Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi walked over with a smile, put his arms around Du Qianqian's waist and picked her up.

Feeling the soft and springy touch, he was almost struck by the sensation.

"Oh, it's getting blurry, stop making trouble." Du Qianqian patted his arm.

Zhou Qi smiled and let her step on his feet. Du Qianqian understood, kissed his face, and asked, "Are the fried eggs I made round?"

"It's not as good as this one of yours." Zhou Qi said as he gently stroked her left side.

Du Qianqian asked him to restrain himself and reminded him that he would soon meet with people from the provincial and municipal governments.

Zhou Qi realized that time was running out, so he turned his attention to preparation. He handed Du Qianqian slippers, went to wash up, and at the same time helped her get a phone so that she could contact Tang Boshi to arrange the meeting.

Just as Du Qianqian was flipping the fried egg and looking for Tang Bosi's number, the phone suddenly rang.

The person on the other end of the phone was Tang Boshi.

"Mr. Du, something big has happened!" Tang Bosi said hurriedly.

Du Qianqian frowned and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Zhou Qi, who was standing nearby, also stopped and looked at Du Qianqian. As the two looked at each other, Tang Boshi briefly explained the situation: there was a problem with the supply of building materials at the project site.

As Du Bowen was not feeling well, Du Qianqian asked Tang Boshi to inform her first if anything happened. Therefore, Du Bowen was still unaware of the matter.

"I'll go to the company right away." Du Qianqian decided.

She quickly informed Zhou Qi of the situation.

Currently, problems with construction materials may cause the progress of the entire project to be hindered, and negotiations with the provincial and municipal governments have to be postponed.

Faced with this sudden situation, although Zhou Qi did not say anything, he and Du Qianqian both knew in their hearts that this might be the work of Gao Qingliang of Dinghua.

According to Tang Boshi, there were problems with more than one type of building material on the construction site.

After just one day, the matter had escalated into such a big fuss. It was obvious that someone was behind it.

Afterwards, Du Qianqian and Zhou Qi rushed to Hualong Teng'ao Real Estate Company.

Zhou Qi immediately called an emergency meeting with Tang Bosi and other executives who had rushed over from the construction site.

"What's the specific situation?" Zhou Qi asked.

A person in charge stood up nervously and said, “Mr. Zhou, a batch of cement that was supposed to be shipped today has run into trouble.

When I called to confirm the shipment quantity this morning, the other party actually said that they had not received our order and delivery order. I contacted the relevant person in charge, but no one answered the phone and the company also said that they could not find anyone. "

Bingsheng Company is one of the top cement suppliers in the country, and this is clearly a deliberate attempt to find fault.

Zhou Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any problem with the payment?"

The person in charge quickly replied: "Absolutely no problem, we have always strictly followed the contract.

This has never happened in previous collaborations, so I don’t know what happened this time.”

Then another person in charge stood up and reported: "Mr. Zhou, the steel bar contacted us proactively, saying that the boiler needed urgent maintenance and the production schedule was affected.

They offered to pay us compensation if we wanted to terminate the contract, and an additional 5 percent as compensation if we could wait.”

"Any other questions?" Zhou Qi continued to ask.

The heads of other projects looked at each other. One of them wanted to speak, but was stopped by the middle-aged man from the purchasing department with his eyes.

He coughed lightly, stood up tremblingly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with his head down, not daring to look Zhou Qi in the eye:

"Mr. Zhou, not only are there problems with the steel bars and cement, but the insulation boards, concrete, and sand and gravel have also had problems to varying degrees.

I urgently collected some information and found that one-third of the construction materials could not be supplied in the short term..."

Zhou Qi looked at the person in charge. Just one look made the purchasing manager in his forties feel like the end of the world was coming.

He lowered his head as if he wanted to crawl into the crack of the ground, and he didn't dare to look Zhou Qi in the eye.

The problem with the supply of building materials proves that he, as the head of the purchasing department, has failed in his duty.

Everyone quickly glanced at the person in charge, then turned their eyes to Zhou Qi.

Everyone knew almost nothing about this new young boss and no one dared to speak easily.

However, they noticed that there was no sternness in Zhou Qi's eyes and his attitude was calm. He did not show any anger or anxiety about the building materials problem.

Tang Boshi looked around, then looked at Du Qianqian and Zhou Qi. Seeing that Du Qianqian's eyes were also focused on Zhou Qi, he mustered up the courage to say:

"Mr. Zhou, it's understandable if one or two materials have problems, but one-third of the construction materials are facing supply cuts. It's obvious that someone is deliberately making things difficult for us in the supply chain."

Zhou Qi remained silent. How could he not understand such an obvious thing?

This method is simple and crude, and he has actually used it before, just like when the Haishi Huangpu Riverside project encountered trouble, he used the influence of the upstream supply chain to defeat Dinghui Building Materials in one fell swoop.

"Has the project ever encountered similar problems before?" Zhou Qi asked.

Tang Boshi said affirmatively: "No, our project has always been the focus of the city's organization, and the policy support is also sufficient."

The rest of the unspoken words were obvious: I had just had an argument with Gao Qingliang of Dinghua yesterday, and today there was a problem with the supply of building materials. This was too much of a coincidence.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Boshi said, "Mr. Zhou, could it be Dinghua's side..."

It does seem to be the case, but Zhou Qi still hasn't made any statement. He won't jump to conclusions without solid evidence.

No matter who the opponent is, the most important thing now is to solve the problem rather than getting bogged down in finding out who is behind it.

"How long can our existing building materials last?" Zhou Qi asked.

As the general commander of the project, Tang Boshi was fully aware of the situation on site and responded immediately:

“Except for the high consumption of cement and steel, there are no major problems with other materials.

Steel can probably last a week, but cement stocks are only enough for four days, and after deducting the transportation time, there are only two days left.”

"If there is no new supply within two days, or if an alternative supplier cannot be found, the project will have to be suspended," Tang Boshi added.

“Stoppage is absolutely not an option.”

Zhou Qi said firmly: "This will not only affect the impression of provincial and municipal organizations on us, but may also trigger a series of negative chain reactions, which will play into the hands of our opponents."

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was aware of the interests involved.

No one wants to stop work easily, especially for a large project like South Bank, which requires huge materials every day.

Temporary changes to suppliers will either result in a significant increase in costs or inability to meet demand.

Zhou Qi decided to call Su Qingda. Su Qingda, who received the call, seemed a little surprised and asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any instructions?"

Qingda Building Materials is the largest supplier of building materials in Hai City, occupying 70% of the market share, and is also one of the important enterprises of Hualong Holdings.

In the past, Qingda Building Materials saved Hualong a lot of money and ensured the quality of materials and transportation efficiency.
