If you want us to hand over this part of the property and facilities that are about to be completed and accepted, you must pay us half of the full total contract price in accordance with the general contract! ”

I said, "Chairman Long! No problem with this! We'll pay you tomorrow according to the contract! ”

Chris laughed and said, "Great! We are very satisfied with the properties and facilities built by the Haolong project for the CIA workstations!

So, after you handed over these properties and facilities to us, we are about to move in for renovations and we plan to move into our new home by the end of this year!
