Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1286 Bribery
Du Shiyang said puzzledly: "Hasn't it started yet? Why don't you let us touch it?"

So, I told Du Shiyang what Xia Tian said to me again, and Du Shiyang laughed loudly and said, "Are you a jerk? But you don't look like a jerk from your looks? You don't have the capital!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "Why do I have no capital? Although I am not handsome, I am a dazzling star among the crowd!"

We chatted and laughed for a while, and Du Shiyang asked me seriously: "You really don't mind, do people say you eat soft rice? Do you say you are a bad boy?"

I said sincerely: "I have lived so long? I still care about what others say about me. It is a waste of life! I have passed the age of seeing others' eyes!"

Du Shiyang nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's why I like your... character! It's real enough! What a villain, sometimes quite cute!"

I interrupted her and said, "They are now [-]% sure that this project is okay! Next, what we have to do is to fan the flames!"

Du Shiyang couldn't bear it and said: "Should we remind them? There is no reason, let them be fooled like this! Is this money given to liars like this? It's always a bit embarrassing!"

I hurriedly said: "They are not greedy, so of course they won't be fooled! I didn't let them be fooled! Instead, they didn't give us a chance at all, and they settled the project by themselves. If the project is real, although we have nothing to lose, But don’t you hate them for missing such a good project? It’s very unkind for them to do this! Now that the project is fake, we naturally have no obligation to deal with them!”

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "That's true! Their actions are indeed too domineering, and it's not a glorious thing to find someone to play tricks on you!"

I hummed and said: "That's right, so, don't be kind to women! It's not that we lied to them, I just expected it early in the morning! Besides, I'm just guessing, what if it's not what I think? People can still do it deliberately for me, not letting them do this project, kindness has to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Du Shiyang tasted it and thought it made sense, and besides, she really didn't like Xia Tian very much, so she asked, "Then how can we fan the flames?"

I smiled and said, "It's not easy, let's pretend to rob!"

Du Shiyang snorted and said, "Why are you pretending?"

I giggled and said, "It's the kind of pretense that only yells and doesn't pay!"

Early the next morning, we hurried to the housing and construction office, and met the leader who received us last time, who was still as enthusiastic as ever, and even found a small room to receive us.

The leader briefly introduced the situation: "Currently, there are 14 companies applying for bids for this project, 10 of which were invited by us. After our review, we finally confirmed that 7 companies meet our bidding standards! Because of the competition It's more intense, so we raised the upper limit of the deposit, and at the same time, we also require each company to have a letter of guarantee of no less than 5000 million in the three major banks!"

I frowned and asked, "Didn't you just mention the security deposit? Why is there another bank guarantee?"

The leader said patiently: "The security deposit is paid into our project account, and we will refund it to you if you can start work normally. This bank guarantee is to guarantee the quality of your later-stage engineering projects, and all construction units , You must guarantee the wages of migrant workers. You are also very clear about this money. We cannot get it, but the bank keeps it on its behalf. It is a guarantee for the wages of migrant workers in case there is a problem with your funds! "

I smiled and said, "Regulatory funds, right? I understand, I understand!"

The leader nodded hastily and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is the supervision fund! When you complete this project, the funds will be automatically unsealed and returned to your company account. We will not handle this money!"

Du Shiyang looked at me, and then said to the leader, "When will the money be paid?"

The leader replied calmly: "The sooner the better, the deposit must be paid first, and then go to our designated bank to make a letter of guarantee. After the letter of guarantee is received, you can come to my place to register! I think Mr. Du, your company's opportunity It’s still relatively big, after all, it’s a big company! We can trust it, but the procedure still has to be the same as other companies! As far as I’m concerned, I’m more inclined to cooperate with you!”

Du Shiyang and I met each other with a smile, and Du Shiyang asked curiously: "How did I hear that this project has already been pre-determined?"

The leader was surprised at first, then looked out on purpose, and then said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense about this, you will make mistakes!"

I said, "Yes, yes! I just said, how could such a big project be decided by default!?"

Then, when the leader saw that we didn’t continue to ask questions, he became anxious first, and lowered his voice again and said: “Well... I can’t say it! You also understand that if some relationships can be used, they can still be used use!"

Du Shiyang snorted, and asked with interest, "Then what do you mean?"

The leader hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't mean anything! Everything is going according to the normal procedure!"

Seeing that the two of us stopped talking again, we were angry, and felt that we were so out of touch, so we couldn't ask a few words, and couldn't help but said: "You can't make it too obvious, but I can tell you some news. Tiansheng Construction Company has opened up the line between heaven and earth, and it is said that the internal and external relations are well done! They have a relatively high chance of winning the vote!"

I pursed my lips and said: "Since it's already like this, then we won't participate. If we participate, we will also study with the prince!"

The leader was anxious: "How can you just give up like this? For such a big project, you must spend some money to get through the relationship. Isn't this normal? Tiansheng Construction is a small company after all, how can they compare with your company?" What? They spend money, so you can spend it too! Let’s see who is willing to spend money!”

Such an official, he dares to say such things, either he is not afraid of death, or he is stupid, but I think he is neither!He is too greedy, and his acting is too fake!Of course, I won't expose him, but I just said lightly: "But we don't know the relationship inside! You don't know how to spend the money?"

The leader smiled and said: "If you two can trust me, I can be a middleman! I will operate it, and I guarantee that you will spend the money well!"

I asked curiously: "Then I don't know how much it is, so I can be more sure?"

The leader stretched out five fingers, and I said in amazement, "5? This..."

The leader pursed his lips and said, "50? What is 50 enough for? A few meals will be gone, 500 million! It must be in cash! They are more willing to spend money than you!"

I was dumbfounded and said, "500 million? Is it the same as the security deposit? This alone costs 1000 million, plus the bank guarantee is 6000 million? The project has not started yet, and you have to pay 6000 million. How do you do this?" what?"

The leader looked at me contemptuously and said: "It seems that Mr. Chen is still doing few big projects! You don't count, the profit in the later period? Tens of billions of projects, is it a big deal to invest such a small amount of money? The 500 million yuan is based on connections, and the rest of the money will not be returned to you! Now they have broken their heads and drilled into it, and there is no way out. I will point out the way for you. It depends on whether you dare to earn the money. Already!?"

I hesitated and said: "I have to think about this, this is not a small sum!"

The leader curled his lips in disdain, looked at Du Shiyang and said, "President Du, what's your opinion?"

Du Shiyang seemed to be a little moved and asked: "I will take out 500 million, can you make sure that this project belongs to me?"

The leader saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly said: "Leave it to me! The money is in place, and I will take care of everything!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said, "Then give me two days, after two days, I'll bring the money over!"

The leader rolled his eyes, and said with some embarrassment: “Two days? If you come late, money may not be useful!"

Du Shiyang said with a smile: "This business, I want to do it myself! It has nothing to do with our company, but it is really difficult for me to withdraw 500 million in cash all at once. Even if I go to the bank, it is impossible to raise it for you at once. With such cash coming out, there must be an explanation, right?"

When the leader heard that Du Shiyang wanted to take the money out by himself, he was even more overjoyed and said: "That's it, that's fine, I'll hold them back for two days, just two days, I can't do anything more!"

When we walked out of the small room, we happened to see Li Feng walking towards the leader, then he glared at me and said in front of the leader, "What are you doing here? Bribing the leader? You don't want this kind of unhealthy behavior!"

I sneered: "You're not talking about me, you're putting shit on the leader! This matter is big or small, you can't just talk nonsense!"

The leader also changed his face and said: "President Li, some jokes are too much, it's not good! Don't you see what the occasion is!?"

Li Feng looked around, no one noticed us here, and said to the leader with disdain: "Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters! I have to warn some people, accepting two tea gifts, but there will be accidents!" If the promised things are changed, this matter will become a big mess!"

The leader smiled embarrassingly, and then said to the two of us: "You two remember what I said, the sooner the better, but everything must go according to the regular procedure!" After speaking, he disappeared without looking back. In our field of vision.

Li Feng looked at me and said, "Stop doing useless work! If we can't accomplish this project, neither can you!"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's good if the fish dies and the net breaks! Anyway, we don't have much hope. If this is the case, I will make it impossible for any of you to do it! When the time comes, the bid will be cancelled, and we will start again!"

Li Feng's expression changed, knowing that I was not trying to scare him, he frowned, and didn't say anything to me, but went after the leader.

On the way back, Du Shiyang asked me: "Should we really send some money?"

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "You are stupid! We don't make money, just waste our time and spend money? That's impossible!"

Du Shiyang was also a little puzzled and said: "Yeah, since we can't make any money, are we still wasting our time here? Let's go! We won't participate in this game!"

I shook my head and said, "Who said there is no money to make? See how I make money for you! Again, if they are not greedy, we will let them go. If they are greedy, don't blame us!"

That night, Li Lei called me and wanted to have dinner with me.

I readily agreed and took Du Shiyang with me.

Seeing me coming with a beautiful woman, Li Lei thought it was the lover I was looking for there, so he didn't care, and even specially called two beautiful women to accompany him.

Many people have heard of the Northeast cuisine stewed goose in an iron pot. If you don’t pay attention to it in the countryside, you put the big iron pot on the stove and burn it under the firewood. Throw the big goose into the big pot and stew for three to five hours. , add some vermicelli, potatoes and the like to it, and then serve it on the table.

What Li Lei invited us to eat was stewed goose in an iron pot, but a kang was set up on the stove, and the iron pot was placed in the middle, and it was also a firewood, but we couldn't see it. The room was very warm, and the kang was very hot, and it was a little hot The buttocks are also covered with woolen mattresses and soft cushions, which are very comfortable.

Looking at the contents of the pot, it’s not just a big goose, there are also winter worms and ginseng in it. Golden, nothing special with peanuts and sausage.

After the pot was boiled, the aroma was tangy, and the waiter came up to grab a piece for each of us without doing it ourselves. Li Lei said hospitablely: "Eat it while it's hot. This big goose is domesticated. It's not a fake without any feed. You can eat it as soon as you eat it, they dare not lie to me, the geese here can fly, the meat is particularly muscular, not fat at all!"

I smiled and said, "Isn't that a swan? I, a toad, can eat swans today. It's not easy!"

Li Lei laughed loudly and said, "The swan next to you, haven't you already eaten it?"

Du Shiyang ignored his words at all, and concentrated on eating the big goose in the bowl. After finishing eating, he pointed to one of the pieces in the pot and asked the waiter to give it to her.

Li Lei hurriedly said to the waiter: "Don't do anything tonight, just show me this beauty's bowl. If the bowl is empty, you don't have to do it here anymore! Do you understand?"

The waiter nodded hurriedly, and really stared at Du Shiyang's bowl.

Li Lei turned his head and asked me: "The small fever here is also a must. Do you want to try it, but the degree is a bit high!"
