Chapter 160 Self-esteem
Cui Changjia was shocked. After meeting Zhou Qingyan at Ruihe last time, she thought that Zhou Qingyan knew Purchasing Manager Guo, but she didn't expect that he would come to evaluate the bid!
"Let me say something," said Cui Changjia's "enemy," Mr. Guo. "Thank you very much for your active participation. Although our bidding is not formal, we are still selecting based on the principles of openness, fairness and justice. Let's start quoting now."
The first one to make an offer was the one for Zeyuan Office, with a price of 178,000.
The second one is from Wang Yanjun, and the asking price is 400,000.
The third quote was from Xinfei Furniture, which quoted RMB 160,000.
The fourth quote was from Jingtian Furniture, with a price of 94,000.
As soon as the offer was made public, Cui Changjia felt disappointed. Didn't Hu Jiayi say that there was someone who had a good relationship with Manager Guo and offered 300,000? Why did he reduce the price so much all of a sudden?
Cui Changjia instinctively looked at Hu Jiayi. This man just asked her for money but did not do anything. He also asked her to quote a high price. Fortunately, she did not listen to him.
Hu Jiayi didn't dare to look at Cui Changjia, and then looked away.
Now, apart from Wang Yanjun who was a secondary bidder and quoted a high price, Cui Changjia's Zeyuan Office actually became the second highest bidder.
After the prices were announced, Manager Guo said, "The above are everyone's quotes. Please go to the VIP room and wait. Do not leave. If you have any questions, we will call you in at any time. You can leave now."
Tong Wei stood up, but Cui Changjia was still sitting there without moving.
Tong Wei quickly pulled Cui Changjia's arm, and Cui Changjia finally reacted. He quickly stood up and walked out one after another.
They were all walking out, and of course they didn't notice the teasing look that President Yu gave Zhou Qingyan behind them.
He and Zhou Qingyan have known each other for many years. He has always been impatient with these vulgar things. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his insistence on coming today.
He chatted with Tao Lei for several minutes without making any sense before he found a point of intersection, Cui Changjia!
After coming in, he took a look and saw that there were only two women on site to make bids. He knew at first glance which one was Cui Changjia because he had seen her before.
Well, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have had to negotiate the bid. Wouldn’t it be better to just purchase from Cui Changjia directly?
Cui Changjia kept silent in the VIP room to hide his inner shock.
Tong Wei saw that Cui Changjia was not right, so he poked her and whispered, "Don't think about the quotation for now. They probably won't give the lowest bid. Such a large company should still focus on quality."
In fact, Cui Changjia no longer felt anything about the offer. She said with a complicated look, "I'm not here because of the offer."
"Then what's wrong with you?"
Cui Changjia exhaled, "The second person who came in was my high school classmate."
Tong Wei was even more shocked, "You didn't know he was also from Xingda Network?"
Cui Changjia smiled bitterly, "I don't know, it would be nice if I knew."
No, she was regretting that after the last encounter in Ruihe, she should have asked one more question about the relationship between Zhou Qingyan and Manager Guo. What a hateful self-esteem, she just didn't ask!
Tong Wei didn't know what to say. His partner was not stupid, but why wouldn't he use such a good relationship?
The manufacturers next to them also didn't talk to each other. The entire VIP room was just like the previous conference room, solemn, depressing and silent.
Cui Changjia simply logged into QQ using his mobile phone to see if Jiang Fanghan was there.
She tried to send a message.
"Fang Han, are you there?"
“Hey, how come you have time to chat on QQ? Aren’t you going to discuss the project today?” Cui Changjia replied: Yes, but I met Zhou Qingyan at the bid evaluation site. What does he do?
"Aren't you in logistics? What else can you do?"
Well, it seems that it is useless to ask Jiang Fanghan.
"Isn't that project of yours unrelated to logistics vehicles?" Jiang Fanghan asked again.
"Yes, it's totally irrelevant."
Jiang Fanghan said quickly, "Then I don't know. You can ask him after it's over."
What is Cui Changjia asking? She is very upset.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally Hu Jiayi came in and said to everyone, "The staff in Zeyuan's office can stay for a while, and the others can go back first."
Cui Changjia and Tong Wei looked at each other, both with surprise in their eyes. After all, this project was successful, they would both make money, and there would be more orders to come.
"Manager Hu, is the purchasing manager in Zeyuan's office?" someone asked.
That person was the one who was unhappy with Cui Changjia in the conference room before.
"Yes," Hu Jiayi was still happy. It seemed that his strategy of casting a wide net was still effective. "The materials, styles and design concepts of Zeyuan Office are more in line with our Internet company."
"I question it," the man shouted, "My office desks and chairs are all made of solid wood, and the price is 160,000. Can't they be better than those made of compressed wood? Their detailed price quotes must be made public so that we can see what's so good about their products!"
It turned out to be from Xinfei Furniture.
Hu Jiayi looked at Cui Changjia. He was hoping that Cui Changjia would fight against that person, but Cui Changjia didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything at this time. It would be stupid to say anything.
"Manager Tang, we don't buy from whoever offers the lowest price. We consider everything comprehensively," Hu Jiayi said. "Of course the quality of your office furniture is good, but we want a more modern office atmosphere, and yours really doesn't meet that requirement."
Wang Yanjun glanced at Cui Changjia, did not dare to speak, and left silently. Anyway, he came here to bid, and it had nothing to do with him who was purchased. But Cui Changjia was quite pitiful. It was really unlucky for him to be questioned for a project.
There were four companies in total that made quotations, and the other one saw Wang Yanjun leave and also left.
Cui Changjia and Tong Wei also wanted to leave, but the people from Xinfei Furniture refused to accept the decision and stopped them from leaving. They squinted their eyes and said, "You'd better take the initiative to come up with a detailed quotation, otherwise I will never give up on this project!"
Tong Wei couldn't help but say, "You have no right to ask for a detailed quote!"
"The price was so high and he still won. There must be something fishy going on."
"Manager Tang!" Manager Guo of Party A interrupted Manager Tang's unreasonable speech, walked in from outside, and said with a gloomy face, "Manager Tang, it's a pity that there is no chance for cooperation this time. We still have the next project. I look forward to our next cooperation."
Manager Tang was not satisfied. "Next time? What next time? If I don't buy this time, there will be a next time. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Manager Guo had a look of surprise on his face, and he glared as if to warn Manager Tang, but it was obvious that he failed to suppress the other party.
Manager Tang shouted, "Publish Zeyuan's office plan, and let us all see if her offer is reasonable!"
At this time, a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist walked in from outside. It was Zhou Qingyan.
He said coldly, "I've only used my desk for half a year and the drawer underneath is already cracked. Manager Guo, a supplier with such poor quality still has a chance to quote. Is your job as a purchasing manager over?"
He doesn't care about the company's internal affairs, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing!
In front of outsiders, Guo Guanping lost all his dignity and face, but how could he dare to turn against Zhou Qingyan? He pushed Manager Guo of Xinfei Furniture out.
