223: Chapter 223 Blank Checks!
After all, what other boss would dare to make a promise of unlimited funding directly like Shen Zhou?
From an employee's perspective, Shen Zhou was simply the truly perfect boss.
Early the next morning, Maria came to Shen Zhou to report.
"Boss, I have successfully contacted the most famous designer employed by the Muham Family."
"Of course, this was also thanks to Orphina's reputation. That designer, Ramcke, agreed to come for a meeting, but it remains to be seen whether we can bring him into our engineering project."
Maria said with a serious expression. In fact, she had already tried to win over Ramcke yesterday with an even higher salary.
But Ramcke had still refused.
"No rush. Since that guy is willing to come see me, it means he has some ideas of his own."
Shen Zhou said quite nonchalantly.
Many Chinese people might think that so-called foreign experts possess great integrity and professional ethics.
But after staying abroad for a long time, Shen Zhou found that such claims were absolute nonsense.
As long as they are normal human beings, the vast majority of people work to earn a living and enjoy a better life.
Besides, even if the designer Ramcke chose to switch jobs, it wouldn't violate his professional ethics.
It was merely a matter of choosing a better master to serve.
At two o'clock that afternoon, Shen Zhou received several experts led by Ramcke at Benrati's manor.
These experts were all members of Ramcke's team.
When these few people gathered together, their resumes alone were incredibly luxurious.
Naturally, Orphina and Maria were also there with Shen Zhou to receive the guests.
"Welcome, experts. Please, everyone, take a seat."
Shen Zhou took the initiative to stand up and greet Ramcke and the others, inviting them to sit down.
A bright and enthusiastic smile was constantly on Shen Zhou's face.
After all, regardless of whether today's cooperation succeeded or not, he had to show sufficient magnanimity and a humble attitude toward talent.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. We've heard about the relevant matters from Ms. Orphina."
"But if you want us to jump ship directly, I'm afraid..."
Even Shen Zhou didn't expect Ramcke to be so direct.
But if he truly didn't want to switch jobs, why would he have come here?
Shen Zhou smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I know Didara invited you to build the world's tallest building, with a height of over nine hundred meters."
"But to be honest with you, this time I plan to build a true skyscraper with a height exceeding one thousand meters."
"Once my project is completed, you will understand who truly holds the title of the world's tallest building."
"Whether it's funding, relevant human resources, or even the approval of other procedures, I have already settled everything."
As Shen Zhou finished speaking, Ramcke and the other experts looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.
Because before coming, they only thought they couldn't afford to offend Shen Zhou, the heir of the Ben Lati Family.
They also wanted to see what kind of good conditions Shen Zhou could offer and then weigh them in private.
If Shen Zhou's price was only slightly higher, they wouldn't be moved.
But if Shen Zhou offered a very high price, their team might split in two to handle both projects simultaneously.
But who would have thought that Shen Zhou would present a brand-new project, and one that they simply couldn't ignore?
"Mr. Shen, we have already signed relevant contracts with Mr. Didara. If we break the contract, we will have to pay a very high penalty."
Hearing the mention of a thousand-meter skyscraper, Ramcke was already somewhat tempted.
But then he remembered the sky-high compensation contract he had signed before.
He couldn't possibly use his years of savings to pay off that compensation.
"You don't need to worry about any of that; I'll cover all the compensation fees for you."
Shen Zhou waved his hand dismissively.
"Mr. Shen, that penalty is not a small amount..."
Ramcke still wanted to urge Shen Zhou to consider it carefully.
The Muham Family was not short on money, and to tie these few designers down firmly, the resulting penalty was no small sum.
Even after seeing the actual amount, Shen Zhou might not necessarily be willing to provide the funds to cover it.
Shen Zhou didn't answer but instead gave a look to Maria beside him.
Maria immediately placed a pre-prepared check in front of Ramcke and the others.
Since you all are one team, I will only write one check.
"As for how the amount on this check is distributed, that's up to you."
As Shen Zhou finished speaking, Ramcke subconsciously picked up the check in front of him.
But he soon saw that it was just a blank check.
"Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Ramcke and the others were a bit dazed.
"Obviously, this blank check is yours."
"I am unwilling to discuss vulgar figures like money with designers who have artistic pursuits."
"I don't want to insult you with a low price, so I am willing to give the initiative to you."
"No matter how much money you need, just fill it in yourselves."
"Of course, the penalty will also come out of that."
"Ultimately, the contract established between our two parties will proceed based on the figure you fill in."
Shen Zhou said confidently.
First of all, regardless of how much money these guys filled in, he planned to have Orphina participate in this project.
And Orphina was also a qualified female as judged by the System.
Not to mention that the ultimate goal of this matter was to make his marriage with Gudisha more stable.
Under these circumstances, no matter how large their appetite was, the System could provide even greater returns.
Now, Shen Zhou was instead worried that these guys wouldn't dare to fill in an exaggerated figure on the check.
In fact, just as Shen Zhou expected, although Ramcke's hands were constantly trembling as he held the check and his heart was filled with surprise,
he really couldn't fill in a suitable figure in such a short time.
This was the famous Arabian region.
Oil was the black gold resource here; whoever controlled the oil held the power of discourse in the Arabian region.
And standing behind Shen Zhou was Benrati, the boss of Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the Arabian region.
Although Benrati was only one of the major shareholders, the power he possessed in the Arabian region far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
The remaining designers couldn't help but turn their gaze toward Ramcke himself.
Their hearts grew increasingly excited.
Regardless, this was the first time they had encountered someone so generous.
Even Didara could not offer them such tempting conditions.
Of course, what moved them the most was the thousand-meter skyscraper Shen Zhou promised.
