Chapter 505: Vision and Pattern, Her Kingdom (Part 3)
Xiaoliu can understand building houses, bridges and roads, but rail... high-speed rail...
These things involve urban construction and are related to the economy of a place. They have long been monopolized by the upper levels and are not something that ordinary companies can covet.
Jiang Fuyue: "The construction authority lies with the government. We can't touch it. Of course, I didn't ask you to do it. But the government can't do everything. For example, can we let their own people do trivial work like mixing cement, tying steel bars, and tightening screws?"
Xiaoliu shook his head, this is not realistic.
"Open bidding for large-scale projects has become a standard practice. This outsourcing includes low-level, no-barrier projects like cement, while others are more sophisticated, detailed, and require stringent technical skills. While the former can be accomplished exceptionally well by ordinary engineering teams, the latter requires the contracting company to possess certain qualifications."
"If it's just the former, you might as well stay at Queen. At least it's better than being a foreman."
Jiang Fuyue's words might not be without the intention of provoking him.
Xiaoliu didn't rush to agree, but thought for a moment before answering, "...I naturally hope to achieve the latter, but it's not something I can accomplish alone."
Jiang Fuyue smiled. If Xiaoliu agreed immediately, she would really be worried. It was good that he thought twice before acting.
There was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
"Uncle Liu can handle the money issue, but how to spend the money, who to spend it on, and what kind of connections you can gain from it all depends on your ability."
Xiaoliu's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I know!"
As soon as Jiang Fuyue and his group left, Hu Ben called them immediately.
As soon as Xiaoliu called out "Brother", he was immediately attacked -
"Are you out of your mind? You don't want to work in a bar, you don't want to wear a suit, and you want to get involved in architecture?"
Xiaoliu coughed lightly and touched his nose: "You already know everything..."
How could Hu Ben not know?
Just now, Liu Jinzhong called him to inform him to take over all matters on Queen's side as soon as possible. Hu Ben was stunned at that time.
The first reaction was that I failed the Grade 6 test.
But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be like that.
Xiaoliu had clearly told him that business was good and there would be no problem meeting the targets.
After further questioning, I found out that this guy actually wanted to start a construction company. He is crazy!
"Isn't this good?" Compared to Hu Ben's rage, Xiao Liu was relatively calm, and there was even a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Bullshit! I've already told you. It's just a new company, nothing's going on. You're leaving your life to starve?"
"Brother, you think too much. Sister Yue will not treat me unfairly."
"That's not as good as running the bar. Aren't we two brothers having a great time lately? Don't go messing around just because Sister Yue said a few words. You'll be in trouble then!"
To put it nicely, it’s called a construction company, to put it bluntly, it’s just a construction site!
Not only do they have to be exposed to the wind and sun, but they also have to hang out with a bunch of rough men, doing hard labor and getting paid through hard-earned money.
"No, I'm going to call Sister Yue right now and tell her you regret it and ask her to return Queen to you."
"Brother, it's useless. We've already agreed."
Hu Ben was furious: "Then I'll just hold off and see what they do!"
"Don't..." Xiao Liu was helpless, but also a little touched. "Believe it or not, as soon as you say you don't want to take over, someone else will immediately take over?"
Tiger runs in silence.
He knew very well that no matter what he did, he could not threaten Jiang Fuyue.
Xiao Liu sighed, "I believe you've noticed over time that Sister Yue's influence extends far beyond just these two bars, and she has countless people working for her. We're not strangers to each other, and she's quite trusting of us, willing to hand King and Queen over to us. But to be frank, this is all a form of training and testing in disguise."
Hu Ben didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.
Xiao Liu knew he had listened, so he continued, "If we fail this test, we'll be abandoned. Of course, Sister Yue is kind enough to arrange a suitable place for us. There's no doubt about that. As long as we work hard, we won't have to worry about food and clothing. This will be worth our acquaintance with her."
"But brother, are you willing to accept this? After experiencing prosperity, you return to mediocrity and spend the rest of your life in such a muddle?"
Hu Ben was certainly unwilling to give up. From his suddenly stagnant breathing, it could be seen that he was not calm at the moment.
Xiaoliu felt a little relieved, knowing that he would not impulsively look for Jiang Fuyue again, and his tone softened a little.
But those words were not light at all.
He said, "We are two uncompetitive pieces on Sister Yue's chessboard. We are not as smart as Jiang Ke, nor as clever as Uncle Liu. Even Liu Sisi is more useful than us."
He also said: "If we want to be seen by the chess players, our position on the chessboard cannot remain static."
Finally, he said, "I'll leave these two bars to you. You'll guard them for me first. They'll be our territory in the future! I need to move now to explore new territory. The pawns that cross the river can be used as chariots at a critical moment."
Hu Ben: "What about me? Don't I need to move?"
Xiaoliu: "Don't worry, let's take it slow and steady. Sister Yue's empire will definitely have a share for us brothers in the future."
Everyone knows that Jiang Fuyue's ambitions will not be limited to this.
If she wanted to charge, they would just have to charge harder and get ahead of her...
Three updates, two thousand words.
