On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I accompanied Mr. Wang to meet with the director of the Construction Engineering Bureau here.

The purpose of this meeting is to implement Mr. Liu's real estate development project.

It turned out that a Russian company had already won the bid for this project, and Liu always took over the subcontracted project from the Russian company.

The general contractor in Moscow was working with Mr. Liu for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other. It was because of the matchmaking of the old director of the Construction Engineering Bureau that Mr. Liu had the opportunity to get in touch with this project.

When I was in China, I saw the presentation of this project, and the scale of the project is indeed not small, so it is no wonder that large companies from Moscow came here to intervene.

Although our intention to contract has been signed, the general contractor is very strong, and they have always wanted to contract this project to a Korean construction company.

Mr. Liu and Mr. Su were always the first Chinese companies to engage in construction here, and have been working with the old director for more than a decade. There were also many interests between them, so the director of the construction bureau recommended Mr. Liu's company to the contractor in Moscow.

Mr. Wang told the old director that the conditions of this general contract are very harsh, and Mr. Liu is currently looking for funds in China to try his best to win the project.

The old director said that the Korean company has already come to inspect the project, and it seems that they do not want to give up, after all, the Korean company has cooperated with the general contractor of Moscow before, so who will the project be given in the end, the current situation is really not very clear, and our company really cannot have any relaxation.

- "This is the largest project in our state in recent years, but I didn't expect that none of our local construction companies won the bid." The construction group under the "Alpha" consortium has reached out to us, who calls people rich! The old director said dissatisfiedly

- "The Alpha consortium? I blurted out.

- "Huh...... yes, you've heard of it, right? The old director smiled

- "I've heard of it! I said

- "The deep pockets still let us advance so much money?" Mr. Wang said dissatisfiedly

- "Moscow's style is so strong. Originally, we wanted the project to be done by a local company, but ...... Hehe...... The governor didn't stand up either. It is said that a project in Chita was also contracted by the consortium's construction group last year. The old director said

- "I have long heard that Russia is an oligarchic economy, and it really deserves its name!" Mr. Wang said

- "I've never really dealt with the construction company owned by Alpha, and to be honest, it's the first time I've met such self-righteous guys. That high-minded attitude means that the people of the Korean company can stand them. The old director said

Back at the office, Mr. Wang called Manager Liu to inform him of the situation here.

Manager Liu's attitude towards this project seems to be inevitable.

He said he had contacted China State Construction to work with the project...... In short, it was the largest project he had ever undertaken in Russia, and he had to fight for it with all his might.

Putting down the phone, Mr. Wang said to me with a smile:

- "Lina, it seems that you will inevitably have to come over more often in the future. ”

Without waiting for me to react, Mr. Wang then asked:

- "Do you know the "Alpha" consortium that the old director said? ”

- "Know something," I said

- "Haha...... What's the matter? The old director said that even the governor didn't resist? Is this true or false? ”

- "Hmm! It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but I know that the governor of Chita is definitely one of theirs. I said

- "What do you mean by that?" What do they mean by people? Mr. Wang asked

- "I think I've heard from friends that the Alpha consortium has provided campaign money to the governors of several states, including Chita. I said

- "I see! Mr. Wang said in surprise

- "Linna, how did your friend know this? Mr. Wang then asked

- "Well, they're all working with the Alpha consortium, so they know a little bit about it," I said.

Remembering the inside information of the Alpha consortium that Roman and Sergey talked about when they talked about their business in Kalinin on that Valentine's Day.

- "What do your friends do?" Mr. Wang then asked

- "I first worked for the customs clearance company of Alpha Bank, and my friends were colleagues at that time, so we know a little more about the Alpha consortium than anyone else. I said.

I didn't really want Mr. Wang to understand my relationship with Roman and Sergei.

- "Oh, that's right," said Mr. Wang.
