I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 166 164. Shenmu Speed

Zhang Yimou had to wonder.

Because he felt Xu Xin was joking with him.

We are not Doha. The budget for hosting the Asian Games is more than that of the Olympic Games...that is outrageous! Those Middle Eastern tycoons...

The 2008 Olympics carried the expectations of too many people, but by the same token, these were all done with people's money. The country's requirement is not to only care about appearance but not content. When ensuring the excellent quality of a series of buildings such as the Olympic venues, the budget that can be allocated to the opening ceremony is really not much.

With all this money, Zhang Yimou himself had to be careful in his calculations.

The reason why we have been unable to decide whether to use LEDs or not is because the first budget has to be exceeded and added, and we don’t want to put any more pressure on the country. The second thing is... no one can really control the risks of this thing.

So... don't talk about whether you have any spare money to do it, even the budget for direct construction is exceeded... Do you still dare to build a test field?

Just kidding……

This is not something that can be done for just a few hundred yuan. In terms of square meters alone, it is more than a thousand square meters.

Although the conservative budget exceeds 20 million, there are only a few companies in the world that can produce this kind of LED screen.

Just do it as you say?

If it doesn't work, isn't the money wasted?

Zhang Yimou looked at Xu Xin as if he was caring for patients with mental illness.

"what are you saying?"

he asked:

"Regardless of who will bear the cost, where are you going to find a venue? This is a stadium-sized venue, and the stadium cannot be made smaller. At the same time, earth must be excavated and at least a steel structure must be dug out underneath. At the same time, it needs to have a drainage system to match it... Where can you find a site like this?"

It's okay that Zhang Yimou didn't ask about this. As soon as he asked about this, Xu Xin suddenly had an idea flash in his mind:

"How about letting it go to my house?"

"...????"

At this time, Zhang Yimou's eyes directly changed to "Do you want to go see a doctor?"

Put it in your home?

Your home is really big...

Bigger than a stadium?

Xu Xin naturally understood Director Zhang’s eyes and said quickly:

"I mean put it in the sacred tree... That's it, Director Zhang, my dad just came... There are 30 million in this card."

"..."

Zhang Yimou's mouth twitched.

"Although I didn't tell my dad about our plan, I have been quarreling with people recently. Occasionally I would mention it to my dad. My dad asked about it, and when he heard that it was going to be a big screen, Then someone in the team was hesitant and told me to get a test site first and try it out. Then I brought this card over, and what you just mentioned about the venue... We also have a gymnasium in Shenmu, which is built to compete with the gymnasium in Xi'an. But we don’t have much use for it. At most, it’s used for some county sports games or something, or to invite some celebrity to come here to hold a concert..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but ask:

"...holding a concert in your county?"

"Yes, many people have come here, including Naying, Sun Yue, Pang Long who sang "Two Butterflies", Hu Yanbin... We have quite a few celebrities who come here for free. People from the county town Just go and see it.”

"..."

Zhang Yimou's facial muscles began to twitch.

Fine……

Invite celebrities to perform in acupoints, and hold concerts in stadiums...

The people in your county are really good at playing.

Who knew Xu Xin’s more outrageous words would come later:

"They won't be allowed to come this year. If you decide, I will have the forklift from the mine go down in the afternoon and dig half a meter to the depth of the bird's nest. How about? Dig to the size of the scroll. It can be all done in one night. , give me a week, I will ask the steel structure companies in the mine to come up with design drawings, including drainage and so on. All rectifications will be completed within a month and the installation of the steel structure will begin. All construction can be completed in two months at most, and then we will Install the LED screens and start testing there. See what problems you will encounter and rectify them in time. If there are really many problems, then don’t use them. If you find that they are just minor problems, then let’s use them again and grasp them with both hands. , Be prepared with both hands, okay?"

"..."

It’s not like Zhang Yimou has never seen money.

It’s not like I don’t have tens of millions in hand.

But personal money and national money are actually two different things.

Moreover, as Xu Xin said, this project has a budget of 20 to 30 million, which is based on the LED screen alone after the Bird's Nest has reserved the opening and closing ceremonies in advance.

The steel structure below is not included.

If you include the excavators, forklifts, steel structures, drainage, waterproofing, and later maintenance, venue use, and even dismantling and restoration after use that Xu Xin mentioned...

The cost of this project is definitely quite high.

And it requires multi-party coordination, from plan to design to construction, and even some requirements on the site, which is really troublesome.

But now when it comes out of Xu Xin's mouth, why does it sound like... a joke?

but……

Just joking around, is Zhang Yimou excited?

It's definitely exciting.

Why haven't you considered this option before?

The Bird's Nest does not have a "test field".

Right next to the Bird's Nest, there are three test sites that will be used as parking lots later.

This is because the first budget is exceeded, and the second reason is that these things are difficult to coordinate. If you want to build a test field, you need to meet deadlines, report, etc., and you may not be able to make it in time.

It's a very complex factor.

But now...

"Can you coordinate well?"

Hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Xu Xin was stunned:

"Coordinate what?"

"Venues, construction units, etc..."

"Yes, the venue was built through a joint venture between my dad and his friends. It was built free of charge for the county. There are plenty of excavators and forklifts at the mine. If you want Hercules, I can get you twenty or thirty of them, especially the steel structure. Forget it, the steel structure company in Xuzhou is directly responsible for all the steel structures under and above our mines. If we want a plan, they will work overtime to come up with it for us. What’s so difficult about this...

As long as you go home, I can bring you a construction team of no less than two thousand people anytime and anywhere. What can't we handle? Besides...if it can help the Olympics, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the folks in my hometown to win glory for the country? I'll ask my dad to talk to them, and everyone will definitely cooperate. "

When he said this, Xu Xin's face was full of confidence.

Unambiguous confidence.

Indeed, it is too easy to do something on the one-third of an acre at home...

It is much simpler than the procedures at Yanjing.

"And you don't have to worry about safety. The safety level is the same as in the mine. You can't go wrong!"

"...What about transportation? Your place...should be very biased, right?"

Although they are both from Shaanxi, Zhang Yimou really doesn't have a deep impression of northern Shaanxi.

Even though he went there to film movies when he was young, since he became famous, he has actually gone there very few times.

"Our place is next to EEDS, just over 100 kilometers away. When you get off the plane, you can reach the expressway."

"..."

Xu Xin's words were like an extremely charming fox, which suddenly aroused Zhang Yimou's anger.

This issue……

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous at first.

Can……

Following the communication with Xu Xin, Zhang Yimou seemed...

Suddenly found...

This issue……

It can be done!

Thinking of this...

"Go and call for a meeting."

"Okay, then you can take this card. The password is 123456... If we pass it, you have to report it to the organizing committee, right?"

"You take it first, and we'll talk about it later. Let's have a meeting first."

"Okay."

Just do it.

Xu Xin strode out quickly.

Soon, the large conference room was filled with people.

The legion commanders who shouted for loyalty spontaneously sat together with Xu Xin to fight against the demons from the abyss.

Just when everyone was moistening their throats and preparing to start quarreling again, Zhang Yimou suddenly spoke:

"Just now, I had a chat with Xiao Xu. I think, regarding the LED issue, can we build a simulation venue first?"

The moment he heard this, Tian Heping, the director of the opening and closing ceremony directing team appointed by the organizing committee, looked at Zhang Yimou as if he was mentally ill...

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as when Zhang Yimou looked at Xu Xin before.

When others heard this, they were also confused.

Haven't we talked about it before?

There is no budget, no construction period, and no venue that meets the requirements.

Why is this brought up again?

"Xiao Xu, what bad idea have you come up with again?"

Zhang Wu took the lead in attacking!

Chaos Demon, attack!

Then when several legion commanders heard this, they subconsciously launched a charge...

As a result, Zhang Yimou waved his hand:

"This is not a bad idea, but it is feasible...this is..."

He recounted exactly what he had just discussed with Xu Xin.

Then……

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Xin.

Yes, everyone knows that Xiao Xu’s family is rich.

The people in this room still have cordyceps given to them by their father in their thermos cups.

The bird's nest is also stewed, and the sea cucumber is fried. The meat is firm, elastic and fragrant...

Although I usually have nothing to talk about, I also think that this kid’s father spent at least seven figures on this set of gifts...

How rich is it?

But when I heard that Xiao Xu went downstairs and came up with a bank card worth 30 million in five minutes... I was still a little confused.

Tian Heping simply asked:

"Xiao Xu, the cost of this project...isn't worth 30 million yuan..."

"I know, Minister Tian. As for the cost of the site and steel structure, we don't need to include that. All we have to do here is nod and prepare a fax of the ground construction drawings of the Bird's Nest, and I will have the excavator enter the factory in the afternoon. Within a month and a half , the steel structure is absolutely finished, we have to work overtime 24 hours a day, three shifts, absolutely can’t go wrong! Now we just need to contact the LED screen manufacturer to produce it in time. I will be responsible for the rest."

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the silence of everyone, Zhang Wu frowned:

"Xiao Xu, this is a lot of money..."

"Don't worry, Director Zhang. Our Shenmu people are very aware of contributing to the country. My second grandfather is a veteran. When we were worshiping our ancestors during the Chinese New Year this year, he specifically told me that if we have any difficulties, we should tell our family... His old man But he supports me."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Zhang Wu was speechless now.

At this time, Zhang Yimou said:

"I just talked with Xiao Xu. In terms of transportation, site and construction conditions, there should be no problems in Shenmu County. However, we still need to communicate with Xiao Xu. Let's discuss the feasibility of this plan first. First of all, The construction period, then the plan formulation, and then how to complete the bidding in the shortest time, and... Lao Tian, ​​you may have to go to the organizing committee soon..."

Tian Heping nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, if this matter is confirmed, there will be no time wasted.

…

"Hey, Dad."

"oh?"

"Let me tell you something."

"Oh, tell me, what's wrong?"

"That's right..."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Daqiang, who was holding a cigarette, narrowed his eyes and listened quietly to his son's words.

moment……

"We need a gymnasium and a steel structure. We need to build it at our place. The construction schedule is still very tight, right?"

"Yes, Minister Tian has already gone to report. As long as he agrees, then construction can start. Is the problem big?"

"What a mess."

Xu Daqiang almost didn’t hesitate and said directly while holding a cigarette in his mouth:

"Anyway, the stadium is usually not used by anyone, so just dig it out."

"The cooperation from the county..."

"Your biggest contribution this time is to fight for such an opportunity for the county. Do you understand? The Olympic Games is such a big event, it is an honor. It is a great thing to be in our county. This is an achievement, understand. Wow?...Hahaha, okay, don't worry about this, let's talk about it. As soon as you have news over there, just call me, and let the excavator drive in first and wait, and start the work after getting the drawings. !Do not worry."

He is his biological father after all.

Reliable...

Xu Xin sighed with emotion after hanging up the phone.

Then……

At less than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which was technically lunch break, Tian Heping called.

The meaning of leadership is simple.

This kind of good behavior of people with lofty ideals voluntarily sharing the pressure for the country must be fully supported. It will be reported as quickly as possible in the afternoon, and it should be passed without any problems.

But there is just one requirement.

People's normal lives must not be affected by the Olympics.

As soon as these words came out, it was basically a done deal.

then……

Xu Xin, Fan Yue, Jiang Haoyang, Ma Wen, and six technical and construction technicians and project managers directly sent from Yanjing Urban Construction Group, the contractor of the Bird's Nest, boarded the plane to EEDS at around 3 p.m.

Xu Xin didn't even meet Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao.

Dad and eldest brother were in Yanjing, but he went home.

When getting off the plane in Dongsheng, Fan Yue, the director of the "LED Experimental Base Project" temporarily established by the director team, wrapped himself tightly in his down jacket.

"Oh, it's really cold."

The atmosphere of spring in Yanjing in late March is already apparent, but for the Inner Mongolia Plateau and Loess Plateau, the temperature is still quite low.

Xu Xin didn't answer, but took out the phone.

"Hey, Third Uncle, let's get off the plane...ah, okay, okay."

The phone was hung up and everyone got directly into the airport transport vehicle.

The people waiting to pick up Xu Xin were already outside the airport.

When we got here, Xu Xin naturally took over everything. Since everyone was leaving in a hurry, they didn't actually bring any luggage. They all took a briefcase and some office supplies.

Their scheduled plan is to stay here for two to three days, inspect the site, and report the situation. Then the urban construction side will send more people over to work with the steel structure and earthwork. The designers there have already obtained the drawings of the Shenmu Stadium and have begun to design the drainage.

So I didn't take my luggage, I just took a briefcase and walked directly out of the sparsely populated and small Dongsheng Airport.

And just came out...

Whether Fan Yue or Ma Wen, everyone's eyes fell on the row of motorcades...

The pure Rolls-Royce...

They all have Shaanxi K license plates...

Good guy, the people here are so rich... but why are they not as well-known as the coal bosses in Shanxi?

Fan Yue was just thinking about it when he heard a voice:

"Third uncle!"

Xu Xin waved to a fat middle-aged man wearing a down jacket standing next to a black Rolls-Royce.

"Oh... this, this, this... Sanjin, hurry, hurry, hurry, the leaders are here, open the door."

When the middle-aged man said this, the drivers next to him hurried to their respective cars one by one and opened the doors.

Not to mention everyone else... Fan Yue was also confused by this posture.

Why does it feel like coming to pick up a big brother from society?

Xu Xin, who had jogged a few steps, had already walked up to the middle-aged man and introduced him:

"Third uncle, this is Director Fan Yue, the person in charge of our project this time. Director Fan, this is my third uncle, Xu Dahai."

"Ah ah ah, the director is good, the director is good!"

People of Xu Daqiang's generation are basically the "big" generation, and he is the fourth in the village.

Xu Dahaixingsan.

When talking about Xu Daqiang and Xu Dahai, their cultural level is actually not very high, so their words are full of respect and courtesy for scholars.

What's more... this is Sanjin's leader.

You have to be polite.

But he was physically big, and Fan Yue was as thin as a bamboo pole.

He was grabbing and shaking hands, and half of his body was dangling there.

Fortunately, Xu Dahai didn't wait for Fan Yue to give up, and invited him:

"Director Fan, everyone, get in the car, get in first..."

Xu Xin also said:

"Director Fan, let's talk in the car. Let's go to home first to check on the situation."

"Uh... ok, let's go."

Shaken by the enthusiasm of the people in northern Shaanxi, Fan Yue responded. After Xu Xin greeted the others to get in the car, he chose to share a car with Fan Yue and Xu Dahai.

The convoy started to drive directly out.

The first thing Xu Xin said when he got on the bus was:

"Uncle San, has the excavator entered the venue?"

"We've finished digging."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, Fan Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but said:

"Did you finish digging?"

"Ang! The length is 147 meters, the width is 31 meters, and the depth is half a meter. At first, I thought that the entire site would be sunk by half a meter, so I sent 50 excavators to work together... but it turned out that it was more than 100 meters, and 30 excavators were raised. No. The digging was completed in a while. We got 20 forklifts and 30 muck trucks, and now the soil should be almost cleared."

Xu Dahai didn't seem to think anything was wrong. He looked back at Xu Xin from the passenger seat:

"You want cement? What's the grade? I pulled 150 tons of 62 cement. Is that enough?"

Cement is divided into eight strength levels according to national standards.

The minimum standard, which is used for ordinary civil housing construction, is the strength level of 32.5 or 32.5R. Then by analogy, the highest ones are 62.5 and 62.5R high-grade strength cement.

The so-called 62 cement refers to these two labels.

Does Fan Yue understand?

Understand.

Therefore, when I heard that this... boss Xu Dahai directly pulled 150 tons of cement with the highest grade, I couldn't help but say:

"Already pulled?"

"Oh, we're here, just outside the stadium. Is it enough? Not enough. Let's transport it again. If it doesn't work, stop the progress of the mine and focus on the country first. Need steel bars? How many drops? How many tons? Send it directly."

"..."

Fan Yue was completely speechless.

Xu Xin saw that Fan Yue's expression was a little strange, so he quickly explained:

"Director Fan, my third uncle specializes in civil construction. The civil construction work on and off the mine is done by third uncle. It's okay. If we encounter any construction-related issues this time, it's definitely right to contact my third uncle."

"..."

Under Fan Yue's speechless gaze, Xu Dahai, who was sitting in the co-pilot, felt a little embarrassed:

"Ah, I'm not that powerful... I just... I've been doing it for a few more years. Ah, this... hahahaha~"

Fan Yue didn't know what to say.

I could only take out my phone and dial Zhang Yimou’s number:

"Old Zhang."

"Lao Fan, are you here? How are you? Are there any questions?"

Zhang Yimou is still worried.

After all, the decision has been made here, and we just need to wait for the approval of the report.

In the morning, my blood was boiling. Listening to Xu Xin's words, I felt that this plan was like a divine weapon descended from heaven.

But now that I have calmed down and thought about it carefully, I suddenly feel that it is very difficult.

Negotiations with relevant local departments in the county, deployment of construction teams, whether there are enough manpower, and whether there are enough construction machinery... are all a bunch of problems.

As soon as Fan Yue called, he was a little worried.

As soon as I finished asking, I heard Fan Yue say:

"The digging has been completed..."

"……what?"

Zhang Yimou was stunned.

Everyone else in the conference room also wanted to know what Director Zhang said to Fan Yue over there.

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou simply turned on the speakerphone and asked again:

"What did you just say?"

"I said... we have finished digging... We just got off the plane, and now Xiao Xu's third uncle came to pick us up. Xiao Xu's third uncle, Boss Xu..."

"Ah, I'm not the boss, I'm just a jobber..."

Xu Dahai was still modest, so he heard Fan Yue say:

"According to the drawings, the pit that is 147 meters long, 31 meters wide, and half a meter deep... has been dug... and even the muck has been removed..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Inside the Olympic Building.

Following the movement on the phone, everyone in the room was stunned.

no……

What kind of magical efficiency are you?

Digging...finished?

I just made the call in the morning and finished digging in the afternoon?

Finished digging? ? ? ? ?

"Well……"

After Zhang Yimou was stunned for a while, he nodded:

"Okay, then... I understand. You and the urban construction technicians will go check out the site, contact the local departments, and then see how the preliminary work is prepared. We have already started preparing for the bidding to select the manufacturer."

"Well, okay. I'll take some photos and send them to you later."

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lanfang couldn't help but say:

"What kind of divine speed is this..."

Everyone was speechless.

yes.

What kind of magical speed is this...

…

Soon, the convoy passed the Shenmu County toll station.

This is Fan Yue's first visit to Shenmu.

Looking out of the car window... to be honest, he couldn't see anything special about this city.

Although it can be seen from this group of Rolls-Royces that they seem to be very wide.

But as far as architecture is concerned...

It's quite ordinary.

To say it's unremarkable is an understatement.

There are also high-rise buildings, but they are only the size of a county town.

Just as I was wondering, soon there was a traffic jam ahead.

As the lead car, after the vehicle stopped, he heard Xu Xin say:

"Is it over there at the Caragana Tower again?"

"Oh, it should be..."

After Xu Dahai responded, he felt a little annoyed:

"Ah, these coal trucks really are parked according to the rules!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number:

"Oh, Xiaowei. Go, step forward and ask those coal trucks to behave themselves! Get out of the way, they are all blocked here, let us pass by! Go, go, hurry up! Drive them all away!"

"..."

Before Fan Yue had time to realize Xu Dahai's domineering attitude, the Cruiser and the 570 in the convoy behind him drove directly in the opposite direction and drove forward.

Xu Dahai also accompanied him carefully:

"Director Fan, are you in such a hurry? Wait a minute, it will be connected right away."

"Well……"

Fan Yue didn't know what to say, so he just took the cigarette that Xu Dahai handed over politely.

Look down.

It’s not something like China, it’s just “EEDS”.

Yellow Crane Tower-EEDS.

Two hundred and forty-one pack.

After smoking half a cigarette, the car began to move slowly.

Soon, Fan Yue saw the reason for the traffic jam.

It turned out that there was a T-junction ahead, full of large cars parked.

The cart has to turn left, leading to a mountainous, somewhat rugged and damaged asphalt road.

The road around the corner was pitch black, as if it were filled with soot from the passing of large vehicles over the years.

At this moment, one of the two off-road vehicles blocked the left turn, and the other blocked the row of large vehicles on the right side of the road, making way for the road in the middle.

At this time, a big car seemed to want to join the queue.

As a result, as soon as the front of the car came out, the two young men pointed at the car and ran over, cursing.

"..."

He felt that he seemed to understand the way people here dealt with things.

Then, after the motorcade passed this crossroad, Xu Dahai took the phone and dialed:

"Is it all over? You two go straight ahead and see if there are any more traffic jams. Clear them all so that they don't get blocked."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two off-road vehicles overtook the leading vehicle and drove wildly forward.

It’s true that we open roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when meeting waters.

Soon we arrived in the urban area of ​​Shenmu County.

When we were about to turn onto a very wide main road along the river, Xu Dahai suddenly felt happy:

"Ha, Sanjin, take a look and say that Ni is back. They are all here."

Fan Yue followed Xu Dahai's voice and looked over, and saw a row of sports cars of various colors standing on the right side of the old and wide road.

Ferrari, Porsche, all kinds of things.

Just stop on the side of the road with double flashes.

There were a bunch of young people standing next to the car.

Looking this way.

"Say hello?"

Hearing Xu Dahai's words, Xu Xin shook his head:

"Don't slow down, just go to the gymnasium and just shout."

"Okay, let's go and do business first."

As a result, the black Rolls-Royce did not slow down at all, but the windows were lowered.

When passing by these people, Fan Yue heard Xu Xin shout:

"Gym Wow!"

The car drove directly past.

Fan Yue turned around subconsciously, and a group of young people opened the doors of the sports cars like chasing rabbits...

At this time, he looked at the ordinary-looking residential buildings and nodded unconsciously.

This county...

Something.

…

Director Zhang hasn't arrived yet, so Wang Xiaowang from Shenmu County has not been dispatched for the time being.

However, some heads of various departments came to the stadium and waited for Fan Yue. Fan Yue watched the forklifts and excavators parked neatly outside.

The car drove directly into the stadium and stopped on the rubber track.

Fan Yue got out of the car and saw a pit of more than 100 meters...

Xu Dahai didn't lie.

When you say you’re done digging, you’ll finish digging.

It really complied with that statement.

As long as the money is in place, all the glass will be broken...

At the same time, with the roar of an engine, he turned around and saw...a group of children about the same age as Xu Xin got out of the sports car.

But Xu Xin waved his hand, telling them not to come over yet.

Continue to follow Fan Yue and Ma Wen who are also dumbfounded behind them, waiting for the technician to start taking the drawings and school team measurements...

Fan Yue took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it directly to Zhang Yimou's mobile phone.

the other side.

In the Olympic Building.

Everyone looked through the photos on Zhang Yimou’s phone one by one...

I don't even know what to say.

Okay... okay.

Awesome.

Apart from this word, they really can't think of anything else to describe their mood at this moment.

At most, Sha Xiaofeng added one more word in his mind:

"Fuck, awesome."

Please give me a monthly ticket, brothers. It’s not that I don’t add updates. First of all, I am a dual-book reader. Secondly, at first it only hurt my fingers, but now my entire palm, including my fingers and shoulders, hurts. It’s very uncomfortable. Normal updates are already at their limit. After all, I’m not young anymore…
