Actually, this scene is no different from winning the lottery.
However, for those who rejoice, there are naturally those who are worried.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue imdiately saw the section they bid on.
The winning bidder wasn’t anyone else but the Qihe Group.
Su Mo and the others were stunned.
At this ti, Sun Li was a bit flustered. She said to Qian Chengxue, "Sister Xue, we didn’t win the bid again. What should we do now? If we continue to bid on the third section, there’s a high chance we won’t win either."
"Calm down, let think."
Qian Chengxue tried her best to keep calm.
"There’s definitely sothing wrong here. Our price and quality are absolutely the best in the sa category. We’ve studied the Qihe Group’s goods; there’s no way they surpass ours."
Tang Yao also couldn’t believe it.
"Maybe, but the Qihe Group is a long-established group, they must have so skills."
Qian Chengxue said calmly.
"Su Mo, do you have any ideas?"
Sun Li turned to ask Su Mo.
Su Mo rubbed his head and said, "Don’t rush, let think."
"Yo, why the long face? Oh, I forgot, soone was so confident about winning the bid earlier and ended up losing twice, haha!"
Wu Xiaoli covered her mouth lightly, mocking triumphantly.
Seeing the arrogant Wu Xiaoli, Su Mo squinted his eyes.
Even though he already knew this woman was not a pure-hearted person, her tactics must be remarkable.
But he still underestimated her; he didn’t expect her to win two sections in one go.
"President Wu, the first two sections don’t an much. The last section is the main event; I hope you can laugh at the end."
Qian Chengxue said coldly.
"Fine, we’ll see. We’re going to bid now."
Wu Xiaoli left in high spirits.
After they left, Sun Li and Tang Yao hurriedly asked Qian Chengxue, "Sister Xue, do you have any counterasures?"
Qian Chengxue shook her head and replied, "No."
"Ah, then aren’t we going to lose?"
Sun Li said miserably.
"Don’t rush; let analyze the situation. First, under-the-table dealings are definitely impossible, as the Federation is investigating very strictly now. That leaves only one possibility: they must have won against us in the comprehensive evaluation score. So, we need to modify the third bid docunt to enhance our advantage."
Qian Chengxue said calmly.
Tang Yao hesitated and said, "But it feels like there’s not much room for modification unless we forego profits and reduce the price to the lowest. However, doing so would easily trigger the low-bid warning line, and then it would be worse."
The reason the Federation openly procures is more to promote the robust developnt of the entire economic system.
Therefore, they leave a high profit margin for bidding companies and strictly prohibit malicious competition and low-bid tendering.
If you want to lower the product price, you must present all procurent material prices and production costs; it’s not sothing you can reduce just because you want to.
Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and said, "Do our best; if we don’t succeed, so be it. Let’s recalculate and see where we can make changes."
"Okay."
Sun Li and Tang Yao nodded hurriedly.
So they walked to the rest area, crouched by the chairs, and started recalculating.
Su Mo watched them silently as they worked, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
He sowhat suspected that the Qihe Company had planted a spy inside Chenxi Company to obtain Qian Chengxue’s bid data.
Hence, they could bid specifically against them; if that were the case, it would indeed be troubleso.
Su Mo also wanted to help, but he was montarily at a loss. Then he seed to think of sothing, so he said, "Don’t rush, take your ti to modify. I’m going to the bathroom."
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue nodded.
Su Mo then headed towards the restroom.
He thought carefully about how to break this situation.
Soon, an idea flashed in his mind: find a way to see Qihe Group’s previous bidding data, and everything would beco clear.
With that in mind, Su Mo turned and walked towards the elevator.
To get Qihe Group’s bidding data, he had to go to the audit departnt to check it.
If Su Mo rembered correctly, the audit departnt was on the top floor of this building.
The Federation Building has a total of 32 floors; access to floors above the 20th requires permissions and is not open to ordinary people.
Soon, Su Mo found an elevator that no one was using. He took out his badge and swiped it on the scanner.
"Permission recognized."
Su Mo selected the 32nd floor.
In no ti, Su Mo successfully reached the 32nd floor and walked straight out of the elevator.
The soldiers guarding the elevator entrance didn’t stop him; after all, anyone who could co up here basically had permission.
The entire work hall on the 32nd floor was exceptionally busy.
Everywhere were staff mbers working hectically, busy auditing the third round of bidding docunts.
For a mont, no one noticed Su Mo.
Su Mo looked around, and soon found the archive room; he casually walked towards it.
Once he reached the archive room, he took out his badge and scanned the door.
Click!
The archive room door opened smoothly.
Su Mo quickly slipped in and closed the door again.
Be it good luck or sothing else, the archive room was empty except for mountains of bidding docunts.
Su Mo imdiately stepped forward and quickly searched through the docunts.
It wasn’t long before he actually found the batch of military protective clothing bid docunts from yesterday.
He frantically searched and soon found the Qihe Group’s bid docunts.
Su Mo quickly opened them and looked through them.
The more he looked, the more Su Mo felt sothing was amiss. Although the Qihe Group’s products t quality standards, their paraters were indeed inferior to those produced by Qian Chengxue, and the price was even two tis higher.
Just then, the archive room door was pushed open, and a relatively young staff mber walked in holding a docunt.
He saw Su Mo looking through the bid docunts and was stunned, then quickly recovers and questioned.
"Who are you, how did you get in here?"
"Who am I is none of your business."
Su Mo replied brazenly, not because he didn’t want to cooperate, but because he couldn’t.
"Guard! There’s an intruder!"
The young man imdiately shouted.
The soldiers outside heard and rushed in, while others busy at work stopped their tasks and gathered around upon hearing the commotion.
In an instant, Su Mo was surrounded.
Two soldiers raised their beam guns at Su Mo.
"Don’t move! Otherwise, we’ll show no rcy."
"I’m not moving."
Su Mo touched his forehead, feeling even more distressed.
"Speak up! Who are you, and what are you doing here? How did you get up here?"
The young staff mber questioned harshly.
"I ca up openly."
Su Mo replied impatiently.
"Where did you get the permission?"
"It’s my business if I have permission; it’s none of your concern."
