Yang Chen saw Tai Man's firm attitude, so he had no choice but to follow Tai Man's instructions and contact the responsible persons of the other two qualified companies. As expected by Yang Chen, both of them stated that they were currently engaged in projects and did not have the capacity to prepare bids.
Finally, after much persuasion from Yang Chen, he found out that both companies wanted to participate in the government's Ling River Project. However, the head of United Construction Company, Fei Bin, had hinted to them that the Ling River Project would only be awarded to United, so they should not waste their efforts.
Tai Man heard from Yang Chen and said with a gloomy face, " Ling River Project will only be handed over to United? How come I, as the person in charge of Ling River Project, didn't know about this? You help me arrange a meeting with the leaders of both companies, and I will personally talk to them."
After work that day, Yang Chen brought Tai Man to the Four Seas Tea House, where the heads of Eight Directions Road Bridge company, Qiao Jiancai, and the head of Hongda Engineering Limited Engineering Company, Zhao Hongda, were already waiting in the private room of the tea house.
"County Chief Tai, Secretary Yang!" Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda stood up to greet Tai Man and Yang Chen as they entered the private room.
Yang Chen introduced to Tai Man: "Leader, this is manager Qiao from Eight Directions Road Bridge company, and this is Zhao Zong from Hongda Engineering. Both manager Qiao and Zhao Zong used to work in the mines in their early years. Relying on the connections and experience accumulated in the mines, they established their own companies and made significant contributions to the construction of our Hualin."
"Secretary Yang is being too modest. What we are doing are just some trivial matters. The development of Hualin still relies on County Chief Tai to guide the way for Hualin."
After exchanging pleasantries, the few people took their seats.
Tai Man took a sip of tea, set down the cup, and said, "Manager Qiao, General Zhao, Secretary Yang should have already informed you of the purpose of my visit, right?"
Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda nodded.
"Are the two bosses still insisting on not participating in the bidding?"
Qiao Jiancai looked embarrassed and said, "County Chief Tai, it's not that we don't want to participate in the bidding, it's that we don't want to waste our time for nothing, and offend Fei Bin in the process..."
Tai Man saw Qiao Jiancai hesitating to speak and added, "Are you afraid of offending County Magistrate Guo?"
Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda lowered their heads and drank their tea, tacitly agreeing.
" County Magistrate Guo as the Deputy County Magistrate of Hualin, I will not intervene in your normal business competition, I can assure you of that. What does it have to do with offending Fei Bin due to your competition with United? If you are always afraid of him, you will always be suppressed by United. Are you willing to accept that?"
Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda naturally refused to accept it. They have been in the construction business earlier than Fei Bin. It was only because of his brother-in-law's connections in the county that Fei Bin was able to secure a large number of government projects and build up United.
Yang Chen urged the two to express their thoughts, saying, " manager Qiao, Manager Zhao, the county chief specifically invited you out here to give you peace of mind. I understand your concerns, but with Fei Bin backing you and the county chief supporting you, as long as your actions are reasonable and legal, County Chief Tai can guarantee that no one from the government will dare to trouble you."
Zhao Hongda struggled with his expression and hesitated for a moment before saying, "County Chief Tai, Zhao Secretary, to be honest, we also want to fight, but we are worried. Even if you can support us now, what about when you leave? County Magistrate Guo and I both live in Hualin, but your roots are not here. In a couple of years, when you are gone, if County Magistrate Guo brings up old issues again, who can we turn to for support?"
Zhao Hongda's words left Tai Man speechless, as she truly could not stay in Hualin for long; she could not deceive them against her will.
Seeing that Tai Man had no response, Yang Chen felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. She was indeed going to leave sooner or later!
Yang Chen poured tea for several people, "Have some tea first. manager Qiao, your road and bridge company has almost been unable to secure government projects in recent years, and it's almost unable to sustain, right? Zhao Zong, your company's situation is a bit better, but you can only take on projects outside of Hualin County, which significantly increases the company's operating costs, with almost no profit."
Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda nodded with bitter smiles, both companies are supporting a large number of equipment and workers, barely holding on.
"Since that's the case, what are you still afraid of? You've been pushed to a dead end, there's nothing left to lose. Instead of waiting for bankruptcy, why not take a gamble and break the existing pattern. If you lose, it's just an early release; if you win, it's equivalent to breaking the monopoly of United on the construction project in Hualin County, and both of your companies will have a way out."
Yang Chen's words made Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda lift their lowered heads, radiating a glow.
Tai Man saw the two people becoming more lively and said, "Secretary Yang is right. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take a risk and gamble. I can't guarantee to give the project to either of you, but I can guarantee a fair competitive environment. I came to see you today to break the so-called unwritten rules in the current construction industry in Hualin County and allow all companies to compete and develop."
"County Chief Tai, you won't really leave us behind, will you?" Qiao Jiancai asked worriedly.
Zhao Hongda also has this worry, "County Chief Tai, if you don't stand behind us, we will offend Fei Bin and County Magistrate Guo, and we will have no way out. If the industrial and commercial, tax, and fire departments take turns to visit us, we will really be finished."
"Don't worry." Yang Chen reassured the two, "If County Chief Tai hadn't made up her mind, why would she meet with you? And County Chief Tai is different from those leaders in the officialdom. She is enthusiastic and genuinely wants to do things for Hualin, unlike those old hands."
"Okay, then we'll follow the county magistrate's lead and go back now to prepare the tender document." Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda exchanged a glance and made the decision.
Tai Man reminded, "There are only two days left until the bid deadline. You must submit the tender document before the deadline."
After Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda left, Yang Chen and Tai Man also headed home.
Yang Chen spoke up, saying, "Leader, by doing this, you have offended County Magistrate Guo. As far as I know, County Magistrate Guo is not a forgiving person."
"What do you mean by that? Is there really some connection between him and Fei Bin?"
"Whether there is a connection between them is only clear to Fei Bin and County Magistrate Guo themselves. How could outsiders know?" Yang Chen also couldn't give a definite answer.
old cadre once secretly had the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate the relationship between County Magistrate Guo and Fei Bin, but nothing was found.
"When you have time later, go and pull out the government's construction projects from these years. I want to see if our Deputy County Magistrate really handed over the projects to his nephew-in-law through his connections."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "There's no need for County Magistrate Guo to intervene in this matter. The people below will proactively hand the project over to United. Don't waste your time. Our top priority is to do a good job on the Ling River Project and make a strong start for your political achievements in Ling River!"
