Chapter 125 Historical Coincidence!
Merlis is the general manager of Empire Group and the second in command of Empire Group. There are too many people who want to see him every day.
"General manager, a young man who claims to be Mr. Bei just sent you a visiting card."
Mr. Bei?
"Put it here."
Merlis now receives a lot of visiting cards every day.
When Merlis opened the visiting card.
He learned that Mr. Bei was actually Bei Jianzhong, the second son of the famous Chinese architect Pei Yuming of M country.
Just now, Merlis knew that his boss Yang Ming was concerned about the construction of the Empire Group Building. Now the son of the famous architectural design master Pei Yuming is coming to visit him.
Merlis read it carefully.
Now he is here to see him with the title of Master of Architecture from Harvard University and the second son of Pei Yuming.
"Secretary, where is Mr. Bei?"
"General manager, Mr. Bei is still waiting outside. I wonder if we should let him leave?"
"Let him come to see me."
"Yes, general manager."
The female secretary went out.
Bei Jianzhong was waiting at the front desk.
Now the Empire Group is very famous, and he dare not look around.
After taking a few glances, I saw that there were many white and Chinese employees coming in and out.
"Mr. Bei, our general manager invites you in."
Bei Jianzhong was surprised when he heard this. He was most worried that he could not even meet Mai Lisi, so how could he meet Mr. Yang?
When Bei Jianzhong was taken to the general manager's office, he knocked on the door and went in.
Bei Jianzhong saw a white man busy there.
This should be Mr. Mai Lisi, the general manager of Empire Group.
"General Manager, Mr. Bei is here."
"Hello, Mr. Mai Lisi, sorry to bother you." Bei Jianzhong stood up and greeted Mai Lisi first.
Mai Lisi came out from his seat, shook hands with Bei Jianzhong, and sat aside.
"Mr. Pei, I heard that your father is Mr. Ieoh Ming Pei, a famous Chinese architectural designer?"
"Yes, Mr. Melis. Yesterday, the three of us flew from New York to Hong Kong. Before meeting you, my father, my eldest brother and I went to the Murray House to take a look around. At this time, my father and my eldest brother are staying at the Mandarin Hotel."
Ieoh Ming Pei is very famous in the world of architecture.
Malis is also very clear about this.
The most important thing is that Ieoh Ming Pei himself is Chinese and has a good understanding of Chinese culture.
And his boss, Mr. Yang, is also Chinese.
Maybe Mr. Ieoh Ming Pei's works can be praised by Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Pei, our boss Mr. Yang spent a lot of money to buy the land of Murray Building, and the purpose is to build it as the parent company of Empire Group. Therefore, this time we invited world-renowned architectural design masters to design it."
"Mr. Mai Lisi, my father also attaches great importance to the construction of Empire Group Building. My father said that even if Mr. Yang and Empire Group don't pay, he is willing to design a design that Mr. Yang will be satisfied with."
Yang Ming and Empire Group represent Hong Kong, and even the rise of global Chinese capital, which is of great significance.
Mr. Pei has many works in his life, but each one is a fine product and world-famous.
Building Empire Group Building on the land of Murray Building is indeed of great significance.
Ma Lisi knows that Empire Group and Mr. Yang are not short of money.
What they value is the Empire Group Building after construction.
Ma Lisi and Bei Jianzhong chatted there for more than half an hour.
Bei Jianzhong was more and more surprised as they talked.
It seems that Mr. Yang really spared no expense to build the Empire Group Building, which will not only represent Hong Kong, but also Asia and the world.
If that is the case, it seems that both myself and my father must pay great attention to it.
10:30 am.
"Mr. Bei, please."
The two have finished talking.
Mailisi still has to keep busy.
Mailisi asked the female secretary to send Bei Jianzhong out.
Bei Jianzhong came out of the general manager's office and passed by the chairman's office. He didn't know whether Mr. Yang was inside.
When Bei Jianzhong left here.
He took a car back to the Mandarin Hotel.
At this time, Pei Yuming and his son were waiting for him to come back.
"Have you met Mr. Mai Lisi?"
"Father, brother, I met Mr. Mai Lisi. Mr. Mai Lisi respects you very much. However, Mr. Mai Lisi said that the land of the Murray Building will be built as the headquarters of the Empire Group Building. It is not only a representative of Hong Kong, but also a representative of Asia and the world. He is not sure whether your work will be used at that time. Only when the global architectural designers hand over their works to the Empire Group, the Empire Group will finally select the most suitable one for construction."
Ieoh Ming Pei nodded.
The Empire Group, which was able to swallow up foreign companies like Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, was naturally very powerful.
The Empire Group was planning to build its headquarters there, which was even more important.
"Jianzhong, did he ask you to meet Mr. Yang?"
"Brother, I didn't ask that. Mr. Yang handed this matter over to Mr. Ma Lisi, and Mr. Ma Lisi's words should be what Mr. Yang meant."
"Don't worry, we must at least have a design drawing that can be presented first." Pei Yuming said.
He already had his own design drawing in his mind.
However, he was not a real Feng Shui master, so it seemed that he had to ask the Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong for help.
"Jianzhong, please find two more famous Feng Shui masters for me. I plan to meet them tonight."
"Yes, father."
This time, the Murray Building was rebuilt into the Empire Group Building. Pei knew that he had to take it down.
In his opinion, this was not only related to his own face, but also to the face of the Chinese people. How could such an important building be handed over to other architects?
Pei was old.
In addition, he had been on the plane for so long, so he planned to rest in the Mandarin Hotel first and meet the two Feng Shui masters tonight.
. . .
Pei Jianzhong had just left the Federal Building.
Mai Lisi came out of the general manager's office and went to the chairman's office next door.
Yang Ming was sitting in a wheelchair typing on the computer keyboard. When he saw Mai Lisi coming in, he asked, "Ma Lisi, what's the matter?"
"Boss, the second son of the famous Chinese architect Mr. Pei came to visit me just now."
Pei?
Yang Ming really had a deep impression of this person.
He knew that Pei was well-known in the global architectural community.
For example, the later famous Paris Glass Pyramid was one of Pei's representative works.
In addition, after the Murray Building was moved away, the Hong Kong Bank of China Building built on the land of the Murray Building was actually designed by I.M. Pei.
Yang Ming did not expect that I.M. Pei and his son would come to visit him in person.
"What did he say?"
"Mr. Pei said that his father attached great importance to the construction of the Empire Group headquarters and flew from New York in person. He went to the Murray Building to inspect it as soon as he got off the plane."
Yang Ming nodded.
Only when the designer comes to inspect the surrounding environment in person can he design a perfect drawing.
If he does not even see the surrounding environment clearly, how can he be satisfied with the design drawing drawn casually?
Of course, the master is the master, and the attitude is also very important.
