Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

“Although the cost difference when purchasing from Qingda is not much, we still chose other suppliers to reduce the trouble,” Su Qingda explained.

Zhou Qi got straight to the point: "Hualong Teng'ao's colleagues will contact you. You just need to provide whatever materials are needed. Qiao Xueying will advance the funds first. Just keep a clear account."

Although he didn't know Zhou Qi's specific considerations, Su Qingda still agreed: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I know what to do."

"The most important thing now is cement, and we need to prepare enough of it," Zhou Qi reminded.

Then Zhou Qi turned to the head of the purchasing department and said, "Write down this contact information."

The head of the purchasing department was very excited to get the new resources. He quickly recorded it and promised to complete the task.

However, Zhou Qi reminded him seriously: "The supply has been solved, you just need to confirm the quantity and ensure the quality.

If you can't even handle this little thing, you might want to consider changing jobs." These words were merciless.

The interruption in the supply of building materials was aimed directly at Hualong Teng'ao. Although the blame should not be entirely placed on one individual, it did expose a major flaw in the procurement process - there was no way to deal with the supply interruption.

Ultimately, this is still a problem for the person in charge of the purchasing department.

The adversary's attack was so precise, obviously they knew our needs and inventory very well, which makes us wonder whether there was an internal information leak.

Once the progress of the project is hindered, it will cause reputational damage both externally and internally.

Fortunately, there is Qingda Building Materials as a backup channel, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult. But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, we will discuss it after the matter is resolved.

Zhou Qi ignored the purchasing manager's response and asked Tang Bozhi, "Our company has its own legal department, right?"

Tang Boshi nodded in response and asked Zhou Qi about his intentions.

“We negotiated with all the suppliers who were standing in our way with only one condition: fulfill the contract.

If the goods cannot be delivered on time, we will sue them and will not accept out-of-court settlements," Zhou Qi said.

Tang Boshi was a little surprised and asked, "Wouldn't it be too harsh to do this?

Once the lawsuit is filed, there will be almost no chance of future cooperation. Some companies are industry leaders in China, and a stalemate in the relationship will be detrimental to the development of subsequent projects.”

"They cut off the supply without reason and didn't take Hualong Teng'ao seriously at all. How can we talk about future cooperation if they look down on us like this?

If you don’t act tough, do you have to compromise? If you want to develop in Hualong Teng’ao, you must be brave enough to take responsibility and do your job well. "

Everyone was silent and the meeting ended in a tense atmosphere.

Zhou Qi was quite dissatisfied with this matter. Many companies stopped supplying him for various reasons, and some even openly challenged him.

Yet the team was hesitant to even take legal action, an attitude that could be described as either hesitancy or a lack of courage.

How can the company develop in the long run by relying on these people? This matter needs to be discussed with Du Bowen, and consider replacing a group of more courageous talents.

Being competent is important, but being without fighting spirit is not what he needs. Tang Boshi realized that his words were inappropriate, but they also reflected his indecisive style due to his past work experience in state-owned enterprises.

He wanted to explain something, but after looking at Zhou Qi a few times, he swallowed his words back.

He turned around to deal with other things.

After everyone left, only Du Qianqian and Zhou Qi were left in the room.

She asked softly, "Why are you so angry?"

Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "I'm just putting some pressure on them. We have to be tough on cutting off the supply.

Our project is not small. If we can’t even solve basic issues like the contract, how can we talk about other cooperation?

It also allows everyone to be more assertive when communicating with other companies, which can have a deterrent effect.”

"But these people..."

Zhou Qi added: "Although it is for the good of the company to crack down on them, they may not be able to keep up with the company's pace."

Du Qianqian understood what he meant, hesitated for a moment and said: "These people are the elders of Hualong Teng'ao.

My father recruited people everywhere in order to develop rapidly. It was not easy to build a team and maintain stability in a short period of time. "

“Maybe there are some areas that are not as good as we would like.”

“But if we change them all at once, it might cause unrest in the company,” she said.

Zhou Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will discuss this with Brother Du. It will depend on the situation and won't be too radical."

Du Qianqian nodded and asked, "What about the meeting arrangements between the provincial and municipal governments? Aren't we going to meet today?"

"Let's wait and see." Zhou Qi replied.

"What are you waiting for?" Du Qianqian asked puzzledly.

"Dinghua, Gao Qingliang..."

Zhou Qi revealed: "If he was responsible for the supply cut, it would be too arrogant to restrict our development based on this alone.

He may be trying to send a message to threaten us. I think he will take action.”

Du Qianqian blinked and said, "Are you saying that Gao Qingliang will come to the company today?"

"They will probably take the opportunity to test it out." Zhou Qi said.

Leaving the conference room, I came to Du Qianqian's office. Although she seldom came here, everything was ready.

In the past, Du Bowen often handled matters in this office when he inspected work.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Bozhi came in to report: "Mr. Jay, Mr. Du, Dinghua made a public appearance, Gao Qingliang accepted an interview..."

As he was speaking, a scene of Gao Qingliang being interviewed about the development of the North Shore project appeared on TV.

At the same time, the office phone rang. Du Qianqian answered it and told Zhou Qi: "Just as you expected, Gao Qingliang is here."

Zhou Qi looked at the TV and said calmly, "Let him in."

Soon, Gao Qingliang walked into the office with a smile on his face, led by a staff member. He glanced at the three people, looked at himself on TV, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are very concerned about the development of North Shore."

Zhou Qi smiled, picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, and then said to Gao Qingliang:

"We are in the same province, so the development of the north and south sides is of course closely related. It seems that Mr. Gao rushed here just after finishing the interview. He is so anxious to see me. Is there something important?"

"It's nothing, actually. I just have a lot of friends. When they heard that I invested in a project on the North Shore and it's now officially launched, they all wanted to help."

Gao Qingliang smiled and said, "Maybe this has some impact on your project, so I came here to explain it. It was definitely not intentional."

Zhou Qi responded with a smile: "Boss Gao, are you here to show me your strength?"

"Whatever you want."

Gao Qingliang replied: “But I think it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

I am not greedy for profit, I just hope that the bridge construction and the South Bank project can give me some share, so as to at least give me some face."

"Not giving anything is really a bit disrespectful."

Gao Qingliang went on to say: "If I act too harshly, it is inevitable that my friends will get angry. They will stand up for me and I can't stop them."

“Although it caused some misunderstandings, I cannot let people down.

But if Mr. Zhou agrees to cooperate, then we will become family, develop together, create common interests, and these misunderstandings will disappear."
