Chapter: 2462

As she spoke, Xiao Chuiren continued, "We're a small studio, so even if we were to take on such a large project, I wouldn't be able to handle it myself. We would need to outsource some of the design work to other studios and hire at least dozens of designers. It would take us over half a year to complete..."

"And that's just the first stage. When construction starts, we'll need to oversee everything. The construction period will last at least a year, so in total, it would take us almost two years."

"A dozen designers, one and a half years... good designers earn tens of thousands a year. Ordinary ones at least twenty thousand. Just the labor costs alone would be over a million!"

Ma Ran was shocked, exclaiming, "Geez! Labor costs alone are over a million? That's too harsh!"

Ma Ran was shocked, exclaiming, "Geez! Labor costs alone are over a million? That's too harsh!"

However, it seems that way, but Li Chen has already made up his mind to give Xiao Chuoren a heads-up on this project without making a sound.

Emperor Ha Group is originally their own industry, and since Mrs. Wang is so interested in this project, naturally she wants to give her an opportunity to practice.

So he told Xiao Chuoren, "Chuoren, you don't need to think about it too much, just focus on preparation and I believe you will definitely be able to do it!"

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Chuoren nodded firmly, saying, "I will definitely put in more effort! Compete to take this big project down!"

After lunch, Xiao Chuoren went to the company, Li Chen returned to his room and called Wang Dongxue.

On the phone, Wang Dongxue opened up, saying, "Young Master, you're calling me about Mrs. Wang's bidding thing, aren't you?"

Li Chen laughed, "You guessed it."

Wang Dongxue hurriedly said, "Young Master, originally I wanted to directly entrust the hotel renovation design project to Mrs. Wang's company, but I was worried that if I gave her the project directly, she would suspect something, so I told her about this and planned to kick off a bidding process for her company to compete internally, and then it will look more natural."

Li Chen praised, "Dongxue, you did a good job on this thing, considering all aspects, and I came to talk to you about this too. My idea is the same as yours - let Chuoren participate normally in the bidding, and then the company here can directly designate her studio, so that she can feel like she's competing for herself."

Wang Dongxue reassured, "Young Master, don't worry, I'll take care of all these things."

Lei Chen asked her, "When does the group plan to formally start bidding?"

Wang Dongxue said, "I'm planning to give a rough outline within a week, and then start bidding after that."

"That's settled then. I'll leave it up to you."

After hanging up Wang Dongxue's phone, Lei Chen thought there was nothing urgent to do in the afternoon, so he didn't plan to go out.

Thinking about last year's New Year's, he had promised to send gifts to many people and wanted to prepare some elixirs as a return gift. So he decided to take advantage of this idle time to brew the elixir.

He called Qin Gang, who answered the phone and asked with utmost respect, "Master Lei, do you have any instructions?"

Lei Chen said, "Qin General, help me prepare some medicinal materials and send them to my place in the afternoon."

As soon as Qin Gang heard Lei Chen's words, he realized that Lei Chen must be planning to brew medicine. He became excited and said, "Master Lei, which medicinal materials do you need? Tell me, and I'll have someone prepare the best ones for you right away!" JrNovels.com
