Faced with this situation, Shen Bing was at a loss.
After all, their arguments were sound, and those really were the national regulations. He couldn't exactly make things difficult for them.
Left with no other choice, he asked the military to intervene. Phantom Immortal Technology also voluntarily pledged that, if the completed building failed to meet the standards he had described, the company would demolish it outright.
Only with a high-ranking official's backing and a written guarantee personally signed by Shen Bing did the fire safety review finally go through.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't approval. Instead, the review of the plans for Phantom Immortal Technology's Headquarters Building was effectively waived and folded into the final fire safety inspection.
As long as Phantom Immortal Technology could truly deliver the miraculous results it had described, special approval could be granted and a fire safety compliance certificate issued, even without fire escape routes.
Phantom Immortal Technology's last major undertaking was signing contracts to build geothermal power stations in Mianyang, Pan City, and other cities in Sichuan Province. Each location provided ten square kilometers of land, and each completed power station would have a generating capacity of at least ten million kilowatts.
As in Rongcheng, all this land was provided free of charge, and the grid purchase price remained 0.25 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
Just as Shen Bing had guessed, Rongcheng had been sent by the higher-ups to test the waters.
It had been a win-win arrangement from the start. Senior government officials thought Phantom Immortal Technology had gotten the short end of the stick, but Shen Bing knew he had landed an incredible bargain.
Meanwhile, Phantom Immortal Technology stepped up its purchases of rare metal materials and publicly announced plans to substantially increase production capacity for its Geothermal Power Generators.
