Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 199: design

The odds offered by the bookmaker Henry was very speechless. He said to Simon Hodge: "At the end of 1993, if the bookmaker still offered a 1:3 odds, Firefly Games would buy a billion dollars to win by themselves. See if they dare. I dare not pick it up!!!"

Hearing this, Simon Hodge felt extremely refreshed in his heart.

"Yes, I understand!!!"

...

Bidding for the design of the Williams Center has begun, and hundreds of companies’ designs have been emailed to Cisco’s official website. John Chambers and others selected ten best designs from the mid-level competition!

The final decision is still in Henry's hands.

Henry left the Firefly Game Company and went to Cisco.

Cisco chairman's office.

The pictures are switched from time to time on a huge projection screen!

The content on the picture is a cleverly designed, very unique, and full of high-tech high-rise buildings!

"Chairman, this is the design drawing of the ten best design companies we have selected!" John Chambers said while showing it.

Henry nodded and continued to look at the design drawings carefully.

When the blueprint was switched to the fifth company, Henry screamed to stop.

"Which company does this blueprint belong to?" Henry asked.

"Wiin Architectural Design Company, the design company is the most prestigious architectural design agency in the world. It used to mainly serve the British royal family and aristocratic families above the marquis!" John Chambers looked at Henry and said, "Chairman. This company was founded in London, England in 1919. Its founder has the same surname as you, also called'Williams'. In addition, he is also a baron!!!"

"What a coincidence?!!!" Henry said in surprise. Immediately asked: "Have you investigated the descendants of the founder?"

"Investigation!" John Chambers nodded. "After the founder of Winwin Architects passed away, his grandson Albert Williams inherited Winwin, but later he owed a debt because of his failure to invest in stocks. , And finally had to sell the company to others! According to the investigation, Albert Williams has two sons, one is Alexander Williams, who died in a car accident; the other is Peter Williams. Currently one A car mechanic! So..."

Henry understood. His father in this life is called Alexander Williams, who died in a car accident, and his uncle's name is Peter Williams, who is the car mechanic! It is not difficult to guess that he is the descendant of the founder of winwin architectural design company!

"I'm very satisfied with the design drawings of this company," Henry said lightly, "but. I bought this company first!"

"Yes, I understand!" John Chambers nodded understandingly.

The design drawings of Winwin Architectural Design Company are very well designed, which made Henry a match at a glance. The combination of technological style and artistic style is very strong. It looks full of science and technology, simple and lively, but in the details it reveals the Art Deco style. It makes the whole building look like a work of art.

The Williams Center is composed of fifty buildings in the shape of a ring. More than ten commercial streets, large and small, have been formed by the transportation of rice paddies. The ground floor of the building is all connected. Form a huge and complex underlying city!

In addition to the headquarters building of the company under Henry’s name, these buildings also designed four buildings: "Williams Stadium", "Williams Art Museum", "Williams Science and Technology Museum" and "Williams Shopping Center" Large building!

The design of the Williams Stadium is based on the requirements for hosting the Olympic Games. It can undertake basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, handball, gymnastics, boxing, indoor football, ice sports and NBA events!

The design of the Williams Art Center includes a concert hall, dance theater, gallery, movie hall, and relief sculpture!

As for the Williams Science and Technology Museum, it is a place to showcase human technological inventions!

In addition, the entire Williams Center has also designed many very distinctive attractions, such as fountains, boulders, sculptures, Williams Center Plaza...

After Henry read the design drawings of winwin architectural design company, he went on to look down. If there is a good design, it can be combined and the two design companies work together!

When Henry saw the design of the seventh company, he was immediately shocked. After Henry asked John Chambers, he learned that this is the design of the American SOM architectural design firm, which is the most powerful architectural design firm. The place lies in the world-class status in the design of large buildings, high-rises and super high-rise buildings, unmatched!

In their design drawings, they boldly designed the Williams laboratory in the center of Williams as a 666-meter-high giant tower, which is very similar to the Burj Khalifa. Once completed, it will surpass the Twin Towers of the New York Trade Center and become the tallest building in the world! ! !

Henry was shocked at first, and his heart was overwhelming, but then he hesitated. If this is completed, what if the book is fancy? It’s a tragedy not to hit the Twin Towers, but to hit the Williams Laboratory...

Henry frowned!

John Chambers wondered: "Chairman, this design is very good. After it is completed, it will definitely shock the world!!!"

Henry smiled bitterly in his heart, of course, it would shock the world, and it would also attract the attention of Ben Ladeng.

Alas, whether to build or not to build?

Let's continue to look down, the design drawings of SOM Design Office have not been finished yet!

Then the pictures changed, and Henry was shocked again.

At this time, there were more than a dozen buildings twisting upwards on the projection screen. When Henry saw, how could it look like the Candlelight Tower in Dubai? Buildings come together to form a dance-like sculpture, which looks like a candlelight is flashing!

Damn it, reality Burj Khalifa, then the Candlelight Building in the wind, SOM Architects, so hanging? ! !

Is this company going to design buildings for Dubai in the future? ! ! !

"Chairman, these two design drawings are designed by a designer named Adrian Smith. I think his creativity is very bold, but the more so, the more genius!!!" John Qian Perth said from the side.

"Yeah!" Henry nodded in agreement, "The design is very bold and creative!!!"

Winwin Architects and SOM are more in line with Henry's wishes than ~lightnovelpub.net~. This crazy, unconventional design, and full of sense of technology, is exactly what Henry wants to see!

However, according to SOM's design, the construction cost of the entire Williams Center will probably cost more than 10 billion U.S. dollars! ! !

And the completion time will be at least five years from now!

If you don’t use such a good design, you will use it in Dubai in the future...think about it, Burj Khalifa and the Wind Candle Tower, which one is not a landmark building, and which one is not bullshit?

"Chairman, winwin's design is artistic and service-oriented, and SOM's design is more avant-garde and bold. I think the combination of the two is the best!"

Henry nodded: "Well, yes, it's just..."

Alas, I just built the Burj Khalifa by myself and the Candlelight Tower in the Wind. Wouldn’t it be too bunkers, and then Ben can’t see it?
