Chapter 176 Bidding Conference
Jennifer nodded her head and said, “That’s right. It’s Lord Campbell, and he is only twenty-seven years old.”
Linda got excited and said, “Lord Campbell and Donald both have the same family name, and they are of the same age. Why are they so different from one another? Jenny, wouldn’t it be nice if you get married to Lord Campbell?”
“Mom, can you stop daydreaming? There is no way Lord Campbell would fall for me. Do you think he lacks women?” Jennifer said exasperatedly.
Linda calmed down and said, “You are right, but you really should be thinking about getting married. Are you still in contact with Nigel lately?”
“Nigel wouldn’t dare to come to Pollerton right now,” Jennifer said.
Leonard suddenly asked, “So, how is your preparation for the land reclamation project going?”
Jennifer sighed, gave Kevin a dirty look, and said, “Everything is ready. It’s already on the news, so they will start the planning process soon. After that, they will decide on the general manager and the project manager. I will attend their bidding conference to participate in the bidding, and if I manage to secure the project, I will go and look for investors.”
Kevin shrugged and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Don’t contact Skylar again. You hear me?” Jennifer said.
She still remembered seeing Skylar sitting on Akio’s lap in Fortune Bar.
“Why?” Kevin asked.
Jennifer shook her head as she tried to stop herself from thinking about the scene.
Meanwhile, the president of Pollerton Translations, Akio had also seen the news. He immediately met with Rupert and asked, “Can we secure one or two projects?”
Rupert shook his head and said, “We are not sure yet. I still can’t figure out who got the approval for the land reclamation project.”
Nigel was wearing a coat and a pair of sunglasses as he walked in and said, “It’s Lord Campbell.”
Akio and Rupert gasped and exclaimed, “So that’s what happened. Has Lord Campbell come to Pollerton?”
“He’s probably still in Quadfield, but Kingsley is here,” Nigel said.
As soon as he finished talking, the news came on the TV. According to the proposal, the land reclamation project is worth hundreds of billions, and the amount of the investment would change based on the work progress. The project’s general managers are Charles Langford and Kingsley Felton, and they are still in the process of selecting a project manager. Individuals and companies who are interested to participate in the bidding can head to Seasons Hotel.
Nigel pointed at the TV and said, “Look! That’s one of Lord Campbell’s subordinates, Kingsley Felton, the Wyvern King.”
“Get someone to contact him immediately,” Akio ordered.
However, Rupert fell into deep thought, and a hint of uneasiness flashed across his eyes.
Noah International Group has just been established, and Lord Campbell turns his attention to Pollerton. Will any of these interrupt my plans?
Thirty minutes after the news ended, various companies began to make their move.
Businessmen from all over the country started to swarm into Pollerton to look for various business opportunities.
A project with an original capital of hundreds of billions would allow industries around it to benefit drastically, so no one was willing to let go of the golden opportunity.
The bidding officially started one day later.
A press conference was also held in conjunction with the bidding conference.
Both conferences were held in a large hall that could cater to two thousand and five hundred people in the Seasons Hotel.
On the big screen, Kingsley remained motionless as he sat in his seat. Charles’ hair was immaculate, and he was wearing a silver-white suit. He took the microphone and said, “I’m honored to be selected as one of the general managers of the land reclamation project. The entire project covers a total of thirty square kilometers of the sea area, which is equivalent to the size of a town. Considering factors such as qualifications and work progress, we will be dividing the thirty square kilometers into five sections for the bidding.”
