Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast together and headed to Master Lu's place.
The arrival of Yu Chang surprised Master Lu, but he said happily: "Here again, this time I brought a friend? Girlfriend?"
Yu Chang quickly explained: "No, just ordinary friends."
As he said that, he handed him a cigarette and lit it for him, but he didn't smoke it himself. Master Lu said, "Why don't you smoke?"
Yu Chang smiled and said: "My throat has been uncomfortable these past two days, and I haven't smoked much."
Mr. Lu glanced at Yu Chang, then at Chai Ning behind him, smiled knowingly, and said, "I understand."
Chai Ning didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and Yu Chang just tried his best not to smoke in front of her.
"Mr. Lu, I have to trouble you this time." Yu Chang quickly changed the subject, otherwise the shameless old man might say something shocking.
"If it's not troublesome, just say it." He took a long puff of cigarette and blew thick smoke into the air.
Although Chai Ning didn't like the smell of cigarettes, she didn't deliberately avoid it when Mr. Lu smoked.
Yu Chang took out 108 bodhi seeds from his bag and said, "This is the golden leaf bodhi seed. I need Mr. Lu's help to polish it and put some wax on it."
Mr. Lu glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Easy to say. Give it away?"
Yu Chang nodded.
"Male or female?"
Come again!
Yu Chang glanced at Chai Ning, a little helpless, and said: "You don't care about men and women, just tell me how long it will take at the earliest?"
Mr. Lu looked at more than a hundred Bodhi seeds and said: "Mechanical polishing takes a week. As for pure manual polishing, it is slower and takes at least a month."
One month, that will definitely not work, as the daylilies will be cold by then.
Chai Ning stepped forward and said, "Master Lu, just polish it with a machine. The faster the better."
Mr. Lu glanced at Yu Chang, and Yu Chang said, "Well, listen to her."
"It's easy to tell. Will you pick it up yourself or will it be mailed to you?"
Yu Chang said: "Let's mail it this time."
"Well, then give me your address."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Chai Ning had already figured out the clues. Now Yu Chang gave Mr. Lu the address, explaining that he had not given it to Chai Ning last time. Yu Chang came to pick up the Pixiu he sent to Chai Ning himself.
This indirectly explains that Yu Chang personally made two trips to Maitreya in order to send Chai Ning Pai Yao.
Thinking of this, Chaining suddenly felt warm in his heart.
Chai Ning was in a good mood after leaving Mr. Lu. She originally planned to go back to Yuxi, but she changed her mind and planned to spend two days in Maitreya.
Yu Chang had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
In the next two days, the two went to Maitreya Temple, Keyi Town, Jinping Mountain Scenic Area, and Yunnan Red Winery. At the red winery, Chai Ning even bought two bottles of red wine.
When they returned to Yuxi, it was already Sunday night. Both of them were tired, but also very happy.
On Monday, Zhang Tian organized an all-staff meeting. At the meeting, the directors of each department made recent work reports and work plans for the next month.
Based on the reports from the directors of each department, Zhang Tian made directional arrangements for work.
At the same time, Zhang Tian specifically shared Yu Chang's follow-up on the Yuancheng leasing project at the meeting. However, in order to save face for Huang Shitong, he did not mention at the meeting that Chai Ning would assist Yu Chang in running Yuancheng. Project-related matters.
Of course, the management is already aware of this matter, but the employees below are not yet aware of it.
However, Zhang Tian explained at the meeting that Li Siyan replaced Fan Hai as the product manager of the Yuancheng project: "This project is of great importance, and it was decided that product director Li Siyan would personally take charge."
After the meeting, Yu Chang went to Zhang Tian's office and agreed to his previous suggestion. He would report to Chai Ning on future work and let Chai Ning lead Yu Chang for a period of time.
On Monday, Chai Ning handled various work matters of his department, and on Tuesday, he informed Chief Yu of his business trip to Yuancheng.
It was almost noon when the two arrived in Yuancheng. Chai Ning made a phone call and said, "Secretary Ye, is Secretary Zhao's work schedule full today?"
Chai Ning called Zhao Liangquan’s secretary Ye Yunfei.
The reason why he did not call Zhao Liangquan directly, but chose to take a detour and call Ye Yunfei, was because if he called Zhao Liangquan directly and he was really busy and refused to meet, Chai Ning would have no way out.
Therefore, asking for directions, asking Ye Yunfei first is the best choice.
"Secretary Zhao's work schedule today is not too full. He should be in the office in the afternoon." Ye Yunfei said.
It can be heard from the phone call that Chai Ning and Ye Yunfei have a good relationship.
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Chai Ning dialed Zhao Liangquan's number and said, "Secretary Zhao, can I come see you in the afternoon?"
Chai Ning used completely different tones when calling them, which showed that Chai Ning was very familiar with their personalities and also knew when to use what tone of voice.
There was a burst of laughter on the phone, and then Chai Ning said a few good words, and the two hung up the phone.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a man to refuse a woman's request, especially a beautiful woman.
"Secretary Zhao agreed to meet?" Yu Chang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, agreed. And there will most likely be a drinking party tonight. How's your drinking capacity?"
Yu Chang said: "Barely enough."
"Okay, let's play it by ear tonight."
Chai Ning and Secretary Zhao made an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon. They set off from the hotel at 2:40 and arrived at the county government office at exactly 2:58. Chai Ning took out a mirror and took a look at it to confirm her makeup. , when we arrived at Zhao Liangquan’s office, it was just three o’clock.
In the officialdom, some people are very particular about what time the appointment is. It is best to arrive at that time. Even if you arrive early, it is best to wait outside.
And, no matter what your relationship with the other person is, never be late.
Chai Ning and Yu Chang walked into Secretary Zhao's office under the leadership of Ye Yunfei. As soon as they saw Chai Ning, Secretary Zhao immediately stood up and said, "Sister Chai, you are here."
Zhao Liangquan directly called "Sister Chai" in the office, and in front of Yu Chang and Ye Yunfei, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is indeed good.
Zhao Liangquan is the first full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee. His administrative level is director level and a member of the county party committee’s standing committee, ranking third in rank.
Ye Yunfei made tea for the two of them, closed the door and walked back to his office.
After Chai Ning and Zhao Liangquan sat down and exchanged some pleasantries, Chai Ning said, "Secretary Zhao, what's going on with that project now? Still can't reach a unified opinion?"
When it came to business, Zhao Liangquan also put away his smile, pretended to be the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and said: "The Standing Committee will meet next Monday. If there are no more different opinions, it is estimated that it can basically be decided."
Chai Ning said: "That's really good news."
Zhao Liangquan glanced at Yu Chang, and Chai Ning quickly explained: "Yu Chang, is specifically responsible for the Yuancheng market."
Zhao Liangquan understood and continued: "Don't be too happy. The Standing Committee has only preliminarily determined the amount of the leased equipment. As for the person who will advance the financing, as well as the product selection, etc., we cannot confirm it yet."
"Which funding party has greater hope?"
"Currently, it seems that Sunac Capital is more likely, but you also know that they have Ronglin Group behind them."
Zhao Liangquan's implication is that if Sunac succeeds in becoming a funder, Daoxuan Technology may not be able to benefit.
Chai Ning nodded and said, "Will a subcommittee be set up for product selection?"
Zhao Liangquan nodded and said: "Yes, one or two people will be transferred from the network security or network management centers of various agencies under the county government to form a product selection committee."
"Approximately how many people are there?"
"I'm not sure about this, but there should be more than ten people."
“Will subcontracting be considered for this project?”
Chai Ning's question was also what Yu Chang wanted to ask.
If subcontracting is not considered, Sunac Capital will first consider taking care of the company behind it, Ronglin Group, after becoming the party that advances funds. Then there will be nothing to do with Daoxuan Technology, unless there is someone on the special committee to support it and ask for subcontracting to reduce risks. , or the capital and the affiliated companies behind it cannot enter this project at the same time.
But Sunac Capital may not think so. If Sunac and Ronglin cannot enter the project at the same time, then the favorable conditions he offers to the county committee will inevitably be compromised.
If Sunac and Ronglin enter this project at the same time, they will become both referees and athletes. This is bad news for Daoxuan Technology without considering subcontracting.
"It's possible."
Chai Ning quickly took advantage of the victory and asked, "Did Secretary Zhao mention it at the meeting and subcontract this project?"
Zhao Liangquan glanced at Chai Ning and understood what she meant. He nodded and said, "I'll give it a try."
The reason why Chai Ning proposed subcontracting was to reduce the risk of the project. If Sunac Group took over, his efforts would have been in vain and he would have made wedding dresses for others for free.
But if it is subcontracted, then the interests must be balanced. Even if Ronglin Group does one of the packages, there will still be opportunities and possibilities to compete for the rest.
"The total amount should be basically determined, right?"
Zhao Liangquan sighed slightly and said: "This is the problem. The Standing Committee originally had different opinions, but now it has just formed a preliminary unified opinion. The project leasing will be divided into two phases, and 60 million will be invested in the first phase."
"How many years?"
"Five years."
After hearing the number and time, Yu Chang couldn't help but nodded. In five years, this number is basically no problem, and Yuancheng can barely afford it.
Zhao Liangquan glanced at Yu Chang, who was thoughtful, and asked with a smile: "This friend seems to agree with this number?"
Yu Chang knew that when his opportunity to speak had come, he had to seize the opportunity to speak, because the weight of this speech would directly affect his status and height in Zhao Liangquan's heart.
Yu Chang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The total capital is 60 million. If the contract is for five years, then I personally think this plan is feasible."
"Oh?" Zhao Liangquan twisted his body and said, "Tell me about it."
"Sixty million, calculated based on five years, is 12 million per year. Based on Yuancheng's financial expenditure, this number is barely acceptable, but if the amount is larger or the time is shorter, Yuancheng's finances will be tight."
"Yancheng is a large agricultural county. It cannot be compared with heavy industrial counties and cities. If it spends too much in advance, it is the Yuancheng government that will suffer in the end. The people are hard-working and the leaders are smooth. The leaders will leave after one or two terms. Therefore, if If we blindly pursue numbers and political achievements while ignoring the interests of the people, it will be the people who suffer in the end."
Secretary Zhao's eyes lit up at Yu Chang's words. He glanced at Yu Chang meaningfully and said with a smile, "Yes, the analysis makes sense."
"But you still missed something." Secretary Zhao added.
This time it was Yu Chang's turn to be confused.
Just listen to Secretary Zhao say: "The more money involved, the larger the amount, the more wasted. Reducing funds and building in two phases can avoid waste and use every penny wisely as much as possible. "
Yu Chang nodded, glanced at Chai Ning and continued: "Well, Secretary Zhao is right. Therefore, subcontracting, from some aspects, is for the purpose of balancing interests, but from Yuancheng's perspective, subcontracting is invisible. A competition mechanism among suppliers has been formed, which can well constrain manufacturers to provide qualified and excellent products, constrain suppliers to complete delivery with quality and quantity, and provide good after-sales service."
