There is no need to repeat what Lin Ying and Bruce Chandler talked about later, after all, it was all an exchange of artists, and many of the terms were obscure, mixed with all kinds of memes and arrogance of insiders.

After Lin Ying coped with a few words, seeing that Chandler insisted on communicating with the hotel designer about professional issues, she also arranged for a big designer who was also from the Tongji Department to communicate with him one-on-one.

Lin Ying herself had a while with Shi Minglun of the Swire Group.

The rest of the audience watched covertly.

A few minutes later, Chief Ibrahim and Sheikh Mahathir, who felt that they had observed quite well, went to the side in private, found a place by the window, and discussed secretly.

"Do you think what Lin Ying said is really possible? Qin Ya, the chief designer of the structural part of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab, is she really unwell, so she handed over her job at the last stage?" Chief Mahathir Mohamad, as an investor, asked this question in a hammering voice.

Mahathir is from Abu Dhabi and Iprahim is from Diba.

Among those chieftains, Abu Dhabi is the richest, never planning to do flower work and is too lazy to do flower work, it is a typical tribal city-state that has fallen into the "curse of resources", and has no ambitions, anyway, there is enough money.

In contrast, the Dibba people are not as rich as later generations, and their oil will be exhausted in a few years. The reason why the Internet celebrities who rubbed traffic and hyped jokes on the Internet in later generations helped to blow Diba was because Diba's hype image had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was convenient for those Internet celebrities to gain popularity by themselves by taking a ride, so everyone was collecting firewood and the flame was high, and the more ignorant people rubbed it, the more ignorant netizens felt that Diba was rich.

It's only 2001, and although the Dibba people have been vaguely deploying the concept of "local tyrant city-state" since the late 90s to develop the world's most high-end tourism, they haven't had time to invest too many resources after all.

The part of the initial investment has not yet reached the stage of reaping the results and seeing the efficacy, so external follow-up investors are also more cautious.

Fortunately, the people of Abu Dhabi are willing to pay for these expenses with the oil money that is spewed out of the ground in stages, so of course Ibrahim has to try his best to please the investors and prove himself to the investors.

Ibrahim sincerely and pretended to be very confidential, and whispered to Mahathir: "I don't think that Miss Lin's words are very credible, I have spied on relevant project information before." After all, that Qin Ya was not only the main structural designer of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab, she also designed the structure of the Lanfang Pagoda later.

I came here today just to verify a statement: whether the new design concept of the central load-bearing structure summarized by the people of Tongji Construction Institute when designing the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel was really developed and applied to the Lanfang Tower. If it does, Chandler and I have a private conversation, saying that the height limit of Lanfang Tower in the future will definitely not exceed more than 600 meters. ”

Outside of his words, Iprahim has great respect for Mahathir, and he does not have the bravado of a top rich man in front of people in public, and it is obvious that his usual extravagance in the public is disguised, and his motive is the same as Gu Kun's, which is a bluff.

No way, business is like this, before you make real results, you have to be careful to serve investors.

And what investors like the most is the icing on the cake and the charcoal in the snow. It is impossible for you to boast about Haikou and say that I want to spend money to build the concept of the world's most tycoon city-state to stimulate tourism, and investors will be stupid to believe you.

You have to take it step by step, such as building a Burj Al Arab first, and then making the Burj Al Arab at least financially profitable, or running through the business model, to prove that your idea is somewhat reliable to investors. Then you can get more investment in the world's tallest building.

The world's tallest building is more successful, only Palm Jumela and the world map archipelago are successful. If the first step fails, or even proves that the business model itself is not viable, there is no follow-up.

The main purpose of Iprasin's further exploration today is not the Burj Al Arab, but the Lanfang Tower, which has the same design unit as the Burj Al Arab and even the same main structural designer group.

At present, Diba's Dibata has also reached the design sprint stage, and construction will definitely start next year, and the money is raised from the Abu Dhabi buddies. It is the top priority to ensure that the peers who are currently under construction and are heading for the goal of "the world's tallest building" cannot hide a hand and threaten the world's first in the future built after Diba.

Now, it was the eve of the Diba people and the Lanfang people losing a battle to the death, and they could no longer cultivate their own fields and avoid fighting.

There is only one number one in the world, and this money, and even the money that may be invested in the future, is not for the material wealth of those physical projects.

It is for the sake of these material wealth, coupled with the reputation of the world's No. 1, and then let the world's future Internet celebrities show off their wealth to rub the traffic heat of the world's No. 1 tyrant's reputation, and positively feedback the flywheel effect to everyone picking up firewood.

Whoever gets the flywheel spinning first because of the positive feedback wins.

The loser, if he spends his own money, then only has to pay the price of that money. If you spend someone else's money, you may pay the price with your life.

If you don't go first, you have to die!

......

Chief Mahathir stroked his mustache, pondered for a moment what Ibrahim had just said, and then asked with common sense: "Then why do you think that Qin Ya was continued to be hidden by Gu Kun? Why can't there be a day like the opening of the Burj Al Arab? I always feel that there are other conspiracies here." ”

Chief Iprahim shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe I just want to keep some technical secrets secret for Lanfang Tower, the construction site of Lanfang Tower has not allowed any outsiders to approach at all so far, and even the top has been handled, so that the exposed internal top structure cannot be seen from satellite photos."

Perhaps, if the Lanfang people have played a conspiracy, and the central load-bearing structure of the Lanfang Tower and the central load-bearing structure of the Burj Al Arab Hotel are not the same technical ideas, then it is not impossible for the Lanfang Tower to reach a height limit far beyond 600 meters in the future...... I think we might as well add another layer of insurance to the design of Dibata, 700 meters may not be enough, and 800 meters may not be forever insured......"

As soon as Iprahim said this, he was glared back by Mahathir Mohamad: "How much money do you spend, when my finances are not audited? Now that the budget is more than a billion dollars, what do you want." ”

Iprahim is not afraid of being thick-skinned, and he hits the snake and sticks on Amway: "I think it is a little bit safe to add $2 billion, and it is possible to get $3 billion if it is absolutely foolproof." ”

Mahathir Mohamad glanced at the other party and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "I can understand you - how many times have you been over the years? First report a small budget, and sweetly persuade us to invest in the project first." Then one, two, three, four to the end of the crying difficulty, additional code investment amount. Unless there is ironclad evidence, I will not fall for your scheme. ”

Iprasin's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

In recent years, he has indeed spent a lot of money.

The main thing is to pursue the world's first tyrant, you can't do things if you don't have a lot of money.

What you do is unprecedented, there is no precedent to follow, and there is no sufficient rhetorical argument to lower the price with the supplier. So sometimes an afterthought audit does find a lot of waste, and you can't say that you don't do your job, and you may really not be as professional as the supplier's technical design.

And after a long time, once you are tired and find that "you can use this excuse to fool a lot of big spending", you will really be lavish, and even kickbacks.

Suppliers have made so many excess profits, there is no reason not to let the procurement take a little bit, right?

At this moment, Mahathir mentioned the black material of financial auditing, and Ibrahim could only shut up temporarily, and it was best not to provoke both parties to calm down at this time.

It's a pity that after Mahathir was aroused in his inner doubts, it was not so easy to calm down. After eating the buffet luncheon, he returned to his guest room and called a few girls to relieve his fatigue, and he thought about using his intelligence network, or headhunter informant, to investigate the unusual encounter at today's reception.

As for Ibrasin, it was also branched out for the time being, and the two of them played their own games, so they had no chance to spy on him and slander him for the time being.

"Your Highness, what do you want to know?" asked one of Mahathir's subordinates, after being summoned by the leader, respectfully.

"Send a few more courtesans to get in touch with the other guests today, and try to inquire about the core role of the Burj Al Arab and the Lanfang Tower design team. I always feel that the Lan Fang people have made a move. I think Ibrahima wants him to cheat us more money by exaggerating the difficulty of describing the project!

Therefore, when you inquire, look for those relevant insiders, preferably the kind whose position interests are not too high, and can be bought by money, intelligence fees are not a problem, as long as you are willing to open your mouth to us and show evidence, try to drag it down. Don't be afraid to spend money, and don't be afraid to spend women. Mahathir said grimly.

"I know what to do. The subordinate took the order and left.

Then Mahathir took a lunch break.

After the lunch break, the subordinate brought back an informant, a yellow-skinned Han man.

"What did he know?" asked Mahathir, who was waiting for the maid, as he took a puff of the pick-me-up mint hookah.

The dog-legged assistant whispered: "This person is also a competitor's house to spy on, to be exact, to verify the intelligence." He claimed to be a confidant of Wanwan Dingxin Group. However, after all, he is not from the boss's family, so the boss's interests are not as good as his own interests after all. I did as you instructed me to give him a lot of favors, and I stuffed a dozen boxes of dollars in cash, and he said that he was willing to share with us highly confidential information. ”

Mahathir's eyes lit up slightly: "Let's talk about it, I hope it's worth the money." ”
