"I won the bid. As a member of the team, I can follow this project."
Xia Xiaolan muttered to herself.
Or she won the bid, she will definitely be struggling for the rest of GMP.
When he arrived at the company, Matthew also had a neat suit today.
"You were almost late!"
Of course Xia Xiaolan knew that if she missed the prime time to go out, she would definitely be stuck in the middle of the road. It was not easy for her to arrive in time, okay? This time I went to the Wilson Hotel, in addition to Hoffman and Kissinger.
"P&W seems to be taking over..."
Kissinger and Hoffman talked all the way, both of them were very serious, and he smiled reluctantly when he saw Xia Xiaolan.
"Xia go with us."
Matthew next to Xia Xiaolan was directly ignored. Matthew looked at Xia Xiaolan pitifully, and Xia Xiaolan whispered: "You also follow along, and didn't say you are not allowed to go!"
The food chain is clearly divided. Hoffman is the partner of Kissinger's horse, she is the horse of senior architect Hoffman, and Matthew is the half of Xia Xiaolan's horse. If you want a horse to run, you have to To graze the horse, if you have something good, you have to bring your own horse-half a horse, because she and Matthew are both interns and cannot suppress each other at the level, and Matthew has not completely convinced her!
Three major firms gathered in Wilson Hotel.
No one knows, at this moment, the Wilson Hotel is still arguing about which firm's plan to choose.
The plans of the three major firms have their own bright spots. Forster, P&W and GMP, the world rankings may be a bit different. It is related to the development and operation of the firm and the date of establishment. When it comes to the strength of architectural design, no one is better than others. Bad!
When the competition is evenly matched, the decision on the success of the bid will depend on other factors.
Foster's offer was the lowest.
The P&W program is the most conventional and stable.
GMP... its quotation is lower than that of P&W. P&W is taking the route of luxurious design. It costs more and seems to be more secure after it is built.
A group of people discussed and discussed, and they all had their own ideas.
The people who want to vote for GMP are the least.
The corner of Harold's eyes twitched, and the result of this bid might disappoint Xia Xiaolan.
Harold himself liked the GMP program, but he couldn't tell whether it was a rational choice or an emotional tilt.
If it is emotion, it would be terrible!
How can such a project be emotionally controlled?
Therefore, Harold simply wants everyone to vote. The decision made in this way is the most fair and most conducive to the development of the Wilson Hotel.
Seeing that it was about to vote, a person in the conference room suddenly stood up:
"I have something to say about the choice of the scheme, I support the GMP scheme!"
Harold's expression was serious and he couldn't see the anger or anger: "You can speak, but it's best to be useful, because the people from the three major offices should have arrived at the Wilson Hotel by this time."
...
"Andrew, I thought you were not coming back today."
"Dick, you are here, and I will not be absent."
"Hi Home, how have you been recently?"
The giants of the three major firms sparked everywhere.
The three of them were very confident about the bidding, at least it seemed so, relaxed and confident, and greeted their competitors openly.
How can the true thoughts in my heart be seen by outsiders!
Matthew moved his tie, very envious.
"When will we become partners?"
This question is not easy to answer. Whether or not you can be a partner is not based on qualifications. Those who are incapable are still ordinary architects after 20 years, and those who have the ability to emerge quickly. There are cutting-edge groups in their early 30s, powerful groups in their early 40s, and some who only become famous in the industry after the age of 50...Xia Xiaolan doesn't know what kind of Matthew is.
"Mr. Andrew Kissinger has worked for GMP for 15 years."
Xia Xiaolan remembered the resume of Kissinger, the partner, and responded to Matthew in this way.
GMP Architects was founded in 1965. In 1975, Berlins Tegel Airport was opened as the first drive-in airport. The 10-year-old GMP office has become famous in the global architecture circle!
It is 1986. GMP has only been established for 21 years, and it has been well-known for 11 years.
Andrew has joined GMP for 15 years, and now he can become one of the partners of GMP. His career promotion experience must be a long novel with wonderful plots.
Matthew shut up immediately. GMP was not as large as it is when Andrew joined. Now it must be even more difficult to be a partner like Andrew.
Hoffman glanced at Xia Xiaolan and thought about studying Kissinger's resume. Is this because he wants to stay in the GMP office? Before the departure, Kissinger got the news that P&W had the upper hand in the bidding. There was little hope for this trip, but Kissinger refused to admit defeat until the last minute.
There is little hope of winning the bid, and Hoffman is now free to think:
Xia Xiaolan was so anxious that she didn't even finish her undergraduate degree in Architecture at Cornell. Now young people know that they have to find a way out for themselves.
But who doesn't want to stay?
Cornell University's undergraduate degree in architecture is very good, but every year there is a steady stream of students graduating, and it has to compete with other outstanding architecture graduates around the world. There are not too many who can enter the same level of GMP.
Let's take another look at what Xia's talent is.
The talent is good enough. It doesnt matter if she graduates or not. GMP can train her in a targeted manner... Hoffmans thinking is completely off the track, ignoring the intern and hating the intern. When considering allowing the intern to stay, Hoffman is a step Xia Xiaolan brought the pace to the step.
As for Matthew?
Hoffman didn't even think about it.
Hmph, how can a senior architect like him have time to pay attention to an insignificant intern.
You can manage interns with Grey!
A double standard like Hoffman can blow Matthew to death.
Fortunately, Matthew also doesn't know how to read minds. He was still there to discuss with Xia Xiaolan quite vigorously.
Click.
The door of the meeting room was opened.
Harold was at the forefront.
There were smiling faces on the heads of the three offices. Harold did not favor one another, but shook hands with them. He had the same attitude towards everyone. It was really hard to see who won the bid.
Harold took the envelope in his hand:
"This is the result of the vote."
He opened the letter, "We will select the most suitable plan from Foster, P&W and GMP. After discussion and voting at the Wilson Hotel meeting, the final choice is...GMP office."
GMP? !
The smile on P&W's Holm's face was a little frozen.
According to the previous news, the most recognized plan is obviously P&W!
Why did it become GMP when it was announced?
What did these shameless **** do! Holm looked at Kissinger, who was already smiling and clasped Harold's hands together again:
"GMP never disappoints the trust of customers! Oh, I mean Foster and P&W's solutions must also be great, but Mr. Harold finally chose GMP!"
Harold nodded very seriously, "Believe me, I was just as surprised as the GMP situation reversed in the last half hour."
Kissinger didn't believe it at all.
According to the news he received, the P&W proposal was more popular, but he did not expect that it was GMP winning the bid today.
Is it really a tilt of personal emotions?
Dick and Holm didnt want to stay here anymore. The two sides said a few words. Harold also sent the people from the two offices to the elevator door. When they turned back, Harold suggested: Im very happy to be with GMP. Cooperation, for a more pleasant communication between us, I would like to invite the design team to dinner tonight."
Kissinger naturally agreed.
On the other side, Hoffman and Matthew turned their heads to look at Xia Xiaolan at the same time, making her feel silly:
"Please don't do this, what does it have to do with me?"
Hoffman: Huh.
Matthew snorted from his nose: Ha ha!
