Chapter 1705 Difficult Challenge

Sometimes, grades don't mean everything.

For example, the New York Knicks, after winning two championships in the 1970s, have never had brilliant results for more than 40 years.

Sometimes, grades don't mean everything.

For example, the New York Knicks have never been brilliant after the 1970s.

But in 2017, its annual profit was the highest in the NBA, reaching $367 million!

You know, the rest of the NBA teams simply don't have that much profit.

The lowest is only one-tenth or one-twentieth of the New York Knicks, and there are even losses.

There is only one reason why the New York Knicks make money.

You can tell just by looking at its ranking.

New York!

The largest city in the world, the richest city in the world. There are countless rich people here, and consumption is very strong. It can almost be regarded as a medium-sized country!

Therefore, although the New York Knicks' performance is not good, there are many people watching and supporting it, so naturally they will make a lot of money.

This leaves many teams with good results speechless.

Sure enough, this world is still a society based on appearance!

No matter how bad the performance of your New York Knicks team is, they just want to make money, right?

Just like the Los Angeles Lakers, when their performance is not good, the first, second, and third rows of the VIP seats are still full of ruined stars. It's not a problem to just find a few Oscar-level stars.

So this is why Yin Jun chose to buy the New York Knicks.

But when it came to the team's relocation, he didn't listen to anyone's opinions, including David Stern's well-intentioned dissuasion.

Of course they don’t know that the New York metropolitan area in 2020 is not the same concept as it is in 1984.

Although by that time, Madison Square Garden was still the center of downtown New York, there were many other areas with developed economies and large populations.

The area Yin Jun selected will be the famous commercial district in the future. He purchased it three years ago when he chose to build the Kirin Cinema Line.

It's just that now it's still a less prosperous land, but it's still on the edge of Manhattan Island.

The choice of Manhattan Island makes this piece of land the most expensive among the 100 pieces of land in the Kirin Cinema Line.

Yin Jun also has a huge plan. He wants to rely on the home arena of the New York Kirin team to develop this place into a prosperous business district in advance.

This place can not only promote concerts, performances, etc., but also promote Kirin Cinema and Kirin Commercial Plaza.

In addition, there are hundreds of acres of land that can be used for commercial development, which can generate profits of at least tens of billions of dollars.

New York is known as a place where every inch of land is precious, and this is not just talk!

The only obstacle to realizing these profits is actually time. It will take 30 years before this area will be so valuable.

No matter how good the investment is, you still need to wait patiently to get the best harvest.

Of course, planning and design are very important to determine how much benefit you can get.

So Yin Jun went to visit Pei Yuming, who was also in New York City.

The world's most famous architect smiled bitterly the first time he saw Yin Jun.

"Mr. Yin, I regret it now. Why did I have to make a bet with you?" Bei Yuming sighed, "I know you are a person with extremely accurate vision. How could I doubt that your guess was wrong? Woolen cloth?"

Yin Jun smiled brightly upon hearing this.

Pei Yuming was talking about a bet between the two last year.

Yin Jun spent a lot of money to hire Pei Yuming to do the overall venue design and planning for the Huajing Asian Games.

At that time, Pei Yuming felt that they were making useless efforts. Even in the United States, he knew that Hiroshima, Japan, was only one step away from successfully bidding to host the 1990 Asian Games.

So he agreed to bet with Yin Jun. If he lost, he would take over a design job entrusted by Yin Jun.

You also need to pay for entrusting designs. Anyway, you win or lose, so you win or lose, so Pei Yuming doesn't care much.

In early June this year, the Asian Committee's second meeting of standards was held in Singapore. Hiroshima, Japan, unexpectedly announced that it would withdraw from the competition to host the 1990 Asian Games. China, as the only remaining candidate country, , naturally it won the right to host the 1990 Asian Games.

At the same time, while the whole country was rejoicing, China also announced its full support for Japan's Hiroshima to apply for the right to host the event in 1994, which could be regarded as reciprocating the favor.

As a Chinese overseas, Pei Yuming is naturally happy that his motherland has won the right to host the Asian Games.

Especially this time, the overall design of the venues, roads, etc. are all from his handiwork. His traces will definitely be left in future history, which is also a great honor.

But he never expected that Le Yiling, the president of Qilin Group, would find him the day after the results came out.

On that day, Pei Yuming clearly remembered that the fax machine spit out thousands of drawings, all of which were from Lantau Island in Hong Kong.

It happened to be on those days that the Kirin Group acquired 20 square kilometers of land on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, and they ambitiously wanted to build a site of their own on it.

This is a good thing!

But when it comes to Bei Yuming, he seems a little depressed.

It's very simple. The result of the bet between Yin Jun and him was to ask Pei Yuming to help come up with the overall design of these 20 square kilometers.

Upon hearing this request and seeing so many drawings, Pei Yuming could only smile bitterly.

A whole 20 square kilometers!

He had never designed such a large group of buildings in his life. It was like building a town.

But on the other hand, after feeling a little depressed, Bei Yuming felt a little excited.

Because he had never done this before, it was a great challenge for him.

At Pei Yuming's current status, it is already difficult for him to get interested in ordinary projects. That is to say, he is too lazy to use his brain and just do it in a regular manner.

That is to say, the design of the last Huajing Asian Games allowed him to perform well, and it was widely recognized around the world, which made him very proud.

Now comes another design that is even more complicated and huge than the Huajing Asian Games. It is definitely a hell-level difficulty, but it just happens to make Pei Yuming the focus of the world again, and even become the unique king of design!

Think about it!

Decades later, when people look at the huge, magnificent and poetic Lantau Island complex, won’t they admire him as a designer?

Besides, it's not like Yin Jun doesn't give money, and he is a very generous person.

Even Le Yiling, who has always been known as stingy, told Pei Yuming directly this time that he only wanted the best design and would not care about the design cost.

Pei Yuming likes this kind of employer the most.

Therefore, even though he has not yet given a formal reply, he is inclined to take on this task.

It happened that Yin Jun came to the United States and New York at this time. When Pei Yuming saw this heroic young man, he subconsciously sighed.

"Actually, I took advantage of it." Yin Jun said politely, "This commission may take you a year or two, Mr. Bei. It is indeed too hard."

When Yin Jun said this, Bei Yuming felt a little embarrassed, "Haha, it's not hard work. As designers, we do it so that our works can remain in the world so that we can have thoughts about them. Secondly, we also do it to make money!" After making this payment, I can really retire with peace of mind!"

Listening to his words, Yin Jun smiled and nodded.

Now that Pei Yuming has agreed, he is really looking forward to what his headquarters area will be like!

The most powerful thing about Pei Yuming is not how dazzling his style is, but his ability to design works that best suit the temperament of the place based on the characteristics of the place and the inheritance of these cultures and regions.

That's why he is called the master!

"Speaking of which, I came here this time because I wanted to trouble you a little bit." Yin Jun said with a smile, "You know that I bought the New York Knicks and changed their name to the New York Kirins, right?"

"I know!" Bei Yuming said.

As a New Yorker, of course he knew that the New York City basketball team had changed owners.

Especially since it was Yin Jun who bought the New York Knicks, Pei Yuming paid even more attention to it.

"I went to inquire about it and found out that the owner of the Madison Square Garden Arena is not willing to sell it, and I don't have the habit of sharing a home court with others." Yin Jun said, "In addition, I was in Manhattan in the past two years. I bought a piece of land and it happened to be enough space, so I wanted to build a brand new comprehensive stadium here."

While Yin Jun was talking, he took out a stack of information from his bag, which included the location of the land he bought, an introduction to the environment on the left, photos and information, some requirements, etc.

Pei Yuming took it over, looked at it, and said thoughtfully, "Are you going to let me help you design this new gymnasium?"

"right!"

Yin Jun said, "Since we are going to build a new gymnasium, we must make it the best! And you are an expert in this area, so I want to ask you to help."

Pei Yuming thought about it for a while and said: "I may not have that much time recently because I took a job in Canada, and then I have to work on the overall design of Qilin Group's Lantau Island. So I will design the appearance and internal layout for you. Features, and the rest of the specific details of the design, I will ask my eldest son to do it for you... Of course, I will definitely come to check and inspect it in the end, what do you think?"

"good!"

Yin Jun did not hesitate.

Pei Yuming's eldest son is also a master of design. His achievements are not as good as those of his father, but he is still a brilliant man.

In particular, the most important design such as appearance is still done by Pei Yuming himself, and there is nothing to say about it.

A good stadium can become a landmark building of a place.

For example, Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena and Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium are all like this.

Yin Jun has the most powerful team in the NBA in the future, as well as the most modern and dazzling arena in the NBA in the future. It is impossible not to have a huge reputation in the United States!

And with such an influential team, Yin Jun's social status and influence in the United States are no less important than that of an entertainment tycoon!
