Chapter 251 CAIC
The opening of the Glen Waverley Sihai branch was not grand, but just a simple ceremony with all the Sihai employees.

We took a staff photo, set up a table at the door, gave free desserts to passers-by, along with some brochures, and then started working.

Xia Lian did a good job. She talked with several companies in the surrounding area and got the order directly at a suitable price.

In Australia, the company's cleaning business has been handled by several large cleaning companies, but the employee turnover rate is very high, mainly due to Australia's frequent wage increases and strike activities.

These factors caused companies that needed cleaning services to suffer, and they were eager to find a more reliable partner. Sihai quickly impressed these companies and met their needs with its favorable prices and the reputation of Chinese people for high efficiency.

Fantastic Services, Whizz, Maid2Match and MyHome are all well-known cleaning companies in Australia.

Maid to Clean is the largest cleaning company in Melbourne, but due to its high fees, it mainly focuses on the high-end market.

This has resulted in its business scope being limited, mainly concentrated in urban central areas.

For remote areas, the company usually only accepts large orders, such as large cleaning projects such as high-end villas and apartments.

The internet cafe business is good, with the Boxhill store earning around $100,000 a month, thanks to a few popular games that require top-up.

The City store run by Wang Dalu is doing even better, with sales reaching over 150,000.

Chen Xi secretly thanked Australia Infrastructure in his heart. Nowadays, all families use TPG's ADSL2, and a small number of families use Oputus's ordinary broadband, which may not be as good as ADSL2 because of frequent disconnection.

Currently, only commercial locations such as Internet cafes and office buildings are equipped with high-speed fiber optics.

The situation in Australia remained like this until Chen Xi returned to China, so he didn't have to worry at all that there would be few customers in the Internet cafe during this period.

Mid May.

City, Rialto Tower.

"Gosh, isn't it a bit too grand to set up your office here?"

In the spacious and luxurious office, Chen Xi sat in the boss chair and turned around with satisfaction, while A Lin sat leisurely at the table, smoking a cigar.

"Everyone has smoked this stuff, and they are just like financial tycoons."

"Try it. This thing doesn't cost much. The ones sold outside are expensive and they are just trying to rip you off. I bought this from a friend."

A Lin handed Chen Xi a cigar. Chen Xi took a few puffs and felt that the taste was too light. He had never been very interested in cigars, but when he was playing at Sun Cheng's house before, he saw that Sun Cheng liked to smoke cigars, so he smoked a few times.

"this is for you."

There was a file bag on the table, and Alin patted it gently with his hand.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, picked it up and opened it.

Inside is a bunch of files.

CAIC is an investment company set up by Alin, in which Chen Xi holds a 34% stake.

"What are you thinking about? Don't we already know what happened? Besides, you've already paid for it."

"I was thinking, with such a big gift, should I not sell myself?"

"You're overthinking it. If you want to leave, no one will stop you. Your goal is in China. Brother Feng and I both understand. He is also planning to continue cooperating with you after you return to China!"

Hearing A Lin's words, Chen Xi smiled.

No matter what Feng Jialun wants to do, as long as he can make money, it's fine.

Maybe there is something special about me!

After all, the family has a lot of resources, and maybe others want to use this to plan bigger things.

Just like this auto parts city project, although Feng Jialun could also go to Zhang Wu to discuss it himself, things might go more smoothly through Chen Xi's introduction.

"Come on, after you finish your coffee, I'll take you somewhere to have a look!"

Alin waved his hand and drank the cup of coffee on the table.

Footscray is a district west of Melbourne. The western district is currently undergoing development and construction. The originally desolate place has gradually become popular, and a large number of companies and Vietnamese people have begun to migrate here.

Because the housing prices are super cheap, Asians who cannot afford to buy a house have come here to buy houses. A house here is only slightly more expensive than the piece of land in Balwyn that Chen Xi bought.

In his previous life, the children of his employees bought houses here. Although the price did not rise sharply later, it still doubled.

There are many second-hand car dealerships and car rental companies nearby. Due to the good location and cheap rent, there are many large warehouses here.

On an empty piece of land, a large number of workers are constructing a huge building.

The building is already of a certain size and looks like it has been under construction for a long time.

Given the speed of construction in Australia, it usually takes quite a while to reach this stage.

The building looks like a large shopping mall with a multi-storey car park and a series of shops around it.

"How big is this? It must be more than 50,000 square meters!"

"More than 80,000 square meters, the future Mocun Auto Parts City!"

"Damn, it's so big. From the sound of your voice, you're going to build it in more than one place!" Chen Xi was shocked. You know, the IKEA in Mo Village is only about 50,000 square meters. This place is much bigger than the IKEA in Mo Village.

"Of course. Australia has so many cities and so much land."

"This doesn't look like it was just built. It's almost finished."

"Well, a group's funding chain was cut off before, and they were in a hurry to sell this place. We bought it a long time ago."

"No wonder Feng Jialun was so eager to get me on board." "That's not just a..."

"How much do you know? Why don't you confess quickly?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, hahaha!"

The two chatted as they walked, and Alin took a safety helmet and put it on him.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a call."

At this time, Alin's cell phone rang and he immediately ran to the side. It seemed like a very important call.

Chen Xi looked at everything in front of him, seemingly unable to believe that Feng Jialun was going to build up the auto parts city in such a short time.

He had wondered before whether it was too hasty to contact his uncle now, after all, things had not been finalized yet.

He originally expected that the construction of the auto parts city would take at least 1-2 years, and its scale would only be like the Victoria Market, simply built with a few sheds.

However, he was somewhat caught off guard by the generosity displayed by Feng Jialun.

"Hey, you! What are you doing here during work hours? You're not even wearing your work clothes. What a joke."

"We have to take care of all of you Chinese people. This is Australia. We are an excellent construction team. Although we are working on a construction site, we still have to pay attention to our image and wear work clothes. Why are you building so fast? It should be afternoon break time now..."

"Yes Yes!"

A Chinese man and a white man walked over. The one who yelled at Chen Xi loudly was the Chinese man, who seemed to be the person in charge.

The Chinese guy seemed to be a subordinate of the white guy. He had a respectful look on his face and communicated in the plastic English of the construction site, which sounded a bit awkward.

"I'm talking to you! Who hired you here? Why do you look unfamiliar, with delicate skin and tender flesh? You don't seem to be from the construction site, and why are you wearing a safety helmet? Are you a reporter?"

The Chinese man who was speaking was a square-faced uncle with dark skin. He obviously looked like someone who worked on construction sites all year round. He was no different from the workers around him.

As he got closer, the more he looked at Chen Xi, the more strange he felt; he looked completely different from the people on the construction site.

The white ghost was a sturdy man wearing a blue suit and a safety helmet on his head. He looked like an office worker.

"Are you from the construction site? If not, leave immediately." Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, he frowned.

“I’m not a worker…”

"Is this the place you come to? Where did you get the hat? I said that this place should be enclosed with a fence. All construction sites in our China are like this." The square-faced man interrupted Chen Xi.

"What are you talking about? Speak English!" The foreign guy in the suit couldn't understand Chinese at all. He yelled at the square-faced man next to him with some dissatisfaction.

"Fuck you! You damn foreigner! I asked him to get out!" The square-faced man switched between two languages ​​quickly. After cursing, he explained respectfully.

"What's going on?" At this time, Alin also noticed this side and ran over immediately.

"This guy sneaked into the construction site... Is he your friend?" The foreigner was not a fool. He reacted quickly before he could finish his words.

"Well, this is our CAIC's shareholder, XI." Alin explained to the two.

"This is Rawlins, the manager of AMA Construction. This is Luo Hang, a leader in the construction team from China, managing part of the construction."

Alin pointed at the man in the suit and the square-faced man again.

"Well, China's construction team is still very excellent. You should always listen to their opinions..." Chen Xi put his hands behind his back and started teaching Rawlins. This guy seemed to look down on the Chinese team.

Although Australia is very good at safe construction and the use of various machines, its construction efficiency is as slow as a turtle.

Rawlins's slow construction is nothing more than a desire to charge more money. The Australians charge by the hour, and the longer they delay, the more money they earn. Anyway, it's fine as long as the project is completed within the contract time.

"Yes, yes!" As an investor, Rawlins didn't dare to offend him, and quickly nodded, imitating Luo Hang's actions. This made Luo Hang secretly happy. The two teams had completely different ways of doing things, and many conflicts had arisen during the construction.

As an outside team, they have been cooperating very well with the locals, but those foreigners are still aggressive. Today they finally got a chance to show off.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

"Come, I'll lead the way. Watch your step."

Faced with Alin's request, Luo Hang naturally did not dare to disobey and quickly made a gesture of invitation.

"Be tougher in normal times and show those foreigners what China's construction speed is like! Make us Chinese proud."

"understand!"

Chen Xi said something to Luo Hang, who nodded vigorously. Although he didn't know how this young man became a shareholder, Luo Hang felt that what he said made sense. It was time to let those foreigners see the speed of China.

That foreign guy Rawlins actually knows nothing and can only do superficial work. Luo Hang has long been fed up with the blind orders of this layman.

Now that he has the support of his financial sponsor, he can fight back openly in the future.

"Boss Feng said that the brothers should work hard and he will not treat you unfairly."

"okay!"

As soon as A Lin finished speaking, Luo Hang patted his chest. Chen Xi seemed to have grasped some information from his words.

"This place was designed as a shopping mall before, and now it has just been completed. It was originally intended to be used to sell furniture, a big brand from Ruidian like IKEA..."

Inside the mall, Alin introduced the place to Chen Xi as they walked.
