234: Successfully signed the overhaul contract

Niu De then added, "Of course, if you want to speed things up, we can ask the maintenance personnel to work overtime, but you will have to bear the cost of double or triple wages."

Kayaski and Ivanov exchanged glances. Of course, they hoped for it to be completed as quickly as possible and were willing to bear the overtime costs. The priority was for the great bear to be repaired as soon as possible and return to the seabed.

"We hope it can be repaired sooner, so we are willing to pay the overtime costs. In this case, do we need to re-do the budget?" Kayaski asked.

"No, we have prepared two budgets. One is for working overtime to rush the timeline, and the other is for proceeding step by step," Liu Xiaolin said, taking out another budget document. "The difference between the two is the labor cost. The labor cost for working overtime will be about 1.5 billion dragon currency more. Of course, the completion time will also be advanced by about 180 days."

Kayaski was stunned, not expecting that Liu Xiaolin and his team had made two sets of preparations.

He took the new budget document and looked at it. Indeed, the other items remained unchanged, with only the labor cost increasing by 1.5 billion. The total budget increased from 26.8 billion to 28.3 billion dragon currency. www.x33xs.com

"Our requirement is to prepay 40% of the maintenance fee now, which is 11.32 billion yuan. As you can see, we have just recruited over 2,000 technical workers and workshop management personnel all at once. These people need to be paid wages and require various labor protection and welfare benefits. It is impossible for us to support so many workers with our current cash flow," Niu De continued.

"I will immediately communicate with the Great Bear Country military department and inform you as soon as I receive a reply." Kayaski had actually already approved this budget in his mind, because the budget given by the Great Bear Country based on the information he sent was 30 billion dragon currency. From this perspective, it even saved 1.7 billion.

Kayaski and Ivanov walked aside, and the two began to report the situation to their superiors in the Great Bear Country language. After half an hour of chattering, they returned to the negotiating table.

"The military high command said they need to hold a meeting to discuss it and will give us a response before the end of the workday," Kayaski said.

"No problem. Anyway, all our personnel are currently on standby. As long as you agree to this quotation, we will start the major repair tomorrow." Liu Xiaolin was not in a hurry; he knew that the Great Bear Country was the one who was anxious.

As expected, just an hour later, Kayaski received notification from the Great Bear Country military, agreeing to the quotation for the major repair of the great bear submarine and also agreeing to prepay 40% of the advance payment. However, there was one condition: the major repair must be completed within one and a half years, otherwise, a penalty of 1 million dragon currency would be imposed for each day of delay.

Liu Xiaolin accepted this condition because he had discussed it with Niu De. Barring any accidents, the work could be completed in one year and five months. The extra 30 days in the budget were set aside for unforeseen circumstances.

Soon, the contract was drafted, and both parties signed it, making the contract effective.

"It's almost time to get off work today. Our major repair work will start tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin said happily, holding the contract. "To celebrate the successful signing of the contract, I'd like to invite you two out for hot pot tonight."

Kayaski and Ivanov were already happy eating in the cafeteria every day here. Upon hearing about eating hot pot, they also expressed great interest: "General Manager Liu has to treat us, and Engineer Niu will accompany us."

"No problem, I'll treat you two, and Engineer Niu will accompany us," Liu Xiaolin said readily.

Liu Xiaolin drove his black loves gift flying car, taking the three people specifically to the Hua Ao Hot Pot Restaurant for hot pot. The Boss's Wife still recognized Liu Xiaolin and enthusiastically welcomed them. They ordered a lot of lamb slices, beef slices, fish balls, shrimp paste, and vegetables. Liu Xiaolin didn't drink because he was driving, while the other three drank white wine freely. They drank to their heart's content!

"Drink a little less; we have important work to do tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin reminded them with a smile.

"It won't delay the important work, don't worry," the steady and mature Niu De also started to get lively, showing how happy he was about the contract being signed today.

When Liu Xiaolin escorted the few people who were feeling a bit tipsy into their respective dormitories, he was really worried that these three wouldn't be able to get up the next day.

But the facts proved that his worry was unnecessary.

The next day, when he walked into the submarine repair workshop, he saw that Niu De, Kayaski, and Ivanov were already full of energy, walking back and forth in the bustling repair workshop, checking and tracking the repair progress.

The team in charge of repairing the quantum sonar detection system was Repair Group 1, led by Zhang Weichen. He had arrived even earlier today and was already assigning today's repair tasks with his sixty team members using the fault list.

The teams for the dedicated channel communication system, negative pressure power system, power storage remote control system, anti-corrosion valve switch series, hull restoration and coating, etc., also began to gradually enter their working state.

"Engineer Niu, in this situation, do I still need to stay here often?" Liu Xiaolin asked with a smile.

"Well, not just you, I don't need to stay here every day either. Only Ivanov and Kayaski need to stay here every day to track the progress," Niu De also smiled. With good overall planning, and effective use of middle management and technical personnel, the higher-ups are not so tired.

"That's great. I haven't been home for a long time, and I plan to go back and see. Also, I haven't checked on Tonglin New Concept Automobile Co., Ltd. for a long time, so I need to go and see it too." Since arriving at Wanderer Aerospace Headquarters last time, Liu Xiaolin had been constantly on the go for over a month. Today, everything was on the right track, so it was time to go home and see. Mom and Tongtong were still busy at home with matters concerning the Medical Aid Foundation, and he hadn't even had time to inquire.

"Yes, go back. I'll be fine here. I'll contact you if there are any problems." Niu De also saw that Liu Xiaolin was eager to return home and, of course, supported him.

After saying goodbye to Kayaski and Ivanov, Liu Xiaolin drove off in his black loves gift no. 1. He stopped at New Hope for an hour to listen to Shen Zhiyong report on his recent work.

Since becoming a small shareholder in New Hope, Shen Zhiyong's work enthusiasm had been soaring. He meticulously handled both major and minor matters and had received the true teachings of Liu Xiaolin's management methods. The distribution of wages and benefits was very generous, so the workers' morale was stable and their work was active, and the profits had actually increased.

Next, Liu Xiaolin rushed non-stop to Tonglin New Concept Automobile Co., Ltd. As soon as the car drove into the factory, several key personnel came out to greet him. Deputy General Manager Wu Qingfu, Technology Minister Chief Lu, Procurement Minister Su Qian, and Sales Minister Director Shui Ziliu all shook hands and exchanged greetings with Liu Xiaolin.

"General Manager Liu, you're finally back! I have good news to report to you!" Sales Minister Director Shui Ziliu said excitedly.
