Chapter 1326: Chapter 1063: New Finance Budget

"Boss, the overall construction progress is still going according to plan.

The headquarters of major enterprises are designed by globally renowned design firms and created by the most famous designers.

Each building is distinctive with its own highlights.

As for the construction of the skyscrapers, we have engaged China Construction Group, the most powerful and the largest architectural company in China, to ensure the smooth advancement of the construction progress..."

Nova talked eloquently.

Wang Ye listened and nodded along, as with Russia’s formal entry into the world trade organization, this Central CBD District’s significance had become pronounced.

When he first prepared to engage in CBD development, there were some dissenting opinions below, believing that Moscow currently did not need so many skyscrapers, and building these buildings was purely Chairman Mikhail’s desire to create a "political achievement project," an act of hubris!

Wang Ye couldn’t be bothered to explain to those people; he could only say that sparrows do not understand the ambitions of a swan!

Perhaps many domestic enterprises in Russia like to operate in old buildings, as it appears more low-profile, especially since many enterprises are involved in "grey industries" and naturally prefer to keep a low profile.

But those top-500 world corporations from Europe and the United States don’t like to keep a low profile at all!

World-class companies, with money to spare, entering your new market, will want to make a "striking first impression," leasing or purchasing the best-located and most superior office buildings!

Hiring the best local personnel, offering the most generous salary packages!

Only thus can they showcase the strength of their companies...

So now that Russia has formally joined the world, this Central CBD District is indeed timely; once it’s built, whether for self-use, leasing, or selling, it will be in great demand.

Moreover, gathering a large number of powerful companies in one region is also conducive to attracting talent.

Overall, it’s all benefits!

After Wang Ye heard the report, he shook his head slightly, "Ah, the progress is still a bit slow, but there’s no way around it, this is already as fast as it can be, considering these are skyscrapers..."

This CBD business district only began construction this year, and the efficiency is already quite high, but to really get a decent construction up, it will basically take two to three years.

Some of the lower buildings will take about two years to complete and move into, and for those taller buildings, it’s a starting point of three years.

That’s why Wang Ye lamented the slow progress.

Indeed, there’s no help for it; building such superstructures isn’t just about the money and people being in place, it must proceed in an orderly fashion with scientific construction practices.

Perhaps the main structure could be built quickly, almost in one year or even half a year.

But the external finishing, the internal water and electricity installations, and other decorations take a considerable amount of time; as the saying goes in construction, ’a building topped out has only completed one-third of the whole project,’ with time and money, most will be spent later...

.....

The motorcade arrived at the CBD business district, which now resembled a super-large construction site.

The entire CBD area was surrounded by temporary fencing for closed management, leaving only a few gates for entry and exit, with security guards stationed.

This was also to prevent ordinary people from accidentally wandering into the construction site and getting injured.

The weather today was still decent, at least without heavy snow, so there was a roar of noise from the construction site, signaling that the workers were busy at work.

Wang Ye’s visit today was unannounced, one might call it a whim.

He just made a call to the Site Management Office from his office before coming over.

The security guard must have received the notice from above, and upon seeing Wang Ye’s motorcade, he didn’t ask any questions, hurriedly opened the gate to let the vehicles in.

"Boss, do you want to go down and take a look?" Nova inquired.

Wang Ye glanced outside through the car window and directed, "Let the security vehicles wait here, and we will drive around inside."

Although the CBD business district was not planned to be very large, walking around it would still take some time.

Not to mention that the area wasn’t completed yet; it was one large construction site with muddy water all over the roads, making it even less convenient for walking.

Thus, Wang Ye thought of first taking a drive along the main road, and then, if necessary, stopping to take a closer look later.

In this case, there was no need for the entire convoy to follow along; that would be too ostentatious.

After all, the place was currently closed off; besides construction workers and construction site management personnel, there wouldn’t be any other idle people, so safety certainly wasn’t an issue.

Following Nova’s orders, the vehicle Wang Ye was in began to slowly drive forward along the main thoroughfare that had already been constructed in the CBD business district.

On both sides of the road were bustling construction sites, machines roared, and there was a flurry of human activity.

It was clear that to ensure the earliest possible completion date, the enterprises were quite willing to spend money, which correspondingly, meant more workers dispatched by the construction contractors and more construction machinery at each site.

Having circled around, Wang Ye mostly saw Chinese faces and Russians.

That made sense, as Nova reported earlier that the contracting party seemed to be from China, and as for those Russians, they were probably locally recruited.

With Russia’s economy booming in recent years, there’s been a significant influx of workers from surrounding sibling countries, making Russians more numerous than before.

For foreign enterprises like China Construction Group that take on local construction projects, policies also mandate that they must employ a certain number of local personnel, and it’s not possible to bring in all workers from China.
