Football giants

Chapter 245 The most dazzling Chinese style
Nicola Cortes, as usual, came to St. Mary's Stadium half an hour earlier than the working time.

But as soon as he came to St. Mary's Stadium, he was a little dumbfounded.

There was a long queue in front of the ticket office, probably over a thousand people were waiting for the ticket office to open.

"what happened?"

Nicola Cortes murmured in surprise.

He drove to the parking lot of St. Mary's Stadium, got out of the car, and went straight to the ticket office.

"Mr.president!"

As soon as the staff at the ticket office saw Nicola Cortez, they immediately greeted him politely.

"What's going on? There are so many fans outside?" Nicola Cortes asked.

In the past few days, the team sold three generals, but it must not be to anger the fans and come to make trouble.

"Mr. Chairman, they...they are all here to buy season tickets."

"What?" Nicola Cortez was a little taken aback.

These people are here to buy tickets.

But wait, there are no tickets for Southampton right now!

"How many season tickets do we have on hand right now?"

"Less than two hundred tickets." The person in the ticket office replied with a wry smile.

There was a lot of hype in the media before, saying that Southampton's season ticket sales were bad, but in fact that was their speculation.

Southampton's season ticket sales have started long before.

Before the end of last season, more than half of the team's season tickets for the new season have already been sold.

Up to now, they are basically sold out, and there are only some unsellable tickets left for the visiting team, as well as mobile tickets.

"There are at least a thousand people outside, but there are less than two hundred season tickets left, how can they be sold?
Fans who can't buy season tickets at that time, why don't they drown in their saliva?

"Mr. Chairman, what should we do now?" The person in the ticket sales department asked with a bitter face.

If the ticket sales are not good, they suffer; if the sales are too good, they are still suffering.

Nicola Cortes was also uncertain, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Anyway, open the door first, and sell the rest."

After hearing this, the staff felt that it could only be done in this way.

So one by one started to get busy.

Nicola Cortez's face turned into a bitter gourd, and he picked up his mobile phone and called out.

"Master Huan, it's me, Nicholas, our season tickets are sold out now, but the fans are still waiting to buy tickets, what should we do?"

"What? Sell the next season? Not enough to sell the next season?"

Nicola Cortez is crying, will the fans agree?
Season tickets booked a year or two in advance?

But soon, he started to have another headache.

That's how to appease this group of Southampton fans who can't buy season tickets.

…………

At this time, Yang Huan was standing at the forefront of the Southampton Ferry Terminal.

On the left is the Itchin River, on the right is the Teste River.

The two rivers meet here and form the Solent, which flows into the English Channel.

It is hot summer, and there are many yachts and passenger ships going back and forth on the river and sea, which is very lively.

Standing at the front of the ferry terminal with Yang Huan were Huang Ying and Norman Foster from London.

And behind them, there are a dozen people measuring, calculating and discussing.

After a long investigation before, Norman Foster has been confirmed.

At the confluence of two rivers, Southampton could build a football stadium and a hotel.

At the same time, I also made renderings according to my own creativity and ideas.

Yang Huan is now looking at these renderings on the tablet.

"This is the rendering of the football field." Huang Ying was next to Yang Huan, introducing the pictures on the tablet.

Yang Huan turned his head to the side and saw her face at a close distance. It was rosy, but the skin was fine, so he couldn't help smiling.

"What are you laughing at? Pay attention to the picture!" Huang Ying glared at him angrily.

There are so many people watching, and the teacher Norman Foster is also there, be serious.

Yang Huan immediately curled his lips and put on a very serious look.

"Tell me about the idea."

Huang Ying hummed, stretched out her little finger, and swipe on the tablet to go to the next picture.

"According to what you said before, the whole design should be able to reflect the traditional Chinese flavor while adding some modern elements."

Yang Huan nodded, this is indeed his request.

"So I was thinking, when it comes to China, what is the first thing that comes to mind?"

Yang Huan looked at the renderings and thought about it seriously, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Dragon, a giant Chinese dragon!" Huang Ying gave him a slightly smug look with an expression that she knew you couldn't guess.

Yang Huan nodded again, "Continue."

"To build a stadium here, you have to reclaim the sea to build an artificial island. I imagine this is a dragon, and the dragon will give birth to nine sons. There will be nine small artificial islands on the periphery, providing a series of supporting commercial facilities such as catering, retail stores, and membership service centers."

In other words, in addition to the main island where the new stadium is located, there are also nine small artificial islands.

"There is a saying in China, five-clawed golden dragon, five claws represent a giant dragon, and coincidentally, a five-pointed star also has five points, and this implies that the road on the main island where the stadium is located is in the shape of a five-pointed star, with an underground parking lot underneath."

Yang Huan looked at it, this road really has the meaning of the dragon's claw.

interesting.

"Go on." He said with a smile.

"The stadium is a giant dragon, a mighty oriental dragon that roars upwards and rises powerfully across the world!"

Yang Huan heard what she said, and then looked at the renderings, it seemed that he really had such a feeling.

This rendering is really shocking, very sci-fi, and the whole stadium is very beautiful.

"There are only two roads to enter and exit the artificial island where the stadium is located, one leads to the submarine hotel and the other leads to the urban area."

Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded, this idea is indeed very good.

"This is the concept of an undersea hotel, which comes from the mythical Dragon Palace."

Huang Ying pointed to the renderings and introduced.

"In the middle is the Coiling Dragon Pillar, which is also the key to the entire hotel. It is inserted vertically deep into the ground!"

Yang Huan understood. He pointed to the five spaceship-like disc buildings floating on the surface of the rendering, which looked very sci-fi. "Is this a UFO?"

When Huang Ying heard this, she burst out laughing.

UFO?dragon?Thank you for thinking it out!

"This idea comes from the claws of the five-clawed golden dragon, and the middle part is a bit like the roaring open mouth of a giant dragon."

After all, we are still playing with creativity, which is the same as the design of the stadium just now.

"Surrounding this coiled dragon column, there are nine floors in total, which means the nine sons of the dragon. Each floor is five meters. In addition to the elevator that descends vertically, there is also a winding dragon-shaped ladder connected in series."

In the design, whether it is the climbing ladder or the elevator, you can enjoy the surrounding sea view, which is very dreamy.

And each floor has different functions, such as restaurants, meeting rooms and so on.

The building area on the bottom floor is larger than the one floating on the sea, and it still adopts this very sci-fi architectural style of irregular disc flying saucer with ups and downs. There are more than 200 glass suites in total, as well as other various luxury hotel facilities.

At first glance, the design of the hotel revolves around the Panlong Column, but due to the necessity of load-bearing, several UFO-shaped buildings also need a load-bearing column to support them.

But no matter what, judging from the renderings, the whole building is still very dreamy.

Especially the more than 200 sea view suites under the sea are simply beautiful!

"It's interesting!" Yang Huan looked at the renderings and was very satisfied.

Norman Foster is a national treasure-level architectural design master after all, and the things he puts out are different.

There is an indescribable smell everywhere.

"Norman, if you don't win an award for these two designs, it's really hard to justify!"

Even Yang Huan was thinking, if he could win the Pulitzer Prize for Architecture, he would be awesome.

It is best to set off the most dazzling Chinese style in the construction industry all over the world!

Directly lead the trend of the entire construction industry.

Facing Yang Huan's praise, Norman Foster stretched out his hand to grab his bald head, and smiled.

"In this, Huang Ying also contributed a lot. She has a lot of novel ideas. From her, I see the future of Chinese architectural design, a potential that combines traditional Chinese characteristics and can carry it forward!"

Yang Huan really did not expect that Norman Foster would give Huang Ying such a high evaluation.

This made him involuntarily look at Huang Ying more.

That's right, I have to look more quickly, if I really become famous in the future, I won't be able to see it.

Huang Ying was praised by Norman Foster, a little shy and a little happy.

She looked at Yang Huan, wanting to see how this guy felt.

But what she saw was a pair of playful eyes, which immediately made her stare back viciously.

Damn, before you become famous, you already have guts, dare to stare at me?

If he became famous, wouldn't he rebel against the heavens?
"By the way, Norman, we plan to invite you to design all ten of our stores next year."

Norman Foster nodded with a smile, "Okay, Huang Ying will be in charge."

"Me?" Huang Ying was a little surprised.

"I can't do it, I don't have the strength yet, and..."

Norman Foster didn't let her continue, "I saw the Wangjiang Pavilion main store you designed, believe me, you have this kind of strength, besides, this is also a kind of exercise for you."

Huang Ying looked at Yang Huan again, those talking eyes seemed to be asking, could it be your idea?

Yang Huan immediately called Tian Qu, I didn't say anything, how could it be possible?
Norman Foster is also a fine person, and he has already seen Huang Ying's thoughts.

In doing so, he still had the idea of ​​cultivating her to some extent.

Firstly, it was because of her talent and ability, and secondly, it was somewhat because of Yang Huan.

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to Stapletwood and see the virtual helmet!"

Yang Huan felt that it was useless to stay at the scene, so he simply left.

Anyway, Norman Foster handed over the investigation and research to his team.

Immediately, the three of them drove to Stapletwood.

Norman Foster felt the charm of a virtual helmet on the spot, and was immediately shocked.

"God, this... If this is used in architectural design, how much design cost can be saved?"

Huang Ying also felt it, and was also dumbfounded.

So real!

If you really have it, the design will no longer be some vague graphics and data.

Instead, it appears vividly in front of you.

It is clear at a glance what places need to be modified and where to modify and adjust.

Even, many mistakes and disadvantages can be solved in advance in the design process.

"Master Huan, you have to give me one set, no, ten sets, I want to buy ten sets!" Norman Foster became anxious on the spot.

He knows the value of this stuff better than anyone else.

Yang Huan laughed on the spot, "Don't be ridiculous, I'm the only one who does it myself, you want ten sets? How can I give it to you?"

Norman Foster smiled wryly, knowing that he was impatient.

"However, we are currently poaching and recruiting aggressively, non-stop preparing for the second-generation product, which is the real mass-produced product, and I will give you one or two sets when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll use it to design the new stadium and hotel, and make the world's first building designed with virtual reality technology."

Yang Huan laughed after hearing this.

Grab a world number one, and it seems to be pretty good.

Good things come in pairs.

When Yang Huan and Norman Foster were discussing how to apply virtual reality technology in the field of architectural design in Southampton, they claimed to be the best at negotiating in the Southampton team. They represented Yang Huan's number one follower, Sun Yue, but picked up a national player for Yang Huan in the north.

Now Southampton's lineup for the new season is complete.

　Thanks to [I love lychee], [Blue is still] and [Lu Yanzhi] three book friends for their monthly tickets!
