Liu Quan go out, Ma Lu stood up directly, looked around in Xu Bo'an's office, and went into the suite to take a look, with a smacking sound in his mouth.
"Tsk, I never thought that Boss Xu, you are making a lot of money in a muffled voice, I remember that during the Chinese New Year, we chatted in the WeChat group, and your kid is still on the project. In the blink of an eye, they have all done it, and they have actually climbed to the sky in one step and become a chief engineer! ”
My own brother who slept out of a dormitory was used to it casually in the past.
Although the boss and the eldest scream on weekdays, it is normal to call "son", "boy" and "rabbit cub" in words.
Xu Boan didn't explain too much to Ma Lu, after all, he was frustrated in the middle, and there was no need to talk about the experience of the tiger falling into Pingyang and falling to the trough.
Xu Bo'an smiled, threw Ma Lu a cigarette, and said, "Tell me, what position are you going to do?" Do you want to go down to the project, or stay in the agency. If you go to the project, you have a construction certificate, and if you have a small project, you can start with the deputy general manager of the project, and after a year, you will be the chief engineer of the project.
If you are in the agency, you have to transition to the position of deputy in the department for two more years, after all, you are a newcomer, you have to go around the bottom again, and work as a project manager before you can come back, and if you are lucky, you can go to the deputy chief engineer or deputy manager, at least you have to be the main position of the department. ”
For Ma Lu, Xu Bo'an threw out such an olive branch, which is definitely full of sincerity and quite generous.
Even if ordinary people have a construction certificate, most of them have to spend on the project, and they will not have the opportunity to come to the agency in their lifetime.
And many people have been working on projects for several years, and it is difficult to adjust to their main positions.
Xu Boan said this directly, obviously thinking about the old relationship between the two, and even more believing in Ma Lu's strength.
Ma Lu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry boss, what you said is very good, I am very moved, but ...... I don't want to go. ”
Xu Boan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So what are you going to do? ”
Ma Lu walked up to Xu Bo'an, first helped Xu Bo'an light a cigarette, then lit it for himself, took a puff, and then said while exhaling the smoke: "Boss, I think so, you help me see if it is suitable." ”
Xu Boan stretched out his hand and nodded, "You say." ”
"That's right, haven't I checked some information of your company on the Internet in the past few days, and asked some industry peers about the status of your company, and found that your company's development momentum in Jiangzhou Province over the years is still very good. But in neighboring Weizhou province, several bids have been successful in the past two years, and it seems that the last successful project was the subway line 2 project in the capital of Weizhou two years ago. ”
Xu Boan nodded, sat in a different position, leaned on the sofa, stroked the back of the sofa with one hand, lifted Erlang's legs, frowned and nodded, and said, "That's right, that's the case, what are you doing studying these?" ”
Ma Lu smiled and said: "You suddenly told me to come to you before, and said that I should check your current identity and status on the Internet. ”
Xu Boan flicked the cigarette ash and signaled, "Okay, you continue." ”
Ma Lu continued: "Weizhou Province has recently vigorously developed railway freight, a lot of projects have been approved, your construction engineering group is a good hand at tunneling, over the years to do a lot of tunnel projects worth mentioning, Weizhou Province is mountainous, you go to bid at this time, but there is a lot of advantage." ”
Xu Bo'an said: "What do you kid want to say?" You're going to do the bidding? ”
Ma Lu snapped his fingers and said, "Yes." I think that in today's industry, market development is the most critical part of achieving the overall business development. Only by constantly exploring new markets can we bring more business opportunities and benefits to the enterprise, improve the visibility and influence of the enterprise, and attract more customers and partners. ”
Listening to Ma Lu's words, Xu Bo'an's eyes lit up.
It's not that this argument is novel, but that he suddenly thought that this is also the case with his own bonsai.
It's been a long time since I've expanded the scope of bonsai, and now I've hoarded a lot of incense wishes.
It's time to start expanding the scope of bonsai and start the next big plan.
For example, expand the territory to strive for more controllable land, develop more projects, and attract more villains to settle down.
Suppressing the thoughts about bonsai in his heart, Xu Boan raised his hand and waved, and said to Ma Lu: "Don't talk nonsense first, I know this truth, but on our company's side, the bidding is generally grasped by the group company, and then the project is divided." Our secondary company does have a lot of shortcomings in this regard. ”
Ma Lu said with a smile: "What shortcomings are not shortcomings, to put it bluntly, the reason why your construction engineering group has been able to eat in Jiangzhou over the years is not because you are a local enterprise here in Jiangzhou, and everyone is familiar with it after cooperation all the way, and you also know more about the construction procedures here, which can ensure the relevant quality, which is a lot of opportunities." ”
Xu Boan nodded and said, "Yes, what about Weizhou, you kid is not from Weizhou." What are you thinking about making waves over there in the past? ”
Ma Lu smiled bitterly: "Isn't I thinking about expanding the territory and doing a career to prove myself, since your company has previously got the project in Weizhou, there must still be a chance to continue to cooperate, if I can get this thing done, it is also a big vote for me to gain a foothold in your company, if I fail, and then come back to help you fight, anyway, others don't know, it's not a shame, right!" ”
"You really want to try?" Xu Boan asked.
Ma Lu sighed and said, "You just let me try, otherwise I will be uncomfortable on the construction site like this, after this double disappointment in the workplace, I really want to get ahead." ”
Xu Boan took a puff of cigarette, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
It's not that he doesn't want Ma Lu to try, but the path he arranged for Ma Lu before is already the safest and best way to develop his career.
Ma Lu rashly tried to open up the market, and there were some detours.
He had also heard of the railway project in Weizhou Province before, and the top approved a large project of ten vertical and ten horizontal.
But such a big project has attracted major first-class group companies across the country to compete for the cake.
Although the Construction Engineering Group is still well-known in Jiangzhou Province, when it goes out of town, it is a question of whether it can get the bid, and whether it can afford the construction of specific projects.
Nowadays, all the personnel of the construction engineering group are not idle, and the project labor is almost saturated, and there are no idlers and idle teams and teams.
If you win the bid, it will be really difficult to get qualified teams and project teams to go out for a while.
On the other hand, a company with obvious regional characteristics such as Construction Engineering Group, most of its business scope and connections are local.
In all of their projects, almost all the construction personnel are from various regions of Jiangzhou Province.
On weekdays, when dividing projects, most of the group companies also consider the principle of proximity to home.
Although there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to go home every three or five times, it is still possible to return once a month or two, and the distance to go home each time is controlled within one day.
In the long run, people are reluctant to work on projects in other places.
If you receive the bid in the field, you have to start work, and you can't even get together the personnel of the team and the various departments of the project department, it will be a shame.
No one wants to take this risk.
Ma Lu didn't know what Xu Bo'an was thinking, he just felt that the more projects, the bigger the cake, the more money he earned, and the more credit he had!
Seeing that Xu Bo'an was silent, Ma Lu patted his knee and said, "Okay, this matter is probably embarrassing for you, otherwise, if it is convenient, you can help me introduce your general manager, and I will talk to him." ”
Xu Bo'an looked at Ma Lu, blinked his eyes, and said, "What do you mean kid?" I'm worried that I won't be able to be the master! ”
Ma Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "You said it yourself." But after all, for a construction company like ours, we still have to nod our heads for major things. ”
Xu Bo'an glanced at Ma Lu and said, "Nonsense, tell me with you." ”
While speaking, Xu Boan dialed Xu Jiang's phone, which is the current general manager of Dongjiang Second Construction.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"Hey, brother, my eldest nephew and sister-in-law are okay."
"Oh, that's the case, I have a brother here, his kid is a little bit of a doorway in Weizhou Province, and he wants to help us develop the market in Weizhou Province, I don't want to report to you brother, see what you mean."
"Ouch, look at what you said, brother, you just exalt me too much, such a big thing, you have to be the Dinghai God Needle to show me the direction."
"Haha, yes, I think it's a good thing too. On the side of the group, I went to Mr. Su to say. ”
"Well, then I'll arrange it."
"Well, I'll go back and see my sister-in-law."
After a while, Xu Boan hung up the phone, threw the phone on the coffee table, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Okay, you kid can do it yourself." I thought it attracted a right-hand man, but this particularly cool thing attracted Xiliang Iron Rider! ”
Ma Lu blinked his eyes and scolded with a smile: "Fuck you, I'm not Dong Zhuo." But then you still have face, you talk to your general manager, just like that! ”
Xu Boan smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, let your kid try this matter, go down and write a plan report yourself, and I will ask the group for instructions." ”
Ma Lu smiled and said, "No problem, I won't embarrass you." ”
Xu Boan pointed at Ma Lu and said: "If this thing is done, I will go to the meeting to study it and set up a Weizhou branch to contract Weizhou business as a third-level company. ”
Ma Lu pursed his lips and said, "You leaders, you are all a problem, you love to draw cakes!" The big guys are all the same age, and it's time to be healthy at this age, so don't draw cakes for me here, okay! ”
Xu Bo'an took the last puff of cigarette, squeezed the cigarette butt in the ashtray fiercely, and said: "Boss, let's be honest, I have paved the way for you, what do you think, what hole cards do you have, why do you want to go to Weizhou to expand the territory?" ”
Ma Lu smiled bitterly and said: "What hole cards are there, it's just that I played big this time, and as soon as I left my side, the two teams that entered the company with me were directly squeezed out." It's really a person who walks the tea and cools it. It's all my relatives in my hometown or something, all pointing to me looking for work, I have to think about finding food for the big guys, you have helped me so much, I can't make any more trouble for you. ”
Hearing Ma Lu's words, Xu Boan shook his head helplessly and said, "You kid, alas. ”
Most of the teams on the project are the structure of fellow villagers pulling fellow villagers, so Xu Boan is not surprised by Ma Lu's statement.
He had the intention of taking in these two teams, but the company's existing projects and personnel were saturated, and more than a dozen of Ling Feng's comrades-in-arms who had been inserted before had already been overstaffed.
If you arrange a team to go in, you will be suspected of grabbing the cake, which is really not good.
The best way is to expand the territory.
Ma Lu squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, don't worry about me, it's just starting from scratch, you were all admitted to graduate school back then, and I was a scumbag named Sun Shan, I was the first to work in our brothers, and the family conditions were average. Although they were all vices, it was not easy at the time. I want to come and go, and while I can still do it, let's fight again. ”
Xu Boan smiled helplessly and said: "You kid, you are still so strong, go, go boldly, if you can really expand the territory, I will personally take you to see Su Dong, the leader of the group, even if you are pointed at your nose and said that you want to run for an official, I will ask you for a deputy chief engineer or deputy manager to come back." ”
Ma Lu stretched out his fist at Xu Bo'an and said, "A word is a certainty? ”
Xu Boan bumped fists with him and said, "A word is a certainty!" ”
Ma Lu smiled, got up and said, "Okay, you have helped me so much, let me be an east, it's not an exaggeration." ”
"Get out of here, come to my territory, how can you be the east, you kid stay for me honestly, I'll tell the canteen to prepare."
Ma Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "The main thing is that I still have an appointment." ”
"Whom did you date! Tell him to come along. Xu Boan waved his hand disapprovingly.
Ma Lu said: "My brother-in-law, no, it should be the former brother-in-law, and the family broke up, in your Dongjiang side of the toy business, is the kind of toys you make yourself, that kid is very hands-on, I heard that DIY a lot of toys, all of them are popular, the business seems to be good." ”
When Xu Boan heard this, his eyes lit up.
Craftsmen, our old Xu is now the most favorite craftsman.
Let him DIY a building or something for me, is it reliable? After all, with the increasing population of the backing village, the biggest problem in front of Xu Boan is the accommodation of the little ones!
If you can DIY other more practical buildings, mobile fortresses or something, wouldn't it be a bull bomb!
