Tang Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "We only have one path forward now, which is to hold a bidding conference. We hope someone will be willing to cooperate with us, but..."
At this point, Tang Zhao hesitated.
"You may speak freely!" Ling Feng said.
"It's just that I don't know if we can attract bidders. This is also very risky, but it's the only way we can go now. Otherwise, if we delay too long, we'll still be dragged down!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng understood Tang Zhao's thoughts and said calmly, "I will handle the building material merchants. You should hold the bidding conference as soon as possible and do not affect the construction schedule!"
The calm and composed demeanor that Ling Feng exuded was always particularly infectious, instantly filling Tang Zhao with confidence.
Tang Zhao took a deep breath and said loudly, "Mr. Ling, please rest assured, we will definitely prepare the bidding conference well!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhao said to Guo Zhigang and others beside him, "Mr. Ling just said he would help us attract building material merchants. Now, we must go all out to prepare for the bidding conference!"
"Alas, yes, we can't afford to delay. I've already reserved the hotel's most high-class banquet hall! President Tang, I'll have people set up the venue now!"
Guo Zhigang sighed, but still mustered his spirits to prepare for a big push.
"I'll be responsible for publicity. I don't believe the Wuhu Group can really cover the sky with one hand. There will always be some merchants willing to cooperate with us!"
"I'll contact the relevant leaders. The bidding conference process must not have any problems!"
...
Tang Zhao and his group rushed to prepare for the bidding conference.
Their work efficiency was very high. In just one day, they had publicized the bidding conference and sent out invitations to all building material merchants in Hanjiang and nearby cities.
Wuhu Group Conference Room.
"Eight fifteen, Ji Chun Hotel Emperor Banquet Hall, Lingtian Group, Baiyanshan Building Material Raw Materials Project Bidding Conference, to be held at that time, sincerely invited?"
Lei Zhengtang looked at the bidding invitation in his hand and sneered disdainfully, "Are you sure they sent invitations to all the building material merchants in the city?"
Feng Yan sneered, "Chairman, this is all true. They really sent out the invitations. As you can see, it's scheduled for eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"They're really in a hurry. Many people probably won't even have time to prepare their bid documents. I think they're desperate."
In the conference room today were not just Feng Yan and Lei Zhengtang, but also many invited building material magnates.
Most of these people were from the Wuhu Group and the families of the previously deceased wealthy young masters. They now followed the Wuhu Group's lead and had almost monopolized the entire economy of Hanjiang.
Excluding military strength, purely in terms of economy, their influence on Hanjiang had reached an unprecedented level.
As soon as Feng Yan finished speaking, the room immediately buzzed.
"Haha, Chairman Lei, you say they are so sincere, should we go or not?"
"Heh heh, does this even need to be asked? Of course, we have to go!"
"Yes, we must go! After all, we are all people of Hanjiang, and we see each other often. Since they have lost face, how can we not give them any face at all?"
A wave of sarcastic remarks emerged, and everyone's words were filled with schadenfreude.
Clearly, these people were not going to attend the bidding conference, but to watch the show!
Just as the atmosphere was getting better, Lei Zhengtang slowly said, "Of course, we have to go. However, I believe everyone's company is short of paper, and the bid documents probably cannot be printed!"
Everyone understood what Lei Zhengtang meant.
Immediately, everyone echoed in a sarcastic tone.
"Heh heh, exactly, my company's printer is broken!"
"Heh, what a coincidence, mine is broken too!"
"Oh dear, I'm already prone to forgetting words now. If the bid documents can't be printed, they can't be written either. What should I do? Will I be very embarrassed at the bidding conference the day after tomorrow?"
"Haha, someone is going to be embarrassed! This matter will definitely be recorded in the history of our Hanjiang business community, haha, the first bidding conference with zero bids, it's simply hilarious!"
...
Everyone present was looking forward to the bidding conference the next day, and they were even more eager to see Lingtian Group make a fool of itself.
However, they were unaware that on that very day, building material merchants from all over the country, such as steel magnates and board tycoons, all received a mysterious bidding invitation.
In an instant, the national building material industry was in turmoil.
The next day, the bidding conference proceeded as scheduled!
Ji Chun Hotel only opened the VIP entrance and elevators directly to the venue, and completely stopped receiving ordinary guests!
This situation made the local building material merchants in Hanjiang show satisfied smiles.
However, their smiles were mostly filled with mockery and sarcasm.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng sat in the presidential suite on one side of the banquet hall early in the morning. Through the large monitoring screen, he could see everything happening inside the venue.
This bidding conference was presided over by Guo Zhigang and the other three.
Tang Zhao, like Yang Fei, stood on Ling Feng's left and right.
"Mr. Ling, Lei Zhengtang, the chairman of Wuhu Group, has arrived. He is in the suite upstairs," Tang Zhao respectfully reported to Ling Feng. "There is also a monitoring video that can see the venue, but the screen is much smaller than here, and the picture is not clear!"
Tang Zhao's arrangement was intended to deliberately tease Lei Zhengtang.
After all, Lei Zhengtang had sneaked onto their territory. Since he was here to watch the show, he had to endure it.
Tang Zhao didn't care whether the bidding conference was successful or not, he wanted to make Lei Zhengtang uncomfortable first!
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng shook his head and said, "If he can't see clearly what's happening in the venue, what's the point of him being here?"
Tang Zhao was taken aback: "Mr. Ling, what do you mean?"
Before Ling Feng could respond, Yang Fei smiled and said, "Heh heh, of course, it's to arrange a better place for him, with a high-definition big screen, so he can see everything in the venue clearly!"
"Good! I'll arrange it now!" Tang Zhao dared not refute anything!
However, just as Tang Zhao took two steps out, Yang Fei added, "Install the monitoring in the room discreetly, so we can also clearly see his expression."
Tang Zhao didn't understand what he meant at first, but he quickly understood. Yang Fei wanted to see Lei Zhengtang's expression clearly.
"Okay! I'll make sure to install it comprehensively!"
Tang Zhao responded and left, but his heart was extremely uneasy, even a little anxious.
Many people had already arrived at the venue, but these people were basically building material merchants from the Wuhu Group and its allied forces.
These people were clearly not here with good intentions. It would be good if they didn't cause trouble, let alone bid.
As the time for the bidding conference approached, several secondary building material merchants who were considered important in yesterday's discussions had not yet appeared.
This seemed to extinguish Tang Zhao's last glimmer of hope.
"Alas, I hope Mr. Ling doesn't have to watch a joke here. I hope Mr. Ling... can attract some building material merchants!"
Tang Zhao sighed lightly, but he did not dare to neglect Yang Fei's instructions and hurried to make arrangements.
