Hearing this, Elaine couldn’t help exclaiming: “Oh my! A design cost of 800 to 1,000 per square meter, wouldn’t it cost 50 or 60 million? This is too big!”
Claire smiled and said, “What’s so big about this? Some internationally renowned designers have to charge hundreds of millions for the exterior design of a building!”
Elaine touched her chest and hurriedly asked her: “Good girl, are you planning to take this project?”
Claire said earnestly: “Of course I want to take it, but my studio is not that big at the moment. When taking on such a project, I am afraid that it will not be able to compete with the opponent when bidding, and there is too much preparatory work. If you do, you have to put your heart and soul into it now and prepare for bidding…”
With that, Claire couldn’t help sighing again, and said, “Hey, the scale of the company is still quite large After that. I am afraid I can’t digest such a large project.”
Elaine asked in surprise: “Isn’t design just about moving the computer? What can’t be digested?”
Claire said: “It’s not as simple as you think. With a business area of more than 100,000 square meters, there are more than a dozen room types that require a whole house design, several restaurants of various types, and leisure and entertainment. The overall design volume is very large for the part, the administrative office part and the security, and fire protection planning.”
“It’s like making an animated film. The ordinary people think that it’s just to find a group of people to draw? But in fact, one-second picture requires 20 pictures, one and a half hour’s animated film, at least Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of pictures, require hundreds of people to do a good job for several years.”
With that, Claire said again: “Our studio has not many people. Even if we can follow such a big project, we can’t finish it by ourselves. We have to subcontract to other design studios to do it together. Ten designers, it took more than half a year to finish…”
“And this is only the first stage. When the construction starts, we have to follow up the whole process. The construction period is at least one year, so the overall follow-up will take one and a half years.”
“Dozens of designers, within a year and a half, the annual salary of a good designer is hundreds of thousands more, and the average salary is at least 200,000, so the salary cost alone has to be tens of millions!”
Elaine blurted out in surprise: “My God! The salary alone is tens of millions? Is this too cruel?”
Claire said earnestly: “This is the way it is done originally. I am still conservatively estimating. If the construction period is longer and the plan is revised more, the overall time cost and labor cost will increase.”
Charlie on the side asked curiously: “My wife, what are you going to do? Do you want to fight for it?”
Claire nodded and said, “Although the strength of my studio is not strong, I still want to try it out. If I can take this project down, I can merge it with it while working on it. A few small design teams, in that case, when this project is completed, my studio will be able to improve at least two orders of magnitude and reach a medium-sized scale!”
After that, she said with some worry: “However, my studio is really small. There are so many companies bidding this time, so I really don’t know for sure.”
Charlie smiled and said: “My wife, if you are interested, just don’t let it go. If it is done, it will be an excellent opportunity. If it is not done, we will have no actual loss. It is nothing more than a waste of energy. What do you think?”
“Yes…” Claire nodded lightly and said: “I just want to try hard, so starting from today, I will lead the team to work overtime and make proposals, make bids, and make preparations. This bidding!”
With that, she said with some emotion: “But I heard that many design companies are looking for relationships with people everywhere in order to get this big order, and there are even people who want to give money and kickbacks to the senior executives of the Emgrand Group. I don’t know. Will the Emgrand Group engage in black-box operations at that time…”
Charlie smiled and said: “How can a large group like the Emgrand Group with a market value of over 100 billion engage in black-box operations on tens of millions of design projects?”
