Complaints are complaints, Sun Dahai still looked at these renderings seriously. At the same time, Catherine stopped joking. She explained bit by bit based on what Sun Dahai saw.
This plot of land faces the street on the north and south sides and has a relatively neat shape. In the end, the designer designed it into three buildings, namely the office building, the main building and the sn. The three buildings are connected by a glass passage in the middle.
If you take a bird's-eye view from the air, you can find that this group of buildings forms the standard Chinese character "็".
The upper horizontal line is a 200-meter-wide, 12-story office building with a wavy shape. Except for the lobby on the first floor and the equipment floors on the fourth floor, all are office areas of varying sizes.
This place will all be rented out, and its target customers are small research and development high-tech companies. I donโt know how many billionaires will be born here in the future.
The middle horizontal line is the company's main administrative building, which is only four stories high and more than a hundred meters wide. It is divided into two parts: the left and right parts. The left is the branch office area, and the right is the membership-only fitness center with a swimming pool.
The longest horizontal line is sn. Like an office building, it is also wavy, as if it is composed of several small buildings. The width of sn is more than 300 meters, and the height ranges from four floors to one floor. After the designer's
Carefully designed, it looks well-proportioned.
sn will provide comprehensive commercial supporting services to office building customers, and even customers throughout Silicon Valley. The investment targets here include banks, restaurants, supermarkets, clothing department stores, and even design plans for a cinema and a three-star hotel have been reserved.
.
The vertical line in the middle of the word "็" is the glass passage that runs through the three buildings, making them organically become a whole.
Sun Dahai already knew the entire design concept from the phone call, but seeing the hand-drawn renderings so intuitively still felt very attractive.
"Yes, if this effect can be achieved in the end, it will lay a very solid foundation for the investment company to gain a foothold in Silicon Valley and the United States. Catherine, you have done a great job."
Sun Dahai was very satisfied and naturally he would not be stingy in praising Zhu Lihua.
"I'm really happy if I can satisfy my boss."
Zhu Lihua said she was happy, but her face had a matter-of-fact expression. She is truly a confident and proud strong woman!
"I reported to you on the phone before that as a new company, our company will still face great difficulties if it wants to enter the American market, especially in the high-tech field.
Therefore, the company's initial actions must be slow. We must subtly let the industry accept us.
This is why I put my energy on this piece of land first. Silicon Valley is becoming more and more famous, but the supporting facilities in the core area are still far behind.
People who work there often need to drive twenty or thirty minutes to a nearby town or city to buy some daily necessities.
Moreover, there are almost no buildings with more than six floors in Silicon Valley. I think this is also our advantage. I have submitted the design drawings to the Santa Clara City Government for review.
Before boarding the plane, city government officials came to me and communicated with me in advance. They said that after the drawings are reviewed and approved, the government may provide some preferential policies for this project to encourage us to make up for the business shortcomings of Silicon Valley. They also hope that our buildings
The group can become one of the landmark buildings in Silicon Valley."
"Okay, but we can't let them lead us. We still have to focus on our direction. The next step is to start the investment recruitment work?"
"The architectural design studio is very confident that the plan will be approved. Now they have started to make sand tables and prepare for the project presentation.
After the government approves our project, we first need to invite bids, find a suitable construction party among builders who meet the construction qualifications, and sign a construction contract.
At this time, we can free up our hands to carry out investment promotion. However, you should decide on the name of the project now. You can't just use the name temporarily."
"Well, the term "future building" is not appropriate. Our company is purely Chinese capital. In the high-tech field of the United States, it is best not to appear directly as an investor to avoid trouble."
Sun Dahai was thinking as he talked, and then looked at the overall rendering.
"Yes!" Sun Dahai had an idea and came up with a good name: "Blue Ocean, how about this name? Blue Ocean Shopping Center and Blue Ocean Building are called bn and bnbn in English."
"Blue Ocean? This name goes well with the two buildings. Does this name simply describe the appearance of the building, or does it have other meanings?" Zhu Lihua asked.
"Blue ocean and red ocean are a set of relative words. Red ocean represents a fiercely competitive, known market space. Blue ocean represents an emerging, unknown market space that has not yet been discovered or fully exploited its potential.
When we make investments, especially in the high-tech field, what we want is this blue ocean spirit and marching into unknown markets.
From new industries to new technologies, new processes or new theories and concepts, this is the best target for our investment.
Hey, you're a Harvard student, don't you know the gratitude of this blue ocean? You didn't study hard when you were in school, just make progress every day!" Sun Dahai started to criticize people with a smile.
Zhu Lihua frowned, thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head and said: "In my memory, I have never heard this kind of gratitude. But your explanation is really very appropriate.
I like this name very much, and I will support your naming with both hands and feet."
Seeing that Zhu Lihua supported his naming, he stopped criticizing her. However, Sun Dahai suddenly thought that the concept of blue ocean was clearly proposed for the first time in the Harvard Business Review in October 2004.
No wonder Zhu Lihua hadn't heard of it. It turned out that he was too ahead of his time. Sun Dahai smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Last time you said that you were planning to open another investment company in the United States in order to bypass some policy barriers and increase the possibility of investment approval. How are you preparing now?"
"The preparation work has been completed. I was just busy dealing with the land in the early stage and didn't pay attention to it. However, the main personnel of the branch have been hired by a headhunting company. The suitable people have signed contracts first. After the Spring Festival, I will go to the United States.
deal with."
"How is the personnel situation? Have you already been interviewed?" Sun Dahai asked casually.
"The headhunting company found their information, I read it, and conducted preliminary interviews with them. Several of the people I am quite satisfied with have already arranged for them to go to Xiangjiang during the Christmas period to invite Qiao Hongwei and Steve
Wen passed the interview in person."
As she spoke, Zhu Lihua began to rummage through her large briefcase again, found relevant information, and showed it to Sun Dahai.
These are several recommendation letters from headhunting companies, which contain various information about the recommended persons and the evaluation given by the headhunting company.11
