Chapter 75 Discussion
“I have been resting all day, it’s time for me to walk around now.”
I served the coffee to him.
He took a sip of the coffee and placed it on the table. Then, he continued to look at the design papers and sketches on the table.
This should be the design of Lawrence, seeing his eyebrows knitting together I knew that he was not happy with his design. I took a look, it was a classy and elegant design.
But there’s still room for improvement. Laurence is a top designer; all his design is classy and high class. This project is designed for high-class mansions and apartments, but this is also a project for the people’s well-being. It should have a balance point between normal people and wealthy people.
In Lawrence’s design, I could only see the part for the high-class. If Lance uses this design for the project, the whole project would end up to be only for the wealthy person.
This wasn’t what Lance wanted, obviously,
Lance tilted his head up, he looked into my eyes and he smiled lightly, “Come and help me observe this design.“
He has been smiling at me more recently, his attitude was totally different compared to before. I am the woman who took a bullet for him, of course he should be treating me better.
“Is this from Lawrence?” I asked even though I already knew.
Lance took a sip of the coffee and said, “Lawrence’s design has been getting weaker now, there is no soul in his design. He never draws out what I want!”
Lance was thinking about hiring a foreign designer, he didn’t have much time left to keep modifying the design.
“Maybe this isn’t the same style of designs he always do, I have seen his designs before, his style of designs is more high standard and for high-class people. This is a project for the people’s well-being. If we think about the profit in future, I think we can deduct a bit from the high-class part, we just need to build a few high-class mansion around the lake and maybe a few fine dining. As for the route, we can build a subway station beside the road, and all the subway station can connect to some shopping mall. This should be fine. We can also have a small park not far away from the shopping mall. And besides the park, we can build some normal residences that are closer to school.”
When I finished speaking and looked at Lance, he didn’t seem to agree to my opinion.
These ideas had come across my mind before, but Lance never ask me so I won’t just simply give out my opinion.
It would just make me look like I was highly interested in this project. This would definitely make Lance suspicious.
“It’s a good idea, but the design won’t be suitable.” He said.
“I have been living in this country for many years, I think if we put ourselves in the shoes of the local, they won’t want a place that has a big difference between both residences and malls. Their consuming ability is still not that high, the people in this country, according to recent economy situation here, unlike in Denmark, they won’t buy something good for themselves even though they have the ability to do so, they are more into things that are cheaper. I think we should think of the consuming ability of the people when we design.”
Was I giving too much opinion? I was hoping that Lance would let me get involved in the project as soon as possible.
“Why are you apologizing? You are helping me. Many designers don’t include the local situation while designing, they just stick to their style as always. You are right, this place isn’t like Denmark, the GDP of Denmark is far higher than California. We should really consider the consuming ability of the local because after all, we are a businessman. We still want to sell the houses and products. If no one wants to purchase due to high prices, this project is going to fail, all the funds will be gone and all the hard-work will be nothing.”
“I heard that there is a groundwater artery not far away, it is linked to a river. If we can connect it to the river, the running water will be able to flow into the lake then.”
“I will ask my men to go check it out, if the groundwater can work for us, we can use this idea. But we still need to solve some minor problems.” Lance said.
