HLM -Chapter 1416 German Precision

Unfortunately, Wang Bo had already organized something similar back in China. Moreover, this time he wasn’t the only main actor—there were so many grooms and brides, all foreigners. He couldn’t be too autocratic.

A traditional Chinese-style wedding in New Zealand would certainly attract attention and spark discussion. But this wedding was being held in Sunset Town for a global audience.

Wang Bo still preferred a Western-style wedding, which would be more widely accepted. He felt that a bunch of foreigners dressed in traditional Chinese wedding attire wouldn’t be particularly fun.

“Is there really nothing suitable?” he asked, shaking his head in frustration.

“What?” Juan asked in surprise. “Do you mean it’s going to be a fight, boss?”

Wang Bo rolled his eyes. “I mean, isn’t there a single plan that meets our requirements?”

Atulu flipped through the documents, tossed the new proposals aside, and said, “This one won’t work either. It’s too ordinary, completely unremarkable.”

Wang Bo skimmed through the proposals as well, but as he looked, his eyes lit up. Seeing his interest, the others also started flipping through the documents.

Bowen said, “Atulu’s right. These wedding plans are all uninspired—castle, roses, red carpet, church blessing, fireworks. Isn’t that basically the same everywhere?”

Wang Bo replied, “Yes, there’s nothing new about them. But they do have one advantage: reliability!”

“This time, there are too many guests, even hundreds or possibly thousands. Under these circumstances, there can’t be a single flaw.”

Uncle Bing nodded. “Exactly. For our town, maintaining security for this wedding actually requires more effort than a boxing match.”

Wang Bo said, “Look, the proposal says that security will be handled by them. They collaborate with multiple international security companies and can provide a force of 200 security personnel.”

“We already have plenty of security ourselves,” Atulu said. “Police, auxiliary officers, and guards.”

Wang Bo shook his head. “This is a celebration, not a boxing event. Our police colleagues need to participate in the celebration, not be overburdened.”

Eva, who had been reviewing the proposals quietly, said, “Wang’s right. This wedding doesn’t need to be flashy or viral. As long as everything proceeds in an orderly manner, it will be a success.”

The proposal in question came from Germany. The wedding company was called Pink Floral Language. The name wasn’t very high-end, but the company was large, experienced, and had been established for half a century.

Wang Bo noticed that this company had once competed for what was claimed to be the world’s most heavily secured wedding—the wedding of Athena-Russell-Onassis and Alfonso-Miranda—but ultimately lost.

He had been following weddings recently, so he remembered this one.

The groom, Alfonso, was relatively unknown, a horse trainer from Brazil. The bride, however, was the granddaughter of a Greek shipping magnate—the magnate’s favorite descendant.

At that wedding, 518 security personnel were hired to provide full protection. A total of 750 guests were invited. For transporting the guests, 25 top-of-the-line armored vehicles were used.

Upon arrival, guests had to pass through two metal detectors and leave behind cameras, phones, and other items before being allowed entry.

Wang Bo asked Pink Floral Language’s designer, Adrian: “Your company lost the bid that time, correct? May I ask why?”

Adrian replied, “We designed an overly romantic plan. While the bride loved it, her grandfather and the groom didn’t. They felt it was too risky.”

“So this time you’ve learned from that experience?”

“Yes. We always take that lesson to heart. Weddings require romance, but more importantly, they need to be safe and reliable. It’s like marriage itself—romance is a seasoning, but reliability is the foundation.”

Wang Bo found this very agreeable. They looked at other wedding proposals, all of which were romantic but lacked reliability. Thus, Pink Floral Language gained the lead.

Wang Bo didn’t immediately announce the result. He wanted two days for discussion. In the meantime, he arranged for the wedding companies to enjoy leisure activities in Sunset Town as thanks for coming to bid.

Then he invited Adrian to fill in the details of the proposal. Adrian’s spirits lifted, realizing that his company was the most likely to win the bid.

Pink Floral Language had another advantage: they also had a pet company producing food, clothing, and accessories.

For the wedding, this meant that Wang Bo and Eva’s fur babies could be dressed up and participate.

“The clothes need to be custom-made, right?” Wang Bo asked.

Adrian smiled. “Of course. But we’ve already made a few sets. If you’re interested, we can demonstrate them now.”

Bowen asked in surprise, “You’ve prepared all this already?”

Adrian nodded politely. “We’re not just submitting a proposal. We’ve done our utmost to prepare all props that can be ready in advance.”

“If you don’t win the bid, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”

“Yes, sir. But first, there’s no reward without effort—hard work brings luck. Second, if we only submitted a plan without preparation, we couldn’t truly value the wedding. Now that we’ve thrown our hat over the fence, we must treat it with the utmost care.”

“Throwing the hat over the fence” is a French idiom from the Industrial Revolution. Farm youths wanted to work in the city but hesitated, unsure what lay beyond the farm fence. The solution was to throw their hat over the fence—forcing them to climb out to retrieve it. According to farm rules, leaving the fence without permission could result in expulsion.

The idiom is similar to China’s “burning the boats”—cutting off all retreat and committing fully to a goal.

Adrian’s colleagues brought the pet clothing. Wang Bo asked, “How did you make clothes that fit our pets without measuring them? Honestly, our little troublemakers have odd body shapes.”

The designer smiled. “Who says we didn’t measure them? They were easy to approach. When our costume designer visited recently, she interacted with them and modeled the clothes accordingly. Unless they grow significantly in a month, the clothes should fit perfectly.”

Wang Bo was impressed. He had heard of German meticulousness before, but now he saw it firsthand. A wedding’s preparation handled with such flawless precision by this German company was truly exemplary.
