south.
Tianya Island.
On the sea less than 30 nautical miles away from the high seas.
A huge yacht is moving slowly.
The people on the boat stayed partying and having fun for three days and three nights.
At this moment, everyone was in a very low mood.
Frances and Edward were silent to each other, wearing shirts and beach shorts, holding wine glasses, but the expressions on their faces were like their dead mothers.
"Originally, we were in control, and the Great China Group could obviously win!"
Jiang Ping came to Tianya Island again.
As the president of Jiang Capital and Great China Group, he wants to report the situation to the two young masters.
Hong Fenhao, Yuan Huan, Jin Qiaoqiao and others were all nearby.
Their faces are not very pretty.
Things are already clear.
It has spread throughout Handong Province.
They lost!
"It's impossible. We have all the funds, technology, and personnel! We've also obtained the qualifications and permits, but why, in the end, it's not our project!"
Jiang Ping has not been exposed to the rules of doing things for people in the upper class of society.
With his knowledge and ability, he really can’t understand it, not at all!
Obviously Great China can win 100%!
This project belongs to none other than Great China!
They even won over Deputy Secretary Diao of the Handong Provincial Court.
But he still lost!
Why? !
Jiang Ping had been thinking about this problem on the way here by plane, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Francis and Edward were both silent.
This summer night was a surprise to them.
Unexpectedly, despite their comprehensive strength, Longteng Jiuzhou got this project!
"The Xia people are partial, and we can't do anything about it."
Edward spread his hands and didn't take it seriously.
Francis also nodded.
"Under the same conditions, Xia Guo will definitely choose Longteng Jiuzhou. On the contrary, we have all the funds and technology in place, but we cannot get the support of Xia Guoge Mansion."
Francis felt a little aggrieved.
Of course, when Dahuaxia was asked to compete with Longteng Group, they did not show up at all, so they did not suffer any substantial losses.
Great China Group is just a puppet company with a shell.
As long as funds and personnel are withdrawn, another Chinese company can be created at any time.
"It's just a pity that Xia Ye is a very strong opponent in the competition with Longteng Jiuzhou." Edward said with a smile.
Francis looked gloomy.
He became furious when he thought of the insults Xia Ye and the imperial businessmen had given their European consortium at the treasure appraisal conference.
And Francis also regarded Xia Ye as his opponent.
On the side, Hong Fenhao and others also had unwilling expressions on their faces.
Cai Wenwen and Du Anguo are also there.
They also heard about the competition between Great China Group and Longteng Jiuzhou.
"That's how it is at the top. The control is too strict. I'm afraid that Xia Ye was because he knelt down and licked the people above. Otherwise, how could Mr. Tan, who was responsible for the transportation, come to the province and still be in the office building of Longteng Jiuzhou? How many days did you stay?”
Du Anguo also nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that Secretary Diao, who arranged a guest house for Master Tan, was given trouble by Master Tan several times in the past few days. He didn't even stay in the hotel, and even Secretary Diao personally invited him No one pays attention."
Both of them wondered how they did it this summer night.
No matter how hard he licks, it's impossible for Tan Wenxiong to live directly in the Longteng Jiuzhou office building, right?
Jin Qiaoqiao fell into silence.
I heard that Tan Wenxiong was in the Han River this time. He didn't say a word. He held a meeting, which was also a regular transportation meeting. He didn't mention the railway at all.
But unfortunately, the direction of the entire province changed because of him.
Such a big boss actually lived in Longteng Jiuzhou for several days before.
He and Xia Ye can only be said to have an irreversible relationship.
On this summer night, it was really infuriating to meet such a person in the imperial capital.
Jin Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth.
He was very angry with Xia Ye and his group of people.
He raised his head again and looked at Edward's face, feeling relieved immediately.
With Edward and Mr. Francis taking charge, Xia Ye encountered a tough situation this time.
"I cannot accept this result." Francis sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
Great China lost so unfairly.
Even if it is due to the Xia people's partiality, they can't be so partial!
"They threw our sincerity to the ground and trampled on it. These cunning Xia people and their Xia government are equally shameless!"
Francis scolded.
Edward asked him: "Fran, what are you going to do next?"
"Huh, Longteng Jiuzhou... they want to work on the project in peace and quiet, I won't let them have a good life." Francis snorted coldly.
"Subway... As far as I know, Xia Guo has the technology. They currently have six lines in operation across the country." Edward said.
Although the subway in Xia Guo is a little behind, it is not as good as abroad in all aspects.
But when it comes to construction, it can still be completed.
Francis sneered: "They are building the subway and doing projects. They need to import materials. We can't be the master of the planning and route. Can't we also be the master of the materials?"
Edward was stunned and frowned: "Fran, what do you want to do? Start with the source of their materials?"
"Are you crazy? If we go back and find out our identities, we will definitely be arrested by the Xia Guogei Mansion for such a big thing as the subway project. This is intentional sabotage! Their Mansion will not let us go!"
When everyone heard this, they all gasped and were quite surprised.
Are there any manipulations with the materials?
When something goes wrong, retroactively...the consequences will be disastrous.
Moreover, for such a large project, will the relevant departments not supervise it? They, Longteng Jiuzhou, all live on dry food?
Can’t tell what is junk material and what is good material?
Francis sneered: "You can't do anything with the materials, but what about the equipment? They make subways, but don't they use TBMs?!"
Edward pondered.
To build a subway, it is necessary to build a shield tunnel, dig tunnels underground, and continuously excavate underground. While preventing the soft foundation excavation surface from collapsing or maintaining the stability of the excavation surface, tunnel excavation and tunneling must be carried out safely in the machine. Lining work.
In other words, subway construction is inseparable from shield boring machines.
But here's the thing.
It's only one year now.
The Empire's TBMs are not even purchased. The six existing subway lines are all paid heavily to hire foreign workers and rent TBM equipment to carry out tunneling operations.
The Empire's first TBM was only able to have independent production capabilities in 2008. Compared with Lanxi, the birthplace of the TBM, it was nearly a hundred years later!
Therefore, Edward immediately understood what Francis said.
"I will immediately contact the relevant capital of Will, Military State, and Hegemony to negotiate with them! I will not let Longteng Jiuzhou rent a shield machine!"
