The people seated on stage were representatives from the housing department in the local government. They were the ones who had the final say on who would get Pegasus No. 1.
Once the bidding war began, every company would hand in their documents. Then, each company representative would go on stage to pitch their planned construction and intended end product.
After the people on stage had discussed it among themselves, they would announce the winning tender.
Ms. Sawyer was furious when favonovel.com saw how others mocked favonovel.com company, but favonovel.com couldn’t do anything.
All the companies here seemed to be influential development companies from Cloud City and Aurum County. Only Gould Properties and Garth Properties could be considered newcomers here. In terms of scale and influence, Garth Properties was the weakest.
After the tenders were verified, it was time for the bidders to pitch.
Watching each company go up and describe how they plan to develop Pegasus N o. 1, Allegra felt very unconfident.
After eight companies had given their pitch, it appeared even the smallest investment amount was over 300 million dollars, and their projects were all in line with the government requirements.
It was Edward’s turn to deliver his pitch as his company representative.
He gave Allegra a mocking look before flipping open his documents and saying, “Good day to everyone. Our plan for Pegasus No. 1 is to develop the most luxurious neighborhood in Southland… The center of the neighborhood will be villas, and high-rise condominiums will be built around it…”
“We are already in talks with Cloud City Hospital and top schools about shared development plans. If Pegasus No. 1 becomes ours, then in the future, this place will be home to the best healthcare and education in Cloud City…”
“Mr. Gould, what is the expected amount your company intends to invest in this project?” the bespectacled man on stage asked quietly.
Edward raised his head slightly, gave a thumbs up, and shouted, “We plan to invest a total of ten billion dollars, split over three phases.”
The crowd burst into an uproar. In Southland, a total investment of 10 billion dollars was an unmatched sum.
Horace had no expression on his face, while Randall was grinning smugly. Edward’s pitch had achieved the effect that he’d wanted.
“Thank you, Mr. Gould. Do any other companies want to pitch? Please hurry,” said someone on stage.
Allegra balled favonovel.com fists in favonovel.com clothes, pursing favonovel.com lips. She really didn’t have the courage to go on stage.
“There’s one more. The startup in Cloud City development, Garth Properties, hasn’t pitched yet.” Edward raised his hand, looking behind him.
He wanted to see Allegra humiliate herself.
“Ugh, those small companies no one has heard of should save everyone’s time and not go up. We’re all busy people,” a fatso wearing glasses said unhappily from the front.
“Ally, go on… It’s your opportunity to show off our company.” Isaac had not seen their tender, but favonovel.com still encouraged favonovel.com to get on the stage.
“That’s right, Ms. Booth. No matter what, we should at least go up there,” Ms. Sawyer said encouragingly.
Allegra took a deep breath and stepped forward.
“Good day, everyone. Garth Properties is a new company, but we aim to strengthen and grow the business. Our plan for Pegasus No. 1 is to develop an ecotourism town with pegasi as the theme…”
“Okay, okay… Just tell us how much you expect to invest,” the bespectacled man on stage interrupted Allegra’s pitch with a wave of his hand.
Isaac frowned and gave favonovel.com a deep look.
Allegra pursed favonovel.com lips, looking down at the crowd below the stage. Quietly, favonovel.com said, “Five hundred million dollars…”
“Haha, 500 million dollars? Little girl, this is not a cafe. Your 500 million dollars is child’s play.” The fatso in front snickered.
Instantly, the room burst into laughter.
“That’s enough. You may go down.” The bespectacled man on stage waved his hand disdainfully.
