The two of them sat down and I introduced the company truthfully and prepared to bid for the project. Xia Qing was very patient and asked many questions from time to time, which I answered one by one.

“Mr.

More than me."

Xia Qing felt puzzled and also had strong curiosity.

"Bid deposit? Mr. Qian, I don't understand!"

“Mr.

Bid rigging, think about it! If you find 3 companies to bid on a project worth 3 million, the deposit is 450,000, and 5 companies are 600,000. They are all done by the company, charging 4-5 cents of interest. Projects worth tens of millions are either more, or they earn interest.

As for the fees, I am affiliated with the company to collect the tender document fees, I earn the quotation fees, and my friend earns the deposit interest fees, and we each get what we need.”

Xia Qing was a smart man and understood immediately after hearing it. He raised his head and asked again, "If you don't win the bid, you will have to step down. What if you win the bid? There is a risk."

I shook my head and said, "There is no risk at all. The rules are that if you don't win the bid, you will be returned to the original route. Whoever transfers the account to the company will transfer the account to the company. The interest will be paid first. The normal bidding process takes more than 20 days. The interest will be settled on a monthly basis. If it exceeds one month,

Settled in two months."

"Mr. Qian, the bidding deposit is pretty good and there is no risk. Next time you ask me to provide funds, I don't want so much. I will share one-third of the interest costs with you. I am also interested in bidding. How do you plan to digest the winning bid?"

?”

Xia Qing was very serious. While talking, he was still recording on a blank piece of paper.

“Mr.

Half and half! What do you think?"

"Then Mr. Qian, how do you measure the cost of construction capital? How do you measure the profit of the project? I don't understand this."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia! I am absolutely professional. We will use 20% of the contract price as construction working capital, and calculate the profit based on 20% of the contract price. You will arrange people on site, participate in project management, and control the financial situation! We are fair and just

,public!"

"I can accept this! It can be seen that Mr. Qian has rich experience in this industry, and you were introduced by Cai Xin, so I trust you!"

"Yes, I also trust Cai Xin, so I have one thing to say, I do things first as a villain, then as a gentleman."

"That's how it should be! I agree, I'll go back and think about it!"

The first contact between the two parties was very pleasant.

That night, Xia Qing returned to Liuzhou.

I also feel the seriousness of Xia Qing's work. The deposits for the next few business bids were all deposited from Xia Qing's account. The financial involvement was not large, not more than 300,000. Xia Qing also kept his promise and returned one-third of the interest income.

to my account.

The Suzhou cultural project started, and two companies were affiliated (worrying about scrapping bids). Xia Qing also remitted the 600,000 bid deposit in time.

As a result of the bidding, the project was not successful, less than a month before the 2012 Spring Festival.

At 3 p.m., Xia Qing called me.

"Mr. Qian, it's been 25 days since the bid deposit was paid. Hasn't it been returned?"

"Oh, Mr. Xia, may I ask about the situation right away?"

"It's the New Year's holiday tomorrow."

I know that Xia Qing obviously has some concerns, but I am not worried. This is a business rule. If I type in my account, I should get it back in time.

I immediately contacted the bidding agency, and the agency told me that there was no need to worry. There was a financial process. If I didn't refund today, I would have to refund after working next year.

I can only explain.

“Mr.

Xia Qing is still reasonable.

"Okay! I'm not in a hurry to use it, just next year! I can't help it, I understand! Just pay attention!"

At 4.25 pm, I suddenly received bank card information and two 300,000 yuan arrived. Without hesitation, I immediately transferred the money to Xia Qing.

After the year-end distribution, I took my wife Ziyu and my son back to Ziyu’s hometown to celebrate the New Year.

At the age of twenty-eight, Cai Xin suddenly called me.

"Happy New Year, Lao Qian! Where did you celebrate the New Year this year? Did you go back to your hometown?"

"We're in Jinzhai. Happy New Year!"

"Come to Liuzhou during the Spring Festival. Mr. Xia thinks highly of you! Mr. Xia and I are together. Mr. Xia and his wife specially invite you to take your wife and son to Liuzhou during the Spring Festival!"

I readily agreed.

"Okay! I'm going to play for a few days. My wife has never been to West Lake. I wish you a happy New Year!"

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family went to Liuzhou. Xia Qing and his wife gave them a warm welcome. In addition to Cai Xin, there was also a classmate of Xia Qing who accompanied them.

Cai Xin stood up after having enough wine and food.

"Have you finished your meal? Let's go and play cards at your house. Is Mr. Xia okay?"

Classmate Xia Qing also stood up,

"Yes, this is the first time Mr. Qian has come! You have to explain it well!"

Xia Qing was also happy, smiling and pulling me along,

"Okay! Will Mr. Qian play Liuzhou Mahjong? Go to my house. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, you take it away."

When Cai Xin saw someone responding, he laughed.

"Mr. Qian is old in Liuzhou, you may not be able to beat him!"

Xia Qing was very excited. In front of his wife, he took out ten thousand yuan from his bag and gave it to me. He said with a smile: "Let's go, Mr. Qian. They are screaming fiercely. Let them cry later."

"I won't go. I have money and I can play mahjong. Cai Xin was always defeated by me before, so don't fight! My understanding is that friends don't gamble!"

Cai Xin insisted,

"Mr. Qian, if you don't go on the road, you will be missing one of the three! How hurtful! If you don't give me face, you know why Mr.

Does the king have any opinions?"

"I'll let him do whatever he wants, I have no objection!" Ziyu explained.

I said plausibly.

"If you really don't want to fight, we will fight. It doesn't matter if we win or lose for no more than 1,000 yuan. If we fight big, I have my principles. It doesn't matter whether I lose or win. But if it's big, it does matter. Besides, you guys drank too much and I am sober. If I win,

I don’t feel at ease anymore, Mr. Xia, I really don’t want to fight!”

Sister-in-law Xia heard what I said was reasonable, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian is right, don't fight if there are too many. Xia Qing, Mr. Qian still takes his son with him, don't force it. Cai Xin, you have to go to the chess and card room.

We are also going home."

No one insisted anymore and everyone said goodbye.

After the Spring Festival, Xia Qing and his wife also went to Hezhou for a day. I treated them warmly. Soon, Qian Xia's cooperation officially began.
Chapter completed!
