Chapter 1293 A Reward Continued

"I promised you before, what else should I consider?" Xiaohui smiled wryly: "Fatty, you really assign work to others, which forces me to have no rest time at all, so I have to hurry up while you are doing design work." Learn English at the same time."

"Young man! It's definitely right to learn more things." Guo Tailai said with a chuckle: "Look at my big boss, isn't he forced to learn Russian and Ukrainian?"

"I'm willing to do it myself, but I have to ask my grandfather." Xiao Hui hesitated a little: "I don't know if I can go abroad at will in this situation, I'll talk about it after asking."

This is of course necessary. Xiaohui has a special status, so he must ask clearly.

"I'll ask later." Guo Tailai stopped Xiaohui from thinking of making a call now: "I have another question. You know a lot about this line of business. Help me figure it out."

"What's the problem?" Xiaohui asked.

"You also know that it is definitely unrealistic to expect those John Bull construction workers in the UK to build the stadium for me quickly." Guo Tailai said while shaking his head: "The tallest building in the whole of the UK is still a building built in 1928. For decades, John Bulls have not pursued higher pursuits. Normal commuting, various holidays, various high benefits, no overtime, and good food and drink, the construction cost is so high that it can You want to cry without tears, and the speed of construction is so slow that it makes you doubt life."

The government approved the construction of the future British high-speed rail project, but in the next 17 months, the progress of the project remained mostly on paper. The only tangible result was the demolition of a long-abandoned tunnel platform used to store carriages at Euston (the railway's London departure point). The company responsible for the construction said the achievement "took nine months and employed 70 people" and was "a milestone" in the progress of the project.

Really let these guys who come up with a "milestone" at every turn to build the new White Hart Lane Stadium, I am afraid that Guo Tailai will be like the Tottenham team in the future dream, waiting at least ten years to build a new stadium, and the budget is too low multiplied several times.

"I want to finish with quality, quantity and time, and I'm not used to their bad habits." Guo Tailai said: "So, I think it's better to find a capable construction team from China. You are familiar with the domestic industry. A team that can be pulled out? If possible, this project can be regarded as a gift from me to China.”

"There must be a team." Xiaohui was a little surprised: "But, how do you pass the bidding process abroad? Can the London City Government agree?"

"Why don't you agree?" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "I'm a privately owned club. I build the stadium privately, and it's not a government project? As the owner, should the London City Government decide who to choose?"

"But the officials of their city government definitely hope that through your project, they can stimulate part of the employment rate and boost the economy." Although Xiaohui is not a professional in politics, he often sees Zhang Laohai and the others handling official business. Some government officials still think It's clear: "If you make such a decision, I'm afraid they will secretly trip you up."

"It's easy to handle!" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "I can invite public bids! However, I require a very tight construction period. If you can't do it, then you can't blame me, right?"

"They can win the bid first, and then ask for a higher budget and longer construction period when the project is halfway done." Xiaohui has really studied some rogue tricks in engineering construction at home and abroad, and what he just said is just One of the rogue tricks, when the time comes, the money will be spent, and the project will not be completed. Under some pressure, the owner, especially the government, will have to bear higher construction costs and a longer construction period.

Why is this method so familiar? Guo Tailai felt familiar. In this case, it is even more impossible to use John Bull's construction company.

"I asked for a guarantee in the bidding that if the project cannot be completed on time and within the budget, will I have to be compensated with a high amount of compensation that exceeds the budget?" Guo Tailai asked, "And this clause must be implemented in the contract, so that they can Will you play like this?"

"They may sign, but if they breach the contract, they will really file a lawsuit. They will bankrupt the company casually. You can't do anything about them." Xiaohui shook his head and said, "Even if you win the lawsuit with liquidated damages, it's impossible." Received. After all, we are abroad, and we are foreigners."

"It doesn't matter." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "I know a few people in England, Charles, Mrs. Yi, they can still be regarded as local snakes who can talk."

Hearing the two people mentioned by Guo Tai, Xiaohui couldn't help being speechless. These two people are not only able to talk in the UK? However, according to British rules, it seems that they cannot directly interfere in certain specific affairs.

After Xiaohui expressed his doubts, Guo Tailai thought about it: "Then I request that before bidding, a full amount of compensation must be paid to UBS's supervision account. After the construction is completed and accepted Refund. Well, I accept compensation in dollars, euros, pounds, and renminbi, but I have to pay a certain amount, so they haven’t run away now, have they?”

"The request is very reasonable." Xiaohui said with a smile: "But the city government officials will not be satisfied."

"I have given enough bidding opportunities with the same conditions. Can British construction companies be blamed for not winning the bid?" Guo Tailai expressed helplessness: "I made the bidding conditions public and explained the reasons for setting them. They themselves explained to the Bai Lilies."

"Explain what?" Xiao Hui asked puzzled, "What does this have to do with the fans?"

"As I said, before the stadium is built, no extra penny will be invested in the team's signings." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "If so many Bai Lihe feel that in order to satisfy the city government officials, in order to make one or two The construction company is satisfied, and some construction workers like uncles are satisfied, but they have to endure the situation that the team cannot introduce big-name stars for several years, and the results are lagging behind. Additional investment means that the funds that should have been invested in the team's signings were lost Do you think the white lilies are willing to exchange the profits of the construction company and the good reputation of the officials in the construction industry? Perhaps, the city government officials can not care about the voices of hundreds of thousands of white lilies in London?"

Xiaohui was stunned, and after a while, he suddenly said to Guo Tailai: "Fatty, has anyone told you that you are so insidious?"

Guo Tailai will no longer invest in signings for the team before the stadium is completed. This news has been released long ago. Everyone understands that it costs a lot to build a stadium! But now Xiaohui realizes that this is actually a big hole!

"I'm so simple and honest, why would someone say I'm insidious?" Guo Tailai said with a grin.

"Okay! Someone has to be the first." Xiaohui sighed: "Fatty, you are so insidious!"

"You should call it wisdom!" Guo Tailai said with a shameless smile: "Then do you think that the cost is 20% higher than the normal budget, but the construction period is extremely demanding, and it may reach a large amount of 400 million euros to 400 million pounds?" live, will the country accept it?”

Guo Tailai's spending in Guatemala, through this project, should be able to have enough returns to the country, right?
