I Really Didn't Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Chapter 26-Wei Dongpo’s Predicament

Chen Ling opened the door. Wei Dongpo came in and saw why not send it.

“Why are you here…”

Why don’t you laugh and say, “I asked Mr. Chen to chat. If you have something, I will leave first.” After that, he turned to Chen Ling and said, “Mr. Chen, just say that. I will report to you after I figure out the matter.”

Chen Ling nodded.

Waiting for a long time, Wei Dongpo sat down on the chair, took out a cigarette, and was about to light it. Chen Ling said, “You know, I don’t smoke.”

Wei Dongpo let out a cry, put the cigarette away, and said, “Mr. Chen, I have something to do. I must ask you for help.”

Chen Ling smiled and said, “What can I do to help? Just talk about things at work.” Because after listening to the analysis of why not, Chen Ling’s words have a little bit of attention.

Wei Dongpo crossed his fingers with both hands, straightened his back, and said, “The cement on the construction site can’t keep up. Have you heard of it?”

Chen Ling shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard anyone say it before. Why, do you care about bulk purchases, don’t the finances give you money to buy cement?”

Wei Dongpo hurriedly said: “No, it has nothing to do with finances. Cement can’t be bought anymore and there is insufficient supply in the market.”

“I heard that some imported cement came from our country.”

Wei Dongpo was a little anxious. He couldn’t help showing his true shape. He raised his voice and said, “This is a broken country, and there is nothing. The port is too small, and ships importing cement line up outside at sea, waiting to get to the shore, they will be grabbed as soon as they get to the shore. It’s gone. Local cement, not to mention, trucks at the entrance of the cement factory lined up for several kilometers to wait for loading.”

“Then we should save a little earlier, so as not to be so passive,” Chen Ling said.

Wei Dongpo complained: “Oh, Mr. Chen, you don’t know, the cement needs to be experimented first, and I can buy a lot of cement after the concrete ratio is set. When I first came, I went to see the cement and prepared it in advance. But the results of the experiment only came out last two weeks, and I was so anxious to death.”

“Didn’t I think a few truckloads of cement came on the construction site?” Chen Ling asked. It’s not that Chen Ling went around on purpose to make things difficult for Wei Dongpo. Since Chen Ling became the deputy manager in charge of outreach, many things on the construction site have not been overwhelming, and the main reason is that he does not provide some information.

Wei Dongpo sighed, and said, “You can only get a truckload of cement in a team for two days. The sporadic ones are simply not enough.”

“Does Mr. Liang know? What did he say?”

Wei Dongpo shook his head and said, “I reported to him long ago, and he couldn’t help it, so he asked me to find cement and not to stop work.”

The old Liangguan project has experience, and things outside the project are also a smear, not even as good as Wei Dongpo. This is a common problem of domestic project managers.

When doing projects in China, the material suppliers circle around the engineering unit, and the engineering unit will only worry about too many choices and never worry about lack of material supply.

Chen Ling knows that Algeria’s supply of building materials is in short supply. Constantine’s project is a government project, and there are also difficulties in material procurement. The owner has been asked to coordinate for the supply of materials many times. However, the province of Constantine has few projects after all, and all kinds of materials can keep up with it through hard work.

Algiers is the capital. Housing construction, roads and bridges, municipal administration, and various projects are particularly numerous, so the supply can’t keep up.

Chen Ling asked Wei Dongpo: “What do you want me to do? What do you think I can do?”

After all, when it comes to the progress of the project, Chen Ling still focuses on the overall situation and decides to help Wei Dongpo, but he doesn’t know how to help him.

Wei Dongpo heard Chen Ling’s tone, and his face showed a flattering smile: “Mr. Chen, two aspects. The first one is to trouble you to find the owner and ask them to help coordinate. They are local snakes, which are more positive than ours. More is better, right?”

Chen Ling said: “You can find the owner. I don’t know if they can help me. I will try my best. What else?”

Seeing Chen Ling agreed to help, Wei Dongpo seemed to feel a lot less pressure, and said more relaxed: “I heard Mr. Liang said that you have a good relationship with the top management. Can you find a relationship with the top management?”

“You believe what Mr. Liang said? I know some people, but they don’t necessarily remember who I am.” Of course, Chen Ling will not go to the so-called high-level person, that is, Ahmed. The high-ranking officials had already been trapped by them, and couldn’t sink deeper.

Wei Dongpo smiled and said: “Liang is always the leader, of course I believe what he said. You can help, this construction site is really not easy to stop. Once the work is stopped, the progress can not be kept up, the equipment is idle, and the workers have no work, it will cause trouble. …”

Chen Ling raised his hand and interrupted Wei Dongpo: “I know that work can’t be stopped. I’m not unhelpful. Everyone is working on a project and should work together.”

Chen Ling stood up, turned on his mobile phone, and said, “I’ll make an appointment. I’ll go to the owner tomorrow and ask them for help. Let’s see what they say, and then we’ll see. In addition, I will also look for other people, anyway. I can do everything I can, and try to buy the cement back.”

As soon as the phone was turned on, it buzzed and vibrated continuously. Chen Ling frowned, which was really annoying.

Wei Dongpo looked at Chen Ling and seemed to be in a bad mood and did not continue to speak.

Chen Ling wanted to call Nabil, but thought that it was already 10 o’clock in the evening, which was not appropriate, so he composed a text message and sent him.

Then, Chen Ling said to Wei Dongpo: “I directly contacted the boss of the owner and asked him to support. I will go tomorrow…”

Before the words were finished, the phone vibrated, and it was Nabil calling.

Nabil is very concerned about the progress of the project, so he also attaches great importance to such an important material as cement. He asked in detail the quantity, time, model and origin of the cement needed.

Then Nabil said: “Mr. Chen, you should act early on this matter. The cement market in Algiers has always been in short supply. You should be aware of such a large engineering company. This situation makes it difficult to rest assured. We all paid on time…”

If there is a mistake first, and there is a need to ask others, Chen Ling had no choice but to have a correct attitude, promise to improve immediately, make plans for the supply of important materials, make preparations for storage, and so on.

Finally, Nabil asked Chen Ling to go to the office tomorrow.

Chen Ling put down his mobile phone, with a gloomy face, and said to Wei Dongslope: “Manager Wei, the owner’s speech is very loud, have you heard some? He was very angry and questioned our project management level.”

Wei Dongpo only cared about cement, and asked, “What did he say, can I get cement?”

“He didn’t say yes or no, and asked me to come to his office tomorrow. The owner has always been very satisfied with us, because you are a mess, he is angry and questioning the level of your material manager! He hopes this will be the last time “Chen Ling said.

Wei Dongpo was dumbfounded and smiled: “We can’t be blamed for this, he doesn’t have any on the market…”

Chen Ling interrupted him: “Don’t blame us, are you going to blame the owner?”

Wei Dongpo was speechless. Seeing that Chen Ling had already started to act, he no longer pressed him, thanked him and left.

Although Nabil was unhappy, he was not as serious as Chen Ling said, and he was very sure of getting cement from his own tone.

Chen Ling was taking the opportunity to let Wei Dongpo know that if Wei Dongpo didn’t do a good job, Lao Liang might not treat him well, but people outside the company would interfere.

However, Wei Dongpo is not worried about losing his job. The owners here don’t let them do it themselves, so they can do the same for another project.

What Wei Dongpo feared most was that his brother-in-law would scold him. My brother-in-law wouldn’t let myself lose his job, but the scolding was very unpleasant, and Wei Dongpo couldn’t bear it; not only the brother-in-law scolded, but also my sister would scold if he knew it.

Wei Dongpo didn’t care about the rebate that Chen Ling was exposed to. Is that money also called a rebate? It was just lost to a bunch of soil buns with well-developed limbs in the big yard.

When the recent material purchases go smoothly, Wei Dongpo will definitely go to the big yard again to find a place.

The next day, Chen Ling rushed to Nabil’s office early according to the agreed time, but was released!
