To be honest, Guo Yongkun couldn't understand these things, and he was a little dizzy.

But I listened patiently, and finally realized the importance of building structure to control costs, and also understood how good a master designer is.

It's no wonder that it's often heard that just hiring a designer for a certain building costs a lot of money...... Oh yes!

can really invite a master like this, Guo Yongkun really doesn't mind giving him hundreds of millions.

And it doesn't hurt at all.

Because the total cost is definitely less than that of ordinary designers, it is still profitable for the owner.

Or even make a big profit.

I don't know if HSBC felt aggrieved after the Bank of China Tower was built.

It cost more than twice as much as the family, and the building turned out to be half a cut shorter than the others.

Of course, Guo Yongkun knows with his ass that this kind of master must be very difficult to invite, and it may not be a matter of more money and less money.

What kind of buildings are they designing?

Denver National Office Building...... Kennedy Library ...... Morgan Building ...... Louvre Pyramid ......

"What do you mean by that?" he asked, looking at Chen Dashao.

"Because I don't know this old man Bei. Chen Dashao spread his hands and said.

“...... I don't know either!"

Looking at Guo Yongkun's confused expression, Chen Dashao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know him, although he is an American, he is of Chinese descent, and he is a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering." ”

"Chinese?" Guo Yongkun paused.

Because of the name I.M. Pei, I really can't tell if it's a Chinese translation of English.

"That's right. Chen Dashao nodded and said, "As far as I know, the ancestral home seems to be from Su Province, and it is not far from your home."

"The old man is old, a little bit of a fallen leaf to return to his roots, I heard that he has been in the mainland for the past few years. Now that the mainland is vigorously developing the private economy, you are the first person in a private enterprise, and if you go to find him, there may be a show. After all, in this way, the port city can have one more landmark building engraved with the mainland label. ”

Guo Yongkun listened, dragged his cheeks and thought about it, if this is the case, it is indeed more appropriate for him to come forward than Chen Dashao.

"Okay, I'll try it. ”

There is no point in talking about money with this kind of person, so you can only play the emotional card with him.

At noon, Mr. Chen had to stay with Guo Yongkun for dinner, but he couldn't shirk it, so he accompanied the old man for two cups in a restaurant in Causeway Bay.

didn't drink much, and the main old man was not in good health.

His ten-year limit is now not a few years left.

Just like the helplessness of treating the fourth master, when people are old and naturally age, Guo Yongkun has no way at all.

The only thing he can change is Huang Jiaju like Beyong...... Guo Yongkun has already "warned" Huang Qitai that Beyong will not accept any Japanese benzene commercial performances, as long as the orchestra is still under his own company.

There is also a "rule" like Jobs, Guo Yongkun specially set up a "rule" for him in Zero Company, all employees of the company have regular physical examinations every year, and the company pays for them.

In this way, he has the ability to intervene in disasters caused by accidents and diseases, so as not to let regret happen.

After returning to the villa on the top of the mountain in the afternoon, Guo Yongkun hung up the phone in the capital and found Wu Rong.

It's embarrassing to say, even this guy actually knows I.M. Pei.

It is said that the old man is now in the ancient city of the Central Plains, and he is also engaged in some design, Guo Yongkun asked Wu Rong to help pull the strings to see if the old man has any intention of meeting.

It's actually an appointment.

If the old man agrees to the meeting, the matter basically does not run.

If you don't agree, it's useless to rush over.

All he could do was wait for news.

......

Another week passed, and the Hong Kong city was over, and Guo Yongkun took Xia Ying and Li Youyou to New York, USA.

When the three of them came out of JFK Airport, Feng Jiawei, who thought he would come to pick up the airport, did not appear, but it was a guy who gave Guo Yongkun a headache and made Xia Ying feel like a great enemy.

"Brother Guo, come, hug one!"

Before Guo Yongkun came back to his senses, a hot figure threw himself into his arms, and the other party not only hugged him, but also kissed him fiercely on the face.

Seeing this, Xia Ying quietly lowered her head.

"Don't talk yet, I'm picking you up today as a sister, not your employee. After crawling out of Guo Yongkun's arms, Leah immediately emphasized.

“......”

Guo Yongkun smiled bitterly, can he say anything?

Can my sister force a kiss?

I haven't seen her for a year, and Leah is still the same Leah, the kind that can make her little brother cry. The figure is still hot, and even more hot. The whole person also looks "high-end" a lot.

The whole body name brand, plus the jewels, attracted a lot of black buddies in the station hall.

This is undoubtedly their favorite dish.

"Why are you here?"

Before coming, Guo Yongkun only called Feng Jiawei.

"There is always something to do, and today it is a coincidence that an official from the municipal side came to the inspection. ”

Guo Yongkun sighed, and didn't ask again.

Eighty percent of Feng Jiawei had something to do temporarily, and he really couldn't leave, so he asked Leah to come over to pick up the plane, but as a result, this girl took off her overalls, changed into fashionable casual clothes, and rushed over, and didn't forget to rub herself with oil.

"Let's go. ”

When several people came to the parking lot, Leah obviously changed cars, and the Mercury sports car that Guo Yongkun rewarded her with disappeared and was replaced by a more riotous red BMW coupe.

Dare to love this girl's liking for cars, which is the same as Luo Qiaoyue.

I like the wilder kind.

But then again, she's also wild.

Luo Qiaoyue compared to her, it was nothing to see.

"Let's go to the restaurant first, my parents have cooked their meals. ”

Leah started the car, Guo Yongkun couldn't refuse at all, and drove out of the parking lot with a roar.

"Is your restaurant still open?" Guo Yongkun said curiously.

Because in his opinion, Leah's annual salary of 500,000 is a real big gold collar even in the United States - this can also be seen from her scene. I really can't afford to make my parents work so hard anymore.

How tiring it is to open a restaurant, Guo Yongkun has a deep understanding.

"In the middle, I stopped for two months, I took out a loan to buy them a house in Manhattan, and I paid them back every month, but I said that I couldn't be idle, I was bored every day, and I had to go back and continue to open, what can I do?"

Leah pouted.

In her opinion, her parents are typical hard work, and they don't know how to enjoy themselves if they are blessed, so what fun can they have in this life?

She didn't know that maybe opening a restaurant and satisfying the taste buds of customers with their own food was the greatest pleasure for her parents.

"If you let them do nothing and stay at home every day, they will definitely not be idle. In addition, your parents are not very old, so there has to be a process for everything, and the restaurant can continue to open, but you can shorten the opening hours a little bit and stop being as tired as before. Guo Yongkun said with a smile.

"That's what I thought, too. So now the restaurant is mainly cooking Chinese food, and it closes at 8 o'clock in the evening, but it's okay, I didn't hear them say that they were tired. ”

After Leah finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the restaurant is rented to someone else at night." ”

"Lease it to someone else to continue the business?"

Guo Yongkun said in his heart that you will be careful in business.

"No, no, how can it be. Leah shook her head and said, "If you really do this, you have to mess with it." Whether it's rented to others to make movies or TV series or something, it's you Chinese, they seem to have an important venue in a restaurant. ”

"Oh?" Guo Yongkun was surprised, "We Chinese, what are we shooting?"

"I heard my dad tell me......" Leah tilted her head and thought about it before she slapped the steering wheel and said, "That's right, it seems to be called." ”

"North? ”

"Yes, yes, it's Jing. Leah nodded a few times and said, "My dad said it was the capital." ”

At this time, Guo Yongkun's lips moved, and he was already stunned.

Is it such a coincidence?

But when I think about it, it seems that ...... It's not a coincidence.

This once sensational TV series directed by Bruce Cheng and Feng Xiaogang was indeed filmed in New York, and it was the first overseas filming drama in the history of my country.

And most of its attractions, including where the protagonists rent, are in Chinatown.

And there are indeed a lot of kitchen and restaurant shots in it, so they have to find a restaurant to cooperate in shooting. And Leah's house happened to shorten its business hours and close at 8 o'clock in the evening because it was not bad for money, which was definitely the best choice for the crew.

Because Guo Yongkun has been in New York's Chinatown, restaurants there usually close late. So if they don't find Leah's house, they will most likely need to stay up late a lot to shoot.

Counting the time, it seems that it was released in 1992, and now it is almost 1991...... It also coincides.

[You hate New York, I hate you.

Why don't you go to me?

Busy!

Busy with what?

Survive. 】

In an instant, Guo Yongkun unconsciously had a lot of pictures in his mind, as well as some classic quotations, and a sense of sadness from the glitz and conflict between the gold rush dream and Manhattan filled his heart.

He actually rarely watches TV series because it takes too much time, but he has watched this TV series no less than three times before and after.

It's really well shot.

Although it makes people's hearts sour after reading it, it also brings a lot of thinking.

In the golden city of New York, foreign gold diggers are like duckweed on the sea, without conversion, as the characters in the play say: I can't become an American, and I have long forgotten what Chinese are like.

Years later, however, Lady Liberty still stares haughtily at dreamers from all over the world, and groups of Chinese leave JFK Airport.

They come with hope, but how many people can make that dream come true?

Mixed up, won't go back.

Mixed up, no face back.

Return ......

There is no return date.

"Hope to see it. Guo Yongkun said.

"That's not easy. ”

Leah smiled: "Let's eat slowly, they will come at 8 o'clock, they are very punctual." Of course, I think the main thing is to save money, and they look miserable anyway. If it weren't for the machines there, just looking at their appearance, they would definitely not be able to tell that they were engaged in art. ”

Guo Yongkun sighed, but it was not surprising, thinking about the domestic economy and the situation of the film and television industry in recent years, you know that when you come to the United States to shoot a TV series, you don't know the money made by the director, which requires foreign exchange.

There will certainly be no abundance of funds.
