Actually, Da Mi also had a guesthouse. It was built by Xing Baohua, who tricked the town into building it. It was mortgaged to Da Mi as collateral. In the end, it didn't do well and was used as Da Mi's guesthouse.

Due to its lack of sophistication, the only hotels it can offer for large-scale receptions are city hotels.

The three state-owned design institutes in China arrived first, but instead of learning about the business, they relied on personal connections and networks to build relationships.

No matter what you do in China, or even what matters you handle, personal relationships and connections always come first.

Even if you have absolutely no connection with someone, you should still try to become friends. Therefore, inviting them to dinner should be your top priority.

It was Wei Laisong again. Li Changfeng from the Eighth Bureau invited him out, accompanied by the First Branch of the Ludong Architectural Design Institute.

Although this organization doesn't start with the character "中" (zhong), it's still a very prestigious and long-established design institute.

They have a total of eight comprehensive branches, six overseas design institutes, five overseas branch offices, and six specialized technical research departments.

Their capabilities are in no way inferior to those of state-owned design institutes.

Since the stadium project had already been decided internally, the Eighth Engineering Bureau wanted to start construction as soon as possible. Instead of waiting for other design institutes to bid, they directly brought in the provincial design institute to do their own thing. Anyway, the three buildings were already there, so they let the others compete for them.

The provincial design institute took care of the work first.

Inviting Wei Laisong out for dinner was a way to discuss specific requirements. The provincial design institute was stationed in central Shandong, where they would design the project while simultaneously communicating with the client's technical team and revising the plans.

"The stadium design must be modern, the lighting must be bright enough, and it must be able to host international events. The grass on the field must be green, green all year round. Look at the provincial stadium, it's only been built a few days ago, and the grass in front of the goal is already bare. This won't do." Wei Laisong relayed Xing Baohua's requirements to the design institute.

"In autumn and winter, it causes the lawn to turn yellow and wither. I've never heard of a variety that's green all year round!" a colleague from the design institute said.

"No, but this requirement can be met through other technologies."

"What technology? I've never heard of it!"

“Hey, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but the key is that you don’t know about the advanced technology. People abroad are already using it. Underground heating systems, with heat, will the lawn still turn yellow?” Wei Laisong said.

"Keep it on all the time during autumn and winter, what a waste of heating!"

Wei Laisong turned to Li Changfeng and asked directly, "President Li, are they any good?"

"Okay, okay, absolutely okay. I'll take them to developed countries to watch some games and get a feel for the situation. Give me two weeks, and I'll start designing when I get back," Li Changfeng reassured Wei Laisong anxiously.

“Let me tell you, in my boss’s words, we have money. If one boiler room isn’t enough, we can build three. Back when rice production was short of electricity, the city and province provided aid, but it still wasn’t enough. So they built three power plants to supply their own electricity. It’s just three boiler rooms, it’s not like we can’t afford to build them.”
