Chapter 1072 Who
Zhang Ke is not very interested in building super-high buildings. Besides, the over-limit review will be conducted when reviewing the design plan of a 200-meter-high ultra-high building. The review cycle is long and the design cycle is also long. It is relatively smooth to break ground within two years. Even if Luo Jun, Wang Weijun and others are anxious, the period for the planning review and design of the drawing cannot be less than one year. Adding a construction cycle of one or two years, it will be almost three years later to truly complete and put into use. It will not have much effect on alleviating the tension in office land in Jianye at the time of Jinhu.
On the other hand, the construction cycle is long, and the investment of 1.2 billion is spread to three years or longer than the construction cycle. Compared with the capital flow at this time, there is no question of much financial pressure, especially the funds occupied by the preliminary design review and the more than a year or even longer period of drawings are quite limited.
Considering the long-term industrial layout of Kumho, it is necessary to set up the headquarters and core institutions for decision-making in Jianye. Having such a headquarters building with full facades is also in line with the wishes of the senior executives of Kumho.
Zhang Ke also knew that Luo Jun, Wang Weijun and other officials were really concerned about not how high the building was built, but how much influence the building could have and how much impact it would have on the rapid construction of the Hudong area into Jianye's new commercial and financial center.
However, domestic people have relatively limited aesthetic views on architecture. They seem to think that the tallest building is the most beautiful building and can be regarded as a landmark building. Only the skyscrapers that shoulder to shoulder represent the demeanor of a modern city. It is in this context of understanding that the city and the Hi-Tech Zone both hope that Kumho can invest in building a truly skyscraper in the Hudong area.
Zhang Ke did not agree with this architectural aesthetic, but he would not go over to persuade the city and the Hi-tech Zone to change their concepts. Anyway, Luo Jun and Wang Weijun and others are really concerned about influence. A building, Jinhu spent 60 million yuan to lure top design firms at home and abroad to bid, which is enough to form a greater influence than actually building a 250 and 60-meter skyscraper, which can also give more choices in the design plan.
Zhang Ke opened his mouth and said the design fee of 60 million yuan. Everyone else was very surprised, but Wang Weijun smiled. The task assigned to him by the municipal party secretary Luo Jun was overcomplete, and he laughed and scolded Zhang Ke for crying poorly before. He and Yao Wensheng had something to do at night and could not have dinner together at night, so they left first.
Wang Weijun and Yao Wensheng left, and Zhang Ke took them to the elevator entrance.
Seeing the elevator on the top of the elevator door showing the elevator going down, Zhang Ke shook his head helplessly and said to Shao Zhigang: "Building a 250-60-meter-high building may be unprecedented in Jianye, but it is not considered a big deal in the country or Asia, and it cannot be said to have any influence. However, except for the super skyscrapers that are competing for the world or region's highest height, there are no other classic works in the history of architecture..."
"You are a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, and a person who is separated from low-level interests?" Ye Xiaotong recited "Memorial of Bethune" to tease Zhang Ke, and said, "But just thinking about how tall the building is built is meaningless."
"Shao Xinwen should come to pick you up. You should get off work soon. You are a pregnant woman. I won't fight with the pregnant woman..." Zhang Ke grinned and asked Ye Xiaotong to go back to the office with a big belly. Seeing He Xian, who was intern here, walked out of the office and saw that she was preparing to get off work, Zhang Ke asked her to have dinner together tonight.
He Xian knew that Meng Le and Xi Ruolin were going back to the United States and everyone was going to have a meal together, so she went to pull Chen Feirong out again.
Zhang Ke had to hurry up and say a few more words to Shao Zhigang. He couldn't let him understand his meaning in a different way. He said: "Shanghai Pudong Jinmao Building is known as the tallest building in China. It has just been built with an investment of 5 billion yuan. It is impossible for us to build a taller building in Jianye than Jinmao Building. There is no meaning in fighting for this tone - it will hurt your bones if you fight... When I was considering how this building should be built, we should consider our words and actions to be consistent..."
"It's a bit confusing," Shao Zhigang asked with a smile, "The city, the high-tech zone needs to deal with it. I can understand that when actually designing, we still have to have our own opinions. This is somewhat erratic. I don't know how to be consistent in words and deeds, or do I think you are wrong?"
Du Fei smiled without conscience, waiting for Zhang Ke to explain; He Xian and Chen Feirong smiled while pursing her lips.
Qin Gang and Shi Xuebin saw the dominant position of Zhang Ke in the entire decision-making process. This was the first time they saw Zhang Ke dealing with Jinhu's affairs with their own eyes. Their questions were somewhat answered. It was precisely because of this that they were even more surprised, and there was nothing to say at this time.
"I'm not talking about this," Zhang Ke and Shao Zhigang explained, "What is Luo Jun and Wang Weijun thinking? How can I not understand? As long as they meet their wishes, they will not care about how we make trouble. I mean, when I was considering how this building was built, I also considered Aida's product development and design concepts, and found that the two had something in common: blindly emphasizing the advantages of product technology, this advantage will be easily surpassed by later generations. Only classic designs can only be imitated and referenced; for architecture, blindly emphasizing the height of the building is too boring..."
"..." Shao Zhigang held his chin with his hand. He did not stand at this level to consider these issues. Zhang Ke wanted to penetrate some ideological things into the bones of Jinhu's corporate culture.
"...I have no idea whether it is the tallest building. Whether it can become a landmark building in Hudong, even Jianye, East China, and even East China is still in terms of design. When inviting domestic and foreign designers' councils to bid, there should be no strict restrictions on the construction area, building height and even the area of the area, even the budget has room for negotiation - at least to this extent, after the building is completed, we must be able to intuitively get a similar feeling to the product development concept of "simplicity, fashion, and life" from this building..." Zhang Ke said.
"Uh," Shao Zhigang nodded and said with a smile, "It's true that you were really fooling Wang Weijun just now, saying that you are square and how to save money, how to design it - according to your idea, a budget of 1.2 billion, I think it's really mysterious. How to spend money on it, how to do it."
"As the headquarters building, there is always a lot of spiritual significance for the employees inside Kumho, which is more luxurious, and always has some significance," Zhang Ke said with a smile, "I have said so much, don't create an i19 design plan for me. In that case, what I just said will be in vain to you."
Zhang Ke opened his mouth and the news that the Hudong area will be invested by Ida Group to build the tallest building in the East China Sea will be circulated in the form of insider or rumored news from the city.
The Jianye Hotel built in 1984 is the first truly skyscraper in China. It has 35 floors and 118 meters high, making Jianye people proud of it for more than ten years.
As a result, the rise of first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen has seen more and more skyscrapers rising in the mainland. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, compared with other central cities, the development of Jianye was relatively lagging behind. Jianye Hotel abdicated from "the tallest building in the mainland" to "the tallest building in East China", and then to "the tallest building in the East China Province". In the 1994 and 1995, Huishan successively built several skyscrapers of more than 150 meters, and Jianye Hotel abdicated from the position of "the tallest building in Jianye".
Deep down in the hearts of Jianye people, they do not want the Jianye Hotel to establish the tallest building in Jianye. They are eager to hope that a new landmark in Jianye will declare the level of Jianye's economic development.
In 1998, the 412-meter-high Jinmao Building was built in Pudong, Shanghai. A skyscraper in Jianye finally won the title of a new landmark from the Jianye Hotel. What’s hateful is that the International Trade Center is only 148 meters high. At the well-known Ximiao Hutong Forum in Donghai Province, Jianye people were embarrassed to tell outsiders that the landmark record of Jianye was refreshed, but they often used this to ridicule others.
The rumors at the beginning were not too outrageous, and they were even relatively conservative. They only said that they would build a skyscraper with a height of about 200 meters. The specific height depends on the specific design plan. Generally speaking, standing on the roof of the building, you can see the entire Jianye area. The news was spread between the city and it changed its flavor after it was spread on the forum. First, you said that you should see the entire Jianye area when standing on the roof of the skyscraper, then you should see the Tianyun Mountain in Xinwu City, and then you should see the Jinshan Lake in Jinshan City, which is almost a record of 300 meters...
Forums are like markets, some are talking nonsense, and naturally some are questioning. The forum has been making a fuss for seven or eight days, and there are endless controversies. Someone really made a prank to make a rendering on the Internet to prove that the skyscrapers in Hudong is really going to be built. However, the rendering of this skyscraper in the picture looks like an Ida i19 mobile phone, with a flat shape in straight board, a titanium alloy gray main color, and a huge ventilation hole in the shape of an LCD screen on the top. The rendering also symbolically draws several windows with lights according to the layout of the mobile phone keyboard.
This is just a matter of providing materials to fuel the quarrels on the forum. It was not until Ida Group and the Jianye Municipal Council jointly issued a statement, announcing that it would collect the design plans of skyscrapers around the world for a huge sum of 60 million yuan and send an invitation letter to a world-renowned designer firm, that the doubts subsided.
On the other hand, the joint statement also announced that the design height of the skyscraper will not exceed the height of Yanguishan, which means that the design height of the skyscraper is limited to less than 248 meters.
Although the skyscrapers were not as high as expected, the Jianye people were not discouraged. The huge design fee of 60 million yuan became the new focus of discussion. The media's reaction was expected. On the Internet, not only the forums that Jianye people reached, but also on the forums related to architectural design, many netizens spontaneously discussed the design plan of the skyscrapers. The Jianye people version of the Ximiao Forum collected all the design plans online and held a vote. The result was that the prank design plan that imitated the appearance of the i19 received the highest response online.
Zhang Ke occasionally saw Ye Xiaotong using this rendering as a computer screensaver or wallpaper on his computer. He was so depressed that he had passed the words he and Shao Zhigang said to Ye Xiaotong to the ears of the skyscraper design that he and Shao Zhigang had to be consistent with the corporate philosophy, and he also didn't know who made this rendering.
"Would you like to send this design plan to the bosses for discussion? Maybe fifteen votes will be passed..." Ye Xiaotong joked with Zhang Ke.
He Xian and Chen Feirong smiled strangely. Zhang Ke really didn't know that there would be so many unfair things to do when they were mixed with a pregnant woman. He ridiculed him and just treated it as if it wasn't true.
Yan Wenjie, Lin Xue and others were quick to move. Haisu Technology held an extraordinary shareholders' meeting after three days of suspension of trading and passed the resolution to acquire Chuangyu Internet Cafe assets. On September 18, it entered the substantial asset delivery stage. Except for Ling Xiaoyan, Shi Xuebin and other senior management personnel withdrawing, the core members of the Chuangyu Club were withdrawn, the remaining Internet cafe management teams and technical teams were accepted by Haisu Technology. Haisu Technology established a wholly-owned subsidiary to operate the Internet cafe business, and continued to use the name of Chuangyu, and the full name is Chuangyu Information New Technology Co., Ltd.
This time, Wang Haisu finally gained some real power within Haisu Technology, serving as the general manager of Chuangyu Information New Technology Co., Ltd., and used 200 million yuan in development funds to develop direct-operated Internet cafes and chain Internet cafes in Jianye on a large scale.
Even if the words "new information technology" are added, it cannot reverse the fact that the Internet cafe industry has limited technology content. However, the gradually fanatical securities market and those small and medium-sized retail investors will not rationally realize this.
After Haisu Technology's stock was re-traded in the securities market, its stock price closed three consecutive daily limits before it fell slightly. For Hongxin Investment and Jingdian Real Estate, which participated in the targeted share issuance, the paper wealth rose by nearly 200 million in less than ten days. No wonder the securities market is so tempting. Jingdian Real Estate spent so much effort and did so many small moves last year, but none of them were handed over.
One thing that made Zhang Ke, Du Fei and the others feel a little unhappy. After Haisu Technology took over Chuangyu Network Cafe Assets, Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong, who were already in senior year, both entered Chuangyu Information New Technology Co., Ltd. and even claimed the title of intern manager.
The original Chuangyu Investment Co., Ltd., as it handed over the registered trademark and some of the intangible assets to Haisu Technology, was officially renamed Dongda Chuangyu Investment Co., Ltd., and its office space was temporarily moved to Dongda's resource building, which was next to the training base of the online school.
In late September, the weather began to cool down in Jianye. Walking under the sycamore trees, the setting sun shone, and light and shadow fell from the gaps of leaves. Standing among the bustling crowds, looking at the strange faces coming towards you, Zhang Ke is more likely to enter a state of deep thinking. Chen Feirong has to go to the Jingjian Center for an internship when she has time. Zhang Ke may either hide in the apartment to read books, handle some affairs, or walk to Xuefu Lane to find a cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows to see the abortion on the street.
Zhang Ke walked into the cafe and saw Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong and some people sitting in the seats by the window. He frowned slightly, and he was not disgusted as if he wanted to turn around and walk away. Besides, they had to leave.
Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong had a loud voice just now. When they saw Zhang Ke coming in, their voices were calm. They all knew who else in Jianye could not afford to offend him. Zhang Ke must be one, but the others didn't understand and continued to talk loudly there.
After listening for a while, it turned out that Hu Jinxing told them the inside story that they bought Haisu Technology's stocks and earned three daily limit versions before Haisu Technology acquired Chuangyu Network Cafe assets suspended.
This may be a reality in China's securities market in 1999. Insider trading has become a blatant behavior, and there are also a large group of people who specialize in stock trading based on real or fake insider information. The securities regulatory authorities have no crackdown on this. Even if Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong do not deny that it is them who disclosed insider information to others, it is not a big deal at all.
Zhang Ke listened to them talking loudly there, and only regarded it as a seasoning for drinking coffee. Although Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong were a little offended Zhang Ke, they were still a little dissatisfied and wanted to show off.
After listening to their talk, Zhang Ke knew about Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong and others bought a large number of stocks that were still ST Siyuan Pharmaceuticals before Haisu Technology went public through a backdoor listing. The increase was already seven times the cumulative increase. Looking at Hu Jinxing and Chen Yong's pride and show-off, Zhang Ke sighed in his heart: Young people are frivolous and actually leaked such important news to their opponents so casually. In the future, I am afraid that they won't even know how to die.
Zhang Ke could guess that Lin Xue, Yan Wenjie and Hu Zongqing had power and money transactions, but it was not easy to get a handle on such things. Even if there were many insidious tricks, it was not possible for Jinhu to take the initiative to destroy the balance of the political power in Jianye City without completely breaking up between the two sides.
Zhang Ke thought to himself: With Lin Xue and Yan Wenjie's thoughts, it is better to stuff money directly into Hu Zongqing's arms than to transfer benefits to Hu Zongqing by revealing insider information. After all, operations on Haisu Technology are very important to them, especially in the early stage, the spread of news must be strictly controlled to ensure that their interests are maximized. Could it be that Hu Zongqing is also a direct stakeholder?
In the mid-to-late 1990s, it was very common for government officials to hold dry shares in enterprises. If Hu Zongqing held dry shares in Haisu Technology, it should be when the Software Industry Park was established. Hu Zongqing performed the most actively at that time. What about Xiao Mingjian? Xiao Mingjian was also a person who strongly supported the Software Industry Park's establishment at that time.
It is difficult to find evidence. Hu Zongqing and Xiao Mingjian could not directly put their equity in his name. Zhang Ke frowned lightly, but his body came over. Seeing Hu Jinxing's nameplate with the intern manager of Chuangyu on his chest, he wondered if Hu Jinxing would take the opportunity to work in Haisu Technology, Jingdian Real Estate or Hongxin Group companies. They then gradually transferred the equity actually owned by Hu Zongqing to Hu Jinxing through various means?
After drinking coffee, he left the cafe and took him to the airport to wait. He had already stopped here and waited. Seeing pedestrians on the street watching him get into the Mercedes-Benz in surprise, Zhang Ke thought to himself: Should he change to a Maserati four-door sedan that ordinary people are not familiar with?
The University of Hong Kong has one day holiday, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. With double breaks, although it is not as good as the seven-day holiday in the mainland's Golden Week, it is quite good. Tang Jing is quite troublesome to come back. Besides, Jiang Daier's first solo concert will also be held in Hong Kong during the National Day. Zhang Ke rushed to Hong Kong to meet Tang Jing. Unfortunately, Chen Feirong is going back to Haizhou and cannot go to Hong Kong with him.
Departure from Jianye at six o'clock, and after arriving in Hong Kong, it was almost nine o'clock when he left the country. Since Ye Jianbin was going to fly to Jinshan the next day, Zhang Ke and Tang Jing left the airport and rushed directly to Yingwan Garden in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong to meet Ye Jianbin.
Sun Jingxiang's residence has always been in the Yingwanyuan Premium Apartment. Zhang Ke and Tang Jing rushed over and went directly to the private club in Yingwanyuan to find them. There were more than Ye Jianbin and Sun Jingxiang, Xu Wei, Jiang Daier and her mother all lived in the Yingwanyuan public apartment. Before Zhang Ke and Tang Jing arrived, they also drank and chatted in the club.
Zhang Ke looked at the table with a little thought, and he twisted it into his mouth. He spoke to Jiang Daier with a vague voice, stuffed a whole egg into his mouth, swallowed it, and then said to everyone: "Today, the dinner provided by China Eastern Airlines Business Class is like dog food, and it is hard for Fu Jun to eat my portion. I'm almost hungry," he looked at Jiang Daier holding a red wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "I told Tang Jing in the car that I would not see you before the concert. You will most likely lock yourself up and practice your singing skills. You are so disappointed to me..."
Jiang Daier drank some wine, her pretty face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. She hadn't seen Zhang Ke for a long time. She looked at him like this, and subconsciously wanted to dodge her eyes. She was originally going to practice singing in the recording studio, but when she heard that this guy was coming, she didn't insist on bringing her over to drink. She just smiled gently and didn't say anything.
He said hello to everyone casually, and then took some snacks and poured them into his stomach with red wine. He didn't feel so hungry, so Zhang Ke sat aside and talked to Ye Jianbin, telling Ye Jianbin his guess that Hu Zongqing could occupy dry shares in the Software Industry Park.
"At this time, everyone is in the sea water. I don't know who is wearing pants or who is not wearing pants. When the sea water retreats, those bare butts will reveal their true colors..." Ye Jianbin said.
"I'm afraid that people with bare ass will do their best to stop the sea from retreating," Zhang Ke smiled and said, "The tide is not something that human forces can stop. I hope they will hold on when the tide is low. The longer they hold on, the more things they have left, maybe there will be a light wave for us...
