Chapter 113 Wrangling
The organizing committee's top management prefers large companies, but overall, Feifan Island does have more advanced technology.

"For these two events, you can set up tickets, and all the proceeds from the tickets belong to you. But there is one thing you must do: your server must cover more than 80% of the planets in the ten star systems. This ensures that students from most planets can participate."

The military personnel hesitated to speak.

They didn't mean that. They just wanted to recommend this company and hope that Feifan Island could achieve win-win cooperation with the organizing committee.

There is not much time left for preparations for the competition. Everyone knows that the server of Feifan Island is very special and it takes time to produce it, let alone roll it out.

Does the organizing committee mean that they don’t want Feifan Island to participate?
Then what's the point of them coming here in such a hurry?

Su Xiaocai looked calm, knowing that General Bai might be too eager to do the job. "So your committee came up with this tactic of getting something for nothing, and then let us back down?"

How could the organizing committee dare to say directly that this is correct?

But it's not entirely correct. Their coming here has two meanings, which are contradictory.

One is to make Feifan Island give up.

The second reason is that I really want to make this project a success.

The reason is simple. Military supervisors have joined the organizing committee.

The opinions of the group members were divided into two groups.

One wants to maintain the traditional competition format.

The other wants to innovate and screen more talents.

The two sides have different opinions.

As the younger brothers below, we thought about it day and night and finally came up with this idea.

They told Su Xiaocai the truth. Only Feifan Island's game mechanism and environment met their competition environment requirements.

Give Feifan Island a difficult task.

If Feifan Island agrees to bid under such circumstances.

The organizing committee must then approve the project and then open it to public bidding.

It's just a show for the military and the top brass of the organizing committee.

The final success or failure depends on Feifan Island itself.

After all, it is an open bidding, and the quality of the product can be determined in public, so there is no way to cheat.

The organizing committee member said: “If you need to rent military server equipment, the military can also provide it.

They felt that after the virtual competition venue was built, the one who would basically benefit would be Su Xiaocai, after all, she could continue to operate the product after it was created.

They also double-labeled the act of making money out of nothing as giving Su Xiaocai an opportunity to make money.

"Ah."

Yu Haiming couldn't help laughing. Everyone looked at him. He was a stay-at-home, not a socially anxious person.

He is the general manager of the company, and considering the interests of the company, "Let's not talk about what 50 million can do. You guys came here in such a hurry, so you must not have much time."

General Bai's secretary raised the corner of his mouth. It was clear that the young man admired by General Bai would never be easily overwhelmed by the "surprise" of the organizing committee.

If it were an ordinary small company, they would work overtime and take out loans to get the project first. If they can't complete it, they can just entrust it to other companies. They should first try to get the honor and put their name on it.

The reason why he was sent here was to keep an eye on Su Xiaocai and prevent the people from the organizing committee from taking too much advantage.

The funding from above must be a lot. If the organizing committee doesn't want to use it up, do they want to pocket it?
General Bai's secretary knocked on the table. "I don't know what you say internally, but our military only requires that the quality of the virtual venue must be up to standard and that we can truly select talents. We cannot use an intermediary to do the project, and we don't want to use your old-fashioned selection method. If you have a better screening method, we don't care, but it must be held under our noses."

The military is warning the organizing committee not to use their old and dirty ways of doing things because they will not accept it.

If they want to select people, they must hold a wide audition. What's the point of just having schools compete with each other? They want to select talented young people from the public, not just those picked by the schools.

Who doesn't know how to operate behind the scenes?

In the military, almost all the high-ranking officials now have powerful backers. If this continues, it will develop into warlord separatism. The insect people were not dealt with successfully, but internal strife broke out.

None of the five admirals wanted to see this happen.

The organizing committee members choked.

They didn't mean that, but this is how they have discussed projects in the past.

I lower the price, you raise it.

It's a normal process for both parties to save face and then negotiate the price in the next round.

General Bai's secretary crossed his arms and had a sullen look on his face.

I was too lazy to waste time with the organizing committee as the Ten-Star Competition was already in a hurry.

They still want to argue with Feifan Island, which is meaningless.

"Unless you develop a better plan to get more students from the ten star systems to participate, can you be more practical? Is this how the organizing committee works?"

Dealing with these organizing committees is a hassle.

Although time is tight, they pretend not to care, saying, "I know you want this project, but we have to be a little cautious and not let you think the money is easy to get."

Such projects are expensive in themselves, and yet they don't want to pay. General Bai's secretary couldn't bear to watch it.

"You need to talk about it. If not, just stop doing it and don't hold the competition."

The organizing committee members feel so aggrieved.

Under the urging of the military, the organizing committee had to talk about the key points.

The organizing committee members who led the team found it a bit difficult to explain. After all, the time they gave was not sufficient. They had to start working on the task as soon as it was given and could not wait until the bid was successful.

"The deadline is two months. We can make the project public within a week. You better come up with a plan within a week."

Su Xiaocai smiled and said, "Or 50 million?"

That smile doesn't look kind at all.

The organizing committee whispered, "If it can be completed on time, the maximum reward will be 200 million."

Su Xiaocai pondered for a while, raised her hand, and said, "Five hundred million. I will write five hundred million in the bid. You can ask for whatever you want. But one thing is that we will still collect the entrance fee and the like. You have the right to set an upper limit, but you cannot interfere with anything outside the venue."

Whenever they heard anything, the secretary and the principal said in unison that they were afraid that Su Xiaocai would get into trouble.

"You can't have a gambling game."

"What do you think of me?" Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes. Of course she couldn't do it. After getting the project, she knew that it represented the official's face.

She understands face-saving and will never fall into any of the three bad habits.

General Bai's secretary confirmed with her: "Can your company really complete this project within two months? How many people do you have? It may need to be revised when it is delivered, which means that you should provide results at least half a month in advance."

"You don't have to worry about that, because I'm already working on this project." Su Xiaocai didn't lie. When she thought of giving Chibi Maruko a place to play, she thought about building a stadium.

She even said that she wanted to build a simulation city for humans and artificial intelligence to play in.

The city is fully equipped with facilities and can be built into a more fantastical city.

Artificial intelligence can be incorporated into this.

The scale of this simulation city was too large, so she only made a foundation.

If the organizing committee is willing to pay, then this simulated competition venue can be built in advance.

The organizing committee member was surprised and said, "You knew in advance that we were going to do this project."

"No." Su Xiaocai said calmly: "It was originally for my friends to have a place to practice and play."

Since you guys are willing to be the scapegoat, there's nothing wrong with her taking it on.

"Poof!" The principal sprayed tea again, spilling it onto the table. He quickly wiped it with a tissue, "Excuse me, sorry, please continue."

The organizing committee was speechless. The reason was too far-fetched. They didn't believe it and turned to look at General Bai's secretary who was calm and composed.

General Bai's secretary spread his hands and said, "Even if you suspect that she might be reborn, you can't doubt our character. We haven't told her anything."

Su Xiaocai said seriously: "You don't believe me? I really wanted to build the stadium for my friends to play. I'm not a businessman in the traditional sense."

The more I talk about it, the harder it is to believe, but two months is really a bit too short.

Both the organizing committee and the military want to start selecting talents during the summer vacation.

If the organizing committee does not want to be eliminated, they have to hold the event as early as possible.

The military wants talents, and they hope to absorb more young geniuses among ordinary people.

If a country does not want to decay, it must employ more ordinary people.

Only with the participation of the whole nation can there be supervision by the whole nation.

Organizing Committee: "Let us discuss this."

Then they went away and reported Feifan Island's opinions to their superiors.

They also notified other companies about this project, and many large companies expressed their willingness to take it on, but they asked for a higher price.

Su Xiaocai only wanted 500 million, which made them feel a little hesitant.

"Well, decide quickly. I have to go to the vegetable garden later." Su Xiaocai calmly walked to the principal's collection cabinet and asked the principal for some tea to make tea.

The principal twitched his lips. The tea that Su Xiaocai pointed at was his sweetheart.

Not only is it delicious, it’s also hard to buy.

In front of so many people, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he squeezed out a sentence, "You're so clever, you picked my good stuff."

"I want to bring honor to the school." Su Xiaocai whispered to the principal, "If I accept the task, can the principal give me a back door? I won't attend some teachers' classes, but will my credits, points and scholarships still be counted?" In fact, Su Xiaocai no longer had any plans to take the scholarship, she just wanted to be naughty and try her best.

The principal stopped her from thinking too much, "No, it's not enough class hours. If you pass the exam, I can give you credits, but no scholarship. You are a boss now, why are you competing with ordinary students for money? You should be more noble."

"Noble but poor." Most people with noble character regard money as nothing. Su Xiaocai cannot do that. To her, nothing is her lifeblood. She can do more things with it.

"Give me the scholarship. It will be very useful to me."

"No discussion." The principal advised her to fart less.

"cut."

Su Xiaocai went aside to make some tea, and Yu Haiming came over to ask for a cup.

It has a refreshing taste when you first taste it, a sweet aftertaste in the throat, and a lingering aftertaste on the tongue, which is very memorable.

Good tea, good tea.

Yu Haiming finished one cup and then had another.

The principal is about to have a heart attack. It's like a cow chewing a peony. Young people who don't know how to appreciate tea should not drink it.

"Boss, can we really deliver within two months? Do you need me to hire technicians?"

"No need. You just need to prepare for the full deployment. I will handle the technical issues. If the project is successfully bid, you will immediately ask the shareholders for money. You should get all the money they want to invest first."

It's only 500 million, plus the shareholders' money, it's not enough.

Far from enough.

Yu Haiming moved his lips. "According to a conservative estimate, it would cost 3 trillion to roll out the entire line. It would be difficult to do so even if we took out all the money in our company. Should we borrow money from the bank?"

Bank loans cannot lend so much.

"It's okay. I'll go borrow from Mr. Turtle. He must have money."

"Turtle owner? Who?" Which turtle farmer has so much money?

Who else? Of course it’s Ji Li. That guy looks weak, but he is a rich man.

The house in the central area of ​​Capital Star is worth billions, so he bought it just like that.

The savings must be considerable. At worst, I can write a formal IOU and give him more interest.

Anyway, Su Xiaocai said she would take care of the money issue, so Yu Haiming felt relieved.

"Should we do a few more waves of account giveaways?" Last time, hundreds of billions of dollars came in, and the effect was very good.

“No, it depends on the simulation cabins in the market. There are only so many mid- to high-end simulation cabins. If we issue them to so many accounts, it will soon be saturated.” Su Xiaocai still thinks it’s better to proceed steadily.

She believed that after two rounds of competition, the financial pressure would definitely be alleviated.

The only trouble is where to place the server and someone to watch over it after it is placed.

People are the most difficult resource to recover.

Sensing Su Xiaocai's gaze, General Bai's secretary looked up, nodded and smiled at Su Xiaocai.

He was suspicious. Why did Su's smile sound calculating?

The organizing committee went to another room, contacted their superiors, and expressed Su Xiaocai's intention.

It also shows that there were military personnel at the scene, who were slightly biased towards Su Xiaocai.

This discussion took more than an hour.

The principal knew Su Xiaocai's physical condition and that she was quite greedy, so he asked people to bring a lot of snacks for her to chew.

Su Xiaocai was very rude. She was indeed hungry and the food on the table disappeared quickly.

After the organizing committee came back, they gave her a specific plan and expressed her request, and they agreed.

But one thing is that in order to ensure fairness, she, as one of the organizers, cannot participate in the competition.

"Pfft." The principal spit out tea for the second time today. He was counting on this dark horse to win the championship, but you banned it?

Su Xiaocai nodded.

"Wait." The principal raised his hand to stop, "If you can't be a contestant, then what about being a mentor?"

"What?" Instructor, you are kidding.

Judging from the principal's expression, he doesn't seem to be joking.

"We will send technicians to supervise you at that time. Make sure none of you cheat in the background."

“Is it supervision or stealing skills?”

When it comes to technical confidentiality, it is better to make it clear at the beginning.

Yu Haiming didn't believe the organizers of the Ten-Star Tournament. They had always used private companies like Xingheng Entertainment to organize events.

Although multiple companies participate together, the fairness of the competition is guaranteed.

What if the people they sent are technical personnel from these companies, who are here under the guise of supervision but actually want to steal secrets?

Yu Haiming: "We don't want the organizing committee to supervise us. If we have to send someone, we should send someone from the military."

"I only trust General Bai." Su Xiaocai also stated, "I don't want anyone from your organizing committee."

She didn't believe that anyone on the organizing committee said there was no support behind them.

She would rather her technology be taken away by the military than be given to private enterprises.

Especially some companies that have committed crimes such as murder and arson.

The organizing committee felt aggrieved again. When they cooperated with enterprises, they always had to please the other party.

Su Xiaocai is really weird. She is on guard against them. No matter how amazing her skills are, is her reputation important?
Well, the other party doesn’t take technology too seriously, so they still welcome military personnel to go.

In the game between the two sides, Su Xiaocai is clearly the better one.

General Bai's secretary's eyes flickered. Lieutenant General Bai had always wanted to arrange someone to go to Su Xiaocai's side.

This event will be an opportunity.

Lieutenant General Bai could not find an excuse to transfer manpower over there, and the technicians' application for leave was rejected. The reason was obvious: there was a shortage of manpower after the war, and if they wanted to take leave, the technicians would be transferred to other places for support.

The competition is about to be held, and Su Xiaocai asks General Bai to send his people over, so that they can naturally go to her laboratory to learn new technologies.

one stone two bird.

The military watched from the sidelines, hoping they would make a quick decision.

That look seemed to be saying, "How long will you keep on being so fussy?"

Very insulting.

"Don't worry, we will assign someone from the organizing committee to go there when the time comes."

"No, I want someone from the military. Government personnel who are not related to any family will also do, but they cannot be the organizing committee members." Su Xiaocai remembered very clearly that those elderly people all had identities and backgrounds.

The composition of the top members of the organizing committee is like that, so how fair can we expect the people below the organizing committee to be?

Most of them must be the people behind the old man.

The so-called fairness is maintained only under the constraints of multiple parties.

General Bai's secretary said at this time, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will meet your request on behalf of General Bai."

The organizing committee was almost vomiting blood. This was not allowed, that was not allowed. It was clear that they did not trust the company and they wanted to just leave.

The organizing committee thought: You two have already discussed it, what do we have to do with it? Fortunately, they came. If the seniors above came, they would have slammed the table and shouted that it was ridiculous.

Even if the military wants to intervene, they can't do anything about it. After all, they know better what kind of talents they need.

Every decision is made by those old men, and the military has long been fed up with their covert operations.

It’s not that the people screened out are not good enough, but that a large proportion of those ranked at the top among the screened personnel are their people.

Just imagine that in a few decades, all the mecha masters in the competition will be those people.

It would be better to recruit soldiers from the public as before and then select them within the army.

But that approach also has disadvantages.

People who have some connections will try their best to move up. As long as they are healthy and have similar qualities, they will always be able to squeeze out children from ordinary families.

"We will issue a bid within a week."

The organizing committee can only agree to this first. Whether the senior staff of the organizing committee will go back on their word and approve the project later is none of their business.

Su Xiaocai said sarcastically, "Okay, no problem. If you guys go back on your word just to trick me into spending a lot of money on this, then I can also cut off the source of the problem and directly sell the finished products to those in need, so that they can choose the people themselves."

This is definitely none of the organizing committee's business. I'm too lazy to argue with them. Selling it to the military will definitely be more than 500 million, it can be a hundred times more.

You cross the river, I demolish the bridge. I will deal with you as you wish. If you have the skills, you are the boss. I am not counting on you to become rich.

The organizing committee, choked again, could only keep smiling.

“I hope you can win the bid.”

Bidding is always unpredictable. If another company bids lower and produces what they expect, they will win.

Then the project is not yours.

Their private interest is to ensure that there is a company that can undertake the project.

They would be embarrassed if the project was launched but no one could produce anything and no one came to bid.
