The world's first village

Chapter 208 The design of the high-rise building begins

A week later, an old man with silver hair and several foreigners, led by Lian Bin, walked to the steps of the SS Building.

The silver-haired old man is the designer of the Burj Khalifa - Adrian Smith, and the others are his assistants.

Shi Lin instructed Lian Bin to take his private jet and go directly to Country M to pick up Adrian Smith.

After Adrian Smith arrived in Chengdu, Shi Lin arranged for a convoy of three Rolls-Royces from SS Company to pick him up at Chengdu Airport.

It can be said that the reception specifications arranged by Shilin were magnificent enough, and Adrian Smith was also very moved, no matter how busy he was, he still wanted to go to the mysterious Huaxia.

Adrian Smith looked at the magnificent SS building in front of him, and felt that the design of this building was not bad.

A week ago, Lian Bin contacted him, saying that SS Company wanted to build the world's tallest building, and wanted to invite him to be the designer, and asked him to come to Huaxia to communicate with their boss, Shi Lin.

When Adrian Smith first heard it, he just smiled. Over the years, many companies wanted to invite him to design skyscrapers. They all wanted to design the tallest building in the world, but none of them could actually implement it. Mostly due to financial reasons, the world's tallest building was transformed into a [-]-meter-high building.

The slogan was very loud and eloquent, but it was too difficult to realize it in the end, and I don’t know how much discount it was.

After Adrian Smith refused, he hung up the phone. Recently, he also wanted to take a break. He leaned back in his chair and picked up the magazine "Time" on the table.

[Huaxia Shilin, the owner of SS Company, the king of the younger generation, is sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars in cash! 】On the cover, a very confident young man with a smile on his face, wearing a strange costume, stands on the podium, as if giving a speech.

SS company?

Smith was a little confused. The person who called just now said that the introduction was from SS Company, right?

Smith slapped himself on the head, feeling a little regretful: Why did he refuse it!
While he was wondering, his office phone rang again. Looking at the number, it seemed to be the same as the phone number just now. Smith quickly answered the phone and asked politely, "Hello, is it from SS Company?"

"Hi Mr. Smith, I am Lian Bin from SS Company. Our boss sincerely invites you to design the world's tallest building. If there is no problem, our boss will arrange his private jet to pick you up in country M. I will serve as Receptionist. Excuse me, what concerns does Mr. Smith have?"

Lian Bin on the other end of the phone was also a little anxious. If he didn't complete the task assigned by the boss, he would feel that he had let down the trust of the boss.

Private jet reception? !
Such a high-end, upscale and grand reception specification?

Smith was a little panicked, and said politely: "Hi, it's no problem to go to Huaxia. I will arrange my team to go there as soon as possible, and there is no need for a private jet to receive it. It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"Mr. Smith, our boss said that you are his honored guest and should be treated like that. If there is no problem,..."

Lian Bin was very happy when he heard that the matter had come to fruition, so he communicated with Smith about the matters that needed attention.

Adrian Smith recalled how he communicated with Lian Bin, the receptionist, a week ago, and he was a little bit dumbfounded. The initial blunt refusal, and the later surprise and flattery were like a roller coaster of emotions.

When I came to the gate of the building, I saw a young man in a neat suit, smiling all over his face, very similar to the young man in Time Magazine. This should be the boss of SS Company—Shi Lin!

"Mr. Smith, welcome to Huaxia, to SS Company, the journey has been exhausting!" Shi Lin looked at the silver-haired old man walking with Lian Bin, who should be Smith, and shook hands with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Shi Lin, you are too kind!" Smith also shook hands very politely.

Several people shook hands with each other, greeted each other, walked into the elevator, and came to Shi Lin's office.

After Shi Lin asked Smith and the others to sit down, he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Smith, I want to build two buildings with a height of 888 meters. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Smith took a sip of hot tea and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Shi, if you say it is a suggestion, it is not a good suggestion. The super high-rise building looks beautiful, but it will cause a series of related problems such as fire safety hazards, high construction costs and low cost performance. Have you considered it?"

Shi Lin didn't expect that Smith didn't advocate his construction from the very beginning, but explained all kinds of disadvantages to him as soon as he opened his mouth. Shi Lin had a better impression of him.

Shi Lin was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, I have thought about this issue. Money is nothing to me. The most worrying thing is safety."

With a rosy face, Smith said with a smile: "If money is not an issue, then everything is not an issue.

In fact, skyscrapers can also become a local symbol and a tourist destination. Rongcheng is indeed a good place with a dense population and fast economic development. "

"Mr. Smith, I want to build it in Love Village. I wonder if you've heard of it? It's a tourist attraction invested by our company." Shi Lin explained to him that he didn't want to build it in Rongcheng. Rongcheng is poor.

Smith was not surprised, and said: "Oh, of course I understand, as a person in this industry, how can I not understand, at first I thought Mr. Shi Lin was joking, investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build a tourist attraction.

However, with the start of the first phase of your scenic spot, the funds are fully in place, and I no longer doubt it. Mr. Shi is a practical entrepreneur. I admire him very much. Unlike those who are engaged in finance, I don’t like it very much to be honest. . "

Smith became more and more excited as he talked, as if he knew everything in his mind: "Mr. Shi, if I want to design a skyscraper, I must first understand its purpose, that is, its structural function. Any product design must first clarify its purpose, and then according to its several parameters for design.”

Shi Lin nodded and said, "That's right. There are two buildings to be built. One building is used as the headquarters of SS Company, which is not open to the public; the other building, as you said, is used as a top-level hotel, sightseeing, catering, and high-end clubs." , specialty stores, etc.”

Generally speaking, the construction area of ​​a skyscraper is nearly one million square meters, which is enough to accommodate 3 to [-] people. Shi Lin doesn't think that the people from SS Company can fill a building.

"I don't know what the geology is like at that location? If the geology is soft, it will be more difficult to build, and there will be typhoons. After all, a building with a distance of nearly [-] meters must have high enough torsion resistance.

Of course, these must be measured on site before the design, and the design is also designed according to the highest safety factor. "Smith talked eloquently, writing down Shi Lin's requirements in a small notebook while talking, "Mr. Shi, are you sure the height must be 888 meters?"How about funding?What are the restrictions? "
