Chapter 4: Finalizing the plan

“Next is one of the most crucial issues: water. We have designed a 100-cubic-meter reservoir.”

“For this, we are still using a space-grade water circulation system. It can be reused repeatedly through electrolysis, circulation, and filtration, allowing for better water resource recycling.”

“As for energy, according to your requirements, the entire fortress uses an independent power supply system, which can ensure that if external power is cut off, the internal energy of the fortress can sustain normal operation for two years.”

“Of course, I also added solar and energy generation modules to better guarantee the fortress’s energy supply.”

Following this, Liu Mo discussed many more detailed aspects of the fortress with Liang Yu.

Liang Yu listened to a general overview, and essentially, all his requirements were met—heating systems, drainage systems, defense and counterattack systems, and so on, were all included.

Eventually, Liang Yu grew tired of listening.

“Director Liu, bring the contract. Let’s sign it directly.”

Liu Mo noticed Liang Yu’s impatient expression and understood the situation, so she handed over the prepared contract.

Liang Yu carefully read through it and found no other issues, then he reiterated a point.

“Director Liu, please add one more clause to this contract: it must be completed according to requirements before July 20th.”

“If it is delivered on time, as long as the inspection is satisfactory, I will immediately pay the remaining balance.”

“But also include this requirement: if your company fails to complete it on time or according to the quality requirements, then you will have to pay me double the liquidated damages.”

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s words, Liu Mo’s expression immediately became unnatural.

Liang Yu had his own reasons for saying this, wanting to put some pressure on them, but he still explained to Liu Mo.

“Director Liu, I’m not deliberately making things difficult for you, nor am I trying to make you pay liquidated damages. I just want to give you some pressure. If you can’t make the decision, you can ask for your superior’s opinion.”

“Half an hour should be enough, right? If not, then I can only find another company.”

Liang Yu watched Liu Mo bite her lip, looking very conflicted. After a few minutes of internal struggle, she finally agreed to the demand.

“Mr. Liang, no problem. I’ll make the changes according to your requirements now. Please check if there are any other areas that need to be changed. If so, we’ll handle them all at once.”

Liang Yu waved his hand.

“No, I’ll sign once it’s changed. The project is a total of 3 billion, right?”

“Yes, Mr. Liang. Originally, this proposal was quoted at approximately 1.6 billion, but you mentioned a double quote, so I took the liberty of setting it at 3 billion for you.”

“Good. I’ll transfer half, which is 1.5 billion, to you first. I hope you can complete it on time.”

Soon, the new contract was brought over. Liang Yu inspected it once more, then signed the contract and pressed his fingerprint.

Finally, half the amount, 1.5 billion, was transferred to Wuji Company’s account.

Liu Mo then confirmed receipt with finance and handed the other copy of the contract to Liang Yu.

“Mr. Liang, please keep this. This is your copy of the contract.”

After speaking, she took out a power of attorney and gave it to Liang Yu.

“Mr. Liang, please sign here. This is a power of attorney, with no other content.”

“Simply put, once you sign it, you are entrusting us to handle all matters during the renovation period, so these trivial matters won’t bother you.”

“This will not incur any additional fees for you.”

Liang Yu checked it and found no issues, so he signed it as well. He indeed didn’t have much time to deal with trivial matters, so this was good.

“Pleasure working with you, Director Liu.”

“Pleasure working with you, Mr. Liang.”

The two symbolically shook hands.

Liu Mo was in a very good mood at this point, having secured a large order. She immediately turned and invited Liang Yu to dinner.

“I’m sorry, Director Liu, but I don’t have time recently. When I’m free at the end of the month, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“So, that’s it. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”

“I hope to hear good news from Director Liu tomorrow.”

“Mr. Liang, I’ll see you out.”

And so, Liang Yu walked out of Wuji Company with Liu Mo.

In the car, Liang Yu realized it was only 4:46 PM, much earlier than he had anticipated. So, he drove to the largest department store and supermarket in the city center.

Upon entering, he directly told a sales associate that he wanted to see the manager to discuss a business deal.

Soon, the manager came before Liang Yu.

“Hello, sir. I am the manager here. You can call me Manager Qian.”

“May I ask your name, sir, and what can I do for you?”

“Hello, Manager Qian. My surname is Liang.”

“I’m here to discuss a special order with you, Manager Qian.”

“I need one of every item in your store, whether it’s food, clothing, or daily necessities, big or small. Anything you have, I want one of each.”

“Manager Qian, are you willing to take this order? The price is negotiable.”

Hearing Liang Yu’s words, Manager Qian hesitated a little. Getting one of everything wasn’t difficult; it just took some time.

The main thing was the purpose of doing this. He was a bit unsure of Liang Yu’s identity.

“Mr. Liang, if I may be so bold, what is this for?”

Liang Yu knew Manager Qian’s concerns, so he began to paint a grand picture for him.

“I always feel a sense of familiarity when I look at you, so I’ll call you Old Brother Qian.”

“Old Brother Qian, I’ll give you the inside scoop. This time, it’s not just your store; we’ll be sourcing a batch of goods from several other stores for selection.”

“As long as it meets our requirements, then you know what comes next.”

Manager Qian also understood Liang Yu’s meaning.

“Ah, Little Brother Liang, then this old brother hopes you’ll take good care of me. I’ll arrange for people to bring out the best of everything right away.”

“Old Brother Qian, that’s not enough. It can’t just be this time. If yours are always the best, they’ll choose you without me having to say anything.”

“Hahahahaha, yes, Little Brother Liang is absolutely right.”

“Old Brother Qian, calculate the total. I’ll pay the money, and for now, the goods can be sent to my house.”

Liang Yu then gave the address to Manager Qian.

At this moment, a supermarket sales assistant walked over.

“Manager Qian, we are already preparing according to your instructions. We’ve calculated the items in advance.”

“Because there are so many varieties, including tobacco and alcohol, the price is a bit…”

Liang Yu thought it was something else.

“Just tell me the amount directly. I trust Old Brother Qian. Later, I’ll also need to trouble Old Brother Qian to arrange for people to deliver and unload the goods for me.”

“Of course, leave it to me, Old Brother.”

“Xiao Li, just tell me the total. My little brother is not short on money.”

“Manager Qian, Mr. Liang, the total for the merchandise is eight million six hundred fifty-seven thousand three hundred twenty-one.”

“We’ll round it down for you, so it’s eight million six hundred fifty thousand.”
