Li Qingya and Li Qingyun were shocked upon hearing this, "Xiyu, are you serious?"
Liang Xiyu replied, "Why would I deceive you? Our Jiangqi Group is after all a governnt enterprise. Many directors in the board have connections that reach the sky, and they are extrely sensitive to information. It was they who told my father and to seek cooperation with Mr. Qin."
Li Qingyun slightly nodded, "If Xinghai Company can even control unmanned aircrafts, then autonomous driving for cars really wouldn't be difficult for them."
Liang Xiyu looked at them and said, "Your Kangi Group is really lucky to have started working with Mr. Qin from the beginning. Tell , did you two use your charms on Mr. Qin?"
Hearing this, Li Qingya and her sister's cheeks turned slightly red, "Xiyu, please don't say things like that. Mr. Qin isn't that type of person. He never made any improper proposals; it's all business cooperation."
Liang Xiyu chuckled, "Is that so? Look at your reaction. Don't tell you haven't thought about Mr. Qin?"
Her words made Li Qingya and her sister's cheeks flush even redder, "Xiyu, when I get back, I'm telling aunt that you're bullying us."
...
At eleven thirteen, Qin Hao arrived at Jianghai Airport. After waiting a few minutes, Xia Qing and his family ca out from the airport.
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Tian, Xiaoqing, get in the car," Qin Hao took their luggage and had soone put it in the trunk.
After getting in the car, Qin Hao sat in the passenger seat, while Xia Qing and his family took the back seat. Their first stop was a hotel where they had lunch.
After lunch, Qin Hao wanted to take them to his own ho for them to stay, but Xia Yingjie insisted on going to Xia Qing's residence in Jianghai City, so they ended up going there.
Qin Hao followed them upstairs, where Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong tidied up the bedroom.
He said to Xia Qing, "Xiaoqing, should I buy you a place elsewhere? Renting all the ti isn't a solution."
Xia Qing shook her head, "There's no need, Xiao Hao. I have money now. In a few days, I'll go look at so places with my parents."
"Do you have enough money?"
"Yes, I have tens of millions."
After tidying up the room, Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong erged. Xia Yingjie said with a smile, "Xiao Hao, I heard you're building a 288-story skyscraper. Take to see it. After that, we'll go register the company."
Qin Hao responded, "Mr. Xia, there's no rush for that. How about we go after you and aunt rest a bit?"
Xia Yingjie said, "It's fine. It was just a two or three-hour flight, and I'm not tired. Let's go."
The group headed to the construction site of the building. Originally, Qin Hao intended to na it Jiangshan Building, but later thought Xinghai Building would be more appropriate.
First, because Xinghai Company's influence was greater, and since the building was a comprehensive structure, naming it Xinghai Building suited his vision more appropriately.
Half an hour later, Qin Hao's motorcade reached the construction site. Outside, many cars were parked, all belonging to the managent of the four major construction engineering companies.
The building had already reached nearly twenty stories. Although it was now winter, it did not affect the progress.
Previously, construction would usually halt in cold weather since the cold made the materials less stable, potentially leading to collapse. However, now, a new type of building material was being used, which was resistant to low temperatures.
Once they got out of the car, Qin Hao said, "Mr. Xia, please be careful."
Leng Xuan and others walked ahead to the entrance, where an employee guarded the construction site. The sign read: "Restricted area, no unauthorized access."
However, upon seeing Qin Hao, the employees imdiately recognized him, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"
"Open the gate; I want to check the construction progress," Qin Hao said.
The man opened the gate and hurriedly took out so safety helts; leaders often ca for inspections, so there were many helts available.
After putting on their helts, Qin Hao and his group entered the site. Inside, the noise of machinery was incessant, and construction materials were piled up like small hills.
Seeing the scale of the building, Xia Yingjie gasped in astonishnt, "This building is massive."
Since it already had over twenty floors, the scale of the building could be gauged from its length from east to west, and north to south.
The length of each floor was several hundred ters; Xia Yingjie estimated it by looking around and thought it was over two hundred ters long. It was shorter from north to south but still over one hundred ters long.
This was a 288-story building. The base alone had to be enormous—it was a vast project.
"Xiao Hao, just these twenty floors must have cost billions, right?" Xia Yingjie ntioned as they walked.
Qin Hao slightly nodded. He had been keeping an eye on various accounts, "About over two billion so far, and we settle the workers' wages monthly."
The construction workers up on the floors were not from the four major construction engineering companies. Instead, these companies had subcontracted the work to foren.
The four major companies handled material transport, supervising construction, etc. Most of the profits went into the pockets of these construction engineering companies, with only a small part going to the foren, who then paid the construction workers.
Qin Hao and others slowly made their way around. Xia Yingjie kept looking and curiously said, "Xiao Hao, let's go up and see, Xiaoqing, you guys wait down here for us."
"Okay, Uncle Xia," a few of them took an elevator platform to the construction site on the top floor.
Xia Yingjie turned to him and said, "Xiao Hao, you need to be prepared."
Qin Hao was startled and looked at him, "Prepared for what, Uncle Xia?"
Xia Yingjie asked, "Prepared to be conned. What will you do if substandard materials have been used in this building?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao's expression slightly changed, "Uncle Xia, have you noticed sothing?"
He was a layman in construction engineering and hadn't studied this area, so he considered himself an outsider.
Xia Yingjie replied, "Not yet, but we might find out when we get there."
"Would these four major construction engineering companies really want to jeopardize their own reputation?" Qin Hao furrowed his brows. After all, if there was a problem with the construction, they would bear the primary responsibility.
Xia Yingjie said, "Jeopardize their reputation? Such a thing doesn't exist. If they use substandard materials, a building that should last a hundred years might collapse in just over a decade.
By then, who would rember the four major construction companies? With such a big accident, you, being the owner of the building, would definitely be held accountable.
They won't say it's a problem with the materials but will claim there was an issue with your building's design. After all, with such a tall building, no one can guarantee your design is correct, only you know it is."
Hearing Xia Yingjie's words, Qin Hao inwardly took a cold gasp. If that were indeed the case, and the building encountered problems decades later, he couldn't imagine the consequences and the impact it would have.
