    What appeared on the screen was a blueprint of a super-modern airport terminal. Seeing this design, Great Lewis waspletely speechless. ording to this design, the airport appeared to be a 4F grade, meaning it could amodate a superrge aircraft like the Sky Crane A380. Capital airports like the one in Celeston City are at this level; there are also at least a dozen runways. Is that really necessary? Just how much would the construction costs for this airport be?


    As an architect himself, Great Lewis estimated the costs of constructing the airport following this design to be around 30 to 35 billion me Nation coins, meaning… the construction cost of the airport alone would consume his entire worth! Sure, okay, you want to build an airport, but does it need to be this absurd?


    What’s up with the “vies with airport facilities?” Wait a second! Great Lewis has never heard of a vi having an airport included, especially when the vi is inhabited by just one person. That’s just… Vote of no confidence. Even the princes of East China wouldn’t do this, right?


    Now Finn Lewis was also rendered speechless. Emma Lewis next to him kept quiet; Great Lewis quickly continued browsing. The images that followed showed the construction process of the entire vi district. The groundwork of the vi area was first, a portion of which was not present. Finn already knew that robots would aplish that part of the construction.


    The remaining part involves construction of the underground water resource cirction system, connecting it to the surface water system, and a man-madeke. The cost of this underground water system project alone is about 2 billion me Nation coins. Next are different artificial scenic areas, like the temperate forest area, desert area,ke area, etc. The budget forndscaping and transnting trees would be approximately 1.5 billion me Nation coins, not including transportation expenses.


    After this ispleted, a golf course, other recreational facilities, and even an amusement park will be built within the vi area. Even though the amusement park isn’t toorge… it’s about the same size as medium-sized amusement parks in first-tier cities. If not for knowing this was a vi design blueprint, Great Lewis would have thought he was designing a city or a national wildlife park.


    The cost for the vi area roads, trees, lighting, and the cables that would run across the entire scenic area would be approximately 20 billion me Nation coins. Then there’s the main vi, including a heliport, a viplex, and other amenities. Overall, excluding the cost of thend, the budget for constructing the entire vi area would be approximately 120 billion me Nation coins.


    Great Lewis had no more words, 120 billion me Nation coins, which would be 20 billion federal coins. All this for a house for himself? Is this some sort of joke? Is this the thought process of the super-rich? Not that of an ordinary person? This is essentially a small city, even more outrageous than a small city. Forget about mansions in me Nation; you would not find a mansion like this anywhere in the world. Apparently, now you would know what real luxury is.


    However, what Great Lewis didn’t know is that not only he was speechless, but Finn was too. Finn had imagined his vi to be all sorts of things, but he never expected it to be this… extravagant! Even a prodigal spender like Finn thought it was overkill, illustrating just how outrageous Olivia Thatcher’s vi design was.


    “Uhm… dear nephew, this blueprint… are you sure about it?” Great Lewis was out of words, and even had to use “dear nephew” to address him.


    “Eh, of course. Since I brought out the design, I definitely want to build it.” What else could Finn say? It was he who agreed to Olivia Thatcher, right? Since he agreed, then just build it. However, a vi area like this might take three to four years to build. Finn didn’t care about the 120 billion, he could be considered to be flush with cash now.


    But wouldn’t such a vi area turn out to be too ostentatious?


    “Alright, if you insist, I can take this project, but my firm can’t handle it alone.” Great Lewis said, a bit speechless. “And, that’s not even the main problem. The main problem is, how do we solve the issue ofnd area? Will the domestic market sell such arge piece ofnd to you? This isn’t just a provincial issue; it’s likely that this needs to be reported to the national department fornd resources for approval.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ” You don’t have to worry about that, Uncle Lewis. I will take care of it. You just need to focus on the construction.”


    “Okay then, since it’s like this, I can take this project. But I can’t manage such a big project on my own. And furthermore, the project this big, if you want to move in as soon as possible, then multiple construction phases have to ur simultaneously, possibly requiring tens of thousands of workers. With that many workers, food, drink, excretion be an issue and would require local official cooperation.”


    “Hm, I’ll consider that. Also, for some of the important parts of the vi project, some new technologies including the construction of the airport terminal will be used. At that time, there will be some new technologies avable. The construction speed will be faster than you imagine, Uncle Lewis.” Finn thought for a moment and said. The entire vi area will definitely make use of new technologies. These technologies could be considered a way of showcasing power. Also, Finn wanted to establish a good construction team.


    What is the construction team for? Of course, it’s to start work as soon as they buy their private ind in the future. But, the mission to buy the private ind only has a two-year limit, which means the entire vi garden area’s construction should finish within one year. This will certainly use a lot of new materials. Finn was not worried about this as Olivia had assured him it could be done as long as the preliminary preparations werepleted.


    “Alright. As long as it passes the National Quality Inspection Bureau, it’s fine. There should be no problem using new technology. Just make sure there are no safety risks,” said Uncle Lewis.
