Chapter 318: luxury toys

Li Xuan still maintains his usual style. After releasing a big news, he habitually avoids interviews from various media. ¥℉ is small, to say that the two most talked about skyscrapers in Hong Kong before are nothing more than the fourth-generation HSBC Building and the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong.

The former started construction in 1981. HSBC invited Mr. Foster, the co-founder of Norman Foster, one of the most famous British architects, to personally design the fourth-generation headquarters building for it. And the wealthy HSBC has prepared $1 billion to build the most expensive building in the world.

The Hong Kong Bank of China Corporation has just acquired the Murray Building site from the Hong Kong government last year, and is preparing to build a new skyscraper as its headquarters in Hong Kong. Of course, BOC Hong Kong cannot be as lavish as HSBC, and only gave a construction budget of 130 million US dollars. But they invited the world's most outstanding Chinese architect, Mr. Pei, to be responsible for the design of the building.

HSBC is the well-deserved leader of all British-funded consortiums in Hong Kong, and is known as the company that truly grasps the lifeblood of Hong Kong. And BOC Hong Kong is the leader among the four major Chinese-funded companies in Hong Kong. Now it coincides with the secret wrestling between China and the UK over the Hong Kong issue.

Therefore, the design and construction of these two skyscrapers are also endowed with special political significance, completely stealing the limelight from other buildings under construction. And now the Oriental Building suddenly burst out, attracting the attention of the whole of Hong Kong at once, and it seems that there is a tendency to turn the rivalry between the two powers into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"President Xu, you are very kind. Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. has never wavered in its optimistic view of Hong Kong's future prospects. The Dongfang Building project this time is just a normal investment within the group taking advantage of the low land prices in Hong Kong!"

Li Xuan hung up the phone with a playful smile on his face. Just now, Xu Jiachun, the new director of the Hong Kong Xinhua branch, called. Thank him for his unwavering vote of confidence in Hong Kong's future at a critical moment. I just don't know how much President Xu's full affection for him will remain after knowing Li Xuan's next move.

Li Xuan continued to browse the unread files just now. Among the top ten architect firms in the world, six have already expressed their willingness to participate in the competition for the design of the Oriental Building. This made Li Xuan proud. Although the budget for the construction of the Oriental Building was only US$300 million, it was much less than the US$1 billion for the HSBC Building. However, the area of ​​the Oriental Building is also much smaller than that of the HSBC Building, so the budget given by Li Xuan is by no means low.

Of course, these companies are only giving bidding intentions now, and the real design will not be finalized until a year later. This period of time can be used to dismantle the old site of the Central Fire Station. It is said that some cultural relics experts believe that the old site of the Central Fire Station has great historical value. It is hoped that the Hong Kong government can keep it intact and carry out demolition and reconstruction in different places.

If the Hong Kong government agrees to this proposal, the demolition of the old fire station building will be much more troublesome. Of course, these matters do not need the big boss Li Xuan to be a headache, and there will be special responsible personnel to negotiate and coordinate with the Hong Kong government.

"Is everything packed?" Li Xuan asked tenderly, looking at his wife whose belly was slightly bulging.

"I've already helped the second sister-in-law tidy up!" Li Ying, the little sister on the side, hurriedly said, showing a look of complimenting me.

"My A Ying is still the most considerate, your second sister-in-law didn't hurt you in vain!" Li Xuan said it without paying any money.

"Hmm! Second brother, when are we going?" Li Ying was actually an 18-year-old girl. But in front of his brother, he still showed the appearance of a little daughter, and his big eyes narrowed into two crescent crescents when he smiled.

"Since everything is ready, let's go and say goodbye to my parents and elder brother. Let's go now!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Soon. The Li family's family left their home in Taipingshan in a black Cadillac stretched sedan and drove to Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon. Not long ago, the Hong Kong media used a lot of coverage. The most luxurious private jet ever in Hong Kong.

That's right, Li Xuan booked the Boeing 747 converted private jet from Boeing a year and a half ago. It was finally delivered to him not long ago. But how luxurious this plane is, no one knows!

Li Xuan did not open the plane to reporters. The Boeing 747 is a wide-body airliner. After the modification, the interior space of the aircraft has reached an astonishing 450 square meters.

What concept is this? For Hong Kong people, a house over 1,000 square feet (100 square meters) can be called a big mansion. The space in Li Xuan's private plane is equivalent to four large mansions. The plane contains luxurious bedrooms, living rooms, conference rooms, dining rooms, and study rooms.

"Once you arrive in the United States, listen to your brother's words and don't make trouble!" Mother Li tirelessly told her little daughter, then turned to Li Xuan and said, "Ahong is pregnant, you have to take good care of her and learn to be more considerate. people!"

"I know, she is the number one national treasure in the family now, and her status is higher than mine!" Li Xuan embraced his wife's slender waist, and a funny remark made the whole family feel a little less sad about parting, "There are medical staff accompanying me on the plane. Assistant, there will be no problem. After we arrive in New York, we will immediately call home to report safety!"

Finally, Li Xuan took his sister and wife, left the p terminal under the watchful eyes of his parents and eldest brother, and disappeared into the boarding passage~www.readwn.com~ Although Li Ying was already with her family when the plane first arrived in Hong Kong They've seen the whole plane together, but she's still in high spirits now that she's on the plane. In fact, it wasn't just her, everyone on the plane was stunned by the luxurious decoration inside. Where is this on the plane, it's literally in a luxurious private villa!

Li Xuan casually sat on the spacious leather sofa in the living room, enjoying the freshly squeezed juice brought to him by the flight attendant. Well, what should have been a glass of wine for a moment of elegance, was replaced by his sister with a nondescript glass of watermelon juice. She also plausibly said that her second sister-in-law is pregnant, and your brother, who is a husband, consciously smokes and prohibits alcohol is the minimum responsibility.

Of course, Li Xuan's private jet can be called the most extravagant toy on this earth. His original budget was $50 million, and he added another $10 million. But the feeling of riding for the first time today made Li Xuan very satisfied, the money was worth it!

The direct flight from Hong Kong to New York takes a total of 20 hours. Before the Boeing 777 came out, it was impossible for ordinary civil aircraft to go directly, and it was necessary to land and refuel. However, Li Xuan's Boeing 747 has enlarged fuel tanks on the basis of the original passenger aircraft version, and it carries fewer passengers and has a much lighter take-off weight than the passenger aircraft, so it can fly non-stop from Hong Kong to New York.
