Chapter 959
"Mr. Smith, if I can, I certainly hope to build higher, let me take the geological structure and soil test results to show you, and you can understand it too, Mr. Cheng." Li Linfei turned around and walked towards the filing cabinet, taking out a grey file bag containing the survey information of the Provincial Geological Survey Bureau on the geology of the scenic spot.
Smith took the document, the geological structure and soil test information was in Chinese and English, which he could also read.
Cheng Ming and Smith's assistant were also on the side, and when Smith finished reading, they also continued to read.
About an hour later, Smith was full of joy and said to Li Linfei, "Mr Li, I can't imagine that the geology there is so strong, the surface layer of clay may not be anything, it is more suitable for planting. There are no caves either, so you could say it's the best geology for building a skyscraper."
"Boss, if a skyscraper of thousands of metres is built, it may be more difficult to build and approve." Cheng Ming, who was sitting at the side, had to remind Li Linfei.
"Well, that's true, if it doesn't work, I'll figure out this procedure for approval in the end." Li Linfei
There was a silence, he also knew that there had never been an example in the country if building a building of thousands of metres, but still insisted on his point of view.
"Mr Smith, I'll leave the design to you, the design fee is not a problem."
Smith hesitated and spread his hands to indicate no problem: "Of course, no problem, and I am happy to do something so fulfilling, Mr. Lee, what about the two buildings, is there a height limit?"
Li Linfei leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes, pondered for half a second, then leisurely opened his eyes, full of brilliant light, as if he had made up his mind, and said with his palm in his hand, "The first one, 999 metres, I think, can be used as the company's headquarters; the other one, 1688 metres, can be used as a business card of the attraction, open to the public.
"999 metres and 1,688 metres? Apart from Smith, it seemed that, unsurprisingly, several other people took these two figures by surprise.
Cheng Ming, in particular, was unable to say a word for half a day, and only after a long time did he mutter: "My God, the boss is too ambitious, it's a big deal! 999 metres, he thought, was already shocking enough, but 1688 metres, it really wants to challenge the limits of the architectural world, it's hard not to be shocked!
Smith smiled and said excitedly, "Well, yes, does Mr Li have a particular interest in the shape of buildings?"
"That's not true." Li Linfei said.
Next, Li Linfei talked with Smith about many things related to the design of the future building, while Smith directly drew and changed in his hand-drawing book, first drawing some simple shapes for Li Linfei's eyes, plus a few people, talking and laughing in Li Linfei's office, without realising it, a few hours passed.
At noon, Li Linfei and Smith had just stepped out of the entrance of the building when they were mobbed by a few media reporters who often squatted at the entrance of the building: "Mr. Li, is that Adrian Smith, the designer of the Burj Dubai, next to you? Is Mr Lee planning to build a skyscraper?"
"Uh, he is indeed Adrian Smith, Future Technology Group does plan to build the world's tallest building, and is still in communication with Mr Smith."
Li Linfei felt that he had nothing to hide in building the world's tallest building, it was going to be open for bidding to builders around the world anyway, sooner or later it would be made public.
"Oh, how tall is Mr Li planning to build? How much is the investment? Where is it intended to be built?" In the group of reporters, a middle-aged reporter asked Shi Lin several questions in a row.
"The intention is to build two, I think, one 999 metres and the other 1688 metres. As for the investment capital, there is no limit either, the exact amount needs to be estimated after the design sketch is finished, and the location is in the future scenic spot." Li Linfei blandly returned and stopped answering, the security guard next to him saw Li Linfei gesture and went forward to block the reporters.
The journalists were shocked by the news and retreated with satisfaction.
Within a few minutes, those few media reported Li Linfei's shocking interview words.
......
The portals were the first to publish the headline and a few words of the text, followed by a sentence that was being followed up, but these few messages, like a big bomb dropped on a calm lake, immediately caused waves of turbulence, leading to exposure of netizens' concerns.
Half an hour later, the portals instantly updated the interview process and the content of Li Linfei's interview answers, so many netizens were clear about the whole process.
As a result, many netizens expressed their own opinions on various forums, and it didn't take long to explode the various forums.
"Li Linfei is a great builder, he built two skyscrapers in one go! We support you!"
"What a scary 1688m skyscraper! I'm waiting for it, I'll definitely check it out when it's done!"
"1,688 meters, it must be almost to the clouds."
"Another world first!"
......
Unlike before, there are more voices opposing and questioning Li Linfei on internet forums.
"What is the reason for repairing so high? Is it necessary? There's no place to spend the money!"
"Isn't it more dangerous to build it higher? What if there is a fire?" Sexy is not flirty: "Is building a tall building to show your superiority, or is it purely an image project?"
"Why not just build it to 1,000 metres if it's 999 metres?"
"Why does Li Linfei always pursue the word 'most'? You're so happy with your work!"
Not only did these worrying netizens express their opinions, those experts came forward with praise and criticism.
In the face of many netizens' queries, Guo Moumou, a top international property consultant and head of the Southwest Research Department, spelled out the "business opportunities": "A skyscraper with a variety of businesses such as hotels, shopping malls, offices and entertainment, it can form a gathering effect, and a skyscraper similar to the Burj Dubai, is a landmark building with high recognition and accessibility, which usually also means high recognition, which is why top clients like to lease Grade A office space."
Chapter 960
The establishment of skyscrapers by the Future Technology Group is also a great addition to the city of Xiangzhong, which is beneficial to the development of Xiangzhong."
If Guo is suspected of patting himself on the back to Li Linfei, then Jian Wan, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology's School of Architecture and Urban Planning, is mostly critical.
According to Wan Jian: "High-rise building fire rescue is a worldwide problem, the fire ladder is generally only 100 meters high, tall buildings over this height can not be rescued, unless the use of helicopters to fight fires."
"And how many urban fire brigades in China are equipped with helicopters nowadays? The possibility of escape from high floors is almost nil. But even if they are equipped with helicopters, will they be foolproof? And it is difficult to provide enough water for aerial firefighting and to deliver it accurately."
"Even helicopters would be helpless in the face of a skyscraper on fire, and the future technology of two skyscrapers of thousands of metres, or even 1,688 metres, would be a disaster of the century if a fire were to be discovered, and the lives of tens of thousands of people inside the building would be at risk!"
In response to the praise and criticism, there are also experts who stand neutral in expressing their opinions. According to Professor Long Feng, Dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongqi University, "Nowadays skyscrapers are no longer a technical issue, but a social one, and the two skyscrapers to be built by the Future Technology Group should be approached with more confidence and equanimity."
"It has pros and cons. Will the skyscrapers be a shocking disaster? Problems that are common or even non-issues in general construction become special problems in super-tall buildings, and I hope that the Future Technology Group should seriously consider safety issues when they do decide to build skyscrapers."
The employees of the Future Technology Group were in fact in high spirits, all of them tossing and turning, full of fantasy, passion and energy for the new office building.
In particular, they were so excited about the idea of sitting in a building hundreds of metres high and doing their own work that they actively expressed their views on the forum.
Those who have strong support for our boss's reply, basically the company's staff issued, then not the future of science and technology netizens also came together to point support, not half a day's time, net a forum on this comment has nearly 10,000 support.
Wu Yuting's dormitory roommate at Zhongnan University, also very shocked, came up to her fawning and smiling in flattery.
"Xiao-ting, your fiancé is so impressive, building two skyscrapers in one go, I actually feel more shocked than investing hundreds of billions into attractions."
"Yeah, your Li Linfei is so awesome and superb! Wow, thousands of meters of Prime Tower, I don't even know what height to describe Xiao-ting you will stand in the future, when we meet you in the future, I don't know if you will still recognise us as sisters or not?"
"Well, the wife of the richest man in the world must be surrounded by maids and bodyguards when she goes out, I'll go around when I see you."
Wu Yuting laughed bitterly, her housemates came up to her every two or three days to pay courtesy to her, she felt numb to it.
She was also shocked when she heard that Li Linfei was going to build a skyscraper; this time he was under even more criticism, and she wondered how he was doing now and whether he was taking the pressure from the outside world.
No matter what decision Li Linfei makes, she will silently support him in her heart.
......
Soon the matter dissipated, Smith was designing the drawings for the building, the drawings were not designed before the back fire would not come yet.
Soon to May 1, Wu Yuting and Li Xiaomin do not go back, Li Linfei, a long time did not go back it, so took his mother back to the city of Xiang with a trip.
When several cousins heard that Li Linfei had returned, they all came over to visit.
So that evening, when Li Linfei returned home, he had nothing to do but pull up a barbecue with his cousins outside the villa.
Li Linfei leaned back on a rattan chair, chatting and laughing with his cousin as he ate, occasionally taking a sip of some home-brewed fruit wine.
Li Linfei took a brush and lazily brushed the oil off the beef skewers and asked his cousin Li Fan aimlessly, "Brother, have you found a girlfriend lately?"
"Hey, no, I haven't yet, I haven't met the right one, but I've been watching the non-truths lately and it's quite interesting." Li Fan returned embarrassed, with a naive smile, then scratched his head and turned into a bitter smile.
"Brother, why don't you sign up too, I think Non Cheng is really good, hehe." Li Linfei laughed heatedly, but in his heart he was mostly joking.
"Lin Fei, are you kidding! I wouldn't dare to go on it, not to mention that those women can marry, I'd rather find a girl who wants to live an ordinary life."
Li Linfei was joking, but when he thought about it, if he really wanted to marry a girl with a strong sense of vanity, I guess it really wasn't suitable for his cousin either.
I remember your girlfriend broke up with you because she didn't like your lack of money, right, I remember Sun Yehwa went to film last week, right? "
Li Linfei remembered last week, Sun Yihua for the filming of non-cheng, deliberately ran from Xiang city to Xiangzhong city to find himself shooting video, at first thought it was just for fun.
"Seems to be aired this evening last issue, this kid on the non-committal looking for a daughter-in-law? I don't believe it even if I die, that brat, I guess, hey!"
Li Fan seemed to know something, shook his head with a bitter smile, Li Linfei also listened with some curiosity: "Oh, go back to the house and take a look, carry this grill back."
......
In Jianning City, in a suite, Xue Lian and her mother were watching TV.
A slightly fat woman wearing gold earrings, leaning on the sofa watching TV, squeezed her eyes and laughed: "Daughter, do you also want to be on Fei Cheng ah, watch this every day, I see the men on it is indeed good, all have successful careers, much better than your old college boyfriend, a rural man also want to marry my daughter, no house, no car, thinking too naive, yes The most important thing is that you have a good understanding of how to get married. I think you need to get married as soon as possible.
