Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 490 Real Entrepreneurs Need to Add Money!

Wang Gui looked at the "General Manager's Office" sign in front of the office door, with a deep smile on his face.

The construction company was finally restructured successfully, and his efforts over the years were not in vain.

Wang Gui was among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. He studied at an ordinary university in the province, so he did not have the opportunity to go to a big city. After graduating from university, he was assigned to a construction company in Qinghe City.

It was the early 1980s. In a small place like Qinghe, the value of college students was quite high. Wang Gui had just started working and started as a middle-level leader. A few years later, Wang Gui, who had just turned 30, entered a construction company.

The future of our leadership team is limitless.

By the end of the 1980s, domestic construction companies also began to adopt the manager responsibility system. Wang Gui seized the opportunity of the times and completed several large projects, and soon climbed to the position of second-in-command in the construction company.

In the subsequent wave of state-owned enterprise reform, construction companies also began to undergo corporate restructuring.

The construction company was originally a subsidiary of the Construction Bureau, and the top leader of the construction company was also a deputy of the Construction Bureau.

During the construction company's joint-stock reform process, the top leader was obviously unwilling to give up his position as deputy director of the Construction Bureau, so he resigned from his position as top leader of the construction company and returned to work as a leader with peace of mind.

Therefore, the position of general manager of the restructured Qinghe Construction Co., Ltd. fell on Wang Gui.

Although Wang Gui became the general manager of Qinghe Construction Company as he wished, he also knew that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy and that the future road of Qinghe Construction Company was also full of thorns.

After entering the 1990s, although the country was engaged in infrastructure construction, the ones that really prospered were central enterprises or construction companies owned by high-ranking officials. Generally speaking, construction companies at the municipal and county levels were not having an easy time.

There are also many local state-owned construction companies that have gone bankrupt or been merged.

Looking at the ranking of the top 500 domestic construction companies in the future, companies under the three "China-prefixed" companies, China Construction, China Railway Construction and China Communications Construction, account for more than half, and most of the rest are engineering companies owned by senior officials and private companies.

There are only a handful of construction companies.

State-owned construction companies at the prefecture and county levels are far inferior to the three major "Chinese-headed" central enterprises in terms of scale, design, construction planning, and construction capabilities. It is normal for them to eventually lose in the fierce market competition.

As for private construction companies, they basically existed in the form of construction teams in the 1990s. They could only take on some simple outsourcing projects, and none of the decent large projects fell to private construction companies.

The fundamental reason is that construction is a very special industry, and companies engaged in the construction industry need a lot of qualifications.

Building roads requires qualifications for building roads, building bridges requires qualifications for building bridges, and building buildings requires qualifications for building buildings. Highways, railways, ports, mines, hydropower projects, communication projects, etc. all require corresponding qualifications.

It can be said that it can be as small as digging foundations or as large as building nuclear power plants. Without relevant qualifications, companies cannot get projects.

Therefore, those that eventually became the top 500 construction companies were all subsidiaries of the three major "Chinese-prefixed" central enterprises. It was precisely because the three major "Chinese-prefixed" central enterprises had all the qualifications in the construction industry. In that era of vigorous development of infrastructure, they

If you can monopolize most projects, you will naturally be able to develop and grow smoothly.

At that time, private enterprises had just begun to develop. With the technology and scale of private construction companies, it was impossible to obtain complex construction qualifications, and there was no way to carry out large projects, and the enterprises could not develop.

The original Qinghe City Construction Company, as a state-owned enterprise, had some construction qualifications. Although it could not build nuclear power plants, it could still undertake basic infrastructure projects such as ordinary high-rise buildings, ordinary roads, municipal projects, and ordinary ports.

.

After being restructured into Qinghe Construction Co., Ltd., these construction qualifications still exist, which is also the biggest asset of Qinghe Construction Company.

With these construction qualifications, Qinghe Construction Company can take on several large projects. At least in Qinghe City, no construction company can compete with it, and the construction company is completely in a monopoly position.

In 1996, the competitive pressure from the three major "China-headed" central enterprises was not very great.

At this time, the Central Enterprise Management Committee had not yet been established, China Construction and China Communications Construction still had some administrative attributes, and China Railway Construction was still under the management of the Ministry of Railways.

Therefore, in terms of operational flexibility, local construction companies are still better. In other words, local construction companies can still make a living at this time.

A few years later, the three major "Chinese-prefixed" central enterprises carried out reforms, and the hard days of local construction companies came.

For example, after China Railway Construction broke away from the Ministry of Railways, it immediately split into more than a dozen engineering bureaus and established companies respectively.

Later, the Engineering Bureau became a separate group, and the construction units under the Engineering Bureau were split again and established separate companies, so units like China Railway XX Bureau Group No. XX Engineering Co., Ltd. appeared.

China Railway Construction easily created two to three hundred subordinate companies, and then dragged them out to fight in groups. How could local construction companies with no scale survive and had no choice but to surrender?

These companies that participated in the group fight have become the top 500 construction companies in the group war, and have become behemoths, and other companies cannot compete with them.

Therefore, Wang Gui needs to use his monopoly position in Qinghe City to quickly develop and expand the company before the wolves arrive.

"The Municipal People's Hospital will build a new building, which will become a new landmark building in the city; the Municipal Meteorological Bureau will also be relocated to the mountain, and a new meteorological building will be built again; in addition, the Municipal Television Station will also build a high-rise building.

What kind of satellite receivers are needed? The widening project of Jianguo Road is also a key municipal project in the city next year..."

Wang Gui counted with his fingers and found that there were quite a few projects that could be received in the future. If they could take over all these projects, then Qinghe Construction Company could at least grow into a local bully.

Just as Wang Gui was thinking about the future development direction of his company, his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Wang Gui picked up the phone and Ding Youliang's voice rang out from the receiver: "Mr. Wang, congratulations! The construction company has been successfully restructured. From now on, your Qinghe Construction will have great ambitions!"

"Same joy," Wang Gui said casually. He had received too many congratulatory calls today.

Ding Youliang then said: "Mr. Wang, do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together? I'll give you a good celebration!"

"Oh, I have been really busy in the past two days. The company's restructuring has just been successful. I have a lot of things here. I have to deal with many things. How about we change the day?" Wang Gui refused.

"How about tomorrow night?" Ding Youliang asked.

"It's really hard to say!" Wang Gui sighed deliberately and declined again: "Everything is difficult at the beginning! Now the company is not on the right track. As the general manager, I can only work overtime every day. After all, the whole company

Everyone is pointing at me to eat!"

"I understand." Ding Youliang paused and then said: "Mr. Wang, in addition to congratulating you this time, I also plan to talk to you about construction machinery.

As far as I know, the next few major construction projects in Qinghe City will definitely be undertaken by you. When the time comes, it will be necessary to purchase some construction machinery. I hope Mr. Wang can take care of our business!"

Wang Gui thought in his mind that after the company's restructuring was completed, he must buy the construction machinery. Without construction machinery, how could he open a construction company and take on projects?

Moreover, in the future, construction companies will expand their operations and take on more business, which will naturally require more construction machinery.

If you calculate it this way, Ding Youliang really participated in this dinner party!

Thinking of this, Wang Gui said, "Mr. Ding, I have time on weekend nights, how about we arrange it on that day?"

"No problem! Have a great weekend. After dinner, we can find a place to relax!" Ding Youliang let out a sigh of relief. He felt that half of the deal was already concluded!

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Weidong's big car slowly drove into the courtyard of Fukang Engineering.

As soon as Li Weidong walked into the office, Zhang Tao followed behind.

"Why did you come here! I've been waiting for you all morning!" Zhang Tao said with some complaints.

"In the morning, I went to the Technical College and took a look at the situation there." Li Weidong changed his voice and asked: "Is something wrong?"

"As I told you on the phone, Ding Youliang from the Heavy Machinery Factory has already made a dinner appointment with Wang Gui!" Zhang Tao said anxiously.

"Where did you get the news? Is it accurate?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"Of course it's accurate! The manager of the Oriental Hotel told me personally that Ding Youliang had reserved the most luxurious private room in the hotel, ordered the most expensive set of dishes, and planned to treat Wang Gui to dinner on the weekend." Zhang Tao answered.

.

"Even if Ding Youliang booked the most luxurious private room, how did the manager of the Oriental Hotel know that Ding Youliang invited Wang Gui?" Li Weidong asked subconsciously.

"Of course there are ways. For example, ask how many guests there are, whether there are any ethnic minorities among the guests, whether the guests have any taboos, whether they are allergic to any food, or what the guests like to eat. Just a few words.

You can get the information out!" Zhang Tao replied.

"I see, then we have to be careful when we treat guests in the future to avoid being tricked into taking away business secrets!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"It's already this time, why are you still paying attention to such insignificant things!" Zhang Tao frowned and said, "Now that Ding Youliang and Wang Gui have made an appointment for a dinner, the heavy machinery factory has already taken the lead!"

"No rush, let Ding Youliang go talk to Wang Gui first, and we will contact Wang Gui in two days." Li Weidong said calmly.

Zhang Tao stamped his feet anxiously: "In two days, maybe the day lilies will be cold! In our Qinghe City, in the past, only the municipal construction company had the qualifications to build bridges, build roads and build high-rise buildings.

Now that the Municipal Construction Company has been restructured into Qinghe Construction Company, then all major projects in Qinghe City will definitely be monopolized by Qinghe Construction, and other construction companies will at most take on small projects!

In other words, Qinghe Construction Company will become our largest customer in the future. If Qinghe Construction Company is taken away by the heavy machinery factory, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold on the ground in Qinghe!

And I heard that next year our city will start construction of several major projects, such as the new building of the People's Hospital, the relocation of the Meteorological Bureau, the TV station to build a news building, and the urban road widening project. These will cost several dollars in total.

Hundreds of millions!

How many excavators and loaders would be needed to build so many buildings! How many rollers would be needed for the road widening project of dozens of kilometers in the urban area! This can generate sales of 100 million at least!"

Li Weidong laughed: "Not only what you said, our reservoir in the upper reaches of Qinghe River will be expanded, and then a new water plant will be built in the north. In addition, to meet the needs of flood control and drought relief, the city also plans to build a dam.

The city has already started on-the-spot research on reservoirs and dams, and will put them forward at the meeting early next year. These two projects cannot be completed without more than one billion!"

"More than a billion? So much! Real or fake?" Zhang Tao was shocked.

For a small city like Qinghe City, spending more than one billion to build public projects is definitely a huge expense.

"How can I lie to you?" Li Weidong continued: "Our Qinghe River floods every few years. When I was working in a transportation company, when it rained in the summer, I didn't even have time to go home.

, I have to stay in the dispatch room all the time, waiting to participate in flood fighting and rescue operations.

The city has long wanted to completely solve this problem! The terrain in our urban area is not high to begin with, and it is easy for river water to flow back. If the flood problem is not solved, there will be such floods and droughts every year, not only will there be losses in agriculture, but also in agriculture.

Industry cannot develop either.”

There are many cities along the river in the north. There will be floods in summer and drought in winter. Therefore, it is normal for many northern cities to fight against floods in summer and drought in winter.

The best way to deal with these natural disasters is to build water conservancy projects, such as reservoirs and dams, which can store water and discharge floods, avoid floods and alleviate droughts.

The construction of water conservancy is expensive, and there have been many examples in the past dynasties of water conservancy projects draining the treasury.

But this also means that the construction of water conservancy projects is a big piece of meat, and many industries can make a full meal out of it.

Zhang Tao became even more anxious when he learned that the city wanted more than one billion to build water conservancy projects.

"Chairman, you know that there is such a big project, why don't you contact Wang Gui quickly! There are only four or five companies qualified to repair water conservancy projects in our province, and Wang Guike is one of them.

!" Zhang Tao said.

Li Weidong said calmly: "Don't worry, the order can't escape! With Ding Youliang's little tricks, he can't pry away such a large number of orders."

"It's hard to say. Ding Youliang has been in this business for so many years, but there are many conspiracies and tricks!" Zhang Tao said.

"It sounds like you have suffered a loss! Tell me quickly, what kind of conspiracy does Ding Youliang have?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Zhang Tao sighed and said, "This Ding Youliang is very good at giving gifts. Do you remember that he got a research project from the Seventh Five-Year Science and Technology Research Plan, which was equivalent to using the country's money to do research and development for himself."

"I remember, it is the core technology of loaders! It is also because of this technology that the loaders of heavy machinery factories can widen the gap with other companies and become the leading level in the country." Li Weidong nodded.

"The reason why Ding Youliang was able to get this project was by giving gifts! I heard that he stayed in the capital for more than two months and sent a lot of gifts before he won this scientific research project."

Zhang Tao sighed softly as he spoke, and continued: "If I had had the ability to give gifts back then, maybe this research project would have been mine, and the transfer machine factory would not have almost closed down!"

After hearing this, Li Weidong thought to himself: With Zhang Tao's ability, even if you know how to give gifts, you don't have the vision and courage!

Then Li Weidong asked: "Are you worried that Ding Youliang gave Wang Gui a gift and then took the order?"

"Based on what I know about Ding Youliang, he must have prepared a generous gift, and maybe he will give it to Wang Gui at the dinner! Our order will be taken away by then!" Zhang Tao said.

"You worry too much!" Li Weidong sighed and continued; "Although you know Ding Youliang very well, you don't know Wang Gui! He is a real entrepreneur."

"Entrepreneurs don't accept gifts?" Zhang Tao asked somewhat arrogantly.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said half-jokingly: "A real entrepreneur will not be tempted by a small profit, so he has to add money!"

During the dinner, after three drinks, Ding Youliang took out a beautiful wooden box with a smile and handed it to Wang Gui's hand.

"Mr. Wang, I wish you great success, and I also wish your Qinghe Construction business will prosper!" Ding Youliang said with a smile.

Wang Gui took the box in his hand, shook it slightly, and found that it was quite heavy. When he opened it, he found a big rooster made of gold, with the four words "Golden Rooster Creeping Dawn" engraved on it.

Wang Gui was shocked. If this chicken was pure gold, it would be worth a lot of money even if it was sold by the gram. Not to mention the cost of craftsmanship, which would make it even more valuable.

Ding Youliang continued, "Mr. Wang, I know you are a rooster, so I specially prepared this golden rooster to announce the dawn. I also hope that under your leadership, Mr. Wang, your company will thrive like a rooster!"

"

Looking at the golden rooster in the box, Wang Gui already understood Ding Youliang's intention. Ding Youliang gave such an expensive gift in the hope that the construction company could purchase construction machinery from the heavy machinery factory in the future.

It has to be said that Ding Youliang is very good at giving gifts. He knew that Wang Gui was born in the year of the Rooster, so he specially sent a golden rooster. This not only showed the value of the gift, but also showed that the gift was prepared with great care.

A valuable and thoughtful gift, your sincerity is instantly felt! Most people cannot reach this level of gift-giving.

Ding Youliang has tried this trick time and time again. He has used this method to get many orders.

However, Wang Gui closed the box and returned the gift to Ding Youliang simply, saying firmly:

"Mr. Ding, I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is too expensive and I can't accept it!"

Wang Gui's resolute look was obviously not a false refusal, he really did not intend to ask for this gift.

Ding Youliang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that such an expensive and sincere gift would not be able to catch Wang Gui's eyes!

"What's going on? Are you not satisfied with such a big golden rooster? Is it because the gift is too little and you need to pay more?"
