Hexagonal God

Chapter 553 Winning the Bid
At this moment, Donald's ambition burned like wildfire.

At this moment, the favorability towards Su Mo soared by ten points again, reaching 69 points.

Seeing this situation, Su Mo did not hesitate and directly locked the target on Donald.

The favorability level soared directly to 100 points and remained there forever.

Donald himself didn't feel anything, he just felt that Su Mo in front of him was pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him.

He whispered, "Su, are you really willing to campaign for me and provide financial support?"

Su Mo nodded gently. "We Chinese have an old saying, 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.' I always keep my word. After all, we are friends, aren't we?"

"Yes, yes, we are friends, good friends forever!"

Donald felt that meeting Su Mo today was the biggest gain of his trip. If he could really be elected, then this would be greater than any other gain.

At the subsequent reception, King Rama X attended and toasted the guests.

Su Mo also enjoyed the honor of being toasted by the king alone. After all, no one present didn't know him.

He is not only the person with the most fans in the world, but also a successful businessman and may be the richest man in China.

Su Mo did not have a deep conversation with Rama X, as this man was about to abdicate, and Thailand would be ruled by Dawa from now on.

As for the bid documents, Su Mo had already prepared them.

No matter what the other party's bid was, Su Mo would follow the conditions that were most favorable to himself and his country.

First of all, Su Mo wants the right to manage the waterway for a hundred years. Within a hundred years, Su Tang Company will pay 30% of its net profit to the Thai royal family as fees every year.

The charging standards for the waterway are set by Su Tang, and the Thai royal family is not allowed to interfere.

If any military ships pass through, Su Tang will report to the Thai royal family in advance.

The Thai royal family does not need to spend a penny on the entire development process, as it is all borne by Su Tang Company.

The Thai royal family only needs to coordinate domestic relations and do a good job of relocating the people.

Su Tang will pay 10 billion US dollars in one lump sum for the construction of the canal. If the amount is insufficient later, it can be increased and the funds will be immediately injected into the account after the contract is signed.

In addition, Su Tang will focus on the environmental management and protection of the river, so that the people on both sides of the river can become prosperous as soon as possible. Within 20 years, Thailand's per capita income, living index, etc. will surely reach the level of developed countries.

In fact, many companies can provide a series of conditions such as the above, and they will not even ask for an exorbitant price from someone like Su Mo.

For example, the right to manage a waterway for a hundred years is almost the same as permanent ownership.

After all, many securities in the world cannot exist for more than a hundred years. After a hundred years, who knows what the world will look like.

But Su Mo proposed this because he was sure of winning.

As for the final issue of environmental protection and allowing Thailand to reach the level of a developed country, it gave Rama X an excuse to choose him.

So Su Mo didn't need to try too hard to please him, since there would be no problem anyway.

During the banquet, Su Mo met some important figures from all over the world, but Su Mo did not take the initiative to greet them.

Especially those people with arrogant faces, Su Mo completely ignores them. You can still put on airs in front of me now, but soon, everything will be turned around.

After the banquet, Su Mo spent the next two days traveling around Bangkok.

The bid has been submitted, and the engineering contracting scroll has been used by Su Mo, so we just have to wait for the result.

Donald and Musk also left the Morgan Consortium and simply followed Su Mo around.

Now Su Mo is the financial sponsor. Not to mention the favorability of several people, they have to accompany him just for their own interests.

During this period, Musk even told Su Mo that the Morgan family would compete with the Rothschild family for the construction rights of the waterway, and it would be difficult for others to win the bid.

Su Mo didn't say much, knowing that Musk meant well and was giving him a heads-up in advance to prevent him from being too disappointed if the bid failed.

If I say more, it will seem like I’m bragging. Let’s just wait for the results.

When I get tired of playing, I drag these two people out for a drink. It is also quite fulfilling to make these two future big men drunk every day.

It was not until the third day, when the bidding results were about to be announced, that Su Mo took them back to the bidding site.

At the bidding site, Su Mo even saw reporters from CCTV.

Su Mo and CCTV are old friends. They have collaborated many times and he knows many people.

This reporter had also seen Su Mo before, and when he saw him, he immediately took the initiative to say hello.

"Su Shen!"

Su Mo nodded: "Live broadcast?"

"Well, there's no live broadcast. Let's record it first. If your company wins the bid, it will be featured prominently in today's news broadcast. If not, then just mention it briefly and let it go."

"Then you should film well, capture more scenes, do more interviews, and capture the key points. They will be useful today."

"what do you mean?"

The reporter reacted quickly, immediately turning on the camera and starting an impromptu interview with Su Mo.

"Hello, Mr. Su, welcome to our interview." "Hello, everyone watching on TV, I'm Su Mo."

"Boss Su, are you participating in the waterway bidding in Thailand this time under the name of the Su Tang Group?"

"No, it's in the name of our engineering company under the Su Tang Group."

"So how confident are you about this bid?"

"Of course, there's no absolute certainty, but our bid is very well done, and I think our base price should also meet the expectations of the Thai royal family, so I think the chances are around 90%."

Su Mo's words made the reporters couldn't help but stick out their tongues. This young man really dared to speak out.

90%. If we fail to win the bid, it will give people something to talk about.

Fortunately, this is a recorded broadcast and can be edited later, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Then what benefits do you think the opening of this waterway will bring to our country?"

"If another company wins the bid, the benefits to us will be very limited. But if I win, the benefits to us will be enormous. First, the shipping distance will be shortened, second, the cost will be reduced, and most importantly, we won't have to worry about anyone making things difficult for us. I think this is what every sailor would like to see."

"Then we wish you success in obtaining the construction rights."

"must!"

The on-site interviews here attracted the attention of many foreigners.

South Korean Jung Joon-hee even curled his lips: "You are so arrogant! How can you compete with the number one and number two families in the world? You are just a country bumpkin with a little money."

The representatives of the Rothschild family and the Morgan family glanced at Su Mo with some disdain.

For people like them who have been passed down the tradition for almost two hundred years and stand at the top of the world pyramid, Su Mo is indeed nothing.

It was just the arrogant remarks of an ignorant boy. They had done a lot of work behind the scenes and even had direct dialogue with Rama X. They were very confident of winning the bid.

In particular, the representative of the Rothschild family had already heard the other party's inclination in the conversation with King Rama, and he also gave Rama X a luxury house in Beverly Hills worth hundreds of millions of US dollars.

King Rama X happily accepted it. Could he accept the gift and not do the job?

No one took Su Mo seriously at this moment. Although his career was doing well, it was nothing compared to the world.

Everyone is waiting for the bidding results to come out.

Inside the banquet hall, countless cameras were aimed at King Rama X on the stage.

When the time came, King Rama X opened a file bag and took out a bid.

“Ahem~~~!”

After a cough, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and many people even held their breath.

There is no need to say much about the importance of waterways. There are four most important waterways in the world, namely the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Today's construction of the Thai Canal has directly destroyed more than half of the power of the Strait of Malacca. It will be the fifth most important waterway in the world.

Whoever can obtain the construction rights will most likely obtain the management rights, and will have a steady stream of huge wealth.

King Rama X cleared his throat before making the official announcement.

"Based on a joint review by me, members of the Thai royal family, and key government officials, we have unanimously determined that the company that built the Kra Canal on the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand is."

Everyone kept their mouths shut, and everyone looked a little nervous.

Although everyone feels hopeful, there is no absolute certainty.

After the long note was played, King Rama X made the official announcement.

"From China, Su Tang Engineering Contracting Co., Ltd."

As soon as the decision was announced, Donald and Musk beside Su Mo immediately applauded enthusiastically.

Although they came with the Morgan family, winning the bid or not didn't matter much to them now. At this moment, their favorable impression of Su Mo overwhelmed everything, and they immediately took the lead in applauding.

Many people's faces were distorted. No one expected that Su Mo would win the bid.

Some people clapped reluctantly, while others were too lazy to even go through the motions.

South Korean Jung Joon-hee stood up in disbelief: "No! This is impossible! How did he win the bid? Is this a shady deal?"

After hearing this, many people also cast doubtful eyes. Judging from the situation, if King Rama X cannot give a reasonable explanation, they will not recognize the fairness of this bid.

King Rama X immediately glared at the Koreans. "How could there be any secret operation? Many people have given me gifts these past few days. Except for Su Mo, everyone else here has given me gifts. For the sake of stability, I accepted them all. But what really impressed me was the tender document!"

"Su Tang made a promise in his bid to make Thailand a developed country within 20 years. Who among you dares to make such a guarantee?"

King Rama X, who had already planned to retire, was questioned and immediately became furious. He started to argue on the spot, embarrassing all the bigwigs present.

All of this was recorded by CCTV reporters, who were secretly delighted.

Su Shen did a great job this time. All the people who gave gifts failed to win the bid, only he succeeded. He made the Chinese people proud. This news was broadcast on the News Broadcast and it would definitely become the headline of hot discussion on the entire network.
