Chapter 1055 The World's First Bungee Jump
Han Xuan saw Fat Ding stepping on the cement bare embryo and trotting towards the end of the suspended open-air platform.
I was curious why this guy wasn't afraid of heights, and then I heard the fat guy who had come to the end let out a frightened meow!
The fat cat hurriedly ran back, holding the owner's leg and meowing, looking pitiful.
Han Xuanle translated its words: "This guy is short, he can't see what the surroundings are like, and he thought it was a bridge, and he almost fell down." ”
It nodded, saying that it was pretty much that......
Pooh was too heavy to take the elevator and was still waiting downstairs.
Little Barry too, that giant panda is too stupid and cute, and it will be dangerous if you are not careful when you come to a high altitude.
I feel that it would be a good idea to build the world's tallest bungee jumping platform in downtown Los Angeles.
As he struggled with whether to turn this place into an apartment or open it to tourists, Mr. Merrill of SOM Architects received the news.
At that time, Han Xuan told him the idea of these buildings, so these three "miracle buildings" have only appeared now.
Today, SOM Architects is well-known in its field and has become the number one firm in the architectural design industry, receiving numerous large orders.
There is no shortage of good ideas in the design industry, but there is a lack of investors who can turn those ideas into reality, and now the SOS Spiral Building, Snow Mountain Four Towers, and Stark Building in the United States are SOM's best billboards.
Today, the firm's Los Angeles office has moved to an office building not far from Stark Tower.
Just so that when discussing business, I pointed to the building outside the window and said, "Look!
It was designed by our company designers, and our SOM's professionalism is the best in the world......"
Han Xuan often talks to Mr. Merrill on the phone, because there are many small problems in the process of building the building, and he needs to make decisions.
The old man and his grandfather handed over those things to Han Xuan, and they said: "Exercise communication skills and control." ”
The two shook hands.
As the head of these three projects, Merrill has lost a lot of weight in the past two or three years due to overwork, compared to the last time we met.
He can lie on the credit book of these projects for a lifetime, so he is extra dedicated to doing things.
The architect does not just draw the drawings, but also needs to coordinate with the construction party to build the building correctly according to the idea at the time of design.
In the case of spiral buildings, the slightest error can destroy the beauty of the entire building, making it look unnatural......
Merrill smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry!
I didn't know you were coming, you were checking the strength of the cement just now, otherwise I would have met you. ”
"It's okay, I suddenly wanted to come and see, and here I am.
I'm sorry to interrupt your work. ”
Han Xuan finished politely, and then asked him, "What are the test results?" ”
"Well, qualified.
The government has also accepted it, otherwise you will definitely not see it now, and it will be forcibly blown up. ”
Merrill shook hands with everyone present, and after listening to Han's lecture on the idea of bungee jumping, he said in a daze: "Such a high bungee platform?
If you want to get it right, you should have no problem building a staircase from the 89th or 90th floor, so you won't get in the way of your apartment.
But in that case, the helipad will not be used, and it will have to be separated to turn three helipads into two.
However, the security of your apartment is at risk, and many visitors can come up and play through the viewing channels.
On the Empire State Building, the price to reach the 86th floor is $32 for adults, $26 for children and $29 for seniors.
Arriving on the 100th floor is a little more expensive, $52 for adults, $46 for children, and $49 for seniors.
Your building has a lot higher ceilings than the Empire State Building, so it's only ninety-one floors.
I think it's a good idea to learn from the Empire State Building, so that I can make a lot of money every year, and I can make a lot of money from it, except for maintenance, security, and other expenses, which is a pure profit......"
Han Xuan nodded after listening, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he said: "If the two helipads are left, my apartment will not be built, anyway, my family's real estate in Los Angeles is too much to live in."
Turn the 91st floor into an observation deck, and then think about the ticket later, so contact the company that makes the bungee jumping equipment and ask them to design a set.
Remember to pay attention to safety, in case you accidentally fall from such a high place, even Iron Man will be smashed into meat sauce. ”
"Okay, as you wish.
I haven't started designing your apartment yet, I'll hire someone to renovate the platform tomorrow......"
******************
End the tour at Stark Tower.
After leaving, I went to Los Angeles International Airport, and the captain just called and said that he had applied for a route and could take off at any time.
After taking a moment, the car was secured in the cabin, and they flew east to Washington, D.C.
Han Xuan's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his ties with this city of American politics are also deepening, and this is his fourth visit to the SAR.
From the airport to the city center.
I didn't plan to stop when I passed near the White House, and went straight to the hotel not far away.
At this moment, I unexpectedly found a young man with slightly dark skin, chased by the police, and rushed straight to the road.
Gabriel, who was driving, instinctively wanted to hit the brakes, but he held back.
According to the standard procedure, if someone is driving and intends to approach the convoy or intercept the convoy, even if they hit it, they cannot stop and do not bear any legal responsibility.
Once stopped, it is more likely to be dangerous if you can't figure out what the other party is trying to do, so you must always keep mobile and flee.
Rolls-Royce has good ballistic performance, but after all, it is not an armored car, and parking becomes an old turtle locked in an urn.
Han Xuan's privileges are so domineering, similar to the president's motorcade.
The young man with slightly dark skin didn't expect these cars to be so arrogant, and when he saw that he was about to run to the road, he didn't stop, just honked his horn a few times.
Hurriedly rolled to the side of the road, avoiding Han Xuan's convoy, and then was pushed to the ground by the police who arrived.
Han Xuan was reading the book, Stephen King's "The Dark Tower IV: The Wizard and the Glass Ball", he didn't look at the front just now, and he didn't know what was going on.
At this moment, when I saw the scene of the police arresting people outside the window, I asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, maybe there are protesters making trouble again, protesting every day at the door of the White House." Secretary Dawson replied.
Looking at my watch, it was just over three o'clock in the afternoon.
There were still a few hours left before the seven o'clock agreed with Greenspan, and I didn't know where to go for a while, so I smiled and said, "Let's go to Clinton's place for a cup of tea, shall we?"
He did me a big favor last time and I can't thank him for it yet.
He said at the party, let me sit in his place, and I want to know what it's like to sit in the chair of the President of the United States. ”
Secretary Dawson, speechless:
"It's not just the chair.
It's certainly not as expensive as the one in your office, which cost a million dollars for the antique chair used by King Louis XIV. ”
"It's a charity auction, it doesn't represent the real value, okay, I feel cheated, sitting on my ass......"
