Chapter 268: A Position that Costs Money
Then, Tao Ting dialed Ding Qiaohe's phone and said, "Ding Gong, the person in charge of reviewing Western Architecture's landscaping project must be you. I have no objection, but there absolutely cannot be only one person handling this matter."
Ding Qiaohe replied: "There are still some people who are cooperating."
Tao Ting asked again: "Who is the person in charge of the bid clearance report for the three bid sections of your garden landscape project now?"
Ding Qiaohe promised cautiously on the phone: "Mr. Tao, the company is a little short on manpower right now. For the time being, I am in charge of those three bids."
Tao Ting asked again: "Aren't you the on-site contact person for this entire project? If you are responsible for the bid clearance work of these three bid sections, will you arrange for others to cooperate?"
Ding Qiaohe replied: "The company has arranged for people to cooperate."
Tao Ting then asked: "It has been arranged? Then tell me who has been arranged to cooperate with which bids?"
Ding Qiaohe replied: "The specific list of personnel has not been given to me yet. I will report it to the company and send it to you after the list is made."
Tao Ting agreed: "Yes. Also, you must prepare a work progress plan for the cost business you are taking over now. Our company leaders are also more concerned about this."
Ding Qiaohe replied: "Okay."
Tao Ting asked: "Can your progress payment review be completed as planned?"
Ding Qiaohe replied: "I just contacted him this morning. It is expected that the review will be completed in one or two days."
Tao Ting replied: "Okay, this matter must not be delayed. The construction side is keeping a close eye on this matter now, and will not arrange to rush the work if they cannot get the money. In this case, the leaders will also attach great importance to this matter and pay special attention to this matter. You Let me make it clear to your company that this progress review must be carried out as quickly as possible, and it must be done in advance and not delayed.”
Ding Qiaohe replied: "Okay, Mr. Tao, don't worry, I will definitely convey your company's request to the company leaders, and it will not delay the work arrangements for the project."
Tao Ting replied: "That's good. Please hurry up and make arrangements. Bye."
After finishing the call with Ding Qiaohe, Tao Ting said to Zhang Yunqing: "I have arranged for the cost consulting company to review the progress payment. You should also follow up."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Well, okay. Thank you Mr. Tao for your support."
After Zhang Yunqing said goodbye to Tao Ting, he returned to the business office of the Nanshan Project Department.
Zhao Manfu called Zhang Yunqing again and asked him to go to his office.
Zhang Yunqing arrived at Zhao Manfu's office and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Manfu asked: "I heard that you went to find Tao Ting, so I asked you to come over and ask, what was the result?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "The high-level communication between the two sides has been confirmed, the information has been conveyed to them, and the meanings of the two of us are consistent upon verification."
Zhao Manfu said: "That's great. If this problem is solved, the problem of robbing workers and funds will be completely solved."
Zhang Yunqing continued: "Mr. Tao, he even called Mr. Ding of the cost consulting company face to face and asked them to ensure that the progress review work must be completed on time, only in advance, and no delay is allowed."
Zhao Manfu replied: "It seems that the owner has figured it out. As long as the payment is not made in time, the construction company will not be able to advance more money to arrange rush work."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "It should be like this. After the cost review is completed, the project payment can be paid to the general contractor in almost a week."
Zhao Manfu said: "It will take at least a few days for the general contractor to pay us."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "You shouldn't take this job after a few passes. I guess this is not the only trouble."
Zhao Manfu replied: "It is not up to us to decide whether to accept or not. The company has dedicated people to handle these matters. As the production department, we are only responsible for completing the corresponding production tasks."
Zhang Yunqing agreed: "Okay.
These things that we can't decide, just treat them as small talk and ignore him.
Today I went to see Mr. Tao and asked about the Fixed Asset Investment Management Regulations. She said that she didn’t have one either.
However, she promised to help find colleagues from the department where the contract was originally signed, and she would tell us after she understood the situation. "
Zhao Manfu replied: "The matter of a document is so complicated."
Zhang Yunqing smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, I don't know which management link caused the problem."
Zhao Manfu asked again: "Is there any big progress in the work of the cost consulting company?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "At the cost consulting company, currently only the progress payment review is really arranged and there is progress.
However, based on the current understanding of the situation, work such as the review of the standard clearance report is probably not well arranged. "
Zhao Manfu said: "I understand. Everything in engineering is complicated and difficult to do. There is no particularly simple thing waiting for us to do. You and the people in your business department must develop this patience and deal with it every day calmly. All kinds of problems encountered.”
Zhang Yunqing nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell Li Xixuan and Yu Danzhen about your requirements and suggestions when the time is right."
Zhao Manfu said: "Are you okay?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "There is also a small internal matter. I arranged for Yu Danzhen to ask the name of the material purchasing king and seedling purchasing Yu Shengjie to see if they have any tenders in the near future.
My original intention is that if they invite a tender, I want to get the list to inquire about the price. During the tender process, I will arrange for a company to participate in the bidding through my channel.
Avoid being directly arranged by them to rig bids. "
Zhao Manfu replied: "Your idea is okay. I also support it. This can better safeguard the interests of the company.
It’s just that we are all new here, so it may not be easy to achieve.
Can they tell you whether there will be any tenders in the near future? "
Zhang Yunqing replied: "The answer Yu Danzhen got now is that there will be no bidding in the near future.
However, I have some doubts. The owner is constantly increasing the scope of our construction, so how can there be no bidding at all. I feel a little weird.
Maybe others just don't want me to find the right suppliers to bid on. "
Zhao Manfu replied: "This possibility is too great.
If you think about it, the business people and material procurement people are all people who have spent hundreds of years recruiting.
Purchasing is just a position that costs money, and many people can do it.
At the same time, this position is very important, so naturally the leaders want to arrange their own people to occupy this position.
I feel that if you are just starting out, it will definitely be difficult to arrange extra people to participate in the bidding. "
Zhang Yunqing replied: "It won't work without arrangements. You should think about it."
