Chapter 147, under cooperation
"Then I can ask, how big is the amount of Mr. Lei's project, can you have an approximate number, after all, hundreds of millions is too general, more than 100 million to more than 900 million can be called hundreds of millions!" Zheng Mingyuan asked again.
"Lei Shao! The larger the amount of work and the more accurate the figures, the easier it is to move the leadership, and it is also a troublesome matter to let mainland construction companies come to Hong Kong. After all, this matter still needs the nod of the Hong Kong British government, otherwise our people will not be able to get by. President Liang continued.
"It's not that I don't give you accurate numbers, it's really that I don't know how big the project is!" Lei Weidong explained helplessly.
"I can only say that the amount of work is so large for many companies in Hong Kong that it is too big for any construction company in Hong Kong to eat!" Lei Weidong continued: "I plan to build buildings on all 23 plots of land, and they will be built at the same time. ”
"It's just that I don't know how high the floors can be built on each plot and how big the construction area is, because the size of the land and the load-bearing capacity of the ground need to be considered, which needs to be designed by a special design institute, and the financial pressure is not considered! The main consideration is the construction time and cost! ”
"Only consider the construction time and cost!" Zheng Mingyuan asked.
"Yes!" Lei Weidong nodded and said: "What I mean is very simple, how high can the building be built under the condition of considering the approval process, construction cost, construction time, etc. For sites in prosperous areas such as Central and Causeway Bay, I recommend building at least 25-storey buildings. Mr. Zheng, you also know the area of those plots, and if you add the interior decoration works of the building, I believe that this project should not be small.
"Why consider 25 floors, no higher is enough!" Zheng Mingyuan continued to ask.
"Isn't that where the fire ordinance is?" Lei Weidong said.
"Hong Kong's Fire Services Ordinance stipulates that residential buildings have up to 25 floors and developers are required to have fireproof floors between the floors. If the height of the building is more than 25 storeys but not more than 40 storeys above the lowest ground floor, the roof of the building can be regarded as a fire refuge floor. Looking at Lei Weidong's gestures, Liu Yueqin explained.
I see! Zheng Mingyuan is also a department-level cadre, and Liu Yueqin said that if the construction time and approval time are considered, the 25-story skyscraper is the most suitable.
However, even if it is only built to 25 floors, the amount of work is not small, 23 buildings, and most of them are commercial buildings, covering an area of more than 6,000 square meters at the earliest, and more than 20,000 square meters at the largest.
There are also building materials or something, there are no building materials in Hong Kong, these must be purchased from the mainland, and all of them must be done by mainland companies, and the price code must not be too little, otherwise the above will definitely not pass.
After listening to Lei Weidong's introduction, Zheng Mingyuan knew that the amount of this project must be very large, and it can be said that there is no real estate project in Hong Kong that has built so many buildings at one time, and the total investment of such a large project is estimated to be at least hundreds of millions of US dollars as Lei Weidong said.
That's more than the country's foreign exchange reserves, plus you can use this opportunity to make good deals with Hong Kong property developers.
In Zheng Mingyuan's view, as long as President Liang can find the right leader, the leader is likely to give the green light to support the project.
Of course, because Lei Weidong has already said that because the design institute has not yet been invited to design, I don't know how big the project will be, and President Liang and Zheng Mingyuan will go back to report to the leadership, so the detailed situation cannot be discussed now. So the two sides made an appointment to meet next time and discuss in detail.
However, when leaving, Zheng Mingyuan recommended the mainland design institute to Lei Weidong to design, and Lei Weidong thought about it and agreed.
Although Lei Weidong felt that the designers in the mainland were too old-fashioned and outdated in foreign designers because of the layout and vision.
However, Lei Weidong does not want to be different, you must know that there are not too many buildings built in the United States that have been built for a hundred years. Many New York buildings were built in the thirties and forties, and now they look old-fashioned but they are also used very well, so to speak, as long as it is not a five-star hotel and other buildings that need to be attractive in appearance, ordinary commercial buildings can use ordinary models.
The unconventional buildings that Lei Weidong saw in later generations are like complaining, you built a novelty, but considering the safety issues, just like the CCTV building, if there is a fire in the middle, how the people above will run is a problem.
Moreover, the cost of the unconventional design is extremely high, Lei Weidong can not spend $1 billion to build a building like HSBC, and Lei Weidong does not have so much money to smash on it.
After saying that, with the words of designers in the mainland, the design cost can also be left a large part. Of course, Lei Weidong also said that he has a lot of requirements that must be met when the designer designs. In this regard, Zheng Mingyuan patted his chest and promised that he would definitely be able to meet Lei Weidong's requirements.
"Liang Lao, wait a minute!" When President Liang and Zheng Mingyuan said goodbye and were about to leave, they suddenly stopped each other.
"Mr. Lei, what's the matter!" Zheng Mingyuan asked.
"Liang Lao! Mr. Zheng, I heard that the mainland has just resumed the college entrance examination, and because of the shortage of funds, many schools can't even scrape together the money for students' books. As he spoke, Lei Weidong took out his checkbook and wrote down a number.
"The meager strength is not a tribute, take me to pay tribute to the workers of the education cause in the mainland!" As he spoke, Lei Weidong handed over the check.
"1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Looking at the numbers on the check, President Liang and Zheng Mingyuan couldn't help but exchange glances.
"On behalf of the students in the mainland, I would like to thank Lei Shao for his generosity!" President Liang grabbed Lei Weidong's hands and thanked him constantly.
As the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, if the check was given to President Liang and Zheng Mingyuan, the two would never accept it, but Lei Weidong donated to the cause of education in the mainland, and considering the difficult situation of the country, President Liang took the cheque in charge.
----------
"Adong! Why do you have to cooperate with a mainland construction company? After President Liang and Zheng Mingyuan left, Zhong Chuhong raised a question, there are many Hong Kong people who don't know about the mainland, and unfortunately Honggu and Liu Yueqin are both of them.
For this reason, Lei Weidong must find a way to dispel Zhong Chuhong and Liu Yueqin's concerns, you must know that without the help of the two, Lei Weidong will have trouble doing a lot of things.
"It's very simple, Ah Hong, the price of the mainland construction company is cheap! You also know that now HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have refused to give us loans, and now we can only rely on our own funds to build, of course, it will be cheaper! ”
"How cheap can it be!" Liu Yueqin's brain was about to explode because of the loan during this time, and when she heard Lei Weidong say that the price could be cheap, she was naturally very concerned.
