Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

The group's businesses are limited to just a few types.

Several major types of institutions have regular partners, but for institutions like Zhetong University, there are no construction plans for the time being.

Even if there were such a thing, it wouldn't warrant Lin Zhe bringing it up personally.

Then the various design agencies under his command can handle it.

It was something that Lin Zhe brought up, and he specifically instructed that the top domestic and international companies be found so that he could personally compare them.

That's definitely a "big job".

A big deal that could pique Lin Zhe's interest.

Zhang Yuliang guessed it based on Zhetong's current situation.

This must be the group's headquarters building.

President Lin must be considering it.

The office building at the group headquarters is now inadequate for Zhetong's size.

Many departments work in other office buildings within the headquarters factory area.

In addition, the main office building in the factory area does look rather ordinary.

It's not surprising that President Lin wants to build another grand headquarters building for the group.

……

In half a day, Zhang Yuliang and her colleagues had compiled a list.

It's not that their work efficiency is low.

After compiling the statistics, they have to go through detailed research and verification of the information to confirm its authenticity.

After all, these days, advertisements dare to make any boastful claims.

In addition, we need to select a more professional one.

Finally, give Lin Zhe a detailed selection.

The list includes five companies: two design firms are domestic, and the other three are foreign.

……

After glancing at it, Lin Zhe immediately made the arrangements.

We invited all five design companies to our headquarters for a meeting.

After all, I'm a complete novice when it comes to designing things, so they have to explain their respective advantages in person.

Then we'll select another option and put it up for bidding.

Once the order is successful, we give it to them to work on.

……

The message received a response very quickly after it was released.

The five companies clearly stated that they would immediately arrange for personnel to make contact.

On the second day, representatives from the two domestic companies arrived one after another.

Since it's within the country, the itinerary will be much more convenient.

The two companies arrived at Lin Zhe's office in the morning and afternoon, respectively.

One of the representatives was the vice president, while the other was the person in charge in person.

Their attitude goes without saying.

Few people would not lower their stance when facing such a behemoth as Zhetong.

If this order is done well, it won't just bring in a lot of design fees.

More importantly, they have the opportunity to leave a significant mark on the architectural world, which is a golden brand for their design firm.

No amount of advertising or blueprint planning is as effective as presenting existing case studies.

All your rambling about your company winning design awards and having renowned architects under your wing is no match for a single case study.

Presenting an example like the Siguni Opera House would suffice.

Lin Zhe personally received both families when they arrived.

Then I listened to their introduction.

Lin Zhe didn't make a decision yet, but after understanding the situation, he arranged for the company to book the best hotel in Binhai and their plane tickets back for tomorrow.

The next day, a company from overseas rushed over.

What surprised Lin Zhe even more was that the person who came was their company's boss.

Most importantly, this company is a well-known name in the industry, a genuine international design giant.

I didn't expect the boss to arrive so quickly.

He looked tired, so he must have rushed over as soon as he heard the news.

……

Just last night, the owner of Livis Design Studio made arrangements immediately after receiving Zhetong's invitation.

His private jet obviously can't fly across the ocean.

So he immediately instructed his secretary to pack a simple bag containing a change of clothes and personal items and board the private jet.

Then we flew to a large airport.

Then I quickly bought a ticket for the next available flight to Binhai.

In other words, there are very frequent flights to and from large coastal cities every day.

There are flights to and from several major cities in the United States every few hours.

However, these positions are usually in high demand, as they involve travel between several super popular cities.

Fortunately, we were lucky enough.

His secretary got him a plane ticket before he left.

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to money.

The tickets were already sold out.

But his secretary stopped people at the airport and charged one of the passengers several times more for a refund.

He quickly followed suit.

That's how they managed to get William a budget economy class ticket to the seaside.

This was quite a novel experience for William.

After all, having been born into a wealthy family, he had never tried economy class.

This is the first time.

The experience wasn't great.

Airlines are squeezing out economy class seats to maximize ticket sales.

Sitting in a cramped and crowded place where you can't even stretch your legs is unlikely to be a good experience.

Moreover, this is a flight that takes more than eleven hours.

This is truly agonizing.

When they arrived at the seaside, William even felt that his legs were not very nimble when he got out of his seat.

It was a difficult journey for him.

But if we can secure an order from Zhetong Power, it will be worthwhile.

As a member of the business world, William has an extremely keen sense of smell.

Although he didn't have much talent in design, his design institute boasted some of the world's best design masters and talents.

Zhetong had already sensed it when he landed in the American mainland.

But unfortunately, there weren't many opportunities.

Now that Zheton has grown into a giant in the energy industry, William dreams of taking his orders.

Without a doubt, they are not short of money.

Money doesn't matter, as long as the design is excellent, he's willing to stake everything on what makes his design firm the best in the industry.

Let the future Zhetong headquarters building become the best benchmark for the design institute for the next ten or even decades.

……

After taking a sip of hot tea from China, William felt some of his fatigue ease.

The man in front of me was easier to get along with than I had imagined.

"Dear Mr. Lin, please allow me to introduce you..."

William then gave Lin Zhe a systematic introduction to their Levis Design Studio with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Lin Zhe listened quietly from the side, nodding occasionally.

……

William was notified two days later.

Their design firm and Lin Zhe's domestic design firm both won the right to bid.

They were asked to each come up with an initial plan.

Finally, based on the proposed plan, it will be determined which design company to use.

Of course, even if they fail to win the bid, they will still receive a substantial participation fee, so at least their efforts won't be in vain.

One of the two licensed companies is located in China, and the other is overseas.

What they had in common was that their bosses both came in person to explain things to Lin Zhe.

As for the other three, Lin Zhe will not consider them.

Regardless of the reason, the boss's absence speaks volumes. (End of Chapter)
