The hand of the city covers the sky

The day of formal voting is getting closer and closer, and it seems that success is getting closer and closer. Lin Shixuan's team is immersed in joy, and they start to figure out what position they can get after Lin Shixuan is elected.

Only Shi Haodong had always had a premonition that Guan Jiangnan would never admit defeat so easily, and would definitely find a way to recover from the decline. Therefore, the closer the voting day was, the more cautious he would be.

Since Lin Shixuan is the core figure in this campaign, her safety is the top priority. Shi Haodong not only told Lan Ying that she must work hard to protect Lin Shixuan's safety in the next time, and secretly sent The two teams of Dongbang Juniors work in 24-hour shifts to ensure Lin Shixuan's safety.

As for the casino, the design competition has reached the final stage. That night, Shi Haodong went to the playground to practice and was talking with Xiang Yuchen in the living room on the first floor when he received a call from Xu Qing.

"Hey, tomorrow is the quarter-finals. Are you busy tomorrow? If not, accompany me to the selection tomorrow."

"Is it the quarterfinals tomorrow, so soon?"

"It's not fast, it's been more than a month. This time I asked the participating designers to redesign the plan, with a special emphasis on making them pay attention to originality. I don't know if there will be any refreshing works tomorrow."

During this period, although Shi Haodong was busy with the mayor's election, he occasionally went to learn about the design competition. Up to now, he has seen all the design drawings of the top [-], but he has never found what he likes. design plan.

A few days ago, when he was on the phone with Xu Qing, he mentioned the issue of the design competition. After hearing Xu Qing say that the top fifty designers were pretty good, but there were too many traces of following suit and imitation, Shi Haodong casually said, Let these designers redesign and see if they can find a satisfactory solution.

At that time, he just said it casually, and then forgot about it. He didn't expect Xu Qing to really do this.

At this time, after hearing what Xu Qing said, she became interested, and quickly said: "Okay, let's go to the gaming company tomorrow to have a look."

"Well, I'll ask Xiaogui to pick you up by car tomorrow. By the way, how are you thinking about the loan?"

After thinking about it for a period of time, Shi Haodong finally decided to adopt the second plan. After all, if Jinshan Bank is allowed to own the equity of the casino, the casino will no longer be purely his own, which is inconsistent with his original intention. Banks cannibalize the risk of making a wedding dress for someone else.

Although if you do this, if something happens, you will lose everything, but if you want to develop, how can you not take risks?

Immediately said: "Let's meet and talk."

Afterwards, Shi Haodong called Lin Shixuan and told Lin Shixuan that he would not go to promote with them tomorrow. Now that the Jiangnans have settled down, it doesn't matter if Shi Haodong arrives, and Lin Shixuan didn't say much. agreed.

Early the next morning, Xiaogui drove to pick up Shi Haodong. After Shi Haodong and Xiaogui met, Xiaogui said that Xu Qing had already gone to the gaming company, so Shi Haodong and Xiaogui rushed to the Boao gaming company .

When they arrived at Boao Bocai Company, after Shi Haodong and Xu Qing met in the general manager's office, they looked at the design drawings of the eight designers.

Shi Haodong looked at it for a while, saw Xu Qing's concentration, and saw that her stomach was slightly protruding, and felt a little distressed, so he put down the blueprint in his hand, walked over to hold her hand, and said a few sweet words.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I've already assigned most of the work to the heads of the various subsidiaries. It's very leisurely. You don't have to be so surprised."

Shi Haodong said: "That's good, I'm afraid that you work hard and don't take care of your body."

Xu Qing said: "The company is my own, no matter what, I have to keep an eye on it. Fortunately, I won't have to be so careful in a few months." As she spoke, she rubbed her stomach, and her face was full of happiness.

Shi Haodong put his head on Xu Qing's stomach, and said, "Let me listen first to see if this little guy is naughty or not!"

Xu Qing said angrily: "It's only been a few months now, how can it be so fast?"

Shi Haodong straightened his head and said with a smile: "When this brat is born, I will definitely beat him hard."

Xu Qing said: "Why are you beating him so well?"

Shi Haodong said: "He is the one who made my wife so tired, if I don't beat him up, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "I just like to talk nonsense, I'm afraid he is going to be born, why don't you treat him like a baby?"

Shi Haodong chuckled, turned behind Xu Qing, put his head on her cheek, and said, "How is it? Have you found someone you like?"

Xu Qing picked up the three design drawings and said, "I've read them, and these three are quite innovative, can you take a look?"

Shi Haodong smiled and said: "I don't understand, what can I read?" Having said that, he took the three design drawings from Xu Qing's hand and read them.

Xu Qing said angrily: "You man, I don't know your mother well, I don't understand anything, in fact, I have more ideas than anyone else, and the ideas you came up with at the critical moment are amazing, and you still pretend to be in front of me."

Shi Haodong chuckled, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "It's still my wife who understands me." Speaking of the word "wife", he couldn't help but think that Xu Qing is pregnant now, and the date of the presidential election has not yet arrived. , the method of amending the Marriage Law could not be implemented. Considering Xiang Yuchen's factors, he couldn't marry her, and he felt a little guilty, and said: "I want to let you have a child out of wedlock, I really wronged you."

No matter how free and easy Xu Qing is, she will inevitably be a little frustrated in this section, but she pretended to be magnanimous and said with a coquettish smile: "Isn't it the same for us to make up in the future? Anyway, you won't leave me alone."

Shi Haodong said: "How could I leave you alone? Even if the whole world doesn't want it, I still want you."

Xu Qing said: "That's fine. You can see if there is any suitable one."

Only then did Shi Haodong look at it seriously.

When Shi Haodong was watching, Xu Qing said, "What kind of casino do you have in mind?"

While watching, Shi Haodong said: "I can't describe exactly how it is, but I think our ideal is this casino, no matter what it is, it must be built magnificently and eye-catching. It should be both a casino and a tourist attraction. "

Xu Qing said: "Your heart is really not small. It is estimated that the construction of the casino alone will cost one billion, and I don't know how many years it will take to pay back."

Shi Haodong smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, we are still young, we can afford to wait, maybe the casino's business is very good, and we can make back our money in a year or two."

When Shi Haodong was talking, he had already looked at one planning drawing and felt dissatisfied, so he looked at the second one, which felt right. This drawing showed a skyscraper, and the entire building The edges and corners are clear, and the lower part is straight. Starting from the middle position, it slopes upwards slightly, and when it reaches the top position, it suddenly gathers in the middle, and finally condenses into a bundle of lines, which looks like a sharp sword thrusting there from a distance. Majestic.

"I guessed that with your personality, you would probably like this design plan."

When Xu Qing saw that Haodong's eyes were attracted by this blueprint, she said with a smile.

Shi Haodong smiled and said, "Excluding personal preference, this design is really good."

Xu Qing nodded in agreement and said: "This design plan is indeed very good, but if it is built according to this plan, it will require a huge amount of funds. I am afraid that the one billion I mentioned earlier is still less."

Shi Haodong frowned and said, "What? Isn't one billion enough?"

Xu Qing said: "This designer is very bold. The initial design floor is 98 floors. Based on the cost of several skyscrapers in China, I'm afraid it can't be done without 50 billion."

Shi Haodong took a deep breath, 50 billion, he didn't even dare to think about it before, and then pondered: "If it costs 50 billion to build a building, I will even mortgage all the entertainment of Huaxing City Transportation Company and Dongbang." I can’t borrow so much money for a place, and the budget is not enough.”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "That's right, so unless the floor is lowered, otherwise this plan can only be discarded." After pondering for a while, she said: "I don't think it's better than this. I'll go see the designer and talk to him, and see if it can be improved." We can’t modify the plan and lower the floor.”

Shi Haodong is a perfectionist. If he doesn't do it, he must do his best. If the floor is lowered, it will be difficult to show the majestic momentum of this building. Don't panic, let me think about it."

Among the loan plans discussed with Jinshan Bank, the second set of plans staked on the casino operating rights and the Huaxing City Transportation Company, which would allow one billion more loans, plus the 23 billion that Donghua Group could obtain as a mortgage on all assets, for a total of 33 billion. 20 million, which is about [-] billion less than the cost of building this building.

In addition, after the building is completed, it is necessary to purchase facilities, interior decoration, etc., and the gap is even greater.

Faced with such a large funding gap, Shi Haodong really couldn't think of a solution, and he was determined not to sell the casino's equity. Some heroes couldn't help being short of breath, sighed, and said, "Let's look at other solutions." After speaking, he looked again. The third plan, this third plan is also very brilliant, but it doesn't have the kind of vigor that Shi Haodong wanted, so it is inevitably a fly in the ointment.

The two sat in the office for a while, and several persons in charge and judges who were in charge of organizing the design competition came to meet the two and ask for their opinions.

After listening to the opinions of the judges, Shi Haodong and Xu Qing discussed with everyone and decided on the spot for the final four.

In the subsequent process, Shi Haodong was a little absent-minded, and the question of what to choose was always lingering in his mind.

It was already evening when he came out of the Bo'ao Bo Gaming Company, so Shi Haodong and Xu Qing went back to Xu's house and had dinner at Xu's house.

During the meal, Xu Qing saw Shi Haodong's absent-minded look, and knew that he was still thinking about building a casino, so she said, "Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold." As she spoke, she took a piece of food for Shi Hao East.

Shi Haodong calmed down and concentrated on eating with Xu Qing. After the meal, Xu Qing asked Shi Haodong to go for a walk with her.

Shi Haodong helped Xu Qing walk in the garden for a while, Xu Qing said: "I know you want to build a casino that attracts the world's attention, but we have to do what we can. Let's not say that we can't raise so much money at all. Even if it is really built according to that design drawing, we simply cannot open so many casinos, which is also a waste of resources, should we rent them out? I am afraid this is also against your original intention."

Shi Haodong seriously thought about Xu Qing's words. Xu Qing was right. This skyscraper is expected to have 98 floors, and the space that can be used is very large, and the casino can't use that much at all.

Seeing that Haodong was still pondering, Xu Qing said, "Currently our focus is on the mayoral election, the loan and the construction of the casino. Let's talk about it after the vote."

Shi Haodong thought that the mayor's election was approaching a critical moment, and he really needed to put up all his energy to deal with it, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, anyway, the voting day is coming soon."

Xu Qing said, "There shouldn't be any problems with the campaign."

Shi Haodong said: "Currently, Lin Shixuan's support rate far exceeds Guan Jiangnan's, so there is no problem for now."
