Chapter 425 Experienced Old Monsters
"Boss, if it doesn't work out, I'll go to the site and bribe the road designers who hope to win, and let them compete on behalf of the company?" Wei Liqun said cautiously, "This way we can win steadily, and the company will also have territory!"
Song He smiled and said in a confident tone, "Why are you spending that wasted money? Are you so worried that I will lose?"
Wei Liqun hesitated to speak, struggled for a long time, and finally chose to remain silent.
The boss wants to have his own way, what can he do?
Just leave it to fate!
The car turned around, drove into the parking lot, and arrived at its destination!
Luteng City Convention and Exhibition Center!
The majestic glass-walled building occupies a huge area. A red carpet has been laid out at the entrance. The bright red banner of "Urban Road Network Sandbox Competition" hangs high. People flow in continuously, and the scene is lively!
Song He put on a mask, sunglasses and a baseball cap to cover his face before getting out of the car and entering.
The layout inside the venue is similar to an indoor basketball court, surrounded by tiers of auditoriums. Countless young spectators are taking their seats one after another. Most of them are college students majoring in road design.
The audience was buzzing with excitement, and their tone could not conceal their excitement:
"I just saw Gustav in the parking lot! He looks the same as in the textbook!"
"I'll go! Don't scare me. How can He De in Luteng City deceive Gustav here? How can this competition be even better?"
"Debi! I saw Jiang Xiaoping!"
"I saw it too! I bet on her to win! She designed the roads in my hometown's high-tech zone! Very cool!"
"Hey! Is that Masanobu Sato who just entered the scene over there?"
"Holy shit, it's true! Isn't Sato the world champion in some kind of divine competition today? Why did he come to a small place like Midori?"
The audience was going crazy, it was noisier than the monkey mountain at the zoo!
As students majoring in road design, they saw too many characters in textbooks and too many legendary industry masters today. How could they not get excited and lose their composure?
In the center of the exhibition hall, there is a giant sand table ten meters long!
The sand table is the entire Dongcheng District of Luteng City, with all streets and buildings replicated. Several staff members are squatting in the sand table, carrying sacks, and constantly grabbing plastic cars from the sacks and placing them on the sand table road.
The area outside the sand table is the rest area for the contestants. There are dozens of small single sofas, each with a name tag attached. Participating designers are arriving one after another, looking for their own small sofa to sit on.
Song He glanced at the sand table as he passed by, found his seat, sat down and waited.
Although he was almost ready, when it came to the matter, his palms were really sweaty!
Who knew we would invite so many viewers! Is this kind of game interesting to watch?
Song He pulled up his mask and pushed down the brim of his baseball cap. As long as he didn't show his face, it didn't matter even if he overturned and lost. If people asked him when he went back, what would he say about the sandbox game? I do not know how?
Soon, the participating designers arrived, more than fifty people!
Before the competition started, Song He turned around to observe, and the designers' reactions were clear.
The top road designers are all busy making preparations at the moment!
Opposite him was a bearded man with a beard as thick as Tolstoy. Song He immediately recalled the player information he had read in the car, and he was definitely sure that this man was the famous Gustav!
Gustav is using a pencil to draw sketches on thick paper, like a free and uninhibited painter. He has designed road networks for famous urban renewal in more than ten countries. He insists on drawing each street bit by bit by hand. The manuscript can even be collected by some museums, which shows its high status!
Song He moved his eyes and quickly stopped again.
A few meters away, there was an old lady with silver hair, wearing elegant black clothes and white gloves, Jiang Xiaoping!
Almost all provinces in the country have asked her to design roads and buildings. She has been teaching in the architecture departments of major universities all year round. Many of the audience present have been her students, and she is considered a leader in domestic road design!
She didn't need any tools, she just stood with her hands behind her hands and stared at the sand table silently, like a master!
Song He's eyes moved again and caught the last opponent who could pose a threat, Sato Masanobu!
Sato Masanobu had the temperament of a tram enthusiast, and he wore a baggy suit slovenly. He held a small calculator in his hand, which seemed to have been bought from a middle school stationery store, and he was busy clicking on the calculator.
Gustav, Jiang Xiaoping, Sato Masanobu, Song He’s eyes only stayed on these three people!
These three are real rivals! They are ancient monsters with extremely rich experience, and every one of them is definitely not good at all!
Although there are some older players among the remaining players, they are far less impressive than the three old monsters.
They were also very self-aware and did not make much effort to prepare. Instead, they gathered together to greet each other and chat in a relaxed manner.
"Old Zhao, why are you here too?"
"Aren't you here to test the water? Come and take a look, there's no need to try, it's a fairy place!"
"Anderson! Long time no see! Why are you here to compete with Yaxing?"
"It's not about competition. I'm just here to be cannon fodder! I'm just traveling here!"
"Oops, our students are here to watch the competition today. I'm going to lose so miserably that my dignity as a teacher will be destroyed in public!"
"Don't worry, your students know how bad you are. They won't expect you to beat Gustav, let alone fight with Jiang Xiaoping, let alone Sato Masanobu!"
The players gathered together and laughed, with helpless bitterness hidden in their smiles.
The academic circle is like a fantasy novel. The strong is the strong, and the weak is the weak. In a situation where strength is overwhelming, the weak have no dignity at all!
Finally, the doors of the Convention and Exhibition Center are closed!
Magnificent music sounded, and Mayor Li appeared in formal attire!
There was a burst of applause on the court. Mayor Li strode to the sand table and picked up the microphone to speak:
"Dear road and bridge experts, dear road design college students, welcome to Green Vine!"
"This urban road network sandbox competition is jointly sponsored by Luteng City Urban Construction Management Bureau, Luteng City Highway Bureau, Luteng University School of Architecture, Luteng City Investment and other units!"
"I hope that by gathering the outstanding power of road and bridge experts from all over the world, we can contribute our wisdom and efforts to the renovation of the old city of Luteng City and the construction of Luteng City High-tech Development Zone!"
Mayor Li dragged out an accent, and the audience quickly burst into applause, pushing the atmosphere of the stadium to a climax!
Song He's palms are sweating even more!
In the past when he participated in similar occasions, he would eat snacks in the audience without any care, but now that thousands of people were watching, he couldn't relax at all and his heart was beating faster and faster!
"Now let me introduce the competition venue and competition rules!"
Mayor Li stepped into the sand table, and the contestants' eyes became serious and they listened attentively.
