Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy - v2 Chapter 188

A wedding greatly touched Xia Xiaolan.

After the wedding, she did not return to Qiong Island immediately, but stayed in Pengcheng instead.

Compared with other businesses under her name, Xia Xiaolan pays the least attention to Qihang Architects.

The establishment of the firm initially relied on her funds. Later, through her fame, now she is not all dependent on her!

By November this year, the total staff of Qihang Office was approaching 100 people.

Frank became a partner of the firm. The two senior architects Kong Yongquan and Hou Qi, who were the first to join the firm, also became partners. Everyone’s income and performance were linked, and the firm’s management became self-sufficient. If Xia Xiaolan invests money in it, she can still make some money.

Cough, I blushed a little bit, to Qihang Office, Xia Xiaolan is completely stocking.

Xia Xiaolan came to the firm today and happened to meet Frank and Hou Qi who were arguing about what they were both veterans of the firm and both partners. Although Hou Qi joined Qihang before Frank, Frank also expanded his business for Qihang. The two heroes, the two of them were of equal status, and they would not give in to each other when arguing, but the honest man Kong Yongquan could only persuade him.

Of course, neither of them paid attention to him.

Kong Yongquan saw Xia Xiaolan first, and Xia Xiaolan made a booing motion to keep Kong Yongquan silent. She wanted to hear the reason for Frank and Hou Qi’s dispute.

The two are not complaining personally, but for official business.

It turned out that Frank had set his sights on the Jiangcheng International Airport project. This project was approved by the state in 1985. A new international airport was to be built in Jiangcheng, but so far, there is still no conclusion on who will design the airport.

Many design units wanted to win, but they got stuck when they wrestled with each other.

Frank did not know where he got the news, saying that the Jiangcheng International Airport project must be launched next year, and the design plan is still pending. It is a good opportunity for Qihang Office:

“The world’s leading architect firms have experience in designing large-scale infrastructure projects. We should stop other projects in our hands and concentrate on winning the airport project!”

Frank is right. Take the GMP that Xia Xiaolan is most familiar with, the founder of the West Berlin Tegel Airport project gained fame.

Xia Xiaolan couldn’t help but nodded secretly. Frank was really attentive. Jiangcheng was going to build an international airport. Even Xia Xiaolan didn’t pay attention to the news. Although the country approved the project in 1985, her thoughts were not in Qihang Office in the past two years!

The earliest international airport in Jiangcheng is Tianhe International Airport.

Xia Xiaolan has been on business trips several times in her life.

Tianhe Airport is one of the eight major regional hub airports in China. It is a national first-class civil airport. Xia Xiaolan doesn’t know exactly when it was put into use. After graduating from university, it was only a small sales at the beginning. Qualified to be a trapeze, it was around 2005.

If it is Tianhe International Airport, Xia Xiaolan is indeed very excited.

But Hou Qi also has her own analysis:

“China’s national conditions are different. Large-scale infrastructure projects such as airports will not be handed over to privately-owned architect firms. Jiangcheng Design Institute can’t win this project. As well as the Hubei Provincial Design Institute above, our chances of winning are almost zero. It’s irrational to mobilize the resources of the entire firm to compete for this project!”

Hou Qi felt that Frank, a foreigner, was just stumbling.

Qihang Office has been able to develop so well and can recruit many architects. In addition to the high salary and strong salary, the main reason is that it has not touched the interests of those design institutes.

Before setting sail, there were no architect firms in Huaguo. All domestic architectural designs were taken over by major design institutes. For students studying architectural design, the best allocation after graduation was to local design institutes and state-owned construction companies.

For the cost of architectural design, domestic fees are not charged as a percentage of the total cost, unlike foreign countries.

When encountering a large-scale infrastructure project such as an airport, the cost is in units of “100 million”, and the design institute does not charge according to the percentage of the total cost, so the design fee will not be less… A Jiangcheng International Airport can allow the design institute to go up and down. It’s been a good time, why should the design institute give up this kind of project!

Hou Qi feels that it is not a good time to fight hard with domestic design institutes. She is not used to being too high-profile. She is taking the road of “building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king”. She wants to wait for her foundation to be more solid. Then grab infrastructure projects with major design institutes.

Frank, a foreigner, doesn’t care about keeping a low profile, he must fight if he is capable—

Different countries, different cultures, and different handling methods can hardly say who is right and who is wrong, but it is obviously that Frank’s approach is more in line with Xia Xiaolan’s character.

“Sister Hou, why can’t we fight?”

The two people in the dispute finally saw Xia Xiaolan. Hou Qi called Mr. Xia, and Xia Xiaolan nodded: “Sister Hou, I know all your concerns. I personally agree to bid for Jiangcheng International Airport. If it fails, everyone is wasting less time. Some income… even if the bid fails, this experience is valuable!”

Frank applauded, Hou Qi was not ready to refute Xia Xiaolan in public, but she still had doubts when she looked at her expression.

“I want to bid for this project with everyone.”

Mr. Xia wants to join?

Hou Qi’s hesitation disappeared in an instant!

Although I don’t know how Mr. Xia was willing to leave Qiongdao there, when Mr. Xia remembered her identity as an architect, this identity was still very valuable—not that she was invincible in all directions, but “️️Xia Xiaolan”. This word is more famous in China than Hou Qi and others!

If Xia Xiaolan personally participates in the design, or even takes the lead in the design, Qihang Office will strive for the Jiangcheng International Airport project to be quite competitive… even if Xia Xiaolan has never done a similar project.

Where does this blind trust come from?

Hou Qi can’t explain clearly!

…

Qihang Architects will participate in the bid for the design of Jiangcheng International Airport!

This news surprised Mao Kangshan, let alone other people.

Although Xia Xiaolan won the “AIA Supernova Architect” award, she is considered the leading architect of the young generation in China, but she has to bid for Jiangcheng International Airport. Xia Xiaolan is really too ridiculous!

At the same time, the office buildings developed by Qihang are selling well in Qiongdao, and the money from the peers is really good. Now there are thousands of “real estate companies” in Qiongdao. Fried uncompleted flats over there!

These companies need office space even if they only have one or two employees. The office buildings built by the sail are impressive enough. Some people buy it for their own office, and more people want to buy it to wait for the appreciation. These people are really all-seeing!

Sheng Xuan who saw it was extremely jealous, and wanted Zhu Suizhou to also develop the land under the name “Yangfan Real Estate”. Yangfan Real Estate has spent two years hoarding thousands of acres of land. At the current average price of 400,000 acres, it is worth 400 million!

400 million!

What a huge number. Although they are using the bank to mortgage the land and repeated loan turnover, if Zhu Suizhou now sells all the land under the name of “Yangfan Real Estate”, he has already made a profit of tens of millions in less than two years—

If you hoard so much money, why bother to develop?

“Axuan, I am not the same as Xia Xiaolan. She is also scrambling for the land, so she has to put a fig leaf on her face. If she wants profit and doesn’t give up her fame, she will be tied up. The shareholder wind has made us and my wife inexhaustible wealth, I can do what I like in the future, no longer need to be constrained by others…”
