Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 92: Seven Bidding Building Units_1

Given Principal Ding’s insistence, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin naturally agreed to willingly dedicate their efforts to the school.

They immediately returned to the Administration Building to prepare the relevant documents for the tender office.

After breakfast.

Ding Yue went directly to his office in the Administration Building.

Before long, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also arrived.

"Yue, most of the staff from the tender office have arrived and are in the conference room. Are we going there now?"

"There’s no rush."

Ding Yue sat in his office chair, took out his phone, and made a call to Director Liu Hongxia from the school’s publicity department.

The fact that Lin Zhirou from Mist City Arts and Science University won the championship yesterday didn’t trend on social media because Ding Yue forgot to ask the publicity department to buy trending keywords.

This kind of positive honour can give Mist City Arts and Science University extra points. Isn’t it a pity not to trend?

Fortunately, Mist City Arts and Science University also has another honour, that is, the Hop Cup Best Creative Award.

Compared with Lin Zhirou winning the championship at the National College Student Art Festival Music Competition, this Hop Cup Best Creative Award is even more necessary for promotion.

After all, this represents that the architectural academy and related majors of Mist City Arts and Science University can cultivate excellent students.

If such honours accumulate over time, it will form a superior foundation.

Once a university has a profound foundation in a certain academic field, it will naturally attract more outstanding students to study there.

It might even possibly become a first-class discipline.

Just like the architecture department of Qinghua University is currently the highest institution in the construction industry of Xia Country.

Perhaps in a decade or so.

The highest institution in the construction industry of Xia Country will not be Qinghua University’s architecture department, but Mist City Arts and Science University’s Architecture Academy!

"Your publicity department can’t just announce things on the official blog and be done with it. You should buy trending topics when you can, spread the influence, let more people know, the budget is not an issue, understood?"

Ding Yue provided some guidance to Director Liu Hongxia from the publicity department.

"Alright, I understand, Principal Ding!"

After giving her instructions, Ding Yue hung up the phone, then went to the conference room with Huang Youjie and Xu Bin.

In the meeting room, about six or seven members of the tender office were discussing the tender documents sent by various construction companies.

"Principal Ding, we have received seven bids in total, namely from the Southwest Branch of the National Construction Sixth Bureau, Yunshang Construction Group, Tianfu Construction Group, West Shu Construction Company, Mist City Changjiang Construction Company, Mist City Construction Group, and Mist City Green City Construction Company."

One of the leaders reported the specifics to Ding Yue.

Among the seven units that submitted bid documents, three are construction companies in Mist City, with one from the National Construction Sixth Bureau, two from Shu City, and one from Yunnan Province.

Most of these seven construction units are known and scaling in the southwest region, especially Tianfu Construction Group and the Southwest Branch of National Construction Sixth Bureau.

"Well then, let’s start the meeting and discuss which bidding unit we will choose." Ding Yue sat down and spoke calmly.

So, the staff members of the tender office began to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the seven bids based on their contents.

First, the National Construction Sixth Bureau is a state-owned company, its strength is unquestionable.

However, the National Construction Sixth Bureau, compared to architectural construction, has more solid expertise in the field of bridges.

For the bid from the Southwest Branch of the National Construction Sixth Bureau, Mist City Arts and Science University ultimately chose to pass.

The bid from Yunnan Province’s Yunshang Construction Group was too high, and after discussion between Ding Yue and the team, they chose to pass it as well.

Then there were the three construction companies from Mist City.

Changjiang Construction and Green City Construction are quite famous in Mist City and have undertaken many large-scale construction projects.

However.

Changjiang Construction once had a dispute over a university construction project, so Mist City Arts and Science University also chose to pass on any company with a "history".

Ding Yue looked at the bid from Green City Construction, and the quoted price met the expectations of Mist City Arts and Science University, but one of the staff pointed out that Green City Construction might not possess the technical capability to construct the Bookship library.

Moreover, Green City Construction has been on a decline in recent years.

The third construction company in Mist City is the Mist City Construction Group, which sounds like a very official construction company.

In reality, this company’s scale and strength are far inferior to Changjiang Construction and Green City Construction. It’s not an official construction company.

It could only be considered as a small fish in the pond.

Obviously, Ding Yue would not entrust the construction project of Mist City Arts and Science University to such a company.

All three local construction companies from Mist City were eliminated.

Ding Yue had no choice but to turn his attention to West Shu Construction Company and Tianfu Construction Group.

Both of these companies are from neighboring Shu City.

West Shu Construction Company is a dark horse in the construction industry, with strong capabilities and impressive project quality. Their bid was pretty good too.

"Is this West Shu Construction Company okay in your view?" Ding Yue sought the opinions of other staff in the tender office.

Although Ding Yue is the one to make the final decision.

However, he still needed to seek the opinions of his subordinates. Apart from Huang and Bin who were just making up the numbers, the rest of the transferred employees, especially the staff from the architecture college, had some sort of professional experience in this field.

"West Shu Construction Company indeed has strong capabilities, but after I looked at the bid from Tianfu Construction Group, I feel that Tianfu Construction Group seems to be more suitable."

Chen Ping expressed his opinion.

Tianfu Construction Group is an old and established construction company in the southwest region with sound technical competence, and there have been almost no issues with the quality of their construction projects.

"Yue, I just checked, and West Shu Construction Company estimated the project to take 10 months, meaning it will only be completed by next October."

At this time, the meticulous Xu Bin reminded Ding Yue.

Ding Yue checked the bid from West Shu Construction Company again, and it was indeed as Xu Bin stated.

However, the expected project duration for Mist City Arts and Science University was around eight months at most.

Because if construction starts in January next year, it should be completed by August, and then after the 2021 enrollment, the new library can be put into use.

Not only the library, but the apartment dormitory buildings also need to be assured that they will be successfully completed before September next year.

Of course, if a construction company can guarantee to complete the project ahead of schedule without compromising the quality, that would naturally be the best-case scenario.

"West Shu Construction Company has undertaken too many projects in recent years, leading to a dispersion of their focus, so for them, our project at Mist City Arts and Science University might take a bit more time," Chen Ping analysed the situation of West Shu Construction Company.

"The project definitely needs to be completed before September." Ding Yue shook his head meekly.
