Considering that Chen Taizhong was not easy to deal with, Zhang Sui did not sit in the office and make phone calls. Instead, he rushed to Chaotian Daily while making phone calls. Even if Xiao Li refused to help, he had to ask two people who could talk.
People.
When Li Shilu received the call, he did not immediately express his position. He asked in detail what happened, and then said, "If it is really affected by market factors, I can call District Mayor Chen to find out."
"What else are you calling? Let's go together." As he said that, Mr. Zhang pushed away Reporter Li's office. He smiled and said, "He was injured recently. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"I heard that he was injured, and I was about to go see him." Li Shilu stood up with a smile. He was young after all and thought less, "I'm going to get some condolences. District Chief Chen has always taken good care of me...
, I’d be so embarrassed to go there empty-handed.”
"Follow me, why should you prepare a gift?" Mr. Zhang smiled slightly, "Just hit the road and there's no need to drive your Honda... But this time, you have to speak for me."
He was worried that Li Shilu would communicate with Chen Taizhong privately on the way
If Xiao Li turned back halfway, his time would have been wasted.
Although Li Shilu is simple, he is not stupid. After hearing this, he was slightly startled, "I said Mr. Zhang, Brother Taizhong has a bad temper. What you told me... is not artistically processed, right?"
"
"Absolutely no artistic processing." Zhang Sui shook his head decisively. He was still a little nervous in his heart. He didn't know how close Xiao Li was to Chen Taizhong, but suddenly he heard the other party say the three words "Brother Taizhong".
Then there was no hesitation anymore, "I just want to explain to him that a market economy must respect the laws of the market and cannot engage in planned economy."
"I very much agree with Mr. Zhang's words." Li Shilu nodded. He is a generation with relatively new thinking. He always feels that only the market economy can correctly reflect the relationship between supply and demand. It is calculated and determined..." That is indeed out of date and inhibits the imagination of society.
and creativity, "Don't worry, Brother Taizhong will listen to what he says."
"If you have the confidence to convince him, that's the best thing." Zhang Sui nodded with a smile, and then began to express his bitterness, "Actually, why don't I want to implement the contract? It's good for you, me, and everyone..." It's really a contract.
I can’t carry it out.”
It was really easy for Mr. Zhang to fool a young man. The two chatted all the way and arrived at Beichong before they knew it. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon and it was the hottest time.
Zhang Sui's car was a Desert King, followed by two Hondas, one of which belonged to Li Shilu. Reporter Li came with Mr. Zhang, but he always had to bring his own car - he had other interview tasks, but this was
Just ask Mr. Zhang to open it.
The three cars arrived at Beichong and went directly to the district hospital without any delay. However, District Chief Chen was not in the ward. After asking around, they came to the quiet courtyard at the back.
The yard is actually quite big, but the vegetation is quite lush. There are patients in twos and threes, resting under the shade of the trees, and some people play chess with a chessboard, but it is quiet. This is a hospital after all.
Li Shilu took a quick glance and spotted a man leaning in a wheelchair. He took a few steps forward and was about to speak. The little girl next to him who was fanning the patient stopped and came over and spoke in a lowered voice, "What are you going to do?"
He is sleeping."
"Little sister, Brother Taizhong and I are acquaintances." Li Shilu smiled slightly and raised his hand to rub her nose, "Is he really asleep?"
"If you want to call him brother, you have to call me sister-in-law." The little girl stepped back to avoid his slight touch.
o, speak seriously.
"Da Ni'er, don't be ridiculous." Chen Taizhong couldn't bear her harassment and was pretending to sleep. When he saw that Yang Da Ni'er actually wanted others to call her sister-in-law, he couldn't stand it anymore and burst out laughing, "I haven't saved enough to marry yet."
Where is your betrothal gift? Corruption will be punished by shooting... Bring Xiao Li a bottle of mineral water, and ask for it to be iced."
In fact, the little girl really didn't understand anything in her heart. She always felt that her man assigned her to do the work, which was what she should do, so she ran away to get iced mineral water.
"The little girl is so cute." Li Shilu burst out laughing, "She doesn't think she's better than Jing Ziling, right?"
"It's quite pitiful. When I brought her back from Dibei, one of her legs was broken." Chen Taizhong replied with a smile, and then asked proudly, "She is recovering well now. Can't you tell what's wrong with her?"
Have you ever had a lame leg?"
"Has your leg been broken?" Li Shilu frowned and thought about it, then smiled and shook his head, "I really can't tell."
While talking, Yang Zixuan brought over the mineral water and three bottles. When Li Shilu took the mineral water, he deliberately looked at her legs, then smiled and shook his head - he really couldn't tell.
Zhang Sui also smiled and nodded and took the mineral water, but what was thinking in his mind was: It was for this girl that he co-authored the book. Chen Taizhong not only arrested the human trafficker, but also his daughter?
Chen Taizhong also took a bottle of mineral water, opened it and took a sip, then glanced at Zhang Sui who was standing there, "It looks familiar." I am Zhang Sui from Huaheng... Mr. Zhang answered with a smile... Come and talk to District Chief Chen.
Talking about coal supply."
"It's you." Chen Taizhong tilted his head slightly and spoke expressionlessly, "Of the four suppliers, you are the only one who has a lot to do... Just tell me."
Zhang Sui naturally repeated his difficulties, and finally emphasized, "It is true that we can no longer buy cheap coal. If we buy expensive coal, we will have to pay compensation... My company would like to apply for a suspension of the execution of this contract."
"Pause? Pause means everything is stopped." Chen Taizhong shook his head slightly, "It is impossible for coal prices to fall back. You should know this better than me. Don't be clever with words. This is meaningless."
"Director Chen, you may be right. I don't see the prospect of coal prices falling." Zhang Sui took a breath and said to himself that you are really direct. He has met many department and bureau-level leaders.
But the words of the young man in front of him gave him a sense of oppression, which made him very uncomfortable. "Then let me tell the truth, my company hopes to terminate this contract."
Chen Taizhong took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, took a puff, and said calmly, "If you unilaterally terminate the contract, the consequences will be serious.
"The market price fluctuates, which is force majeure." Gu Sui looked at Li Shilu helplessly, "You don't agree to raise the price either."
"The procurement contract didn't say that we should follow the market trends." Chen Taizhong didn't talk about force majeure with him, so he didn't talk much.
"That is the bidding commitment, you are not allowed to add this clause." Mr. Zhang sighed helplessly. This was what Beichong requested at that time, saying that the bidding price was a fixed price and could not be changed, otherwise it would easily lead to disadvantages.
At that time, everyone recognized this and endured it just to accept this big order. Who would have thought that coal prices would rise so fast in a short period of time?
"Then what else do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Taizhong looked at him strangely.
"Brother Taizhong, the market has changed." When Li Shilu heard this, he couldn't help but interject, "It's a market economy. Of course, we must follow the laws of the market. We can no longer engage in the planned economy. It is normal to follow the market... You can't let people lose money, right?
?”
"Ha, you're talking to me about the economy?" Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard this. He thought Xiao Li was quite interesting. "Okay, trading is also a part of the economy, but have you ever thought about what the basis of trading is?"
Li Shilu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."
"The basis of transaction is a contract. Both parties abide by the contract and exchange goods. If one party accepts the goods unilaterally, that is called robbery." District Chief Chen replied with a smile, "The spirit of this contract mainly emphasizes sincerity... If you don't keep your word, you don't know what is going on."
Can."
"The spirit of the contract must be emphasized, but at the same time, equal exchange must also be emphasized, right?" Li Shilu retorted unconvincingly, "If the market conditions change and the prices are not equal, one party can request to modify the contract. This does not mean
There is no contradiction, and unequal exchange can also be regarded as robbery in disguise."
"If I don't agree to the modification, can he unilaterally terminate it?" Chen Taizhong looked at him with a half-smile, "The transaction itself is risky, and I am not asking for a renewal, I am just completing this contract."
"You will lose money if you continue to implement it." Li Shilu sighed. In fact, District Chief Chen's answer told him: This is a matter of public opinion and women's rights.
"Where in the world can there be a business that only makes a profit without losing money?" Chen Taizhong glanced at Zhang Sui indifferently, "Your vision is too small to do big business... In fact, the increase in coal prices is a rare opportunity for you.
"
Integrity? Only a ghost would believe this stuff these days. Zhang Sui hummed to himself. He understood what the other party meant. With coal prices rising, if the contract could be implemented, he would definitely gain the friendship of Beichong because of his honest management.
But..., is this realistic? Mr. Zhang knows very well that this is an era of overwhelming materialism. As for this order, without Wang Ninghu’s greeting, would he have been able to get it?
The so-called integrity is really ridiculous. Zhang Sui was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Thank you, District Chief Chen, for your love, but if the price cannot be raised, we hope to terminate this contract through friendly negotiation.
"
"I've been with you for a long time, have I told you in vain?" Chen Taizhong took another puff of cigarette, looked at the half-burned cigarette in his right hand, pondered for a while, stretched out the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and gently lifted the cigarette.
He put out the burning cigarette butt and whispered, "If you don't want to give me face, then whatever."
Seeing the red cigarette butt being extinguished with his fingers, Zhang Sui immediately fell silent. Li Shilu hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile, "Brother Taizhong, aren't there three more families? It won't affect the overall situation, right?"
"Yes, there are still three families." District Chief Chen lowered his head and sighed, muttering in a low voice, "There are still three families..., how can it not affect it?"
