Chapter 277: Design [1]

Early in the morning, Totti and two strangers in shirts and ties asked to see Dohrin outside the manor, and that the Eighth Ward would break ground tomorrow, and Dohrin had told Totti at the time that the drawings of the playground project needed to be revised before it could be built. Now the two people he brought with him are designers specially hired by Albert's manager's company, who are responsible for supervising the construction process and building according to the drawings.

The three of them sat down in the side hall and waited about ten minutes for Doolin to appear. He was on the phone with Scott just now, and the city hall hopes to invite these 8th District 8 investors to cut the ribbon for the construction of the 8th District, and he hopes that everyone will be able to attend tomorrow's ceremony. This kind of ritual also began to rise from the Federation and spread to the Empire, the commercial atmosphere of the Federation was even stronger, hundreds of years ago the Federation was only a small loose union, and there was no concept of a state, and then the members of the Union did not know where to find a document that was said to be thousands of years old, and formed a state according to the agreement on the paper.

The status of businessmen in the Federation is very high, half of the members of the Supreme Executive Council of the Federation are business tycoons, and the whole society has a crazy worship of money. Anything that might be linked to money or interests, they firmly believed.

Before the Great Patriotic War, the citizens of the Shining Star Empire looked down on the Federation, and in the propaganda of the Empire, there lived a group of people who did anything evil for the sake of profit. They steal other people's children and sell them for money, parents and children compete for family property or wealth, and betray and sell each other, even husbands and wives divorce because of some interests. Whenever people talk about the Federation, it's like they're talking about some barbarian creatures that haven't evolved yet, and they don't seem to have even the most basic morals.

But after the Great Patriotic War, the arrogant Imperials tried their hand at the Commonwealth, and finally understood that the Confederation was not a weak and barbaric place, and that there was a civilized world as brilliant as the Empire. Perhaps it was precisely because of this war that the people of the empire were hurt and frightened, and people began to take the initiative to understand the Federation, and even learn advanced technology and experience from the Federation.

The ribbon-cutting is such a foreign product, and there will be ribbon-cutting ceremonies at some federal events, and they will invite local officials and celebrities to participate, one is to attract everyone's attention and attention, and the other is to please a good lottery head. This small method, which did not involve ideas and politics, was very popular when it was introduced into the Empire, even more so than in the Commonwealth.

The reason is simple, the weight of the officials of the empire is much heavier than that of the Federation, and if a ribbon-cutting ceremony can invite some heavyweight officials or celebrities, it will be more effective than advertising.

Durin agreed to Scott's invitation without even thinking about it, and then said something else before hanging up.

Totti stood up as soon as he saw Durin enter, and the two designers also stood up with some restraint after him.

"Sorry, there was a phone call that delayed a bit. Durin smiled apologetically and invited them to sit down, "Let's not stand here, sit down and talk, it just so happens that I may have a lot of things to say this time, do you bring paper and pens?", the two designers nodded, and then Durin talked about his idea.

"At the beginning, a lot of people were not optimistic about this amusement park, thinking that it would not be able to generate significant profits, and I did not agree with them. If our amusement park is aimed at teenagers and children, the profit may not meet the expected target or even lose money. But the people I want to target in this amusement park are middle-class families with spending power, as well as those who are willing to spend money on their idols, and there are huge profits here. ”

"I have an idea that this amusement park needs to be redesigned......", he pulls out a dot and will signal to the designers whether they smoke or not, then drops the cigarette case on the table, "I plan to make this amusement park the first theme park in the empire...... Theme parks are meant to give loose rides with no purpose a theme, and that theme is the movie!"

"From the moment you enter the gate of the amusement park, you will be able to point out the theme. I needed a gate design that would remind people of a famous movie at a glance, such as the famous castle gate from a movie, or some other building from another movie......"

Durin gave a makeover to the theme amusement parks he had seen in his dreams, he wanted to catch all the famous movies of the years, and also simply designed some amusement rides that had never appeared in this world, and asked someone to design them further. For the two designers, the ideas he gave opened a skylight into their brains, instilling information from all previous actions.

The two of them wrote down a lot of Durin's words as they were, and at the same time raised their own questions. Doolin is more interested in this amusement park project than other projects, and no matter how well a project like a shopping mall is done, it is a commercial cluster, which does not mean anything. But when the amusement park is done, it means that a culture is imperceptibly conveyed, when people take the pirate ship, people will think of the clip of riding the wind and waves in the pirate movie, and when they sit on the rapids, they will recall the thrill of drifting in the adventure movie.

This is an invisible and intangible "aggression", what if he puts all the gods of Guarte culture into the amusement park? If he puts some of his own private goods into the amusement park? People may not wake up at the first time, but the effect is real. This is only the first amusement park he has planned, and once it becomes popular, there will be a second, a third, and even more.

As the empire's economy recovers, people's living standards continue to rise in invisible places, and more and more people yearn for pleasure and satisfaction through consumption, which in the past was considered a "luxury". The economic benefits and the subtle cultural benefits are all things that Doolin is very interested in.

The social status of the Gualts is too low, and it does not mean that a certain person who becomes a world-famous person can change the world, change people's perception of the Gualts, and change their social status, which takes a long time and many people's efforts. He is working on it little by little, and hopes to achieve his goal one day.

This "discussion" was almost all about Durin's words, and as soon as he said it, it was from morning to noon, and if it wasn't for Dove's reminder that it was time to eat lunch, maybe Doolin wouldn't have felt hungry.

"Eat at my place at noon, and only when you're full will you have the strength to take out the blueprints. Doolin invited, and Totti left with the excuse that he had left the two designers, and he still needed to go to the construction site to watch.

During the meal, a designer asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Dulin, I have recorded these things in detail what you said, but if you build according to the design you requested, it may be ......", he smiled a little embarrassedly, "The construction cost will exceed the budget a lot!"

Du Lin waved his hand after hearing this, with a kind smile on his face, "Don't talk to me about money, money is never a problem!"

After eating, the three of them "discussed" for a while, and the two designers turned what Durin had expressed into simple sketches and descriptions before leaving Durin's estate. Standing outside the door with a chilly sea breeze, one of them glanced back, shook his head and sighed.

Another designer also had a helpless expression on his face.

It's not that what Dühring says is out of line, but in fact many of Dühring's ideas have inspired them a lot, such as the "All-Star Boulevard" that Dühring describes, which would be a place where bricks made of star palm prints or footprints will fill the streets. This idea alone can be said to be worth a thousand dollars. There can be an All-Star Avenue, is it possible to make an entrepreneur Avenue on Xie Lisi Street, or to create a Times Avenue outside the Imperial Palace?

Their sighs were directed at themselves, they were older than Doolin, but they had to run around for a living, and to look at Doolin again, they only had to sit in this luxurious manor and say a few words.

Maybe this is a successful person!

At ten o'clock the next morning, Durin got out of the car according to the time he had agreed with Scott, stepped on the red carpet and walked to the venue of the ribbon-cutting ceremony under the constant illumination of magnesium lights. At this time, there were already many people in the venue, in addition to the local rich and famous, those foreign forces who invested here also sent representatives. It may not be a big deal, but it's definitely not a small thing.

Alexander, who was chatting with someone, saw that Durin was coming, and immediately said goodbye, and walked towards Durin, and after the two met, Alexander asked in a low voice, "What is the situation with Juan, I heard that he has been arrested and sent to the imperial capital?"

Du Lin nodded, and said with a solemn face: "It is said that they are suspected of participating in a financial fraud case, and the fraud amount exceeds 10 million!"

Alexander gasped, his face was shocked, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "I'll just say how Juan suddenly had such the courage to dare to put his net worth up, it turns out that the money is not his!"

At this time, the news that Juan had mortgaged all his property had not yet spread, and anyone who knew about it could count it with five fingers in one slap.

"He's done something he shouldn't have done this time, and I hope he's not too involved!", Alexander sighed, he and Juan both started in Illian, and they can also be said to be good friends, with a kind of "comrade-in-arms" feeling.

Du Lin raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "I always believe that everyone has to pay for what they do, maybe good or bad!"
