Business Journey in Immortal Tao

The Beauty Clubhouse was located in a high-class clubhouse in the city center. The most luxurious chartered room in the clubhouse was reserved by Ma Qingquan, a member of the Gold Card. This chartered room was different from other chartered rooms.    

    

All of the waiters wore large wings, flowerpots and shoes, and the qipao they wore was high and wide. As they walked, their jade legs were faintly discernible, and they were extremely pleasing to the eye.    

    

Behind the desk was a dragon throne inlaid with gold and jade. On the top of the desk was a plaque with four bright words written on it, giving one the feeling of passing through time and returning to the Green Palace.    

    

In front of the desk, there were two rows of tea tables, all made of the same red rosewood. In front of the desk, there were two rows of chairs, all made of the same red rosewood.    

    

Ma Qingquan enthusiastically led Zhang Kai and Li Yun into the private room. The twenty palace maids squatted down and said, "Chenqie greets Your Majesty."    

    

Zhang Kai had been here before, so he casually said: "Go ahead."    

    

When Li Yun heard this, he burst out laughing. Zhang Kai immediately felt awkward. Ma Qingquan quickly explained, "Sorry for making Director Li laugh, coming here to play is just to have fun. As the saying goes, let's keep it fresh. Hahaha."    

    

Li Yun grinned and said, "Then who will be sitting on this dragon throne today?"    

    

Ma Qingquan immediately said coquettishly, "Of course it is Director Li. I will sit with CEO Zhang below with Director Li. Oh, no, with the emperor for a meeting."    

    

When Li Yun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. "You guys really know how to play. Then I'll be the emperor today."    

    

With that, he strode to the back of the desk and sat on the large dragon throne. Two palace maids with large wings, tall robes with forks in the air, and flowerpots and shoes stood behind Li Yun. Each of them held a long-handled fan in their hands. They stood behind Li Yun, looking a little out of place.    

    

There were also several palace maids. Some were holding wine jugs, some were holding water bottles, and some were even holding snacks. They stood on both sides of the table. It would not obstruct the line of sight exchange between Li Yun, Zhang Kai, and Ma Qingquan.    

    

Although he felt a little awkward, this could be considered as Ma Qingquan's painstaking efforts. Li Yun politely said to Ma Qingquan: "Director Ma, I have troubled you."    

    

"Sigh, that's what I should do." Ma Qingquan said.    

    

"Let's cut a long story short. What kind of more advanced machinery does Director Ma have under his command?" Li Yun asked straightforwardly.    

    

"Oh, that's too much. I have four crane towers, four 60-meter long concrete grinder, these are all heavy machinery, ordinary machinery, but there's no way to count them all. Just say 15 tons of earthworks, at least 200 at least, and 200 earthworks at least..." Ma Qingquan continued to introduce himself.    

    

Li Yun suddenly realized that he had asked a very stupid question because no matter how many things Ma Qingquan had introduced, Li Yun didn't understand what they were trying to do. It had always been Li Yun's strong point to immediately correct his mistakes.    

    

Therefore, he waved his hand to stop Ma Qingquan who was talking nonstop, and asked seriously, "How many workers can your men follow you to work outside of home for a long time?"    

    

"I wonder how many people Boss Li needs?" Ma Qingquan asked cautiously.    

    

"I want to build a new imitated ancient city. The area is 20 kilometers multiplied by 20 kilometers, and all around the city, concrete walls have been built. The height of the city wall is 20 meters, and the thickness of the wall is a six-lane road.    

    

According to the modern city planning and design, the city is divided into residential area, business area, entertainment area and industrial area. All roads in the city required eight lanes, the city's drainage system, and all sorts of routes were planned in unison. Let me ask you, in a city like this, how long will it take for you to build one? Li Yun said to Ma Qingquan in a serious tone.    

    

"What a huge sum of money, Director Li. I would like to ask how long will it take for Director Li to build such a city? " Ma Qingquan was already shocked to the core by the order. He wouldn't have to worry about eating it for the rest of his life after making it.    

    

"To tell you the truth, I want to build 3 to 5 such cities, and I hope that the faster I build the better. I have several hundred thousand people, but all the skilled workers and those who control the quality of these key jobs will have to keep up, and I don't need you to worry about the purchase of the building materials. As long as you draw up the list, I will arrange for a special person to purchase and transport the materials.    

    

I am asking your workers to have plans for a long war. We will not return home until the city is built. If possible, I hope you can start work in two cities at the same time. " Whether or not Ma Qingquan was able to do it, Li Yun made the request first.    

    

"Director Li, for such a city to be built, the first thing we have to do is to build infrastructure, such as power plants, water plants, and the distribution of telecom base station networks." Ma Qingquan spoke nonstop while his heart was quickly calculating the number of people he might need.    

    

Li Yun impatiently said, "I know this, it's not within your job scope. I will leave it to Brother Kai to arrange. Your job is to lay all kinds of pipelines under the city walls, roads, tall buildings, and underground." "If you complete a city every year, do you accept this list? I'll give you 2 billion dollars in labor fees for each city."    

    

Ma Qingquan was overjoyed when he heard this: "If that's the case, then I'm confident, I can go and purchase more advanced machinery and equipment, and there's no problem with each city every year, I'll take this list. But I hope Boss Li can pay 50% of the advance payment first, so that I can purchase some machinery and equipment."    

    

"There's no problem with the advance payment. Can't you go back to your workers before you're done? I'll be in charge of food and shelter. " Li Yun asked in a serious tone. This was the question that Li Yun was most concerned about.    

    

He didn't want to move people in and out so that he could attract the attention of others and cause trouble for himself.    

    

Ma Qingquan hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "I understand what Director Li meant. First, we have to finish a city in a year. Second, workers are not allowed to return home until the completion of the project. "Actually, it's not that difficult. I can attract workers by raising their salary, and I will bring some entertainment equipment to put around the resting quarters of the workers. With entertainment equipment, the homesickness of the workers can be reduced, but of course, I will discuss the conditions with them beforehand and won't cause trouble for Boss Li."    

    

This answer made Li Yun very satisfied: "Brother Kai, tomorrow you will start looking for a design company. "CEO Ma, I'll leave this list to you. You can start gathering the people and sign the contract tomorrow, and the funds will be in place right after the contract is signed."
