After confirming the overall general direction and technical ideas, the planning and design progress of Lanfang Tower finally broke through the bottleneck and entered a fast lane.

After these twists and turns, Gu Kun also deeply realized a problem: it is not enough for Party A to be arrogant, and Malay Oil and Wanwan people must also be arrogant, but one of the reasons why they are selected is also because Party A lacks basic professional quality.

Take the fully enclosed load-bearing cylinder structure as an example, if Party A does not take the initiative to mention the attitude of "I am willing to waste several percent of the construction area of the overall project", and let Party B find a way, they will never have the courage to put it forward.

Build a building, the money is spent, and one-third of the area may be wasted, which Party B can take the initiative to be so whimsical?

Gu Kun is very generous, and his posture fully makes Party B recognize the extent and scope of his extravagance and waste: doing things for him can not only waste money, but also waste construction area, practical efficiency, and time......

Don't limit the scope of your imagination, everything can be wasted in order to be number one in the world.

He also reimbursed all the designers for unlimited round-trip airfare, hotel stays in the country for the next two years, and other food and living expenses. Let Party B's people conduct on-site surveys whenever they want, and ensure that the supporting facilities are in place.

There must still be technical difficulties, but compared to the determination shown by Gu Kun, those can be solved with money.

For example, at the beginning, another problem that Tongji Construction Institute was most worried about: the strata in Lanfang were too loose, and the substrate was mainly composed of coral reef growth over thousands of years and alluvial sediment brought by the Sarawak River.

In such a place, it is difficult to hold up a shallow foundation. Alluvial sediment, even after tens of millions of years of compaction, is at best turned into shale, which is a rock layer with relatively low hardness, which is completely incomparable with the granite basalt matrix.

However, Gu Kun just waved his pen and approved them to increase the amount of excavation and filling operations at will, and if the amount of related projects was not capped, these problems were solved-

For students who are more laymen in architecture, don't think that these problems can't be solved by money, in fact, they can be solved.

The Burj Khalifa site is geologically good? It used to be a desert dotted with a small number of oases, and in terms of geological looseness, the Dubai desert is certainly looser than the Lanfang sedimentary islands and reefs.

In later generations, the Hujiang Center Building in China was located at the end of the alluvial plain of the Hujiang River, where it was still silt on the seabed during the Ming Dynasty, and even now, it is also the muddy land by the Huangpu River, and it is not easy to raise more than 600 meters high?

The Hujiang Central Building relies on foundation piles to drive to a depth of 80 meters, and then digs up all the loose sand and silt, and re-pours concrete. The land of the Ming Dynasty was only minus 10 meters above sea level, so it was dug up to the Song Dynasty stratum at minus 30 meters above sea level, the Tang Dynasty stratum minus 50 meters, the minus 70 Han Dynasty, and the minus 80 pre-Qin strata......

As long as there is money, all the top is dug up, and it is dug up until the part that is already a solid rock layer in ancient times.

Hujiang Central Building, 20,000 tons of steel will be used for the foundation alone, Gu Kun's scale is much larger, he is already mentally ready to lay the foundation to knock off 50,000 tons of steel, it is really not enough to do 100,000.

A ton of strip steel is 2,000 yuan all year round, of course, important projects must not be used with strip steel, not even No. 45, but the foundation steel for construction will not reach five digits a ton, Gu Kun first allocated 300 million yuan, which should be used as a special fund for the pile of the foundation.

Concrete filling, counting the construction cost pump money, a few hundred yuan a party. Dig out the original silt and sand, the excavation fee is dozens of yuan, even if the foundation is poured 100 meters deep, the whole is filled, according to the area of the foundation, it will not cost a million square meters, and it will be hundreds of millions of yuan.

Gu Kun was ready to allocate 1000 million yuan in the first phase, and lay the foundation without doing anything else. In the future, if it is not enough, it can be added, even if it is 200 million US dollars, it is not a big deal to lay the foundation.

The Burj Khalifa cost a total of $1.5 billion.

In Gu Kun's view, this is not a challenge at all, but an opportunity to show off his wealth. In the future, we can shoot all kinds of indomitable momentum in the construction process, and then spread it inadvertently, so that more than one billion Chinese people know how costless and tyrant Lan Fang is engaged in the project.

Let them know that there is only one principle in the Lan side: a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

As for the start time of the project, there is no rush at the moment, it will take more than a year to design, and it will be good to start construction at the end of 99 or even early 2000.

Therefore, the money that needs to be paid at the moment, that is, a little design fee, has no impact on the turnover.

......

Two weeks later, the preliminary survey of the geological conditions of the site, the estimation of the engineering quantity, and the overall design of the plan were outlined.

Of course, the specific design will be very complicated, and it will take another year to come out with tinkering and adjustments. The design fee cannot be paid in a lump sum, but must be paid in stages, and even a considerable proportion of the quality deposit will be withheld after the floor is completed.

Therefore, calculated in this way, Gu Kun will give 20 million for the first phase of the design fee of 100 million US dollars, 40 million when the construction starts, and 70 million after the completion and acceptance, leaving the last 30 million warranty money to observe for several years.

The design contractor is not only one of Tongji Construction Institute, and many supporting details are outsourced, especially after the excavation of coastal strata, the foundation filling and sea prevention treatment at negative altitude must be handed over to the Haiji Institute for cooperation.

Lin Lin finally came down, and the first payment of Tongji Construction Institute was 10 million US dollars.

It was Monday, November 2nd.

A female designer who was previously in charge of assisting in the report quietly knocked on Dean Tong's office with a happy face:

"Dean, Party A called back today, saying that he was quite satisfied with the draft you reported last weekend, and that he was willing to pay the first design fee today, do you want to pick up the check in person?"

Because it is a US dollar, or such a large amount of money, it is definitely not possible for domestic banks to transfer money directly, and foreign exchange management must also be considered, so it can only be a check, and then the payee himself goes through the procedures.

"Of course I went in person, well, call Xiao Li too, and the three of us will go together. Dean Tong jumped up from his seat, not at all like an old man in his 50s.

That's 10 million dollars!

Tongji in 98 years is far less generous than later generations, mainly because at the end of the 90s, domestic real estate has not yet become popular.

Real estate developers are not rich enough, how can architectural design institutes become rich.

Party A's father, who is so proud, must be served well and comfortable.

The young designer was quite modest, and politely declined: "Dean...... I don't have to go to this kind of occasion to collect money. ”

She is still quite self-aware, and she has never felt that there is any need for female designers to show their faces on occasions other than reporting.

Girls majoring in architecture are inherently ugly, and this designer is mean-looking, in his 30s. If it is to go to the construction site to guide, there must be a lot of people who secretly watch, it is because there are no women on the construction site, and no matter how ugly it is, there will be people to look at it. But if you go to the well-informed big donor, you don't get any social plus.

Dean Tong waved his hand: "Xiao Qin, let you go, you can go, don't think too much." I look at that Boss Gu, who was already a little dissatisfied with our shrinking hands and feet, if it weren't for the foreigner who also fooled him and didn't care, maybe this list should have been snatched away by a foreign design institute.

As for you, it's a little bit young and vigorous, but it's your advantage to be aggressive, and you dare to act. I have been engaged in construction for most of my life, and I have a hunch that in the hands of Boss Gu, maybe you can realize your life ideals and make some big projects that will go down in history.

I don't want you to be tempted, I just want you to do what he likes, and discover his great joy. Anyway, I heard that he has a family property of one or two hundred billion dollars just by speculating in finance and picking up oil, and young people will not cherish it if it is easy to get money. Rather than being ruined by other luxuries, it is better to leave a few wonders on Earth that can be seen from space, and at least be more worthy of the money. ”

Dean Tong's words were all right, and Qin Ya couldn't refuse, and she was a little eager to try it in her heart.

Not to mention that Party A is so happy, if the designers are still a little ambitious, they are just as happy, or even better. It is an opportunity of fate to meet Party A who spends money without blinking.

A group of people went to Gu Kun's mansion very enthusiastically, including the treasurer who was called Xiao Li by the dean.

The shabby Audi drove straight to the riverview villa in Lujiazui, who told Gu Kun that he hadn't opened an office in Hujiang yet, and he hadn't set up a branch, so he could only go directly to his home to find something.

However, after arriving, Dean Tong and his entourage were very surprised to find that Gu Kun himself was not there.

Instead, it was another villa next door to Gu Kun, the garden gate was open, and a black suit stood at the door to greet him:

"Dean Tong, right? Our boss has something to do temporarily, so I can't receive it in person, just introduce myself, just call me Long Wu, I'm a rough person, fortunately I followed Boss Gu early, so I don't have any culture, and I have already mixed with the person in charge of the project company under him. In the future, several projects on the Lanfang side, daily needs will contact me, don't talk to me about technical details, anyway, it's easy to talk about money, people and equipment. ”

Dean Tong looked up and down a few times, and felt that these black suits were a bit like club members in Hong Kong films or Italian films, and trembled slightly.

I had a good talk with Gu Kun, why did I change to such a rough reception?

Fortunately, in the next second, Long Wu relieved most of his anxiety:

"Here is a check for 10 million US dollars, Boss Gu has signed it before, you can rest assured, in terms of money, we will definitely not drop the chain." ”

Dean Tong took a deep breath and took the check.

It's easy to say when the money is in hand.

"This villa ...... Is it also Mr. Gu's?" Dean Tong looked at it repeatedly, and realized that he was a little embarrassed to look at the money so carefully, so he diverted the topic.

"He suggested that I buy one too, and I did. This was originally an overseas Chinese from Lijiapo, and I bought it at a higher price. Long Wu said expressionlessly, it seems that the purchase price of a villa of several hundred or nearly 10 million yuan is not a matter at all.

When Gu Kun first paid an advance to buy the villa here, it was in 1995, so it was relatively cheap, with a total price of less than five million. The housing prices in Hujiang have risen a few times after three years, plus it is a forced purchase at a higher price, and seven or eight million is a must.

Director Tong felt slightly dizzy, and then a little happy, thinking that he might be able to buy one in a few years.

Long Wu was stunned when he saw him, and grabbed his arm and pulled him into the courtyard: "Let's have a drink together?" Boss Gu instructed me about this project, and I absolutely can't afford to lose." If there is any leakage of technical details in the future, causing other competitors in the world to overtake me, I will definitely take the initiative to live in this world without face. But before I die, I will definitely let the whole family of the leaker die well, and I want to be righteous and trustworthy when I come out. ”
