Chapter 371

When Zheng Jianguo picked up the sketch, Pei I-ming didn't let him read it himself, but said: "when the Empire State building was built, because the influence of strong wind at a height of more than 300 meters could not be calculated, the design followed the concept of mountain shaped low center of gravity, instead of making the greatest use of space like the world trade twin towers, This is a big failure for commercial buildings. I think your purpose must be to make money? "

"To be exact, it is still based on value."

After thinking that he bought the Empire State Building for long-term investment, Zheng Jianguo just looked at it and distinguished the difference between the two sketches. On the outside of the existing shape of the Empire State Building No. 1 on the left, he sketched a straight up and down square shape with a few sketches. It felt like he wanted to increase on the basis of the podium building: "this No. 1, Is it going to be built up from the podium and directly to the roof? "

"Yes, according to my rough calculation, this can increase the building area of at least 150000 square meters. You can think that it is to take the main body of the existing building as the column structure and reconstruct it with high-strength structural steel and glass outside. Of course, this is not all done, because it will destroy the history and culture carried by the Empire State Building, and New Yorkers can't agree.

Therefore, in order to preserve the historical massiness of the building and also to gain recognition from New Yorkers, my idea is to retain the current appearance from the appearance part, and the material is made of glass on a large scale to show the light, that is, there is no big change from the appearance -- "

When Pei's voice came, Zheng Jianguo's previous idea was overturned by his design concept. He thought it was just a simple use of building materials to build up and down like the world trade twin towers, but he didn't expect that he wanted to combine glass, steel and light, It is also the first time to personally feel the master's design concept: "is this why you regard it as No. 1?"

"Yes, in this way, we can double the construction area. Of course, the cost is relatively high. It is almost the price of rebuilding the Empire State Building, but according to my intuition, this investment is profitable.

After all, the commercial rent in the upper east side of Manhattan is the highest in the United States, and the reconstructed Empire State building can regain the title of the tallest building in America, which must be what the people of New York are happy to see -- "

Pei obviously has a unique understanding of commercial architecture. Everything he says seems to scratch Zheng Jianguo's itch. Especially when the story of recapturing the first tallest building came, he nodded before he wanted to speak. He saw Yang Na coming in front with a pot and teacup. When he put it down, he said, "Mr. Pei, please have tea -"

"Thank you."

Glancing over the teapot and cup, Pei I-ming watched Yang Na pour a shallow tea bowl and said, "although it was taken back from the world trade center."

"Well, I don't think so. Now the height is not bad -"

The building height of the Empire State building is 381 meters, and the 62 meter antenna is only 443.2 meters, which is only 36 meters lower than the 417 meters of the newly built World Trade twin towers.

According to Pei I-ming's No. 1 design, any building should exceed this height, but Zheng Jianguo did not intend to do so. He immediately looked at the master and said, "the airship platform was abandoned only once. Now if you have this opportunity, you'd better switch back to the helicopter platform, so that the rich people can get in and out more conveniently, And I feel that such a large area on the roof can be used as an open and closed helicopter platform? "

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Zheng, you have selected scheme 1?"

Pei I-ming, who just sipped his tea, said in surprise. Zheng Jianguo just looked at sketch 2 and nodded: "yes, I feel great about option 1. It can increase the building area, make the Empire State building more classic, and make the people of New York feel that you and I attach importance to it. Of course, the most important thing is such a large reconstruction, I'm afraid it can bring thousands of jobs and a lot of taxes to New York -- "

"Did you agree to intention No. 1?"

Seeing Zheng Jianguo's unchanged look, Pei I-ming was really surprised. He came up with two sets of design schemes because he didn't know how much money the "boss of the Empire State Building" had, so he gave a No. 2 design with a reconstruction cost of about 10 million. Otherwise, according to his character, he would only give No. 1: "if this cost is estimated, It should be between 80 million and 120 million. "

"This is the exterior reconstruction design. I don't know when the specific internal design will come out?"

After confirming his idea again, Zheng Jianguo jumped directly to the next topic. Pei I-ming knew that he had made a decision, held a tea bowl and said, "it should be within 30 days after the formal signing of the employment agreement."

"Well, I'll inform old John to sign a formal agreement with you in the name of the company."

Zheng Jianguo watched Pei i.m. give the exact date. Old John arrived in New York the day after he returned to Boston. When big John told him the news, he sent him to the Empire State building to help Alec with the reception work. He never asked him to report the work process for analysis. It seems that old John is still relatively smooth there.

"I just don't think setting up a heliport will cause potential safety hazards to the people on the viewing platform, or we should remove the viewing platform."

Holding the teacup carefully, Pei I-ming quickly put forward a suggestion. Zheng Jianguo blinked and smiled: "the viewing platform is semi sealed. Except that there is no glass in the viewing direction, all other directions are blocked by obstructions. If they can't see the helicopter overhead, they won't have an idea --"

"That's a protective device."

In an instant, I.M. Pei summed up Zheng Jianguo's methods. I.M. Pei praised his idea. The increase of helicopter stations can greatly facilitate the travel of senior residents. In extreme cases, if you have health problems and want to go to the hospital, you can also arrive quickly by helicopter instead of waiting for an ambulance or having someone pull you to the hospital by car, It can greatly save time on the road.

Because the idea only turned in Pei's mind, Zheng Jianguo didn't know that others had guessed his idea until he sent him away. Instead, when facing Yang Na's questioning, he said his plan: "the helicopter station can ensure that we can fly directly to the Empire State Building from New York airport without facing the reporters blocked at the entrance and exit, As well as the traffic jam every day, and someone called 911, we can send people to various hospitals as soon as possible. "

"So in order to enjoy this service, they will pay more?"

Out of her shrewd understanding of Zheng Jianguo, Yang Na guessed the reason why he did so without effort. Previously, she hid in the kitchen and didn't go upstairs. She wanted to hear his plan under the guise of cleaning up and sanitation, and immediately said, "do you want to accept investment in this project?"

"Do you want to invest?"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Yang Na to come up with this idea. Then he found that her eyes flickered and couldn't help but say, "your airline doesn't plan to invest?"

"My mother said you were not optimistic about that business, and your oil contract was losing money. I thought if you didn't refuse, I would like to invest in my mother's name. How do you feel?"

Yang Na sat in front of Zheng Jianguo and rolled her white legs on the sofa. He felt that her sister's idea was still unreliable: "did your mother come to participate in management?"

"Well, she wants to come over there because my father's lawsuit has had a certain impact on her. Of course, it's not material, but reputation, which puts a lot of pressure on her."

As if talking about the problems between her parents, Yang Na wrinkled a steamed stuffed bun on her cheek and touched Zheng Jianguo's hand. Zheng Jianguo turned her hand over, grabbed her little hand, nodded and said, "participation is possible. Your mother and old John's partner should have no problem, but I want to say that if your mother left Paris because of this, I'm afraid the loss of reputation would be greater, Of course, this is my personal suggestion. "

"I can't manage this. I tried my best anyway."

Yang Na's white face was obviously relieved when she thought of what happened between her parents, but it fell into Zheng Jianguo's eyes. He continued: "there are many outsiders at home these days. If you're tired of staying, you can also go out to relax. It's just that brother Zhao and Master Zhu are also around the United States. They're going to Britain next week -"

"When I leave, no one will serve you. I'm fine."

Looking at Zheng Jianguo's considerate appearance, Yang Na put her hand into her clothes. Sure enough, when Zheng Jianguo picked her up into the bedroom, her eyes flashed Kou Yang's cheek: "if I leave, what will you do with her?"

Zheng Jianguo, who was busy, of course didn't know Yang Na's idea. After handing in her homework, she found that her head didn't hurt. She slept until the next day, got up and exercised. She went out under Yang Na's service, went to the emergency room and started the day's work.

"According to the latest news from our reporter, after countries in the world, including Europe, America and the Republic, have clearly refused to participate, the Soviet Moscow Olympic Games will be held on July 19, 1980 as scheduled.

However, although the French government has asked the National Olympic Committee to prohibit participation, the French Olympic committee still said that it would send athletes, would not participate in the name of the French country, and would enter with the five ring flag. "

After Zheng Jianguo followed Alfonso to complete the handover with Pliny, a report about the Olympic Games came from the TV set opened by Manion. They turned around and looked at the host Balabala in the TV. Alfonso couldn't help but tilt his head: "it seems that Coca Cola will suffer a heavy loss."

"And Pepsi."

Zheng Jianguo said, Alfonso stared at the female host in the TV picture, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "if you can play games like this, that's good."

“？？？”

Zheng Jianguo, who didn't care, stared round in an instant, and then turned to look at Alfonso. Unexpectedly, Alfonso stared at his eyes and said, "especially your two games," magic cube "and" greedy snake "are most suitable for this kind of game. See who has a high score."

"Oh, that's a good idea. Setting a bonus can attract more players to play -"

Zheng Jianguo nodded silently. He almost didn't ask his friend if you were born again. Now he remembered that if he said this sentence, I'm afraid it would reveal his true identity. Of course, it's more likely that Alfonso really likes games, so it's possible to give this suggestion at this time: "I can give them suggestions."

"Really? That would be great. "

Alfonso's face was full of surprise. He just said the idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He thought Zheng Jianguo wanted to deny the proposal, but he didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to accept it so solemnly and convey it to the game company. The surprise was too sudden: "are you serious?"

"As you said, since all sports can compete, why don't we make the game a challenge?"

After raising his eyebrows, Zheng Jianguo certainly knew that E-sports would become a competitive sport in the future, and even grow into an event concerned by countless young people around the world in 40 years. Therefore, without much thinking, he decided to give Alfonso the title of the initiator: "if it can be held, I will tell them, Or tell all the children who like games that it's Dr. Alfonso Zorn to make their dreams come true -- "

"Ha ha, well, please forgive me for my gaffe. I'm so happy -"

He laughed foolishly. Alfonso couldn't help but be taken back by the eyes represented by Manion. Zheng Jianguo glanced at Manion, turned his head to Alfonso on the other side and said, "I think you'll hear this news soon."

"What news? News of the game? "

Alfonso asked a question subconsciously, and then his eyes widened in an instant. Zheng Jianguo nodded and said, "yes, it should be the news of the game competition, because the TV station I'm going to set up will set up a game column. Before, I was still thinking about how to get the players' attention. Now with your suggestion, I might as well take out 100000 dollars, How do you feel about hosting the world's first game competition? "

"100000 dollars? Are you really willing to spend 100000 dollars to set up this competition award? "

After Manion's cheek suddenly turned pale, Alfonso has paid attention to another word in Zheng Jianguo's words: "TV station, did you buy a TV station?"

"No, I'm going to start my own TV station. Of course, it will take some time -"

Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and said that he remembered the scene of his son entering the game hall and his grandson running in the Internet cafe in his previous life. Now he felt that it was OK to open a super large chain game room in the United States. In the future, this kind of competition would be organized on the chain side, so he opened his mouth to the 2-year-old resident and game lover in front of him: "Alfonso, You like playing games, don't you? "
