Chapter 1407: People Can’t Forget Their Roots
Li Chaoren was very cautious. After listening to Yin Jun's words, he was not in a hurry to express his position.
If he rushes to express his position on such a big matter, he will not be Li Chaoren.
He immersed himself in thinking for a while, and then started to discuss with Yin Jun after he had a rough idea in his mind.
"Yin Sheng, I know what you mean, and I think what you said makes sense." Li Chaoren said slowly but firmly: "But Xiangjiang has always been the most important base of Changshi Group. Before there is a stable road to success, I have no way to ignore its fundamental interests and invest huge sums of money in development in the mainland."
"What if Changshi Group develops smoothly?" Yin Jun said.
"If it gets on the right track before 1986, then Changshi Group will get involved." Li Chaoren was not stupid and directly gave the conditions.
Not only does Cheung Kong Group need to survive the crisis, but the focus is still on Kirin Group.
For Li Chaoren, his roots are still in Xiangjiang.
If we can develop well in the mainland, of course it will be a good thing, but if we neglect Xiangjiang because of the mainland, it is a typical behavior that ignores the foundation.
What's more, it's not like Li Chaoren has never studied the real estate industry in the mainland, and it is completely in a barbaric stage.
If it were ten or eight years later, there might still be some progress, but it would definitely not be now.
Now, if Li Chaoren agrees to participate, it will definitely be because of political considerations, not economic considerations.
Sometimes, businessmen are so sad. They clearly don't want to participate, but they have to participate - this is what Li Chaoren is thinking now.
Yin Jun didn't care about this, "Okay, let's settle it first."
He originally planned to find another real estate developer, but now seeing Li Chaoren's appearance, he knew it was not very practical.
It will still take two years until the situation is completely clear before it is appropriate to go with them.
By then, they all know that after 1997, Xiangjiang will completely belong to China. Even if it is to buy a safety charm, I believe that the wealthy people in Xiangjiang will collectively follow Yin Jun.
But if that's the case, the proportion they can account for is very small.
I shared all the early risks alone, and when it seemed that there were benefits, you rushed forward and wanted to make a fortune together... I asked, is there such a good thing in this world?
Of course, most of the rich people in Xiangjiang are unreliable, but if Yin Jun wants to launch the plan, Mr. Huo will definitely be involved. The chartering king will also come, so will Guo Hezai, and Ye Han, a sweetheart, will also come. If you will join, maybe Sha Dantong will also have the courage to give it a try.
Actually think about it, as the beginning of the first batch, so many people are enough.
At least it's enough in terms of momentum.
Can a project funded by the top three richest people in Xiangjiang not be eye-catching and have social effects?
Yin Jun sent people from the American branch to find Pei Yuming a few days ago, but he did not see Mr. Pei because he traveled to Europe to absorb more knowledge and broaden his horizons.
The old man is over 60 years old, but he has never stopped making continuous progress. No wonder he can still create masterpieces like the Transparent Pyramid in his 70s.
In the end, after going through a lot of people, Yin Jun got Pei Yuming's contact information and found him in a hotel in Paris.
Pei Yuming was very interested in Yin Jun's request that he return to China to design a comprehensive set of Asian Games venues and buildings.
He was born in China. He is completely different from those second-generation Chinese. He has deep feelings for the motherland. Otherwise, he would not have designed the Fragrant Hill Hotel last year.
As a step for China to re-enter the world stage, Pei Yuming knows how eye-catching the Asian Games is.
If a Chinese can leave his mark on this, it will definitely be something that people will remember a hundred years from now.
Therefore, he stopped his trip in Europe and took a plane directly to Xiangjiang to have a detailed talk with Yin Jun.
The day after the negotiation with Li Chaoren failed, Pei Yuming arrived in Xiangjiang.
When Yin Jun arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, Pei Yuming had just slept for an hour and finished washing up, looking very energetic.
Pei Yuming is not alone.
He is not only a genius-level architectural designer, but also the boss of his own design company. When he goes out to observe the outside world for inspiration, several designers will follow him.
Pei Yuming is also older, so his family has assigned him two life assistants, a boy and a girl.
Yin Jun saw Bei Yuming. The female life assistant was massaging Bei Yuming. Bei Yuming was sitting on the sofa, enjoying it and closing his eyes to relax.
"Lao Bei!"
This was the first name the young man called when they met, which made Bei Yuming burst into laughter.
"Young Master Jun!" He also called Yin Jun fashionably, "I have long heard that there is an incredible genius among us Chinese, and I have long wanted to meet you."
"Mr. Bei is also a person I respect. Not everyone can conquer the Western world." Yin Jun smiled, "Mr. Bei, you are one and I am the same. There will definitely be more behind us. Chinese people make the world bow their heads."
"Ha ha……"
Pei Yuming laughed heartily, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
However, the few middle-aged and young people in suits standing next to him showed no proud expressions.
Yin Jun didn't care either.
But they looked at Yin Jun with interest.
Although they regard themselves as Americans, Yin Jun's achievements are admired by the whole world.
Faced with such a young man who started from scratch and relied on his own ability to conquer the world, of course we should have a respectful attitude.
The two chatted for a while, and then Pei Yuming neatly changed the topic to the Asian Games in Huajing.
"Master Jun, I heard that the Asian Games in 1990 has basically been decided to be held in Hiroshima, Japan. Why are you still actively organizing this matter?" Pei Yuming asked He said, "If the dust really settles, wouldn't our hard work be in vain? Especially for you, Mr. Jun, wouldn't all your hard work and money have been in vain?"
Asking Pei Yuming to design the Asian Games venues and layout construction requires money. Although people are patriotic, they will never be patriotic for free.
Yin Jun had no objection at all.
He never liked being kidnapped by patriots. Those idiots' theory was to get as far away as possible.
In this regard, Yin Jun admires Western thought.
First realize personal ideals and protection, and then use your own power to support or change some things. This is the most normal patriotic model.
If we have to destroy the family to relieve the people, it must be a time of life and death, not this peaceful era.
Therefore, when Yin Jun came to the mainland to open a factory, he still had to make money, and he would also enjoy the tax reduction and exemption benefits that everyone should enjoy.
This is a business rule.
I would rather support the development of the mainland after making money than directly saying that I don't want to make money.
Such a model is simply not sustainable.
So when Pei Yuming mentioned on the phone that he would charge a fee, Yin Jun readily agreed and reassured him that "all expenses are not a problem."
With this commitment, Pei Yuming and his team came so quickly.
"Our hard work cannot be in vain." After thinking about it, Yin Jun said seriously, "China's bid to host the 1990 Asian Games will definitely succeed. It can only be ours. Hiroshima is not a threat."
"But Mr. Yin, there are no absolutes in this world, and you can't guarantee it." A younger designer couldn't help but say in English.
Yin Jun looked at Bei Yuming, who smiled but said nothing.
Nodding, Yin Jun said to him in Chinese, "Which country are you from?"
"American." He replied in English.
"Where are your parents' place of origin?"
"China."
"Since you have the blood of Chinese people in your body and you are standing on the land of Chinese people, please speak Chinese to me." Yin Jun said lightly, "This is the minimum respect for your motherland."
"Xiangjiang..."
The young man was about to say angrily that Xiangjiang is not from China now, but he suddenly saw Yin Jun's eyes stern and his words stopped, and he was startled.
The people Yin Jun met on weekdays were either super rich or high-ranking officials. How could a mere designer survive in front of Yin Jun's imposing manner?
"Otherwise." Yin Jun ignored him and said to Bei Yuming, "Mr. Pei, let's sign a gambling agreement! If China does not get the right to host the 1990 Asian Games, in addition to normal design fees, In addition, I will give you another 10 million US dollars. But if on the contrary, you lose, you can help me design a more grand site in the future, and the price will not be less, okay?"
"So confident?" Bei Yuming looked at Yin Jun and said.
"Didn't you say that I am a genius?" Yin Jun said harmoniously, "This is the instruction given to me by God."
"good!"
Bei Yuming thought about it for a while and readily agreed.
In this gambling agreement, he lost nothing at all.
Even if he loses, he will just get one more job, and it’s not like he won’t get the design fee.
"Actually, I'm not worried. Even if it doesn't work this time, there is still the 1994 Asian Games, which can still be used." Bei Yuming said with a smile, "But I also hope that you don't fail, Mr. Jun. Because we all have the same expectations!”
"right."
Yin Jun nodded sternly and said, "Tomorrow we will send someone here to sign a contract with Mr. Bei. If you have any ideas or needs, please feel free to mention them. I only have one request, and that is to be one of those foreigners who never A classic design that I have never seen before!”
"I'll try my best!" Speaking of this, the smile on Bei Yuming's face disappeared and he became solemn.
"It's just that if the design is completed, according to the domestic situation, the funds may not be sufficient, right?" Pei Yuming also expressed his worries, "Will it rely on donations from overseas Chinese?"
"No need." Yin Jun said, "We Xiangjiang businessmen are prepared to undertake all the construction projects this time. Huajing should give us more land as a reward."
Pei Yuming felt relieved when he heard that it was the wealthy people of Xiangjiang who took over the project.
Not to mention anything else, Yin Jun, Mr. Huo and Charter King alone have assets worth two to three billion US dollars.
As long as they are willing to take action, their designs can be bold, advanced and fashionable!
…
After making an appointment to have dinner together and give Bei Yuming a break, Yin Jun left.
During this period, he didn't even look at the young designer with whom he had just argued, which made the young designer feel even more humiliated.
So as soon as Yin Jun left, he couldn't wait to say to Bei Yuming: "Teacher, this Yin Jun is so arrogant! In front of you, he doesn't give any face. Can we cooperate with such a person?"
"Andy, how long have you been with me?" Bei Yuming didn't answer him, or even turned around. He was silent for a moment and asked calmly.
"After graduation, I have been studying with the teacher for 5 years." Andy replied subconsciously.
"Well, you should be 28 this year, right?"
"Yes." Andy said blankly, "Teacher, why do you ask this?"
"I was just thinking..." Bei Yuming sighed, "I'm not a qualified teacher..."
"No, no, you are the best architect in the world!" Andy waved his hand quickly.
"In terms of architectural design, I may have some talent, but when it comes to teaching students, I'm a failure." Bei Yuming smiled faintly, "You pack up, go back to the United States tomorrow, and go through the resignation procedures. .”
"ah!?"
Andy was scared out of his mind, "Teacher...why!?"
"Master Jun is right. You don't have any respect for your own country, your parents' country, or your own blood. I really don't dare to have such a student." Bei Yuming said, "I have been educating you for so many years. , I couldn’t even teach you this basic thing well, it’s also my fault.”
Having said this, Pei Yuming stood up and turned to look at him, "A person like Mr. Jun is not only a genius, but he can succeed. He has his most determined pursuit and dream in his heart, so he can follow this He works hard to achieve his goal. Although such a person seems a bit unreasonable to a smart person like you, I admire him very much and like him.
Your ideas and concepts are fundamentally different from ours, and I can't tolerate them, so I won't welcome people like you here! Go back to the United States tomorrow, and I will compensate you according to the company's regulations on layoffs! I wish you all the best in the future! "
With that said, Bei Yuming went directly into his bedroom and never looked at him again.
"Snapped!"
Andy's trembling legs could no longer support him. He suddenly became weak and collapsed on the ground, his face full of despair.
He never imagined that with just a few words, his whole future would be ruined!
After leaving Pei Yuming, as a Chinese, where can he find better teachers to teach him and take him to practice design in the field?
Without Pei Yuming's recommendation, he would not have been able to work in a large architectural design company.
Even if others knew that he was kicked out by Pei Yuming, they probably wouldn't use him.
Will I have to go to those second- and third-rate design studios in the future?
Andy felt that his life was suddenly filled with despair.
The senior brothers next to him all looked at each other.
No one could have imagined that this teacher, who was very serious at work, would have such a cold and determined side.
Although they are not as extreme as Andy, they definitely do not identify with this country as much as Pei Yuming and Yin Jun.
As someone who was born and raised in the United States, the alienation is definitely there.
Now it seems that such an idea is unacceptable.
In the future, when going to Huajing to inspect and carry out design work on the spot, we must be careful and not show any condescension or look down upon others.
Otherwise, Andy's lesson will make them pack up and leave too!
