"This building, being used as the group's headquarters, has very high construction standards and uses high-grade materials. It is said to be able to withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake, which perfectly meets your requirements."
Hearing this, Li Mu became interested. After thinking about it, he seemed to have some impression of the building. It was quite large, probably more than thirty stories high.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Approximately how many floors are there? What is the total floor area?"
The agent said, "It has thirty-six floors, each with a floor area of three thousand square meters, and a total floor area of over one hundred thousand square meters, which absolutely meets your requirements."
Li Mu nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's go take a look together tomorrow."
The agent said excitedly, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow."
Chapter 465 Building Renovation Plan
The following day, accompanied by the agent, Li Mu visited the 36-story building.
It's really quite impressive. It has a total of thirty-six floors, three underground and thirty-three above ground, with a total height exceeding one hundred meters. This height fully meets the requirements; even if seawater floods Yun City, it can withstand the influx for several years.
In terms of construction quality, it is indeed exceptionally good, just as the agent described. It's said that the chairman of this group company is from Tangshan and is very particular about this aspect.
"Mr. Li, what do you think?" the agent asked.
Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, we can talk!"
The agent was overjoyed: "Great! I'll arrange a time for us to meet and talk right away."
.........
Upon returning home that day, Li Mu didn't rest. He first found an agency and spent a little more money to have them quickly register a company called Muwu Co., Ltd.
Subsequently, they contacted well-known consulting firms, accounting firms, and law firms in the city to form a negotiation and acquisition team, which carried out the negotiation and acquisition of the building in the name of Muwu Company.
Li Mu wasn't idle either. Acquiring a building required a huge amount of capital, so he started cashing out his stocks.
More than a month ago, Li Mu seized the opportunity, raised 600 million yuan, and doubled the leverage, for a total of 1.2 billion yuan, to build up positions in the stocks of solar photovoltaic and generator manufacturers.
Over the past month or so, due to the rising temperatures, many places have experienced power outages and rationing, leading to a growing demand for solar photovoltaic power and generators in the market.
Sometimes, you can't even buy them.
Such massive demand caused the business and profits of related companies to surge, attracting numerous investment institutions and speculators to enter the market, and the stocks of companies related to solar photovoltaics and generators began to rise steadily.
In just over a month, the book value of the 1.2 billion yuan worth of stocks held by Li Mu has increased five or six times, and the current book value of the stocks exceeds 6 billion yuan.
Although the temperature dropped significantly due to the heavy rain a few days ago, it has started to rise slowly again in recent days.
Chinese people are the most sensitive and quickest to learn from mistakes. Although the temperature has not returned to the level before the rain, many people are starting to worry again, and the demand for solar photovoltaic and generators has not decreased at all.
These actions have caused the stocks of companies related to solar photovoltaics and generators to keep rising, with a large amount of new capital flowing in every day, showing no signs of decline.
This made things easier for Li Mu, who managed to cash out all his stocks in just two days. After repaying the leveraged funds and paying the interest, he still received 5.8 billion.
Of these funds, 300 million was kept on hand, and the remaining 5.5 billion was injected into the newly registered Muwu Co., Ltd., bringing the company's registered capital to 5.5 billion, all of which was fully paid up.
The acquisition of the building proceeded quickly. The acquisition team initially offered 1.3 billion, while the other side offered 1.7 billion. After two days of negotiations, the acquisition team raised its offer to 1.4 billion, and the other side lowered its offer to 1.6 billion.
It looks like we'll have to keep haggling over the price.
Li Mu couldn't wait any longer. Time was of the essence for him right now. He immediately offered to acquire the company for 1.5 billion yuan in full. After signing the contract, he went to the bank right away.
These days, cash is king, and there aren't many companies that can afford to pay in full upfront. Actually, quite a few companies are interested in this building, but none of them are willing to pay in full. They either want to use the building, which they haven't even acquired yet, as collateral, or they want to pay in installments.
Compared to others, Li Mu was much more straightforward.
Ultimately, Muwu Company acquired the building for 1.5 billion yuan, and Li Mu renamed it Muwu Building.
With the building acquired and the villa renovations completed, Li Mu then hired a well-known interior design company to handle the villa's interior design, and turned his attention to the Muwu Building.
Next, the renovation of the Muwu Building will take place, transforming it into a survival base in a high-temperature apocalypse.
This is a huge project. Putting aside everything else, the cost of the heat insulation project for the entire building alone is no less than 300 million yuan.
This has made countless decoration companies extremely envious.
However, Li Mu's terms were extremely demanding. It wasn't that the price was low; on the contrary, he was very generous with the money, charging 30-40% more than similar projects.
The construction period given by Li Mu was simply too short. The heat prevention, heat protection, and heat insulation project for such a large building was only given a three-month construction period.
Normally, such large projects would take half a year, or even longer, to complete.
In addition, the project has extremely high requirements for quality, and the materials used are all top-grade fireproof and heat-insulating materials. In some important areas, aerospace-grade heat insulation materials are used, which can withstand temperatures of hundreds or thousands of degrees.
The supervision is also very strict. Several well-known engineering supervision and testing agencies have been hired. If quality problems occur, not only will a large sum of money be paid, but lawsuits will also be filed.
With so many demanding requirements combined, even though the project is profitable, without the necessary skills, who would dare to take on such a challenging task?
The renovation company responsible for the heat insulation and heat protection renovation of Li Mu's villa was the most willing to participate. They were also afraid of making any oversights or delaying the construction period, so they joined forces with a similarly reputable renovation company from another city to undertake the heat insulation and heat protection renovation project for the building.
To expedite the construction, Li Mu offered them a lucrative reward: a three-month timeframe, with a two million yuan bonus for each day the project was completed earlier. If they finished a month ahead of schedule, they would receive an additional sixty million yuan, more than the combined annual profits of the two renovation companies.
Such favorable terms made the two decoration companies extremely envious, so they dispatched a large number of people to carry out construction at multiple locations simultaneously.
Besides the heat insulation project, there is still a lot of work waiting for him to do throughout the entire building.
For example, the functional division of each floor and the issue of space arrangement.
First, fitness and entertainment facilities are essential. Given the high temperatures outside in the future, fitness can only be done indoors, so fitness facilities must be complete. Similarly, in a post-apocalyptic world, outdoor entertainment facilities will be largely rendered useless, but people still need to enjoy themselves and not waste time in boring ways, so entertainment facilities are still necessary.
Li Mu had already made arrangements for this; the thirty-first floor of the building would be designated as a fitness training center. With a floor area of 3,000 square meters, a 3,000-square-meter fitness club would be absolutely top-tier in Yun City.
With a registered capital of 5.5 billion yuan, Muwu Company was far from being a shell company. During this period, they recruited a few people through headhunters, and the basic framework of the company was set up.
Some tasks no longer required his personal attention; he could simply give the orders and have others handle them. The renovation and construction of the fitness center was quickly taken over by a professional company.
The construction period is also three months, and the best materials and quality will be used to build it. There will be a reward for completing it ahead of schedule.
The entertainment center is located above the fitness center on the thirty-second floor.
Li Mu plans to create a leisure and relaxation venue in this 3,000-square-meter space.
For example, designate an area of 500 to 600 square meters to build a small to medium-sized library; designate an area of 100 to 200 square meters to build a private 3D cinema.
Allocate an area of two or three hundred square meters to build a small bar; allocate an area of over one hundred square meters to build a VR virtual game center; allocate an area of one or two hundred square meters to build a coffee shop…
In short, the entire 32-story, 3,000-square-meter area will be developed into leisure and entertainment facilities.
The project on this floor was contracted out to three professional companies, with a two-and-a-half-month deadline and a bonus for early completion.
Li Mu's residence is on the thirty-third floor. He specially hired a luxury home decoration and design team to design the thirty-third floor as a super large single-level apartment.
Li Mu, along with his nanny and domestic staff, will all live on this floor.
The project period was also given three months, with a bonus for completing it ahead of schedule.
In addition, considering the high temperatures expected outside, vegetables would definitely not be available from the outside. Li Mu began to consider selecting a floor to build an indoor greenhouse vegetable cultivation base.
It's actually quite simple; China has mature technology and professional teams.
Li Mu reserved the tenth floor of the building and hired a well-known domestic professional team to design and build this indoor greenhouse vegetable cultivation base.
The total area is 3,000 square meters, which is equivalent to more than 4 acres. If carefully managed, the yield will be considerable, and there will be no shortage of fresh vegetables for the next few years.
Moreover, Li Mu hired a specialized company to carry out a large-scale reinforcement project on the first, second, and third floors of the building to prepare for potential future flooding.
Meanwhile, Li Mu drilled three deep water wells, each hundreds of meters deep, on the third and lowest basement level of the building, and installed special water pumps to connect to the building's water supply system.
Even if the water supply to Yun City stops in the future, it won't have any impact. Just start the water pumps, and a continuous stream of water will be drawn up from underground.
Furthermore, the water pump used is amphibious, capable of pumping water on land and working in water, much like the submersible pumps used for irrigation in rural areas.
Even if the basement is flooded in the future, it will not affect the normal operation of these water pumps.
The 35th floor of the building is a water room specially planned by Li Mu. It not only has a large-scale underground water purification system, but also thoroughly purifies the groundwater pumped up by the water pump.
Meanwhile, a large water storage system has been built on the 35th floor, which can store thousands of tons of water, so that even if the water supply is interrupted, it can maintain a long-term supply of domestic water.
Of course, all of the above require sufficient power support and supply; without power, no matter how well prepared you are, it will be useless.
In the future, it is foreseeable that with the arrival of a high-temperature apocalypse, the power system will inevitably encounter problems sooner or later.
At this time, the simplest and most cost-effective way is to install photovoltaic solar panels. In the future, the blazing sun will be the best energy source.
Li Mu plans to cover the entire rooftop, an area of 3,000 square meters, with solar panels. Moreover, he'd heard about a recent new technology—a new product—where solar panels can be attached to walls like tiles or glass curtain walls, serving as the building's exterior.
Just like Hanwa, which uses photovoltaic solar energy to replace roof tiles.
Li Mu also wants to use this new product on the Muwu Building, covering all the walls of the building that can be exposed to sunlight with photovoltaic solar panels.
In the future, photovoltaic solar energy will be the most desirable option compared to other power generation methods.
Li Mu looked up some information online and found that ordinary photovoltaic solar energy, under good sunlight conditions, has a power generation efficiency of 150 watts per square meter, which means that one square meter of solar panel can generate 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, or 0.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.
Although it may not seem like much, this power generation efficiency is already quite impressive compared to diesel and gasoline generators.
Li Mu installed 3,000 square meters of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, plus the solar panels installed on several walls of the building, totaling at least 10,000 to 20,000 square meters.
Based on the calculation that each square meter of photovoltaic solar energy generates 0.5 kWh of electricity per day, even with only 10,000 square meters of photovoltaic solar energy, it can generate 5,000 kWh of electricity per day.
Li Mu's electricity demand is not large, and in the future, the electricity generated by photovoltaic solar power alone may not be enough.
Considering that photovoltaic solar energy cannot work on cloudy days and at night, resulting in no power supply, Li Mu began to consider building a dedicated energy storage system.
In the future, the weather will be partly cloudy and partly sunny, with both day and night. Since solar energy cannot generate electricity in real time, it will be much more convenient to store the excess electricity generated during the day.
Electricity is available regardless of whether it is cloudy or dark.
So, another ten million yuan was spent to build seven or eight power storage systems on the twelfth floor, each capable of storing tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity.
