The headquarters building of the mythical group designed by Calatrava looks a bit like a human figure without a head in appearance, Li Haoyu remembered the head of Xingtian who was cut off by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor at first sight of this rendering, and it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas: "Xingtian and the emperor fought for God here, the emperor cut off his head, and buried in the mountain of Changyang." It is to take ru as the goal, take the umbilicus as the mouth, and do the work to dance. ”

"Mr. Calatrava, this look quite novel, where did you find the inspiration?" Li Haoyu asked.

Calatrava looked pale and said: "Chairman Li, your company's requirements for design are to reflect the mythological connotation of China as much as possible. Chairman Li, are you still satisfied with this appearance? ”

Li Haoyu nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed very attractive, Xingtian is also a well-known mythological figure in our Huaxia, and it is indeed very good to use this as the appearance of our company's headquarters building." Mr. Calatrava, please continue to introduce me to your work. ”

"Chairman Li, the outermost layer of your company's headquarters building is a double-glazed curtain wall structure, with two layers of glass curtain wall between the inside and outside of the building, and the space in the middle can effectively ensure the temperature and humidity inside the building and reduce the energy usage rate of the building. In addition, the main structure of the building is an arched steel structure, and not a single column is visible in the interior of the building, so that the available space is greatly enhanced......"

Calatrava was very excited when he talked about his masterpiece, and regardless of whether Li Haoyu could understand the technical terms he said, he foamed at the mouth and said the highlights of the design he designed one by one. Li Haoyu couldn't interrupt him when he saw him so excited, so he had to listen to Calatrava finish drowsily.

"Mr. Calatrava, you can see that you have put a lot of effort into designing this building, and I hope that your design will become the headquarters of our Mythical Group. By the way, our headquarters building must be able to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher, and in addition, we must be able to prevent the collapse of the World Trade Center building in 2001 after the 911 incident in 2001. ”

Calatrava patted his chest and said, "Chairman Li, rest assured, our design definitely meets your company's safety requirements, and even exceeds it." ”

Li Haoyu nodded, still believing in Calatrava's promise, and asked: "Our Mythical Group has a total of 200 acres of land this time, and about 150 acres of land in addition to the construction of the headquarters building, how have you done the planning of these lands?" ”

Calatrava moved the mouse, and a panorama appeared on the computer screen, pointing to the screen: "This is where we expect to build the headquarters building, here to build a five-star hotel, here to build a shopping center, and here the vacant land is a park covering about ten acres for your company's employees and other people who come to play to rest." Here's the rendering we made, do you see what comments you have? He picked up the mouse and operated for a while, and a panoramic rendering appeared on the computer screen, and the headquarters building, shopping mall, five-star hotel and park of the Mythical Group were all presented in front of Li Haoyu's eyes with the finished effect.

Li Haoyu looked at this rendering and had to admit that if it was completely according to Calatrava's design, then the vicinity of the headquarters building of the Mythical Group would not only become a new landmark in Shancheng, but even one of the most prosperous areas in the entire southwest.

"Mr. Calatrava, your design is excellent, but it will take about a few years for this series of buildings to be fully completed? How much money would be needed for the construction other than the headquarters building? Li Haoyu asked all the questions in his heart.

Calatrava said: "Chairman Li, with all due respect, in the case of funds in place, it will take at least three years for the construction unit to work day and night to cap your company's headquarters building, plus the construction and decoration of other buildings, it will take four and a half to five years to be fully delivered." As for the question of funding, the headquarters building is about 1.45 billion yuan, and perhaps a small amount of additional funds will be needed, and the other buildings will cost about 500 million US dollars, and the total amount will not exceed 2 billion US dollars. ”

Li Haoyu sighed in his heart, he also knew that he was in a hurry, but at present, the headquarters building of the Mythical Group has long been full, and several studios are working in rented office buildings not far from the headquarters, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the completion of this new headquarters building.

It's just that this money is not enough to spend at all, Xbox has subsidized nearly 100 million US dollars in more than a month, and with the best-selling of Xbox in the future, the subsidy funds need to be further increased. Fortunately, judging from the profitability of the mythical group, the annual profits can be used to subsidize the bottomless pit of Xbox in addition to the construction of this headquarters building.

"Funding is not a problem, Mr. Calatrava, you have to negotiate with the construction unit to complete the headquarters building as soon as possible under the premise of ensuring safety."

Calatrava said: "Chairman Li, don't worry, if my design wins the bid, I will temporarily move my architectural office to the mountain city in the past few years to follow up the construction of the construction unit in real time." ”

Li Haoyu suddenly remembered that he was planning to build an intelligent house like Bill Gates, and now there is a well-known designer here, so he asked Calatrava to design it together by the way, and said: "Mr. Calatrava, I have something I want to trouble you to help with." ”

Calatrava said happily: "Chairman Li, please say, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want to build a house recently, and I want to ask you to help me design it." Li Haoyu said directly.

Calatrava pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman Li, I'm afraid I won't be available recently, and we still need to make the most extensive optimization in your company's architectural design." If our design wins the bid, we still need to discuss the design with the construction unit in the early stage, and it is estimated that if you are not in a hurry, Chairman Li, it is estimated that I will be free to design a new home for you in about half a year. ”

Li Haoyu nodded, Calatrava was also very reasonable, and besides, his house was not in a hurry, and it was important to put an end to the affairs of the headquarters building.
