Just like every other country, China had opened its doors to foreign construction companies, allowing them to bid in selected infrastructure projects in the country.
"President Zhuo, it's a pleasure to have you here in China and congratulations for passing the pre-qualification stage." An old man who was wearing a blue suit smiled at Lily and held his hand out to congratulate her. In response, Lily shook his hand, having a small smile plastered on her face.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. This is all Director Han's efforts. I heard that you qualified for the final phase too? Congratulations!" Lily responded cordially. Mr. Lin is the Chairman of the Lin-Smith Construction Company, another powerhouse company that should be Lily's greatest rival in this bidding.
The result of the pre-qualifying stage was announced just a while ago and those who passed the stage were invited to a banquet, giving everyone an opportunity to mingle and network.
