Mr. McCord personally contacted the land, Manhattan Island has been developed for more than a century, and there are only so many lands that are willing to be sold, and they can always be found by asking someone.

After becoming the executive of Tamsui Investment Group, he met many people with his social talents, such as the real estate tycoon who lived upstairs from Ye Dongqing's house.

It's strange to say, it's obviously a neighbor, but Ye Dongqing has lived here for so long, and he hasn't seen each other once, as if he has the will (harmony) in the dark and doesn't want the two to get involved, but he doesn't have much interest in that guy, so it doesn't matter if he knows him or not.

Mr. McCord showed 100% enthusiasm for the construction of the building, and called the other party on the spot, and learned that there were good plots of land, but the price was generally high, and there were restrictions on the height of the building, and there were many doorways inside.

Ye Dongqing called Mr. Bloomberg, saying that there were some things that needed to be discussed with him face-to-face, not a business matter, and when he learned that the other party was in the city hall at the moment, he immediately took his coat and went downstairs, and asked McCord to continue to ask, it is best to send someone to inspect it, it doesn't matter in terms of price, the New York property market has not been in a big bubble recently, and it is really not possible to buy an old building and tear it down and build it again.

I went to the architectural design office first, and got the first draft from them that I worked overtime to get out in a hurry, the real building has just started to be designed, he just wants Bloomberg to know what it looks like, the building that has been rendered by color is very beautiful, there are any colors, Ye Dongqing picked two to bring on, one with red and black color, and one with yellow and black color.

Originally, I thought that red and black were already quite evil, but after seeing the dark green concept map, I found that making the building this color was more like a snake, Ye Dongqing was disgusted, and directly passed the other colors. Prepare to choose one of red, black and yellow, preferably the one that can change several colors, with black as the main color, so that it looks pretty cool, like a steel monster from some science fiction movie.

Without staying in the architectural design office for a long time, let them get the design plan out as soon as possible, Ye Dongqing got into the car again with two rolled drawings and drove to New York City Hall in Downtown......

The explosion of wealth is largely due to the success of Facebook, and every increase in valuation means that his paper wealth has increased, and his worth has approached that of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who founded Bloomberg News, and he is one of the most successful businessmen in New York.

No one knew what Ye Dongqing's potential was, and when he came to the city hall, many people greeted him warmly, and an assistant personally led him to the door of Mr. Bloomberg's office.

After knocking on the door and walking in, the two shook hands warmly, and Mr. Bloomberg's eyes focused on Ye Dongqing's left hand, and asked, "Why do you have time to come to me?" I haven't seen you here before, so you're very welcome. ”

"Isn't there something I want to ask for your help, sir, I'm going to build a new skyscraper in Manhattan, the kind of tall building that will replace the Empire State Building as the new landmark of New York, you know the image of the Empire State Building right now, it's really bad. ”

"How tall is the building?"

"500 meters or 600 meters, when the time comes, look at the cost and then decide, I want to know if the city hall has any restrictions in this regard, if the tallest building in the United States is placed in Manhattan, it is also good news for you, sir, after all, there are not many investors like me who only care about the building itself, and do not consider the cost of it.

Before you see this blueprint, it's best to be a little bit prepared, as I just said, it's a really cool building, but maybe not everyone will be okay with it, and I'm going to name it Cobra Building. ”

Ye Dongqing was vaccinated in advance, which made Mr. Bloomberg's expression suspicious, and now he is very worried that the building is the image of a cobra, in Western culture, snakes often represent evil, such as the snake that tricked Adam Eva into eating an apple in the Bible, such as various evil snake symbols in the Middle Ages, etc.

If so, Mr. Bloomberg felt that most of the people of New Yorkers would not approve of the building being built in New York, and that no one wanted to look up and see a building that disgusted them.

After putting on the glasses, he opened the design drawings, and after reading them with a surprised face, he said to Ye Dongqing: "I usually think snakes are disgusting, but this building does not disgust me, on the contrary, I think it is more beautiful, but my opinion is not of much use, this design style is a little risky."

I probably won't give you any positive answer until I've done my research and heard what the people of New York think, but I can imagine what it will look like when it's built, and maybe the young people will support you, where are you going to build it?"

Bloomberg probably guessed why Ye Dongqing came to visit him before building the building, the Cobra Building is different from other skyscrapers of different shapes, its image will cause a lot of controversy, no matter which city the mayor is, it is impossible to casually agree to build such a building in the city he manages, so he didn't wait for Ye Dongqing to ask, and first said his true thoughts.

"Where Midtown is near the East River, or near the new World Trade Center, or near Central Park, I think it's okay.

There will be high-end hotels, bars and nightclubs, high-end restaurants, top apartments for rent, etc., and you can also park helicopters in the mind, which is generally like a cobra-shaped trophy, and there will be a two- or three-storey circular shopping mall underneath. ”

Ye Dongqing paused for a moment and continued: "You can also change its name to Solomon Tower, the legend says that the cobra is a sacred beast that guards him, and it is a symbol of positive and sunny in ancient Egyptian culture, if I fix its color to yellow, it may look more sunny and positive." ”

To be honest, he himself is entangled, and it can already be predicted that after the design drawings are released, it will inevitably cause heated discussions among New York residents, even if it is just to change the impression of this building in people's minds, so that people do not feel that it represents "evil", which can be regarded as good news for Ye Dongqing.

No way, apart from this building, he has no interest in other shapes of buildings, not even the Candle in the Wind Building in Dubai or the Spiral Tower in Chicago.

Mayor Bloomberg shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help Ye Dongqing, "You should come up with a few cooler concept maps, and then ask young New Yorkers on the Internet, if you really make up your mind to build this building, I can provide you with some small help."

After changing to a positive snake god, it will indeed make people more comfortable, you should check more myths and legends and come up with a better name......"
