Chapter 531 What is IBM planning to do?

After watching the game, Lewells set a return date, saying he would stay one more day before heading back.

As soon as everyone returned to the hotel, the hotel manager on duty told Xing Baohua that he had guests visiting.

Xing Baohua politely invited Lewells to go back and rest, and to meet the guest who had come to visit.

The group consisted of two women and one man, whom I did not recognize.

Jin Xin, who was standing next to him, said, "People from Shanghai have arrived. The man's name is Min Jianli. He is the deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Government Office, a deputy director-general level official!"

The other two weren't introduced, so I guess they don't know them.

Xing Baohua extended her hand with a smile and said, "Director Min didn't even give me a heads-up before coming. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Looking at the middle-aged man in his forties, he said warmly, "I'm sorry! I came in a hurry this time, and I've taken up Mr. Xing's time."

"Have you arranged accommodations yet? If not, I'll have someone arrange some for you."

"No need to trouble you, Mr. Xing, everything has already been settled."

"Yes, the Shanghai authorities will contact him. You should advise him to get involved in the design part first. We've already divided up the project, which will surely anger the local powers. If we secretly sabotage him, even if he has little influence, it will still cause trouble."

That person was Xing Baohua, a former employee of the photolithography institute, and one of the earliest photolithography engineers.

Even if you don't know whether it's a Level 1 or Level 7 construction engineer exam, you still need to spread the word early and use your connections to get the job.

So, with layers of subcontracting and layers of advance payment, the hardest hit were the big contractors and the workers under my command.

After making the call and waiting for the reply, Jin Xin asked Liu Yan, "Didn't they say which design institute we're looking for?"

In a large office on the ground floor, Levi asked, "Who among them hasn't studied superconductors?"

"Where is the tentative location?" Jin Xin followed him out of the room and sat down on the sofa as if he knew the place well.

As soon as Levi finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Eighty hectares, which is equivalent to eight thousand acres of land!

At this moment, Liu Yan interjected, "China Construction is contracted to handle the main construction project. As for the roads, your China Merchants Group just established a low-speed construction company, and you've taken on that project as well."

Director Min gave Section Chief Di of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau a wink, and the capable section chief slowly took out a map of Shanghai from your briefcase and placed it under the coffee table.

After exiting the elevator, Levi and Director Min walked side by side toward my private room.

Upon hearing that, Director Min paused for a moment, then his mind raced, and he understood why Levi had asked that question.

What is Lucy?

The question posed by the unexpected person left everyone stunned: What is superconductivity?

“Neither you nor Professor Li have done research on this. Professor Li is here today. You are currently focusing on graphene. There’s no bad news yet, is there? You have very little hope for the Nobel Prize this December,” one of the technical supervisors said, raising his hand.

Xu Cuichao offered one of her cigarettes to Director Min, and after the two men accepted it, she put it away with a smile and said, "Sorry, my smoking habit has decreased a bit lately."

Director Min looked at Jiangdong, which Levi was pointing to, with a solemn expression. He then said, "Pen."

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is Wang Jing, the head of the Confidential Affairs Section, and this is Gao Hongmei, the head of the First Business Section of the Investment Promotion Bureau."

Section Chief Di quickly took a pen from his bag and handed it to Director Min.

“What’s the problem with having too few requirements? It’s not about using less land or less electricity,” Levi said.

The key is that the messenger reported to that person, and the Shanghai Municipal Government needs to send someone over!

"Jiangdong".

"There's something to it too. It's not just about where the factory is located or how much land it needs to occupy."

He continued, "You only heard about this today? Our country has also successfully developed superconductors. Currently, no more than eight countries have mastered that technology. That's quite remarkable."

"Hahaha!" Xu Cuichao followed the other person's gaze and glanced at Liu Yan, immediately understanding what the Shanghai authorities meant by "hearsay".

Sister Wang, who was in charge of confidential matters, said, "He invested only 10 billion, which is so little, but the annual output is only a little over 100 million. Is the data below a prediction of an annual output value of around 1 trillion? You're not clear-headed about his calculation method."

Levi shook his head slightly, pointed at Jiang Dong, and asked, "What's the situation over there?"

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, Director Min. No one has made any advance arrangements to become the general contractor. We will discuss this with them later. For now, we are only involved in the project,” Levi said.

"Thank you for reminding me," Liu Yan said as she opened the door.

It's said that staying close to men is a matter of politeness, but back then there weren't so many rules. Offering cigarettes was a matter of etiquette in social interactions.

“Okay, let’s go upstairs and talk,” Xing Baohua said, pointing to the elevator entrance. He then looked at the two women and asked, “And who are these two…?”

“This is near the commercial district; we’ve allocated you eighty hectares of land. And not yet, we’ve also allocated some land near the river for you to build a large residential area,” Levi said.

The first to be returned domestically was the 286, so it didn't have much impact; you could only use products two generations ahead. And those were still a little over $100 each, and they were even manufactured in Japan.

Director Min nodded, as if to say something. What could I say? The project had barely started when all the work was taken up by those people. We don't have any companies or organizations outside the city to take care of.

That person's level is only half a level higher than Wei Laisong's. Don't underestimate that half level; it's like being at the same level but different. As for energy, Wei Laisong is only slightly inferior.

If you want to get more work, you'll have to find a general contractor; before, it was all subcontracted. That was because if you didn't have much money, the smaller contractors would share it, and if you had a lot of money, the general contractor would also make a profit.

After checking out of the private room, Levi invited the other person to sit down and asked Liu Yan to pour some tea. I went to my desk and took out a pack of cigarettes.
