Jack Ma returned to China.

With hope on the Internet.

Doing a company online is definitely promising!

He will sell his translation agency and gather 18 Arhats, his wives, relatives, students, and friends to start an Internet business.

Establish the Huaxia Yellow Pages Company, and go around like a salesman.

Li Jun established the American Dragon Investment Company, established the Huaxia Dragon Investment Company, and bought the shares of many Internet technology giants.

He invited Master Pei to design the JuneYao Building for himself.

The last time I visited I.M. Pei, he was in France, and now the front desk called, saying that Master Pei had returned to the United States.

Li Jun immediately prepared to visit.

Architecture, not only the brick box used for human habitation, architecture has emotions, the life of architecture is its beauty, the architect Louis Barragan once said that it is very important for human beings, if there are many solutions to a problem, one of which conveys beauty and emotion to the user is architecture.

For example, the Taj Mahal, the Taj Mahal is such a building, a tear on the eternal cheek.

She is a commemoration of Princess Ajman, a woman from Persia, beautiful, intelligent, and versatile, who entered the palace for 19 years and witnessed the glory and disgrace of King Shah Jahan with her life.

King Shah Jahan named her "Taj Mahal", which means "the crown of the court", which can be described as the favor of three thousand. It's a pity that regardless of China and abroad, since ancient times, Taj died after giving birth to a child. When the news of his death came, Shah Jahan turned white overnight. No matter how galloping the king is, there are times when he is weak and powerless, he can make the crowd submit with a wave of his hand, but he can't retain the watery tenderness of the pillow.

So, a grieving husband used the privileges of the royal family, poured the power of the country, spent countless money, and spent 11 years to write this magnificent sound for his beloved wife.

As the famous American writer Mark Twain said, the power of love shook everyone at the Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is one of the World Heritage Sites. It showcases the world's highest level of architectural design at that time, reflecting the best architectural art and style.

It is an artistic treasure of India, a pearl of India, and a perfect architecture.

King Shah Jahan took great pains to build such a magnificent and magnificent mausoleum for his favorite concubine at all costs, which shows that his love for his favorite concubine was deep.

King Shah Jahan was deposed from the throne by his son shortly after the Taj Mahal was built, and was imprisoned in the castle of Agra, where he spent his later years looking at the Taj Mahal every day until he died of grief and depression. After his death, he was buried in the Taj Mahal along with his favorite concubine. So the Taj Mahal was born out of love, and it is also perfect because of love, and it is a great monument to love.

It is a testimony of the love of a generation of kings, telling the world their love story, which is the story of architecture.

Architecture can express love, architecture can also convey the power of morale, such as the triumphal arch, such as the Bird's Nest of later generations in China, the Three Gorges Dam, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, those buildings are the symbol of the spirit of China, towering China, so that the world is amazed by the birth of architectural miracles one by one.

I.M. Pei Architects, Li Jun has come to the door.

Seeing the master architect who was recited by later generations, in Li Jun's view, he was just a businessman with a halo of honor.

"Hello, Mr. Li from Huaxia. ”

I.M. Pei welcomed.

"Hello, Mr. Pei, I have long admired your name. ”

"You're welcome. ”

……

I.M. Pei brought Li Jun to the office.

"Mr. Li, tell me about your project?"

"I wanted to build the company's group building, 52 floors, 218 meters high, with an investment of more than $300 million. ”

300 million US dollars, more than 1 billion yuan, is a very large number in this era of China.

"I don't know what Mr. Li wants?"

"The name of the group is Junyao Building, all of them are my names, Yao is a woman I like, reflecting my love for him, reflecting my feelings of missing her in the building, in addition, as a group building, it is atmospheric, reflecting the strength of the group. ”

"I don't know sir, what kind of industry is it?"

"JuneYao Group is a comprehensive investment, from production and processing to sales, finance, real estate and other aspects, but it is mainly reflected in the technology Internet industry, the group is dominated by the technology Internet, and the building will also be located in Zhongguancun, China. ”

"Well, I will also conduct field research, integrate the surrounding environment, and make a specific design plan, and my design will respect the opinions of the client, but also need the client's full trust in us architects. ”

"That's nature. ”

"According to my on-site inspection, I made a reasonable budget for Mr. Li, and the design fee of my company is 8.5% of the cost, if it is 300 million US dollars, it will be 25.5 million US dollars at that time, I don't know if Mr. Li can accept it?"

Fame is money, ordinary designers dare to ask for this, a million dollars can definitely get it, but as the most powerful modern architect in the United States, and he is also a master-level figure, this asking price, Americans feel that this is reasonable.

Because I.M. Pei is not only responsible for designing engineering drawings, but also includes many others, such as the design of the Bank of China Building on Hong Kong Island, the owner only pays the design fee to the Pei office, and the company pays for the structural and equipment engineers at its own expense, that is, it spends money on other professional firms for each part of the design.

This kind of is different from Huaxia, everything is done by yourself, saving money, but the United States is more competitive and conducive to the architect's high-level design.

For example, in the Bank of China Building on Hong Kong Island, the structural engineer I.M. Pei is looking for Wedlinger Engineers, and the equipment engineer is looking for ** The engineering firm, the Chinese design unit is the Comprehensive Design Institute of the Huaxia Academy of Building Research, which was decided by I.M. Pei through bidding, and the design fee is also paid by I.M. Pei forty or fifty, so that a large number of design fees of I.M. Pei are paid to other companies, and the detailed social division of labor in the United States, architects, structural engineering fees, and design engineers are also seen separately, so that architects, structural engineers, and equipment engineers have the opportunity to choose between two-way choices.

Choosing from a wide range of structural, equipment engineering firms, this creates competition, and the best firms stand out, making it possible to solve difficult structural and equipment problems, thus paving the way for architects to realize their bold ideas and create the conditions for high-level design.

Like Huaxia's own design, its own structure, equipment design, one-stop, because the company must have shortcomings, and then the artistry of the design and construction of the building is greatly reduced, but the United States is so specialized, looking for the best professional company in all aspects, to avoid this problem.

So for this offer, Li Jun is not a little surprised.

But the man next to him blew up.

"Damn, what kind of designer, vampire, a design fee, more than 20 million US dollars for drawing drawings, according to the current exchange rate is 5.7 to 1, that is more than 100 million yuan!"
