"Disaster!"

Gu Daguo shook his head and frowned and said to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, I'm going to hide it from you. It's too difficult for you to get the engine of the bus company this time. (.)"

"Oh?" Lin Zheng nodded, not feeling strange. Capital Bus Company is preparing to modify the 5,000 old-fashioned gasoline and 4,000 "gasoline-lung petroleum gas" buses under the group in the next year. The total cost of the entire project is more than 1.2 billion yuan. It is definitely difficult to get a piece of the pie in such a large project, but this is really his purpose to come to Gu Daguo today: "Please give Chairman Gu's advice."

Gu Daguo is the chairman of the trade union of the Capital Bus Company. Although he is also considered the leadership of the Capital Bus Company, anyone familiar with the rules of the domestic officialdom knows that this position is actually a second-tier position that is waiting for retirement. It is okay for you to come to work, and it is okay if you don’t come to work. Gu Daguo’s situation also meets the standards: Gu Daguo, who is about to be 59, is about to get off his leadership position.

This is also the reason why Lin Zheng was able to take the Gu Daguo line before: he was about to retire, so Gu Daguo certainly had to consider more about his life after retirement. If he could find a way to buy two more houses and two commercial fronts to retire, it would be even better... One more sentence, the information about the capital bus companies that Lin Zheng had before was provided by Chairman Gu Daguo and Chairman Gu.

Gu Daguo is very satisfied with Lin Zheng's attitude. People who are about to retire are particularly concerned about others' attitudes towards themselves. More than a year ago, he was also the deputy general manager of the Capital Bus Company. He clenched his fists and suddenly he went from the deputy general manager of the group to the chairman of the trade union. There were few cars and horses in front of the door. This gap is not something that ordinary people can bear. Lin Zheng, a rich man, actually gave him face like this. Gu Daguo's vanity was greatly satisfied. He sneered: "Why? The project of 1.2 billion yuan is definitely 1.4 billion yuan in the end. Who can not be moved by such a large sum of money?...Well, do you think that with the support of the Development Planning Commission, you can win this project?"

"I haven't thought about this." Lin Zheng never thought that with the support of the Development Planning Commission, he would definitely be able to win the bus modification project of the Capital Bus Company: "With the instructions of Deputy Director Qiu, we have obtained the ticket, but whether we can get this contract in the end depends on the results of the expert jury's product review of our company's products, the members of the jury are also from the Capital Bus Company's own people. Is it not the leaders of your group that passed or not?"

"Haha... I'm not thinking about this. How can I not understand this truth as a boss as Mr. Lin?" Gu Daguo patted his head, looking "I'm very ashamed".

"But what Chairman Gu meant is that even if we can offer our bus company similar conditions to foreign companies in other aspects, the bus company will not choose us?" Lin Zheng asked back.

"You're right."

"Then I don't understand," Lin Zheng humbly asked Gu Daguo and said, "The discount conditions we offer to the bus company are not Cummins, right?"

The so-called "preferential conditions" are just better laws. Gu Daguo, a person familiar with the situation of the Capital Bus Company, informed Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng knew the conditions issued by Cummins Company to the Capital Bus Company:

In order to help Capital Bus Company purchase its own b5.9-195g compressed natural gas engine and obtain the most profitable piece of cake with a total of more than US$150 million, Cummins, the United States, launched a "Partner Win-Win Plan". The core of this "Partner Win-Win Plan" is to win the project through some "reasonable and legal" means, which is actually a flexible way of commercial bribery.

How much is Cummins Group going to pay for this project? According to the information provided by Gu Daguo, Lin Zheng organized people to calculate that it was about 15 million US dollars, and Cummins could take about 80 million to 900 billion US dollars in this large contract worth a total of 150 million US dollars... As a core technology provider, Cummins naturally had to share the biggest piece of cake.

With a business worth tens of millions of dollars, Cummins is willing to spend about $15 million to do a "win-win situation". You can imagine how big the trick is.

But this is still not the main problem. Before this, Lin Zheng had clearly hinted to the Capital Bus Company that Cummins could give to the Capital Bus Company. Lianchuang Technology could still give to it, but the response to the Capital Bus Company was very cold, which made Lin Zheng a little confused: the project issued by the Planning Commission personally approved by the project, Lianchuang Technology also guaranteed the interests of the Capital Bus Company. Why did they still disagree?

Maybe some Cummins' technology is very advanced, but in fact it is nonsense. It is because of not understanding this that Lin Zheng asked Gu Daguo for advice today. When it comes to this incident, Lin Zheng couldn't help but remember the unpleasant meeting between him and Zhan Bing, general manager of the Capital Bus Company yesterday...

………………………………………

As a local public service institution, Capital Bus Company is not very noticeable in the capital's social public service department. However, it has a huge impact on all aspects of social life. Although it is called a "company", it is actually a product that hides behind the scenes and makes a lot of money in a low-key manner. Last year, the Capital Bus Company received a total of more than 3 billion yuan from the municipal finance in the name of various subsidies.

We won’t investigate why privately contracted bus routes can make the contractors earn money, and state-owned routes will lose money. This is not the issue Lin Zheng is going to discuss. His focus is not on this point. Looking at the expression of Zhan Bing, general manager of the Capital Bus Company in front of him, Lin Zheng frowned slightly: This guy... seems to be a bit furious.

On the heart, Lin Zheng could understand why Zhan Bing was so angry: the cooperation between Capital Bus Company and Cummins is very pleasant. Now Lianchuang Technology is rashly intervening, which makes me feel uncomfortable. So after a simple greeting, Lin Zheng showed Zhan Bing the attitude of Lianchuang Technology in this cooperation: "Mr. Zhan, maybe our Lianchuang Technology's price may not have a particularly advantage, but we definitely came with Cummins' greater sincerity."

He believed that as long as Zhan Bing was not stupid, he could understand what he meant: no matter how much benefits Cummins could give you, we could give you more. You don’t have to worry that our Lianchuang Technology would ruin the “good things” of you, the group of people, would be very abiding by the rules of the game.

But to Lin Zheng’s surprise, Zhan Bing expressed his coldness towards his proactive goodwill: “Mr. Lin, our Capital Bus Company will definitely cooperate with the arrangements of the Planning Commission. I am a little busy today, so I won’t treat you much. Please send your company’s products as soon as possible after you go back. We will also conduct testing and evaluation…”

Zhan Bing's words sounded like there was no problem at all. It was not the first day that Lin Zheng had been engaged in government bus companies and was also considered a government functional department. The same words came out of the same person's mouth, which meant a completely different meaning. Zhan Bing's tone was full of impatient and even disgust. Lin Zheng was not stupid, so how could he not hear it?

He suddenly wondered: What's going on? The attitude of the bus company... is very problematic.

As a last resort, he had to come to find Gu Daguo again.

………………………………………

But Gu Daguo did not answer Lin Zheng’s question immediately, but said: “When people get old, they speak more straightforwardly… Lin, do you think that the interests have been compensated, and with the superiors being suppressed, some people dare not to toss again?”

"Of course we don't dare to think so." Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "But if we don't take the upper level route, do you think we have a chance to be shortlisted? Let alone win this contract."

"That's right," Gu Daguo nodded, and he agreed with Lin Zheng's method, but then he shook his head again: "But Lin Zheng, you should just think about this matter simply. I'll give it to you like this. This involves a large project of more than 1 billion yuan, and it may eventually reach 1.5 billion yuan. Do you think such a large piece of fat can be swallowed by these people in the bus company?"

"Hmm? Uh... I'll do it!" Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead hard, and then smiled bitterly on the couple Gu Daguodao: "I think the comrades in the capital should be richer."

"It's right for comrades in the capital to be rich, but they're also very good at spending money." Understanding the words of Lin Zheng, Gu Daguo, he curled his lips disdainfully: "I am a bad old man who is about to retire, and I'm not afraid of offending anyone... Lin, let me give it to you like this, the water here is deep!"

"I can see it. I still imagine it," Lin Zheng smiled bitterly: Otherwise, I can come to you? But...

An idea suddenly emerged from Lin Zheng's heart. He suddenly stopped this topic and turned to Gu Daguo and asked: "Chairman Gu, what are your plans after retirement?"

"Plan?" Gu Daguo smiled and said, "What else can you do? It is to raise flowers and raise birds, and accompany the old woman to go shopping and buy vegetables when she has nothing to do, and go to the park to practice Tai Chi, and so on. If you are really bored, you will find an interest club and play sing with a group of old men... Isn't the retired old men always like this?"

Just a vague Gu Daguo's eyes flashed with hope: He didn't believe that Lin Zheng was still so casual. Is Lin Zheng planning to hire him?

After retirement, it is common for old men to be consultants or even senior leaders by some powerful companies. There are many retired professors who are rehired by the school. However, compared with the entire huge civil servant group, the minority who are qualified to be rehired and hired are still the few. The possibility of Gu Daguo, the former deputy general manager of the capital bus company, is very slim. This is also the reason why he took advantage of his current status as the chairman of the bus company's trade union: there is no such store after passing this village!

But Lin Zheng actually plans to hire him?

"Chairman Gu is an old revolutionary comrade with rich work experience. It is a huge waste of revolutionary work after completely retreating," Lin Zheng did not disappoint Gu Daguo. After a simple compliment, Lin Zheng changed the topic: "I just don't know if Chairman Gu is willing to condescend to serve as the consultant of our Lianchuang Technology in the capital?"

Gu Daguo, who was about to be 60 years old, had seen many storms. When he heard Lin Zheng's words, his hands still couldn't help but tremble, and his breathing became much faster. How could he care about being reserved? He hurriedly asked, "Consultant?"

"Well, consultant," Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively. Since everyone is just a pure interest relationship, Lin Zheng was lazy to circle with Gu Daguo and said frankly: "Chairman Gu has worked in the capital for many years. This is a valuable asset. Our Lianchuang Technology is willing to earn a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, equipped with a special car and a driver, and can also reimburse 100,000 yuan in various expenses every year. Please condescend to serve as Lianchuang Technology's consultant in the capital. We can sign 5+3+2 in the contract period. I wonder if Secretary Gu is idle or not, our Lianchuang Technology is too?"

You don’t need to say anything, and even before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Gu Daguo understood that Lin Zheng was obsessed with his relationship in the capital, but Gu Daguo didn’t mind at all: I think Lin Zheng is using himself? Only when you have the value of use will others use you. If you don’t even have the value of use, that is really sad.

What's more, for Gu Daguo, he has an annual salary of 240,000 yuan, equipped with a special car and a driver, and can also reimburse 100,000 yuan every year, which is equivalent to Lin Zheng offering himself a high salary of nearly 400,000 yuan per year. Moreover, Lianchuang Technology's golden signboard has all the inside and face. Going out will definitely make the eyes of old men and women in the bus company lose their envy: Retirement is not scary, what's scary is the feeling of being deserted in front of the door after retirement, which is enough to make people crazy! Those who are energetic at work and are almost 60 years old still look like they are in their early 50s, but why do they collapse after retirement after retirement? Are you not still not used to life after retirement?

Not to mention the 5+3+2 period, after 10 years, even if you still want to make trouble, you probably don’t have much energy to make trouble.

Fortunately, Gu Daguo has worked in the capital for so many years and is 60 years old. He can control his emotions and nod his excitement: "If Mr. Lin didn't mind my old Gu's age, of course I would be happy..."

Gu Daguo even consciously called himself "Old Gu". Comrade Gu was able to consciously express his attitude and knew what he needed to do if he wanted to get the position of consultant: "Please rest assured Mr. Lin, I will fight for this old bone and help the company get the bus company's transformation contract."
