Chinese Millionaire Builds Company Headquarters to Look Like the Starship Enterprise
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
The headquarters of NetDragon Websoft – China’s most popular internet provider – look quite conventional from the ground, but aerial footage shows that the building is actually a replica of the iconic Starship Enterprise!
NetDragon chairman Liu Dejian, a huge Star Trek fan and self-described ‘Uber Trekkie’, reportedly spent $150 million over a span of six years to construct the USS Enterprise-shaped office. When it was finally ready in 2014, he chose to remain rather low-key about it. But when a fan spotted a satellite image of the badass building – about the size of three football pitches – it eventually stirred up a social media frenzy. Drone footage was soon released online, making Star Trek fans all over the world drool with delight.
