Wang Ke insisted on using designated high-priced foreign building materials, while Sun Xue and Pei Shaojie suggested using local high-quality alternatives.

Wang Ke said decisively, "Boss Sun, Boss Pei, these suppliers have been cooperating with Lu Group for decades, and their quality and quantity are guaranteed.

When Lu's Group was contracted to build the National Games stadium project, they used their building materials. If there were any quality problems with the supplier, who would be responsible?"

Pei Shaojie expressed a different opinion. "Mr. Wang, I understand your idea, but local high-quality alternatives are not impossible. Our company also has very mature suppliers. Their quality may not be worse than those big brands, but the price is much lower. In terms of logistics and transportation, the cost will also be reduced a lot."

Wang Ke looked disdainful. "Are the building materials in the northern market comparable to those big brands in the south? You have to understand that this is a National Games project, not an ordinary project. The quality requirements will be higher. Without high-quality materials, how can we talk about high-quality engineering quality?"

Sun Xue immediately stood up and put forward her own opinion with a smile:

"Mr. Wang, our company's villa project has also been included in the Quancheng City Image Project, and all building materials are purchased from local high-quality suppliers. Over the years, we have established a good cooperative relationship with local high-quality suppliers, and high-quality alternatives are completely feasible.

Mr. Wang, as you know, the global financial crisis has erupted. If companies want to survive, they must increase revenue and reduce costs everywhere. High-quality alternative solutions are one of the ways to increase revenue and reduce costs. "

Sun Xue tried to convince Wang Ke that if a high-quality alternative could be used, a lot of money could be saved on material costs.

Given her company's current financial situation, this is undoubtedly a wise move.

Wang Ke did not agree and asked:

"Mr. Sun, according to your thinking, can you ignore the quality of the project in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure? You should understand that high-quality project quality is the foundation for the survival and even growth of an enterprise!"

In Wang Ke's opinion, Sun Xue is a technical secondary school student who knows nothing about engineering. The reason why she was able to win the National Games event is because she has the support of Lu Huohua, right?

Without Lu Huohua, what is Sun Xue? Nothing!

He felt that Sun Xue's management ability was not as good as his own, and he even suspected that Sun Xue had used some tricks to make Lu Huohua her godfather.

From the day he came to the company, he never took Sun Xue seriously.

Originally, Lu Huohua had agreed to give her full authority to manage this project, but Sun Xue, an outsider, insisted on interfering. He is still feeling aggrieved about this matter.

Pei Shaojie echoed, "I agree with Mr. Sun's opinion. In the current environment, business development is one thing, but survival is the most important thing. As far as I know, every time there is a financial crisis, many companies will face survival issues. There are too many companies that have collapsed due to a broken capital chain."

Sun Xue quickly added, "Mr. Wang, let's discuss this issue carefully before making a decision."

Wang Ke said decisively, "No need to discuss, it's decided."

Sun Xue and Pei Shaojie looked at each other...

Sun Xue truly felt how strong Wang Ke was.

Wang Ke said with great confidence:

"Mr. Lu sent me here to complete the task with quality and quantity. Previous successful experience tells me that there is nothing wrong with my decision. Once a quality accident occurs due to unqualified materials, everything will be irreparable. I am not willing to take this risk."

Sun Xue tried to continue persuading Wang Ke, but Wang Ke interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth, and choked her with the next sentence.

"Boss Sun, professional matters should be left to professionals. That's it!"

Wang Ke's words hinted very clearly that Sun Xue was just a novice in engineering and had no right to make decisions on professional issues.

Sun Xue didn't expect that the first work meeting after Wang Ke took office would be full of tension.

Everyone in the venue could feel Wang Ke’s strong attitude.

Pei Shaojie was the one who had the most say among all the people. After failing to communicate with Wang Ke, Pei Shaojie chose to remain silent.

The meeting was originally planned to last two hours, but because of the dispute over this issue, it lasted four hours.

The final result was that they agreed to Wang Ke's plan to use high-quality but expensive raw materials.

After the meeting, Wang Ke still felt a sense of accomplishment.

In front of so many managers in the company, he established his prestige with his strong style.

He knew very well that the only person in the company who could compete with him was Pei Shaojie, but on the stadium project, he had more experience and practical experience than Pei Shaojie and had more say.

Moreover, after interacting with Pei Shaojie for a period of time, he found that Pei Shaojie had a relatively gentle personality. As the chief engineer of the project, he must firmly grasp the initiative.

After the meeting, Pei Shaojie complained to Sun Xue:

"Mr. Wang is a bit too strong. In my opinion, the company's current financial situation, it is not a bad idea to optimize the raw materials. At least, it can reduce the project cost."

Sun Xue's heart is as clear as a mirror. During the two years that she has been with Pei Shaojie, Pei Shaojie has always stood on the same front with her, shared the joys and sorrows with the company, and always considered the long-term development of the company.

"Let's follow Mr. Wang's plan. He has experience in this project. The cost is a bit higher, but the quality is definitely superior."

Sun Xue didn't want to say too much about Wang Ke in front of Pei Shaojie. She still hoped that the two of them could live in harmony.

After all, they are the authorities on this project, and whether the project can be completed on schedule and with high quality depends entirely on their cooperation.

Things were far from as simple as Sun Xue thought.

Time quickly came to Monday.

As scheduled, Sun Xue attended the special meeting on National Games events chaired by Vice Mayor Wang.

Those attending the meeting were the heads of all the units that won the bid.

The theme of the meeting was simple, it was just a mobilization meeting.

Vice Mayor Wang first smiled and congratulated all the successful bidders, then got to the point in a serious tone:

“As everyone knows, the global financial crisis is coming with all its force, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for all the entrepreneurs present here.

How to complete all projects with quality and quantity under such unfavorable environment, everyone present here must shoulder greater responsibility. We must not be afraid of difficulties, obstacles, or excuses, and give the public a satisfactory answer. "

The heads of the companies that undertook the National Games projects never expected that winning these projects, which was something to be proud of, would be met with the global financial crisis, and everyone felt unprecedented pressure.

What most people are worried about is naturally the funding issue.

Vice Mayor Wang continued:

"I reiterate that the National Games project is a city image project and will not be allowed to be postponed. All contractors must do their best. The government will give priority support in terms of funds, but the support will be limited!"

Limited support?

Hearing this, Sun Xue's heart suddenly tightened.
