Chapter 825 Preparations for the Inauguration Ceremony of the Empire Group Building!
Why are Hong Kong's wealthy people keen on participating in various charity events? In fact, it is for reputation and to accumulate reputation.
Reputation is very important.
At critical moments, it can not only bring more wealth, but also protect the life of a person or even a family.
Yesterday, as a Justice of the Peace, Yang Ming visited Stanley Prison for the first time. In addition to his obligations and duties as a Justice of the Peace, it is also a way for him to accumulate reputation.
Early this morning.
Yang Ming had just finished swimming and was having breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife. Yang Ming noticed that the newspapers reported in detail about Yang Ming's visit to Stanley Prison yesterday.
The filial prisoner Li Jianxiong, with the consent of Sir Yang and under the supervision of Stanley Prison and people sent by Yang Ming, went to the hospital to see his mother for the last time and then sent her back to Stanley Prison.
Yang Ming agreed with the other party's words. Although the other party was a robber who killed two people, he still agreed to the other party's request, just considering human nature.
Now the newspapers report it very clearly.
After reading it, Yang Ming felt that it was still a bit exaggerated.
In fact, this is a matter of accumulating reputation. It seems to be a small matter for Yang Ming, but it accumulates little by little, and then spreads among Hong Kong citizens, and even spreads to the country and abroad, and Yang Ming's impression on people is different.
Why do those real rich people, such as Li Jiacheng, not like to show off their wealth in public, and usually like to show that they are very frugal in public? In fact, it is also very important to personal reputation, etc.
On the contrary, people like Chen Songqing, who likes to show off their wealth the most, are known as the richest people in Hong Kong who own the most Rolls-Royces, but now they have fallen to this point.
"Peter, you are in the news again?" Mother Li Yufang said to her son Yang Ming with relief.
"Mommy, these newspaper reports are still a bit exaggerated. Of course, ordinary people's bottom-level pursuits are actually these."
After breakfast, Yang Ming took a car to Empire Group.
Just arrived at the chairman's office of Empire Group headquarters.
Mai Lisi came in personally.
"Boss, our Empire Group Building has passed the acceptance. I wonder when we can hold the opening ceremony?"
At the end of last year.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi and others went to visit the Empire Group Building. It was almost in the final stage. Now more than eight months have passed, and this building has been built.
What does this mean?
It means that at the right time, the Empire Group headquarters can be moved from the Federal Building.
It can be said that with the development of the Empire Group, the office building here in the Federal Building has long been unable to meet the office needs of the Empire Group.
The Empire Group needs a larger office building.
"Has all been accepted?"
"Yes, the General Engineering Department has reported that there are no problems, and it has passed the acceptance and confirmed that there are no problems."
The 699-meter-high Empire Group Building is the tallest building in Hong Kong, even in Asia and the world.
In recent years, it has been attracting global attention.
If a grand opening ceremony or even a housewarming ceremony is really to be held, it is also very important.
First, it is to choose a good day for the opening ceremony.
Second, it is to invite the list of participants to attend the opening ceremony.
These two things are the top priorities.
Considering that next month is September, the National Day will soon come.
During the National Day, Yang Ming has to go to Yanjing.
The inauguration ceremony means that it will be held in September or after the National Day.
Yang Ming needs to invite Pei Yuming and his son, as well as Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang and others to determine the date of the building's inauguration ceremony.
As for the list of invitations, Yang Ming asked Mai Lisi to prepare it.
"Ma Lisi, first of all, we need to determine the date. Second, we need to determine the guests who will attend the inauguration ceremony."
The two discussed there.
Yang Ming asked Lin Xiuzhi to send someone to notify Pei Yuming and his son immediately.
Yang Ming hadn't seen them for some time.
However, Pei Yuming and his son worked hard for the construction of the Empire Group Building, especially when Pei Yuming was so old, he often flew from New York to Hong Kong to inspect the Empire Group Building.
Lin Xiuzhi wrote it down.
Then he invited Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang.
Lin Xiuzhi did these things.
We still need to determine the date first.
Mai Lisi has already prepared the list.
The first list is the executives of the Empire Group.
The second list is the list from London.
The third list is the domestic list.
The first is the list of Hong Kong tycoons.
The second is the list of other European and American people.
The third is the list of Japan and Korea.
The fourth is the list of Southeast Asia.
The fifth is the list of places like Taiwan.
The sixth is the list of Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
There are other lists left.
Including the list of partners who cooperate with the Empire Group, etc.
These things are of great importance, and I am afraid that Michael Lees has to think carefully.
. . .
Hong Kong time 9:45 am.
New York time 21:45 pm.
I.M. Pei has gone to bed.
However, his second son, Pei Jianzhong, suddenly received a call from Miss Lin, the secretary of Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, about the inauguration ceremony of the Empire Group Building, hoping to invite them to return to Hong Kong for discussion.
The inauguration ceremony of the Empire Group Building?
Pei Jianzhong naturally knew what it was.
Over the years, he, his elder brother, and his father have indeed spent a lot of energy on this building. It can even be said that Pei's architectural design studio has put all its energy into this aspect, with the goal of pursuing perfection and making it the most iconic building in Hong Kong.
It took nearly five years, and this building was finally completed with the Empire Group investing a lot of money, manpower and material resources.
At this time, the secretary of Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, notified them to fly to Hong Kong for negotiations, which was still very respectful to their father and son.
So much so that Pei Jianzhong was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately took a car from another apartment in New York to see his father.
"Jianzhong, what's the matter?" Pei was awakened by his second son, and he was still a little surprised.
"Father, Sir Yang's secretary just called and said that he wanted to discuss the inauguration ceremony of the Empire Group Building and asked us to fly to Hong Kong to see him."
The inauguration ceremony of the Empire Group Building?
Pei Ieoh already understood.
It seems that the Empire Group Building has been completely repaired and passed the third-party acceptance. The next step is to hold a grand inauguration ceremony.
This is not only a big deal for the Empire Group and Sir Yang, but also the pride of Pei Yuming.
"Jianzhong, did Sir Yang say when to go?"
"Now."
In that case, Pei Yuming went to pack his things.
In fact, there were not many things, just some clothes.
After the three of them packed.
Pei Yuming and his sons immediately went to New York International Airport and took a plane from New York International Airport to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.
The direct flight took about sixteen hours.
Sixteen hours later, the plane that Pei Yuming and his sons were on landed safely at Kai Tak International Airport.
