Chapter 401 Reclamation?
( ) Standing at the gate of the villa yard is a middle-aged Caucasian woman in a blue suit. The capable business attire looks very formal, and Jiang Chen can tell from the logo on her briefcase that she is from the Dutch bma construction company. They are currently in charge of the infrastructure reconstruction and tourism resource development projects of the Panu Islands.
As for the purpose of her trip, Jiang Chen could roughly guess that it was probably to "collect debts".
Ashamed to say, according to the project contract, every time the construction party completes a phase of the project, the tenderer should pay for this phase of the project. However, since Jiang Chen was not here, he couldn't sign the payment slip, so the payment has been delayed until now.
After finally catching the news of Jiang Chen's return, bma construction company naturally dispatched salesmen immediately, hoping to solve the project payment problem as soon as possible. Although they are guaranteed by Future Technology, they are not afraid that Jiang Chen will hack their money, but the project fund has been dragging on for a long time, which is a big test for their capital chain.
Without keeping her waiting, Jiang Chen pressed the switch of the iron gate and went out to greet her in person.
After seeing Jiang Chen, the lady nodded slightly and introduced herself politely.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen. I'm Hannah Carvel, the manager of the European headquarters of bma construction company."
"Come in and talk." Jiang Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Hannah nodded and walked into the courtyard gate of the villa.
As Jiang Chen walked towards the gate of the villa, she looked around from time to time. The lush subtropical vegetation blooms neatly around the lawn, and the broad-leaf dwarf trees are shaped like umbrella sheds. The whole villa is like a castle surrounded by shade.
It was a very beautiful villa, but she always felt a slight sense of disobedience.
"What else are you looking for?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Hannah pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized the problem, and asked, "Why is there no gardener in your villa?"
Due to business needs, she has visited the Middle East many times. She has seen many similar villas there, and in those villas, there are gardeners who trim flowers and plants all day long. Judging from the flatness of the villa's lawn, it should be taken care of by someone, but at this moment she did not see the gardener.
heard the words. Jiang Chen smiled, "I observed carefully, but my villa doesn't need a gardener."
After saying that, he waved to the bushes beside him.
A disc-shaped drone flew out of the bushes.
Hovered at his hand. If you don't take it apart, the drone itself is not a shocking technology, and Jiang Chen didn't hide it.
However, Hannah, who witnessed this scene, stretched her eyes wide and sighed after a while: "UAV gardening? It's really an astonishing technology. Although we have been paying attention to the technological progress in this area, we still Seeing the finished product for the first time...may I know which company made it?"
He waved his hand and screened off the drone. Jiang Chen teased, "Don't Bill Gates also like to renovate his mansion? Why do you think it's from a big company?"
Hannah froze for a moment, then smiled.
"You are really humorous."
After inviting her into the villa, the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Aisha poured iced cold drinks for them very intimately.
In such weather, it is undoubtedly a wonderful enjoyment to have a glass of iced orange juice.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Hannah skillfully took out the documents from the briefcase and handed them to Jiang Chen.
"At present, 50% of the tourist area and infrastructure construction and development projects on the Panu Islands have been carried out, and it is expected to be completed in December this year. This is the detailed information on the completion of the project. According to the contract. We have completed two phases of the project. I know if it is convenient for you to pay the project funds for the two phases of the project first?"
Jiang Chen just picked up the document and glanced at it, then said casually.
"Of course it's convenient, bring the payment slip."
Hannah nodded, and quickly took out a two-page payment slip from her briefcase.
The two phases of the project totaled 4 billion US dollars. After confirming that the number was not more than zero or less, Jiang Chen readily signed the payer's column.
Seeing Jiang Chen sign, Hannah finally let go of her hanging heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was really afraid that Future International would default on the project payment. Although the agreement stipulates that one installment is paid and one installment is completed, there is still a review process in it. It is not without precedent in the world if the tendering party does not approve that you have completed these projects, or you are stuck in the acceptance process for two or three years. Doing business overseas is a gamble. She made all kinds of plans before coming here. He even prepared no less than a hundred sets of arguments on how to persuade the benefactor to pay.
But the final result was beyond her expectation, Jiang Chen paid the money so readily, as if what he just signed out was not 4 billion, but just a restaurant bill.
Both parties held a copy of the payment slip, and Hannah put the one belonging to the bma construction company into the briefcase, hugging the briefcase to her chest with relief.
"Ashamed to say. We thought you were going to disappear before we came here because you were going to hide from us. I'm sorry for my rude assumption."
Saying that, Hannah stood up and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chen waved his hand, jokingly said, "If someone owes me 4 billion, I have to worry about preventing him from disappearing."
Not knowing whether she was amused by Jiang Chen's joke or by Jiang Chen's English, Hannah pursed her lips and smiled.
"By the way, can I ask something?" Jiang Chen asked.
Hannah was naturally very happy to successfully get the project money for the company, so she said kindly, "Of course."
"Does your bma construction company have experience in building islands?"
Isn't there a saying that goes like this, "God made the sea, and the Netherlands made the land". Since the 13th century, the country has been reclaiming land from the sea on a large scale. Today, 20% of the Dutch land is created by artificial reclamation. The hills have been dug up to fill the sea, and the whole province of Flevoland is almost built.
Although the Panu Islands have a vast sea area, their land area has always been tense. Although it still looks a bit sparsely populated, it is only because the current population is only 20,000. Once the immigration policy is relaxed, and without affecting tourism resources, Jiang Chen reckons that he will be able to accommodate another 100,000 people. However, any county pulled out by the Celestial Dynasty has dozens or even millions of people, and it is not enough to have only 100,000 people in the entire Xin Kingdom.
Jiang Chen had always heard that the Dutch land reclamation technology is very advanced, thinking that bma company is also a well-known company in the Netherlands, so he couldn't help asking. (To be continued.)
