Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 273 The tallest building
"Has the stock price risen again?"

"Yes! Mr. Li is really a god! Not only has the stock price risen, but it has also increased by 7%. The sales volume of our comic magazine in Neon has exceeded 100 million, making it the fifth largest comic magazine in Neon. Everyone is very optimistic about it. The future of the company!”

In the office of DreamWorks, Li Wannian, who was in the long future, rarely appeared in the company's office.

As the most prominent person in DreamWorks last year, Xie Qinghai, general manager of the investment company, stood respectfully in front of Li Wannian.

Nowadays, Xie Qinghai's admiration for Li Wannian is like the endless flow of the surging river, and like the Yellow River bursting its banks, out of control!
Li Wannian's accurate prediction of the future far exceeds Xie Qinghai's imagination. Is this still something humans can do?

It seems that as long as Li Wannian says that the stock price will fall, the stock price will fall, and if he says that the stock price will rise, the stock price will rise!
Sometimes, Xie Qinghai wonders, if he had this ability, why would he draw comics?Just by casually trading in the stock market, you can earn more money than you can spend in your lifetime.

Can't you just enjoy life?Why do you still get up early every day and work late at night drawing comics?

"How much money did we make this time?"

"About [-] million! This time I don't have much capital and I don't dare to make any big moves!"

This time, with the help of the news of the completion of "Dragon Ball" and the launch of Neon's "Weekly Shōnen Century", the method of short selling first and then selling helped Two-dimensional Investment Company earn a small goal.

As a banker, it is so easy to make money in the stock market now!

Just release a piece of news casually and you can cut a crop of leeks.

Therefore, the higher the stock price, the better, but the best controllability!
Now Li Wannian doesn't even have to worry too much. He only needs to tell Xie Qinghai the news. He doesn't need to worry about the rest at all. He can just wait at home for the money to arrive!

DreamWorks Investment Company is not so much an investment company under the DreamWorks Group as it is the private purse of the Li family. Now with the help of banks, it can be said that they are making money every day.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, someone knocked on the door of Li Wannian's office.

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work, go and do your work!"

"Yes!"

Xie Qinghai bowed quickly and came to the door. He opened the door and found that it was Li Wanshui.

"Mr. Li!"

"Are you still talking?"

"We've finished talking! You two talk about things, I'm leaving first!"

Just like that, when Xie Qinghai left, he quietly closed the door.

"What were you just talking about?"

"What can we talk about with him? It's just to understand the profit status of the investment! The rest came before we even had time to talk about it!"

"Do you blame me?"

Seeing the drawings and documents Li Wanshui was holding, Li Wannian knew the purpose of his eldest brother's visit to him, so he stood up and walked forward from behind the desk.

"Can you please let me take a breath? The office has not been quiet since I came here this morning!"

Arriving in front of Li Wanshui, Li Wannian was angry.

"Who makes you unable to come to the company a few times throughout the year? As a result, everyone who wants to report to you can't find anyone!"

"Don't we have you in the company?" Li Wanshui sat on the sofa and placed the documents and drawings he brought on the table.

"Are these all design drawings?"

Li Wannian took the opportunity to sit aside and picked up a drawing on the table at random.

"Yes! Isn't this for you to be the advisor?"

"The land was bought so quickly?"

Li Wannian picked up a drawing at random, and a building came into view. It had to be said that the rows were separated like mountains. Li Wannian couldn't understand this kind of architectural design drawing.

"That's natural!" Li Wanshui was very proud of this.

"Isn't there a Murray Building above that? It has a history of more than 100 years. Can the government allow you to demolish it?"

Murray House was built in 1844 as part of the Victoria Barracks and was mainly used as a barracks for the British army.

After World War II, it was used as offices by many Hong Kong government departments.

In the 70s and [-]s, due to frequent hauntings, the government had to hire pastors, priests and even monks to exorcise ghosts. Not to mention Christianity and Buddhism competing on the same stage, the key is to reimburse public funds.

It’s a shame they thought up the idea of ​​using public funds!
"It has been negotiated. Don't worry. The Hong Kong Island Government will move the entire Murray Building to Stanley. After they move out, we can start construction!"

When they were bargain hunting in September last year, Li Wannian and Li Wanshui obtained a piece of land from Chinese Real Estate, No. 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong Island, a piece of land of more than 8000 square meters.

Due to the continuous acquisitions of DreamWorks, the company's headquarters is now full and cannot accommodate so many employees, so some departments have to be moved to other places!
In addition, they are now so rich, they have real estate companies, and banks, so the two brothers started planning to build a building.

"Which design do you like the most?"

Li Wannian looked at a few design drawings at random and felt that he couldn't see anything, so he asked Li Wanshui.

“Of course it’s Master Bei’s work, it’s my favorite!”

With that said, Li Wanshui found one from the pile of design drawings and handed it to Li Wannian.

This so-called Master Pei is naturally the famous Chinese architect Pei Lüming!
As a world-famous architect, his works are world-renowned, such as the glass pyramid of the Louvre, the Kennedy Library, the Fragrant Hill Hotel, etc., and this time the design he came up with is also very eye-catching.

The entire building is composed of the simplest lines. The bottom ten floors of the building are almost square. After that, the upward and outward side extends diagonally upward, while the other two sides narrow toward the center and diagonally upward. The stretched sides meet, like bamboo rising steadily, hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

According to the design drawings, after the entire building is completed, it will be 315 meters high, and the height of the two top poles (about 50 meters) will total 368 meters. It can be said that it is the tallest building in Hong Kong Island and even in Asia at this time. .

After Li Wannian read it, he also thought it was very good. It was simple and elegant. Although it could not be said to be very good, it was at least much better than the "bottle opener" or "big pants".

"Okay, let's do this!"

Even if the land price plummets, the value of this land is more than one billion. Add in the construction cost of the entire building, which is another billion. It can be said that the entire project is at least 20 billion.

But at this time, Li Wannian's tone was as if he was shopping for groceries, extremely relaxed and freehand.

Seeing that Li Wannian had decided, Li Wanshui naturally had no objection. He nodded and ignored the drawings and documents.

Instead, he lit a cigar, puffed away for a while, and said, "When are you going to leave for the United States?"

"Next month!"

Li Wannian gets a headache when he thinks that he still has a lot of comics to draw, but he has to run around here and there!
