Chapter 355: White Wolf with Empty Gloves
Seeing the conclusion of unqualified acceptance, Lao Fan felt a little guilty. He originally wanted to settle the project payment as soon as possible, but seeing Lao Xu's attitude, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Lao Fan said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, the acceptance conclusion says that some of the projects undertaken by Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company are unqualified. We accepted it and promised to make rectifications as required, but the project payment..., you see
Can we discuss it?"
"What's there to discuss? Didn't I just say that we won't discuss the project payment until the rectification is passed." Lao Xu was unmoved.
"Mr. Xu, although some of the projects we undertook were not up to standard, we still had no less work to do. After all, now that the project is completed, Changda Real Estate is still holding on to most of the project funds. If we don't settle the settlement, we won't be able to operate! You see
Is this okay? We will start the rectification immediately. Please consider the settlement of the project payment in phases and batches."
"Manager Fan, Changda Real Estate is affiliated to Changda Group, and Changda Group is a large enterprise with a set of effective internal rules and regulations. Anyone who does anything must abide by this system. The quality of the projects you undertake
If it fails, you must make rectifications as required before you can settle the project payment. Otherwise, it violates the company's system. I can't do that. I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
Seeing that Lao Xu had no room for accommodation, Lao Fan had no choice but to leave angrily.
The next morning, Lao Xu sent people to the Qingshan River treatment site to check. Not only did he not see any rectification workers from the Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company, he also learned from other construction sites that there was no water at all on the entire Qingshan River treatment site.
He had heard of the Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company. "But the project they contracted was completed after all. Although the quality was not up to standard, who did the work?" Lao Xu felt puzzled.
"It is said that they transferred the contract to another construction company, and the second contractor did the actual construction of the project."
"I see!"
After investigation, Lao Xu discovered that Lao Fan’s so-called Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company was just a leather company affiliated to another qualified company. The entire Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company had neither construction personnel nor construction equipment.
All the belongings were packed in the leather bag that Lao Fan carried under his arm.
"This Lao Fan is just playing with nothing!" Lao Xu sighed.
That's right, Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company has made a living by contracting projects from different hands since its establishment five or six years ago. Although he gave about half of the price difference from the transferred projects to the middleman who contracted the projects for him, Lao Fan only received the benefits
, is still enough to maintain the operation of his company.
Since negotiations with Lao Xu failed, Lao Fan naturally did not dare to face the second-hand contractor of the project, so he could not get the other party to carry out project rectification and construction.
However, if the rectification is not passed, the project will not be delivered, and the settlement of the project payment will be out of the question. Not only that, if the project cannot be delivered on time, according to the originally signed project contract, Changda Real Estate Company, as Party A, will also be held accountable.
The legal liability of Yu Water Conservancy Construction Company is even more important. Although Lao Fan is only in charge of a leather company, he is aware of the legal effect of the contract.
Thinking of this, Lao Fan had a headache. He bravely met with the second-hand contractor and begged the other party to complete the rectification as soon as possible.
"We can do the work, but who will provide the funds to purchase building materials and rent construction machinery?" The other party asked for money.
"Now that I can't pay the project payment, where can I find money? Can you find a way to borrow part of it?" Lao Fan was really at his wits' end.
"Don't be ridiculous! Manager Fan, it's not like you don't know that the 10% of the project payment we advanced was borrowed from a private person, and we were paying interest every day. You still asked us to borrow money for this project.
don't let me
Can we make some money?"
"I don't understand. Why do you cut corners and commit fraud during the construction process? If you didn't do this, the project would pass the acceptance test once, and now the project payment is settled, how could you have all these troubles!" Looking back,
, Lao Fan complained.
"It's easy for you to say, just give us this price. If we don't add some fluff, if we use real materials everywhere, we won't make any money. What are you going to do to make a profit at a loss?" The other party didn't buy it at all.
.
"It's okay this time. Let's make some rectifications and rework. Let's see if you still make money?"
"Stop, let's rectify and rework the matter. We must first clarify the responsibilities. When we work, you have to pay for the materials, otherwise there is no need to discuss it."
"This----" Lao Fan slammed the table angrily, "Now this result was caused by you alone and has nothing to do with me. Why should I pay for the materials?"
"Why are you saying that? You are such a black-hearted person! When you subcontract a project to us, you take the lion's share, and we only get a small part. You eat the meat, and we eat the soup. Just because of this, you have to pay for the materials.
out!"
The two sides are in a stalemate, and the matter cannot be discussed further. If the rectification and rework cannot be implemented as soon as possible, once the delivery deadline is reached, Lao Fan will have to become a defendant. Not to mention settling the project payment by then, if Changda Real Estate pursues his legal responsibility, wait and see
Lao Fan, I'm afraid he will be jailed!
Thinking of this, Lao Fan suddenly became more awake. He realized that if the stalemate continued like this, it would not be beneficial to both parties. Although he suffered greater losses, the other party would also be fighting for nothing. In the end, he would gain nothing.
Less than.
So, Lao Fan became a little calmer and said, "Okay, it's as you wish. I'll figure out how to pay for the materials, but you must hurry up and do the job well, and don't make any mistakes again!"
"
It's easy to say, but where can I find a way to get the money for the two million yuan needed for rectification and rework? When he was desperate, Lao Fan once again thought of Lao Xu from Changda Real Estate Company. When he expressed his thoughts, Lao Fan
Xu said he was out of ideas, "I've never seen you take on a project like this!"
"Mr. Xu, whatever you say now makes sense. As long as you give me two million in advance and ask me to kneel down and kowtow to you, I will do it."
"Fuck you! What is this mess? You subcontracted the project to a second-hand contractor, cut corners and cheated during the construction, resulting in the project being unqualified. I won't punish you. I have already done my best to you, and you still want to advance the project payment? It's simply
It’s a joke!”
Lao Fan originally wanted to solve the problem by himself, but ended up getting frustrated with Lao Xu. At this time, he could only place his hope in the "uncle" who was the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and he could not care about discussing private matters in the workplace.
Due to the negative impact, Lao Fan came directly to Lao Zhang’s office.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you before that if I have something to discuss at home, this is my workplace. Talking about private matters in the office will have a bad impact on me if my colleagues find out."
The deputy director scolded.
Lao Fan turned around and closed the door, "Let's keep it quiet so that no one else can hear it, won't it be okay?" He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Lao Zhang.
Because Lao Zhang is the middleman for the Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company to undertake this project, it goes without saying that after the project payment is settled, Lao Fan will definitely give Lao Zhang a portion. Although Lao Fan from the bottom of his heart does not want to go to Lao Zhang's work to discuss such things.
, but at this critical moment, when he couldn't think of any other way, Lao Fan had no choice but to do this.
"Fengfenghuohuo, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Lao Zhang was obviously a little unhappy.
Lao Fan couldn't care so much. He lowered his voice and explained the situation he was currently facing.
Lao Zhang made a report, "Uncle, what do you think we should do?"
"Yeah, the second-hand contractor doesn't want to advance any more funds, and Lao Xu doesn't give any face. The situation is indeed a bit urgent, but what can I do?" Lao Zhang also looked worried.
"It only costs 2 million for rectification and rework. Uncle, can you raise this money? I will calculate the interest for you."
"Who do you think I am? We are all salaried workers. We live entirely on wages. We bought a house two years ago. Where did we get two million?"
"Then... why don't you call Mr. Xu from Changda Real Estate Company? You are the leader of the functional department, and he should give you face."
"Why are you calling him? Borrowing two million from Lao Xu? You really can imagine it!"
"It's not a loan, but an advance of two million from the project funds. He will have to give us this money sooner or later. Tell him about the situation we are currently facing. If Old Xu is a reasonable person, he shouldn't refuse.
"
"Didn't you mention the advance to him? It seems inappropriate for me to mention it again. After all, I have to pay attention to my identity, right?" Lao Zhang was also very embarrassed.
"Uncle, your identity is very important, but the current situation we are facing is that if we cannot raise 2 million yuan, the rectification and rework will not be carried out, the project cannot be delivered on time, not only the project payment will not be paid, but everyone's interests will be wiped out. If
If the Changda Group investigates, I may also be held legally responsible."
"Hey, if I hadn't kept too much and given some more profits to the second-hand contractors, they wouldn't have done anything wrong during the construction process, and now there wouldn't be such troublesome things." Lao Zhang scolded.
"Things have happened. It's useless to talk about it now. Didn't I take into account the interests of both of us when I kept more? Who would have thought that this second-hand contractor would be so skilled behind the scenes. I blame my lack of consideration.
Otherwise, if we sign a supplementary agreement with the second-hand contractor that exempts Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Construction Company from liability, we will now have peace of mind." Lao Fan regretted his lack of experience.
"You're right, things have already happened, and hindsight is useless. Well, I'll call Lao Xu, and I hope he can give me face." In front of Lao Fan, Lao Zhang pulled out the Changda Real Estate Company.
I dialed the office phone number from the landline on the desk.
"Hello, Mr. Xu? I'm Lao Zhang from the Urban Construction Bureau."
"Hello, Director Zhang! What instructions do you have?"
"How dare you give instructions to a big boss like you! How about it? It's winter and all your construction sites have stopped working, right?" Lao Zhang asked with concern.
"I work part-time, and the big boss is someone else. Although winter has entered, the weather is not too cold yet. Some construction sites are still finishing work, but it is almost the end of the year. All construction sites are preparing for winter. Director Zhang, are you okay?
?" Lao Xu still knew something about this functional department leader who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, at least he had to live with it in terms of face.
"Mr. Xu, the project contracted by Dayu Water Conservancy Construction and Installation Company failed to pass the acceptance inspection. This matter has something to do with me. After all, I introduced them here. I am very sorry and ask for your forgiveness."
"What did Director Zhang say? Although you introduced them, you are not the leader of the construction unit. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't take it seriously."
"Thank you for your understanding! Mr. Xu, I heard that if you meet the rectification requirements, you can hand over the work. Is that right?"
"Yes, as long as the rectifications are passed on time and the work is passed, of course the work can be handed over, but I see that they have not done anything yet and there is no movement on the construction site. I wonder what that manager Fan means?"
Chapter completed!
