Text Chapter 1202: Draft Competition · Before

This time, the remaining five companies that came to Sky Games to fight for the final fight, two of which are the San Francisco branch of the well-known American design company Som Architectural Design Company, and the San Francisco branch of the American SmithGroup design and construction company. These two companies can be said to be the top two companies among American architectural design companies.

The rest are not unknown, one of which is Frank Gehry's design company team. In the end, if it wins, as the chief designer, Frank Gehry will personally participate. This is what Zhou Jiexi values. Frank participated in and gave advice on the design given by their design company.

It's just that the executive designer is his student, which Sky Games doesn't trust. The same is true for Zhou Jiexi, the company is not short of money, of course it needs a well-known designer to do it. So although he actually liked Frank Gehry's company philosophy, but he couldn't bear the face, and his company fell to the back instead.

SmithGroup is different. It is one of the largest and oldest law firms in the United States, providing complete professional services including planning, design, consulting and management. For Zhou Jiexi, who likes simplicity and no hassle, this design firm really suits his tastes. In addition, they are well-known, so it's decent to choose them.

Another point is that SmithGroup is good at handling large and complex projects and creating imaginative spaces. When looking at the information, Zhou Jiexi valued this company one more thing.

This is mainly due to its good coordination with landscape architects, developers, engineering managers and engineers of various types of work, and its ability to combine its excellent design traditions with local culture.

Putting culture aside, the design headquarters that Zhou Jiexi wants is connected to Tom Cat International. To be honest, Tom Cat has no money now, so Sky Games will pay you back if you have money.

Of course, Tom Cat is not without money. He just brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, so how could he have no money. It's just that the money can't be spent on building the headquarters. The important thing now is to promote Tom Cat and then increase its number of users.

headquarters? Wait until it's on the market to think about it.

According to Zhou Jiexi's idea, it's listed? It's almost none of his business to go public. With the money exchanged for 70% to 80% of the shares, he would have been able to jump out of the accidental pit of Tom Cat long ago.

When the time comes, how much headquarters Tom Cat wants to build, let the board of directors discuss it slowly. He didn't bother to care about that matter anymore, now that Tom Cat was still in his hands, although he didn't kiss his godson anymore, he was still his son after all. It can't be too ugly, isn't it.

The SmithGroup company is still a bit awesome. He has served famous organizations such as the US Federal Government, Ford Motor Company, NBC Broadcasting Company, Northwest Airlines, and Disneyland.

What's more, this company has many designers of Chinese descent, among them, Ms. Xiao Wen, Ms. Zhou Jiexi, is very valued, and this time her works are also included. Its main works include: Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Historical Museum, Washington D.C. U.S. Government Office Building Reconstruction, U.S. National Children’s Health and Development Center, U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, China Overseas Municipal Power Company Headquarters, China Overseas Pudong Development Bank, Huasheng. Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice in Dunton, the main planning of Kangzhou New Jiefang Road, the main planning of Pujiang Forest Peninsula, etc.

Compared with those designers who are full of imagination and creativity, she focuses on simplicity and stability. Of course, Jiexi Zhou didn’t really need these things. Seeing that she was a Chinese, Jiexi Zhou gave her some face and valued it so that she would be less subject to the American office ceiling rules.

There is also the SOM architectural design firm mentioned earlier, this firm is actually very good. But the style is a bit different from what Jessie Zhou needs. Considering that he was famous enough, Zhou Jiexi gave him a chance.

Founded in 1939, it is one of the largest architectural firms in the United States. It enjoys a high reputation in the world and its design projects are all over the world, including Hancock Tower in Chicago, Sears Tower, Pacific Bell in Silicon Valley, ElectronicArts, China Overseas Jinmao Building, Capital Industrial and Commercial Bank Headquarters, Xiangjiang

International Conference Center, etc.

Classic modernist architecture, its world-class status in the design of large buildings, high-rise and super high-rise buildings is unmatched! For a long time, SOM's participation has long been a guarantee of project quality!

Well, another point that Zhou Jiexi has to admit is that the design of the face has been done by Tianchao, which means that there are still a few brushes. Please come over for the pitch competition, which is also the result he wants.

The other one worked for Baojia Architectural Design Company in Canada, and he was a well-known partner before. It's just that I came out to do it on my own. Now that I know Zhou Jiexi's project, of course I really want to take it.

But his weaknesses are obvious, poor coordination. Whether he can coordinate well with his engineering brother team in the United States is a question worth thinking about. If it wasn't for the fact that the design draft was indeed in line with Zhou Jiexi's taste, he would not have wanted this person.

He is much weaker than Frank Gehry. He is at least a well-known designer. He has been in the United States for so many years and has a good network of contacts. It is relatively easy to coordinate well.

Zhou Jiexi entered the company, and Andy was already waiting for him. It should be said that, except for those who are busy, almost all other company executives have arrived. The staff of the construction office established for the construction of the new headquarters has also arrived at this time. It was held by one of the senior executives of the original company, and this is a department that will be in contact with the design and construction parties in the future.

It is also important to say that the company's headquarters will be the face of the company in the future. If we still follow the old model, there will be a lot of skipping rules, IT companies, people have to have a new look, this can't be done, then the core of the written innovation!

"Boss, welcome!" Andy said to Zhou Jiexi on the way.

"The third round will start with more drafts?" Zhou Jiexi asked after nodding.

"One hour and twenty minutes, but two companies have already come to the venue. They are all preparing, PPT, speeches, and adapting to the venue, so as to better display their eloquence." Andy said to him.

"Ah That's good."

Seeing Zhou Jiexi's appearance, Andy couldn't help asking: "Boss, if you want, you can go and see their preparations now!"

He was full of joy and thought that Zhou Jiexi would like it, but he said: "There is a saying in our dynasty called spoilers to kill the whole family. But because this curse will affect many innocent people. So it was changed to be gentler later. That's a spoiler if you don't mention it!"

"Ah..." Andy stayed.
