188: Jiangcheng International Airport!
A wedding has touched Xia Xiaolan a lot.
After the wedding, she did not return to Qiongdao immediately, but stayed in Pengcheng.
Compared with other businesses under her name, Xia Xiaolan paid the least attention to Qihang Architects.
The firm initially relied on her funding. Later, by virtue of her fame, now it is not entirely by her!
By November this year, the total number of employees of Qihang Office was approaching 100.
Frank became a partner of the firm, and Kong Yongquan and Hou Qi, two senior architects who first joined the firm, also became partners. Everyone’s income and performance were linked, and the firm’s operations became self-sufficient. If Xia Xiaolan didn't invest money in it, she could still make some money.
Cough, I'm a little blushing when I say it, Xia Xiaolan is completely stocking up on Qihang Office.
Xia Xiaolan came to the firm today, and happened to meet Frank and Hou Qi arguing about something. Both of them are veterans of the firm and both partners. Although Hou Qi joined Qihang before Frank, Frank was also expanding his business for Qihang. The two heroes were of equal status, and they would not give in to each other when they quarreled, and Kong Yongquan, an honest man, could only persuade each other.
Of course, the two of them ignored him, and they had to quarrel.
Kong Yongquan saw Xia Xiaolan first, and Xia Xiaolan made a booing action to tell Kong Yongquan to keep quiet. She wanted to hear the reason for Frank and Hou Qi's dispute.
The two are not personal grudges, but for public affairs.
It turned out that Frank set his sights on the project of Jiangcheng International Airport. This project was approved by the state in 1985, and a new international airport was to be built in Jiangcheng, but so far, there is no conclusion about who will design the airport.
Many design units wanted to win, and everyone struggled with each other, but got stuck.
Frank got the news from somewhere, saying that the big project of Jiangcheng International Airport must start next year, and the design and planning are still pending, which is a good opportunity for Qihang Office:
"The world's leading architect firms have experience in designing large-scale infrastructure projects. We should stop other projects and concentrate on winning the airport project!"
Frank is right. Take the gmp that Xia Xiaolan is most familiar with, the founder of the West Berlin Tegel Airport project became famous.
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help nodding secretly. Frank was really attentive. Jiangcheng was going to build an international airport. Even Xia Xiaolan didn't pay attention to the news. Although the state approved the project in 1985, her thoughts were not in the Qihang Office in the past two years!
The earliest international airport in Jiangcheng is Tianhe International Airport.
Xia Xiaolan went on business trips several times in her last life.
Tianhe Airport is one of the eight major regional hub airports in China. It is a national first-class civil airport. Xia Xiaolan does not know which year it was put into use. After graduating from university, she was only a small salesperson, and she was not entitled to fly for business trips. It was around 2005 when I qualified as a trapeze.
If it is Tianhe International Airport, Xia Xiaolan is really excited.
But Hou Qi also has his own analysis:
"Huaguo's national conditions are different. A large-scale infrastructure project such as an airport will not be handed over to a private architect firm. Jiangcheng Design Institute cannot win this project, and the E Provincial Design Institute above, our odds of winning are almost zero. , it is irrational to mobilize the resources of the entire firm to compete for this project!"
Hou Qi felt that Frank, a foreigner, was just a fool.
Qihang Office can develop so well and can dig many architects. Apart from the high salary and good treatment, the main reason is that it has not touched the interests of those design institutes.
Before setting sail, there was no architect firm in Huaguo, and all the architectural designs in China were taken over by major design institutes. Students who study architectural design would be best assigned to design institutes and state-owned construction companies from all over the country after graduation.
For the cost of architectural design, unlike foreign countries, it is charged as a percentage of the total construction cost.
In the case of a large-scale infrastructure project such as an airport, the cost is in units of "100 million". If the design institute does not charge according to the percentage of the total cost, the design fee will not be less... A Jiangcheng International Airport can make the design institute go up and down. It was a very moist time, why should the design institute hand over such a project!
Hou Qi feels that now is not a good time to fight with domestic design institutes. She is not used to being too high-profile. She is taking the path of "building walls high, accumulating grains, and becoming king slowly". Then compete with major design institutes for infrastructure projects.
Frank, a foreigner, doesn't care about keeping a low profile. If he has the ability, he must fight for it—
Different countries, different cultures, different ways of handling things, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, but it is clear that Frank's approach is more in line with Xia Xiaolan's character.
"Sister Hou, why can't we fight?"
The two in the dispute finally saw Xia Xiaolan, Hou Qi called President Xia, Xia Xiaolan nodded: "Sister Hou, I know all your concerns, I personally agree to bid for Jiangcheng International Airport, it's just a waste of time for everyone to fail. Some income...even if the bid fails, this experience will be valuable!"
Frank applauded, Hou Qi was not ready to refute Xia Xiaolan in public, but she still had doubts by looking at her expression.
"I want to bid on this project with everyone."
Mr. Xia wants to join?
Hou Qi's hesitation disappeared in an instant!
Although I don't know how President Xia is willing to leave Qiongdao's side, when President Xia thinks of his identity as an architect, this identity is still very valuable - not that she is strong? Invincible, it is "?? Xia Xiaolan". The three characters are more famous than Hou Qi and others in China!
If Xia Xiaolan personally participated in the design, or even led the design, set sail
The project to compete for Jiangcheng International Airport is quite competitive...even if Xia Xiaolan has never done a similar project.
Where does this blind trust come from?
Hou Qi can't explain clearly!
…
Qihang Architects will participate in the bidding for the design of Jiangcheng International Airport!
This news surprised Mao Kangshan, not to mention others.
Although Xia Xiaolan won the "aia Supernova Architect" award, she is considered the leading architect of the younger generation in China, but she has to bid for Jiangcheng International Airport.
At the same time, the office buildings developed by Qihang are selling well in Qiongdao, and it is really easy to make money from peers. Now there are thousands of "real estate companies" in Qiongdao, large and small, and it is enough to speculate on land and properties, and learn hk Fry the condo over there!
Even if these companies have only one or two employees, they need office space. The office buildings built by Qihang are quite stylish. Some people buy them to work for themselves, and more people want to buy them for appreciation. These people really do everything!
Sheng Xuan was very jealous when she saw it, and wanted Zhu Suizhou to develop the land under the name of 'Yangfan Real Estate'. Yangfan Real Estate spent two years hoarding thousands of acres of land. At the current average price of 400,000/mu, it is worth 400 million!
400000000!
What a huge number, although he is using the land mortgaged with the bank to make repeated loan turnover, but if Zhu Suizhou now sells all the land under the name of "Yangfan Real Estate", in less than two years, he has made a profit of tens of millions—
Hoarding land is so profitable, why bother to develop it?
"A Xuan, I'm different from Xia Xiaolan. She is also speculating on the land, but she wants to cover it with a fig leaf. If you want profit and don't give up your name, you will be tied up. I only ask for profit, not fame. The shareholders have earned an inexhaustible wealth for our husband and wife, and I can do what I like in the future, and I don't have to be constrained by others..."
