If he was working for someone else, Liang Qingfan would hope that his plan would be approved immediately without any changes.
As an architect, he had strong confidence in his plan. Of course, he did not want the client to criticize and destroy the beauty of his meticulous design.
However, Liang Qingfan could not wait for Boss Pei to make more requests.
That was because he felt that Boss Pei had the power to turn something rotten into something magical.
Even if Boss Pei's real expertise was in game design, business, and investment, and he did not have the corresponding architectural knowledge, it could be seen from a series of projects such as Thriller Hostel and Sloth Apartments that Boss Pei could see from a higher level that Liang Qingfan, an architect, could not.
Such a high-level perspective could often give Liang Qingfan some inspiration, allowing him to make greater progress.
Pei Qian flipped through it briefly and found that Liang Qingfan's plan was quite considerate: he only drew a sketch of the building's exterior and pointed out a few key areas in the building. He did not elaborate on the details of the internal structure.
Obviously, Pei Qian could not understand even if he marked out the details …
Liang Qingfan gave three different design plans, and all three plans had something in common.
For example: the main building was very tall, and the surrounding open space was designed with lawns and gardens for beautification.
The design of the building was very strong. Large amounts of glass walls and special scattered shapes looked very much in line with the tone of a high-tech company.
Entertainment space was reserved on every floor of the building, deeply implementing the Tengda spirit.
Considering the location of Tengda's headquarters, this building would definitely stand out after it was completed. It would be quite eye-catching and become a landmark nearby.
Pei Qian fell into silence after looking through the three plans.
How should he put it? Liang Qingfan had completed the task perfectly in all aspects.
No matter which plan he used, there would not be any sense of incongruity with Tengda's logo hanging on the building after it was completed. It would not be inferior to the headquarters of some other domestic tech giants.
However … this did not seem to meet Pei Qian's requirements at all!
For other companies, two points of the headquarters were the most important: one was the convenience of the function, and the other was the uniqueness of the design.
The headquarters integrated all departments together, which could make communication between departments more frequent and convenient, and improve the efficiency of employees.
There were restaurants, coffee bars, and various entertainment facilities in the building. On the one hand, it was to adjust the working conditions of the employees, and on the other hand, it was to make the employees work overtime.
The unique shape and grandeur of the building could show the company's strong financial resources to the outside world, giving employees a certain sense of belonging and pride when they went to work. This was also part of building a brand image.
In short, for those companies with strong financial resources, building a building has a lot of benefits.
However, to Pei Qian, he did not care about these benefits at all!
More frequent communication between the various departments?
Increase the efficiency of employees?
Let the employees work overtime?
Pei Qian did not want that to happen.
The only thing that satisfied Pei Qian was that every level had an entertainment area.
However, this method seemed a little rigid and old-fashioned. That was what Tengda was doing now. Other large internet companies were doing the same.
Tengda's employees were all experienced. A small entertainment area on the same floor could no longer tempt them.
He had to increase his strength!
Therefore, according to the standards of ordinary companies, Liang Qingfan's plans were not a problem.
However, to Boss Pei, it did not meet his requirements at all!
No matter how good the plan was, it would be useless if the needs and the plan were not in line.
Pei Qian did not give Liang Qingfan any rules and regulations before. He allowed him to use his imagination without any restrictions mainly because he did not want an outsider to guide an insider.
After all, the headquarters building was not profitable. It was not a big deal to let Liang Qingfan do as he pleased.
However, from the looks of it, Pei Qian still had to give him some pointers and not be lazy.
That was because Liang Qingfan's plan was from the perspective of an architect. Obviously, he did not really understand the actual use of the building.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "The plan is good, and the building's shape is not bad.
"However …
"It seems to be lacking a little bit of ingenuity."
Liang Qingfan was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy. "Boss Pei, how do you think we should change it?"
How could he have ingenuity just because he wanted to?
As an architect, Liang Qingfan felt that he had been very active and open when he designed these plans. However, after looking at the plan, it did not make people's eyes light up like Tengda's other businesses.
It could only be said that Boss Pei's ability to come up with good ideas was a kind of talent.
Ordinary people would not be able to do it.
Thus, Liang Qingfan stopped struggling and listened to what Boss Pei had to say seriously.
Pei Qian fell into deep thought again.
How should he change it …
To other companies, the building's functionality and symbolism were the first priority.
To Pei Qian, the building's functionality was also the first priority. However, the specific function should be completely opposite to that of other companies.
The effect of Tengda's headquarters should be to make communication between the various departments as inconvenient as possible, reduce the efficiency of employees, and reduce overtime as much as possible.
Of course, it was necessary to spend more money.
The problem was, how should he design this building to achieve these goals?
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, "How about this? I'll say a few key points first. Take note of them.
"These are the most basic requirements. Satisfy these points first, and then slowly consider the specific shape of the building.
"First, Tengda's headquarters should be flattened as much as possible and not developed higher."
Pei Qian thought about it very clearly. The higher the building, the more convenient it was for communication between departments. That was because it was very convenient to take an elevator between different departments.
However, if the building was flattened and expanded horizontally, the departments could only rely on transportation tools such as scooters to communicate. It would obviously be very inconvenient and naturally reduce the efficiency of communication.
Pei Qian would also try to assign some departments that were in contact to the farthest ends of the building. Want to work together? No problem, prepare to break your legs!
Although some departments were scattered in other parts of Jingzhou previously, they could take a taxi, which was relatively faster. If they were all in the headquarters building, they could not take a taxi. They could only walk. As long as the distance was far enough, it would become even more inconvenient.
In addition, flattening the building could also occupy as much land as possible.
If he built a building and changed the surrounding area into a green space or a garden, he might be able to use it to build other buildings in the future. However, if he spread out the entire area and occupied the entire piece of land, he would have to buy another piece of land if he wanted to expand in the future.
Wouldn't that cost more money?
Liang Qingfan quickly noted it down.
Indeed, Boss Pei's design thinking was different from mine from the beginning!
However, why did he have to flatten the building? Weren't all companies pursuing high-rise buildings and urban landmarks now?
Many companies even competed in height to build the tallest building in XX City.
Yet, Boss Pei was the opposite. He did not care about height at all?
He was indeed different!
Liang Qingfan could not figure out why Boss Pei wanted to flatten the building. Tengda was not selling pancakes. However, he did not have time to think about it now. He had to listen to all of Boss Pei's requests first and then combine them to analyze them.
Pei Qian continued. "Second, the games and entertainment area should not be scattered on each floor. Instead, it should be concentrated.
"Cut the entire building vertically and divide it into two large areas: a work area and an entertainment area.
"The entertainment area should also take up half of the building!
"In addition, we have to think of ways to increase the contact area between the work area and the entertainment area as much as possible so that it would be very convenient for employees to cross zones.
"Er, to be precise, it would be very convenient to go to the entertainment area, but it would not be convenient to return to the work area."
There would always be not enough space to divide a part of the entertainment area on a single floor.
That was because there were many large-scale entertainment projects that could not be settled on a simple floor.
On the other hand, the entire entertainment area could be integrated so that employees could play one project after another after entering. They could not stop at all and completely forget about going back to work.
In other words, there would be a stronger sense of immersion.
In fact, Pei Qian had wanted to create a twin tower, one purely for work and one purely for entertainment. That way, employees would immediately enter the ocean of happiness if they accidentally entered the entertainment building. It would be difficult for them to swim out.
However, on further thought, the connection between the two buildings was not close enough. It would not be convenient for employees to go to the entertainment building.
What if they felt that it was too troublesome and did not want to go to the entertainment building?
Therefore, he had to think of a way to increase the contact area between the work area and the entertainment area so that employees could easily pass through the entertainment area and forget to come back.
Liang Qingfan scratched his head, feeling that Boss Pei's request was a little abstract.
Increase the contact area?
How?
It was very convenient to go to the entertainment area, but it was not convenient to return to the work area?
Could it be that he had to make a one-way passage so that they could go directly to the entertainment area but had to take a detour to return to the work area?
It felt even more difficult to grasp the specific shape of the building.
However, he did not say anything and continued to take notes seriously.
Pei Qian continued. "Third, the building has to have many different entrances, each facing different parts of the building.
"One side of the entertainment area of the building has to face the subway station and the transportation hub. It would be more convenient to enter, but one side of the work area would have to take a detour.
"The underground parking lot …
"If you go to the entertainment area, you can go directly to the elevator.
"However, if you want to go directly to the work area, you have to go through an underground maze.
In other words, after parking the car in the underground parking lot, there were only two ways to go to the work area: either take the elevator and go through the entertainment area and endure all kinds of temptations, or walk through a maze in the underground parking lot and find the way to take the elevator to the work area.
