Chapter 169: The Troubles of Happiness
Zurich, Switzerland, Calatrava Architects, Santiago Calatrava feels that he has not had a good time lately, he is one of the most well-known architects in the world, since the main stadium of the Athens Olympics in 04, he has not received an architectural design that makes his blood boil for many years, and every time he receives an order, he is not interested.
"Hey, Calatrava, how are you doing?" Calatrava's friend Paul walked into his office and asked with a smile.
Calatrava shook his head depressedly and said, "It's terrible! ”
Paul poured himself a glass of boiled water, took a sip and asked, "Is it because there has never been a design that excites you?" ”
Calatrava said bluntly: "Yes, now that my architectural firm has received very few orders of tens of millions of euros, how can I design all my ideas?" ”
"I've heard that a company is going to build a headquarters building recently, and now it's asking for a tender from all over the world for a design proposal, and I think you can try it," Paul said. ”
Calatrava asked with interest, "Oh, is it?" How much money does the company plan to spend on building their headquarters? ”
Paul smiled and said, "1.5 billion dollars!" ”
"What?" Calatrava squirted out a mouthful of water, "Paul, my friend, how much did you say?" ”
Paul said: "1.5 billion US dollars, almost a billion euros. ”
Karathka I was immediately interested, and quickly asked, "Paul, what company is this?" There was such a big deal to build the headquarters building. ”
Paul said: "It is a Chinese company called Huaxia Myth Group. ”
"Mythical Group?" Calatrava silently read it a few times and then asked suspiciously: "Is this company very rich?" How come I haven't heard of it? It stands to reason that I have heard of any company that is willing to spend $1.5 billion on a headquarters building. ”
Paul laughs: "This company has only been around for two years, and it's a game-based web company, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. How about it, old friend, are you interested in taking this order? I think with your level, you should be able to win the design plan this time. ”
Calatrava became excited, "Of course I'm going to participate in the bidding for the architectural design of this mythical group, the billion-euro headquarters building, it's exciting to think about!" ”
……
Huaxia, mountain city, Shinhwa Group headquarters building.
"Dong Li, I heard that your Mythical Group is going to spend $1.5 billion to build its own headquarters building?" Wang Shaowu's voice was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
Since the mythical group announced that it would invest $1.5 billion to build its own headquarters building, people who knew Li Haoyu and the senior management of the mythical group have called to ask, some of them are building materials companies and want to provide building materials for the construction of the headquarters building of the mythical group, some are construction machinery companies, and some simply want to contract the construction of the entire mythical building, Wang Shaowu is the most reluctant.
"Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with me?" Li Haoyu came and pretended to be crazy and stupid.
Wang Shaowu said: "Dong Li, it's not me boasting, my Capital Real Estate Company is definitely among the top three construction teams in the country, so I want to come to explore Dong Li's tone." Let's see if we can wait for the construction of the Mythical Building to be built by our Capital Professional Company. Chairman Li, please rest assured, our company's construction engineering team has relevant experience in building this kind of plan, and the technology is strong, absolutely in accordance with the drawings to build, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts! ”
Li Haoyu said helplessly: "Mr. Wang, this matter is still early, and now even the architectural design plan has not been determined, let's talk about it later." ”
Wang Shaowu said regretfully: "Then that's it, Li Dong, with our friendship, you have to give priority to our capital professional company!" ”
Just hung up Wang Shaowu's phone, and the phone of Zhu Wanting, the future mother-in-law, came over again, "Haoyu, Mr. Wang called you just now?" What do you think. ”
As soon as Li Haoyu heard it, he knew that this was his mother-in-law who had come to be a lobbyist for Wang Shaowu, and said: "Auntie, I haven't decided on this matter yet, after all, it's 1.5 billion US dollars, I don't dare to make a decision too hastily." ”
Zhu Wanting said on the other end of the phone: "Haoyu, your caution is right, it is better to think about everything clearly." Mr. Wang's capital professional company is still very powerful, Haoyu, you can consider their company in the future. ”
She is still very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, a company that has just been established for two years has become one of the giants in the Chinese game industry in such a short period of time, and it still has a lot of influence abroad. The speed of making money is a few points faster than that of the money printing machine, and within two years, it has quickly become a large company with a registered capital of less than 10 million US dollars into a large company with nearly 3 billion US dollars, and if the mythical group group is listed, then its market value will at least exceed 10 billion US dollars, which is comparable to her Nebula Group.
The most important thing is that Li Haoyu has not been lost after having so much money, and he still likes his daughter so much as always, and he doesn't see the breath of a nouveau riche at all, which is particularly satisfying to Zhu Wanting.
Li Haoyu smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, don't worry, if you want to officially start construction in the future, you will definitely have to open the bidding, and under the same conditions, I will give priority to Mr. Wang's company." ”
"Haoyu, that's what I said, which company to choose depends on your own ideas," Zhu Wanting said: "Yuqing will stay in Yanjing for a while in the next few days, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Haoyu rubbed his temples with a headache, these people are his old friends, it is really difficult to refuse directly when he calls, he can't refuse directly, and don't offend them, how to phrase it is a headache.
What a blissful annoyance!
Li Haoyu now misses Li Yayan very much, when he was there before, where did he need to worry about these things, at most as soon as he turned off the phone, he could go to the free time by himself. It's just that now Li Yayan and Lin Zhendong went to Europe for their honeymoon in advance, and it is okay to use the phone to command remotely, and they have no power to deal with these things.
"Chairman, let me give you a massage." Bai Ling put down the document bag in his hand, with a look of regret in his eyes, and came to Li Haoyu's back and said.
Li Haoyu was feeling a headache, and said happily when he heard this: "Bailing, will you massage?" It's so nice that you help me with the massage. ”
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Chairman, my massage technique is not very good, you are not allowed to laugh at me later." As he spoke, he stretched out his slender jade finger and put it on the top of Li Haoyu's head and gently massaged it.
Li Haoyu rarely goes to receive massages, so Bailing's massage techniques are not clear, but I think her massage is not light or heavy, and the brain that was still hurting just now was slowly relieved with Bailing's gentle massage, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and hummed comfortably, and said: "Bailing, you massage well, just now you also said that the massage techniques are not good, I think you are not worse than those regular masseurs." ”
Bai Ling said happily: "Chairman, then I will give you a massage every day in the future." ”
Li Haoyu thought for a while and said, "This is not good. ”
Bai Ling's expression darkened, and the hand he was massaging was also stiff, "Chairman, am I not massaging well enough?" ”
Li Haoyu said half-jokingly: "Of course it's not bad, but Bailing, you massage too well, if you come to give me a massage every day, won't I have to pay you double your salary?" Nowadays, the price of a masseur is very expensive, and I can't afford to pay your masseur salary. ”
"Chairman, who wants you to give me double salary, I just see that you have such a headache every day, and I want to help reduce your burden, this is my job as a secretary." Bai Ling said angrily when he heard this.
After joking with Bai Ling for a while, Li Haoyu felt much more comfortable and asked, "Bai Ling, do I have any important arrangements recently?" ”
Bai Ling's hand was still gently massaging Li Haoyu's head, and he said without thinking: "Chairman, the more important activities in recent days are, at ten o'clock in the morning on October 2, I will participate in the Xishan Swordsman Legend and Xunyou Myth Network Accelerator Product Launch, and I will go to Shancheng University to give a speech at two o'clock in the afternoon on October 3. On October 4th, you are going to meet a well-known architect from Switzerland, and by the way, I will summon you tomorrow at 3 p.m. ”
"Do you want to see me?" Li Haoyu was a little stunned.
**Remember that the former Shancheng is really Huang Lei, he finally turned positive at the beginning of 2015 and became the leader of Shancheng. If Huang Lei wanted to see him, Sun Changmao would usually call his mobile phone directly to notify him, but this time he called the company, obviously a very formal meeting, probably because of the Mythical Building.
Li Haoyu narrowed his eyes, he hadn't been in contact with the number one leader of the mountain city for a while, and this time he happened to meet him, and he also got the land of the Mythical Mansion in order.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed Sun Changmao, the phone was quickly connected, and Li Haoyu asked bluntly: "Brother Sun, if you want to see me tomorrow, is it because of the matter of the Mythical Mansion." ”
Sun Changmao said with a smile: "Of course this is this matter, the secretary attaches great importance to the construction of the headquarters building of your Mythical Group, and he specially invited the relevant leading comrades of the Urban Construction Bureau to come over and discuss with you the issue of the Mythical Building, and I want to do my best to give you support." But you'll also have to build the Mythical Group into a new landmark in our mountain city. ”
Li Haoyu smiled, the Mythical Group and Huang Lei are now on the same front, and Huang Lei also joined the faction where Xiao Mingsong was located under Li Haoyu's matchmaking and became the general of this faction. Li Haoyu is Xiao Mingsong's quasi-son-in-law, so they can be regarded as a family, and Huang Lei can help him with this. Moreover, the continuous development of the mythical group is also Huang Lei's political achievement, and the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial.
