216: Chapter 216 The World’s Tallest Building!In fact, the world’s current tallest skyscraper has long belonged to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which reaches a height of over eight hundred thirty meters.

Its total construction cost has already exceeded 1.5 billion USD.

The Muham Family is currently preparing to build a nine-hundred-meter skyscraper, which would just happen to outdo the Burj Khalifa.

However, the thousand-meter skyscraper Shen Zhou plans to build does not seem to be much taller than the one the Muham Family is preparing.

Yet, this height difference of less than one hundred meters will require significantly more scientific technology and capital to complete.

When a building reaches such a height, it means that the foundation must be refined to a much deeper level.

This is definitely a project that will severely test construction techniques.

”I just don’t know how much the total cost will be.”

Shen Zhou immediately shared his plan with Maria, who was by his side.

”Ah...”

”Boss, the difficulty of constructing a skyscraper over six hundred meters is immense.”

”Not to mention the massive cost, this project would likely require gathering the top architects from around the world to complete.”

”Furthermore, since you mentioned that the Muham Family in Dubai is already preparing to build a nine-hundred-meter skyscraper, they have likely already recruited many of the best architects.”

”We should probably deliberate on this at length.”

”As for the cost you mentioned, I estimate the total construction expenses will be at least over five billion USD.”

Maria quickly estimated a rough figure based on her own experience.

However, the specific figure would require her to find professionals to conduct a project assessment and draft a project proposal.

”You don’t need to worry about the money, but I am determined to see this through.”

Shen Zhou said decisively.

Hearing this, Maria said without hesitation:

”Boss, I know an architect friend who is quite famous in Europe and America.”

”She also owns her own architectural firm, and many of the designers at her company have participated in the design work for numerous large buildings.”

”As for the construction team, there is absolutely no need to worry. Once this project is announced, construction teams from all over the world will surely flock to it.”

By the end, Maria became increasingly excited.

According to her, as long as this project is open for international bidding,

then major design teams will certainly compete for it.

If they can participate throughout the entire process and complete the construction of this project, the winning design team will surely gain immense fame, not to mention the profits.

In reality, the construction of skyscrapers exceeding several hundred meters is extremely difficult.

Especially when designing the structural blueprints, the architect needs to incorporate many special design styles into the plans based on the local environment.

For example, how the building can withstand the erosion of sea winds and moisture to the greatest extent.

Or how the building should support its massive weight, and so on.

Therefore, the thousand-meter skyscraper that Shen Zhou plans to build will definitely be a marvel in the history of architecture.

Furthermore, whether this building can be successfully constructed is also a question.

Because there is no construction team in the world with experience in building a thousand-meter skyscraper.

Nor is there any design team with experience in designing a thousand-meter skyscraper.

This is a huge challenge for people in all walks of life.

”Maria, contact your friend first. We should try to get in touch with her and see if she can provide a proposal that satisfies us.”

Shen Zhou immediately instructed.

He definitely didn’t want the thousand-meter skyscraper he was investing in to end up like the shoddy projects in a certain cow-worshipping country, collapsing shortly after completion.

Therefore, regardless of whether that person is Maria’s friend, he must find the most outstanding design team and personally vet a qualified construction team.

Of course, for the construction team, he still preferred a team from China.

After all, the title of ”Infrastructure Maniac” wasn’t earned for nothing.

Whether considering efficiency or construction quality, Chinese construction teams are world-class.

”Alright, Boss, I guarantee that she will come here in person to meet you.”

That night, Shen Zhou returned home to sleep, while Maria stayed in her room, working through the night to contact her architect friend.

As a result, in less than three days, that well-known designer from Europe and America arrived for a visit with a preliminary design proposal.

”Mr. Shen, you can just call me Orphina. This booklet contains some of the buildings I have designed in the past; please take a look.”

The female designer, Orphina, very respectfully handed a booklet to Shen Zhou with both hands.

Shen Zhou flipped through the booklet casually and saw some buildings on it that even he was familiar with, so he nodded slightly.

Of course, since the building to be constructed this time is one of a kind in the world, Orphina’s previous design plans and achievements actually had little reference value.

The booklet before him only served to ensure that Orphina had the qualifications to enter the design bidding process.

Shen Zhou set the booklet aside and said calmly:

”Since you are Maria’s friend, I will get straight to the point.”

”I need to build a thousand-meter skyscraper on my private island.”

”And this skyscraper is a gift for my fiancée, Gudisha.”

”So I will also name the building Gudisha.”

”And I hope that, while ensuring the building’s safety, you can incorporate some design features that women like into the design elements.”

Hearing this, even though Orphina already knew the initial intention of the building’s design, she was still shocked.

”Mr. Shen, your starting point is shocking, and I can also feel your boldness from it.”

”However, as a professional, I need to clarify the facts for you in advance.”

”First of all, the thousand-meter skyscraper you wish to build has never appeared in any corner of the world.”

”The difficulty in designing this building goes without saying. Designing it and ensuring that it does not collapse within a few decades is the most important point.”

”The initial draft of the design plan is already very difficult to complete; if you want to add some special elements that women like, it will be even harder.”

Orphina couldn’t help but shrug.

She naturally very much hoped to take on Shen Zhou’s project.

But if she took it on and was unable to successfully complete the project and maintain its subsequent safety,

then her company’s reputation would be completely ruined.

”Rest assured, I am not the type of person to make unreasonable demands.”

”Your professionalism is indeed good, but whether you can obtain the right to participate in the project is not yet known.”

Shen Zhou said indifferently.
