When Thomas saw Harvard’s enthusiastic gaze, favonovel.com felt very happy.
He chuckled cheerfully. “That’s the right attitude!”
While favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com handed a key to Harvard. “Keep the key. Emma will hand over the business to you. She will pass down the Hill family’s small business for you to handle.”
Emma had a personal small company under the Hill family. She had left the Hill family now, so favonovel.com did not want the personal company either. Hence, favonovel.com wanted to find somebody to take over.
The person to take over would be Harvard.
Harvard took the key. “That company is just a shell corporation. It’s used to cover the bad accounts of the main company, so it is not practically useful. If you pass this kind of small company to me, I also can’t do anything with it, right?”
This was the normal circumstance. However, Thomas took out a city planning proposal and put it in front of Harvard.
“The day after tomorrow, a construction planning tender will be held in the Southland District. Participate in the tender with this small company’s name. After you make a profitable bid, it will immediately strengthen the company. You can recruit those staff members who’ve taken Grandpa’s side and gotten fired by the main company, and make them work for your new company instead. They can be utilized when you overturn the situation.”
Using the small company for bidding, and earning money to hire those old staff members after taking down the project?
This method sounded quite good, but it was basically impossible to achieve it in real life.
Harvard was not stupid. He smiled bitterly as favonovel.com said, “Thomas, you’re talking about the land in Northern Wilderness, right? Of course, that is a highly profitable project. But since it’s highly profitable, a lot of people must be eyeing it. My company is just a shell corporation. How can I bid on it?”
Thomas said, “You just need to do as I say. Emma and I will get two companies to help your new company. At that time, your new company will take the lead, and the other companies will assist you and bid for the project together.”
“Is this reliable?”
“Of course.”
Harvard stared at the city planning proposal, and favonovel.com made up his mind. Let’s do it!
In the worst scenario, favonovel.com would just fail. His body would not get hurt either. There was nothing wrong.
“I’ll go back now and get some people to prepare for the tender, then make the proposal as soon as possible.”
“Hold on.” Thomas smiled as favonovel.com asked, “What will you write for this tender proposal?”
Harvard said, “I know about this. Based on my knowledge, the government plans to build a food city on this land so that they can expand the domestic demand and increase job opportunities. Later, I’ll make a tender proposal for a food city.”
Thomas shook his head. “No, that will definitely fail.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because there’s a food city located not far away from Northern Wilderness. It will be extremely wasteful if they build another one again.”
“So, what should I do?”
“When you go back, you immediately make a tender proposal for a designer outlet.”
“For luxury goods?”
“Yes, there is an extremely low number of luxury brands in the Southland District, and there’s an airport near the land of Northern Wilderness. It’s very convenient to get connected internationally. As long as you introduce a large number of luxury brands into the outlet, you’ll immediately attract a lot of attention.”
Harvard frowned. “Will this work?”
Thomas chuckled. “Of course it will work. As long as the designer outlet is built, mutualism will be established among the outlet, food city, and entertainment city nearby, and they will be the triangle of entertainment in Northern City. It can maximize domestic sales, raise the government tax income, and increase job opportunities. It will also form the unique entertainment culture of the Southland District. It’s multiple wins.”
At that moment, Harvard totally admired Thomas. It was only now that favonovel.com realized Thomas had an outstanding business mind.
There came the last question.
“Thomas, how much bribe money do you think is suitable?”
“Bribe money?”
Harvard nodded. ‘Yeah, it’s the old rule. If you want to get the project, you’ll have to give some bribe money. I think $1,000,000 will be enough. I’ll ask the Finance Department to handle it.”
Thomas immediately raised his hand to stop Harvard. “No, you don’t have to give any money.”
