1669: Chapter 1667: Won the Bid 1669: Chapter 1667: Won the Bid Just when the branch office was in turmoil, the opening of bids for the Riverwater Valley Reservoir Project was scheduled for tomorrow.
“Leader, we’ve done all we could; we’re hoping for a fair tender process.”
Florida Collins was the most aware of the details of this bidding.
Peter had virtually not engaged in any activities.
His bid was submitted casually, and the quotation was a figure that Peter had written himself, which everyone found difficult to understand.
“All we can do is try our best.”
Seeing Florida’s worried expression, Peter appeared indifferent.
After hesitating, Florida asked, “Leader, if we don’t win the bid this ti, will it have a big impact on you?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”
Peter was truly unconcerned about this matter.
After seeing Florida exit, Peter couldn’t help but smile; nobody was optimistic about this tender.
When he got up and walked into Matthew Clarkson’s office, Matthew was sitting there deep in thought.
“Peter, what’s up?” Matthew looked at Peter with a puzzled expression as he entered.
“Well, there is sothing.
The opening of the bids for the Riverwater Valley Reservoir Project is tomorrow, and I need to attend it.”
“Oh, I had completely forgotten about that.
How confident are you?”
“You know how it is with these things.
We can’t say for certain until the bids are opened.”
Matthew nodded and said, “That’s true.
Besides, the atmosphere has been tense lately.
Even if one wanted to pull strings, they would be afraid to.
Anyway, just do your best.”
After discussing matters for a while longer, Peter then left.
Just as he entered his office, Peter received a phone call from Tobia Armstrong.
Tobia imdiately asked, “How’s the project going?
How confident are you about the bid opening tomorrow?”
In fact, the developnts of late had deeply shocked Tobia.
He realized that everything revolved around the powers behind Madison O’Donnell and Huxley Taylor.
Initially, Tobia hadn’t grasped the gravity of the situation, but as things progressed, he beca increasingly alard and began to take Peter more seriously.
Others might not be aware of what was happening, but Tobia, having received reports from Peter, knew that the Heshuiqing Project was where the two most formidable powers were concentrated.
Peter had said before that all he needed to do was to ensure his relationship network was solid and to aim for third place in the bid.
Now, with the two major powers embroiled in conflict and both encountering trouble, this would lead to a complete change for the Riverwater Valley Project.
Indeed, Tobia learned that the person in charge of the project had also run into trouble, followed by a major overhaul.
The provincial authority had placed stringent demands on the construction works, insisting on openness and transparency.
Things were evolving in a direction that was favorable to Peter and his team.
The more Tobia thought about it, the more he realized the strength of the power behind Peter.
Tobia was now convinced that Peter had significant backing.
One of the main reasons Tobia made this call today was to further confirm his suspicion.
After Peter received the call from Tobia, he said, “Mr.
Armstrong, rest assured, we have given it our all.”
“Hmm, I wish you success.”
Having hung up, Peter sat down to think and knew Tobia had always been paying attention to him.
He definitely couldn’t afford to drop the ball now!
The tender opening took place at the county level, and Florida clearly took the matter to heart.
She quickly grasped the situation of all parties involved and inford Peter, “Leader, we’re still in third place.
The companies belonging to Madison and Huxley have also arrived.
However, it’s clear that their companies seem to have encountered so kind of trouble.
It seems the county personnel aim to minimize entanglent with them.
I heard that the leaders are taking the tender very seriously this ti, emphasizing the necessity of an open, transparent, and fair process, and everything should be based on the quality of the tenders.”
Florida looked at Peter while saying this.
Honestly, she was not very confident about the figure Peter had decided on.
Peter nodded slightly and said, “Then let’s just wait for the tender to be opened.”
The next morning, Peter led the team towards the county.
Quite a large number of people went this ti, including staff from the business departnt, the office, and various other areas.
Upon arrival, it beca clear that the tender process had changed from the past.
There were monitors present, ensuring a transparent opening of bids.
“Very strict!”
Leah Nelson also arrived, her mood very good.
Although she was the deputy director, since her superior, Henry Carter, had been involved in scandal, he was no longer a threat, and she knew that her opportunity might be coming again.
As ti ticked away, the people who arrived grew nervous.
This ti everything was transparent; everyone knew that all their previous work might be in vain as the focus was now on the quality of the tender docunts.
While everyone was tense, Peter found a place to sit down, evidently very calm.
When the bids from the companies of Madison and Huxley were revealed, Florida looked at Peter with astonishnt in her eyes.
And when Peter’s own bid was announced, the room was filled with puzzlent.
This!
No one knew what to say.
Soon, the list of successful bidders was announced on the spot.
The winner of the Heshuiqing Project was Provincial Construction Engineering Group Ltd.
When the successful bidder was announced, the people Peter had brought with him jumped up in excitent.
At that ti, Florida looked at Peter with a complex expression, knowing only she understood how precise Peter’s tender figure had been.
If anyone now said that Peter had not done his groundwork, she would not believe it, even if she were beaten to death; without behind-the-scenes work, how could one possibly know the bid details of the other two companies so clearly?
Although she harbored such doubts, Florida did not voice them, for she knew so things should not be spoken aloud.
Reid Nelson, seeing Florida’s expression, praised, “You guys are too aweso, just off by 1,000 dollars!
That tender was unbeatable!”
At that mont, Peter smiled at Florida and said, “Comrades have been working hard recently.
You’ve done well, and a reward is in order when we return.”
The business departnt staff, who had co with Florida, also looked at Peter with complicated expressions.
When Florida presented Peter’s figure, everyone had many different opinions, but it was that exact figure that secured the company the bid.
How exactly did Peter manage that?
