Chapter 1663: Chapter 875: The Competition Among the World’s Top Architecture Firms_2

"Is there such a thing?"

Liu expressed his inability to understand.

What could be a better option than a secure position with Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau? Are private construction companies really this popular now?

"But Wang, it’s just a private construction company, virtually unknown. How can they compete with our Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau? Moreover, this is Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital project. Is this something the average domestic construction company can take on? So, Wang, I think you’re overthinking it."

Liu Haicheng pondered for a moment and still believed that the so-called Feiyue Construction Company Wang mentioned was not worth considering at all. Even if they had some influence, they could not compare to Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau in the massive Pharaoh Kingdom New Capital project, let alone compete.

"While that’s a valid point, Liu, this phenomenon cannot be ignored, or many years from now, when Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau finds it harder to move forward, it will be too late for regrets."

Wang reminded him nonetheless.

After all, Wang had once held a management position at Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau and had worked alongside Liu Haicheng.

"Yes, yes, I got it. Earlier, I also looked at the new employee entry data for our Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau and found that quite a few were from the Mist City Arts and Science University School of Architecture. What does this mean? It means that our Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau is highly favored even in the architecture programs of these private universities."

Liu Haicheng had a lot of confidence in the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau he managed.

One is thinking ahead, and the other is full of confidence.

However, over at Feiyue Construction Company,

Ding Yue had long teamed up with Director Chen Ping and An Yujia to start working on the planning drawings for the New Capital of Pharaoh Kingdom. Once the planning drawings are completed, they will be directly submitted to Pharaoh Kingdom. As long as their planning drawings are strong enough, Pharaoh Kingdom will surely consider them and, during the tender, lean more towards Feiyue Construction Company.

In fact, many international construction companies are doing this work.

Including Wanxi Construction Group, Dahe Construction Group, Keweite, American Bridge, and others, they have also started drafting planning drawings for the New Capital of Pharaoh Kingdom. Everyone wants to submit their planning drawings to Pharaoh Kingdom first to score some points.

"Principal Ding, regarding the Pharaoh Kingdom New Capital project, as I understand, there are many competitors."

In the Principal’s office of the Administration Building at Mist City Arts and Science University.

An Yujia was discussing this matter with Principal Ding.

This matter is extremely important for raising Feiyue Construction Company’s international reputation. If they can secure the Pharaoh Kingdom New Capital construction project, Feiyue Construction Company’s reputation will skyrocket into the league of top national construction companies.

"Yes, that’s for sure."

Ding Yue nodded and said, "Construction companies from America, Europe, and other regions will certainly flock here, and naturally, our domestic Xia Construction Bureau won’t fall behind. This is a brutal war without gunpowder."

This is something Ding Yue could foresee.

It can be considered a competition among the world’s top construction companies, thus it will be very intense.

"I suppose everyone is relying on their planning drawings to gain Pharaoh Kingdom’s favor. Even though the official tender hasn’t been announced, competition is already so intense. As far as I know, there are companies like Keweite Construction Company, American Bridge Construction Company, Dahe Construction Group, Wanxi Construction Group, BuYige Construction Group—these are all famous international construction companies, and our domestic Xia Construction Bureau is likely also designing the Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital plan, just like us."

An Yujia analyzed and said.

"How much longer until Pharaoh Kingdom announces the public tender?"

Ding Yue asked.

"There should be a few months left."

An Yujia replied, "People are aware because Pharaoh Kingdom issued a decision to relocate their capital, hence needing to build a new capital in the desert. Once the news came out, no one could sit still, but it will still be some time before Pharaoh Kingdom opens bidding for the new capital."

"So, in these few months, this is the time to improve goodwill with Pharaoh Kingdom."

Ding Yue smiled and said, "Let’s follow the normal route and showcase the advantages of our Feiyue Construction Company."

"Okay, Principal Ding."

An Yujia nodded, "Director Chen Ping and I are planning on doing just that. This is an open international tender, so naturally, whoever has the better plan, whoever is more favored by Pharaoh Kingdom, will have the strength to secure this massive project."

"Yes, yes."

Ding Yue also nodded and said, "Tell everyone at Feiyue Construction Company that we are going all out, and regarding current national projects, if we can avoid taking them, let’s avoid them for now. For those we’ve already accepted, proceed as usual, and focus all remaining efforts on this battle, gathering the best talents. We must be confident this time!"

"Understood, Principal Ding!"

An Yujia understood Principal Ding’s intent, which was to concentrate efforts on major matters.

What constitutes a major matter?

Undoubtedly, it’s the massive project of Pharaoh Kingdom’s new capital construction.

"Principal Ding, the new capital construction project of Pharaoh Kingdom has a challenge that we need to overcome. This is what Director Chen pointed out to me from a professional perspective."

An Yujia suddenly said seriously to Principal Ding.

"Oh? What challenge? By the way, where is Director Chen?"

Ding Yue frowned and asked.

"Director Chen is busy. Ever since we decided to compete for Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital bid, Director Chen has been extremely busy every day."

An Yujia replied, "The challenge is that Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital is to be built in the desert."

"The desert, huh."

Ding Yue found it interesting upon hearing this.

It’s quite common for countries like Pharaoh Kingdom to build cities in the desert, as much of that region is desert, and oases are scarce.

This makes sense, but constructing a modern metropolis in the desert poses a significant challenge to major construction companies.

Especially since building this modern city in the desert requires addressing numerous and significant challenges.

"Yes, Director Chen said that constructing a city in the desert requires solving many major challenges, but they will do their utmost."

An Yujia nodded in agreement.

"Certainly, they need to survey the terrain on-site, among other factors, to know how to better plan a modern city in the desert, right?"

Ding Yue considered and believed an on-site investigation was necessary.

"Yes, yes, Principal Ding, I’ll have Director Chen and the team dispatch a group to the selected site for Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital to conduct a survey."

An Yujia nodded.

"That is indeed necessary."

Ding Yue agreed, "A thorough survey is crucial. Getting all the data will aid in better planning and design."

Therefore,

In the next two to three months, talented architectural engineers from Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Construction Company began planning for Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital.

They carried out multiple planning simulations and sent a team to the Pharaoh Kingdom’s New Capital site to conduct a survey, bringing back new data for the design and planning team.

Clearly, to plan and design a new capital, they must consider the actual situation. Pharaoh Kingdom is mostly desert, and the site for the New Capital, as determined by Pharaoh Kingdom, is a desert area just a few kilometers away from the current capital.
