As soon as these words were spoken, the room was in an uproar. Pei Mingyuan raised his hand and pressed it down. After it quieted down, he said,
"The theme of this competition is 'Innovation, Breakthrough, and Reshaping'. The registration period for the competition is fifteen days. After the registration deadline, all the works will be screened and evaluated in the preliminary round within fifteen days. The total duration is one month. The company will give generous rewards to the first, second, and third - place winners of the competition. All employees of the Pei Group can sign up for the competition."
Someone raised their hand and asked, "General Manager Pei, can you tell us what the rewards for the winners are? Only in this way will we have the motivation to participate in the competition."
Everyone smiled knowingly. Pei Mingyuan said,
"The first - place winner will receive a 2% dry - share dividend of the Pei Group for ten years. Moreover, the Pei Group will completely build the entire project according to their plan and the winner will have the naming right of the project."
Xu Zixi's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but look up at Pei Mingyuan. Wasn't this project design competition really tailored for her?
The scene also started a heated discussion because of Pei Mingyuan's words. A 2% dividend for ten years, what did that mean? If the Pei Group earned 100 million through this project, the winner could get 2 million in dividends. But could a tourism project earn 100 million a year? That was too little! The beach tourist attraction developed by the Zhao Family next door earned more than one billion during the peak season.
"The second - place winner can choose the part with the highest votes in the plan for construction. After it is completed, they can hold the operation right of the facility for five years."
The reward for the second place was also very generous! Five - year operation right could also bring in a fortune!
"The third - place winner is the same as the second - place winner. They can also choose the part with the highest votes in the plan for construction, but they can only hold the operation right for three years."
Three years... As long as the project could make money after it was completed, three years would be worth it!
"However, I have to remind you all first. The Yan Family is the largest investor in the project, accounting for 70% of the capital investment. Our Pei Group only accounts for 30%. This project design competition was proposed by the Yan Family. The person in charge of the Yan Family will also attend the finals as a guest and has the right of veto. This means that if there is something in your plan that does not meet the requirements, even if all the judges give high scores, it will still be rejected. So, if anyone plans to participate in the competition, don't take it lightly. You must devote 200% of your energy to it. Don't let the Yan Family think that there are no talents in Haicheng."
The Yan Family would attend the finals? Xu Zixi sat up slightly straight.
Her goal was to be the first in the project design competition, but if the people from the Yan Family attended the finals, the result of the competition would be hard to say. Seeing her name, the Yan Family might directly remove her from the list of participants.
Tapping her fingers lightly on the table, Xu Zixi rolled her eyes and said,
"General Manager Pei, if that's the case, I think this competition is unfair."
Pei Mingyuan raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Xu Zixi said, "You said that the Yan Family has the right of veto. But if a certain contestant has a close relationship with the Yan Family, and the people from the Yan Family veto other more excellent plans in order to let this contestant win, it will naturally be unfair to other excellent contestants. On the other hand, if a contestant has offended the Yan Family, but her plan is really excellent, it would be a pity if it is vetoed by the Yan Family because of personal grudges."
Cui Jiandong echoed, "Young Master Pei, I think what Assistant Yuan said is right. Since we are going to have a competition, we should try our best to be fair and give everyone a chance to show themselves."
As they were both new employees, as soon as their voices fell, they became the focus of everyone.
There were indeed some people in the meeting room who were thinking about using connections to manipulate the results to win. After hearing this, they glared at Xu Zixi and Cui Jiandong angrily.
Pei Mingyuan said, "The board of directors has already thought of the problems you mentioned. You can rest assured that the competition system is absolutely fair. In the preliminary round, all the works will be evaluated anonymously. The works that advance to the finals will be announced ten minutes before the finals. The author will explain the works backstage. The winning results of the competition will be announced based on the scores of the judges and the opinions of the investors."
There was a lot of discussion below.
The works that advanced to the finals would only be announced ten minutes before the finals. What did that mean? It meant that the author needed to know the works very well and be fully prepared. Once they knew they had entered the finals, they had to present the works. There was simply no time to prepare. It was really a test of on - the - spot performance.
Pei Mingyuan looked at Xu Zixi and asked with a smile, "With this competition system, does Assistant Yuan still think it's unfair?"
Xu Zixi nodded in satisfaction. "It's very fair. I have no objections."
As long as her name was not exposed, everything would be fine.
She also really wanted to see what the reaction of the person from the Yan Family would be when they saw her at the award - giving ceremony if she really entered the finals. Just thinking of such a scene, Xu Zixi was filled with fighting spirit.
Just for the sake of making the people from the Yan Family show shocked and regretful expressions, she had to win the first place in this competition!
On her first day of work, she got the news of the project design competition. Xu Zixi couldn't help but sigh at her luck. After the meeting, Xu Zixi carried the documents back to her exclusive office. She inexplicably wanted to find someone to share her happy mood at this moment. Seeing the ring on her neck from the glass reflection, she took out her phone with a smile and dialed Yan Yincheng's number.
On the top floor, in the chairman's office of the Pei Group headquarters.
"The exploration team just sent back a message this morning saying that there are traces of a rare sea fish called 'Golden Amber' in the coral reef waters in the southwest of the project area."
Yan Yincheng had heard of this kind of fish. It was said that it was extremely beautiful. At first glance, its scales were purple, but they would change color with the ocean temperature. It was called "Golden Amber" because it had a very special gland. After entering the mature stage, it would secrete a golden - like liquid. This liquid was extremely viscous and would condense into a crystal like amber after dropping, hence the name.
Most importantly, this kind of fish was only distributed in the waters near Haicheng. It could be said to be unique in the world. But for some unknown reason, this kind of fish suddenly disappeared from the sea twenty years ago and never showed up again. So far, only the aquarium in the Haicheng Zoo still had one in its collection. However, that "Golden Amber" had passed its mature stage and no longer secreted the golden liquid.
What surprised Yan Yincheng the most was that in his previous life, this sea fish had never appeared until he died. Why did it suddenly have news in this life?
He was just about to discuss the "Golden Amber" sea fish with Chairman Pei Jun when his phone suddenly rang.
His phone was specially made. The frequency of the ringtone and vibration told him the caller's number. Recognizing that it was Xu Zixi calling, Yan Yincheng made a gesture to Pei Jun and then answered the call.
"Zixi, what's up?"
"Brother Cheng, what do you want to eat tonight?" On the other end of the phone, Xu Zixi's voice sounded very cheerful, indicating that she was in a good mood at the moment. "I'm in a good mood today. I'll let you order."
