Chapter 1670: Chapter 168: Making the Impossible Possible

Peter Brown and his team winning the bid for the one billion Riverwater Valley Reservoir Project spread like wildfire throughout the entire branch company, and it was indeed exhilarating news for the current state of the branch.

"What? Peter and his team won the bid?"

"Wasn’t it said that they had no hope of winning that project?"

"I heard the advantage was merely around a thousand yuan, how did they prepare the tender?"

"I heard that Peter sits in the office every day, he didn’t even go to market!"

"That luck is just too incredible!"

As the news arrived, various discussions emerged.

When Matthew Clarkson heard the news, he too was shocked and sat there in disbelief. He had not anticipated such a result—a one billion project!

If it had been a bid won by the Group’s company, a one billion project may not have been the biggest, but for a branch company, such a project was super-sized indeed.

The fact that a project which nobody had faith in was secured by Peter Brown was, in itself, an enormous political achievement. The influence of this event could not be overstated.

Now, who dared to say that Peter was not fit for the role of deputy manager.

When Matthew Clarkson thought of how he had spent so much effort yet had not secured a project, he felt defeated for the first time.

The leaders of the branch company also had mixed feelings about this matter. With this project in hand, Peter’s position within the branch was solidified.

In the current atmosphere of unease within the branch company, Peter managed to swim against the current and achieve such tremendous success, naturally, everyone would start to lean towards Peter!

While everyone was contemplating the situation, Tobia Armstrong had just put down the phone. Naturally, it was Peter who had made the call, knowing that Tobia was concerned about the project, Peter had reported the outcome to him immediately.

After hearing Peter’s report, Tobia sat there with a complex expression on his face.

After hanging up, Tobia picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then muttered, "Just over a thousand yuan advantage!"

All the recent events ran through Tobia’s brain, and when he thought about how the entire province was stirred up over a project, Tobia became more and more alarmed. He felt he could not go on thinking about it—the power behind Peter was dreadfully terrifying. The figure behind had chopped down two sizable powers without showing themselves; such strength was formidable.

Peter had kept himself well hidden indeed!

However, when Tobia remembered that he was the one who had promoted Peter, his eyes brightened again. No matter what, Peter was of his own faction, and the big shot behind him must surely have a favorable view of him.

No, more work needed to be done, to further elevate Peter’s position and deepen that favorable impression!

After thinking for a while longer, Tobia said to his office director, "Notify the leading members who are at home to have a meeting."

Lately, few had left the company, and most of the leading members were almost always at the Group company.

Soon, everyone arrived at the small meeting room.

Once seated in the small meeting room, Tobia looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is aware of the recent situation within the company. Some incidents have occurred, stalling our bidding and tendering work."

A vice president said, "It really can’t be helped. We did a lot of work in the early stages, only for many issues to arise later, and our connections were lost. We need to re-establish them."

Tobia said, "We can’t just think about working those connections. We are a provincial, large-scale group company, and our strength lies there. With our actual skills, in the current favorable environment, we are even more capable of achieving results."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tobia, wondering what he was getting at.

Tobia said, "I just received news that we’ve won another bid for a one billion reservoir, the Riverwater Valley Reservoir Project."

"No way, we’ve been keeping an eye on this project, and there are two companies that had deeply entrenched relationships—they were almost internally locked for the project. How did we manage to secure it?" a vice president in charge of operations asked, puzzled.

Tobia replied gravely, "The branch company assigned Comrade Peter Brown to this project, and I remember there was a meeting where it was discussed; some said that Comrade Peter wasn’t taking his work seriously and didn’t do the groundwork."

At these words, some of the leaders’ faces became somewhat uncomfortable.

Tobia continued, "Who now can say that Comrade Peter did no work? Could he have won the bid without working? Could we have won by just over a thousand in price without effort?"

"Everyone was busy asking about the situation since they still didn’t know the details of the bid.

Tobia then broadly introduced the situation of the bid.

After listening, everyone sat in shock, being veterans in the field, they all knew how crucial a precise bid was. How much effort must Peter and his team have put in to extract such a figure?

People didn’t believe that Peter’s team could just think up such an accurate number on the spot.

As Tobia looked over the group, he said, "Correct, nowadays the province speaks of transparency, openness, and fairness. When this proposal came out, everyone thought that it was impossible to work with, but as we can see from the way Peter and his team operated, it gives us a great idea. The focus of our work still lies within ourselves. When we have strength, we can easily defeat the opponents. Comrade Peter has taught us a lesson with his actions!"

Now everyone was puzzled, each thinking about the developments—could it really be possible to win a bid on merit alone?

But then again, if that was hard to believe, Peter truly did win the bid—and for a one billion project no less.

Recently, it was rare for the Group company to win a one billion bid; how then did Peter’s team manage to win it?

Those who knew about Peter’s work situation were even more perplexed, thinking, didn’t Peter spend all his days idly? How could he have won the bid?

Suddenly, everyone realized an issue they had all overlooked—the background of the two most powerful companies behind the Riverwater Valley project became clear.

As they unraveled the powerful forces behind those involved with the incident, everyone’s expressions changed.

What kind of background did Peter Brown really have?

Unbelievable!

At that moment, everyone realized they had truly underestimated Peter’s situation.

And when they thought about the purpose of today’s meeting initiated by Tobia, they held nothing but admiration for him—how did he manage to notice something about Peter?
