Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 103 Return to Tai City
"Xiao Yu, what do you want a construction company for? Don't be so idle. Soybeans are the real business!"

"Leader, is building Water Margin Liangshan considered a serious matter?"

"Naturally."

"We are building Water Margin Liangshan with an initial investment of 20 billion yuan. If we outsource it, from building materials to construction, the price and quality will all be decided by others, but we are completely in the dark. I can't sleep well."

"..."

"You also know that most contractors dare to bid at a loss in order to win the project, just to steal here and there during the construction period to squeeze out profits."

The Jishui chief understood and asked, "You want a construction engineering company? Do you plan to do it yourself?"

"Taishi Road and Bridge Group has a large number of construction equipment, and your Jishui City Sanjian has full qualifications for general contracting. With the cooperation of the two parties, the scale will increase instantly. Even if we look at Dongshan, we can rank among the top three, which is enough to contract Shuibo Liangshan."

"The problem is that we don't have the talent when it comes to tourism development and antique architecture."

"If we don't have talent, we can poach talent. If we do it ourselves, the cost savings will be in the billions. But how much does it cost to introduce one talent in a year?"

"Right!"

"How about this, boss? I won't help you shoulder the 2.6 million yuan debt of Jishui City Third Construction. You can name a price for the transfer fee of the general contracting qualification."

"This……"

The so-called contracting qualification is actually equivalent to a threshold.

For example, Party A plans to build a building and dig a 10 cubic meter foundation pit and call it out to bid.

If you, a vegetable vendor, come and join in, saying that you can dig them and you do it very well, people will definitely not want them.

Because you don’t have a license and don’t meet the relevant regulations.

So you spend 500 yuan, get a certificate, and come to participate again, but they still don't want you.

Because your qualifications are too low and you don’t have a company.

In other words, our credit rating is not high enough so we dare not give you the project.

You thought about it, found 50 laborers from the village, raised another 200 million yuan, set up a company, and then went around and gave gifts worth 10 yuan.

This time they accepted it because your certificates and qualifications all meet the requirements.

Just when you thought the project belonged to you, Party A suddenly expanded the project volume, requiring them to dig a foundation pit of 100 million cubic meters, and kicked you out.

You go to someone to ask the reason, and they tell you that you are not qualified enough.

If you don't understand, you can only ask a professional for help.

So you know about the third-level earthwork construction qualification, the second-level earthwork construction qualification, and the first-level earthwork construction qualification.

You hold a level three qualification, but Party A now requires a level two qualification, and you must have 10 years of relevant construction experience.

You think about it carefully and realize that even if you invest tens of millions, it is impossible to upgrade your level.

So you took the villagers and killed the earthwork boss in the neighboring area, and acquired the other party's first-class earthwork construction company.

Then find Party A again.

This time, they didn't say anything. Not only did they give you the 100 million cubic meters of earthwork project, they also increased the total project volume to 1000 million cubic meters.

You are happy and become the local big brother of earthwork.

But you find that the electrical construction of Party A's project is also very profitable.

So you find someone and decide to take it over.

Unexpectedly, people tell you that you are not qualified.

This time you understood, so you took the villagers out again, killed the big brother of the power construction company in the neighboring area, and acquired the other party's company.

Finally, you won the client's power construction project.

However, you soon discovered that installing scaffolding is also quite profitable, including waterproofing, labor, lifting, mechanical and electrical installation, etc.

You fought hard and obtained qualifications for 13 projects. After completing the general contracting procedures, you became the only general contracting company for construction projects in the local area.

But you soon find out that even though you are so awesome, you can’t contract roads and bridges, or even water conservancy projects or municipal greening projects…

Because I have no qualifications!

and so.

The so-called general contracting actually includes all the construction links of a project from scratch.

According to national regulations, these links require relevant qualifications.

And a single link, such as earthwork construction.

In fact, its qualifications are not valuable, and it costs at most three or five hundred thousand.

But if you string all the links together, including water, electricity, heating, labor, masonry, pouring, mechanical and electrical, etc., one would cost three or five hundred thousand, ten would cost three to five million, and twenty would cost tens of millions. The price of general contracting qualification would soar in an instant.

Moreover, when different qualifications are combined, the price will increase.

For example, general contracting of construction projects + general contracting of municipal utilities is equivalent to giving you connections with the city. The price will definitely be higher and easier to sell.

On the other hand, let’s look at Jishui City Sanjian.

Although its history is not as good as that of the "Engineering Brigade", the predecessor of Taishi Road and Bridge.

But Jishui was a large and powerful family, and even the city of Zao in the south was split off.

Therefore, it was responsible for the construction of Yanzhou Mine, Zaozhou Mine, Tengzhou City...

He also built the southern Shandong section of the Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Guangzhou railways, and dredged the Grand Canal several times.

Even the Jishui Zhifang military airport was built.

It can be said that it has full qualifications in multiple categories.

According to Yu Yang's estimation.

The first-class qualification of general contracting of construction projects is worth 1200 million yuan.
The first-level qualification of general contracting of water conservancy projects is worth 300 million yuan.
The first-class qualification of municipal public works general contracting was devalued to 200 million.
First-class qualification for general contracting of mining projects: 1000 million.
First-class qualification for general contracting of petrochemical engineering projects: RMB 2000 million.
First-class qualification for general contracting of power projects, RMB 500 million,
First-class qualification for general contracting of communication engineering, RMB 500 million...

Including the company shell, the maximum amount given to Jishui City is 5000 million.

Because in 99, neither the road and bridge construction nor the real estate industry took off, and now the review and supervision are not that strict, and even qualifications are not required.

The value of Jishui City Sanjian has also been severely reduced.

...

The Jishui chief's words did not count alone. The phone was silent for a long time. It seemed that he had discussed with many people before he spoke:
"How about this, Jishui City will forgive your 2.6 million debt, but after Jishui City Third Construction merges with Taishi Road and Bridge, the new company must be set up in Jishui City and still use the previous office building. In addition, you have to buy this building, including the land, and pay a total of 1.5 million."

How could Yu Yang not understand that Jishui was clearly trying to attract investment.

Moreover, after the new company was established, it was named "Jishui". When the news of the contract for Liangshanmarsh spread, Jishui would also be proud.

There is no harm in this for our family.

Of course, there is no benefit.

Let’s just consider it as a little sweet treat for our partners.

And for the boss...

With a 10 billion investment from Jishui City, they added a new Shuimar Liangshan project. I guess they would wake up laughing in their sleep. Why would they care about the Taishi road and bridge that they were planning to abandon anyway?

Yu Yang thought about it seriously and said, "Okay!"

"Then let's finalize this matter first, and then discuss the details of the transaction after the financial departments of both parties meet."

"no problem!"

Yu Yang hung up the phone and contacted Sanyuan Agriculture's Finance Department, asking them to take out 10 million yuan from Jishui City's 1.5 billion yuan and return it to Jishui City.

"So, am I taking your money, buying your things, and doing my business?"

……

The seventh day of the first lunar month.

Yu Yang arrived at the Taishi City compound on time to go to work after the New Year.

With so many things happening during the Chinese New Year, I always have to report to my backers.

Besides, I wasn’t able to move around during the New Year holidays, and I don’t know if the boss is unhappy about it.

A little later, the AMG Benz stopped beside two extended Hongqi cars.

Yu Yang got out of the car and the secretary from the boss's office came up to him immediately.

"Mr. Yu, you are here."

"Happy New Year, leader."

"You can't be a leader, just call me Xiao Chen."

"Brother Chen!"

"Hey, this name is intimate."

"What does a general manager do?" In front of his 'own people', Yu Yang naturally had to address the boss as the general manager, and not the deputy.

The office secretary shook her head. "It's still Dongyue Tourism Service Company's business. You know, the three major shareholders who invested in the company, Jinjiang International, Yinfeng Real Estate, and Tianhe Investment, are all more well-known than the other. Now that we've provoked all three of them, how can they be willing?"

"Are you here to call for punishment?"

"Not only that, Jinjiang International threatened to cancel the cooperation between Dongyue Scenic Area and their travel agency. It is said that Tianhe Investment is secretly suppressing listed companies in Thailand."

"So arrogant?"

"There are people behind this, and the city manager is also troubled by this."

“That’s actually a good thing.”

"Ok?"

"The Spring Festival has passed. The next peak tourist season is Qingming Festival and May Day. After Jinjiang International canceled its cooperation with us, we can find another travel agency, or even their competitor, and launch the 'group tour, free tickets' activity in this off-season, which will last until Qingming Festival."

"It's a good idea. Without ticket revenue, we can attract more tourists to spend money here."

Yuyang does not attach much importance to tourists' consumption during the off-season.

What he cares about is that those who go back to work and travel after the New Year are most likely big bosses.

As long as we can find a way to get the other party to go to Shiliying, we will have a chance to get investment.

With investment and by helping the other party build factories, our own soybeans can have a stable sales channel.

Yu Yang chatted with the office secretary all the way to the room next to the boss's office.

Sit on the sofa and take a rest.

Faintly, one could hear the conversation between Old Dong and a middle-aged man.

"Deputy Manager Dong, it was wrong for Dongyue Tourism Service Company to use the 20 billion project funds to speculate in stocks, but there was no need for both of you to get to this point."

"Boss Gu, I didn't care about the '20 billion to speculate in stocks' thing at all. I welcomed Dongyue Tourism Service Company back with open arms. I even entertained them for a whole day with good food, drinks and fun. But how did they do it? They hired someone to kill someone! Especially when the person they killed was a local up-and-coming entrepreneur."

The phone records between the chairman of Dongyue Tourism Service Company and the South Vietnamese killer have been found.

The killer's identity was also confirmed by the higher-level criminal investigation agency, and he was indeed a famous killer.

In this way, although the killer died and the person who assassinated Yu Yang was replaced by Wei Meng, it still could not change the fact that the chairman of Dongyue Tourism Service Company hired a killer to kill someone.

Moreover, after an overnight interrogation, it was found that the company's vice-chairman, general manager, deputy general manager, finance, etc., all knew about this.

The office secretary told Yu Yang the above information.

Yu Yang thought for a moment, "This Mr. Gu?"

"He was attracted by Manager Dong in the early years and invested in power equipment in our Tai City, but later the central enterprise Luneng Group came and squeezed him out. Manager Dong considered the difficulty of attracting investment and helped him invest in fiberglass. Unexpectedly, the central enterprise 'Oriental Building Materials' landed in Tai City and mainly engaged in fiberglass, which squeezed him out again. Manager Dong thought again and again and helped him set up a power transmission and transformation equipment company. Unexpectedly, the central enterprise Taikai Group was established..."

"..."

"In a fit of rage, Mr. Gu left for Jiangsu and Zhejiang despite Mr. Dong's attempts to retain him. He currently runs three companies in the industries that were previously squeezed out by state-owned enterprises: power equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, and fiberglass. His assets total 1 billion yuan."

"Good fellow, he was ruined by state-owned enterprises three times, but he immediately took off after escaping."

"He came here this time, probably on behalf of the shareholders of Dongyue Tourism Services, to serve as a lobbyist."

"How can Dong Zongguan spit out the meat he has already eaten?"

Yu Yang thought about it and sent a message to the AMG driver, Mayor Huang.

Then drink tea and wait.

The conversation with the boss was quite easy-going.

Mr. Gu even promised to invest 500 million in a project in Tai City.

Unfortunately, Mr. Dong's appetite has been enlarged by someone recently, and he is no longer satisfied with the "ten thousand" level.

Another ten minutes later.

The two ended their conversation.

The boss didn't see the guest off.

Mr. Gu opened the door, walked out, crossed the corridor and entered the parking lot.

Then he looked up at the AMG Mercedes-Benz and the two extended Hongqi RVs.

Then he got into the Crown sedan and drove out of the city compound.

Walked about a thousand meters.

While waiting for the red light, a Steyr dump truck stopped next to the Crown.

next moment.

A thick steel plate was lowered from the rear of the Steyr car to form a slope.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight strong men jumped down, pushing small carts.

These small cars supported the Crown chassis like a jack, lifted it slightly, and then pushed the Crown car up the ramp and loaded it into the Steyr carriage.

"Dudu..."

The Crown driver honked the horn frantically, but the Steyr had already started.

……

Thai City Compound.

The disappearance of the Crown car did not attract anyone's attention.

Yu Yang also met the boss.

"Leader, Happy New Year."

"Why don't you come to my house for the Spring Festival?"

"I'm busy. I'm busy with soybeans, busy with planning Water Margin Liangshan, busy with seeking investment from Jishui City, and busy with setting up a company to contract Water Margin Liangshan."

Yu Yang said, placing the jade bracelet on the desk, "On the way here, I passed by a roadside stall and thought this one was pretty good. I'll buy it for 50 yuan. Would you like to take a look?"

Mr. Dong has seen a lot. When he saw the quality of the jade bracelet, he immediately knew it was worth a lot of money. "I used to like this and donated all of them recently. You should donate this one too. Pingyang County happens to be building a Hope Primary School. I estimate that if I auction it off, I can exchange it for more than a dozen."

"As long as you're happy."

"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here?"

"I want the Taishi Road Bridge."

"Ok?"

"The First and Third Municipal Construction Projects have been demolished, leaving only the Second Municipal Construction Project. I plan to use it to contract for Shuibo Liangshan."

"The road and bridge company only has road and bridge qualifications, not construction engineering qualifications, nor building qualifications."

In construction projects, buildings that can be inhabited are called structures, while buildings that cannot be inhabited are called structures.

The qualifications required for the two are also different.

Yu Yang said, "I persuaded the chief steward of Jishui to take out Jishui City Sanjian and merge it with Taishi Road and Bridge, but the headquarters will be set up in Jishui City."

"no!"

"..."
