Chapter 208: The design of the tall building begins

A week later, a silver-haired old man and several foreigners, led by Lian Bin, walked to the steps of the SS Building. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The silver-haired old man is Adrian Smith, the designer of the Burj Khalifa, and several others are his assistants.

Shi Lin instructed Lian Bin to take his private jet and go directly to country M to pick up Adrian Smith.

After Adrian Smith arrived in Rongcheng, Shi Lin arranged for three Rolls-Royces of SS Company to form a convoy to pick him up at Rongcheng Airport.

It can be said that the reception specifications arranged by the stone forest are grand enough, and Adrian Smith is also very moved, even if he is busy, he has to go to the mysterious China.

Adrian Smith looked at the palatial SS Building in front of him and felt that the design of this building was quite acceptable.

A week ago, Lian Bin contacted him, saying that SS was going to build the world's tallest building, and wanted to invite him as a designer, and asked him to come to Huaxia to communicate with their boss Shi Lin.

When Adrian Smith first heard it, he just smiled, there are many companies that want to invite him to design skyscrapers over the years, all of them want to design the world's tallest building, but none of them can really be put in place, most of them are due to financial reasons, and finally what is the world's tallest building, transformed into a 100-meter-high building.

The slogan was shouted very loudly, but it was too difficult to achieve in the end, and I don't know how many discounts it took.

Adrian Smith hung up the phone after refusing, and recently he also wanted to rest for a while, so he leaned back in his chair and picked up the magazine Time on the table.

[Huaxia Stone Forest, the boss of SS Company, the king of the younger generation, sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars in cash!] On the cover, a smiling and extremely confident young man, wearing a strange costume, stood on the hosting stage, as if giving a speech.

SS Company?

Smith was a little confused, the caller just now said, it seems that the introduction is from SS company, right?

Smith slapped his head and regretted it: how could he refuse!

When he was wondering, his office phone rang again, looking at the number, as if it was the same as the phone number just now, Smith quickly answered the phone and asked politely, "Hello, is it from SS Company?"

"Hello Mr. Smith, I am Lian Bin of SS Company, our boss sincerely invites you, I want to trouble you to design the world's tallest building, if there is no problem, our boss will arrange his private jet to pick you up in country M, I will be the receptionist. Excuse me, what concerns does Mr. Smith have?"

Lian Bin on the other end of the phone was also a little anxious, if he didn't complete the task assigned by the boss, he felt that he had betrayed the trust of the boss.

Private Jet Reception?!

Such a high-end, high-grade, grand reception specification?

Smith was a little panicked and said politely: "Hello, it's no problem to go to Huaxia, I will arrange for my team to go over with me as soon as possible, and I don't need to be received by private jet, so I don't have to be so troublesome." ”

"Mr. Smith, our boss said that you are his honored guest, and that you should be treated like that. If that's all right,......"

Lian Bin was extremely happy to hear that the matter was done, so he communicated with Smith about the things that needed attention.

Adrian Smith recalled the way he communicated with Lian Bin, the receptionist, a week ago, and he was a little ridiculous, the unceremonious refusal at the beginning, and the surprise and flattery later, the emotions were like a roller coaster.

When I came to the gate of the building, I saw a young man in a straight suit, with a smile on his face, and his appearance was very similar to the young man in Time Magazine.

"Mr. Smith, welcome to Huaxia, to SS Company, the journey has been hard!" Shi Lin looked at the silver-haired old man and walked with Lian Bin, this should be Smith, and stepped forward to shake hands with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Shilin, you are so polite!" Smith shook his hand very politely.

Several people shook hands with each other, exchanged pleasantries, walked into the elevator, and came to Shi Lin's office.

After Shi Lin invited Smith and the others to sit down, he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Smith, I want to build two 888-meter-high buildings, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"

Smith took a sip of hot tea and said with a light smile: "Mr. Shi, if you say a suggestion, it is not a good suggestion, the appearance of a super high-rise building is beautiful, but it will cause a series of related problems such as fire safety hazards and low cost performance due to high cost, I don't know if you have considered it?"

Shi Lin didn't expect that Smith didn't advocate him to build it from the beginning, but made all kinds of shortcomings clear to him as soon as he opened his mouth, and Shi Lin had a better impression of him.

Shi Lin was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Well, I've thought about this question, money is nothing to me, and the most worrying thing is security." ”

Smith blushed and smiled, "If money isn't a problem, then everything isn't a problem."

In fact, skyscrapers can also become local icons and become tourism destinations, and Rongcheng is indeed a good place with dense population and fast economic development. ”

"Mr. Smith, I want to establish a love village, I don't know if you have heard of it? Shi Lin explained to him that he didn't want to build in Rongcheng, all kinds of inconveniences, and the scenic spot would not necessarily be worse than Rongcheng in the future.

Smith was not surprised, and said: "Oh, of course I understand, as an industry, how can I not understand it, at first I thought Mr. Shilin was joking, investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build a tourist attraction."

However, with the start of the first phase of your scenic spot, the funds are fully in place, and I no longer doubt that Mr. Shi is a practical entrepreneur, I admire it very much, unlike those who engage in finance, to be honest, I don't like it very much. ”

The more Smith spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was confident about everything: "Mr. Shi, if I want to design a skyscraper, I have to understand its purpose, that is, the structural function. Any product design, first of all, to clarify its purpose, and then according to its several parameters to design. ”

Shi Lin nodded and said, "That's right, a total of two buildings will be built, one building will be used as the headquarters of SS Company and will not be open to the public, and the other building, as you said, will be used as a top hotel, sightseeing, catering, high-end club, specialty store, etc. ”

Generally speaking, the construction area of a skyscraper is nearly one million square meters, which is enough to accommodate twenty or thirty thousand people, and Shi Lin does not think that the people of SS Company can fill a building.

"I don't know what the geology is like at that location? If the geology is soft, it is more difficult to build, and there is a typhoon phenomenon, after all, a building of nearly a kilometer must have a high enough torsional resistance.

Of course, these must be measured on site before design, and the design is also designed according to the highest safety factor, and there will be no such thing as a once-in-a-century or once-in-a-millennium event. Smith spoke eloquently, writing down Shi Lin's request in a cheat notebook as he spoke, "Mr. Shi, are you sure that the height must be 888 meters? )
