Pharaoh.
Cairo City.
Ding Yue, along with his team from Feiyue Group here for the engineering bid, checked into a five-star hotel in Cairo City.
It must be said, the current capital of the Pharaoh, that is Cairo City, doesn’t look very modern from the outside, many buildings are rather old, even the exterior of this five-star hotel lacks the tropolitan vibe.
Given this situation, it’s understandable that the Pharaoh wants a completely new modern tropolis.
This ti, Ding Yue ca to realize every dream, while letting his Feiyue Construction Company make a na for itself and earn a big profit from the 60 billion USD construction funds for the city.
"Principal Ding, after checking into the hotel today, we’ll rest for three days. During these three days, we can explore Cairo City and experience the local customs and culture."
Secretary Wen Ruohan introduced the upcoming itinerary to Principal Ding.
The bidding conference will be held in a week.
"On the fifth day, we have a chance to et Alphat, the head of the new capital’s administrative committee," Wen Ruohan continued.
"Hmm."
Ding Yue nodded: "Got it."
As long as they can et the head of the new capital’s administrative committee before the official open bidding, it’s fine. Ding Yue’s plan is to take this opportunity to present his "Oasis City Plan" to the Pharaoh, allowing them to experience his design for a true oasis city.
"So, Principal Ding, what are your plans for the next few days?"
An Yujia asked with a smile.
"Take a stroll around Cairo City, aren’t we going to check out the pyramids? Oh, and the new capital site located dozens of kiloters away from Cairo City should be visited too, right?"
Ding Yue shrugged and said to An Yujia.
"Mm-hmm, that sounds great."
An Yujia agreed that this itinerary is quite good, covering the exploration of Cairo City and the Pharaoh’s local culture, as well as an inspection of the new capital site.
After all, if Feiyue Construction Company wins the project of Pharaoh’s new capital, they will build a world-renowned oasis city from scratch there.
Indeed.
In the next few days, Ding Yue and the team visited many places in Cairo City.
Coincidentally, Ding Yue encountered soone else also from Xia Country in Cairo City, whom he had t before and considered discussing collaboration to secure the Pharaoh’s new capital project with, but unexpectedly got arrogantly rejected by.
That’s right.
This person is Liu Haicheng, the head of Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau.
In the public bidding for the Pharaoh’s new capital construction project, top construction companies worldwide have co to participate, with their heads personally leading their teams.
From what Ding Yue knows, there are Liu Haicheng from Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau, Peter from Arican Bridge, and Adolf from Keweite Construction Company.
"Miss An, Principal Ding, Mr. Chen, we et again!"
When Liu Haicheng saw these three acquaintances, he greeted them with a smile.
"Mr. Liu."
An Yujia greeted Liu Haicheng, followed by so pleasantries: "I’ve heard that Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau ca well-prepared this ti to secure the Pharaoh’s new capital construction project? Our Feiyue Construction Company is just here as a runner to boost the montum for Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau."
An Yujia’s humble words, evidently reflecting Principal Ding’s ethos.
As it turns out, Liu Haicheng really took it seriously and replied with a smile: "You can say that."
Good grief!
This Liu Haicheng truly doesn’t understand modesty, effortlessly climbing up the pole.
"Miss An, Principal Ding, Mr. Chen, where are you heading?"
eting "his people" in Cairo was a rare chance for Liu Haicheng, better than running into those foreigners, so he decided to check with them, since the bidding hasn’t started yet, they can have a friendly chat together.
"We toured Cairo City and are heading to check out the new Cairo City site, are you interested, Mr. Liu?" Ding Yue asked Liu Haicheng with a smile.
"Of course."
Liu Haicheng nodded "Now that I’m here in Pharaoh’s Cairo City, I have to check out the site."
From Liu Haicheng’s words, Ding Yue gleaned so information that Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau had not previously conducted a site visit for the New Cairo City planning.
There are two possibilities for not conducting a site visit.
One possibility is that Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau is extrely confident, with sufficient data, and they are confident in making a great plan for New Cairo City even without site visit data.
The second possibility is that Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau’s people are simply not "rigorous," not conducting a site visit even in advance.
Thus, Ding Yue’s group, along with Liu Haicheng’s group, traveled together from Cairo City to the New Cairo City site, located dozens of kiloters away.
On the road, Liu Haicheng shared a car with Ding Yue, watching through the car window, seeing nothing but road and endless yellow sand, he couldn’t help but sigh: "Building a new city in such an environnt is really not easy."
