The two boxers separated out of breath. Zhang Tianci seemed to have won on points, because although he had a black eye, Tan Xinren not only had two swollen eyes, but also had a nosebleed.
Zhao Wenhua glanced at Tan Xinren angrily and secretly scolded him for being unable to keep his temper. If only Zhang Tianci took action, he could disqualify Zhang Tianci from participating openly. But now, although Tan Xinren is at a disadvantage, it is still a fight, and he can't make a fuss about it.
But as long as he is here, the final victory will belong to Tan Xinren, so it doesn't matter if Zhang Tianci takes advantage first.
Zhao Wenhua winked wildly at An Sizheng. Although An Sizheng reported the matter to the Ministry of Works in a sensible manner, in the final formality, the announcement of which construction team to choose must be made by Daolu Division. Because Jiajing appointed the Daolu Department, not the Ministry of Works.
An Si nodded knowingly and was about to make an announcement when someone suddenly coughed next to him. When he turned around, his legs suddenly became weak and he looked at Zhao Wenhua pitifully.
Xiao Feng and Qiaoqiao stood quietly on the outside looking at An Sizheng. Although they didn't speak, the businessmen present could all feel An Sizheng's pressure. An Sizheng was really in a dilemma at this time. He had to make a choice between Zhao Wenhua and Xiao Feng. Anyway, he would offend someone.
An Si was gritting his teeth and was about to speak when Xiao Feng suddenly said loudly: "An Si Zheng, this is my Taoist temple after all. Although I can't decide which construction team will do it, my Taoist temple has very high requirements and not everyone can build it. Okay, you have to be aware of it!"
Zhao Wenhua sneered secretly, using this kind of pressure method to show shame? He immediately winked at Tan Xinren, and Tan Xinren understood. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry An Si, no matter how high the requirements are, since Tanji Construction dares to accept the job, I will not make any discounts!"
Xiao Feng was obviously a little anxious: "I use this Taoist temple, and the construction standards must not be compromised! The construction standards in An Sizheng's hand were written by me. The standards and construction period are very strict. If it cannot be met, what can I say? ?”
Zhang Tianci quickly shouted in cooperation: "If Tianci Construction is allowed to obtain this project, if it fails to meet the construction standards or cannot be completed on time, I would rather pay ten times the cost!"
Zhao Wenhua laughed in his heart, Xiao Feng was at his wits end and used this trick to scare people. He also read the construction standards this morning. Although some of them were strict, there was nothing surprising about them. Since he wanted Zhang Tianci to win the project to make money, how could he deliberately set up obstacles to raise the standards.
As for the construction period, although it is not very generous, it is definitely a normal construction period. Any construction team present will be able to complete it on time. This is normal. Zhang Tianci has a newly established construction team with no experience. How dare Xiao Feng set the construction period too tight?
Xiao Feng was so eager to set standards and urged An Sizheng to make a decision. He must have planned to take advantage of Zhao Wenhua's absence and Tan Xinren's isolation to force An Sizheng to hand over the project to Zhang Tianci.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Zhao Wenhua rushed back before the last day, so all of Xiao Feng's designs would have to be negotiated by Xinren.
Thinking of Xiao Feng's heart bleeding, Zhao Wenhua and Tan Xinren felt extremely happy. Tan Xinren is also an old player in the construction industry. How could he not know this trick? At that moment, he shouted loudly: "I have seen the standards and the construction period. If the construction cannot be realized in the end, I will pay ten times the compensation!"
Zhang Tianci was really anxious: "I will pay twenty times!"
Tan Xinren was furious, and it was unprecedented for him to pay ten times as much compensation. In general, if there were major flaws in construction projects, the compensation would only be twice as much. Now, in order to suppress Zhang Tianci, he had made an exception and followed him ten times. Zhang Tianci's mallet, this is not doing business, it is clearly risking one's life!
Zhao Wenhua frowned. It was time for him to step forward. He shouted: "Nonsense! There must be rules in everything! I have never heard of a project requiring twenty times compensation! You are disrupting the market!"
Xiao Feng said coldly: "If you are honest in your heart, you will naturally dare to speak boldly. An Sizheng, which construction team is more confident, can you see clearly? If you forcibly hand over my view of the world to the construction team that has no confidence, Although Xiao has a good temper, not everyone can be bullied!"
An Si was sweating all over his face: "Master Xiao, but it's not good to keep raising bets like this! Master Zhao is right, there must be rules in everything!"
Xiao Feng stared at An Sizheng fiercely, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since Minister Zhao has spoken, let's do it ten times as promised by both parties before! Zhang Tianci, sign the document immediately, don't you dare!"
When he saw this, he didn't even cover it up, but directly made it clear that he wanted to help Zhang Tianci!
Zhang Tianci turned red in the face and punched the stone lion at the gate of the Ministry of Industry. There was blood on his fist: "Damn it, why don't you dare! At worst, I will lose all my money, and I will have to fight with my surname! I’ll sign the paperwork right now!”
Xiao Feng looked at An Sizheng: "What did you say?"
An Si was looking at Zhao Wenhua for help. Obviously, of the two, he was more unwilling to offend Zhao Wenhua, but in full view of the public, he had to have a justifiable excuse.
Zhao Wenhua was confident and quickly winked at Tan Xinren. Tan Xinren also blushed, and a rush of blood rushed to his forehead. This was no longer a matter of business.
If this project was snatched away by Zhang Tianci today, Zhang Tianci would be able to earn 20,000 taels of silver, which would give him more confidence to go against him. Moreover, his momentum has been suppressed in front of the entire Beijing business community. How will others see him in the future?
He said loudly: "Okay, even if it's ten times the price, I dare to sign it! Sign it now!"
Zhao Wenhua smiled sinisterly and said, "An Sizheng, can you make a decision now?"
An Sizheng avoided Xiao Feng with his eyes and took out the documents tremblingly: "Both construction teams are willing to sign ten times the compensation documents. After careful consideration, Daolu Division decided to choose the larger one with a longer history - Tanji Create!”
Everyone suddenly burst into discussion. Although it was expected, no one expected Xiao Feng to show up brazenly and confront Zhao Wenhua directly before arriving. This drama was really enjoyable to watch.
Xiao Feng's cold eyes never left An Sizheng, who kept his head lowered and did not dare to look at him. Tan Xinren, looking at Zhang Tianci's eyes that wanted to kill someone, signed the document with pride. There were four copies of the document, one kept by the Ministry of Works, one by Tan Xinren, one by the Daolu Department, and Xiao Feng, as the proprietor, naturally also had one.
Seeing that it was a done deal, Xiao Feng snorted coldly, took the paperwork and walked away. An Sizheng wiped his cold sweat, said hello to Zhao Wenhua, and returned to the palace to resume his duties.
Tan Xinren took his copy of the document, gave Zhao Wenhua a "you know" look, and hurried back to make preparations.
The crowd next to him was still talking about what he was saying.
"Xiao Feng seems to be really angry. He is from Zhongshushe. Will he go to Wanzai to complain?"
"It doesn't matter that he is from Zhongshushe. Zhao Wenhua is still the minister of the Ministry of Industry. The scary thing is that he is Zhenren Wenxuan. Do you think he can curse human Taoism?"
"You mean he will curse Zhao Wenhua? It's useless, right? I heard that those who can reach the fourth rank or above are the stars in the sky who have come down to earth and are not afraid of curses."
"But An Sizheng is only at the sixth level. If you can't curse Zhao Wenhua, why can't you curse him?"
"No way, An Si belongs to Dao Lu Division. Doesn't he know Dao Dharma?"
"The officials of Daolu Division are not Taoist priests. An Sizheng has a wife and a daughter!"
"Who says Taoist priests can't have wives and daughters? Taoist priests can still drink wine and eat meat!"
"Drinking and eating meat is drinking and eating meat, and wives and daughters are wives and daughters. How can the two be confused?"
"A monk doesn't drink alcohol or eat meat, and he doesn't have a wife or daughter. It shows that the two are one!"
"You can't drink alcohol, eat meat, and you can't have a wife or daughter. Being a monk is really meaningless. You said it's all right, so what kind of monk do you want to be?"
"...What are we talking about? How did it get involved with the monk?"
