70 billion yuan to build the tallest building in China. Who is he?

When Li Hongzhang visited the United States in the late Qing Dynasty, he was shocked by 20 tall buildings. He hopes that China can also build tall buildings. Since 1980s, China has been researching and developing infrastructure artifacts for building. Today, China's first "aerial building machine" has been successfully launched, and China people's enthusiasm for skyscrapers has not diminished.

Pan Sutong, 1963, a native of Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, lived with his grandmother when he was a child. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, his grandmother died of illness, and he was raised by his stepgrandmother in the United States. However, Pan Sutong is not a contented person. He dropped out of school when he was in middle school in America, and idled around all day. In the 1980s, Pan Sutong returned to China and worked as a driver for an official. There are indications that Pan Sutong's next life must be mediocre, but his ascent has just begun.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, in the 1980s, smart Cantonese went to the sea to do business, and Pan Sutong was no exception. After working hard in Hong Kong for several years, he successfully founded an electrical appliance company-Songri Group in 1993. However, Pan Sutong, who has been worth over 100 million yuan, is very low-key, and there are almost no news reports about him in the society. Until September 3, 2008, Pan Sutong changed its company name to "Yin Gao Real Estate Holdings Co., Ltd." and invested 70 billion yuan to build the "Yin Gao Finance 1 17" skyscraper about 600 meters high in Tianjin.

1 17 The name of the building is exquisite. Li Huawu, an architect from Bamadana Group, holds a master's degree in Swiss architecture. Before designing this high-rise building, he had studied the culture of China. In his design, he combined China's traditional culture with modern aesthetics, applied the wisdom of the Book of Changes, adopted the theory that negative yin embraces yang (odd number is yang, even number is yin), and took the number 7 representing "shaoyang" as the fundamental principle of architectural design. Finally, Li Hua's military commander 1 17 is designated as 1 17, with a height of 597 meters.

However, the construction process of building 1 17 is tortuous and long, because this high-rise building, which started construction in 2008, was not put into use until today. It is reported that the basement of building 1 17 took four years to complete, and the construction of the main tower began on 20 12, while the construction of the main tower took three years, and the tower structure was not announced until 20 15.

In fact, building 1 17 can't be handed over even if it is capped, because the glass curtain wall installation of the building has not been completed, and no one is willing to pay. Nowadays, there are more and more skyscrapers in China. While people are happy, they should also reflect on the problems brought about by the construction of skyscrapers. Everything has two sides. Skyscrapers can be showy capital or a burden to city operators. what do you think?
