Chapter 194 Tired(1/2)
Chapter 194 Boredom
However, Shuiyangge promised that the losses suffered this time will be made up for by these two companies in the future.
Elder Fu said to Jin Ziming:
"Great Elder, the biggest opponent in this project is still Haichuan Sect.
The customers are divided into two groups. Most people support us, but the highest level supports Haichuanmen."
"That's still very dangerous."
"Haha, Yaohui Chamber of Commerce tried to tamper with the bidding documents specifications.
The elder in charge of the bidding document deliberately contacted Haichuanmen and made most of the terms exactly correspond to the specifications of its products.
In this way, they can get full marks in these places, which makes Haichuanmen, agents and customers who support them very satisfied.
But these people did not notice that in an inconspicuous place, it was marked:
If the bid product exceeds the specified indicators, additional points will be awarded.
We have calculated it, although Haichuanmen’s score in some terms will be higher than ours.
But with the extra points, we can still win on the total."
Two days later, the bidding for this huge project was finally opened.
Shuiyang Pavilion successfully received the highest score. What surprised Jin Ziming was that there was no sub-bid.
The top management of the client did not overpower the majority of people at the scene demanding respect for objective ratings, and announced that Yaohui Chamber of Commerce would be the exclusive winner of the bid.
Shuiyangge became the only big winner.
The branches and headquarters have been involved in carnival. This is the largest project Shuiyangge has ever won in the distribution market.
The next day, as usual, the branch of the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce Alliance in Zhongshengzhou announced the winning bid results.
Just when Shuiyangge was extremely excited and started to think about surveying and stocking up, a bolt from the blue struck.
Elder Fu, whose eyes were bloodshot, found Jin Ziming and said bitterly:
"Great Elder, I just received the notification.
Haichuanmen complained that the intermediary agency responsible for this tender had management and operational negligence.
It is requested that the original bid winning result be revoked and the bid be re-invited.”
For such large projects, customers generally do not solicit bids themselves, but entrust a third party to carry out the bidding.
Elder Fu immediately convened a meeting to check the Haichuanmen complaint letter one by one.
They found that there was nothing wrong with the bidding agency, so they decided to counter-sue, suing Haichuanmen for making things up out of nothing.
The Zhongshengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance looked at the complaint letters from the two companies, carefully verified them, and announced them again, maintaining the winning bid results of the previous round.
Shuiyang Pavilion and Yaohui Chamber of Commerce were immediately overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, a day later, Haichuanmen counterattacked again, and actually complained to the Zhongshengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Cultivation Alliance at the same time.
This is unprecedented, because the Cultivation Alliance almost never interferes in the mining machine business.
Of course, it is undeniable that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is still controlled by the Cultivation Alliance to a certain extent.
This time, the lawsuit was no longer about the bidding agency, but about questioning the bidding qualifications of Yaohui Chamber of Commerce, believing that it did not meet the project requirements.
Jin Ziming couldn't leave for a while and had to meet with clients every few days to communicate, clarify and publicize between the two major alliances.
The headquarters of Shuiyangge and Haichuanmen are not idle either. No one is willing to give up on such a big project.
The two sides began to compete at the headquarters of the two alliances. With the support of the highest-level customers and the Cultivation Alliance, Haichuan Sect showed its advantage.
The client claimed that they needed to re-examine their requirements, and the project was successfully "on hold".
Everyone in Shuiyang Pavilion was very anxious, and they knew in their hearts that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be.
Jin Ziming could not stay here for a long time. After he returned to Fuyingcheng, this huge project was delayed for more than three months.
Then, the client suddenly reissued a bid, and the bid changed quite a bit.
They require each agent to respond to the bid within four days, and the results will be announced directly after the bid opening on the fifth day.
The Danxiang City branch quickly contacted the headquarters and Jin Ziming, reauthorized Yaohui and three other chambers of commerce, and agreed on bids respectively.
But this time, they overlooked a major issue.
Before bidding, in order not to expose the chamber of commerce that ultimately supports it, everyone often releases a lot of smoke bombs to confuse opponents.
However, after the last round of bidding, the agents that each faction really supported have been completely exposed in broad daylight and turned into bright lights.
During the public bidding session on the fifth day, Elder Fu sat in the audience.
He was stunned to see that the price quoted by Yaohui Chamber of Commerce was much higher than the price agreed upon by both parties.
Obviously, during the period of delay in the project, the Yaohui Chamber of Commerce rebelled.
As expected, Haichuanmen’s gold medal agent successfully won the project.
Of course Elder Fu and others were not convinced. They wanted to learn their opponent's rogue moves and complained to disrupt the situation.
However, those who originally supported Shuiyangge among the customers came to issue an ultimatum:
"Elder Fu, stop fussing, there is no possibility of any change, this is the final result.
You should take a long-term view, as there will be other opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Elder Fu only wanted to curse people, thinking that even the basic trust was gone, and there was no possibility of cooperation.
The Shuiyangge headquarters was forced to accept this bitter ending, but demanded that the reason why Yaohui changed the price before the battle be found out.
After many inquiries, we finally found out the whole story:
Shortly before the second tender, the highest level of the client secretly met with the boss of Yaohui Chamber of Commerce.
After a tacit and friendly conversation, the latter was welcomed to "try to participate" in a very "promising" medium-sized project in half a year.
Looking at the project summary sent by the Danxiang City branch, Jin Ziming suddenly felt intense boredom, even disgust.
A lot of precious time in my life has been wasted by the intrigues in the distribution market.
My uncle is suffering in the black prison, and he needs to improve his swordsmanship, but he is still entangled with these "junk".
Do you usually flatter each other or deliberately flatter each other, but do you have to swallow your anger after being teased?
With his temperament, he would have to kill anyone who dared to play tricks on him before he could understand his mind.
After more than 50 years of working in the industry, he questioned his original choice for the first time, and the beliefs he had upheld began to waver.
Why not pursue pure martial arts and give up these intrigues?
Jin Ziming couldn't help but ask himself, what kind of person is he?
He is also very contradictory. In the past, he enjoyed the feeling of commercial success without falling behind in his spiritual practice. Judging from the results, he is almost invincible at the same level.
Such confusion is not suitable for spiritual practice and business management at all.
Jin Ziming understood that he had to stop and look at the road under his feet again.
The annual leave for the past five years has not been used. It is just a good time to take my dyeing clothes and go to the mountains and rivers to understand life and regain my true heart.
Let your mind be clear and clear, no longer stained.
He first wrote a letter to his fiancée, telling her his confusion.
Ask her if she has time to go for a walk with you.
If there is any place you particularly want to visit, you can accompany her to see it.
Ye Ranyi replied promptly and asked him to meet at Ye's house and then go sightseeing together.
Jin Ziming was overjoyed. He had asked Xu Ganqing for leave before, and his request for leave was naturally approved immediately.
Four days later, Jin Ziming set off on his journey. When he arrived at Ye's house, he found that Ranyi had just arrived.
The two of them went to visit their elders together. In the evening, the patriarch returned from the Taoist temple and organized a small family banquet to welcome the man.
"Zi Ming, in recent years, the name of 'Demon Sword' has become more and more famous.
I heard from the elders of the Taoist Foreign Affairs Hall that your reputation has spread to Yongli Realm."
"Alas, Patriarch, I am now in the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir, and have not even reached the peak. I am a standard low-level monk, and I still have a long way to go.
It's not a good thing to be famous now, I think it's better to keep a low profile so that you can live a long life."
"It's not easy for you to think so thoroughly at such a young age." The second elder smiled in approval.
"I'm not afraid of the elders' jokes. When I used the nickname 'Demon Sword', I really wanted to make my name more famous.
I'm worried that the Ye family won't let Ranyi marry an unknown person."
When he said this, everyone immediately became happy.
Ye Qingqin was more attentive and found that Jin Ziming was a little different from before, so he asked:
"Zi Ming, you frown, do you seem to have something on your mind?"
