Chapter 28 28. Tender

It was a morning in early July, and the sun was very compelling and bright yellow.This is the case in Changsha. After the dog days, there is no better day, and the temperature goes up to 38 or 9 degrees every day.sometimes even Up to forty degrees, but besides fighting the heat, people have to go about their lives—that is, fight themselves, Take money out of other people's pockets.Last night it was reported that today's temperature was 38 degrees, but Ma Min felt that it was at least 38 degrees. Nineteen degrees, or even forty-one or two degrees.There is hot wind that makes you sweat, unless you hide in an air-conditioned room

Come.Everywhere in the house, the electric fan is stirring desperately, but the wind blowing out is not comfortable on the body, because That wind is hot and makes you feel breathless.When Ma Min and Zhou Xiaofeng rushed to the gate of Bureau N, they were not even willing to leave. car.There was air conditioning in Santana, but outside it was scorching sun and a roiling heat wave. "You go, I'll wait for you in the car." Zhou Xiaofeng said greedily, "Anyway, this is just a routine." If this is the case, the matter has come to this point, and of course it must be finished. "Ma Min, "I'm really a little scared to open the car door,"

Zhou Xiaofeng said, "It will die of heat." Ma Min smiled, "The heat is killing you, I will be in charge of burying you." Ma Min looked at him, "If you don't kill him for a thousand years, you won't die. do not worry.If you go away, if you come, you will be safe.I turned off the air conditioner. " Ma Min really turned off the air conditioner. Zhou Xiaofeng had no choice but to jump out of the car in pain, his face wrinkled. "Damn it, it's so hot!" "Go to Mount Heng to be a monk?" "Yes, I really want to become a monk."

"You become a monk and become Master Hongyi?" "What do you do as Master Hongyi? Be yourself." "You admire Master Hongyi the most, you said it yourself." "I don't worship anyone now, I only worship nature." Zhou Xiaofeng said, abandoning his beloved idol, "This is a world of belief in nothingness. In this world, you don't want to suffer, but to numb yourself." Ma Min thought to himself, remember this sentence that this miscellaneous hair said, this sentence can be shown off in front of Peng Xiao, okay? Let her feel that he is profound. "Believe in a world of nothingness", I fuck his mother, this sentence is too accurate.he thinks. "You're right

Yes," he said, repeating it to remember, "yes, it's a world of belief in nothingness. " The two walked into the office building of Bureau N despite the heat. Bureau N conducted a formal public tender this morning.This is Bureau Liu A program specially arranged by the chief, dedicated to show it to several of his deputy bureau chiefs, which means that he has absolutely no reputation in the middle. Giving this decoration business to Ma Min in the form of bidding is really too high-sounding!The bidding time is set at 8:00 a.m. Zhong, Director Liu asked Ma Min to come at around 10:30, because there were twelve decoration companies participating in the bidding. "You step back

It’s better to come,” Director Liu said to him on the phone last night, “Let others finish the trick first, understand? " Ma Min said "I understand" at the time, but now he has no idea at all.They walked to the door of the director's office, the director's office The door was closed tightly, and Ma Min knocked, but there was no response from inside.A lesbian in the opposite office saw Ma Min holding a bag in his hand. Only a big brown suitcase, so I asked them what they were for.Ma Min said, "We are here to participate in the bidding." The lesbian pointed to the ceiling, "It's in the small conference room on the third floor."

The two went upstairs without saying a word, only to find seven or eight people standing outside the door of the small meeting room.it's so hot But they were standing in the aisle, some were fanning newspapers, some were talking, and some were walking around restlessly. There is a room next to the meeting room, which is supposed to be the reception room. There are about a dozen people sitting in it, crowded under two ceiling fans. The speed of the fifth gear was spinning crazily, and all of them were still dripping black sweat on their faces, and their eyes were haggard. "You're just here?" an acquaintance said hello to them.

Ma Min just stood at the door and smiled at the acquaintance, then took the suitcase, pushed open the door of the meeting room and walked in.this is A small conference room with ordinary decoration, surrounded by sofas, an oval conference table in the middle, and several tall Leaning on the swivel chairs, several bureau chiefs sat around the conference table, sitting on the high-back swivel chairs, with tea and cigarettes in front of them. The situation is serious, as if the old security guards are interrogating thieves.A decoration boss sat across from them and was answering Bureau Liu's question.

long question.When Chief Liu saw him coming in with his suitcase, he didn't say anything, and didn't even look at him.Ma Min took the suitcase Put it on the conference table, slowly opened the suitcase, took out the bidding proposal typed out by a computer typewriter, and handed it to a The small cadre in charge took a quick look and handed it to Director Liu who was sitting there with a sullen face.Ma Min Seeing Director Liu's businesslike appearance, he put it under a pile of bidding proposals without even looking at it, and closed the box. The child came out. "It's full of smoke inside," Ma Min said to Zhou Xiaofeng, "the air is not good."

"Just wait patiently," said an acquaintance, "only three companies have completed their bid defenses." "Are there many companies participating in the bidding?" Ma Min pretended not to know what department. "More than a dozen." The acquaintance smiled, "One steamed bun, so many people want to eat it, it's boring. In fact, only one company could win the bid, and the others came here as 'sisters'. " "Of course," Ma Min said, as if he would be a "sister-in-law". There are so many people who accompany the slaughter. "

"It's not good to decorate this bowl of rice," another acquaintance said, "There are so many mouths to eat. I'm going to do something else. " "I'm going to start a home appliance business," Ma Min said casually, "or real estate, I haven't made up my mind yet." "In real estate, you need at least tens of millions to say this." Another friend interjected, "It's not just a matter of opening your mouth. something that can be done.A friend of mine was engaged in real estate, and he lost all his pants. He hid in Hainan Island and ate instant noodles every day. " That's all they said, standing under the whirling ceiling fan, waiting for their turn in the defense.Ma Min's face It was full of sweat, and the sweat drenched the front of the clothes.He felt his back was soaked, and the clothes stuck firmly to his back, turning over He pulled it away with his hand, and immediately put it on obediently, which made him very uncomfortable. "Damn it, I'm covered in sweat." Ma Min said to Zhou Xiaofeng frowned and said, "It's so hot, what a hell of a weather." Zhou Xiaofeng and a few acquaintances he knew looked at him with sympathy. "Where is it so hot?" Zhou Xiao Feng sympathized.Zhou Xiaofeng is thin, so he can easily adapt to this unbearably hot temperature. Of course, he is not like walking out of an air-conditioned car. It feels so hot. "Calm and cool naturally, don't be irritable." Ma Min glanced at him, walked out, and there was no wind in the aisle.He saw a lesbian waiting in the office next door. The ceiling fan on the ceiling was spinning crazily, so Ma Min bravely stepped in.The lesbian looked at him, and Ma Min looked at this lesbian The comrade smiled politely and said, "It's too hot, blow on the ceiling fan here." The lesbian turned her face away, Ma Min knew that he had tacitly allowed him to stay here.Just stand directly under the ceiling fan and let the wind flow from his head Dash down the top of the door.He felt better, feeling the sweat on his arms being dried by the ceiling fan.He steps away, lights a He smoked a cigarette and returned to standing under the ceiling fan when Zhou Xiaofeng walked in. "The eldest son Zhang has entered," meaning that the same Zhang's eldest son, who he spoke to, was called into the small conference room to face the bureau chiefs to answer.Logically, bid defense or something, everyone You can sit there and listen, but Director Liu wants to be mysterious, so he can only go in one by one, like a public security officer. It was like an interrogation, so everyone had to stand outside and wait. "Which number is this?" Ma Min asked irritably. "How do I know? I came with you." Zhou Xiaofeng looked at him disdainfully and said, feeling that his question was interesting. Ma Min doesn't like the arrogant expression on Zhou Xiaofeng's face. Zhou Xiaofeng has low self-esteem since he was a child, so he is very arrogant now. Slow and rude.This is normal, because Zhou Xiaofeng thinks that there are not many people smarter than him in this world.He claims to be ten thousand One of the individuals, of course that conceited expression often flutters on his black pointed face, the pair of deep Distorted eyes behind spectacle lenses are often defiant. "Don't drive that kind of shit in front of Peng Xiao from now on, you bastard. Just kidding," Ma Min reminded him, disgusted with his superciliousness, "I don't like you to expose my old background, In this regard, women would rather believe what they have or not. " "Have you become serious?" Zhou Xiaofeng turned his head to look at him, "Is this just a game?" "I don't think I'm a game." Zhou Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile, "Where is your attitude of playing with life?" He said, "You cat playing ghost Jumping guy, are you serious about marrying Peng Xiao or what? " "I don't know. Maybe it has developed to that point. Don't say those things in front of her in the future. I treat her very well." very important.You also know that my love is a ruin. " "You're starting to value sex over friends," Zhou Xiaofeng smiled, "This is walking on a dangerous road. Finally it was the turn of Ma Min and Zhou Xiaofeng to go in.As soon as he walked into the small meeting room, Ma Min felt the coolness of the air conditioner. It was filled with smoke.Director Liu and the other three deputy directors sat in a row at the conference table, with a cigarette in each hand. The fog, of course, hung in front of their faces.Ma Min unhurriedly opened the suitcase, took out the bidding proposal and budget, One person handed over a copy, and while the directors were reading the budget, they took out a large stack of drawings and placed them in the office of Director Liu. before. "Director Liu, here are the decoration drawings for commercial karaoke halls and restaurants designed by our company, a total of forty sheets." Ma After Min finished speaking, he retreated to sit next to Zhou Xiaofeng, but his eyes were fixed on the faces of these bureau chiefs. Director Liu pretended to look through the drawings one by one with interest, and handed the drawings he had read to the directors beside him. "Not bad, good design." Director Liu said loudly, with a smile on his face, "Look at it." Sitting opposite them, Ma Min watched them handing out the blueprints and prepared to answer their questions.a deputy director After looking at the drawings, he suddenly looked up at Ma Min, "What level of state enterprise does your company belong to?" the director said.exist Under the bidding proposal and decoration cost budget sent by Ma Min and under each drawing, "Changsha Tiantian Ma Decoration Company" and stamped with a red stamp. Ma Min understood that he wanted to find fault with this aspect, so Ma Min coughed, "If you say a few words If it is a first-level enterprise, then our decoration company cannot reach the first-level, nor can it reach the second-level. "Ma Min said, "But we can guarantee that the Please rest assured that the business is doing well. " "I'm asking you, what level of national enterprise are you?" The deputy director pressed on to this point. "If you pay attention to such a brand," Ma Min responded calmly, "I, Ma Min, can move to a state-level enterprise. The brand of the industry is still a decoration company in Guangzhou.However, the management fee will increase by more than 150,000 yuan, as long as you are willing to If there is an extra 150,000 yuan, then I can show you the copy of the power of attorney and the license in the afternoon. "Ma Minwang Looking at the deputy director, he smiled, "But we still do it, it's just that the brand has changed." "That's not necessary, is it?" Director Liu hurriedly added, "Your budget is still worthy of our study." "Have you ever done business of more than three million yuan?" Another deputy director asked this question. "It's more than two million." Ma Min replied to the deputy director, "Three million and more than two million are actually one In the same way, there is no difference in the number of ways, making budgets, importing materials, arranging engineering teams to do things, etc. " "I only ask one question," said the deputy director who asked what level the company is, "for example, if you screwed up, Can your company afford it? " "First of all, we will not do bad things, we will only do beautiful things." Ma Min replied confidently, "We have first-class Excellent management staff and skilled decoration workers. " Ma Min finished speaking with a smile, looking at the unwilling deputy director, "Just now You asked what level of enterprise we are, and I tell you that any decoration company, no matter whether it is a national first-level or second-level enterprise, In fact, it is people like us who do things.Many people like us, in order to get a big business, have to go to the Accounts of some companies, and those companies just sit at home and charge 10% or 15% of the management fee.don't believe you can Go outside and inquire.Don't look at some people who are branded as national first-level enterprises or second-level enterprises. In fact, they are ours. Such people, if something really happened in the decoration, those companies don't care, the company has signed a safety accident and decoration quality agreement with them. A contract where the amount of responsibility is at your own risk.These contracts are legally binding. " "According to what you said," Director Liu pretended to be confused and looked at Ma Min, "For example, if I found out This decoration was given to a decoration company of a second-tier enterprise, and the person who contracted this business messed up the business and pretended Does the decoration company care? " "They take care of things that don't pay, and take care of it to mediate the conflict between Party A and Party B." "Then I understand." "You can't find trouble with the company." Ma Min continued, "For example, if this business The task is done by someone, but this person did not complete it according to the quality and quantity. If you find this company, the company will assign the responsibility to the person. I'll show you the contract.The company's responsibility is to coordinate the contradictions among you, it's that simple.if you lead I feel that my design is good, but I don't believe that my company is reliable. I can immediately get the brand of a national first-class enterprise Come, but then I will increase the management fee by 10%. This management fee is not charged by me, but by the state-level enterprise receive. " "Ten percent, then there will be an extra 300,000 yuan in management fees. I don't think it's necessary." Director Liu said on his plump face. A satisfied smile burst out at his answer. Then Director Liu began to ask about the specific matters in the renovation.Ma Min will leave some specific details to Zhou Xiaofeng Reply. "This is the deputy general manager of our company, who is responsible for project quality and technical management. Zhou Xiaofeng, tell me." "That's it..." Zhou Xiaofeng began to answer some questions raised by Director Liu or a certain deputy director in front of the drawings. Zhou Xiaofeng is very familiar with every drawing, so of course he answered it in a specific and beautiful way.When Zhou Xiaofeng was speaking, Ma Min raised his hand Although he was holding a cigarette, he seemed to be concentrating on smoking, but his eyes were actually observing the expressions of the bureau chiefs.Ma Min noticed that, Director Liu is very satisfied with their performance.Finally, Director Liu looked at the deputy directors on both sides, and said to Ma Min: "This Well, let's take a closer look.Your designs are very good, distinctive and classic, now these Stores are all in one style, I don’t think it can be carious. If you want to do it, we will notify you. "
