"Everyone, be quiet, please be quiet. I know everyone is excited, but please hear us out!"

As Lan Fangta's true face was completely revealed to the hundreds of thousands of onlookers at the scene, and also appeared in front of the cameras of various media who came to follow the shooting, the atmosphere at the scene was in danger of getting out of control, but fortunately,

Kun quickly used his personal prestige to calm him down.

After Gu Kun shouted three or four times, his voice gradually cooled down, and then he announced very politely: "I hereby officially announce that Lanfang Tower will officially be put into commercial use today. I would like to dedicate this to my love.

My wife Youran’s enthronement gift. Now, I would like to invite Miss Qin Ya, the chief designer of this project, to introduce the project itself.”

As he spoke, Gu Kun waved to the audience, extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and led Qin Ya, who had been in seclusion for several years, to the speaker's seat.

It’s not easy for Qin Ya either. She has been the chief designer since 1999. For this project, plus the previous Lanfang Sailing Hotel project, she has been in seclusion for a total of six years. She has been under social surveillance since she was 29 years old, and she was released from seclusion at the age of 35.

There was no way, who asked Gu Kun to tell her to do a big project that was unparalleled in the world and strive to be the best in the world.

To seize the spectacle, you have to use all possible means.

After the scene became a little quiet, the designer began to introduce it. From her mouth, everyone officially learned for the first time that the final completed height of the Lanfang Tower actually reached 1,006 meters!

You must know that in 2002, only more than 600 meters were publicized through the grapevine. Even if the Diba people spied on it through the new second-level intelligence dealers in Wanwan Ding, they believed that "if the basic structure remains unchanged, even if the follow-up

Modify the design and increase the height, and the limit will not exceed 700 meters."

This is also the main reason why the Diba people did not further increase the budget and reserve room for improvement.

When the construction was completed in 2003, the actual height was obviously over 700 meters, but fortunately the clouds and fog made it difficult to see clearly unless taking aerial photography, and the Diba people could no longer change the design, so there was no point in further probing - Diba

The only thing the Ba people can do is to maximize the potential of their existing designs.

I heard that Diba Tower finally came up with a plan that could be raised to more than 800 meters under a relatively simple basic design, just to fight to the death - and according to the original history, although Diba Tower was completed,

It is only about 820 meters, but it can actually tap into its potential. In theory, it can be increased to the 1,000-meter mark.

Obviously, this life was because Gu Kun had repeatedly slapped him in the face and shattered the prestige of his counterparts in the Middle East during the battle to seize the world's No. 1 rich city, causing them to lose money on all the small projects that proved their business model in the early stage.

Or at least, they did not make as much money as they did during the same period in history, so investors lost confidence and forced investment scale, which led to the shrinkage of these designs.

Therefore, even if the Diba people of this generation tried their best, they could not break through the 800-meter mark. Their efforts to catch up and adjust since 2004 were destined to be a farce.

They could only pray that Gu Kun would not reach more than 800 meters. As soon as Gu Kun exceeded it, they would stop working.

Now, the result sheet is finally out.

Qin Ya's design is closer to the more promising design of Diba people in the previous life, and in one step, it directly broke through the 1000-meter mark! It reached 1006 meters!

This kind of design also causes a serious waste of space. For example, among the three ridge structures originally distributed in a humanoid shape, one of them, which is more than 600 meters long, has been completely converted into supporting space for engineering purposes and can no longer be used as a commercial area.

When building the top 400 meters, the required tower cranes and other engineering equipment are directly erected on the roof of this engineering building among the three ridge buildings.

Moreover, fully enclosed through-core steel tube load-bearing columns need to be added below the part where the tower crane is installed. This results in a series of waste in the 600-meter space at the foot of the built-in tower crane. Basically, a considerable amount of waste is consumed on each floor.

In the space of a circle of elevator shafts.

There is not much to say about the technical details of these architectural design professions. A simple conclusion is that it is equivalent to one of the three ridge buildings. One-third of the effective building area must be wasted in order for the entire project to be constructed to one thousand meters.

.

In addition, hundreds of millions of dollars in additional construction budget will be spent, but these are minor matters.

After comprehensive calculation, in order to push the building from 700 to 800 meters to 1,000 meters, the additional wasted internal space of the entire building accounts for one-eighth of the effective area of ​​the entire building.

In other words, if the building is built to a height of 1,000 meters, the final practical area will be no more than if it is only built 800 meters high. From the perspective of commercial rent collection, all the subsequent investment is just throwing money into a puddle.

.

But what Gu Kun wanted was not to repay the rent through the building itself. What he wanted was to grab the spectacle. If it wasn't cost-effective, it wouldn't be cost-effective.

This is also doomed. As long as there are no other people in the world who build buildings with the mentality of competing for spectacles, they will definitely not choose Gu Kun's model of building buildings at a loss. The deterrence of his "humanity's first thousand-meter-tall building"

The power is enough to kill other latecomers who want to seize this track.

…

“… Finally, let’s take a look at the completion figures for this building. The total cost of structural civil completion was $3 billion! The total cost of equipment installation and interior decoration was $2 billion! The total project expenditure was $5 billion.

!”

After introducing a series of technical parameters and design concepts, it was Qin Ya's last few words that made the audience want to eat more.

After all, I can’t understand the technical details, but I definitely understand the money.

When they heard this number, everyone was as surprised and booed as they were when they first heard that the building was 1,006 meters high.

Of course, the so-called US$5 billion is definitely fake. This also inherits the fine tradition of financial bragging among Lanfang people.

Just like when the Lanfang Oilfield reached its limit, it only had 3 billion barrels of oil, but the external publicity had to boast that it would start at 5 billion barrels, and even suggested that the picture would be increased to tens of billions of barrels with various modifications.

The same is true for this Lanfang Tower. If the original logs were built according to the historical plan of the Diba people, the total structural and civil construction cost would only be between 1.5 and 1.7 billion US dollars. But because the Lanfang people used a backup strengthening plan,

When it reaches one thousand meters, the additional cost is of course very huge. The cost of building it up to 820 meters and then up to 180 meters is far more expensive than the previous two or three hundred meters.

Fortunately, China's construction power is more frugal than foreigners, and the infrastructure maniacs offer discounts. In the end, the actual calculation showed that this building cost a total of US$2.3 billion in civil structure costs.

In terms of equipment installation and decoration, the people of Diba have spent about a billion dollars in history. This area is similar to that of Diba in history.

In the end, it was actually 2.3 billion plus 1.2 billion, and the total final account was 3.5 billion US dollars. The external bragging was that 3 billion plus 2 billion equals 5 billion, which is a slight injection of 50% water.

But this watered-down figure will undoubtedly be reported by media from various countries as soon as possible.

Who told Gu Kun to brag that he was not afraid of paying taxes? If he said 5 billion, let the construction unit pay taxes based on the 5 billion income. Anyway, Lanfang’s taxes belong to their family, and it’s just the left hand and the right hand. You can brag as much as you want, brag.

If you return it after you are done, the person involved will not suffer any loss.

…

After Qin Ya's introduction, Gu Kun announced the end of the unveiling ceremony, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the square dispersed.

However, the thousands of distinguished guests and media friends specially invited from abroad can also enjoy an extra treat.

That is, you will be sent to the revolving sightseeing hall located at an altitude of 840 meters to enjoy the privilege of overlooking the landscape of Lanfang Island. You will also enjoy a luxurious cocktail party-style buffet in the matching glass restaurant upstairs.

Gu Kun himself is so busy, of course, he will not entertain those humble guests in person. Those who can be personally accompanied by him must at least be the bosses of mainland Internet emerging listed companies such as Ma Feng, Ding Sanshi, and Bao, or the luxurious people from European, French, Italian and other countries.

The bosses of giant luxury goods groups, or those Middle Eastern oil tycoons, or the bosses of French and Japanese tourism groups.

"Please don't be polite, water, wine and vegetables are not respectful." Gu Kun held the absinthe and made a toast.

As expected, the guests didn't care much about food and drink. After all, they had been to Lanfang so many times and Gu Kun had invited more high-end banquets many times. When the Burj Al Arab Hotel opened, it was said that he never tires of food and fine food.

Today’s theme is just sightseeing.

"It's eight hundred and forty meters high. I have never seen the sea view from such a high place, not counting flying. And the clouds are handled so well. There is not a single cloud in a circle for several kilometers. I think from a distance

I can't even see it anymore, the rain clouds have pushed out."

"It's such a big deal, it's really refreshing. If you stand here for a while, you'll feel a lot more comfortable. In this lean era, there are still so many wealthy people that men fantasize about, and it's quite good to think about it.

If it weren't for Gu Kun, there wouldn't be anyone in the world who would do such an economically uneconomical business just for the sake of poverty."

Several European and American luxury goods giants also had to admit with emotion while watching the scene.

There is an illusion that the entire world's aesthetics has returned to the time when artists governed the country during the Great Depression of the last century.

After Gu Kun accompanied the guests for a while, one of his subordinates suddenly came over and reported an unexpected incident to him.

Gu Kun took a closer look and saw that it was Tang Jia who was in charge of external relations.

"What's wrong? At this time, can't you wait until the reception is over before reporting?"

Tang Jia: "It's because it has something to do with our project - Iprasim is dead. Mr. Mahathir wants to make peace with us on behalf of the people of Abu Dhabi."

Gu Kun was not very surprised: "Dead? It seems to have something to do with us. He lost money and didn't want to do it anymore."

As we all know, if you build the tallest building in the world, you will definitely lose money on the building itself, and it will be a huge loss. If you spend 2 billion to build a building, you may not get back half of it by selling or renting the house. There is no way to take advantage of it and buy it at the cost price. So.

As long as we don't get the first place in the world, we are destined to suffer an absolute net loss of more than 1 billion US dollars the moment the building is completed.

Tang Jia nodded: "After officially hearing that the fight for the world's number one failed, I jumped from the Diaba Tower. As you said, this kind of thing is too big a bet. Either you are number one or you die. But even if

After he dies, Mahathir will no longer want to cooperate with other representatives of the Diba people."

"Yes, as long as he no longer supports other competitors who want to be the world's No. 1 wealthy city, I can carve out some luxury projects and let him become a shareholder, but the money must be dealt with in a business-like manner."
Chapter completed!
