Chapter 451 [Round and Turn] (Part 1)

There was warm applause at the scene, and basically all the officials and reporters of Jiangcheng were applauding. Zhang Yang's answer was so beautiful. A few short sentences have already shown to the public that it was not that He Changan gave up his investment in Jiangcheng's new airport, but that he did not meet the conditions of Jiangcheng.

Another reporter raised his hand to ask a question. There were still a few minutes before the bidding meeting officially began. Du Tianye smiled and nodded, signaling him to get up to ask questions.

The reporter said: "Secretary Du, I would like to ask why Mr. Cha Jinbei gave up his investment in Jiangcheng New Airport? As far as I can tell, the conditions he offered were quite generous, why did he choose to give up after his competitors voluntarily evacuated? As two very influential businessmen in China, does their abandonment have any special meaning?"

Du Tianye asked back: "Only our insiders know the conditions offered by the two investors, how did you know?"

The reporter smiled and said, "We still have many ways."

Du Tianye smiled and looked at both sides: "It seems that someone in our leadership team has leaked the secret!"

Mayor Zuo Yuanchao heard Du Tianye's words obviously mean something, but he still didn't show any expression. Today's stage does not belong to him, and success or failure is all about others.

Du Tianye said: "It is a fact that Mr. Cha Jinbei gave up his investment in Jiangcheng New Airport, but there is one thing he is the same as He Chang'an. Their abandonment is based on being eliminated by us. As we all know, Mr. Cha Jinbei has been engaged in the jewelry industry in the past and is simply a layman for the construction industry. The new airport project is extremely important to Jiangcheng and even the entire northern Pinghai area. We must be very cautious when choosing investment partners."

Zhang Yang reminded Du Tianye that time had come. Du Tianye took the opportunity to end the reception. He realized that the direction of the wind today was a little wrong. Many reporters came prepared and asked questions about them were more sensitive topics. If they continued, they still didn’t know what questions they would ask.

At 9:30, the bidding meeting officially began. The conference hall was crowded with people. It seemed that the popularity was still good. Zhao Yanglin, director of the National People's Congress, explained the bidding rules on behalf of the airport command. Du Tianye and Zuo Ai Korea and other city leaders began to leave. No one could be sure of what would happen during the bidding process. They did not care about the process and valued the most the result.

Chang Lingfeng and Kameda Koji also came to the scene. Zhang Yang discussed with them that today's bidding will be chaired by Zhang Yang. Chang Lingfeng whispered: "The news I just received has twelve companies that have given up bidding."

Zhang Yang was already mentally prepared for this situation. He looked at the venue and smiled and said, "There are still many people left behind. It's okay. Let's start with the terminal bidding. I'm sure Liang Chenglong's side."

Chang Lingfeng said: "You are not rich and do not flow to outsiders. Liang Chenglong is your good friend. As expected, if you have good things, do you think of him first, aren't you afraid that others will say you are pretending to be a public or private person?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't wrongly accuse me. Everything is done through regular procedures. He bids if he has the ability, and he will flash if he has no ability. Didn't Dr. Turtle agree that he meets the conditions?" He glanced at Liang Chenglong in the distance. Liang Chenglong was answering the phone, nodding constantly and hanging up the phone. Only then did he notice Zhang Yang's gaze. Liang Chenglong smiled, but his eyes flashed a little.

Official Zhang paid special attention to the details at this moment. Liang Chenglong's unnatural expression made him feel a little bad. Sure enough, Liang Chenglong got up and walked out, calling Zhang Yang while walking, and whispered: "Sorry, buddy, I plan to withdraw!"

Zhang Yang suppressed his inner anger and whispered: "What's going on?"

Liang Chenglong said: "The Nancy project has been negotiated, and I cannot take into account both aspects."

Zhang Yang said in a disappointment: "Understand!", saying that it was understanding, but he was very disappointed with Liang Chenglong. When he was in the Dongjiang Blue Rubik's Cube, Chen Shaobin and Qiao Pengfei had a conflict. As an old friend, Liang Chenglong chose to stand on the other side. Now that it is time for him to need the help of his friends the most, this guy has repeated the same trick to escape in the last battle.

Chang Lingfeng also realized something was wrong, and he whispered: "Maybe we shouldn't be publicly bidding today."

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He slowly walked towards the rostrum and came to Zhao Yanglin to sit down. The two handed over their eyes. Zhao Yanglin was used to the wind and waves and had a premonition about the situation on the scene. He whispered: "Time is up!"

Zhang Yang said to the microphone: "I announce that the bidding meeting for Jiangcheng New Airport has officially begun!" He paused at this point. Although there were many people at the scene, there were few applauses. Zhang Daguan was a little depressed and paralyzed, and he didn't support me.

Zhang Yang said: "According to our pre-developed bidding, the first thing we need to do is to bid for the new airport terminal. This is also the landmark building of the new airport and represents the image of the new airport. It can be said to be one of the key points of our bidding. Before this, through our comprehensive assessment and comprehensive demonstration, six construction companies that meet the standards were selected from many bidding units, including state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for being able to participate in this bidding. Your arrival is the greatest support for Jiangcheng. Next, I will give you the time to several bidding units."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he found that no one from the remaining five bidding units responded. He turned his attention to Fang Wendong. Liang Chenglong escaped at the last minute. He could only count on this old acquaintance. Fang Wendong had also ambitiously planned to make a comeback. It was his brother Fang Wennan's letter that made Zhang Yang decide to help Shengshi Group. Of course, the reason why Shengshi Group was shortlisted has a certain relationship with their own strength, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the Japanese foreman Koji Kameda.

Fang Wendong of course understood what Zhang Yang meant, and he drooped his head.

Zhang Yang saw that it was broken, and this guy was also timid.

The scene fell into silence, and none of the five bidding units took the initiative to speak. Zhang Yang said: "If you continue to remain silent, it means abstention!"

Still no one spoke, the five people chose to abstain from the unanimous choice.

Zhang Yang is so angry, what the hell is doing? When I was submitting the bid, I was rushing to the other one, for fear that I would fall behind, but now I have started the bidding and I have been hung up. Today, I am so embarrassed.

The venue started to whisper, and everyone was watching Zhang Yang's jokes. Jiangcheng's bidding was so miserable that he encountered such great difficulties at the beginning.

Zhao Yanglin's face was ashen. As an old party member, he still has a strong sense of collective honor. For such an important government project, foreign companies would not support it, and even local companies in Jiangcheng would not support it. When this incident spread, the entire Jiangcheng leadership would be regarded as a laughing stock. Zhao Yanglin looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang could still remember to mock himself, and he smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is shy. Well, let's line up the matters in our terminal building first, give you more time to consider, and we will bid for engineering machinery and equipment first."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, Cao Zhengyang, director and secretary of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory, stood up and said, "We abstained from the right. The new airport project is too big for us. We have the heart but not enough."

When he said this, not only Zhang Yang became popular, but Zhao Yanglin became popular. You, Cao Zhengyang, are the most representative entrepreneur in Jiangcheng. The reason why the restructuring of Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory was successful was not the support given to you by the city. Now the city needs your return, and you are actually playing this with us.

Zhang Daguanren did not hide his contempt for Cao Zhengyang on his face. He smiled and said, "The most important thing for people is to be self-aware. Although Jiangcheng Engineering Machinery Factory is our local enterprise, we cannot favor it. We must be fair and just in the bidding work and treat competitors equally."

Cao Zhengyang was very embarrassed by Zhang Yang's call, but he also understood that his behavior would definitely offend the city today. Cao Zhengyang was not afraid. He was already a retired person. In his opinion, Jiangcheng New Airport Project is a bottomless pit. As Jiangcheng Enterprise, their investment is very likely to go and beat dogs without returning. He has to be responsible for the employees of the company. He cannot let the Jiangcheng Machinery Factory, which has just improved, fall into trouble again. Cao Zhengyang does not think he is wrong.

Zhao Yanglin regretted staying to participate in this bidding meeting. There was no one to bid for the new airport terminal, and the construction machinery also faced the same dilemma. In front of so many reporters and so many cameras, he felt that he and Zhang Yang were like two clowns. He had never faced such an embarrassing situation in his political career. Today, Jiangcheng would become the laughing stock of Pinghai, and he and Zhang Yang would become the laughing stock of everyone.

At this time, Grand Official Zhang's performance was much calmer than Zhao Yanglin. He smiled and said, "The opportunity is always left to those brave people first. Don't talk about reform if you are afraid of your head and tail!" The reporters began to take photos on the scene. They all smelled the storm that was about to come and the wind filled the building. What the reporters hope most was to see unexpected scenes. In Jiangcheng's view, it was a cold situation. In the eyes of the reporters, this incident would be a news point worthy of writing in the history of Pinghai's reform.

Just when everyone thought that the bidding process would continue to fail, a middle-aged man stood up and smiled and said, "Since our strong opponent has abstained, our Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory has become the only bidder for this project. Director Zhao and Deputy Mayor Zhang, does this mean that we successfully won today?"

The scene became restless, and soon a reporter recognized that the middle-aged man was Zhou Dongyu, the director of Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory. In terms of strength and scale of the factory, Lanshan Engineering Machinery Factory undoubtedly surpassed Jiangcheng. As a local enterprise, Cao Zhengyang has advantages that others cannot reach, but he gave up the bid, so Zhou Dongyu naturally won for granted.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Congratulations to Director Zhou, I hope we will work closely together in the construction of the new airport and develop together!"

Many people at the scene applauded. After all, Jiangcheng was still the most people present today, and no one wanted to see their city lose face at this bidding meeting.

Zhang Yang invited Zhou Dongyu to come to the stage and signed the first procurement contract for construction machinery with Zhou Dongyu on the spot. When they shook hands, Zhang Daren was holding Zhou Dongyu in both hands, and no one lacked the icing on the cake. What they really needed was timely help. Only this friendship is worth cherishing. Although Zhou Dongyu met Zhang Yang for a short time, he was full of hope for the future of the new airport. He wanted to seize this opportunity to achieve the second take-off of the company.

The atmosphere at the scene has also been much more relieved by the signing of the first contract. According to the process, the bidding for airport road construction will be followed. Several bidding road construction companies have privately stated that they would abstain from the right. Zhou Dongyu's performance just now did not bring them much confidence.

The difficulties Zhang Yang encountered today were huge. He noticed that fine sweat beads appeared on Zhao Yanglin's forehead. The air conditioning in the venue was very effective. Logically, Comrade Zhao was not so hot, it must be due to pressure. Today, they made a mistake in this public bidding.

Zhao Yanglin rarely bit Zhang Yang's ear and said, "Just announce an emergency, let's end it first, and let's talk about it later!"

Zhang Yang whispered: "It's hard to get rid of a tiger!"

At this time, Zhang Yang heard a familiar voice coming from the corner: "Director Zhang, when is it our turn to bid for the communications project?"

Zhang Yang raised his eyes and a young man wearing a black striped T-shirt looked at him with a smile. It was Gu Mingjian who had just been released from prison.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with indescribable warmth. He smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, before the troops move, food and grass go first. I will get the bidding for the new airport canteen first."

The participants laughed, and everyone knew that the canteen bidding should not be mentioned here at all. Zhang Yang obviously did this on purpose, with the goal of diluting the awkward atmosphere at the bidding scene.
