We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#613 - First draft of the building

Su's Group Building, 8th floor, room 801. Su Cheng met Mr. Bei and his team, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Mr. Bei's team seemed quite large. There were more than thirty people just in the office alone. As for those who were out, it was unknown, and Su Cheng wouldn't ask about it.

This shows that designing a building is not easy!

"Mr. Su, you're here so quickly," Mr. Bei said in surprise.

Mr. Bei's assistants were also curiously sizing up Su Cheng, the world's richest man.

This was the first time they had seen Su Cheng in person. Although everyone knew that they were designing a building for Su Cheng this time, they had never been able to meet him in person until today.

Mr. Bei had only called Su Cheng a little over twenty minutes ago, and he didn't expect to see this big shot so soon.

"It just so happened that I was outside and had nothing to do, so I came directly," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I see," Mr. Bei said with a realization.

"Where are the designs? Let me take a look," Su Cheng said impatiently.

His purpose for coming here was to see the designs. Now that he was here, Su Cheng naturally didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Su, please follow me. The designs are in that office," Mr. Bei said, pointing to a small office to the side.

Su Cheng walked closer and saw that the top one was a design drawing that had already been rendered in color. It was a tall building, and the appearance of the building could be clearly seen from the picture.

And underneath, there were many more design drawings. These design drawings included the design of the external space and the design of the internal space. Judging from the drawings, it could be seen that the amount of design work was very large. No wonder it took them a whole month to come up with the first draft.

Moreover, in this era, there was no computer software to assist in the design like in Su Cheng's later life. In this era, it was basically all hand-drawn.

"The building we designed gradually decreases in size from the bottom up, with a total of 128 floors and a total height of 556.6 meters. At the very top of the building, there is a spire, and the height of the spire is 58.4 meters. That is to say, if you include the spire, the total height of the building is 605 meters. According to our budget, the construction cost of the building is about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this cost does not include the land price," Mr. Bei said as Su Cheng looked at the designs.

This spire is not like those antennas, it is a real building, it just can't be lived in.

That is to say, even if someone says in the future that the antenna should not be counted in the height, the total height of this building is still 605 meters high.

Su Cheng could be very sure that if this height was built, this building would be the tallest building in the world for a very long time in the future.

Overall, the appearance of the building was very much in line with Su Cheng's taste, and the appearance was very high. However, Su Cheng always felt that this building was a bit similar to the appearance of a certain building he had seen in his previous life, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

But it doesn't matter, Su Cheng has Xiao Ai.

As long as Xiao Ai identifies it, he can quickly find buildings with a higher degree of similarity.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, Xiao Ai screened out the building that Su Cheng had been unable to remember—the Shard London Bridge.

It can't be said that this building is completely like the Shard London Bridge. The similarity is about 60%. The shapes are somewhat similar. They are both wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the top spire gradually disappears into the air, like the mast of a tall sailing ship.

However, this building is more beautiful than the Shard London Bridge, and its height is almost twice as high. There is a world of difference between the two.

It's no wonder Su Cheng couldn't remember which building it was for a while.

Although the Shard London Bridge is famous in Europe, its popularity in China is relatively average, especially for those who have not been to London.

People who have been to London must know it, but Su Cheng has never been there.

Moreover, the height of the Shard London Bridge is only 309.6 meters, and its height was not even ranked in the world at that time.

Despite this, the appearance of the Shard London Bridge is still worthy of Su Cheng's recognition.

According to the information provided by Xiao Ai, the Shard London Bridge only started construction in 2008, and it was already 2012 when it was completed.

But now it is only 1979.

That is to say, even if the building designed by Mr. Bei is built, no one will say that it copied a certain building, because this is the original!

It can be seen from this that, in the absence of reference objects, Mr. Bei's team can design such a building with such a high appearance in this era, which is enough to show how strong Mr. Bei and his team are.

"Our concept is to use precise and complex glass curtain walls. This highly expressive building facade is composed of angled window glass, which reflects light and changes the changing patterns of the sky. This facade treatment allows the building form to change according to the weather and seasons in Hong Kong."

"This building will make up for the irregular shape of the base. Every inch of the skin is covered with glass flakes that are inclined from the outside to the inside and grow upwards in turn, and finally form a crystal clear glass pyramid. Finally, the glass panels at the top of the tower will not touch each other, forming an open space. The open top is to avoid isolating the interaction between the building and nature, so that the building can 'breathe freely'."

Mr. Bei continued to explain while Su Cheng carefully looked at the design drawings.

Su Cheng nodded, and he quite agreed with Mr. Bei's design concept.

"Mr. Bei, I have a concern. As you know, Hong Kong is a city with a lot of typhoons. Basically, it will be hit by typhoons every year. Can the buildings on the spires you designed withstand the devastation of a major typhoon?" Su Cheng pointed to the hollowed-out buildings on the spire and couldn't help but ask.

He had experienced many typhoons in Hong Kong.

Especially last year, a super typhoon directly hit Lantau Island, causing serious losses to Lantau Island.

And a few years ago, a major typhoon also hit the center of Hong Kong. Su Cheng also experienced it personally at that time. Many thick trees in the urban area of Hong Kong were uprooted by the typhoon, which shows how strong the wind of this major typhoon was!

It is already mid-May now, and the typhoon season is almost here.

Therefore, Su Cheng had this worry.

This is his money, tens of billions of funds in real terms, and he can't be careless.

Although Mr. Bei is an expert in this industry, Su Cheng is worried that he does not know enough about Hong Kong.

Otherwise, after the building is built, it will be troublesome if it is found that there are still many problems. (End of this chapter)
