Chapter 1019 Recruiting from the inland
Li Group Building, in terms of location alone, is definitely located in the core business district of Hong Kong.
There are powerful banking companies on both sides, and there are also office buildings nearby. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe the property prices as "an inch of land costs a lot".
Before Li Bancheng collapsed, many urban white-collar workers dreamed of working in the Li Group. Employees entering and leaving the Li Group building were full of energy and walked with wind.
However, the current Li Group Building has lost its former splendor. Jiang Hua has been standing here for a while and has not seen many people coming in and out of the building. Even if someone comes out occasionally, he is downcast and listless.
"The sun is setting over the mountains."
Xu Lan sighed with emotion.
Her husband is engaged in the real estate industry, so she has the deepest feelings about the past glory of the Li Group. In addition to gloating about the misfortune, she also feels a bit of sadness.
At this time, a white Xiali drove over from a distance and parked on the side of the road. A young woman dressed in business attire and secretary trotted over in high heels.
"Mr. Xu, there is an emergency. Mr. Tang asked me to inform you."
The female secretary said respectfully and politely.
"Tell me, Mr. Jiang is not an outsider. What happened?"
Xu Lan's expression remained calm.
"Mr. Tang has communicated with several major construction companies in Xiangjiang and wants to resume construction of several unfinished properties of the Li Group, but for some reason, no one is willing to take on this project."
The female secretary reported carefully.
Immediately resuming construction of the unfinished buildings of the Lee Group is a condition set by the Hong Kong government. If it wants to swallow up the Lee Group, this is considered a hard requirement.
After reaching an intention to cooperate with Jiang Hua, Xu Lan called her husband and asked him to take action first.
But Lao Tang made a lot of phone calls in the office, but couldn't find a construction company willing to step forward and take over the project.
"Why didn't you answer? Are you worried about our credibility?"
Jiang Hua couldn't understand something.
He just couldn't understand. These days, there are still construction companies that refuse to take on profitable projects. Could it be that they don't believe in the strength of Jianghua and Tang Group?
"There is indeed something fishy about this matter. It is possible that a third party is causing trouble inside. I will ask Lao Tang to find out more."
Xu Lan frowned, thoughtfully.
After she finished speaking, she walked aside and made a phone call. The Tang Group was considered a local snake in Xiangjiang. If they couldn't even handle this little thing, it would be really embarrassing in front of Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua put his hands in his pockets and stood in front of the building in boredom, chatting with the female secretary.
"Your Tang Group is also a big company, but you don't have your own construction company?"
he asked lazily.
"We have a construction team of more than 200 people, but because we have some projects under construction, these people have been sent out, and we want to resume work on the Li Group's properties. This manpower is far from enough.
of."
The female secretary knew Jiang Hua's identity and did not dare to neglect him in front of him, so she explained patiently.
"If all the Li Group's properties are allowed to resume work, how many people will be needed?"
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and asked.
He is not from Xiangjiang, and he is not very familiar with several properties under construction by the Li Group, but he believes that the Tang Group should be very familiar with them.
"A conservative estimate is that at least 700 people are needed, because two of the projects are large-scale projects."
Although the female secretary is beautiful, she is not a flower vase.
While the two were chatting, Xu Lan kept talking on the phone next to him. He seemed a little excited and his voice became louder and louder.
"They are just raising prices, but you didn't ask them, if they do this, do they still want to cooperate with our Tang Group in the future?"
Xu Lan was very angry.
Lao Tang was on the phone just now and told her that there was a construction company that was willing to take on the project, but the price was very high and it also required half of the project payment to be paid in advance. This was completely ridiculous. There was no precedent in the industry for paying half of the project price in advance.
"I found out clearly that it was the Guo family who was behind the scenes. Those construction companies were more optimistic about the Guo family, so they acted like they were watching a show and were asking for prices."
Lao Tang was on the phone, explaining with a wry smile.
Although Mrs. Guo is in a state of distress right now, after all, the Guo Group is a mature company and can still operate normally even if she is not around.
Facing the big piece of fat left by Li Bancheng, it would be weird if the Guo Group did not take any action.
"What if we put our project on hold and allocate some of our manpower to resume work on the Lee Group's properties?"
Xu Lan made a suggestion.
"My dear wife, we only have a few people on hand. Even if we mobilize all of them, it won't be enough. Moreover, agreements have been signed for those projects. How can we casually delay the construction progress?"
Lao Tang smiled bitterly and rejected his wife's whimsical idea.
"Then what should I do? In front of Xiao Jiang, I praised Haikou and said that our Tang Group would handle the matter of resuming work."
Xu Lan was a little angry.
"At this point, we can only discuss it with Xiao Jiang and see if the Bao family can do something about it."
Lao Tang sighed.
"Thankfully you are still in the real estate business. It's really embarrassing this time."
Xu Lan complained to her husband and hung up the phone.
When she was on the phone just now, Jiang Hua had been standing quietly beside her. After she hung up the phone, he asked in a gentle tone: "Aunt Xu, what difficulties did you encounter?"
"Those construction companies were bribed by the Guo family and raised their prices. I was so angry."
Xu Lan said angrily.
"This is normal. After all, we and the Guo family are competitors."
Jiang Hua did not show his impatience because things were not going well.
"Xiao Jiang, the problem now is that if we want to resume work on the building, we need a lot of manpower. Do you think we can find the Bao family?"
Xu Lan said with a sigh.
She had always regarded herself as an elder in front of Jiang Hua, but she didn't expect that at this critical moment, the chain would fall off, which made her feel very unhappy.
"No need to bother, I will transfer workers directly from the mainland."
Jiang Hua said with a slight smile.
When he was chatting with his female secretary just now, he inquired about the wages of construction workers here in Xiangjiang. Not surprisingly, they were much higher than those of construction workers in the mainland.
In this case, he plans to recruit people from Shenzhen City, which can save a lot of costs.
"However, construction workers alone are not enough. From engineers to technicians, we are in short supply."
Xu Lan felt that Jiang Hua thought too simply.
"I own a construction company, and some of the middle and high-level managers can be transferred here."
Jianghua's tourism project in Qiongzhou has been partially completed, and some manpower has been transferred there, so there is no pressure.
"This, this is really another village where everything is bright and clear."
Xu Lan was so excited that she was a little incoherent.
She didn't expect that the problem in front of her would be solved so easily by Jiang Hua, which made her happy but also made her feel even more embarrassed.
"Aunt Xu, come on, let's give the Guo family a surprise."
Jiang Hua said with a smile.
