Chapter 344 Winning the Bid
When Ke Changlin heard the tone of Cui Changjia's voice, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, Cui Changjia is very smart, he shouldn't have said that just now.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful that he was jealous of Cui Changjia because of what happened last time.
This time their company was recruiting for a lot of things, and Mr. Wei didn't ask about anything else. He only asked whether Cui Changjia, who was in the office furniture business, wanted to invest.
Who knew that Wei Xianchen was still thinking about her.
If he had known this earlier, he would have communicated with Cui Changjia long ago.
Ke Changlin felt that it might be too late for him to make this call, but there was nothing he could do. He had to make up for his loss. He had to let President Wei know that he had contacted Cui Changjia.
When Ke Changlin heard Cui Changjia say this, he didn't know what to say.
After Cui Changjia received the call from Ke Changlin, he put the matter aside.
Even though Zhou Qingyan grew up in the Cui family's factory, got up early in the morning to go to work and came back after get off work in the evening, it only took two or three days for everyone to know that the future eldest son-in-law of the Cui family was staying in the Cui family and refused to leave.
Not only did Zhou Qingyan refuse to leave, he also had his clothes and daily necessities delivered to him, and then openly placed his belongings in Cui Changjia's room.
Zhou's parents came again on purpose, saying that their son was living at Cui's house and it was too much trouble for the in-laws, and brought a cart of rice, flour, grain, oil, and a pig.
Then, Cui Xiuyuan had someone replace the 1.35-meter bed in Cui Changjia's room with a 1.8-meter bed.
Jiang Hongying also secretly told Cui Changjia that she must not get pregnant before marriage no matter what.
Cui Changjia had a sour face for several days.
Nothing really happened between her and Zhou Qingyan, except holding hands before going to bed at night.
Because Zhou Qingyan said that they could no longer have any intimate behavior, he was afraid that he couldn't hold on.
But who would believe it?
About ten days after Chang Ying was discharged from the hospital, Cui Changjia took her to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The doctor said that she had recovered well and could increase her nutrition appropriately.
Jiang Hongying then asked Cui Changjia to drive to find a Chinese doctor to prescribe medicine for Chang Ying to regulate her body.
Chinese medicine practitioners said that Chang Ying was deficient in both Qi and blood, and that she looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside, which was why she had health problems. She needed to take 20 to 30 doses of Chinese medicine to regulate her body.
Jiang Hongying also asked a Chinese doctor to take Cui Changjia's pulse... The result was that Cui Changjia accompanied Chang Ying to drink the dark and bitter Chinese medicine soup.
As she smelled the Chinese medicine that rushed straight to her head, Cui Changjia's face turned even darker. She shouldn't have accompanied Chang Ying to see a Chinese doctor.
It must be said that Chinese medicine is quite effective. After taking two or three doses of medicine, Chang Ying's complexion was not so ugly anymore. When Chang Ying felt stronger, she went to the store from time to time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for bidding for purchasing office furniture in Donghu.
Cui Changjia really didn't go. She was on a business trip to Lanshan delivering goods.
This was also the last delivery of goods by Lanshan Wholesale Market before the New Year. After delivering the goods and completing the settlement procedures, when Cui Changjia walked to the front of the truck, he received a call from Xu Changhe.
"Brother Xu."
Xu Changhe's voice was heavy, and he felt mixed emotions. "Boss Cui, we won."
Cui Changjia was stunned for a moment, afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, "Brother Xu, what did you say?"
"We won the bid for the Donghu project."
Cui Changjia didn't believe it, "How is it possible? Isn't our offer the highest?" Xu Changhe smiled bitterly, "We didn't have an advantage in price, but we got almost full marks in technology."
During the bid evaluation, after the bids were announced, Xu Changhe edited the bids from various parties and sent them to Cui Changjia in a text message. When she saw the text message and learned that they had indeed quoted the highest price, she put the matter aside.
Cui Changjia was completely confused. "Brother Xu, didn't we have some deviations? How can we get almost full marks if we have some deviations?"
She finally understood what drama was. She didn't aim to win, but she still won!
"Two companies even deviated from the payment method and quality assurance, and two companies failed to meet the delivery deadline. We had the least deviation. The thickness of the plate was reduced by one number, but only two points were deducted." Xu Changhe said dejectedly, "Boss Cui, you are right. That vice president cast a wide net. He can't make a decision at all, and he doesn't understand the mechanism of this project. It's all my fault."
As soon as Donghu announced the winning bidder, Chen Ruxue and several others who came to bid were so happy that they kept asking Xuchanghe to treat them.
The Xuchang River seemed to have been struck by lightning and could hardly move, yet he still had to force himself to smile at a few salesmen. It was so hard for him!
Cui Changjia was silent for a while and said, "Brother Xu, it's okay. Boss Wei helped me before, so I'm repaying him. Don't blame yourself. Experience is gained in the process. Don't deny yourself because of this incident."
She is the boss, and it won't work if she has the same mentality as her employees.
She can only encourage her employees when they are discouraged.
Cui Changjia said, "Generally speaking, this project is not unprofitable, but the battle line is relatively long. The factory will not collapse because of these hundreds of thousands of dollars. Brother Xu, cheer up and do what you need to do. Also, no matter who asks, you must say that we have deviated a lot, otherwise the project cannot be done, understand."
Xu Changhe took a deep breath and said, "I understand, President Cui."
"The salesmen should be praised. The lack of profit is the factory's fault, but their efforts should be recognized."
The boss not only has to look at profits, but also has to take care of the employees.
Cui Changjia's words made Xu Changhe feel much better. "Don't worry, President Cui, I will handle this matter."
Cui Changjia comforted Xu Changhe a few more words and then hung up the phone.
In fact, after hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia kicked the car tire twice, making her feet numb!
Things in this world are so damn unsatisfactory!
Cui Changjia and the driver got up and returned to the provincial capital. On the way, she called Cui Xiuyuan to report. Cui Xiuyuan had the same attitude as her. Since they won the prize, they should do what they should do. If they did not fulfill the contract, they would offend the East Lake Group.
After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia thought for a while and then called Ke Changlin.
Ke Changlin answered the call quickly.
"Boss Ke, are you done with your work?"
"There's no time to be done, Mr. Cui. You guys won the prize for office furniture."
Cui Changjia said jokingly, "Boss Ke, why don't you congratulate us?"
"Do I dare?" Ke Changlin smiled bitterly, "You will scold me to death."
"No, no, not really," Cui Changjia exhaled, "Boss Ke, I guarantee that there will be no problem with the 45-day delivery period, but you will have to take care of the payment when the time comes."
"You don't even need to inform me about this. Don't worry, when the time comes, submit the paperwork to me and I'll pay you right away."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Ke Changlin still didn't give up. He advised Cui Changjia, "Boss Cui, I still want to advise you. Why don't you go talk to Boss Wei about the payment method? He will pay you right after signing the contract. Then you don't have to be so embarrassed. More than 700,000 is nothing to the company."
