Marco Engineering's company, compared to the previous few months, seems to have a new vitality, even the mottled paint on the door frames seems to have become cute.

Now, in addition to the boss Allen and his assistant Carter, the 'Marco Engineering Company' has also hired a cashier and back-office, at least the office and reception area have become much cleaner and tidy.

After undertaking the construction of the shooting range and runway of the 'Dream Ranch', the engineering company that was on the verge of closure miraculously came back to life and began to live a good life.

During this time, the 'Marco Engineering Company' undertook a series of projects within the Helena area, and although it could not be compared with the glory of the turn of the century, it also made Allen's life much better.

Now, Allen has dispelled the idea of leaving the United States and working hard in Huaxia, the world's largest construction site, and according to the current development form, he should be able to live a fat year this year.

Sitting behind the desk, wearing a casual suit, Allen couldn't see the decadence of the original scruffy beard, but replaced it with a high-spirited posture.

'Jingle Bells'

Just when Alan was complacent, the phone on the desk rang, and he quickly picked it up!

Although the situation of "Marco Engineering" is good now, it is not yet luxurious enough to hire an operator and a front desk, and Allen, as the owner and designer, has to personally handle the door-to-door business.

"Hello, this is 'Marco Engineering!'" Allen's accent had a hint of Munich in it, a mark he had left behind when he was a child with his grandfather.

"Little Ellen, I have another big business waiting for you here, hurry up to 'Maple Leaf Castle'!" Old Bob's loud voice came from the earpiece, but for Allen, it was tantamount to heaven.

Half a year ago. It was Bob's introduction that enabled Alan to receive two projects for the 'Dream Ranch', which made the fate of the 'Marco Company' change 180 degrees.

Now, old Bob said that he had a big business, and that he was going to 'Maple Leaf Castle', and Alan immediately realized. This is a real opportunity!

"Uncle Bob, do I need to do anything to prepare here?" Alan is also quite clever, hoping to get some news from old Bob so as not to be caught off guard.

The Marco family and the Bob family have been friends for more than 100 years, and they are both German immigrants, and they have survived Helena for nearly 200 years, supporting each other through ups and downs.

"Now you need to show your professionalism!" Old Bob didn't know where to start, and gave Alan this hint.

…………

After hanging up the phone, Alan immediately called his assistant Carter. The two drove the company's Chevrolet pickup truck, loaded some related instruments and equipment, and rushed towards the 'Dream Ranch'.

Helena at the end of September, the sky is high, the white clouds are long, driving in the wilderness, looking at the endless pastures on both sides of the road, it is a great enjoyment.

In particular, some pastures are rushing to mow the grass. After baling with a baler, it is placed on the grassland, just like the temperament of a chessboard mountain neatly arranged. It has a special aesthetic.

Since its establishment, Marco Engineering has survived, developed and grown by relying on the infrastructure construction of one ranch after another, so Allen has a very fond memory of this ranching scene.

In the past few days, it was precisely because of the vigorous development of small and medium-sized farms and ranches in the western United States that 'Marco Engineering' had enough orders. But as the financial billionaires of Wall Street and overseas have come to see Montana's farms and pastures as vacations. The ranch construction market has stagnated or even regressed, and the difficult situation of Marco is just a microcosm of many businesses in Montana.

After passing through the picturesque scenery, Chevrolet arrived at the 'Dream Ranch', and after talking to Bob Sr. on the phone, the car passed through the majestic gate. Before coming to 'Maple Leaf Castle'.

This gate is still the work of 'Marco Engineering Company', in order to create a gate that satisfies Xiao Feng, Alan and Carter are on the front line, and it is finally successfully completed.

"Alan, here!" Old Bob stood on the steps of the castle and beckoned, "The boss is already waiting for you!"

Don't think that the United States doesn't talk about personal sophistication and personal relationships, in fact, in many fields, the law of acquaintances doing things is not necessarily only at work in China.

If it weren't for the relationship with Old Bob, Xiao Feng would naturally not have chosen 'Marco Company' as the construction unit of 'Dream Ranch', and other companies would still be able to complete the project excellently.

Because of the last time 'Marco' showed sufficient professionalism and cost control ability in the construction of the shooting range, runway and ranch ancillary facilities, Allen was given another chance.

Entering the conference room of the 'Maple Leaf Castle', Xiao Feng, Ma Wanli and others were discussing the map on the conference table, and the scene was quite lively.

'Maple Leaf Castle' is not just a residence, it is more of a comprehensive building, in addition to a large number of rooms, there are conference rooms, small cinemas, gyms and other ancillary facilities, complete equipment has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

In many cases, Xiao Feng is in the 'Maple Leaf Castle' to deal with the various affairs of the 'Dream Ranch', enjoying the convenience of working from home, which is something that ordinary people can't do.

"Alan is here!" The movement of Alan and several people entering the conference room woke Xiao Feng from the discussion, he nodded and said: "This plan on the table is a plan for the future of the 'Dream Ranch', I hope that the 'Marco Company' can do its best to make the design and construction plan according to the requirements, and strive to start construction before October 1st!"

Because of the excellent performance of the previous 'Marco Company', Xiao Feng decided to hand over the planning, design and construction plan of the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area' to Allen this time, after all, it is not good to be cooked.

"Okay, then I'll take a look!" Hearing Xiao Feng's tone, Alan immediately realized that this was big business!

When Alan and Carter let go of the plan on the table, they found that it was not enough to describe the whole project with big business.

According to Xiao Feng's plan, he will purchase the 'Elk Ranch', which is adjacent to the 'Dream Ranch' and borders the 'Dream Lake', with an area of up to 10,000 acres, to create a tourist attraction integrating tourism, leisure and safari.

Follow such a huge project. Whether it is the construction of roads, restaurants, hotels, docks and various animal houses, it is all exciting to preserve.

According to the plan, the 'Jinghu Group' will invest 300 million US dollars to carry out a comprehensive renovation of the 'Elk Ranch', and the entire construction period will last for more than three years.

Not to mention anything else, as long as you can get a certain share of this huge project. 'Marco Engineering' is going to be in for a very good time in the next few years.

Of course, Alan doesn't whimsically want to take all the projects into his arms, he still has this self-knowledge, and he and Carter carefully pick out the small projects they can do from the huge number of construction projects and record them one by one!

Allen knew that the reason why Xiao Feng gave himself such an opportunity before the project bidding was completely a reward for the construction of the previous projects, which he could accept, but he couldn't appear too greedy.

Today's 'Marco Engineering Company' is actually an empty shell. After getting the project from the 'Jinghu Group', they can come up with a design and construction plan, but the construction team does have to be formed temporarily, which is destined for them not to undertake too many projects.

According to the actual situation and his own advantages, Allen chose the two projects of "Dream Lake Wharf" and "Dream Lakeside Landscape Road", which are a bit small and the total investment is about 10 million US dollars!

Of course, the price and labor level in the United States is much higher than in China. $10 million can at least make a series of decent projects in China, but in the United States it is almost meaningless.

"Then you can go back and make the design plan first. After the state government and the Environmental Protection Bureau approve the construction of the project, you can start construction!" Seeing the two project intentions submitted by Allen, Xiao Feng appreciated Allen more and more, knowing the advance and retreat, knowing the gains and losses, and being a character!

In fact. This time for the construction of the 'Dream Scenic Spot', Xiao Feng and the senior management of the 'Jinghu Group' have decided to hand over most of the projects to Huaxia Construction Engineering Group and pull in the 'Marco Engineering Company', just to win more support from the local people.

As everyone knows. The labor level in the United States is quite high, and the United States not only has high requirements for hourly wages, but also puts forward extremely strict requirements for the working environment, overtime, etc.

The American labor union is also an extremely powerful non-governmental organization, and even some super groups do not dare to offend these guys who demand 'labor negotiations' all day long, especially the politicians of the local government and even the American government, and they have no lower limit for the sake of votes.

In order to avoid more troubles, Xiao Feng is naturally more inclined to choose the construction unit in Huaxia for construction, which can take care of domestic enterprises and speed up the progress, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Of course, in the process of building a 'dream scenic spot', it is always necessary to take care of the local government and the people's feelings, and provide certain jobs for the local area, which is the choice of smart people.

No, after the recent completion of the merger and acquisition contract of 'Elk Ranch', Xiao Feng immediately submitted a project plan to the Montana state government to develop the 'Dream Scenic Area', with a huge amount of investment, thousands of jobs and future economic growth, which immediately made the Montana state government shine in both eyes and is taking the initiative to step up activities, hoping that the project can obtain permission from the environmental protection department as much as possible.

In the United States, there are several departments that are quite authoritative, one is the tax office, and the other is the environmental protection agency!

Needless to say, the tax office has a greater deterrent power than the FBI, and even law enforcement officers have the right to carry guns, and Americans would rather break other laws than fall into the hands of the tax department.

Benjamin Franklin put it even more so: In this world, nothing is certain except death and paying taxes.

As a profile picture character printed on a dollar bill, Franklin's words basically sum up America's life!

The authority of the EPA is more focused on enterprises, and every industrial, agricultural, and commercial project must pass an environmental assessment before starting construction. Unlike the 'environmental assessment' that is a bit of a formality in China, the environmental assessment of the United States has been carried out in earnest, and the 'one-vote veto system' has been implemented.

It can be seen that if the environmental assessment of the 'Dream Scenic Area' cannot be passed, the investment of up to 300 million US dollars will have to be terminated.

…………

Alan happily took the planning plan of the 'Dream Scenic Area' home to study, and strived to come up with the design and construction plan in the shortest possible time, and Xiao Feng was not idle here, and the Preparatory Committee of the 'Dream Scenic Area' project was officially launched.

If the 'Dream Ranch' is the internal construction of the 'Mirror Lake Group', the 'Dream Scenic Area' is an important project that has a wide range of connections between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and the local Montana area.

The success story of the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' proves that a popular scenic spot with a lot of tourists will bring huge traffic and drive the rapid development of the local economy.

Internationally, the development of tourism as a green industry has become a unanimous consensus of governments, so when the 'Dream Scenic Spot' project was proposed, the most active person was the Montana local government!

For government officials, once such a huge project can be launched and developed, it will stimulate local economic development and create a large number of jobs, which is a living political achievement, and no one can miss it.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng submitted the project application, local government officials first promoted the project in the media, believing that it was an important move to benefit Montana taxpayers, and at the same time, there were some heavyweights on the Democratic Party side who stood up for the 'Dream Scenic Spot', after all, Montana is an emerging territory of the Democratic Party.

With the joint efforts of all parties, the Montana Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued an environmental assessment of the "Dream Scenic Area" on September 28, and approved the "Dream Scenic Area" to start construction within the regulations.

Yang Yuanhang, who is in China, reached an agreement with the overseas business department of Huaxia Construction Engineering Group according to Xiao Feng's instructions, and Huaxia Construction Gong will undertake the construction of most of the projects of the "Dream Scenic Spot".

At the same time, Xiao Feng is also the "Marco Engineering Company", which has provided a large number of jobs to the local people in Montana, which has won more support for the project in the local area!

For a while, the construction around the 'Dream Scenic Area' has become a hot news in Montana, after all, this kind of large-scale construction has been away from the sight of Americans for a long time!

For the Americans, the 19th and 20th centuries were the best time for them to build frantically and show the great national power of the world's largest country.

But as the center of gravity of the world economy continues to shift to Greater China, Americans see only declining traditional industries and slowing infrastructure.

Nowadays, the large-scale construction of the 'Dream Scenic Spot' has made many Americans feel a different kind of novelty! (To be continued......
