In fact, it is difficult to be fair, just and open in a large-scale engineering project like this. The communication on the surface is part of this, and the various operations behind the scenes are also another part.
To put it bluntly, everyone is using various methods to fight for this project behind the scenes. For example, recently Wu Hao, Zhang Jun and even a number of company executives, including Dong Yiming, Lin Jianliang, Zou Xiaodong, and even scientific research and technical personnel like Yang Fan, have become guests in the eyes of these people.
Wu Hao and Zhang Jun are the leaders of the company. Needless to say, their attitudes directly determine the final bidding result. Therefore, the two of them are also the targets of the teams of major bidding companies, with constant invitations, constant phone calls, and even some pervasive influence.
Just like Wu Hao has answered hundreds of phone calls these days, from all kinds of people, you sing and I come on stage. These people found them through various connections, and various people came to intercede on their behalf. Some people even found his father, some found Lin Wei's father and mother, and some found some elder leaders who were close to Wu Hao, etc.
Wu Hao is like this, let alone others. As the other two shareholders of the company, Zou Xiaodong and Yang Fan have also become popular recently. Although everyone knew that the two of them had nothing to do, they still wanted to use their status as shareholders to speak for themselves, or to influence Wu Hao's decision-making.
It is conceivable that Wu Hao laughed off the two people's complaints. However, the final result will still be based on which one is most beneficial to them. This is recognized by everyone.
If the normal progress is followed, this process will definitely be very slow, and it will usually take several months of wrangling and fighting to achieve results. Wu Hao did not give them such a long time, but asked for the results to be determined within two weeks.
After a series of communication operations, the final bidding work was conducted in the conference hall of a business hotel in Anxi, and the entire process was in the form of hidden bidding. Seventeen companies each stuffed their plans and filled-in relevant bid documents into portfolios, and then put them into the bid box. Finally, Wu Hao and his team of experts conducted a comprehensive evaluation to determine the final winning bidder.
"Okay, let's ask representatives from seventeen companies to put your completed bid documents and plans into a file bag, seal them, and then put them into the bid box." The host on the scene told everyone.
I saw representatives from seventeen companies stuffing envelopes containing bid documents into the mailbox. Then staff members sealed the mailbox and delivered it to the hotel's small conference room under everyone's eyes.
Here, professionals will unpack it, then sort it out and hand it over to a group of experts for review and evaluation. The final evaluation result will be determined by Wu Hao.
Wu Hao will not hold a one-note speech, but will collect the opinions of Zhang Jun, Yang Fan, and several leading cadres of the company to determine the result. Of course, as the head of the company, everyone will rely on his opinions.
In order to ensure that the entire review and assessment results are not affected by the outside world, all electronic devices worn by everyone during the entire review and assessment period are turned in for safekeeping, and no contact with outsiders is allowed. Even the waiters who come in and out to deliver food are in charge of female security team members from the security department to ensure that these people are isolated from the outside world.
In fact, this is just a show and of little use. The relevant experts in the expert group have been influenced by these companies before, so there is basically a subjective bias in the review and determination. The purpose of concentrating multiple experts is to obtain a more unified result.
As for how to determine it in the end, it depends on Wu Hao's decision.
After reviewing and evaluating all 17 bids and related plans, the expert group finally came up with a ranking of bids, among which China Railway Construction Group ranked first with the most votes.
To be honest, this result was different from Wu Hao's estimation. Originally, they thought it was China Construction, but they did not expect that China Railway Construction won in the end.
"I really didn't expect it. After all the fighting, I didn't expect that China Railway Construction broke out and killed it. So, are we sure it is it?" Zhang Jun said unexpectedly to Wu Hao while holding the review and evaluation results of the expert group.
"The current quotation and related construction plans it has given have significant advantages compared to other companies. Of course, the final quotation of China Construction is also good. But judging from the results, they have spent a lot of effort." Wu Hao smiled and then turned to Yang Fan, Zou Xiaodong and Dong Yiming and asked.
"What do you think?"
Everyone shook their heads after hearing this, and Zou Xiaodong said at this time: "We have no objection to this result, but I am more worried about whether the quality of the project can be guaranteed with such a quotation and such a rapid construction progress. This is a matter of concern. Our company’s future development plans.”
"You can rest assured that this construction plan has been fully verified by the expert group. There will definitely be no problems with the construction quality. And during the construction process, we will also hire an internationally renowned engineering consulting company, oh, that is, project supervision. The company conducts full-process control to ensure project quality.
At present, we are already negotiating with Nikki Co., Ltd. from Japan, Bailey from Helan, and Mote from Yingguo. They are very interested in entering the country to take over this project, and the results should be available soon without delaying the normal start of construction. "Zhang Jun smiled at Zou Xiaodong and explained.
It was Wu Hao's idea to hire a foreign engineering consulting company. This does not mean that domestic related companies are worse than foreign companies, but it is to avoid being affected. Compared with domestic companies, these foreign companies will be less affected.
"Then I have no problem." Zou Xiaodong nodded after hearing this.
"What about you?" Wu Hao turned to look at Dong Yiming and the others. Although they are not shareholders, they are also executives of the company, so according to the procedures, their opinions must be carefully reviewed.
Dong Yiming and the others naturally knew that Wu Hao was respecting them by asking for their opinions and was also following a process, so everyone shook their heads and had no objection. In fact, they quite agreed with this result, so naturally they had no objections.
Although these days, there are not a few people looking for them. But they still know where they are, and under such circumstances, they will not be stupid enough to speak up for other companies.
"Okay, let's leave it at that." Wu Hao nodded and then made the final decision. This also made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he had been under a lot of pressure during this period. China Railway Construction came out of the military and has a close relationship with the military. The same goes for Wu Hao and others, so there are not a few 'elderly' leaders who have interceded for China Railway Construction during this period.
Being able to finally confirm that it was it also gave Wu Hao an explanation for these elder leaders.
"Okay, now we invite Mr. Wu Hao, chairman and CEO of Anxi Haoyu Technology Co., Ltd., to read out the results of this bidding for us. At the same time, we also invite the legal team of Anxi Tianhe Law Firm and the notary office. The notary will perform on-site notarization for us.”
Amid sparse applause, Wu Hao walked onto the stage, then opened it and read it out.
"...After our comprehensive evaluation, congratulations to China Railway Construction Group for winning this bidding with a quotation of 9.55 billion yuan, congratulations!"
"Yeah!" As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, the members of the China Railway Construction bidding team sitting on one side of the audience stood up and cheered in celebration. The disappointed company representatives, after being stunned for a moment, also clapped politely.
“Representatives from various companies who have not been successful need not be discouraged. We will have many other projects in the future and everyone is welcome to actively participate.
We have changed the reception banquet for you in the restaurant next to it, please move there. "
Wu Hao, who was watching all this, smiled at everyone.
