The meal had not yet been served, and the grandfather and grandson still had time to talk for a while, and when it came to this topic, both of them were in high spirits, and the boy and grandmother did not bother them, smiled and shook their heads, and went to prepare them first.

"More than 600 meters, why build so high, it's too wasteful. ”

When the old man heard the boy's words, he was immediately startled, and he leaned in front of the model, on the simulated miniature version of the map of Los Angeles made of plastic, next to the newly built Federal Bank of Los Angeles building, there was a building about one-third shorter than it, which looked very ordinary and square.

The Federal Bank Building, completed in 1989, is about 310 meters high, the tallest building in Los Angeles, that is to say, the building that Han Xuan's grandfather plans to build is only about 200 meters high, but it covers a much larger area.

In Japan and France, buildings above 60 meters are considered supertall, while in the United States, buildings over 152 meters are considered skyscrapers.

The new building of the SOS Group is already a very tall skyscraper, and now the world's tallest building, the Empire State Building, is only 448.7 meters, and the World Trade Center, which was just completed in 97, is only 411.5 meters.

Han Xuan had seen the 632-meter-high Shanghai City Center Building in Lujiazui before, and also saw the 828-meter-high Burj Khalifa in Dubai, so he naturally looked down on the new building with such a strong local atmosphere, and said dissatisfied: "I don't like it, it looks too ugly, and it is too short, and now the labor price and land price are not high, and the government will subsidize it, of course, it has to build a landmark building." ”

Old Man Han was speechless, he brought the model over to show off in front of his grandson, but he didn't expect his grandson to look down on it.

Sitting on the sofa, he said helplessly: "Los Angeles is prone to earthquakes, and the building can't be built too high, so the Federal Bank Building is only more than 300 meters." ”

"Who said it must be built in Los Angeles, how about New York?" Han Xuan didn't expect this, frowned and paused for half a minute, and came up with an idea, in terms of geographical location, New York is much better than California, and building the new company headquarters there is equivalent to promoting the SOS Group all the time, which is more useful than any advertisement.

"It's too cumbersome to relocate, so I asked people to do a survey to see how tall a building can be built in Los Angeles, and we have to discuss it with professionals, and if not, then we should consider New York." ”

The old man accommodated the boy, and had no choice but to pat his thigh with his hand, he could still help him for a few years, and he didn't want to hand over the company to him in the future, so he didn't have to complain in the future if he got it right, so he postponed the bidding date again and again, just to wait for Han Xuan to decide.

According to the current situation, it seems that there is no need to even hold it, and directly overturn all the previous plans and start again.

As for the cost, skyscrapers are not built in a day, there is not much pressure on the financial side, SOS can provide abundant cash flow every day, and if you don't take out a loan, then what do you have to do with the bank.

Han Xuan didn't know his grandfather's good intentions, and his mind was full of calculations about the shape of the high-rise buildings he had seen, and he laughed silly from time to time, thinking about what kind of scene it would be if he moved the Taipei 101 building to the United States.

However, it was then vetoed, and the high-rise building in the shape of an oriental pagoda was too light in modern aesthetics and not suitable for the mainstream aesthetic concept in the future.

The old housekeeper politely invited them to lunch with a fluent English accent, and the old man nodded in thanks, stood up and patted his grandson on the head: "Okay, your grandfather is still waiting in Hollywood, I have something to do in the afternoon, he will take you out for a walk, and come back in the evening." ”

"I haven't been to Hollywood yet. ”

……

After lunch and departure, little John stood with a smile next to a Rolls-Royce Silver-spirit (Shadow Spirit) at the door, the black front of the car and the silver flying goddess spread her wings forward.

Sitting in the back seat, Han Xuan found that the interior was red, and the backrest and inner top were embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which seemed to be specially customized.

The Rolls-Royce car drove quietly, barely feeling the body moving, and after the Timon Pictures company was bought by the boy's grandfather, the old office building was too small, and he bought a new place in Burbank.

After driving about 20 kilometers to the north, I met many world-famous media and entertainment companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., NBC, and PBS.

Located across the street from Warner Bros., Royal Gate Pictures is a seven-storey building with a small plaza on the left.

If you don't look at its logo, people who don't know it will definitely think that Dimen Pictures is also a famous producer, but in fact, this company is just an empty shell now, with only twenty or thirty employees, and there is not even the most basic shooting team.

Before that, Dimen Pictures has been tepid, belonging to one of the countless third-rate production companies, relying on the distribution of foreign small-budget films to maintain its own expenses, such as Huaxia's "Jingwu Hero", "Drunken Fist 2", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", etc., which are only distributed in a small range, and the box office results are not very good.

Therefore, with Guo Muzhou, the unjust big man, sent to the door, several bosses of Dimen Pictures couldn't wait to give it away, and the price was not even three million US dollars.

Although the sparrows were small and had all the organs, the old security guard at the door was very dutiful, stopped them for interrogation and registration, and did not let them in until Han Xuan called his grandfather.

Only the lowest floor of the seven-story building is in use, and even then, half of the rooms are still empty, and the renovation is all done, and the staff can start working just yet

Guo Muzhou's office is at the front of the corridor, it seems that he rarely comes here, it took him a long time to find the key and didn't go in, and he couldn't help but complain after greeting: "At that time, I thought this company was quite good, but later I learned that it was all found to be a show, and only an issuance right was worth a little money." ”

"After the assessment, there are not many people left, they are still mobile employees, saying that there is a big director who made a few movies in the sixties, I see that he is shaking his hands when he raises the camera now, and the new equipment will not be used, and he saw that Steven Spielberg's black-and-white movie "Schindler's List" became popular, and he took the script to me all day long, and wanted to make a black-and-white movie, and now who still watches that. ”

"Speaking of Spielberg, I'm even more angry, I originally talked about joining, but I went around our company, and I didn't even answer the phone the next day, and told his friend that I was a liar, and Dimen Pictures became popular all of a sudden, and I couldn't pull people. ”

"If it weren't for Titanic, I wouldn't have to rush to buy this company, I'd be fooled. ”

Han Xuan waited quietly for him to finish, and experience told him that it was better not to interject at this time, and followed his grandfather into the office, which was a little too clean, and there were not even books on the shelves.

At least the leather bag company will do a good job, thinking that it is no wonder that Spielberg will treat him as a liar, and said: "Don't worry, there is still Marvel under Dimen Pictures." ”

"Big grandson, you can pit me, what's the use of buying back those heroes? The money is spent like water, six million dollars to buy a Spider-Man copyright, the X-Men ask for a higher price, and there is no one to buy it back"

Han Xuan rubbed his temples, he should have known that he couldn't speak.

I caught a glimpse of a woman walking by outside the window, looking very familiar.
