The Pritzker Prize is known as the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture. The Cotton Tree AL Building, designed by Ju Chen, won the Pritzker Prize that year because of the use of transparent aluminum materials and the ultimate experience of space utilization.

The 66-storey Cotton Tree AL Building, with a floor height of 3 meters, a total of 198 meters, is far from the current 300 meters stipulated by the new standard of the World Association of Super High-rise Buildings, and it is not a super high-rise building. But by dividing the 24 hours into three periods (9 a.m. to 17 p.m., 17 p.m. to 1 a.m., 1 a.m. to 9 a.m.), the usage efficiency is about 66 * 3 = 198 layers (what a subtle coincidence, it's really not intentional).

The furniture can be changed at will, the furniture comes with storage function, and there are also public lockers, and the tenant does not necessarily have to take a lot of bits and pieces with him every time he gets off work.

With a ceiling height of 3 meters, the use of space is lower, but the lighting has been specially adjusted to create a magical visual illusion of spaciousness, and the space of more than 2 meters on each floor has produced the enjoyment of sitting in the lobby, which is also a major reason for the award, this illusion design is the first time to appear, leading the trend.

The shock of 360-degree transparency is needless to say. Even the toilets, AL Building has made a bold attempt, using the supplier's solution of using metabolites as raw materials to make ethanol and fertilizer, ethanol, which is the fuel for the next generation of rockets, and the use of biodegradable material packaging instead of flushing toilets, which not only provides clean and hygienic cushions for every user every time, but also saves a lot of water resources.

Water conservation is not the point, the point is that the water itself will produce secondary pollution, which makes people have a very bad impression of dampness and dirt.

Efficient construction is also one of the features, the 66-storey building, all exactly the same, the internal fan-shaped space is exactly the same, so the prefabricated parts used are the simplest, the speed and process difficulty are reduced to a minimum, so that although the expensive transparent aluminum material is used, the cost of the building itself is about the same as other 200-story buildings ($200 million).

Perhaps the most amazing innovation is the unmanned freight elevator. Originally, it was planned to use a three-rotor architecture, but later, with the maturity of rocket technology, Juchen personally dominated the compressed air-powered super freight elevator. Don't be surprised by the power of compressed air, you must know that Russian ICBMs can be ejected with compressed air and re-launched, because it can avoid the rocket burning the launcher.

Originally, it was planned to use a rotor to make the freight elevator appear to spiral drift, but this was not efficient, so it was changed to vertical arrival. This design has a magical disaster recovery ability, and when the whole building is blacked out, the jet freight elevator can also send guests downstairs! And it is not affected by fire, no matter what the hell the inside of the building burns, it will never burn to the outside of the building.

When the Twin Towers were hit by planes, most of the desperate humans in the upper floors would have survived if there was such an elevator, so the emergence of the jet elevator was also an innovation in firefighting, which was only launched after winning the Pritzker Prize, and was not involved in the selection of architectural design.

The freight elevator is like this, and the passenger elevator has a wonderful innovation that has increased its efficiency by 6 times, which is a bit funny, that is, there is only a passenger elevator every six floors, and only the floor that can be divisible by 6 has an elevator to arrive, such as: 6, 12, 18...... 66.

Each user may have to walk down three flights of stairs at most, because it is easier to go down the stairs than to be afraid of the stairs.

For example, if you want to go to the 33rd floor, you can choose the elevator on the 30th floor and then climb the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd floors, or you can choose the 36th floor and go down the 35th, 34th, and 33rd floors.

This design is particularly magical, a simple transformation can increase the efficiency by 6 times, and is regarded as a stroke of genius by many architects.

Efficiency design is ubiquitous, and another detail is that during the rush hour of the elevator ride, the automatic facial recognition system can track everyone who takes the stairs, and those who go up and down 12 flights of stairs and above can receive a subsidized meal allowance from the building management office!

At present, after the reporter's test, it is like this, up and down 12 floors, 1 yuan, 18 floors: 2 yuan, 24 floors: 3 yuan, 30 floors: 4 yuan, 36 floors: 5 yuan, 42 floors: 6 yuan, 48 floors: 7 yuan, 54 floors: 8 yuan, 60 floors: 9 yuan, the highest prize 66 floors: 10 yuan!

Of course, it is not always this price, depending on the congestion of the elevator, the price will be fine-tuned, in short, it can play a magical peak diversion role.

Unlike many mediocre skyscrapers, the AL Tower has spacious, bright, airy, and reasonable stairs, and even if there are no rewards, many people enjoy the feeling of climbing stairs. Do you think the Pritzker Prize is so easy to win?

The building covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with a usable area of 180,000 square meters, and is rented out at the highest office price in Kapok City, 198 yuan / square meter, but if you are willing to share it with others, it is divided into three periods, and it can be about 66 yuan / square meter of ultra-low price.

The entire building can theoretically collect 36 million yuan in rent a month, 66.87 million US dollars a year, and return to the cost in 3 years.

This magical AL building has attracted the interest of many small and medium-sized startups, who also want to get a touch of the fairy spirit of the ghost professor...... No, ghostly, the rental is so hot that Juchen immediately built 12 AL buildings around the world at the same time, 3 in China's first-tier cities, and 9 in the world's metropolises, namely: New York, Tokyo, Seoul, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, XN, and Naples.

The total investment is about 2.4 billion US dollars, which is not much, and in the Middle East countries, a skyscraper is 15 billion US dollars, which scares people to death.

It's not that Juchen particularly likes cosmopolitan cities, it's just that he wants to use the $2.4 billion as advertising money to promote his AirWork sharing economy theory, which is definitely worth the money spent, and in a place like China's rapid economic development, he can earn back his old money in three or five years.

In places like Italy and France, the economy is not good, and throwing money can also be heard, which is the so-called fame everywhere.

It is under the impetus of the continuous innovation with the AL building as the core, the AirWork project has finally grown by leaps and bounds again, obtaining more than 1 million shared listings, which is at the same level as Airbnb's 3 million listings, if Airbnb is valued at 30 billion US dollars, AirWork must have at least 10 billion US dollars, and almost all the equity is in Juchen's hands, and it has not yet been financed, when he finances, it is the time for further large-scale promotion, and at that time, the business of Airbnb and WeWork will be further threatened。

The essence of the sharing economy is the reorganization of the existing order, the reputation of the host is very important, even the parking on behalf of the non-Juchen original Internet products, but also because he joined the competition, became different, the New York City traffic management department for the first time and the company in-depth cooperation, in some sections of the road that were not allowed to park, as long as the parking service developed by the team of Juchen is used immediately after parking, you can be exempted from punishment.

This is tantamount to a bombshell for competitors, so much so that they have to file an administrative lawsuit against the traffic management department, accusing them of affecting fair competition.

There is no need for the traffic management department to respond, the Juchen team immediately responded, they will provide data services for all companies that provide similar services, as long as they meet the conditions of the traffic management department, they can use similar methods to access the platform. Needless to say, in order to cooperate with the data interface, the adversary needs at least a few months to develop, and they can't hand over the IT platform to a high-speed development platform like PCC, because that is controlled by the competitor.

During such a window period, the service of the parking app was immediately surpassed by the Juchen team, and it was still in the most competitive New York City.

Other metropolises have followed suit and publicly tendered similar service platforms to solve the problem of parking difficulties.

Because of the first-mover advantage, the Juchen team has won most of the orders, and has become the leader of this small market segment, which is global.

A small market segment has generated more than $100 million in revenue. Because the business was too small, Juchen didn't have the time to manage it personally, so he was ready to raise a ticket to pass on the risks and opportunities.

In addition to this project, which has gained a leading position, there are similar ride-hailing and taxi-hailing apps, all of which are packaged and listed together for financing, because the valuation is too low, it is better to hand it over to the stock market.

Juchen originally planned to value $1 billion, but due to his aura, the investment bank in charge of the IPO business recommended a valuation of $3 billion and officially listed on the NASDAQ.

His company was not listed, and the only IPO was still such a small thing, but it still won the trust of shareholders, and broke through the market value of $5 billion on the same day, even if he tweeted that "it seems that everyone is too enthusiastic, pay attention to investment risks", it still can't stop the madness of shareholders.

Such a small broken app is valued at 5 billion, alas!
