Consulting designers and artists for some general technical advice and design ideas, as long as there is no leakage related to the project she is currently responsible for, is considered acceptable in the industry.
Since consulting services are provided, it is only natural to charge consulting fees.
It can only be said that the entry point Wang Yuxuan chose at the beginning was so good that it was difficult for the designer to detect his evil intentions before the amount of money reached a certain level.
Qin Ya saw it this time, and she has to thank Gu Kun for giving all the designers at Tongji and Jiaotong University repeated eye drops in advance to remind them to be vigilant, so they developed this vigilance. If it were other previous projects, Qin Ya's mind would be completely
Without this strength, he might have been attacked by now.
After Gu Kun considered his attitude, he said kindly: "You can accept all the gifts. I will triple the amount he gives you. However, you must follow my instructions later."
"Of course." Qin Ya agreed without hesitation.
Gu Kun nodded: "Miss Qin, it seems that I have seen your character correctly."
Qin Ya: "This is not just a matter of character. I can only say that those guys underestimated me and did not understand my pursuit at all. When the money reaches a certain level, it is enough to spend it. The extra money is useless.
Can money buy a world record? Can a designer's work be included in the annals of history and included in primary and secondary school art textbooks like Master Ieoh Ming Pei? I know very well that you will give me enough money to spend, and you can also buy it.
Let me study in a textbook, which is something no one else can do."
Gu Kun was very satisfied: "Very good, it's easy to talk to smart people, then you do it like this..."
Gu Kun roughly explained the rhythm, and the general idea was that Qin Ya was allowed to come up with the "No. 2 plan" that had been prepared at the right time.
Qin Ya's heart trembled: "Didn't you say... that one is for guarding against people in Dubai?"
"It can be used whether it's true or false, half-promised or half-assed. Just don't let them succeed all at once before giving it to these little characters. Spread some smoke bombs first. When you pretend that you can't hide it anymore, or after you squeeze out the oil and water,
Let’s reveal the ‘dry stuff’ again.
Also, if you are not sure what to do, report to Tang Jia secretly after each negotiation operation is temporarily over, she will teach you, and if she feels it is necessary, she will also ask me personally for instructions."
After all, Tang Jia is already Lan Fang's foreign minister. People who study international relations have received some education in espionage, and their acting skills are much more realistic than those of Qin Ya, who is wild.
"I know what to do." After Qin Ya agreed, she quietly withdrew.
…
The next day, Wang Yuxuan, who had no idea what happened the night before, took the opportunity to make an appointment with Qin Ya again.
The confidentiality arrangements around Qin Ya are still very tight now. Even if there are publicity needs from the media, she will still be banned at night because it is not working time.
It was impossible for Wang Yuxuan to ask the other party to have dinner together. At most, they could just have a drink during the afternoon tea time. To make a long story short.
But Wang Yuxuan is very confident. He feels that the gifts he has sent to the other party in the past few days, as well as the kind of goodwill shown by the other party, are relatively ambiguous and have not refused. There should be a high probability that he will fall into his beauty trap. (He thinks to himself,
In fact, he is not very handsome, even worse than Gu Kun)
At afternoon tea that day, the two of them drank ice-cold cat poop coffee. At first, they talked about some serious topics about helping to promote the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel. After the atmosphere became more harmonious, Wang Yuxuan changed the subject without leaving any trace, and gradually
Technical guidance:
"Ms. Qin, I noticed a detail. Your institute should have done a lot of in-depth research on the design of Building 3 of the Lanfang Burj Al Arab Hotel based on the combination of marine engineering and complex foundation environment.
I wonder if you have ever considered whether that kind of "mast structure" with "through-core steel columns to support the load" can be used to lift heavier and higher-rise buildings? The potential limit of this model and other derived technology models is
where?"
Qin Ya pretended to be slightly wary: "Why are you asking these questions? It will definitely cost a lot to verify this problem. I don't think your classmates will use it in daily design. Architectural design is not based on theoretical deductions. It needs to be modeled.
Experiments, wind tunnel tests...
Many structural verifications cannot be simulated. In the future, related design software may be more developed, but that is only based on sufficient experimental data before low-cost simulation can be considered."
Wang Yuxuan didn't take it seriously either, because he himself didn't know much about architectural design and only had some superficial skills in chatting. He could initially judge whether what others said was complete nonsense or whether it had some credibility.
When he raised this question, it was just a test of perspective.
After a few sensitive exchanges with Qin Ya, he found out that the other party seemed to be "indulged in the previous gifts and friendship, and had no intention of falling out with him." Wang Yuxuan thought he had a good handle on it.
He took a deep breath and asked straight to the point: "I won't hide it from you now. I want to know how high the Lanfang Tower is going to be built. Don't be nervous. I won't ask you in vain. Just answer me casually."
Whether it’s a number or whether you lie to me, these are all yours.”
This was the most critical step. Qin Ya could not be put under too much psychological pressure, so Wang Yuxuan spoke very quickly and quickly stuffed a medium-sized cowhide envelope into it.
Qin Ya was really caught off guard. She was so shocked that before she could scream, she pressed the envelope with her hand, showing a curiosity that she wanted to open it and take a peek.
Wang Yuxuan saw this secretly curious expression and was very satisfied. He quickly pretended to be embarrassed and turned his face away as if waiting for the trial, giving Qin Ya a chance to peek.
As he expected, Qin Ya took a sneak peek and found that it contained 200,000 euros.
The euro only became the sole currency in European countries in 2001, but this currency was already issued in early 1999. The first two years were considered a transition period. The euro, franc, and mark could circulate in parallel, and there was a constantly fluctuating exchange rate.
The maximum denomination of the euro is 500 yuan, and its exchange rate is higher than that of the U.S. dollar, making it the best choice for private cash transfers.
A stack of money one centimeter thick contains 50,000 euros. 200,000 euros can be put in an ordinary medium-sized cowhide envelope, without even a file bag/express envelope.
Qin Ya pretended to tremble a few times without shouting. She didn't know whether her acting skills were good or not.
Wang Yuxuan was nervous for a few seconds, then he breathed a sigh of relief and strengthened his suspicion: "Haha, what kind of big money have you seen from that kind of mainland designer? Mainland people all don't respect intellectual property rights! Science and technology workers can't get their labor.
Respect, no wonder they yearn for our free world!
Look at the distribution scale of our publishing industry in the Bay Area. Except for textbooks that are forced to be sold by mainlanders, our other Chinese distribution is almost five times that of the mainland! No wonder so many people in the cultural world have abandoned the dark side in recent years. Just because of the mainland’s barbaric theft
The market is rampant, and it seems that the market of more than one billion people is not much larger than our population of 20 million!"
The data in Wang Yuxuan's mind are not bad at all. Until 2008, when Internet literature was on the rise, in the non-tool book publishing and distribution industry, the genuine rate of Wanwan was about two hundred times that of the mainland, so that
The population is only one-fiftieth of the mainland, but the market is four times larger than the mainland.
In order not to starve to death, many people who write leisurely books would rather write a simplified version and then convert it to a traditional Chinese version for publication, rather than letting a simplified Chinese version of their works appear in the world, so as not to starve to death. In such a general environment, Wang Yuxuan is the one who accepts it.
It’s not surprising that a literary man who grew up in Bay Area propaganda would have such blind pride.
His long-standing awareness of mainland piracy and the low status of literati led him to believe that "even if the design fee for this project is high, the designers at the bottom who are being exploited will still not get much money for their intellectual achievements."
However, the data on the mainland's board piracy rate makes Gu Kun's deception more credible due to a combination of circumstances.
The two sides were silent for a few seconds. Wang Yuxuan waited for Qin Ya to slowly digest the fact that he had accepted the 200,000 euros as a favor fee, and then he further quietly encouraged rebellion: "This is just a trivial matter. Let me tell you everything now. I am the party responsible for the Wanbei Financial Center project."
We are determined to win the title of No. 1 in the world.
As long as you cooperate with us, this 200,000 yuan is just a carriage fee. It's just a small thing in the early stage. You just casually report the number, how high the Lanfang Tower is, and we don't verify it. The money is already yours. If you are willing to provide more detailed technology
Let our people verify the information, even if the reward is ten times that, it will be easy. Our offer is much more generous than that of a small country like Lanfang."
The name "Booger Country" was invented by the people of Wanwan. Historically, it was originally a proper term used to complain about Li Jiapo. Now it does not feel inappropriate to use it to complain about Lan Fang. Although Lan Fang's land area is five times that of Li Jiapo, it can
The population is only a few tenth of Lijiapo. It was an agricultural country back then, but it has only been a few years since it was promoted by Gu Kun.
Qin Ya pretended to take a few deep breaths and acted out the drama of hesitation: "Gu Kun has great ambitions. He doesn't just want to be satisfied if he surpasses Malaysians by a little bit. Lan Fang Pagoda... it has to be more than 500 meters."
, not the kind of person who makes small fuss over four hundred and eighty-nine."
Wang Yuxuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
The Lanfang Tower would be over 500 meters tall, which he had already thought of before coming here.
Although, as long as he builds one with a height of more than 470 meters, he will surely surpass the current number one in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. But with Gu Kun's usual desperate attitude, he must try to tap out the potential of the current technology as much as possible.
Only Malaysian state-owned enterprises can do such a short-sighted thing.
"Of course, we know that it must be more than 500 meters. We can also deduce this through previous publicity speculations - can you be more specific?"
"I'm sorry, I don't feel well today. I'm a little confused." Qin Ya pretended to be panicked and left quickly.
Wang Yuxuan did not alarm the people around him and insisted on staying. He saw the other party's behavior and interpreted it more as "this girl must have taken the money and was embarrassed not to tell anything, but she was not determined to tell the truth completely."
But this made him feel more at ease.
If Qin Ya said everything directly without any hesitation about professional ethics, he would be worried instead.
The current reaction of "don't owe any favors, take the money and talk a little bit to reduce the guilt" is the reflex that an untrained person should have when being bribed, hindering the favors.
All he has to do now is wait. If he hasn't been evicted in two days and no other news leaks out, then he can be prepared to risk a lot of money in exchange for a detailed design plan.
