The most crucial reason Jian Ai chose Century Group was because of Chen Lei’s character.
As Jian Ai had said, although she had only met Chen Lei twice, Chen Lei’s actions had left an excellent impression on her the first time they met. Businessmen were always greedy, but Chen Lei sold a house worth nearly a million yuan to her at a fifty percent discount because she saved Old Ji. Perhaps a few hundred thousand yuan was just a drop in the ocean for Chen Lei, who was worth billions, but he had accumulated his billions of yuan from these few hundred thousand yuan.
In the eyes of a businessman, money did not matter. As long as it was money, they wanted to pocket it.
Hearing Chen Lei’s words, Jian Ai had a faint smile on her face. Then, she gave the project manager, You Bin, a look. When You Bin saw this, he quickly handed over the project blueprint in his hand.
Jian Ai said, “Uncle Chen, whether or not we can collaborate depends on your company’s construction team’s standards. Because the project I’m collaborating with you is not an ordinary building. The construction difficulty is unique in the country!”
Chen Lei was stunned when he heard that, but looking at Jian Ai’s confident expression, he knew she was not talking nonsense.
Jian Ai’s words aroused Chen Lei’s interest. He couldn’t help but smile and nod. “Alright, Uncle Chen is even more curious about your East Sea Real Estate’s first project.”
As he spoke, Chen Lei spread out the huge project blueprint on the office table. The complicated and strangely shaped hotel design plan appeared in front of Chen Lei.
With just a look, Chen Lei’s eyes widened.
“This is…” Chen Lei looked at it in disbelief. He was momentarily shocked and speechless.
After being in the real estate industry for many years, Chen Lei’s company focused on residential buildings and villas. Most of them looked similar.
It was the same in Baiyun City. Although they had a well-developed economy, there were only a few buildings with a sense of design. There was even less of a bold front like Hotel M, even in China. Never had there been a building with such a complicated structure!
Jian Ai had already expected Chen Lei’s reaction when he saw the blueprint. She could not help but look at Bai Zhou with satisfaction.
She was not in a hurry to interrupt him. Instead, she gave him some time to buffer himself.
After a while, Chen Lei came back to his senses. There was still shock on his face. He couldn’t help but shake his head and exclaim, “How wonderful. It’s wonderful!”
Without a doubt, Chen Lei was praising the person who designed the hotel.
Chen Lei shifted his gaze to Jian Ai’s face and asked, “Xiao Ai, did your company’s designer made this?”
Jian Ai smiled and shook her head. “No, to be honest, Uncle Chen, Tom Wright was the one who designed this.”
“Tom Wright?!” Chen Lei was shocked. It was the same reaction Jian Ai had when she heard this name. “The designer of Burj Al Arab, Tom Wright?”
Jian Ai nodded. “Yes!”
“No wonder!” Chen Lei was shocked, but if Tom Wright produced such a high-end and bold design, it would make sense!
“Then, are you going to build a hotel on the land in Haicheng District?” Chen Lei asked.
“That’s right! The hotel looks like an M because the hotel’s name is M,” Jian Ai said.
“Hotel M!” Chen Lei considered this name and looked at the blueprint twice. He couldn’t help but praise, “Good, creative!”
