Chapter 360 Unimaginable
After discussing with Director Li and Director Zhao , they also came to the conclusion that this route was not very reasonable, so they asked Chu Yang to call Expert Xin over and ask him to explain.
Director Zhao asked directly, "Xin Ping, everyone has some questions about the power line you designed. Why did you choose to go through Fanchuan and Wenhui City instead of Bu Tai in Bula? Doesn't this lengthen the distance and increase the difficulty? Can you explain whether you received money from the companies in Fanchuan City and Wenhui City?"
Chu Yang still likes Mr. Zhao's work style and his straightforward speech.
Xin Ping looked at Director Zhao and then Director Li in a panic, and then he calmly replied, "This is absolutely nonsense. I designed the route map completely according to your instructions and requirements, Director Li, and the interests of the company. I did not accept any benefits."
Director Li raised his eyes and said, "Tell me more about it."
Xin Ping: "First of all, as the largest power project in the national power industry, the West-to-East second phase in the future. The total length will span three provinces and cities, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers. Now the first section is in our Y Province and we are responsible for it, but the subsequent second phase will be the responsibility of the Blue Electric Bay Company. If we want to make a good start and make a little impact, the length of this line cannot be short, it must account for more than 50%, and the difficulty cannot be low. Only in this way can we keep the West-to-East Power Transmission Project in our Aiguowang. When others mention this 'West-to-East Power Transmission' project, they can think of us. Otherwise, we are well-behaved and simple, just paving the way for the Blue Electric Bay Company."
After listening to Xin Ping's words, Chu Yang seemed to be thinking about something. These words seemed unreasonable, but they seemed very reasonable to him.
After all, Blue Dian Bay Power Company and Aiguowang Company are the two giants in the power industry, and have always been in a life-and-death competitive relationship, although everyone is responding to the country's policies and working together for the West-to-East Power Transmission Project.
But both sides have their own calculations, and Mr. Li naturally does not want to make wedding dresses for others. He emphasized in the last meeting that it is necessary to achieve results, set an example, and build the best lines in the industry. He must hold the achievement of "West-to-East Power Transmission" in his hands.
To create a model, it naturally requires difficulty. Otherwise, who would care about an ordinary route?
So the people below naturally have to rise to the challenge, and even if there are no difficulties, they have to create some for themselves. Of course, you asked whether Comrade Xin Ping accepted money from the listed company. Chu Yang believed that he did, otherwise why would they go around in circles.
After listening to Xin Ping's explanation, Director Li was silent for a while, then turned to Director Zhao: "Old Zhao, what do you think?"
Mr. Zhao also replied: "I don't have any opinion, it's up to you, Mr. Li, to make the decision."
Director Li's nose twitched and he said, "How about this, we should bring the plan to the board of directors for discussion. Chu Yang, you go and notify them that this month's board meeting will be moved forward to tomorrow."
Chu Yang knew that this was because Director Li didn’t want to be caught by someone’s claws.
In fact, he has already acknowledged this matter.
But Chu Yang didn't quite agree. Who would benefit from such vicious competition?
It's just a waste of national resources.
The next day, the board meeting was held as scheduled.
After discussing other matters at the meeting, they finally returned to the issue of "West-to-East Power Transmission". After Mr. Li raised the issue, he let everyone discuss it.
Several directors seemed a little surprised that Director Li would bring up this matter for discussion. They glanced at each other, and then looked at Director Liu together. After his re-election, Director Li's majesty reached its peak, even higher than before.
Since Chairman Li's re-election, Chairman Liu has become much more restrained, keeping a low profile and being as calm and steady as a plate. Now in major meetings, he rarely speaks, but when he speaks, he is always the number one Li fan, and it seems that he is a loyal follower of Chairman Li.
No one dared to speak casually. They all wanted to understand Director Li's intentions first and then express their opinions. Therefore, several directors spoke ambiguously. They did not state the conclusion, and even if they did, it was the same as saying nothing.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Director Li asked again, "I've taken a look at this route, and it's not bad, but the difficulty is a bit high. I'm afraid it will waste a lot of resources." This actually expressed what Director Li meant.
Director Liu was very sensible and immediately expressed his opinion: "I think this plan is very good. Under your leadership, Director Li, our Aiguowang Company has become a national leader and a world leader in recent years. We naturally cannot lag behind others. If we want to do something, we must do it the best and show our Aiguowang style. Otherwise, we won't do it."
Mr. Liu spoke with great courage, making people feel that this is how things should be.
After Mr. Liu's speech, several other directors also came to their senses and expressed their opinions one after another. The meanings of all of them were basically the same, which was to support this approach. At the same time, they also complimented Mr. Li on his great cause and tremendous achievements.
Mr. Fan also followed Mr. Liu's line of thought and said, "Mr. Li, let me express my personal opinion. I think they can increase the investment. They have 4 lines, right? I think they can increase it to 8. We can just do it in one step to show the strength of our Aiguoxi company."
Chu Yang saw this harmonious board of directors and for some reason, he felt uneasy, but he couldn't say anything. Director Li was obviously very satisfied with the situation, so he slammed the table and made the decision.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Once the plan is finalized, the construction team must be determined.
Mr. Li has a Seiko Group under his command, but such a large project is definitely not something that Seiko alone can handle. Mr. Li asked about it that day, and Chu Yang provided a plan that could be implemented through bidding and subcontracting, which would be fairer.
Director Li accepted Chu Yang's proposal and actually said that Chu Yang and the Infrastructure Department would be fully responsible for the bidding.
What the hell.
Chu Yang was overwhelmed.
Somehow the outside power companies got wind of the news and rushed in to tackle the problem, wanting to take on the project.
So!
Chu Yang would receive some strange phone calls every day. The callers would not beat around the bush and would introduce themselves first, usually saying that they were the CEO of someone, and then they would really like to take over the power engineering project that had passed by.
They hoped that they could help, and they all solemnly promised that as long as they could get the project, they would give Chu Yang a huge kickback.
Chu Yang felt his blood boiling when he heard some shocking figures. They were too exaggerated.
This money is really easy to make.
Others work hard and earn only tens of thousands of yuan all year round, but you can earn millions just by nodding your head.
What's wrong with this society?
It's really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
