Chapter 125 A coincidence of history!
Meris is the general manager of the Empire Group and the second-in-command of the Empire Group. There are too many people who want to see him every day.
"General Manager, a young man who calls himself Mr. Bei just sent you a visit note."
Mr. Bay?
"Set it here."
Melis receives a lot of visiting notes every day.
When Melis opened the visiting note.
It was learned that Mr. Bei was actually Bei Jianzhong, the second son of Pei Yuming, a famous Chinese architect in Country M.
Just now, Merlis knew that his boss Yang Ming was concerned about the construction of the Empire State Building, and now the son of the famous architectural designer IM Pei was coming to visit him.
Merith looked carefully.
Now he came to see him in the name of the second son of I.M. Pei, who has a master's degree in architecture from Harvard University.
"Secretary, where is Mr. Bei?"
"General manager, Mr. Bei is still waiting outside. I wonder if you should let him leave?"
"Let him come to me."
"Yes, general manager."
The female secretary goes out.
Bei Jianzhong is waiting at the front desk.
Now that the Imperial Group is very famous, he doesn't dare to look around.
After taking a few glances, I saw that there were many white and Chinese employees here, coming in and out.
"Mr. Bei, our general manager invites you in."
When Bei Jianzhong heard this, he seemed pleasantly surprised. He was most worried that he would not even be able to see Merliss. How could he possibly see Mr. Yang in that case?
When Bei Jianzhong was taken to the general manager's office, he knocked on the door and entered.
Bei Jianzhong saw a white man busy there.
This should be Mr. Merlis, the general manager of the Empire Group.
"General Manager, Mr. Bei is here."
"Hello, Mr. Merliss, I'm sorry to bother you." Bei Jianzhong stood up and greeted Merliss first.
Meris came out of his seat, shook hands with Bei Jianzhong, and sat aside.
"Mr. Pei, I heard that your father is Mr. Pei Yuming, a famous Chinese architectural design master?"
"Yes, Mr. Meilisi. Yesterday, the three of us, father and son, flew to Xiangjiang from New York. Before coming to see you, my father, my father, and my eldest brother had already gone to Murray House to take a look at the surrounding situation. .At this time, my father and my eldest brother were staying at the Mandarin Hotel."
I.M. Pei is very famous in the world of architecture.
Meris is also very clear on this point.
The most important thing is that Pei himself is Chinese and knows Chinese culture very well.
And his boss, Mr. Yang, is Chinese.
Maybe Mr. Pei's works can be praised by Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Bei, our boss Mr. Yang spent a lot of money to acquire the Murray Building site with the purpose of building it into the parent company of Empire Group. Therefore, this time, we invited world-renowned architectural design masters to design it."
"Mr. Merrith, my father also attaches great importance to the construction of the Empire State Building. My father said that even if Mr. Yang and the Empire Group do not contribute the money, he is willing to design a building that satisfies Mr. Yang."
Yang Minghe Imperial Group represents the rise of Chinese capital in Hong Kong and even the world, which is of great significance.
Mr. Pei produced many works in his lifetime, but each one is a fine product and famous around the world.
The construction of the Empire State Building on the Murray House site is indeed of great significance.
Meris knew that both Imperial Group and Mr. Yang were short of money.
What matters most is the Empire State Building after construction.
Meris and Bei Jianzhong chatted there for more than half an hour.
The more Bei Jianzhong chatted, the more surprised he became.
It seems that Mr. Yang really spared no expense to build the Empire State Building, which will not only be an architectural representative in Hong Kong, but also in Asia and the world.
If that is really the case, it seems that both myself and my father must take it very seriously.
10:30am.
"Mr. Bei, please."
The two of them have finished talking.
Meilisi will continue to be busy.
Mai Lisi asked the female secretary to send Bei Jianzhong out.
Bei Jianzhong came out of the general manager's office and passed by the door of the chairman's office. He didn't know if Mr. Yang was inside.
When Bei Jianzhong left here.
Take the bus back to Mandarin Hotel.
At this time, Pei Yuming and his son were waiting for him to come back.
"Have you met Mr. Malice?"
"Father, brother, I have met Mr. Mellis. Mr. Mellis respects you very much. However, Mr. Mellis said that the Murray Building site will be used as the headquarters of the Empire State Building. Not only Xiangjiang, but also Xiangjiang. He is even a representative of architecture in Asia and the world. He is not sure whether your work will be used by then. Only in the end, architectural designers from all over the world will hand over their works to the Imperial Group, and the Imperial Group will finally select the most suitable ones. Undertake construction.”
Pei Yuming nodded.
The strength of the Imperial Group, which can swallow up foreign companies such as Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, is naturally not simple.
The Imperial Group is planning to build its headquarters there, which is even more important.
"Jianzhong, did he ask you to meet Mr. Yang?"
"Brother, I didn't ask about this. Mr. Yang left this matter to Mr. Meris. Mr. Meris said that, which should be what Mr. Yang meant."
"Don't worry, we must at least get the design drawings first." Pei Yuming said.
He already has his own design in his mind.
However, he is not a real Feng Shui master. It seems that he has to ask the Feng Shui master in Xiangjiang for help.
"Jianzhong, find two famous Feng Shui masters for me. I plan to meet them tonight."
"Yes, father."
This time Murray Building was rebuilt into the Empire State Building, and Pei knew he had to take it down.
In his opinion, this is not only related to his own face, but also related to the face of the Chinese people. How can such an important building be handed over to other architects?
Pei Yuming is old.
In addition, since he has been flying for such a long time, he plans to rest at the Mandarin Hotel first and meet the two Feng Shui masters tonight.
. . .
Bei Jianzhong had just left the Federal Building.
Melis 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 Li Si coming in, he asked: "Ma Li Si, what's the matter?"
"Boss, the second son of the famous Chinese architectural designer Mr. Pei Yuming just came to visit me."
Pei Yuming?
Yang Ming was indeed impressed by this person.
He knew that Pei was well-known in the global architectural community.
The later famous Glazed Pyramid of Paris was one of Pei's masterpieces.
In addition, historically, the Hong Kong Bank of China Building built on the Murray House site after Murray House was moved was actually designed by I.M. Pei.
Yang Ming didn't expect that Pei Yuming and his son would come to visit him in person.
"What did he say?"
"Mr. Bei said that his father attached great importance to the construction of the Empire Group headquarters. He personally flew from New York and went to the Murray Building to inspect it as soon as he got off the plane."
Yang Ming nodded.
Only when the designer himself comes to inspect the surrounding environment in person can he design perfect drawings.
If he didn't even see the surrounding environment clearly and just drew a random design, how could he be satisfied with it.
Of course, a master is a master, and attitude decisions are also very important.
