Chapter 72: Preparing for a rainy day (two shifts are over, asking for votes)

The company's new headquarters covers an area of about 140,000 square meters, the area of nearly 20 standard football fields, with an estimated construction investment of 8 billion, which must be completed by the end of 2019 at the latest, and can accommodate 12,000 people at the same time.

Covering an area of 140,000 square meters, Gu Cheng's design is inspired by the concept of "cells", which sees the whole building as an organism composed of cells that are growing and multiplying, creating a design that looks like a cell in a leaf.

The crystal appearance is like a water crystal sprinkled on the surface, bringing a different kind of vitality and visual feast to the Changfeng area.

The new headquarters campus in Changfeng District consists of three buildings forming a unified whole, taking into account how to respond to the surrounding environmental conditions and reduce the consumption of energy and resources.

By designing a hexagonal honeycomb structure with different rules to form a modular system, the different departmental buildings in the campus are integrated into a whole, and the public spaces are connected together.

These honeycomb structures create a single block with minimal building materials, and the structure and overall layout require careful calculations and design, followed by careful engineering simulations, and finally the structures are joined in a rather complex way.

Under this design concept, Tianqing headquarters is composed of three relatively independent and integrated buildings: office center, data computing center, and technical reserve center.

The buildings surround a large public courtyard supported by elaborate steel columns and topped by a semi-open-air canopy.

The courtyard is located in the center and extends to the south and is the protective shell of the entire building. This open-air courtyard makes the entire park present a southeast-facing balcony, allowing the cool breeze to pass through here, completing the function of heat dissipation and ventilation.

At the same time, it can also facilitate the expansion of the northern park in the future.

The shape of the roof is specially designed to enhance air flow and allow it to catch the natural wind, so these holes in the shape of leaf cells are called "wind catchers".

The façade of the building has a series of geometric patterns of different shapes, which are not only decorative to the façade, but also to achieve the function of bringing in light.

The façade is not only durable, but also resistant to extreme weather conditions, and the pure lines make the picture geometric.

There is a high level of transparency throughout the building to encourage active communication, and the design between the floors and slabs is strategic, so that the view of the view is not affected on which level.

In terms of interior design, the entire interior space matches the temperament of the building itself, which is a simple and efficient style.

The work area is dominated by white tones, with the same geometric design on the walls as the building surface, and the lighting is set up as a light strip with straight lines, which further enhances the rhythm of the space and reflects a very futuristic atmosphere.

The beauty of the exterior and the consistency of the interior design of the entire building of Tianqing Headquarters can be said to be a landmark representative work of Changfeng District.

There are many different types of architectural spaces in Changfeng District, with roads, subways, and the TQG Club complex nearby, which are intertwined and converged here, and will inevitably become the most connected point and new landmark in Changfeng District in the future.

In this context, the Tianqing Technology Headquarters building is an infrastructure for the commercial capital, consisting of a series of interchangeable elements to ensure that the building and its workspace will remain resilient and flexible in the future.

Gu Cheng just set the general planning pattern of the headquarters in his heart, and then handed it over to the architectural design firm, which can only be completed by professional top architectural designers, and the external bidding can be done by major architectural design firms.

And the smooth days of this only lasted for more than half a month.

This morning, Qiu Shiming came to Gu Cheng's office, and as soon as he came in, he said: "Mr. Gu, have you paid attention to the latest news on the North American "National Interest" website recently? ”

"What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng has been pondering the design of the headquarters of Tianqing Company recently, and he can't help but care about this matter, one is the super investment plan of 20 billion yuan, and the other is related to the accumulation of the headquarters and corporate culture of Tianqing Technology in the next few decades, especially the accumulation of heritage and the orientation of corporate culture.

Qiu Shiming said: "Recently, an article was published on the website of the North American "National Interest", mainly a senior Pentagon general publicly commented on the purchase of the first batch of military exoskeletons from Huaguo Company, that is, Tianqing, for $7.8 billion, claiming that military exoskeletons as a new concept of weapons and equipment have a lot of uncertainties, and expressed concern about Shate's move. ”

Gu Cheng grinned when he heard this: "Hey~~ worried? The meaning of the whole article is actually to remind Sate not to buy this set of military products, which is high-sounding. ”

Qiu Shiming said in a deep voice: "I'm more worried about whether there will be potential changes? The Americans are too familiar with this routine, referring to previous cases, they all send a Pentagon person to complain first, and then you can't tell what cards he will play. ”

"The concern is not unreasonable, according to the transaction scale of 400 billion US dollars in the global defense trade market last year, we will eat 7.8 billion US dollars in a single order this time, almost 2% of the share, North American defense contractors are estimated to be in a hurry, we are grabbing their jobs, but also in the high-tech field to compete for the commanding heights." Gu Cheng nodded and said.

The list of $7.8 billion is only the most direct and eye-catching figure, and military products are different from ordinary civilian commodities, especially high-tech weapons, and the cost of maintenance in the later stage is the majority.

After that, Gu Cheng didn't say a word, thinking in his heart that this matter was indeed worth paying attention to.

At the beginning, he gave advice to the local tyrants, instigated the "big dogs" to buy both ends, and fed the defense contractors in North America, so they didn't make a fuss, anyway, the local tyrants had money, and it was no different from the wind, and they didn't feel sorry for the money.

It's just that Gu Cheng can only instigate that whether the local tyrant will buy both ends in the end is not something that Tianqing Technology can control.

"By the way, how many chips are currently in reserve from the United States? In particular, MEAS supplies sensors. Gu Cheng suddenly thought of this and hurriedly asked.

Thinking of the supply of chips, Gu Cheng couldn't help but worry, the major modules of the exoskeleton itself, the chip is undoubtedly one of the core hardware, and there are 19 different chips of all sizes inside, half of which rely on imports from the Americans.

For a long time, the chip industry has been a short board of Huaguo.

If at this juncture, Lao Mei suddenly gives you a neck jam in the chip, it will be uncomfortable.

Gu Cheng has technology in his head, but in addition to technology, the semiconductor industry is more critical to the close supply chain system scattered around the world, not any less link, and there is also a problem of patent barriers, which is almost unavoidable, unless the existing rules of the game are violently overturned, it is no different from doing it against the whole world, which in turn proves that the semiconductor industry is really difficult.

"At present, the stock of 19 types of chips is 6.32 million pieces, which can probably meet the supply of about 330,000 sets of exoskeleton chips." Qiu Shiming replied.

"That's good, there is no need to worry about breaking the contract for the time being." Gu Cheng nodded, and said after a while: "Your strategy of 'consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan' for the company's current contraction and expansion strategy seems to be extremely correct, this potential risk does not happen, but once it happens, it is really extremely tricky." ”

After thinking about it, Gu Cheng concluded: "In this way, Lao Qiu, the company has further shrunk, the production and sale of medical machinery are limited, everything is based on the supply of 20,000 sets of military exoskeletons of local tyrants, and the list of 50 billion cannot go wrong, and the budget here has been 200 billion, and the company will be in ironclad shock." The other is to prepare 2 million pieces of various chip modules as soon as possible, ensure the smooth delivery of 20,000 sets of military exoskeletons, and ensure the supply of components and chip modules in the next five years. ”

"Understood!"

Qiu Shiming nodded, and Gu Cheng added again: "Another one is taking advantage of the current situation to buy the corresponding chips as soon as possible to reserve, I have a bad premonition, I have to prepare in advance to hedge potential risks, and I don't panic when I have surplus food at home, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Don't expect the US imperialists to reason with you, they will never be reasonable if they can not reason with you, and they will only come over to reason with you when they really have nothing to do with you. ”
