Chapter 284: Building In Progress
"President, I believe that it's been over a week we've been requesting to have a meeting with you."
"Can we at least have a proper reply from you this time regarding the issue we're asking for?" Jun Minji was on the other side of the phone. This question once again turned out to become a dilemma that Jason Deng finds it challenging to answer.
Especially while the person in question was seated opposite of him.
"Miss Jun. Please forgive me in regards to all this, but I'm afraid that I have to keep this person's information anonymous. I hope you can understand my difficulty in answering your question," Jason Deng said.
His reply is accompanied by a tone of regret. Even if Jun's Conglomerate has a massive influence in this part of the world, their position was still below the president of a small country. She should be satisfied with such a reply.
But sometimes, it is hard to debate who was on the wrong side.
Naturally, Jun Minji would be troubled by such a response.
"Then… As a return to your kind gesture, I guess I'll have to give you an early warning that Jun's Conglomerate is considering investing in a different industry. Our export route might skip the stop in Marianna in the future, so please be prepared."
Jun Minji's word was like a bomb to Jason Deng.
Something like that was akin to getting sanctioned by the Han Country from trading with them.
And with a restriction in export from Jun's Conglomerate, where almost all the raw materials from building, concrete, gravel, and cement, their existing stockpile would only last for a month or two. This means Jason Deng would have to rely on a different method to import them into the island.
There's Dongcheng and a few other countries nearby, but the price would definitely be higher than what Han Country offers. Furthermore, there's a difference in their quality too, because the different country has different production method that either suits their weather condition or not.
The call disconnected after Jun Minji finished saying what she wanted. From the look of it, her temper had become worst after the incident happened to him. The hint of playfulness in her vanishes too, and this could be worrying.
'I guess I have to properly compensate both of them when there's an opportunity for me to do so.' Zhang Qin Feng thought. Since problems like trade, cooperation, and negotiation weren't affecting him directly, Zhang Qin Feng finds it not as headache as Jason Deng.
On the contrary, Jason Deng's head almost exploded after listening to Jun Minji's sentence.
"Boss…" he wanted to beg his boss to change his mind, but it seems that his attempt would be pointless. Instead of wasting an effort to ask Zhang Qin Feng to reconsider, he might as well start planning what he can do to salvage this matter.
…
…
After the notice and license for the Wind Base Security Force is completed, Zhang Qin Feng spare no time at all to interview the candidates all by himself. Using Stein's accurate reading over their expression, tone, and many more, the vetting process of candidates went along pretty well.
About two hundred candidates were interviewed on the first week alone. Some of them were even ex-soldiers from other countries the resigned due to various reasons.
For Zhang Qin Feng, their previous allegiance wasn't a problem to him. Loyalty is an issue for him right now, as what he'll be bringing out would be something even the most prominent military addict has ever seen.
The interview finally ended after a week. Although the recruitment will still go along, the process won't be going through Zhang Qin Feng personally, but through Jason Deng before he vetting them further to trustable or not.
As for the one hundred and sixty people, they'll be the pioneers for the Wind Base Security Force. But since the training facility is yet to be completed, Zhang Qin Feng can only train them personally in a temporary building renovated as the security headquarters.
In the meantime, they'll go through some indoctrination by some of Jason Deng's security personnel and practice with firearms until the training facility is completed.
A piece of good news soon came to him as he was about to complain about the efficiency of the building team.
Zhang Qin Feng paid the construction site a visit.
More than half a month has passed from the day he delivered the Builder's Frame.
When Zhang Qin Feng finally arrived at the construction site, he was amazed by his envisioned building. There's more to do with it, but it can be said to be around 70-80% completion. As long the glass panels, decoration, plants, and furniture were added into this, Marianna's first AI-inspired township would be officially launched.
Not a single unit of accommodation here will be open for sale. The first phase of this construction was built for the Medical Specialist that came here voluntarily first.
This part of town would be known as the Sanctuary. It came in the feature from Studio to a house that could fit a family of six.
"Boss, are you sure you don't want us to fit one of the units to your liking? We would feel bad for not reserving one of the housing units for you to use." said the developer. Although he was the developer of this project, the designer, land, materials, and everything came from Zhang Qin Feng.
Even the Builder's Frame belonged to the Wind Base Technology.
The developer would likely offer his company to Zhang Qin Feng in exchange for a small percentage of profit and the right to monopolize the Builder's Frame.
But unfortunately, like the one bringing this technology into this world, it was natural that Zhang Qin Feng could see the future of this Builder's Frame much better than the developer.
"Boss… Do you have time to discuss something?" the developer could not keep his eagerness and decided to approach first. In his belief, only the aggressive individuals could maintain the position of being the first.
Since he's already come onto Zhang Qin Feng's ship from the second he agreed to work with Zhang Qin Feng in this project, it was natural for him to be greedier.
"Sure. I just hope you're ready to accept the upcoming project. We have like six to seven phases coming up all over the island." Zhang Qin Feng replied.
