Chapter 1714: A Tough Challenge
Sometimes, grades aren't everything.
The New York Knicks, for example, have never had a brilliant record for more than 40 years after winning two championships in the '70s.
Sometimes, grades aren't everything.
The New York Knicks, for example, have never been brilliant since the '70s.
But in 2017, its annual profit was the highest in the N.BA, reaching $367 million!
You know, the rest of the N.BA teams don't have so much profit at all.
The lowest is only one-tenth or one-twentieth of the New York Knicks, and there are all losses.
There's only one reason why the New York Knicks make money.
Just look at the top of the line.
New York!
The world's largest city, the world's richest city, there are countless rich people here, consumption is very strong, almost worthy of a medium-sized country!
Therefore, although the New York Knicks have poor results, there are many people who watch and support them, and naturally people make a lot of money.
This has left many teams with good results speechless.
Sure enough, this world is still a society that looks at faces!
It doesn't matter how bad your New York Knicks are, but people just make money, how can they drop?
Just like the Los Angeles Lakers, when people don't have good results, the first, second and third rows of the VIP seats are all devastating stars, and it is not a problem to find a few Oscar-level ones.
So this is also the reason why Yin Jun chose to buy the New York Knicks.
But on the matter of the team's relocation, he didn't listen to anyone's advice, including David Stern's well-intentioned dissuasion.
Of course, they don't know that the New York metropolitan area in 2020 and the current year of 1984 are not the same concept.
Although at that time, Madison Garden Square Arena was still the center of downtown New York, but there were many other economically developed and populous areas.
The area selected by Yin Jun is the famous commercial area in the future, which was purchased when he chose to build the Kirin Cinema Line 3 years ago.
It's just that it's still a less prosperous land, but it's still on the corner of Manhattan Island.
The choice of Manhattan Island resulted in this land being the most expensive of the 100 plots of land in all the Kirin Cinema Line.
Yin Jun also has a huge plan, he wants to rely on the New York Kirin's home stadium to develop this place into a bustling business district in advance.
It can not only drive concerts, performances, etc., but also drive the Kirin Cinema Line and Kirin Commercial Plaza.
In addition, there are hundreds of acres of land that can be used for commercial development value, which is at least tens of billions of dollars in profits.
New York, which claims to be every inch of land, is not just talking!
The only obstacle to these profits is time, and it will take 30 years for this area to be so valuable.
No matter how good the investment is, you still need to wait patiently to get the best harvest.
Of course, planning and design are very important in terms of how much benefit can be obtained.
So Yin Jun went to visit Pei Yuming, who was also in New York City.
The world's most famous architect, the first time he saw Yin Jun, he was a wry smile.
"Mr. Yin, I'm regretting it now, why should I make a bet with you. Pei Yuming sighed and said, "Knowing that you are an incomparably accurate person, how can I doubt that your guess will be wrong?"
Yin Jun smiled when he heard this.
Pei Yuming is talking about a bet between the two last year.
Yin Jun spent a lot of money and invited Pei Yuming to do the overall venue design and planning of the Huajing Asian Games.
At that time, Pei Yuming felt that they were doing useless work, and even in the United States, he knew that Japan's Hiroshima was only one step away from successfully bidding to host the 1990 Asian Games.
So he agreed to bet with Yin Jun, and if he lost, then he would take over a design job commissioned by Yin Jun.
The commissioned design also has to be paid, and it is his own advantage to win or lose anyway, so Pei Yuming didn't care much.
At the beginning of June this year, when the Asian Committee's second meeting to meet the standards was held in Singapore, Hiroshima unexpectedly announced that it had withdrawn from the competition for the host of the 90 th Asian Games, and China, as the only remaining candidate country, naturally won the right to host the 1990 Asian Games.
At the same time, while the whole country was jubilant, China also announced its full support for Japan's application for the right to host Hiroshima in 1994.
As a Chinese overseas, Pei Yuming is naturally happy that his motherland has won the right to host the Asian Games.
Especially this time, the overall design of the stadium and road is from his handwriting, and it will definitely leave his traces in the future history, which is also a great honor.
But he never expected that the day after the results came out, Le Yiling, the president of Kirin Group, found him.
On that day, Pei Yuming clearly remembered that the fax machine spit out thousands of drawings, all of which were from Lantau Island, Xiangjiang.
It was also during those days that the Kirin Group acquired 20 square kilometers of land on Lantau Island, and they ambitiously wanted to build a site of their own.
This would have been a good thing!
But when it comes to Pei Yuming's body, it looks a little depressed.
Very simply, the victory of Yin Jun and his bet was to ask Pei Yuming to help get the overall design of the 20 square kilometers.
As soon as he heard this request and saw so many drawings, Pei Yuming could only smile bitterly.
That's 20 square kilometers!
He had never designed such a large complex of buildings in his life, and it was like building a town.
But on the other hand, after a little depression, Pei Yuming was also a little excited in his heart.
Because he had never done it before, it was a great challenge for him.
When it comes to Pei Yuming's current status, it is difficult for him to make ordinary projects work, that is, he is too lazy to use his brains more, just do it in a decent manner.
That is, the design of the last Huajing Asian Games made him play a good role, and it was widely recognized all over the world, which made him very proud.
Now there is a design that is even more complex and huge than the Huajing Asian Games, which is definitely hellish level of difficulty, but it just happens to make Pei Yuming the focus of the world again, and even become the king of unique design!
Think about it!
Decades later, when people look at the vast and poetic Lantau Island complex, won't they admire him as a designer?
Besides, Yin Jun is not a person who doesn't give money, and he is originally a very generous person.
Even Le Yiling, who has always had a reputation for being stingy, also told Pei Yuming directly this time, only seeking the best design, and ignoring the design cost.
Pei Yuming's favorite is such an employer.
Therefore, even if he has not officially replied yet, he is inclined to take on this task in his heart.
It happened that Yin Jun came to the United States and New York at this time, and Pei Yuming saw this heroic young man, and subconsciously sighed.
"Actually, I took advantage of it. Yin Jun said politely, "This commission may take you a year or two, Mr. Bei, and it is indeed too hard." ”
Yin Jun said this, Pei Yuming was a little embarrassed, "Hehe, it's not hard, we are designers, firstly, we have a thought for the works to stay in the world, and secondly, it is also to make money!
Listening to his words, Yin Jun also smiled and nodded.
Since Pei Yuming has already agreed, he is really looking forward to his headquarters area, what is it like!
The most powerful thing about Pei Yuming is not how dazzling his style is, but that he can design works that best fit the temperament of this place according to the characteristics of this place and the inheritance of these cultures and regions.
That's why he's called a master!
"Speaking of which, I'm here this time, and I want to trouble you a little bit. Yin Jun smiled, "Do you know that I bought the New York Knicks and renamed them the New York Kirins?"
"Know!" Pei Yuming said.
As a New Yorker, the New York City basketball team has changed owners, and of course he knows it.
Especially when it was Yin Jun who bought the New York Knicks, Pei Yuming paid more attention to it.
"I went to inquire and found that the owner of the Madison Garden Plaza Arena was reluctant to sell, and I wasn't in the habit of sharing a home stadium with others. "In addition, I bought a piece of land here in Manhattan two years ago, and there is enough space, so I want to build a new comprehensive gymnasium here." ”
As Yin Jun spoke, he took out a stack of materials from his bag, including the location where he bought the land, as well as the introduction of the environment on the left, photo materials, and some requirements.
Pei Yuming took it and looked at it, and said in a deep voice, "Are you going to let me help you design this new gymnasium?"
"Yes!"
Yin Jun said, "Since you want to make a new gymnasium, you must do the best! And in this regard, you are an expert, so I want to ask you to help." ”
Pei Yuming pondered for a while and said, "I may not have that much time recently, because I took a job in Canada, and then I have to go to the overall design of Lantau Island of the Kirin Group. So I'll design the shape and interior layout for you, and I'll ask my eldest son to do it for you in terms of the rest of the details...... Of course, I'm going to check and check it in the end, what do you think?"
"Good!"
Yin Jun did not hesitate.
Pei Yuming's eldest son is also a design master, and his achievements are not as good as his father's, but he is also a handsome man.
Especially the most important design such as the appearance, Pei Yuming did it himself, and there is nothing to say.
A good gymnasium can become a local landmark.
For example, the Allianz Arena in Bayern Munich and the Bernabeu Stadium in Real Madrid are the same.
Yin Jun has the most powerful team in the future N.BA, as well as the most modern and dazzling stadium in the future N.BA, and it is impossible not to have a great reputation in the United States!
And with such an influential team, Yin Jun's social status in the United States, as well as various influences, are no less than the role played by an entertainment tycoon!
