Xu Yun's message to Tang Jiu was simply a stroke of genius. Tang Jiu had been having a headache for days because of the construction bidding. After all, the Tang Group usually focused on the projects in the bigger second-tier cities or first-tier metropolises. They rarely paid attention to the projects in the third-tier cities like Hedong. It was a habit of people to think that no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to do anything special in a small city like Hedong.
But this time, the project Xu Yun told Tang Jiu was different. The next morning, Tang Jiu went to the government's public bidding website as soon as he arrived at the company. He searched for news about the Hedong City's artificial river project. He checked the time and saw that it had been updated just a minute ago. Did Xu Yun really have an inside story?
Tang Jiu carefully read the entire project plan. The project location was, of course, Hedong City's man-made river. The government hoped that the entire man-made river could be cleaned up and reconstructed, turning it into a flood-proof and flood-discharge channel that was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Bidders had to be responsible for the entire river's greening and paving.
At the same time, the land on both sides of the artificial river was about three thousand meters long, about nine hundred mu in total. The developers could develop the land themselves. It would be best if the buildings involved were closely related to tourism and could help Hedong City's economic development.
The message was very clear. Whoever built the man-made river would get to own the surrounding land, the things built would still belong to that person, and the money earned could be taken away. What the Hedong government wanted was the economic benefits and tax revenue it would bring. It could also help solve a considerable part of the employment problem.
This was definitely a good project to kill two birds with one stone. Tang Jiu couldn't help but admire the leaders of Hedong City. They were able to use the unique conditions to attract foreign investment and develop Hedong City. This was much smarter than those companies that used land in exchange for projects that turned out to be scammers.
For the investors, what they built belonged to them. What they left behind was the real thing. Since the project was proposed by the government, they would definitely support and promote it. This way, if the two sides of the artificial river were turned into a commercial street, and the investors were invited to invest, the land on both sides of the artificial river would be more than three thousand meters long, about nine hundred mu in total. Just the rent alone would make a lot of money. Although Hedong City was a small city, it was a tourist city. Although the population was small, the number of long-term tourists was high. It was one of the top cities in the country. Therefore, this was a business that was almost guaranteed to be profitable.
Seeing this, Tang Jiu immediately called his secretary to arrange a meeting for all the senior management of the company to discuss the problem of this project. Tang Jiu had never been particularly interested in government projects, because most of these projects would eventually be ruined by the ignorance of the government officials. However, this project was obviously different, and Tang Jiu was very interested in it.
The Tang Corporation's senior management meeting had just been held yesterday, and the main topic of discussion was to find a suitable project. No one had expected Tang Jiu to bring such a good project to the table today.
"Ninth Sister, our company has always been focused on projects in large and medium-sized cities. Hedong City is a third-rate city at best. Are projects in a place like this reliable?" Tang Yifei was still the most unstable member of the Tang Group, but because Tang Jiu had someone backing him up, he didn't dare to go too far.
"Please call me Mr. Tang in the company." Tang Jiu said to Tang Yifei rudely, then pointed to the big screen in the meeting room and said, "This tender requires that the bidder must have the qualifications of a general contractor of a construction project and above, and have the corresponding construction capabilities in terms of personnel, equipment, and funds. The project manager must be a registered architect with the qualifications of a municipal engineering major and above, and he must not be the project manager of any other project under construction!"
Everyone in the industry knew that such requirements were very strict, which was why Tang Jiu brought it up. "Do you think this is unreliable? If it's unreliable, why did they set the qualifications so high? This is obviously a piece of fat meat in Hedong City, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that. That's why the Hedong City government set the requirements so high. "
"Mr. Tang, what do you plan to use to compete?" It seemed that he wasn't the only one with doubts. Tang Shaofeng also said, "This is indeed a piece of fat meat. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people competing for it, right?"
Tang Jiu nodded. He was very satisfied with Tang Shaofeng's questioning. "First of all, I want to say that this project is something that many companies with second or third grade qualifications can't get their hands on. Most of the companies with special qualifications like us have their eyes set on the big cities. I'm afraid that not many will pay attention to this bid. So, our competitors will obviously be some companies with first level qualifications, because they will be in all the big, medium, and small cities. "
"Mr. Tang, you don't think that this project has anything to do with qualifications, do you?" Tang Shaofeng smiled and said, "I have to say that your thinking is very naive. This project is obviously something that a second-grade company can do. The Hedong government raised the grade of this project because of a certain person. So, we don't have an advantage. "
"How can you be so sure that we don't have an advantage?" Tang Jiu said bluntly. "I've already told you their requirements. The project manager must be a registered architect with the qualifications of a municipal engineering major and above, and he must not be the project manager of any other project under construction! Just this point alone is our advantage. How many project managers do we have that can be used? So many companies with first level qualifications are hiring people to affiliate with them. Even those who have the qualifications of a municipal engineering major and a registered architect would have been assigned to other projects. So, our advantage is very obvious! "
Tang Sanguo smiled when he saw the two of them getting into a heated argument. "Let me say something. At my age, I have more experience than the two of you. There's no doubt about that. Mr. Tang, I wonder if you can listen to me?"
Tang Jiu nodded. "Third Uncle, you can be direct. If you give me advice based on your experience, I'll definitely accept it."
"That's good, that's good." Tang Sanguo smiled. "I don't think that's what we need to consider in this kind of government tender. Rules are dead, but people are alive. Most of the time, in a government tender, relationships are the most important, followed by the project. Once we have relationships and a good project, then we'll have confidence. "
Tang Jiu had no objection to Tang Sanguo's words. "Third Uncle, you're right."
Tang Yi snorted. "Where are we going to find relationships in a small city like Hedong City? What a joke … "
"You don't have to worry about relationships." Tang Jiu smiled proudly. "It's because of relationships that I know about this. Otherwise, do you think I'd care about a small city's tender?"
Everyone was shocked. Tang Jiu was saying that he had relationships with the Hedong City government? No matter how they heard it, it didn't sound believable.
"Mr. Tang, since when did our Tang Group have any relationship with Hedong City? First, we don't have any projects. Second, there's no need to develop relationships. Why haven't I heard of this relationship? "Tang Yifei couldn't help but join the team that attacked Tang Jiu.
Tang Jiu's tolerance was indeed extraordinary. How many people could persevere in the face of so many objections?
Tang Zhenfeng followed his son and said, "You're not the only one who hasn't heard of it. Even I haven't heard of our relationship with the Hedong City government."
"You don't have to worry about that." Tang Jiu said bluntly. "I don't have any relationship with the Hedong City government, and Tang Group has nothing to do with the Hedong City government. But there's someone who will help me! "
Everyone's eyes focused on Tang Jiu. In the end, Tang Shaofeng asked, "Who?"
"Xu Yun."
This name was enough to make the Tang family speechless. Everyone finally understood how Tang Jiu got this information. It turned out that there was someone helping him. Even so, Tang Sanguo still didn't want his niece to treat them with such arrogance.
Tang Sanguo spoke again. "Okay, there's a relationship. But what about the project? What kind of good project can get the Hedong City government's approval? This is even more important than a relationship. We've never done a project with the government, so we don't have any experience! It's easy to fix the river, but the project must be able to increase Hedong City's tax revenue. Only a project like this will be liked by the government. "
Tang Jiu didn't back down in the face of his uncle's aggressive tone. "Yes, the project is the most important thing. Uncle, you're right. And I happen to have a good idea for a project! If you're interested, I can share it with you. "
Without waiting for the others to express their interest, Tang Jiu had already opened the project presentation that she had personally worked on overnight. Many of the ideas in it were thought of together with Xu Yun, and many of the suggestions were given to her by Xu Yun. After all, Xu Yun understood Qin Zhongming's thoughts, so her suggestions to Tang Jiu were naturally the most direct and effective.
"My idea is to turn Hedong City's man-made river into a large-scale commercial tourism real estate project that focuses on high-end dining, entertainment, and accommodation. The project will cover an area of 965 acres. After completion, the construction area will reach more than 200,000 square meters. We'll make it the first priority project of the Hedong City government. We'll also be able to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hedong City Tourism Bureau to push forward the project's construction and development." Tang Jiu began her presentation. She was confident that her team could do the project to the best of their ability. "Once the project is successfully launched, we can contact all the major dining, entertainment, and accommodation brands to come and investigate. It's a win-win situation, and we can develop together …"
