Chapter 48 Commencement Ceremony
Time always flies by, and the inquiry and bidding for factory construction ended three days ago. Lu Xiangyue invited a total of five companies to participate in the bidding, two state companies and three state-owned companies.
What is unexpected is that these five companies attach great importance to this inquiry and bidding, and the price competition is also fierce. In the end, after three rounds of quotations, Xingcheng Construction Corporation won the bid. The comprehensive price was 2 percentage points lower than the other four companies.
Left and right, Liu Xu finally made the decision and Xingcheng Construction Corporation won.
Maybe some people will be happy, and some people will be disappointed. During this period, some people also found Liu Xu through connections, but when it came to quality and safety, even Liu Xu did not dare to be careless, and all parties were rejected one by one with excuses.
For the first time, Liu Xu realized that being a Party A was not easy. Human relations and sophistication had to be considered, the interests of the relationship had to be balanced, and safety and quality had to be ensured. All of these had to be carefully considered.
The overall planning covers an area of 220 acres, leaving room for future expansion. A total of 320 million Chinese dollars was invested in the construction of the first-phase factory building and the factory office building. Twelve rooms are 50 meters wide and 150 meters long.
Standard factory building, five three-story buildings, including one laboratory building, one administrative office building and three staff dormitories.
Each building covers an area of almost 2,000 square meters. Only the laboratory building has an extra underground floor. There are two separate laboratories underground, a biochemistry laboratory and a new materials laboratory. This is what Liu Xu has designed for himself.
A temporary laboratory was prepared. The upper three floors were also divided into six different experimental areas.
Originally, the factories, office buildings, laboratories and dormitories designed by Liu Xu and Basha were all very beautiful and handsome, with high level of intelligence and powerful functional facilities. But when the cost was calculated, it was a bit too scary.
The plan was changed again and again, and it turned into something similar to common factory and office buildings in industrial areas. This caused Liu Xu to be very uninterested when signing the general contract contract. He was really unwilling to do so.
Today is the day to hold the official groundbreaking ceremony. The entire factory area is very lively, and even the city secretary is present.
The simple stage was filled with flowers and flowers, hundreds of empty seats were already filled, and Liu Xu was also very busy.
Not many people were invited. In addition to his own relatives, there were also a few friends in Star City, including Yi Hao. He also asked himself for this project and wanted to do something. After thinking about it, Liu Xu agreed to help him later.
Introduce the relevant person in charge of Star City Construction Company.
Liu Xu was chatting with Wang Liyan, Zhou Yuqing, and the secretary of the new district Zheng Xuewen. Liu Xu was also a little touched that they could come here in person. After all, they all shouldered important positions and were very busy on weekdays.
Lu Xiangyue came over with a smile and said to Liu Xu: "Boss, it's almost time, we can start."
Liu Xu nodded and said to Wang Liyan: "Secretary, you are the parent officer of Xingcheng. Please come to the stage to cheer us up."
Wang Liyan did not delay, and said with a smile: "Haha! Then I will use Mr. Liu's stage to say a few words."
Liu Xu was pulled onto the stage by Wang Liyan, and when he picked up the microphone, the scene fell silent.
"First of all, on behalf of Mr. Liu, I would like to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend this groundbreaking ceremony. Today is a good day and an important day for the people of Star City. I have great expectations for this enterprise.
No, I have come twice in a month. I want to say that I may come more often in the future! There must be many people thinking, why is this?
In fact, it’s very simple. This company is worthy of me leaving my job and coming here. And I also firmly believe that this company will become a star pillar industry in Xiangzhou in the future, and it will accelerate the development of Star City and boost the competitiveness of Star City’s core industries!”
After Wang Liyan finished speaking, he smiled and said to Liu Xu in a half-ridiculing, half-serious tone: "Mr. Liu, I am very much looking forward to the future of the company. You won't let what I said today become empty words and lies, will you?!"
Wang Liyan's words caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and Liu Xu could only smile and promise: "I am full of confidence in the future of my company. With so many relatives and friends who support me, and with the support of so many leaders, I will definitely
Keep your feet on the ground and work hard not to disappoint your relatives or leaders. Try to deliver a satisfactory answer in the future, be worthy of everyone's trust and support, and contribute more to the development of Star City."
Wang Liyan smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Mr. Liu, don't feel pressured. Doing a good job in the business is the most important thing. We, the parents and officials of Star City, are your biggest backers. We will spare no effort to support capable companies."
Amid everyone's enthusiastic applause, Liu Xu loudly announced the start of construction. Amid the roar of machines and the deafening salute, a group of people dug a handful of soil with long shovels to signify the formal start of construction.
After the ceremony, Liu Xu wanted to stay with Wang Liyan and his entourage for a meal and express his gratitude, but Wang Liyan smiled and refused. He said that as long as Liu Xu ran the business well, it would be the best thank you to him.
Finally, he said with a smile that he would treat him to dinner when the factory made money, and he would definitely come then. In his words, the money now should be spent wisely.
Liu Xu was very moved after hearing this. He put the group of people in the car and watched them leave.
Looking at the car driving away, Lin Changqing, the general manager of Xingcheng Construction Corporation, smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Liu, the leader attaches great importance to your company and has repeatedly told me to ensure the quality and construction schedule.
I have been working on projects for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen Secretary Wang personally preside over the construction opening ceremony of a private enterprise. Mr. Liu really has a bright future!"
Liu Xu nodded with a smile and said: "It's an honor for you to think highly of me! I need to trouble Mr. Lin to worry more about the factory. If it is completed as soon as possible, I can start production early, so that I can be worthy of the support of the leaders in the city and district."
"That's right! That's right! Even if the leader doesn't tell you, Xingcheng Construction Corporation will do a good job in any project in hand. Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, I will personally monitor this project and strive for early completion and acceptance." Lin Changqing responded.
Liu Xu pulled Yi Hao, who had stayed behind, and introduced him to Lin Changqing: "This is a brother of mine who also works in engineering. Mr. Lin will see what can be done here and take care of him.
But there is one thing I want to make clear. Under the same circumstances, Mr. Lin can just follow the arrangements. Everyone must be treated equally when it comes to quality. You can’t say someone is special just because I introduced it.”
Lin Changqing smiled and shook hands with Yi Hao. The two negotiated for a few words and agreed to go to the office for an interview tomorrow.
Seeing Yi Hao's joyful expression, Liu Xu said with a helpless smile: "Brother, don't let your guard down, you can't let your brother down!"
When I came to the office, my two sisters and Nangong Caiyue were having a lively chat.
Seeing Liu Xu coming over, the eldest sister couldn't help but praise: "Brother, I can't believe that you can still reach this point! However, although work matters are very important, you and Caiyue cannot be delayed.
Yeah. Don’t stay at home every day if you have nothing to do. Chat with Caiyue more. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk more often."
Liu Xu glanced at Nangong Caiyue and his second sister who were silent, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it that the factory is not on the right track yet? There have been a lot of things recently. I'll be fine after I finish my busy work."
The second sister stood up and said: "Liu Xu, I don't care if you are busy or not, you can't delay your life-long events! There will still be time if you squeeze it. Hold on tight, don't always give up.
My eldest sister and I are worried. If you lose such a good girl like Caiyue, I will not recognize you as my brother, but I will only recognize you as my sister-in-law!"
Nangong Caiyue smiled awkwardly and said, "Second sister, if Liu Xu wants to marry me, it depends on his performance. I haven't agreed to marry him yet."
Chapter completed!
