Chapter 238 This time the target is in Europe

To little Laura's surprise, it was Abel who found the designer for "Flower of Lauren".

It's a little-known female designer named Zaha Hadid.

This female designer named Zaha Hadid has a private studio and is about fifty years old.

In an estate with 81 acres of land that has not yet been demolished.

Little Laura watched Abel discuss with each other.

"Oh my god, Mr. Smith, according to your plan, the high-energy cement and steel bars required will be an astronomical figure."

"It may not be possible to build a skyscraper without using so much steel and cement."

The speaker is architect Zaha Hadid.

Zaha Hadid in 2001 now.

Her fame is not that great yet. She has not yet been dubbed the "Devil of Architectural Design".

At this time, Zaha Hadid was just a well-known but controversial designer in the architectural design world.

As of 2001, she had only handled four designs.

One is a fire station in the town of Weil on the Rhine River in Germany.

There is also the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, USA.

A parking lot in Strasbourg, France.

and a ski resort in Innsbruck, Austria.

These places and buildings are not well-known just by looking at their names.

They are only known in the industry for their outrageous designs and extremely exaggerated construction difficulties.

But as long as ordinary people have seen these buildings, after seeing their appearance.

A literate person may use some poetry or even come up with a prose to praise them.

Illiterate, or people with straightforward personalities like Anne Hathaway.

Saw these buildings designed by Zaha Hadid.

Anyone who speaks Chinese would probably just say "fuck".

If you speak English, it’s probably “fxxk”.

As a master of deconstruction of modern architecture, the designs she handles are all outrageous and graceful in terms of lines.

In terms of construction difficulty and construction cost, it will without exception make the relevant civil engineering dogs scream Fake.

Little Laura doesn't understand this.

She is a smart girl, she knows Zaha Hadid even if she doesn't know it.

But Abel can find Zaha Hadid, so there must be his reasons.

Little Laura didn't chatter like other women, or ask questions curiously.

She just smiled and listened to the conversation between Abel and Zaha Hadid.

Even if little Laura has dissatisfaction or doubts in her heart, she will only do it at the right time.

Or if there are only two people, then bring it up to Abel appropriately.

Little Laura heard Abel say to Zaha Hadid:

"I know all what you said. Ms. Hadid, what I originally wanted was a unique house that could not be found in the world. I also knew that the cost of making it happen would be extremely exaggerated. I have already been mentally prepared for this.

Just tell me if you can design it."

"sure."

Zaha Hadid barely even thought about it.

"There are solutions to your request in civil engineering and construction."

Zaha Hadid drew a small hill in the middle of the 81-acre land on a simple piece of paper.

Zaha made a circle around the hill, and then said: "The area at the top of this small hill is about two hundred and fifty square meters."

"The circle I made is about four thousand square meters."

"According to your idea, Mr. Smith, we can fill this circle with reinforced concrete and build it up to the level of the hill."

"That way, you will get a man-made platform of more than 4,000 square meters."

Abel looked at Zaha Hadid's sketch and found that the circle basically surrounded the entire hill from the foot of the hill.

In other words, if you really want to pile them up, you have to pile them from the foot of the hill to the top of the hill.

Use steel, cement, and countless building materials.

The cost involved does not require much architectural knowledge, and ordinary people would find it very exaggerated if they think about it.

But Abel had other considerations. He smiled and said, "Give me a design drawing and a project cost calculation."

Zaha Hadid nodded: "No problem. But even if you don't adopt it, my studio will still charge money."

"Of course." Abel smiled and said, "It won't be a penny less."

Zaha Hadid then smiled and said, "Then my studio and I will be happy to serve you."

Zaha Hadid was sent away.

After she left, little Laura said softly:

"This Ms. Zaha Hadid, I have never heard of her name."

Abel knew what little Laura meant, and he had been prepared for it.

"Edward," Abel called.

Edward came over immediately, holding a portfolio in his hand.

Abel took the portfolio from Edward and gave it to little Laura.

"Here are four pieces designed by Zaha Hadid, some photos of them."

Little Laura took it curiously, not knowing what Abel meant.

But when she and Abel took the boat, halfway back to Manhattan.

Little Laura understood what Abel meant.

Because these works designed by Zaha Hadid, they look so beautiful, so artistic, and so design-forward.

Everything that fell into little Laura's eyes made her marvel.

When the two came ashore, little Laura mentally agreed with Zaha Hadid as the designer of her and Abel's future love nest.

I stayed with little Laura all day.

The next day is Monday.

daytime.

Little Laura went to class.

Anne Hathaway filmed a night scene the day before yesterday. While Abel and little Lauren went out to play yesterday, Anne spent the day catching up on her sleep at home.

Little Laura is going to school today.

Anne is also going to Queens to film a movie.

Abel had time to spare, thinking that he had not cut leeks for almost a month.

The leeks on the international market have been recuperating for a month.

It's also fat enough to be harvested.

At noon, he arrived at the Smith Building where Smith Capital is located.

Upon arriving at the company, he went directly to CEO David Mellon.

"Gather a hundred of the most energetic traders." Abel said:

"Just tell them that the king of the Smith Kingdom is going to lead his knights to the battlefield again."

"Oh~YES!" David raised his hands and jumped very high, looking very excited.

David went out to gather people, and Abel waited in the office for about ten minutes.

David came in excitedly and informed him that everything was ready.

This was so fast that the employees of Smith Capital probably gathered together as soon as they heard the summons order.

Abel came outside immediately.

"Knights! Your king is about to lead you to fight in the territory of money and lead you to dominate the world of capital!"

David Mellon stood on the high platform and began his very ordinary speech again.
