Chapter 1002 The Person Behind the Scenes

"Has Su Qing been out these days?"

"She has been out." Wen Zishan said, "According to your instructions, we did not restrict her from going out, but we limited the number and time."

"several times?"

"three times."

"Are there any records of the previous route and the places she visited and stopped?" Luo Yao asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, there are detailed records every time, but I have also studied these, and there is nothing special." Wen Zishan said, "Especially since she has been to several repeated places to buy ingredients and Chinese herbal medicines. .”

"Didn't she pick out fresh ingredients?"

"Yes, we must go to the vegetable market every day. I will send someone to accompany her. Moreover, the vegetable market she goes to is equipped with spies from our inspection office and inspection team. The details of several stalls she often goes to have been leaked by us. A bottom fell out.”

"Have you ever checked the store where she bought ingredients and medicinal materials in Ba County?" Luo Yao asked after a slight pause.

"It doesn't seem to be the case." Wen Zishan was stunned. It was indeed not the case.

"check."

"OK."

"Investigate secretly, don't alert the snake..." Luo Yao ordered, "In addition, continue to relax the monitoring of Su Qing, we can help her find a shop in the mountain city, let her resume her old business, open a nourishing soup restaurant, and let the mute go. Come out and arrange for our people to work as waiters in the soup restaurant."

"Brother, do you really have a crush on this widow?"

"Looking for a fight, if Gong Hui hears this, I will come to the door with a gun and beat you up." Luo Yao said.

"Hehe, Sister Hui is injured now, don't be afraid!"

"You can try."

Wen Zishan's head shrank in fear. Gong Hui was very good at fighting. Although he was known as the Three Heroes of Linxun, Luo Yao was the most powerful among the three.

"Let's just misunderstand the misunderstanding. Whether it is spread by intentional people or made by outsiders, it is not the first time." Luo Yao said.

"You really don't care?"

"If you don't want to let go of the child, you can't trap the wolf." Luo Yao chuckled, "If I can catch Qi Bin, my reputation will mean nothing. Time will tell everything."

"Where's Sister Hui?"

"Do you think Gong Hui is as superficial as you?" Luo Yao rolled his eyes at Wen Zishan, "She won't believe such rumors."

"That's, that's..."

"Go ahead and be patient when doing things." Luo Yao reminded.

…

A few days passed in a flash. Apart from reports of sporadic fighting in the world, there were not many fightings in the country.

The Battle of Southern Henan has ended. The Japanese army failed to achieve the set combat objectives and suffered heavy losses. The commander of the Eleventh Army, Sonobe Kazuichiro, was reprimanded by the dispatched army headquarters.

Ordinary people don't know these inside information.

People are most concerned about things around them. For example, the newly emerged Twilight Company spent huge sums of money to buy several street-facing stores with excellent geographical locations in the NA area!

In the past, Twilight Company basically purchased properties in the Yuzhong Peninsula, that is, in urban areas, with only a few scattered factories in the NA area.

This sudden move to the NA area is indeed a bit surprising.

Subsequently, Twilight Company held a press conference and announced that it would demolish and raze all the purchased stores, and then build a new Twilight Company headquarters on top, with a total investment of five million.

The new Twilight Company headquarters building has eight floors above ground and one underground level. The three above-ground floors are available for rent, but the second floor will be occupied by the newly established Twilight Department Store. Naturally, there will also be coffee and restaurants owned by Twilight Company on the first floor... …

The third floor can be used as office area and warehouse, with a total construction area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters.

Such a large-scale project can be said to be a rare construction project in the mountain city since the Anti-Japanese War. Once announced, it immediately attracted the attention of the major architectural design companies and even the mountain city planning and design department.

There is a lot of oil and water in such a big project, and everyone wants to take a bite. However, this oil and water is not something that anyone can take a bite of.

Because the boss of Twilight Company is not an ordinary person. On the surface, the chairman of Twilight Company is a woman named Shen Jinxin (Xing). However, she has an identity. She is a military training expert and the wife of Yu Jie.

She also has a younger brother, Shen Yu, who is the deputy director of the Inspection Division of the Shancheng Garrison Headquarters.

This background is already quite tough. If you dare to provoke someone, including walking around in a mountain city, you will be arrested and thrown into the jail of the Inspection Office in a matter of minutes.

The boss behind Twilight Company also has a good background. There are rumors that Boss Dai from the Military Command Bureau has a stake in it.

Of course, this is just a rumor. In fact, Twilight Company has no shares in Dai Yunong at all.

That was a company founded by Luo Yao in the name of the Temporary Training Class Alumni Association. No matter how greedy Dai Yunong was, he would be too embarrassed to rob his students' property.

Luo Yao, the deputy director of the military technical department, although his position is not high and his power is not obvious, no one who knows some inside information dares to look down upon him.

That was someone who even Minister Kong dared to threaten.

The son-in-law approved by Minister Kong was so forced by him in the mountain city that he couldn't stand it anymore and ran away to Dian City.

The most important thing is, the old man likes it.

Luo Yao has made great achievements in several battles. The old man naturally likes such young people who take credit but are not arrogant, are low-key and have an overall view.

Moreover, even Zhongtong has suffered heavy losses under his men, so he has no shortage of means and connections.

Twilight Company actually wants to invite external bids for the design of the new headquarters building. The bidding is divided into two parts. In one part, Twilight Company issues an invitation to select the top ten architectural design companies and sends invitations to them. Each company will be given a basic fee of 10,000 yuan. .

This ten thousand yuan is not for nothing. You must come up with a design plan. Even if you are not selected in the end, you can still get this ten thousand yuan, and the copyright of the design plan will eventually belong to Twilight Company. If Twilight Company uses it, it will be used again. Pay appropriate fees.

The final contract price of the selected design plan is 100,000 yuan.

As soon as the selected plan was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the mountain city. Ten architectural design companies came up with ten design plans.

Even if you are not selected in the end, you still have an income of 10,000 yuan. If you can be selected, it will be even more awesome, 100,000 yuan.

Also, if none of the top ten architectural design companies selected by Twilight Company are selected, there is another way.

That is open selection.

As long as a design company or individual is willing, they can submit a design plan to Twilight Company. Once selected, they will receive a minimum subsidy of not less than one thousand yuan.

No matter whether it is one of the top ten architectural design companies or an individual submitting a plan, once it is selected by Twilight Company.

Each can receive a reward of 100,000 yuan.

Such a unique method immediately caused quite a stir in the mountain city. Many well-known architectural design companies took action one after another, looking for people and connections, all hoping that their company would be selected into the top ten.

I came here hoping to get some inside information. After all, what are Twilight Company’s requirements for the new headquarters building? If I could get a head start and tailor it, I would be able to seize the opportunity.

There are also some people who have gone astray and started to inquire about Sister Xing's preferences. After all, the chairman's favorite style will have a certain subjective advantage in the final selection.

Twilight became famous all of a sudden.

The advantage of becoming famous is that the factories and industries under your name receive attention, and the performance begins to soar rapidly.

This is a long-term benefit, and it is much more than the small amount of money spent on soliciting the headquarters design plan this time, several times or even more than ten times, and the impact is far-reaching.

The first person to eat the grapes is naturally the first to taste the sweetness. Although the following ones are also OK, they are not as effective as the first one.

This popularity is continuous. After all, it doesn’t just start and end, there are still a series of things to come.

By the way, the business of Twilight Cafe was much better than usual, with at least 30% more customers.

After these customers try it, at least 20% of them will become repeat customers, which is scary.

The reputation of the cafe has naturally increased. It is the first time for many people to know that there is such a cafe under the name of Twilight Company. The quality of the coffee is quite good, compared to the coffee sold in the South Bank Embassy District cafe. Not bad at all, just a little off.

Moreover, Twilight Cafe is opened by Chinese people. Compared with those foreign cafes, some improvements have been made in both the interior decoration and the taste of coffee, making it more suitable for Chinese aesthetics and tastes.

The development of Twilight Company suddenly entered the fast lane. It became famous and had people behind it. Most of Twilight Company had high-quality assets, so it would be much easier to negotiate loans with banks.

Although he is also plundering the country's wool, if Luo Yao doesn't plunder, he will also take advantage of those people. This is not what the Kong family and the Song family do. It is better to plunder a handful for yourself and use the money for Twilight Company. Anyway, He will not put the money in his own pocket, nor will he transfer the money abroad. In the end, it will stay on Chinese soil.

This way he won't have any psychological burden.

Soon, Twilight Company announced the top ten selected architectural design companies, and Madill Company was among them.

Of course, although it is somewhat famous, its strength and foundation are still inferior, so its ranking is not very high, ranking ninth.

Madil, the owner of Madil Company, is a Swiss who has lived in the mountain city for many years. He can speak the local dialect fluently. He is also familiar with China. He likes to travel, especially ancient Chinese buildings. He himself studied architectural design. , just started this architectural design company.

He is relatively well-known in the mountain city design community, but his architectural design company is not very large and lacks experience in the design of large-scale high-rise buildings. It can only have five floors at most, with a construction area of ​​1,000 to 2,000 square meters, and more than 5,000 square meters. The building area and building height are still eight stories, which is basically the first time.

Of course, there are not many companies with such experience in architectural design in mountain cities. After all, there are very few such buildings in mountain cities.

However, some companies still have relevant talent reserves. Many of them moved from Jinghai after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. In Jinghai, there are more than 5,000 square meters and there are too many buildings with a height of more than eight floors. Therefore, naturally some of them have such talents. experience and experiences.

Madil Company did not originally have such capabilities, and even the boss Madil himself was not sure that he could design such a building.

But the company has a new designer, Linda, who came back from Paris, France, and is also a female designer.

Coincidentally, the chairman of Twilight Company is also a woman.

Isn't this a match made in heaven?

Therefore, when Madil submitted his application, he specifically recommended Linda as the company's chief designer.

This may be one of the reasons why Madill was selected.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
