We know being a "nerd" is really in right now. We can't go online without someone claiming to be a comic book nerd, movie nerd, cosplay nerd or whatever other kind of nerd there is to be, but none of you...I repeat none of you...is as big as of a nerd as this CEO that built his entire office building in the likeness of the iconic Starship Enterprise from Star Trek.
Liu Dejian who is the creator of the gaming company NetDragon (and one of China's wealthiest men) decided to put a little fanboy spin on his company's building because boring office buildings are so 2014. The greatest part is Djian's lawyers had to send CBS, the owners of the Star Trek name, any of the show's likenesses and creations, documents asking for permission to construct the Enterprise building in the first place. Apparently CBS thought they were joking when first asked but eventually gave permission.

With measurements of 850 feet long and 300 feet wide with six floors total, NetDragon spent nearly $100 million to build the Enterprise look-a-like with construction finished by October. Just in time for a Halloween party! I wonder who had the balls to not dress up as a Star Trekcharacter that year.
