Chapter 809 Exceeding the limit
Two days later, Chen Xu came to the Academy of Sciences with a stack of drawings, called Zhang Cang and Hu Kuan and other groups of supervisors who had completed the construction of Oriental Road. At the same time, he asked Meng Yun and several playboys to convene a Cuju field project preparation meeting in the conference room of the Academy of Sciences.
Meng Yun and a group of dandy playboys were the developers of Cuju Field. The Academy of Sciences established a construction company of the Academy of Sciences with Hu Kuan as the leader. Zhang Cang and the Academy of Sciences were designed and technically guided, and jointly planned and cooperated to build the Cuju Field.
According to Chen Xu's design, the total length of this oval professional Cuju field is more than 200 meters. It is divided into five-story stands according to the five elements. It is divided into twelve districts and sixty entrances and exits according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The first floor represents water and is designed as a closed stand. It is a special stand for royal families and nobles. It can accommodate thousands of people. The other four floors are only equipped with steps for ordinary people to watch. If the entire Cuju field is completed, it can accommodate more than 30,000 people to watch at the same time. As for the investment scale, Chen Xu cannot calculate it. This is Zhang Cang's business.
However, after everyone read the drawings hanging on the blackboard and the internal structure diagram roughly drawn by Chen Xu in chalk, the entire conference room was extremely quiet and he could only hear heavy breathing. Everyone, including Zhang Cang, had their eyes straight and a little congested, as if the bull in heat was about to fight.
Because apart from shock, everyone could not find any language to describe the spiritual impact brought to them by this large-scale Cuju venue. Many people felt that their souls had floated out of their bodies, swaying and dizzy, and Chen Xu's commentator's voice was also floating in their ears, a little illusory.
"Mr. Marquis, the building volume of this Cuju field is several times larger than that of the Weihe Bridge. The cement, sand and gravel consumed must be several times more than that of the construction of an 800-mile-long cement road..."
It was only after Chen Xu finished speaking that Zhang Cang was the first to react and stood up and stammered.
Chen Xu nodded: "Well, the project is naturally huge, and the building structure is relatively complex, but this is a small three-dimensional building, and there are no complex geographical factors such as rivers and mountains. The most important thing is to choose a place with stable and open geology. Moreover, the Cuju field is large and small, which is stair-shaped, as long as the base is strong enough. Today, Xianyang City and the Great Wall on the border are hundreds or even ten thousand times larger than this Cuju field, and the geological conditions are also hundreds or ten thousand times more complicated. Therefore, I believe everyone's abilities. You are all masters in the construction industry of Daqin. What's more, there are construction tools such as steel and cement. Therefore, there should be no problem for you to build this Cuju field. You must have confidence in yourself and cement, especially in the future development of the commercial and construction industry in Daqin. As long as this huge Cuju field is successfully built, I believe that no project will stump you in the future..."
After Chen Xu cheered up, the conference room immediately became excited. Hu Kuan jumped up and said, "Mr. Marquis said it well. We built the water wheel mill and the entire Dongfang Road without any experience. I have never seen the Great Wall on the border. However, it is said that the city walls that are several feet high or even dozens of feet high on the top of the mountains are all built with bricks and stones and three-millimeters. The mountain is steep and difficult to climb. It is all carried on the captives and prisoners and prisoners to carry it on their backs. It is more than a hundred times more difficult than using steel and concrete on the flat ground at present. They can repair it, why do you still have to shrink? Even if you use people to pile it up, you will definitely pile it up successfully. Marquis don't worry. My Daqin Academy of Sciences is now familiar with cement formula and concrete pouring hundreds of craftsmen. This project has been taken, and he dared to issue a military order to ensure that it will be built into what the Marquis wants!"
Hu Kuan made such a statement, and some other craftsmen and officials were naturally confident. Yes, such a large city in Xianyang and hundreds of huge palaces spread across the Wei River have been successfully built, and there is also the Great Wall of the border that stretches thousands of miles between the mountains and ridges. What's so difficult about such a mere Cuju venue!
Seeing that the people from the Academy of Sciences were willing to take over the construction of this Cuju field, Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with a little uneasy, "Brother-in-law, how much does it cost to complete the Cuju field?"
Chen Xu naturally didn't know, so he looked at Zhang Cang.
Zhang Cang twisted his beard and pondered for a long time before stretching out a finger.
"One million... Well, that's OK, the bookmaker can get the money right now!" Meng Yun nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Xu:...
A group of craftsmen and craftsmen all looked at Mengyun like idiots. Although Mengyun has a respectable status, in the eyes of technicians, everything who do not understand technology can be classified as idiots. Among them, they can even include the emperor. Technicians can surrender to power, but they will never give up their ideas and beliefs. Every programmer is a proud variety, and the project manager is the biggest idiot in the world.
"Young Master Meng, I'm talking about 100 million!" Zhang Cang said with a few trembling eyebrows.
"Clang~"
Meng Yun sat down with a soft body, then his chair tilted and his butt fell to the ground, and his head hit the wooden table. Almost at the same time, there was a slamming sound around him, and a group of playboys all fell to the ground.
"One hundred million, you... aren't you serious?" A playboy got up and looked at Zhang Cang with a gray face.
"This is the data I inferred based on the project quantity, so it will probably not be too wrong!" Zhang Cang shrugged.
"Mr. Marquis, can we not repair the Cuju venue anymore?" Several other playboys looked at Chen Xu in horror.
"Brother-in-law, I...I don't want to participate in the Cuju competition anymore!" Meng Yun's handsome cheeks got up and said stutteringly.
"One hundred million, well, the cost is really too high..." Chen Xu also shivered a little, and he pinched his chin and began to remain silent.
"Mr. Marquis, this Cuju venue is too expensive. If it is entirely dependent on Cuju competition, it will never be able to support it. I will not be able to make a profit in the next ten years. I suggest that it is more appropriate to build a smaller one!" Zhang Cang couldn't help but remind Chen Xu.
"What's the point of repairing a small one? It's better to just kick it on the river beach!" Hu Kuan disagreed.
"What should I do? One hundred million coins are equivalent to at least 2.5 million stones of grain. This money is enough to support the 300,000 army in a year!" said another mature and steadfast craftsman.
"Yes, yes, this amount of money is too large. If you want to repair it, you will not raise funds from merchants in Xianyang again..." Another craftsman nodded.
"Marty, let alone 100 million yuan, even if 10 million yuan is used to squeeze us out, we can't make it up. Let's not repair it!" A playboy begged with a sad face.
"Let this be put aside for the time being, and I will think of other ways before I can talk about it!" Chen Xu frowned and thought for a long time, and then asked Meng Yun to leave with a few playboys.
From the beginning of design, Chen Xu did not expect that this Cuju venue would have such a large investment, but Zhang Cang almost handled the engineering design and budget of the entire Dongfangdao. Naturally, what he said was not much different from the actual situation. However, 100 million was indeed beyond the limit that he and a group of dandy could bear. Without government investment, there would definitely be no need to repair it without the introduction of other funds.
A gymnasium with 30,000 people is not big in later generations. At most, it is a medium-sized project. Generally, second- and third-tier cities can bear it. However, this is two thousand years later. If the Qin Dynasty is to pay for the Inner Shi Mansion, it will definitely be able to repair it. However, the cost is too high, and the emperor will definitely not agree to this entertainment project.
This year, the Neishi Mansion was a little broader, but the entire Xianyang required money to spend. There were several palaces on both sides of the Wei River. In addition, the emperor's Mausoleum of Mount Li and tens of thousands of soldiers were consuming a lot of food and food every day. The Neishi Mansion would never agree and could not give out so much money.
The only way is to introduce social funds, but this investment is a bit invisible to the day when the profits are recovered. Apart from the Cuju competition, there is no commercial project that can add value and bring additional benefits like the service stations and logistics markets on Oriental Road.
There was a time when the gymnasium was built. The ancient Roman gladiatorium was not long since now, and it seemed to be two hundred years later. It was even more grand. The highest place was more than fifty meters and could accommodate 80,000 people to watch the competition at the same time. It was no different from the super-large gymnasium two thousand years later. Moreover, the building materials were volcanic ash and marble, and volcanic ash was actually cement.
After Meng Yun and other groups of playboys escaped, Chen Xu took out a few drawings again and began to explain on the blackboard about the construction of apartments and factories of the experimental factory and the School of Literature. After the lecture, Zhang Cang and Hu Kuan and a group of craftsmen began to prepare, first build a five-story apartment building to see the effect, and also accumulate some experience in building high-rise buildings.
For the next few days, Chen Xu stayed in Qinghe Villa and thought about countermeasures to build Cuju Field.
The purpose of the gymnasium is very single, and basically has no other purpose except watching sports competitions. Many gymnasiums in later generations are basically supported by the government, so none of them can make money.
"Maybe I've been thinking too much, it's too difficult!" Chen Xu thought about it for a few days and decided to temporarily put down the matter of repairing the Cuju venue.
"Mr. Marquis, there is a palace servant outside the door to issue an order. Your Majesty asks you to go to the palace!"
Chen Xu came out of the study room, and the guard rushed in and reported.
"Come on, help me change my clothes!" Chen Xu looked at his somewhat disheveled image in a mirror and asked his servants to prepare his clothes for him. Meng Wan and a few maids appeared soon, and Ying Shiman also came in carefully with the help of the two maids.
"If you are pregnant, you don't have to serve me every day. Just have Wan'er and the maid!" Chen Xu quickly helped Ying Shiman sit down on the chair.
"Husband, please let me do some work, otherwise I will be moldy every day!" Ying Shiman looked at Chen Xu with beautiful big eyes. She was nearly four months pregnant, and her lower abdomen was obviously bulging. She was served by a group of maids and palace maids every day. She was white, fat and rich.
"You can go out to relax when you are so bored on weekdays. If you don't let your maid do some handmade work with you, knitting sweaters or cutting clothes, don't do strenuous exercise..."
With the help of Meng Wan and a few maids, Chen Xu quickly put on his clothes and tidy up.
"I have visited all the nearby places recently, and there are no fun places. I can only look at Tuantuan and Yuanyuan every day. I want to go to the wardrobe. Sister Caiwei said a few days ago that she wanted to open a large wardrobe in the city, specializing in selling women's clothes. I don't know if she found a suitable place..."
"A big clothes house?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Haha, Shiman, you are really my good helper. It seems that my Cuju venue has hope of being built!" Chen Xu happily hugged Ying Shiman and kissed him hard, and said with a smile.
Under the attention of Meng Wan and a group of maids, Ying Shiman's cheeks were flushed in an instant, but she held Chen Xu's hand with great happiness and said shyly: "Husband, I didn't say anything!"
"Why didn't you say that Caiwei wanted to open a big clothing house, which reminded me of the fact that I could use Cuju Field to open a big department store, and then integrate Qinghe shops and many business houses inside and outside Xianyang City. Taking this opportunity to raise a lot of money. I will talk about this matter slowly when I come back, and I will go to the palace first..."
Chen Xu left the backyard with excitement on his face and soon took a group of guards to the palace in a carriage.
"My husband's idea is so strange. He puts all the business houses together. Then, in the future, you only need to go to the Cuju venue to buy things!" Meng Wan murmured.
