An eccentric Chinese millionaire and apparently one of the biggest fans of the legendary Star Trek franchise has built his company HQs in the shape of the Starship Enterprise, where the series’ characters explored new worlds in death-defying journeys.
The Starship Enterprise’is located in the city of Fuzhou, Fujian province, south-eastern China. It has circular contours and tubular features like its twin from the franchise.
The ‘spacecraft’ was built by Liu Dejian, the head of Netdragon Websoft Inc, a Chinese company that develops massive multiplayer online games and makes mobile applications, China’s People’s Daily newspaper reported as cited by AFP. Liu currently takes 320th place on the list of China’s wealthiest businessmen, according to Forbes.
The paper says that “an informed source” at NetDragon confirmed that the building is also called ‘Enterprise.’
It took Liu four years – presumably since October 2010 until October 2014 – and $160 million to build his 260-meter long, 100-meter wide, six-floor ‘spacy’ brainchild.
Liu bought the USS Enterprise copyright from CBS, the US broadcaster that produced Star Trek. In fact, this is the only officially licensed Star Trek building on Earth.
“That was their first time dealing with an issue like this and at first they thought that it was a joke,” said the company in an email to the Wall Street Journal.
“They realized somebody in China actually did want to work out a building modeled on the USS Enterprise only after we sent the relevant legal documents.”
Star Trek fans may now see that the structure, a fantastic homage to the Star Trek franchise, is really neat and looks like its famous twin.
Clearly, the newest death of OBL has raised many more questions that have been empirically answered – again, our government is clearly out of control with little accountability. We who question are the ones who are thinking clearly – not the ones who blindly accept WH press releases as incontrovertible proof.
“One act of kindness was ultimately tripled in value by people subsequently giving more and more.” Timely information for these dark times.
