Featured Photos

The survey personnel took the elevator to the 40th floor. When walking out, they saw the broker’s logo on the electronic screen next to the elevator.

Since the logo on the glass door was very eye-catching, the personnel easily found IB’s office.

They first saw the logo and the reception area. Since no one was there at the time, the personnel could not enter the office for a closer look.
