1066: Chapter 1067: The Ill-Intentioned Construction Group 1066: Chapter 1067: The Ill-Intentioned Construction Group That evening, Xiao Chen and Andi, among others, drank until they were thoroughly intoxicated.

The next day, everyone had their own affairs to attend to, so they all busied themselves with their tasks.

Xiao Chen also arrived at the Longcheng Preparatory Committee, taking up the responsibilities of a boss.

After all, one can’t truly be a hands-off manager.

Moreover, the Longcheng project was his own initiative, and he absolutely couldn’t afford any mistakes, so he naturally had to get things right.

With Bai Xue assisting him, the work was somewhat simplified.

All the projects were detailed and divided.

The vast majority of them required public tendering; whoever had the best bid would potentially win the project.

This was a principle.

There were also some less significant projects intended to be handled internally, allowing familiar parties to undertake them, as a sort of privilege.

Bai Xue brought the bid documents for Xiao Chen to review.

Despite the thick stack of papers, Xiao Chen didn’t feel bored at all, because these bid documents were tied to Longcheng’s future role as the economic hub of Dragon Country.

Whether Longcheng’s citizens could truly reap benefits.

In selecting bidding companies, Xiao Chen naturally favored those with solid capabilities, but he also paid close attention to emerging companies with potential.

Giving these companies a chance could help them grow.

After all, for the large companies, this might only be an opportunity to earn money.

But for those potential enterprises, it could be a chance to rise.

Xiao Chen was more than willing to nurture them.

“The bid from Duanmu Group is actually quite good, but it’s a pity that they would cooperate with conscienceless builders like Chen Hao.

I do not trust the quality.

Rejected!”

Xiao Chen directly placed the bid document in the rejected pile.

If the Duanmu Family knew about this, they would probably regret it to death.

These large family clans, having made a lot of dirty money, always think that their size would earn them favor, but it was Xiao Chen who was making the decisions now.

Not them.

“Xiongcheng City Construction Group?

They really dare to submit a bid, thinking everyone else is a fool?

Rejected!”

Xiao Chen’s expression darkened.

The construction issues with Xiongcheng City Construction Group were not just one or two isolated cases, but this company had never admitted to any wrongdoing, and instead, the whistleblowers inexplicably changed their stories or disappeared.

Such a company, if it could do things right, that would be a miracle.

“Fang’s Electronics Factory?

The Fang Family really dares.

Initially, they took Jiang Meng’s money, bought counterfeit and shoddy equipment, and if it wasn’t for my intervention to replace the fake goods with real ones, the products manufactured would all have been defective.

Yet to settle scores with you, you still have the nerve to come and bid, thinking that nobody knows about your wrongdoing?

Rejected!”

“Xinxing Construction Company!

Haha, the Fang Family’s company, so this is their old line of business, right?

Alright, I’ll approve this one–after all, the whole company will eventually be mine.”

Xiao Chen chuckled.

This company was the industry that Fang Enze redeemed with Jiang Meng’s money, nominally putting Zhang Qin’an in charge as the legal representative.

Thinking they had pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes, blind to that others knew.

What Fang Enze knew even less was that Zhang Qin’an had long been Xiao Chen’s man.

Xinxing Construction Company, whether in recruitment or construction, operated strictly according to Xiao Chen’s demands, so it was completely reliable.

The bid was also very well prepared.

Moreover, the project they bid for was valued at only ten billion, not too large, so it was entirely manageable for them.

It took Xiao Chen three days to go through all the bid documents and compile a list of prospective companies.

Essentially, every project will have three alternatives, and who ultimately gets it depends on their performance.

After finishing with these, Xiao Chen then took out the internal welfare projects.

He directly selected a project worth fifty billion, and then took the intention letter prepared by the Fang Family, signed his name, and stamped his seal.

However, the note specifically stated “Given the gravity of the matter, Xiao Corporation entrusts Ms.

Jiang Meng with this project due to trust, therefore she must be the person in charge, otherwise this signature and seal will be rendered ineffective!”

While Xiao Chen was busy with the project bidding.

At the headquarters of Xiongcheng City Construction Group, a group of directors was holding a meeting.

This construction group almost dominates half of the construction land in Xiongcheng City; half of the residential communities were built by them, as well as many infrastructure projects, which usually end up in their hands.

In Xiongcheng City, when it comes to construction, basically no one can compete with them.

This time they bid for thirteen projects, including the oil pipeline project from Tajin Country to Dragon Country; the main construction project of Longcheng;

the standard road construction project of Longcheng, among others.

With a total value exceeding several hundred billion, if the projects are successful, their gains would be tremendous.

Chen Leiting, the chairman of the group, said with a cold expression, “Gentlemen, I believe you understand the purpose of convening this meeting.

Although Xiongcheng City Construction Group is powerful, this time the Longcheng plan involves a huge investment, attracting the participation of countless enterprises from other regions.

The competition is very fierce.

Among them, there are many capable construction companies.

Tell me, how can we ensure that all thirteen of our projects win the bids?”

General Manager Chen Hao said displeasedly, “We are a local construction company in Xiongcheng City.

We should be taking the lead in this.

Xiao Corporation doesn’t take us seriously at all, they haven’t even contacted us.”

“That’s right, if Xiao Corporation collaborated with us on this matter, we could have earned a considerable profit, even if a few projects don’t win the bids.”

“So many projects really are tempting, if all thirteen bids are won, we could make trillions in the future, it’s truly astonishing!”

The directors present were all discontented.

“I heard that the person in charge of the Longcheng Preparatory Committee this time is a young man who seems to have some connections with Xiao Corporation and the authorities.

He appears to prefer companies with potential to participate in these projects,” said Chen Hao coldly.

“Bullshit!

What is he?

In Xiongcheng City, since when did it become their turn to call the shots?

If Xiao Corporation dares not to cooperate with us, we’ll make sure they can’t complete the Longcheng plan!” Chen Leiting sneered.

“But how exactly do we do that?”

Chen Hao looked at his father Chen Leiting and asked.

“That’s easy, just drag down the person in charge of this preparatory committee; we’ll determine who gets the bids, and then we take our cut!” Chen Leiting laughed.

“Chen Hao, how’s your investigation going?”

Chen Hao said, “I found out, the person in charge of this Longcheng Preparatory Committee is Xiao Chen from the Jiangnan Xiao Family, also the husband of the chairman of Xinmeng Group, Jiang Meng.

It’s strange though, although he used to work at Xiao Corporation, he left a while ago, and I don’t quite understand why this responsibility has fallen to him.”

“He’s just a puppet, a shield!” Chen Leiting laughed, “Never mind, even if he is a shield, he still has some power.

First, we control him, then we use him to control the real person in charge!

I will personally visit this man later to see what kind of person he really is.

Even if he’s a puppet, I guess he must be somewhat capable!

Chen Hao, make sure to expedite the matter with War God University.

We can’t afford to offend the Duanmu Family, and even less so, War God!”

“Don’t worry, father, I have it all under control!”

Chen Hao nodded and said.
