I am doing well in the Siheyuan

After coming to his senses, he noticed several special footprints at the edge of the site, which was due to his professional alertness as an architect.

He thought those footprints were unusual: "These are not our own footprints. It has been a while. You should not only see the footprints themselves, but also pay attention to their location - it is clear that other architects have come here to check the site, and there is more than one person.

It seems that what Han Chunming said is true. I am afraid that this competition will not be easy. "

Although Mr. Li sighed, he was not discouraged at all. Instead, he showed excitement and was eager to try.

If this bid is not challenging at all, it would make his abilities seem mediocre.

When many architectural designers in the old city were busy designing the Qiu Ding Commercial Building, Uncle Liu unexpectedly met Hou Su'e.

It was Hou Su'e who took the initiative to approach Uncle Liu and expressed her interest in participating in the construction project of the Qiu Ding Commercial Building.

"Is your father the ragged marquis?"

Uncle Liu looked at the simple woman in front of him and was quite surprised.

“Yes, but there were some misunderstandings between him and me, and we no longer interact frequently.

But not long ago, he suddenly became rich, and seeing that I was in a difficult situation, he gave me some money to help me start my business."

Hou Su'e responded frankly and narrated her experience in a more tactful way.

With the funds obtained from Hou Polan in hand, she began to look for investment opportunities.

Restaurants and hotels are springing up everywhere, and the tastes of the old people in the city have gradually solidified. Many stores that cannot meet authentic standards have been eliminated, and there are many variables for new stores to open.

As for the antique industry, after the counterfeit incident was exposed by the Foley auction house, the industry threshold has been significantly raised. For ordinary people who are involved in antique trading, the value of the real thing may not be better than the fake one. Once they buy a counterfeit, they may lose all their money.

After some twists and turns and inquiries, Hou Su'e also set her sights on the Qiu Ding Commercial Building project.

After learning that Uncle Liu had a previous connection with Hou Paolan because of antiques, he decided to visit him to seek cooperation.

"How much money are you going to invest?"

After confirming Hou Su'e's identity, Uncle Liu began to think about it.

Hou Paolan has a great skill in identifying antiques and maintains connections with many industry leaders. If Hou Su'e can get in touch with him, he may be able to lend a helping hand at a critical moment.

Moreover, even if faced with difficulties, as the daughter of the Marquis of Raglan, she would not stand idly by.

"Take out 200,000 first. If it's not enough, I can add another 100,000."

Hou Su'e was straightforward and directly reported half of her wealth.

"Three hundred thousand should be about right. You know that the Qiu Ding Commercial Building project is very expensive."

Although Uncle Liu was surprised that Hou Su'e asked for three hundred thousand, he still tried his best to remain calm.

In comparison, Xu Damao was very stingy. Even if he transferred all of Jin Changsheng's shares, he could only raise 250,000 yuan.

"Then how are you going to arrange this three hundred thousand?"

Hou Su'e looked confused. She was not well versed in business. Although she had money, she was at a loss as to how to use it.

But she was not without ulterior motives. She mentioned Marquis Paola at the beginning just to make people hesitate, and now she was testing Uncle Liu's reaction.

“I want to inject all the three hundred thousand into Jinsheng Construction Company to further expand the scale of the company.

I can give you 20% of the shares of the construction company, what do you think?"

There was a hint of winning over in Uncle Liu's tone.

Jinsheng Construction Company invested about one million yuan when it was first established, and later increased its investment. Its current estimated value is about one and a half million yuan. Giving away 20% of the shares is undoubtedly a show of sincerity.

Hou Su'e herself may not be worth the price, but the ragged Hou behind her is definitely worth it.

"Okay, after all, this is our first cooperation, I believe you will not treat me unfairly."

Hou Su'e stared at Uncle Liu's face intently until she was sure that he had no intention of deceiving her, then she nodded in agreement.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Uncle Liu stretched out his hand.

"Happy cooperation!"

The two then discussed the specific contents of the contract in detail and finalized the signing time.

Afterwards, Uncle Liu invited Hou Su'e to dinner, but she declined.

Time flies, and it's noon in a blink of an eye.

Uncle Liu brought up this matter when he was having dinner with Su Meng.

"Uncle, is this true?"

Su Meng's face was full of disbelief.

This is like a dream coming true.

"Of course it's true. I can tell you this news because I have verified its authenticity."

Uncle Liu had a smug smile on his face.

The reason why the contract was not signed immediately was because he needed to confirm Hou Su'e's identity.

After some investigation, he learned that Hou Polan did have a daughter, who was Hou Su'e herself, and he was completely relieved.

"That's great. How do we handle Xu Damao's situation?"

Su Meng's face also showed joy. After the appearance of a new partner, Xu Damao's position seemed less important.

"Mengmeng, your idea is not right. We are doing business, not playing house. We must not act on impulse.

Xu Damao has been on very close terms with the construction team recently. If you take action against him, won't it cause chaos inside us?"

Uncle Liu reminded at the right time.

Su Meng has a particularly strong sense of independence and is eager to achieve great results single-handedly no matter what the situation.

This kind of personality has obvious advantages and is full of motivation, enough to accomplish great things.

However, his shortcomings are also prominent. After all, his personal abilities are limited and it is difficult to expand his career to a grand scale.

"Then let him work in our company!"

Su Meng frowned slightly and reluctantly accepted Uncle Liu's proposal.

Deep down in her heart, she still had a trace of contempt for Xu Damao.

Time is fleeting and fleeting.

The next day.

Under the witness of Su Meng, Hou Su'e and Uncle Liu signed the contract together.

This time, the three of them had dinner together and the atmosphere was harmonious.

As a woman, Su Meng had a very pleasant conversation with Hou Su'e.

In comparison, Uncle Liu could only occasionally interject a word or two.

After the meal, in order to demonstrate his strength, Uncle Liu took Hou Su'e to visit the construction company and revealed relevant matters about Hong Kong architects.

This move made Hou Su'e quite satisfied, as it seemed that the possibility of winning the bid had greatly increased.

When Jinsheng Construction Company was preparing to expand to a higher level, Ma Ruosong encountered a bottleneck.

After the design is finalized, the choice of structure and materials becomes the key.

Since Ma Ruosong is from Hong Kong, his thinking tends to be more in line with international standards, and the special building materials he chooses are mostly unique to Hong Kong and are hard to find in the local market in Hong Kong.

Even if it can be shipped from Hong Kong, not only will the cost be high, but the transportation problem is also unknown.

Therefore, they had to go deep into the Sijiucheng market and check the supply situation and corresponding prices of various building materials one by one.

Steel, the main material needed to build a hundred-meter-high building, has uncertainties in terms of production and quality at local steel mills.
