Chapter 274: The Country of Fairy Tales, Qiusi
Qiusi was located on the contiguous plate of the Eurasian continent. It was a small country, but due to its rich minerals and advanced industrial technology, this small country was ranked fourth among the richest countries in the world.
However, if one thought that Qiusi was a boring industrial country, one would be gravely mistaken!
Qiusi had a history of thousands of years. Even now, in the technological era of civilization, it continues its monarchy. The Qiusi royal family was the pillar of the entire country. The king controlled the entire country’s lifeline alone and had the only remaining crown prince in the world.
Under the strong industrial system, the entire country of Qiusi was as beautiful and dreamlike as a fairyland in Grimm’s Fairy Tales. It was a famous tourist destination. However, the laws in Qiusi were strict. To protect the country’s ecology, they would only accept foreign tourists in June and December every year, and they would limit the number of people entering the country.
Jian Ai learned this information later on through books and the Internet. Because the entry requirements for Qiusi were very harsh, Jian Ai once wanted to go and worship it due to its reputation, but she was rejected directly. The reason was that the number of tourists in Qiusi had reached the upper limit.
Helpless, she could only think of going there again in the future. In the end, she was unexpectedly reborn not long after.
“Colored steel glass is too expensive. If the entire hotel uses colored steel glass, just this investment alone will exceed the entire project’s budget.”
When Wang Hui, the operations director of the development department, heard what Bai Zhou said, she immediately frowned and objected.
The rest of the people nodded when they heard that. Colored steel glass was expensive. If they were to transport them to China from Qiusi, they would need to use the sea transportation route. After entering China, they would have to use the land transportation route to reach Baiyun City.
If the entire building was made of colored steel glass, the quantity would be a shocking amount. The customs fee alone would be astronomical.
Jian Ai was also thinking. If the hotel used colored steel glass entirely, the completed building would be spectacular. However, the reality was right in front of her. This glass was too expensive, and she couldn’t afford to use it now.
If she only used a few pieces of colored steel glass as decorations, it would look incongruous, like neon lights.
Therefore, if she wanted to use this glass, she would have to use it entirely. Otherwise, she wouldn’t use a single piece.
“There’s no need to worry about the colored steel glass,” Bai Zhou suddenly said.
The conference room instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Bai Zhou, and they saw that his expression was calm. He said softly, “I have a way to buy colored steel glass at thirty percent of the market price!”
“Thirty percent?”
When everyone heard that, they were shocked!
Wasn’t that the cost price? Who would sell the colored steel glass they had painstakingly built without earning a single cent?
However, the crowd were unable to doubt Bai Zhou. After all, everyone present had followed Bai Zhou for many years.
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows. She knew that Bai Zhou was not a boastful person. As long as he said he could do it, he would do it.
However, Jian Ai was also somewhat curious. How wide were Bai Zhou’s connections? He even had relations with Qiusi?
Jian Ai could completely accept it if the price was at thirty percent.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Jian Ai was very satisfied with Tom Wright’s design. The first six-star hotel in M Group was shaped like the letter M. It was reasonable and unexpected. This was the result Jian Ai wanted.
It was unique and advanced.
After the meeting had ended, Jian Ai didn’t leave but went to Bai Zhou’s office.
