Ling's Contract Story
1	Ever heard of Borax, Wolfram, Bismuth or Xenon? In my opinion, they defenitely deserve more attention! Oh, by the way I’m Ling. Are you ready to help me explore these fascinating materials?
2	Teaching is my great passion and I’d love to show my university students the fascinating world of chemical elements. I’ve heard that you’re able to provide us with some sample supplies...
3	Great! Some of my students would like to research new pharmaceutical ingredients. Do you think you could get us some Bismuth too?
4	Oh, while we’re talking about medicine – Xenon may have a great use in anesthetics. Let’s test it out! (All under professional supervision, of course).
5	Perfect! For now, we’ve got just the right amount of samples. Let’s focus on finances. The National Research Institute promised us support so please, take care of the money transfer.
6	Ehm... Remember when I said that we’ve got enough samples? Well, not anymore! My dear students got a bit overexcited about the experiments and we’re gonna need a little refill.
7	I’ve got some wonderful news! We won the grant for expanding our university’s labs. However, we still need to cover some part of the expenses.
8	Materials are here, let’s start building!
9	Students are doing great in the new labs. But we mustn’t forget about safety! We can not risk any injuries during the experiments so we better search for a safer testing equipment.
10	The equipment I’m talking about is called Material Experimentester. These testing devices are made of the most modern materials, so here we go again: a batch of Bismuth, please!
11	We also need some Xenon. I’m sure you know the right people who could help us out.
12	Whether we like it or not, some classic materials will never be outdated. The last but not least resource is a bit of some good old Titanium!
13	Students are excited and so am I! We can’t wait to continue with experiments. I don’t want to sound pushy but... oh man, we better build the testers fast!
14	The Tech Expo Conference (T.E.C.) will take place soon. I’m not sure if I have mentioned my biggest passion besides teaching – my „child“ NeXtage. It’s a research company which was founded just recently but we already have a deal with Tech Expo!
15	The main sponsor of this conference is HYPERLOOP inc. But the best is yet to come: the Hyperloop founder Christopher would like to meet us in person! Could this get any more nerve-racking?
16	Oh, of course it could! I promised to take part in the organization team. What was I thinking? Let’s hope I’ll make a good impression on Christopher...
17	The expo center will need some touch ups before the conference starts and I promised to take care of it... Maybe with a little help from you?
18	I hope you like challenges because I’ve got a huge one for you – prepare the expo center for the conference! Luckily, we have enough of resources and the organizers promised to send us helpers.
19	I also promised arrange transport for our special guests and speakers. Make sure to book the best trains of your fleet!
20	Time for a bit of self-promotion. I’d like to spread the message about NeXtage a bit and my students promised me to spend some time at our PR stand. We’d also like to show visitors some experiments with the new materials...
21	Wolfram is cool but have you seen what Bismuth is capable of? We should definitely show it too.
22	I’d like to giveaway some promotional materials – but they really need to stand out. It won’t be cheap but let’s hope that it will impress the visitors! And mainly Christopher from Hyperloop.
23	We have a problem. The hostesses should have already arrived, but their flight got canceled! I’m sure you can manage to get them here fast and safely.
24	It's all starting tomorrow. I haven’t been this nervous since my final exams, ha ha! Is the PR stand ready? No?! Well then, what are we waiting for?
25	Ok, hostesses are here, students are well prepared, PR stand is looking marvellous (great job, by the way!). Let’s take a deep breath because I think Christopher just waved at me to meet him in the backstage...
26	First I thought it was scary... but Chris is a really nice guy! He’s even willing to invest into our project. Meanwhile, let’s keep on working.
27	There’s no doubt that Chris will be a generous supporter, but we have to stay as self sufficient as possible. Let’s fill the Borax stock a bit!
28	Students find the hyperloop trains really fascinating! Could you arrange a little ride for them?
29	We should take the NeXtage project to another level. How about brand new labs? Let’s get prepared!
30	I know that new materials are in, but we mustn’t forget about Cement. Otherwise, the walls will fall apart!
31	Meanwhile, Chris has sent us a little present. Actually, a HUGE present: we’ve got enough resources for the labs! Let’s start building now!
32	Labs are ready for the first experiments. My students would love to take a closer look at Bismuth. Do you think they can manage it on their own?
33	Oh, no. Maybe, it was too soon to let the students in the labs alone. I think we’re gonna need to fix some equipment…
34	I have a dilemma. Christopher gave me an offer: he’d like to fully invest into the NeXtage project. Long story short: he’d like to buy NeXtage. On one hand, I’m flattered. On the other hand: what if I lose it completely?
35	Christopher gave me time to think. Meanwhile, we have agreed on another project: a hi-tech hospital which will use the most modern technologies and materials to heal the patients.
36	Christopher has done his part, now it’s time to do ours!
37	Oh boy, I hate making tough decisions! NeXtage could grow so much faster with Christopher’s help but... we’ll have to make a lot of compromises. You know what – let’s boost our budget and then we’ll decide.
38	There’s no better distraction from unpleasant decisions than fundraising. And jogging. It always clears my head.
39	Wow, you’re really good at this! Let’s try a bit more. I do enjoy working with Christopher and I fully respect him. But... you know, maybe... just maybe we could make it on our own. Even Chris might appreciate healthy competition, right?
40	Everytime I run pass that old ruined playground I think about the time I used to play there as a kid. It’s a shame that nobody goes there anymore, isn’t it?
41	We’ve got some extra materials in our stock, so why not make our neighborhood a better place?
42	I don’t know how about you but sometimes, I miss a place to relax after a long day in the labs. Our new park is screaming for a quiet place!
43	Trust me, this is gonna be awesome. By the way: it’s nice to work on something else than experiments and labs for a change, isn’t it?
44	Oh, I forgot to tell you what we’re actually going to build right? Let’s call it a quiet place where I’ll finally be able to decide about Christopher’s offer…
45	Let’s get a bit more materials before we start with the construction. Agree?
46	I hope that people will be able to relax here. I’d love to stay here and chill but we’ve got no time for that!
47	Chris called so I had to decide. There’s so much we could get from Christopher’s investments but I can’t just give up on my project like this. We’ll keep on working together with Hyperloop, but NeXtage will remain ours.
48	Now we have to prove that we’re able to support NeXtage on our own. Tough times are coming, but we can do it!
49	Christopher admires our independence and courage and he’d love us to join forces on another project: a hi-tech Hyperloop station. That’s an offer we can’t resist!
50	Station is ready for the first trains to enter its rails. Grab champagne and watch!
51	We’ve learned so much from Christopher. Now it’s time to see if we can do things on our own! How does a NeXtage hyperloop manufacturing plant sound to you?
52	Who said it will be easy? We need a ton of new materials!
53	Oh dear, I forgot to tell you. We’ve got plenty of new materials but there’s nowhere we can store them! Let’s build a warehouse first.
54	Supplies, we’re ready! Whatever you bring here, the warehouse can handle it.
55	The competition is tough and if we really want to succeed, we must be unique. I want everyone to recognize our Hyperloops at first sight! Therefore, we’ll need a special design department.
56	Christopher offered me to help us find some talented designers. I don’t want to owe him anything, although he’d happily do it for free.
57	This looks really promising! A bunch of motivated, talented designers can’t wait to meet us. Please, make sure they arrive safely.
58	I’m pretty impressed by the designers! I’ll need you to take care of something while I consult the new train designs with them.
59	The next important building we must build is a prototype hall. I’m sure you’ll be able to organize all the necessities.
60	Soon, we’ll be able to construct our first new hyperloop models! How far are you with the hall?
61	It seems like you have taken care of everything! Now let’s quickly construct the hall so we can show our first prototypes to the world.
62	The best engineers from the world have sent us their applications - they would love to build the prototypes for us. Bring them on!
63	The engineers asked me to add some more final details to the prototype hall. We better not let them wait too long!
64	We’ve got a little problem - there has been a major blackout and we were without power for several hours! We should be better prepared for such cases, don’t you think?
65	A private powerplant? Well, I’ve got to say that you aren’t afraid to think big, ha ha. But why not? Let’s try if we could build one!
66	From now on, we’ll be always prepared! Just like in the good old scout days. Were you a scout too?
67	Our first hyperloop prototypes came out really well! We should definitely make more.
68	I think we’re ready for mass production. But do we have a proper factory?
69	Mass production is in full swing but where will we store all the trains? We should definitely build a NeXtage Depot.
70	My friend, it seems like we’re running out of cash. If you still have some savings, please help me out.
71	You’re simply brilliant! Now let’s hurry up with the depot - our precious hyperloops need a comfy home!
72	Demand for our trains is growing which is great but things are getting a bit out of our hands. We’ll definitely need more employees and offices to cover it.
73	I knew you would act immediately! That’s why business with you is a pleasure. I’ve already got a building plan for the offices. Do you have the materials?
74	We started with a NeXtage conference stand and now we’re gonna have our own offices. Isn’t that amazing? I wonder what’s gonna come next…
75	I think I have an idea, but I need to think it through. Meanwhile, boost our material stock and get ready for another challenge!
76	Time to go home to Neo Hong Kong! It’s getting serious - I’ve just found out that we’ve got some new competition! My old classmate Wang has decided to build a railroad empire too. We better expand our business in order to stay the best.
77	I’ve checked our supplies and we need a generous refill. Bring here a good shot of Xenon, my friend.
78	Have you seen the new train station in town? Wang is really determined. He hasn’t changed even a bit since high school. But we won’t let him defeat us, will we?
79	We’ve got the best resources to build the most modern hyperloop terminal in railway history. I can’t wait to finish it!
80	It’s the Year of the Dog, did you know? For me, it’s also the year of hyperloops. Let’s hope it’s gonna bring us luck!
81	This is unbelievable - look at this newspaper! Wang has built his own statue in the middle of the city. I think I’ve never met anyone more self-centered! But I have an idea - we’ll build something too…
82	… this will be our lucky statue. It’s the Year of the Dog, remember? And I’m sure that it’s gonna look better than that condescending snob Wang.
83	We’ve got an awesome terminal so let’s use it to the fullest! In case all the hyperloops are on the way, don’t hesitate to use diesels.
84	Our clients seem to be pleased, but the employees have a few remarks. They simply need more space! We mustn’t let them even consider moving to Wang’s firm. New modern headquarters will be a necessity.
85	What an awesome train fleet we’ve got! We definitely shouldn’t hide it. Let’s take our beauties on a ride!
86	In the meantime, I’ve prepared a building plan for the headquarters. We’ll definitely need more Xenon…
87	Let’s start with the construction. The employees can’t wait to move in!
88	Guess who won the best employer award? We did! Wang has a lot of work ahead now. We’ve got a bunch of new trains in our fleet - take them on a testing ride, please.
89	Our new head of marketing has come up with a new logo suggestion. And I really like it! When you’re done with hauling materials, check your mail.
90	Did you get my email? The logo is awesome, right? We’ll need a lot of titanium of the construction.
91	We’ve got high quality materials, we’ve got enough staff but we don’t have much time, so hurry up!
92	We’ve built a great business in this town. Now It’s time to do something for the citizens. I’d love to both educate and entertain them. Any ideas?
93	When I was a little girl, I loved to watch the stars before going to bed. The technologies are so advanced now that you can almost touch the sky! And I’m sure that other people would love to see it too.
94	I’ve found a great spot for the planetarium. Wang will be jealous for sure! Let’s send him an invitation for the opening ceremony.
95	Wang stopped by at the train event to wish me luck with my business. He said he’s been my greatest admirer since high school! I may have been a too harsh in the past, I must admit that. But don’t tell anyone!
96	What a night! Yesterday’s storm hit the town massively and there have been some damages to our property. Luckily, it’s nothing too serious and nobody was injured. However, we’ll still need to rebuild a few things…
97	Guess who I’m meeting today - my old friend Wang! He loved our planetarium idea and he’d like to join forces for some special event. I must admit I’m a bit sceptical, but let’s give it a try, right?
98	Wang’s idea isn’t that bad at all. Actually, it’s quite awesome! We’ll make a hyperloop train parade with free entrance for kids to show them our newest technologies.
99	Our train fleet is getting bigger every day. Pick our most amazing trains for this event!
100	The event turned out to be an amazing idea. Wang promised to supply us with the most modern and high-quality materials in exchange for cooperation in future. Everything turned out well, after all. Thank you for everything, my dear and don’t forget to visit our headquarters now and then!
