Wang Peng followed Zheng Dashan upstairs and met the four elevator designers on the fifth floor.
"Hey boss, how are you?" Dai Lefu hugged Wang Peng and laughed heartily.
"Dear Engineer Dai, it's a pleasure to see you." Wang Peng hugged him and patted him on the back.
“Boss, I only gave him the business card of one of the company’s sales representatives, I didn’t do anything else,” Dai Lefu said seriously.
"Thank you, my friend." Wang Peng pointed to the house. "What's the progress of your work?"
When the topic turned to work, Dai Lefu immediately started talking, taking the blueprints from his assistant and beginning to describe the elevator he designed.
He separated the elevator and stairs, placing them in the middle of each floor. He built a five-story elevator from the first to the fifth floor out of thin air.
Through Dai Lefu's explanation, Wang Peng discovered that this was a huge project, and everything, including steel, had to be imported from England.
“Mr. Dai, you can buy the materials locally, which will save me money,” Wang Peng said.
"Boss, I also want to save on your budget, but my colleagues looked at the provincial capital market and couldn't find any usable materials."
Dai Lefu emphasized, "This is the first project our company has undertaken at Dahua, and we must ensure the quality."
Wang Peng thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I only have one request: you must guarantee 100% safety, understand?"
“Understood!” Dalefu patted his chest. “My dear sir, I guarantee with the honor of my family that this elevator will not collapse for a hundred years after it is built.”
“Okay! I hope your company keeps its word. Mr. Dai, you can give me a quote now,” Wang Peng replied.
“No need,” Dai Lefu waved his hand and said with a smile, “Ms. Li Mengjiao of the James Bond Group will cover all the expenses.”
“I’ll give you the money, she doesn’t need to pay.” Wang Peng frowned.
“Sorry, you’ll have to tell my boss that I’m only responsible for providing design drawings and quotes to him,” Dai Lefu said, spreading his hands.
Since the other party had already said so much, Wang Peng couldn't say anything more, so he simply shook his hand.
He said, "Mr. Dai, will the work be finished today?"
Dai Lefu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I can send the design to my boss tonight."
"I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at Xinglan Hotel." Wang Peng patted his shoulder and turned to walk downstairs.
The president's office at Huihuang Supermarket Store No. 5.
Zhao Laixi stared intently at Wang Cheng and asked in a deep voice, "What did the British Elevator Company say?"
Wang Cheng shook his head: "They asked us to pay a deposit of 10,000 pounds first, and then they would send an engineer to conduct an on-site survey."
"What nonsense!" Zhao Laixi sneered. "These foreigners are discriminating against us, aren't they? Why don't they ask Wang Peng for his deposit back?"
Wang Cheng gave a wry smile. Because he had a mistress named Li Mengjiao, the British Elevator Company trusted Li Mengjiao's reputation.
Zhao Laixi said in a deep voice, "Is this the only elevator manufacturer in England? Have you contacted any other elevator manufacturers?"
“I’ve already contacted eight companies,” Wang Cheng shook his head, then continued, “They all require a deposit of at least £10,000. The offer from the UK is the most recent one.”
"Damn it, a bunch of treacherous and cunning fake foreign devils!" Zhao Laixi slammed his fist on the table.
Wang Cheng smiled slightly and lit a cigarette. He knew Zhao Laixi would definitely compromise, because the elevator really could retain many customers.
Zhao Laixi also lit a cigarette. Soon, the office was filled with smoke.
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Chairman, most foreigners have a sense of contract, especially companies. As long as we pay the deposit, they shouldn't try to scam us..."
"Nonsense, foreigners are people too, I don't trust them," Zhao Laixi sneered.
Wang Cheng stopped talking and continued smoking. This Zhao Laixi made his fortune through fraud.
He was originally a grain merchant who traded peanuts in the countryside. He then collected peanuts from the villagers on credit, and the whole village gave him peanuts on credit.
Then he sold the peanuts, took the money and ran to the provincial capital, where he partnered with Hu Qing's father to open a supermarket, eventually becoming Huihuang's major shareholder and chairman.
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Chairman, since we don't trust them, let's give up."
Zhao Laixi shook his head, his face grim. He knew that an elevator was more than just an elevator; it was a symbol of status and prestige.
If Brothers Supermarket has an elevator while Brilliant Supermarket doesn't, people will say that Brilliant Supermarket is of a lower class while Brothers Supermarket is of a higher class.
Once this claim gets out, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the company.
Zhao Laixi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Contact the British Elevator Company and give them a deposit of ten thousand pounds. Xiao Wang, you go and handle this personally."
Wang Cheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that Zhao Laixi's young wife was traveling in England, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it."
The next day at noon, Wang Cheng bought a plane ticket to England and boarded the plane.
At Xinglan Hotel, Wang Peng was hosting a banquet for four foreign company representatives, including Dai Lefu, when he suddenly received a call from Li Mengjiao.
He told Du Lei and Hu Mingyue to continue entertaining the guests. He returned to his private room on the fifth floor and called Li Mengjiao back.
"Brother, I've received word that Wang Cheng has boarded a plane, his destination is the British Elevator Company," Li Mengjiao said.
Wang Peng was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "This doesn't make sense, does it? Given Wang Cheng's character, how could he possibly abandon his base of operations to go to England to discuss business?"
"Hehe." Li Mengjiao chuckled, "Because his little lover, Zhao Laixi's little wife, is currently traveling in England."
"Oh? Haha..." Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Mengjiao, you must have a good idea, am I right?"
Li Mengjiao laughed on the phone and continued, "Those two will definitely be secretly dating. I plan to send a private investigator to take some interesting photos of you."
"I knew it would be like this, hehe." Wang Peng laughed again.
Wang Cheng and Mrs. Zhao always met secretly in China, leaving virtually no trace, so there was no chance to take photos.
However, once they're abroad, they really let loose and have fun.
Wang Peng shook his head and said, "Although it's a good idea, Wang Cheng is still very cunning. He knows you're in England, so he'll definitely choose this as the meeting place."
"Hmph!" Li Mengjiao sneered, "Brother, don't worry, whether it's Scotland or Wales, as long as they're still on the island of Great Britain, I can catch them."
Wang Peng said, "I believe in your abilities. Mengjiao, thank you."
“We’ve been married for so long, don’t be so polite with me,” Li Mengjiao said. “Brother, I just want you to eat up Brilliance as soon as possible and come here to reunite with us.”
"Mengjiao, don't worry, I've been waiting for this day too," Wang Peng said. "Have you had any prenatal checkups recently? Is the baby doing well?"
“Everything is normal. Brother, you must come and be with me when I give birth,” Li Mengjiao said.
