With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

As soon as Shen Ci finished speaking, a knowing glint flashed in Jiang Yuanliang's eyes. He put down his teacup and asked softly, "What? Are you interested in this Winter Olympics bidding event?"

Shen Ci's lips curled into a slightly sly smile. She neither nodded directly nor denied it. She wasn't interested in the project itself; she was clearly determined to get the project that the Li family valued—or more accurately, she was determined to sabotage it and prevent the Li family from getting what they wanted.

The Li Group has won two major national projects, each time causing its stock price to soar and making it extremely wealthy, thus increasing its power.

She couldn't intervene the first time, but this second time, she couldn't let Li Shi have her way no matter what.

She knew better than anyone that a powerful conglomerate like the Li family couldn't be brought down overnight. But she was young, with plenty of patience and time. The most painful thing was to slowly erode the Li family's strengths, and she would watch it decline bit by bit.

According to her own analysis, the two most important things for the Li family in the coming year are the research and development of high-end artificial intelligence and the bidding for Winter Olympics projects.

But the first thing was that the Li family could not make a profit, and she had intervened in this matter from beginning to end. She was "indispensable" in achieving this result.

Therefore, the most important thing is this second matter. The Winter Olympics projects will be the most lucrative and stable projects for the Li family in recent years. If the Li family can win nothing in this bidding, it will undoubtedly be an epic blow to them and will also lay the most important foundation for their subsequent plans.

Jiang Yuanliang didn't notice the fleeting coldness in his daughter's eyes, assuming she was simply curious about the new project. He patiently explained, "These national-level projects have extremely high barriers to entry. Ordinary small groups can't even get the chance to bid. You're used to being an independent investor, working alone. You definitely don't qualify to participate in projects that require corporate backing."

Shen Ci's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What kind of companies are eligible to bid? What are the specific criteria?"

"The most important thing is that the company is large enough, especially for construction groups. They must have enough experience in large-scale projects and a professional and large construction team. Qualifications, strength, and reputation are all indispensable," Jiang Yuanliang said slowly.

Shen Ci frowned slightly and nodded slowly. She knew that the Li family's main business was the construction industry, and they had undertaken many large-scale projects over the years, so their qualifications and experience were indeed solid—but besides that, didn't Uncle Yang's construction company also fully meet these requirements? Perhaps, this was where she could leverage their resources.

"Why are you suddenly asking about these things?" Jiang Yuanliang looked at his daughter's thoughtful expression, a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but his tone remained gentle. "Did a friend ask you to inquire, or do you have something on your mind yourself?"

Shen Ci raised her eyes, her gaze incredibly serious, and said, word by word, "Dad, I want to give it a try. Making money is secondary; I want to participate in such a big project and broaden my horizons."

Shen Jingjing had been listening the whole time, and when she heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help but gently remind her, "Aci, didn't your father just say that you are not qualified to bid for this kind of national-level project on your own?"

Should we start a construction company from scratch?

That definitely won't work.

But Jiang Yuanliang kept looking at Shen Ci, and saw determination in her eyes.

Without any verbal criticism or denial, Jiang Yuanliang pondered for a moment and then smiled and said, "You are quite clever. Projects like this are rare opportunities for major corporations. In any country, you might not see many national-level projects of this scale."

"Moreover, the profit potential of such projects is far greater than ordinary people imagine, which is a huge temptation for any company. Your ability to keenly seize the opportunities here shows that you have an extremely high sensitivity to profits, which is the best talent and the greatest advantage for an investor."

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a subtle hint of seduction, and asked again, "Really want to try?"

Shen Ci's eyes lit up: "Dad, do you have a solution?"

"I wouldn't call it a solution," Jiang Yuanliang chuckled. "If you really want to try, experiencing it would be a great experience for you, and from that perspective, Dad is very willing to support you."

"Thank you, Dad!" Shen Ci felt a warmth in her heart and was deeply moved. She had only brought up this matter with the intention of seeking advice and testing the waters, but she did not expect that her father would not only see through her thoughts at a glance, but also choose to support her without hesitation.

This is not an ordinary business transaction; it involves participating in the construction of a national-level project, which is of great importance to both the individual and the country.

But her father did not deny her at all.

Looking at his daughter's excited expression, Jiang Yuanliang's eyes were full of doting. He then said, "Jiangdong Group's construction sector has been deeply involved in the field of large-scale physical engineering projects for many years. We have the top construction teams and the most extensive experience in large-scale projects. As long as we are willing to participate in the bidding, winning the project is a sure thing."

Shen Ci's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why didn't you participate in such large-scale national projects when there were such good opportunities before?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanliang smiled faintly, his tone calm and composed, and said dismissively, "You can't earn all the money in the world; you always have to leave some opportunities for other companies."

For Jiangdong Group, such projects are certainly profitable, but by no means indispensable. Over the years, Jiangdong Group has firmly established itself as an industry leader, possessing substantial strength and a solid foundation. For them, such projects are merely icing on the cake. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises, even a small share of the profits can sustain them for several years, or even enable them to achieve leapfrog development. Jiang Yuanliang's reluctance to get involved in these murky waters reflects both his strategic vision and the confidence behind Jiangdong Group's strength.

“You have no experience in this area, so Dad will assemble a top-notch team of assistants to help you with this bidding process.” Jiang Yuanliang’s tone was gentle, but it contained an unquestionable trust: “As the head of the Jiangdong bidding team, Dad believes you can do it.”

Shen Ci's eyes widened in surprise: "Dad, aren't you afraid I'll mess this up?"

After all, this is no child's play, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

Jiang Yuanliang simply smiled gently: "No, with your father and Jiangdong Group backing you up, this matter won't fall apart in your hands."

"And with your abilities, plus the support of a professional team, Dad believes you can do this very well."
