Chapter 162 A wonderful trap

Jin Ziming did not want his men to suffer, so he deliberately made some "intimate" actions towards Gu Li, making Jin Yun mistakenly think that they had a close relationship.

Gu Li understood and did not misunderstand his good intentions.

As for Xie Yutong, it was obvious that he had received instructions from Wen Dingshui before he came.

All I could see was her charming eyes, her water-snake-like waist twisting gracefully, her bright and innocent smile, her charming dimples, and her soft words.

She was so charming that Jin Yun quickly fell in love with her.

The meal lasted for a long time, and a lot of wine was drunk. Everyone was very happy when the party ended.

Seeing Wen Dingshui and Jin Yun chatting affectionately, Jin Ziming suddenly felt relaxed. He took the lead to leave and led Gu Li away happily.

Next came the step-by-step project operation. Gu Li was very professional and led three people to handle the details very well.

Jin Ziming asked:

"What is the current relationship between Wen Dingshui and Taoist Master Jinyun?"

Gu Li smiled sweetly and said:

"They are in the honeymoon period, so don't worry."

One afternoon, Gu Li and one of her subordinates were invited to attend a project analysis meeting hosted by Wendingshui. The participants were all core personnel of the Xueding Chamber of Commerce.

“What I am most worried about is the Yulong Chamber of Commerce supported by Haichuan Gate.

If we want to ensure success, we must find a way to knock them down. Let's talk about it. What are your ideas?"

"Boss, Yulong is very powerful. They have fought fiercely with us over the years. They have won more than they lost, and they really haven't exposed any obvious flaws."

Director Wei from the Xueding Chamber of Commerce in charge of this project said.

"The obvious shortcomings that others have covered up long ago will be seen by you at a glance?

Luo Rui, last time I asked you to analyze Yulong's projects and contracts, did you find anything?"

"Boss, I checked it carefully and found only one small problem."

"Oh, tell me." Wen Dingshui became interested.

“When Yulong was founded, there was not much Lingshi capital registered in the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Later, it was acquired by the larger Huitao Chamber of Commerce and did not go to the alliance to increase its registered capital.

For major projects, when the capital amount does not meet the bidding requirements, they will use the qualifications of Huitao Chamber of Commerce to answer the bid."

"What, Yulong still has this 'good' habit, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The profiteer was very excited.

"Boss, I only discovered it recently." Luo Rui said nonchalantly.

Wen Dingshui organized his thoughts, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said:

"Come, let's discuss it and set up a trap for Yulong's habit.

I can influence the terms in the tender through my connections in the Xiaoyao Sect.

Can we make a request for the registered capital of the agent?

For example, the threshold is designed to be higher than the registered capital of Yulong, but lower than the registered capital of Huitao Chamber of Commerce.

The score corresponding to this item should be set very high, euphemistically speaking, to ensure that powerful chambers of commerce will undertake the project."

"Boss, Gao! I understand what you mean. Are you planning to lay a mine here?"

How can Yulong give up when he sees so many points? He will definitely use Huitao's qualifications to answer."

Once the mind is opened, "genius" ideas will flow like a fountain.

“You can make the bidding document specifications very thick and have many requirements.

Put the requirements for registered capital first, and add another one at the end of the bidding document, the content of which should be slightly related to the agent's qualifications.

The description related to qualifications is hidden in a lot of nonsense that is annoying to read, and the threshold corresponding to this one is very low.

It must be easily accessible to all agents to ensure that Yulong will answer "satisfied" as a matter of course.

But we buried the lead to the mine explosion right here.

You can give a superfluous ‘friendly’ reminder in an inconspicuous place nearby, and you are not allowed to use the qualifications of other chambers of commerce to respond to bids.”

"Haha, the person who wrote the tender document for Yulong must be thinking, do you need to use the qualifications of other chambers of commerce?"

"Care should be taken with the wording of this paragraph to make the people in Yulong think that other requirements for chamber of commerce qualifications are not allowed. It is only for this one item and is not valid for the entire tender document.

But if during the bid evaluation, someone takes this point to challenge Yulong, it would be reasonable."

"Well, the score for this item should be set very low so that people from Yulong won't pay attention at all."

"Gu Li, it is said that the supervisors and product personnel responsible for this project at Haichuanmen are all from your old employer.

Tell me, when that supervisor participated in Yulong's review meeting and faced with such a thick tender document, would he pay attention to these details?"

“For a bid response for such a large project, someone from Yulong should write the first draft, and then have it checked and revised by Haichuanmen’s product staff.

That supervisor’s time is valuable, and product people will typically filter out unimportant terms before holding a review meeting.

Only those clauses with high scores or high risks will be reported or applied for decision-making.

If the score for this item is extremely low, it will probably be ignored.

I guess it was just left to the people at Yulong to respond on their own, and the product staff at Haichuanmen would only glance at it and not pay any attention."

“Would Yulong’s supervisor change the question to ‘unsatisfied’ during the review?”

"With such a high score, the other party will probably not give up. Moreover, they have never had any problems with Huitao's qualifications before."

“This design is already perfect.

If Yulong doesn't take the bait, they will lose points in this major category, and our total points may rank first.

If it answers 'satisfied', it will jump into the hole we dug for it.

I bet there is more than a 90% chance that Yulong will continue to use Huitao’s qualifications.”

The project analysis meeting concluded successfully, and soon each agent submitted their bids.

The first and second rounds of bid evaluation were very normal, and Yulong and Xueding fought evenly.

The agents supported by Fire Dragon Palace, Zhelin Mountain from the Virtue Realm, Qingyumen and Zhuqi Hall ranked third to sixth respectively.

Wen Dingshui had already thought about it, and he wanted to break the news at the last moment, not giving Yulong time to make a comeback and counterattack.

When the last round of final evaluation came, several elders of Xiaoyao Sect were a little distressed.

"Every company's products are usable, and the business is basically in line with expectations. Let's talk about it, should we give it to one company, or let Yulong and Xueding get a share each?" asked the second elder.

"Split it, both of them are good."

"Then who will give the host and the large share?"

"To be on the safe side, it's best to focus on Yulong. After all, Haichuan Gate's equipment has been tested in large-scale applications."

"Judging from the usage conditions in various places, the stability of Shuiyangge's products is also trustworthy."

At this moment, a deacon participating in the bid evaluation raised a question:

"Elders, there is a clause in the second half of the tender document.

It was clearly stipulated that the qualifications of other chambers of commerce should not be used to respond to bids. Yulong’s answer was ‘satisfied’.

But in the previous article about registered capital, they used the qualifications of the higher-level chamber of commerce.

I vaguely remember that Yulong’s own registered capital does not seem to meet the requirements of the tender document.”

As soon as these words came out, all the elders were in an uproar.

"That's not bad. Didn't Yulong do this intentionally to deceive?"

Jin Yun immediately asked someone to take out the latest "Member Registration" printed by the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce Alliance, inspected it on the spot, and found that it was indeed not up to standard.

The second elder immediately arranged for a mature and prudent elder to go out and confront Yulong's boss.

The remaining people carefully studied the registered capital and the subsequent qualification-related clauses to avoid mistaking Yulong.

But in the end, everyone reached an agreement that there was no ambiguity in the bidding document specifications and that the qualifications of other chambers of commerce could not be used to bid.

After a while, the person who went out to communicate came back and said:

"The second elder, Yulong said that when they encountered insufficient registered capital in the past, they always used the qualifications of the higher-level chamber of commerce to respond to bids.

As for the latter clause, they misunderstood it, thinking that ‘no qualifications shall be borrowed’ only applies to this clause itself.”

"Isn't this quibbling? If I can't do it, is it because we didn't write the mark clearly?"

“Yu Long actually dares to do this, then it’s not as simple as scrapping the bid.

In the next ten years, you will not be allowed to participate in the bidding projects of Xiaoyao Sect and its subordinate sects." The second elder said in a deep voice.

Taoist priest Jin Yun had a kind heart, sighed and said:

"Great Elder, I suggest you disqualify Yulong from bidding this time, as a lesson to him.
