Coquettish Rebirth

"Mr. Jia, such... such a building with a height of more than 800 meters may cost an astronomical figure! It may be completely unaffordable for a domestic enterprise!" At this time, one of the four designers, who is a little older, reminded Jia Hongjian. Looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he couldn't bear to break Jia Hongjian's "delusion".

"Really, how much will it cost?" Jia Hongjian asked after taking a sip of water. "So, for example, our Jinmao Tower used 50 billion yuan. Do you understand 50 billion yuan? If you want to build a building with a height of more than 600 meters, the money used is not 70 billion yuan, but it may rise to 100 billion yuan. This is the level of Yuan! Really, I think that the construction of this level should be invested by Zheng Fu, and the personal company really can't afford it..."

"100 billion yuan?" Jia Hongjian was stunned for a moment, "So cheap? Only 600 billion yuan for 100 meters?" Cheap" instead of "expensive", he is still continuing to persuade Jia Hongjian, "Really, the 800-meter one is even cheaper, so... you said it was cheap?" At this time, the middle-aged designer himself I feel wrong, how can I say I am wrong?Originally it was meant to be expensive, but how can it be said to be cheap? Could it be that Jia Hongjian just said the word cheap?

"Yes, the 600-meter-high one is only 100 billion. My family can make two now." Jia Hongjian nodded solemnly.The middle-aged designer opened his mouth wide. He tried to speak several times, but he couldn't speak for some reason!

"No objection? Well, please go back and make a rough estimate. Besides, the design company of Jinmao Tower is foreign? Can you contact them for me? I want them to help me with you To be a preliminary consultant, is it necessary to have a specific design drawing before you can have a project budget? No? You can call for bids first? Thank you, let’s go slowly.” Jia Hongjian was simply serving tea to see off the guests at this time. !

After a few designers walked out of Huaxia Hi-Tech in a daze, the middle-aged designer slowly came back to it, but when he turned his head and looked at the two-story building of Huaxia Hi-Tech behind him, this huge The contrast made him suddenly speechless again!Several young designers followed the eyes of the middle-aged designer to see the two-story building, and thought of Jia Hongjian's way of seeing 200 billion as nothing... 200 billion and the small building in front of him.No matter how you look at it, you can't fit together!

But no matter what, these people dare not persuade Jia Hongjian to invest too much now.Soon, they contacted the main designer of the Jinmao Tower - som Architects in Chicago, USA.Speaking of this som firm, it is really a top design firm in the world.It is also the largest architectural design firm in the United States!The body of this design firm, or the headquarters is in Chicago, but in addition to Chicago, it also has branches in New York, San Francisco, Portland, Denver, Los Angeles, Houston, Boston and Washington, and there are also offices around the world. More than 1800 designers and engineers are their employees!Even the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in later generations was designed by this som company!

The person who came this time was an American named Adrian Smith, who looked in his 40s and 50s, and there was an interpreter behind him.At the same time, I followed the middle-aged Chinese designer who came last time. "This Mr. Adrian Smith is one of the senior partners of Som Company. He has been in the architectural design industry for almost 20 years..." After shaking hands with this Mr. Smith, the foreigner asked directly in surprise: "Mr. Jia, I heard that your company wants to build a building over 800 meters?"

After seeing Jia Hongjian nodded, this Adrian Smith said in surprise: "Young gentleman, I hope you understand that there is no building over 800 meters in the history of mankind! To be exact, there are still buildings in the world. No single building is more than 500 meters! Even the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers under construction. It is only 450 meters high! I ask you to understand that human beings are still focusing on 500 meters in the history of skyscraper design At that time, the height of 800 meters you proposed...wouldn't it be a bit too radical? If you want to be the first in the world, there is no need to exceed 800 meters, and it is enough to exceed 500 meters. In fact, as far as I know, you are staying in China now They are planning to build the tallest building in the world. It is said that the goal is to exceed 500 meters... But I personally think that their design goal is only a few meters higher than 500 meters, and generally it will not exceed 510 meters... So if you guys are number one in the world, how about we design a building a few meters taller than them?"

"What do you mean, som can't design a building with a height of 800 meters? Or...Your som, the number one in the world, doesn't really have the guts to raise the finish line from 500 meters to 800 meters?" Jia Hongjian was very provocative at this time. asked. "Of course not!" Adrian didn't realize that Jia Hongjian spoke English just now. At this moment, he justified his words: "Of course our som is the best design company in the world. If there is Who can design buildings over 800 meters, it must be us in the future! But Mr. Jia, I want to remind you here. The support under the ground in Shanghai is not good. It is very, very difficult to build structures over 800 meters, and even possible It is said that this is the biggest challenge and most likely the biggest disaster in the history of architecture! Let me remind you personally, what is the concept of a building over 800 meters, it is very likely that their building itself weighs more than 100 million tons! And you Shanghai But the underground in Pudong is as muddy as Chinese tofu! You don’t want to put your building over 800 meters on top of a Chinese tofu? Wait, you can speak English? That’s really good! But let’s talk Come back. Even if we use various technologies to get the design, so that the building can stand there stably for 80 years or 100 years, but do you understand that a tall building that is almost twice the height of the world's tallest building requires various technologies To what extent? Even concrete pumps can't send concrete to such a high altitude! The construction industry all over the world has to develop the next generation of machines for your 2 meter plan! So even if it is feasible, it may have to wait until 800 It will take 10 years or even 15 years to start construction, is this acceptable to you?"

"Then you have to suggest that if it is in Pudong, it is best to build a building with a height of 500 meters?" Jia Hongjian seems to have restrained his ambition a little bit now. "Not necessarily, 600 meters can also be tried, but the 600 meters may have to wait for a few years, after all, the underground here in Shanghai is full of tofu..." Adrian Smith explained.

"Then what if we move the construction site out of the urban area... For example, build an artificial island on the sea? Reclaim the land to create an artificial island, and then we build a building over 800 meters on the artificial island?" Jia Hongjian said in When I said this, it didn't seem like I was joking at all, but this kind of request that broke through the imagination of professionals really made Adrian Smith a little dumbfounded—"Sir, I heard you right, you are asking us to Go to the sea to reclaim land, and then build a building over 800 meters on this land? In this way, although it is a bit far away, it is not a big problem for employees to commute to work. I heard that you want employees to live directly in the building Inside, but in this case, who are you going to lease and sell your building to when it is completed? You can take your company to the sea, but your company may not go to the actinium...they still want to be in the city center. So if this is the case, the investment of your company can be said to be very difficult to recover..."

Well, this probably means that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.There is no way to build a building over 800 meters in Shanghai?Will he be picked off by the UAE people after more than ten years?Well, who will let the "father" in the house be good, and leave a good place... After Jia Hongjian muttered for a while, he thought for a while and said: "Well, if the building is 520 meters long, it will be okay to build it in Shanghai? After the bidding is over, the construction can be started immediately? How much construction capital will be needed?”

"520 meters? It takes about 100 billion yuan... The working hours are faster for 4 years, usually 5 years, and slower for 6 years. Of course, this is based on the standpoint that your company's design aesthetic requirements are not strange, no offense, I’m telling the truth, if your company requires the building to be designed in an S-shape, or like a bird’s nest, it’s really impossible to build it successfully according to the normal nodes, and it will definitely take longer, you should understand this, right?”

"Well, ok, then I ask the building to have a rainwater harvesting device and a wind power generation device on the roof, isn't that too much?" Jia Hongjian asked. "My God! You are so environmentally friendly! This invitation is not too much, and it is not difficult to design, at most it will increase a little cost. Basically that's it. If you want to build a 520-meter-high building, don't let it go. As consultants, these two design units in Shanghai and Shanghai are quite good, and then they held a global bidding meeting... Hehe, the reason why I can't participate in the consulting is because our som firm will definitely participate in the bidding, I personally want to avoid suspicion... ..."

Okay, but now Jia Hongjian has another question in his mind, that is, if the new building of their company will take 5 years to complete, won't he have to stay in this old office building for these 5 years?It seems that it is not enough force... Is there any way to quickly create an office building and enjoy it first? (To be continued. You are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.) rq
