My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 768 - 463 Local Specialties_3

For Baiyeji, this meant thoroughly penetrating the supply chain of Hua Wei, catching a ride on this world-class giant ship.

If the news were released, Baiyeji’s net worth would undoubtedly surge once more...

...

After seeing Mr. Yu off, Hu Yifei took a deep breath and couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a smile on his face.

During his previous meetings with Mr. Yu, he had merely been a minor participant, someone who could only look up to such a major figure.

Little had he expected that in such a short time, he would be sitting on equal footing with this kind of tycoon, participating in top-level global technological collaboration...

When had all this begun to change?

Yes, it had started that day at the KTV gathering, from meeting that ordinary-looking yet magically impressive young man...

Before meeting Meng Lang, he had never imagined his life could be this brilliant.

Thinking about how Baiyeji would gradually ascend the world stage under his direction filled him with vitality!

"Hmm... The computational power issues are also resolved, the cloud computing platform can finally get on the right track now...

And I can almost proceed with a few of the other priority tasks at hand.

Hmm...’autonomous driving license,’ ’Bitcoin Computational Power Supermarket,’ ’Smart Tree’..."

Hu Yifei flipped through a stack of plans waiting to be executed on his desk.

"Ah, looks like I can’t rest again this weekend..."

...

While comrade little Hu was painfully yet joyfully working overtime, comrade Elder Hu was also busy exchanging toasts for the grand mission of saving the world...

"Come come, Hu City, let me toast to you, I’m drinking, and you’re free to take it as you will!"

"Mr. Hu City, I’m Elder Yu from the Hudong Shipyard, this is our first meeting, but we must interact more in the future!"

"I’m Mr. X from the Shanghai Investment Promotion Bureau, Mr. Hu City, let me host the next time you visit Shanghai!"

"Elder Hu, it’s Elder Yu from Hang City. The last time we met was at the cadre training school in Shanghai, right? We have an old connection and are both leaders, so we must look after each other!"

"..."

At the banquet table, a group of higher-ups from the political field were surrounding Hu Yonghua, urging him to drink and networking.

"Alright, alright!" "Nice to meet you!" "Absolutely!"...

While Hu Yonghua was somewhat helplessly dealing with everyone, he was quietly taking note of the attendees’ positions and the representing shipyards in his mind.

Despite being very careful about secrecy.

But there are no walls in the world that can stop news from spreading, especially within the exceptionally well-connected government courtyards...

Hu Yonghua’s major bidding event was still in the preparation phase, yet news that he held orders for the construction of 30 large ships, totaling over 20 billion, had already leaked...

This had truly stirred up a hornet’s nest.

As the saying goes, it’s always darkest before the dawn!

Although there were signs that the shipping market was warming up, no one could be sure whether this was just a fleeting recovery.

After a lengthy downturn, most people were lacking in confidence, none dared to guarantee that if they entered the market now to buy at the bottom, they wouldn’t tragically find themselves stuck mid-mountain...

Several shipowners remained in wait-and-see mode, leading to even fewer shipbuilding orders in the market.

When an official in Su City was heard to have clenched a deal for 30 large ships valued over 20 billion...

Not just from the same province, even officials from neighboring provinces, upon receiving the news, drove overnight to Su City.

Soon, Hu Yonghua’s office threshold was nearly worn out.

The managers from those shipyards were manageable, but the troublesome part was that some of the visitors were from investment departments, and even provincial colleagues, all drawn by the lure of securing orders.

Every invitation for a meal was so enthusiastic that he could hardly decline.

Out of options, he decided to invite everyone together and attempted to discuss matters over dinner, while also sizing up this group of visitors.

In Country Hua, discussing matters over a meal table is the most efficient way.

This culture of dining tables can also be considered one unique national condition.

Observing Hu Yonghua surrounded and barely visible in the middle, a young man in a suit in a corner of the table felt somewhat uncomfortable and shifted uneasily.

Unsure whether to go up and offer a toast or just sit quietly.

Facing a group of officials, who were at least at the departmental or bureau level, he, a civilian factory director with no position or power, was quite out of place here.

But desperately, his home factory was barely surviving.

Even though he knew the chances were slim, he had no choice but to bravely show up.

Coming from a technical background, he had little experience with such settings. He had heard that securing such orders usually required connections and favor-pulling, and simply sitting there wasn’t going to achieve anything.

Just as a round of introductions and toasting had ended and everyone had finally taken their seats, a space next to Hu Yonghua opened up.

But before the young director could rise and exchange pleasantries, Hu Yonghua had already begun to speak.

"Everyone, let me say a few words! I understand why you all are here. Honestly, I didn’t expect this matter to cause such a commotion among my colleagues.

I understand everyone’s situation, you’re all striving for your companies, but, as you know, these orders only cover 30 ships and can’t meet everyone’s demands.

Moreover, these orders were entrusted to me because our city’s enterprises trust me to handle them, and I cannot let them down.

So it’s the same statement as before, the procurement plan will be distributed to you all, and in two days at the bidding meeting, it will be a fair competition.

The best proposal wins the contract!

I can’t promise much else, but I can assure you that the process will be absolutely fair and just!"
