Afternoon.
Amid a round of applause.
The signing concluded.
The Myanmar side held a live broadcast for this, not the entire process, but the beginning and end, along with lots of comntary, clearly presenting the entire project, while India only had text news for now.
The video version will co out in the evening.
"Take care."
"Looking forward to our next eting."
Lunda and Kan Qin bid farewell to each other.
When he ca, he flew directly to the provincial capital of Nagaland, then drove here. He plans to do the sa on his return. With this major project landing, he has to go back for a eting and then head to New Delhi with the contract tomorrow.
Lunda’s convoy departed.
Kan Qin didn’t stay long either.
Preparing to take a special plane back to Naypyidaw to report to Zero.
...
Leaving the conference hall.
"Manager Mi, how shall we celebrate tonight?" asked the deputy manager of the project departnt with a smile.
"Let’s start with a eting."
"Yes."
They got into the car.
Returning to the office.
In the huge conference room, the decoration exuded a bit of luxury, newly refurbished, but no one was worried about issues like formaldehyde. As the place of origin for Solid Locking Solution, its use is mandated by the law.
The consequences of not using it are quite serious.
After sitting down.
Mi Hao turned on the TV directly opposite the wall.
After waiting for a few minutes.
A video ca on, featuring a vice president of the construction company, Mi Hao’s direct superior.
"Mr. Wang, the signing ceremony has ended. The contract with the Myanmar Bank Group is expected to be brought to Xin’an City tonight, and should reach the company by tomorrow morning." Mi Hao reported concisely.
This important contract.
Of course, it won’t be given directly to their project departnt.
It’s managed directly by the Myanmar Bank Group. If it were a local enterprise in Xin’an City, it would be handed to the headquarters. If it were a foreign enterprise, they would have to bring relevant certificates to collect the contract.
And rightly so.
Such an important item.
Even holding it himself, Mi Hao could feel its weight.
"Very good. Next, as per plans, we must complete this project. The entire company places a lot of emphasis on this project, and the allocation of materials and personnel will soon follow the plan."
"Keep it up."
"Yes."
The project departnt has just over a hundred people.
Certainly not the entirety.
Relying solely on them to complete a project worth over 500 million, how could it be possible?
No more unnecessary words.
The screen went off.
Mi Hao started the eting.
"This morning, the border pass has been processed and delivered to the office, allowing the main staff of the project departnt to travel freely between the two countries. However, I still need to emphasize a few points."
"Firstly, obey the law and respect local customs. Over in India, there are certainly so different systems and so different customs. Since you’re abroad, adhering to their rules is a must."
"Be cautious with your words, and prudent with your actions."
"Do not enter Indian gathering areas at will, do not purchase items casually. Imagine you’re so pleased that you buy sothing slightly precious, only to have it detained at the border as smuggling; it would be most unfortunate."
"Even if you buy sothing, it’s best to buy from legitimate sources with an invoice. Pay any supplentary cross-border taxes. However, I do not recomnd doing so, since you have to pay tax when entering Myanmar, and possibly again when re-entering the country."
"..."
This is part of the company’s internal training material, received yesterday afternoon. After reading it once, he rembered most of it, focusing mainly on education about cross-border laws and customs of both sides.
This is the company’s first project in India.
We must act with caution.
"Secondly, the age-old issue of safety. Every project, every construction site, this is paramount. You’ve probably heard it enough to get calluses in your ears, but I must remind you."
"When we leave safely, we must return safely. The main risks co from equipnt operation, chanical accidents, and electrical accidents, so strict managent is very necessary."
"..."
He spent more than thirty minutes.
Mi Hao finally finished speaking.
Honestly.
Without the experience of being a leader.
One wouldn’t know how much there is to say.
In the past.
Mi Hao wondered how company leaders could talk so much, but when it was his turn, he found that ideas flowed like a fountain, speaking smoothly, and having the power to speak truly stimulates human potential.
"Tomorrow will be busy, so for celebrating, let’s just do it in the cafeteria. Let’s make more delicious food tonight." Mi Hao suggested.
"Alright."
"No problem."
"The cafeteria is good too. There probably aren’t many seats in restaurants outside today." Other mbers of managent agreed. This ti, quite a few Huaxia companies had won bids, and were celebrating, so there weren’t enough restaurants outside.
"eting adjourned."
The eting ended.
Everyone dispersed.
Not to return to their rooms to idle, but to begin preparations. Tomorrow morning, they will start on the other side, and their construction plans are precise down to what to do each morning and afternoon.
Back at the office.
"Ding!"
Mi Hao’s mobile phone sounded a notification.
He checked.
It was from Duan Yi.
"Has the signing finished?"
"Yes."
Mi Hao replied with just one word.
"Today, our family’s restaurant has been booked by a Huaxia construction company for a celebration. How about you guys?" At this mont, Duan Yi was also helping in the restaurant, listening to these people chat and thinking of Mi Hao.
"We’re eating in the cafeteria; we’ll celebrate again once the project is on track."
"Alright, but do take care of our business."
"Sure."
Mi Hao casually replied.
How big a deal.
Duan Yi: "I just carried hot dishes for the first ti and directly burned my hand really bad."
Mi Hao: "Be careful."
"I know."
Accompanied by a smiley face.
Seeing these two words, Mi Hao didn’t reply further, he wasn’t soone idle, nor had the ti to chat aimlessly with a young girl. In the initial phase of the project, there are many things to coordinate, fortunately with the Myanmar Bank Group taking the lead.
Other projects.
They still need to build good relations with various local departnts.
Find people.
Invite to als.
A bunch of big headaches.
But this project is different.
The Myanmar Bank Group, being the interdiary, is also the lender, and even the bidding party, to reduce non-accidental delays in construction efficiency, they have taken over the work of coordinating with various Indian departnts.
If there’s an issue.
Contact the Myanmar Bank Group office.
They will address it.
Mi Hao almost wanted to bow deeply to them, forehead touching the ground kind of deep.
Coordination.
Is the most troubleso matter in cross-border projects, with varying standards, administrative issues, legal problems galore, plus dealing with parties coming to ’take advantage,’ every foreign project is a challenge.
Now.
Being ’taken care of’ like this.
Mi Hao felt it was simply wonderful.
King to king.
Myanmar Bank Group.
Represents a state-authorized institution, and from the Indian side as well, making any unjust treatnt like ’I say no even without reason’ non-existent.
The Myanmar Bank Group won’t stand for that.
If unhappy.
They directly find the state leader and Indian top tiers.
In conclusion.
Within the rules.
As long as they don’t violate Indian law, have no accidents, and no quality issues.
There’s no worry of any undue difficulties from the Indian side. This project is also a new experience for Mi Hao because the Myanmar Bank Group issued lots of ’new technologies.’
Holding a small gadget in his hand.
Mi Hao tilted his head.
Indeed.
Nothing from the Myanmar series is ever simple.
