Chapter 177


    Charles'' statement immediately sent an uproar across the room.


    That meant a total of fivepanies would be able to secure the bidding.


    However, there were at least four to five hundredpanies in the hall, and only fivepanies


    among them would be able to secure the project.


    “Rest assured. We will not be favoring any connections. The proposal is all we would consider,”


    Kingsley assured everyone.


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard his words.


    There''s no way anyone can use their connections in Lord Campbell''s project. Besides, there is no


    need to organize a bidding conference if someone is able to utilize their connections and secure the


    project. Lord Campbell will just give it to them in private.


    “The bidding process shall now begin. Please submit your bidding proposals and information,”


    Kingsley said.


    Due to Kingsley''s reputation, everyone was acting in an orderly manner when each representative


    submitted their proposals.


    There was no trace of emotion on Kingsley''s face as he read through the proposals. Everyone in


    the hall was waiting anxiously for the verdict.


    Kingsley finally finished reading through all the proposals after a few hours and said, “I have


    skimmed through all the proposals briefly. There are over a hundred proposals, and thirty-six among


    them have a market value above tens of billions. These thirty-sixpanies are considered to be


    the morepetent ones.”


    Jennifer''s heart sank as she was at a severe disadvantagepared to the otherpanies.


    Herpany was like an empty shell, and its liquidity was less than five million.


    Kingsley picked up a proposal and continued, “Among the thirty-sixpanies, there are only ten


    companies who have rted work experience. This is the proposal from the Wilson Group. The


    representative of thepany, please step onto the stage.”


    Nigel walked up the stage.


    “Hello, Mr. Kingsley,” Nigel greeted him.


    “I don''t like your proposal,” Kingsley said.


    Nigel''s expression changed when he heard that.


    He was feeling very confident about his proposal before the bidding conference even began, so he


    couldn''t believe that Kingsley didn''t like his proposal.


    “Mr. Kingsley, may I know the reason?” Nigel asked Kingsley as he looked at him.


    “These apply better in theory than in practice. You wish to develop the real estate and industrial


    parks, but have you considered anything about the infrastructure development? Thend needs to


    be excavated in rock and soil, so how do you n to find the materials?


    Even if you found them, how are you going to transport them to the site?” Kingsley questioned him.


    “I can just subcontract it to anotherpany. These are the problems that they have to worry


    about,” Nigel said.


    Isn''t this how the construction industry works? Just subcontract it to a third party after securing the


    bid.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Thus, I will not be choosing the Wilson Group. Please leave the stage,” Kingsley said coldly as he


    threw the proposal to the ground.


    Nigel''s face darkened, but he didn''t dare to lose his temper, so he turned to leave.


    Kingsley didn''t care about Nigel''s feelings at all. He picked up another proposal and said, “This


    company is a newpany, and it doesn''t have a lot of assets. However, I like their bidding


    document and proposal a lot.”


    The proposal was projected on therge screen, and everyone could see the graceful handwriting


    on the proposal.


    “Thispany was initially a pharmaceuticalpany and a shellpany. However, I would like


    everyone to take a look at what thispany has done. Thepany has managed to set up a


    steel structure department and a transportationpany. Moreover, hundreds ofrge excavators


    have been ordered, and even a barren mountain has been reserved to be used as a quarry. She


    has done everything to prepare for thend remation project. I would like to know if any


    companies in attendance also came up with such detailed preparations,” Kingsley said.


    Jennifer''s whole body trembled in excitement because she was the one who made the proposal.


    The whole proposal was at least twenty thousand words, and it was all handwritten.


    The proposal described in detail theplete sequence of the process from the initial stage of


    excavation to theter stage of remation.


    Everyone''s faces became grim as Kingsley flipped through the proposals on the screen because


    the proposal was finer than the one that was drafted by a professional architect.


    “So, this will be the firstpany that secures the bid. It''s Jennard Construction. The representative


    of thispany, pleasee onto the stage,” Kingsley said.
