money trouble

Chapter 190 Appetite
"Xiao Yao, you don't look good, so stay up all night. It's good to be young, and you have the capital to stay up. When I was young, I didn't sleep for 80 hours in order to catch up with the schedule. After that, I slept for more than 20 hours in a row. At my current age, even if I want to stay up late, I can’t stay up, my body can’t stand it.”

Qi Xie is someone who has been there, and he can tell the general idea by looking at Yao Xinlu's mental state.

Yao Xinlu was amazed in her heart. Facing this strong woman senior, she respected her from the bottom of her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Wu Qian's car approaching from a distance.

"Sister Qi, my boss is here."

Qi Jie turned his head and saw that the lava red Cullinan was very eye-catching. To be honest, this color is very aggressive and flamboyant, like a moving flame.

"Your boss's car is very particular." Qi Xie smiled.

Yao Xinlu smiled and nodded, thinking, this big boy is like this.

"Professor Qi, hello, hello. I'm sorry to trouble you for running several times." Wu Qian warmly shook hands with Qi Mei. He could tell from Qi Mei's simple attire that she was definitely a career-oriented woman. strongman.

"Wu Dong is young and promising." Qi Xie praised, definitely speaking from the heart, Wu Qian looks only 23 years old, even if the family paid him to be in charge of the construction of the racing track, it is absolutely necessary to have this responsibility not simple.

Yao Xinlu saw that Wu Qian was not in a hurry to ask about the acquisition of the video site, and she didn't talk too much. It was more important to talk about the current matter. After all, she was already busy there, and it didn't matter if she said it sooner or later.

"Let's gossip less, let's start right away?" Qi Xie said straight to the point. She was very busy, really busy, and she still had several projects in hand.In fact, she already has the kind of status that can put on airs, but she is very kind, as long as someone asks her to help design the track, she can't bear not to help.

After all, the racing culture of the Celestial Dynasty has just started, and there is a place to build a track, so how could she bear not to support it.Foreign designers of the same level as her charge a lot more than her, not to say that they are much better than her, but at a similar level, but they make their compatriots spend so much more money, Qi Yu feels uncomfortable.

"Okay. General manager Yao, call the relevant departments to prepare the terms and conditions documents. The first time I saw Professor Qi, I knew that it would not be wrong to entrust the design of the racing track to her." Wu Qian said, half truthful and half flattering, The flowery sedan chairs are carried by everyone.

Qi Xie's first impression of Wu Qian was indeed very good, and the title of the only one in the Celestial Dynasty was loud enough.Wu Qian believes that with Qi's years of preparation and the energy she has held back, the first F1 track in her career, or even the only F1 track, will definitely be designed wonderfully.

Qi Yu's thoughts are exactly the same as Wu Qian's. In today's general environment, the situation is not optimistic. She feels that the chance of designing an F1 circuit for the rest of her life is almost zero. This will be the most important part of her career. Pen.

Qi Xie will hand over all her skills since she started this career, and she has already prepared some amazing design points, just waiting for such an opportunity!
Yao Xinlu nodded, went to a distance and made a phone call.

Wu Qian and Qi Xie walked towards the far side of the airstrip, chatting while walking.

"Wu Dong, you said you want to keep the airstrip, how long do you need to keep it?" Qi Xie asked, this is the first question she needs to understand.

Wu Qian thought for a while. He checked the relevant information and learned about the take-off distance of some aircraft types. He said, "Now this airstrip is 3200 meters long. I don't think it is enough. It needs to be extended to 3800 meters."

Qi Xie stood still and looked at Wu Qian with some surprise. He wanted to build a 3800-meter airstrip, even if he didn't plan to buy a small plane.

"Wu Dong is very generous, okay, then I will design the racing track according to the 3800-meter airstrip. I will intercept a section of the airstrip as the longest straight road on the track. Airstrips are mostly constructed of concrete in China, but the track intercepts A section of the road needs to be paved with asphalt, after all, asphalt or concrete can be used for airstrips, and asphalt is definitely preferred for racing tracks.”

It was intercepted and spliced ​​together, Wu Qian felt weird, there was a feeling of nondescript, a sense of crudeness spontaneously emerged.Wu Qian wondered, "Then why not just build the entire airstrip with asphalt?"

Qi Xie smiled, and said in a tone of elder comforting the younger generation: "Wu Dong, I am helping you save money. The asphalt road is laid on the basis of the concrete road. That is to say, the cement road is After the concrete is poured, it can be covered, while the asphalt pavement is poured twice on the concrete foundation, so the cost of the asphalt pavement is higher than that of the cement pavement. And it is much higher!"

"Because Mr. Wu, what you want is not an ordinary asphalt road. The flatness of the F1 track is an absolute binding standard, so the control of the flatness is very strict. The entire F1 track must be paved with upper, middle and lower layers of asphalt , wherein, the lowest layer is a 10-centimeter asphalt concrete load-bearing layer, and its flatness is less than 8 millimeters.

In the middle is a 4 cm medium-grain asphalt concrete bonding layer, and its flatness is less than 5 mm.The top layer uses 4 cm dry asphalt mixture as the surface wear layer, with a flatness of less than 2 mm.The paved F1 track has no more than 3 unqualified points for the flatness test per kilometer, which is far higher than all roads and is the most stringent road. "

Qi Hao talked about some relevant knowledge, and finally made a summary with money.

"For example, if the airstrip is made of concrete, and the material cost is 1 yuan per square meter, then the material cost of the F1 track is almost 8 yuan! Let's calculate the cost of the airstrip based on the length of 3800 and the width of 45 meters. If It was laid with concrete, probably…”

Speaking of this, Qi Xie took out his mobile phone and called out the calculator to click, and then said: "The material cost should be around 9000 million. But if all of them are replaced with asphalt roads, the material cost alone will exceed 7 million.

If I take 1200 meters as the straight track on the track, and the remaining 2600 meters are paved with concrete, which can save at least 5 million in construction costs, so you should understand the gap.This is a very large sum of money! "

As a very responsible designer, Qi Yu will naturally state the approximate cost calculation clearly. A few hundred million is not a joke. How many projects are tens of millions in the end and become an unfinished project, she dare not do it casually Increase your budget.

What Qi Hao has to do is to save every penny for Wu Qian without lowering the track standard!

Wu Qian nodded seriously, looked at Qi Xie with admiration, and said, "Professor Qi is indeed professional."

Qi Xie shook his head and said: "I also overlooked one point, that is, maintenance. Although the maintenance of asphalt pavement is faster than that of concrete pavement, the maintenance price is directly proportional to the construction cost. I believe Director Wu can also understand this point. Understand. So the subsequent cost of asphalt road will also increase accordingly.”

Wu Qian said with a smile: "Professor Qi, I don't think we should just look at the cost of construction. We also need to consider the advantages and disadvantages. The expensive asphalt pavement must have its advantages, and the cheap concrete pavement naturally has its disadvantages, right?"

Since receiving the blessing of the Root of All Evil System, Wu Qian has completely realized a truth, that is, you get what you pay for. High prices may not necessarily buy high-end products, but low prices will definitely not buy high-end products!

"That's natural." Qi Yan said: "Concrete pavement maintenance is troublesome and time-consuming, and the disadvantages such as low friction coefficient in rainy days and high noise are the advantages of asphalt pavement."

As soon as Wu Qian heard it, it was true, and there was no such thing as cheapness for no reason.

"Let's do it in one step. I believe that Professor Qi will be more comfortable in designing it without considering the splicing and interception issues." Wu Qian said with a smile, either don't do it, or do it well. This is his consistent attitude in doing things now .

Qi Xie looked at Wu Qian seriously, and then said with a smile: "Okay, according to Wu Dong's arrangement, I really want to save money as the starting point. If money is not considered, it is naturally more appropriate to lay all the asphalt roads. Next I just want to ask Wu Dong about the overall shape of the track, what do you think?"

Wu Qian knew what Qi Yan was asking about. For example, the international track in Shanghai, the whole track is like a dancing "Shang" character. This is a landmark LOGO, which is very recognizable.

But Wu Qian also read the detailed information of Qi Yu, and knew about one thing in her career. In 2009, Edo City wanted to build a track, and wanted to follow the word "up" in the Shanghai International Circuit. Ask Qi Hao to design the track in the shape of the initial letter "E" of E.

At that time, Qi Yan directly rejected the proposal. In her opinion, the track is not a simple LOGO, and the track cannot be plagiarized.Edo City is the hometown of Genghis Khan, and the people there are people on horseback. Through the design of the track, the world should feel the historical leap of this city from the era of horseback to the era of racing cars.

In the end, Qi Yan designed the track into the outline of a galloping horse, which is absolutely wonderful!
"It can't be simply made into something like 'B', 'North', 'J', 'Beijing', without any creativity." Wu Qian thought hard in his mind, this may be his future business card, in the 600 million square meters Using billions of dollars to draw his favorite patterns on the earth requires careful consideration!

There was once a local tyrant who spent money to buy an island just to write his name on the island, saying that it was so that everyone in the space station could see his name. Wu Qian felt that his project was a little bit of that.

Wu Qian walked slowly towards the distance with a pensive expression on his face, and Qi Xie didn't urge him. This kind of thing can't be urged, and if he is dissatisfied, it will be very troublesome to modify later.Yao Xinlu had already finished the phone call, and the related matters had been progressing steadily, so she was waiting for Wu to sign and pay the money.

"Chairman Wu?" Yao Xinlu asked Qi Xie.

Qi Yao said: "I was thinking about the general shape of the track, and I asked Director Wu what he thought, and he was thinking."

Yao Xinlu knew what Wu Qian was thinking, and she also used her brain, hoping to find some ideas to provide Wu Qian with some inspiration. She frowned and walked slowly towards Wu Qian, then took out her mobile phone to find a pictures.

"Wu Qian, can you consider the elements in this smiley face logo?" Yao Xinlu put the phone in front of Wu Qian and said.

Wu Qian thought of his own names "W" and "Q" before, and he didn't feel very good. He thought of the initial letter "H" of happy, because happiness is the root of Wu Qian's control of the system of the source of all evil. He needs to use This idea has been carried out, and if possible, he will share it.

Wu Qian saw the picture on Yao Xinlu's phone, which was the logo hanging on the building, with a weird smiling face that conveyed cheerful emotions.

"Huh... this?" Wu Qian took the phone from Yao Xinlu and walked towards Qi Xie.

"Professor Qi, can you see if you can select some elements from this LOGO as the overall shape of the track? 'H' and 'S' represent the two words Happy and Source respectively, meaning the source of happiness and the name of our company. " Wu Qian asked.

Qi Hao has seen this LOGO before, and she also designs it. Although she and Suzanne from France are not in the same design field, art has something in common. She likes this LOGO very much. Unexpectedly, Wu Qian also plans to use this as a competition overall shape of the path.

"It can be used, the idea is very good, but I can't use all of it, I will simplify and process it. Is there any problem with the copyright of this LOGO design?" Qi Yan asked.

Wu Qiandao: "There is no problem. This LOGO was designed by a French designer. The copyright has been purchased. You can use it however you want."

Next, the three of them chatted about some related facilities. Wu Qian said that there is no need to set up too many stands, because the construction of this circuit has not obtained the permission of the FIA. Although the entire track is built according to the F1 standard, It may not be accepted by the FIA, and it is very likely that the F1 competition will not be held. Of course, those are not what Wu Qian wants, and it doesn't matter.

Wu Qian wanted to treat this place as his own paradise. If he could host the competition, it would be fine. If not, he would never force it. He also has other greater uses.

"Since only 5 grandstand seats are planned, the open-air ones are not considered. I can take care of the airstrip, but the design of the airport's supporting facilities needs Chairman Wu to hire Gao Ming. I'm not good at that." Qi Xie said very humbly that he knows how much he can do, and he can't do things that are not sure, and can't take money that doesn't belong to him.

Wu Qian thinks about it too. There are quite a lot of supporting facilities in the airport. In addition to the runway, there are also facilities such as the parking apron, refueling pad, control tower, navigation station, and flight control room. So many rich people have private jets and still park at big airports, because these aspects are very troublesome.

"Does Professor Qi have any friends who do related design and planning? If so, I will stop looking for them." Wu Qian asked.

Qi Xie thought that Wu Qian was very thoughtful, and she did have friends in this area, but if Wu Qian didn't offer it, she wouldn't recommend it either.

"Okay, I asked a friend to help me with the airport design. The cost will not be very high. After all, it is a private airport. Everything has been negotiated. We will talk about the design fee when we get the first draft. I will go back today. If there is something to do, we will discuss it." Communicate with us at any time." Qi Mi acted vigorously and was ready to leave after talking about the matter.

Wu Qian called to Qi Yu and said, "Professor Qi, if you can spare some time, I have a small event tomorrow, and you might be more interested."

Qi Xie turned around and raised his eyebrows, thinking, hey, this big boy is so funny, it whetted the appetite of my eldest sister.

"Wu Dong, tell me in advance?"

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile, and said: "I can't say too much in detail, I can only tell Professor Qi that a mysterious driver will come to help me test the lap time of the car tomorrow, and I have reserved the race at the Beijing International Circuit A very good driver, I believe Professor Qi will be interested in watching it."

If Qi Yu doesn’t love racing, how can she become a track designer? Without love, she can’t achieve the ultimate in a career. She has traveled to foreign countries many times to watch various car competitions, such as F1, Le Mans, Felwood Auto Festival, etc. She won't miss it.

"A very good driver, how good is it?" Qi Xie's interest was obviously aroused by Wu Qian, she asked with a smile.

Yao Xinlu also looked at Wu Qian curiously. She knew about the mysterious driver coming, but she couldn't figure out who it was.Only a very small number of people know about this matter, and measures must be taken to keep it secret.

Wu Qian smiled mysteriously, and said: "Then I really can't say, there is an agreement, haha. In short, it's enough not to disappoint Professor Qi."

Qi Xie looked at the time, raised his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll be self-willed for a while, according to Wu Dong's arrangement, and let's see the level of your mysterious test driver tomorrow."

Wu Qian said that she would help Qi Xie arrange a place to live, but Qi Xie declined. Time was running out. Although she would stay in the capital for one more day, the work still had to continue.She drove alone and took the first step.

"Professor Qi is really a happy person." Looking at Qi Xie who was driving away, Wu Qian sighed with emotion, then turned to Yao Xinlu and said, "How is it?"

Yao Xinlu knew that what Wu Qian asked was naturally about the acquisition of the video website, so she said, "Fortunately, the acquisition has been completed. The total cost is 7200 million, which is about 1000 million lower than expected. In this, Yuan Bingqing and her father made a lot of money. The power is mainly related to the issue of shares on the side of investors.”

Wu Qian took a deep breath, and then laughed a few times. The price to buy Yuan Bingqing's video website company is really a cabbage price. If it was at its peak, it would have to pay several times the price to buy it.

"Okay, that's great. All of you have contributed a lot to this matter, General Manager Yao, thank you for your hard work. I see that you are very tired. You must have been busy late last night. Do you want to take a few days off to rest? What?" Wu Qian asked, Yao Xinlu's complexion was not very good-looking, although the dark circles under her eyes were covered with cosmetics, they were still faintly visible.

Yao Xinlu shook her head and said: "I'm fine. The relocation work has already started, and the variety show team can do a simple integration with the video site in the later stage, and inject our own blood into those people. Yuan Bingqing doesn't like Will be in a managerial role and will only do technical work."

Seeing Yao Xinlu's haggard face, Wu Qian shook his head and said, "Don't go to the company this afternoon, go back and have a good rest. There will be a dinner party at the Colade Hotel in the evening to cleanse the staff of the filming team. If you rest well Already, let's go over and have fun together."
