Chapter 133: A Different Way, Citibank's Page Design!
Mr. Pei Luming, President of Citibank in Hong Kong, looked at four or five design drawings in a row, and although each one was beautiful and distinctive, none of them could fully meet his requirements.
He needed more than just a feng shui building, it should be beautiful, decent, and practical!
A large number of Xiangjiang feng shui designers are very troubled by this!
In fact, it was they who entered the ideological misunderstanding, and they forgot that Bei Luming was an American, with a very different cultural background, and the difference in aesthetic senses.
There are too many Chinese elements in the design patterns of the Feng Shui master of Hong Kong, and although it has a striking effect for Bei Luming, it is difficult for him to identify with it from the heart.
Although Laomei is a diverse nation, it prefers to learn from and absorb the culture of other countries. But Lao Mei has the pride of Lao Mei, they have dominated the world for half a century, and they are exporting culture to the world!
These designs are classic, but they lack American elements!
So Bei Luming subconsciously resisted!
This is also the fundamental reason why Citibank's design has been hanging in the balance!
It is not difficult to build a feng shui building that competes with the long knife of the Bank of China, but it is also necessary to comprehensively consider many issues such as beauty, lighting, space, and the impact on the surrounding environment, and the most important thing is to let Bei Luming, the president of a foreign country, recognize!
Wang Zhong stood in the open space, looking into the distance!
The Bank of China Tower is like a long knife, the blade flashes in the daylight, and it has the posture of splitting Central in half!
Wang Zhong closed his eyes and felt that the evil aura like a blade was coming, giving people a feeling of impending disaster!
Everyone has the feeling of dancing on the blade, and no one likes to go shopping under the blade, stop. After all, "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" is an ancient adage that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is the instinct of human beings to seek good fortune and avoid evil!
The Bank of China Building has not yet been completed, but its evil spirit has already been generated, and the business of the shops pointed out by the blade has been affected, and many shops have put up signs that they are closed.
More of them are playing "clearance sales" and "jumping sales". Slogans such as "Liquidation at a loss"!
However, the number of customers patronized in this way is still very limited, and the owner of each shop has a sad face on his face, looking at the towering Bank of China Building, his eyes are full of resentment and helplessness!
There can be many reasons for poor management, but Feng Shui plays a big role in it.
In order to block the evil energy brought by the blade. Merchants can be described as the means to the end, gossip mirrors, plants, lions, shields. But the effect is very small, not because the method is wrong, but because the energy is disproportionate!
How can a small mirror and a stone lion compete with a building that spans the sky and the earth!
Water can extinguish fire, this is common knowledge that everyone knows, a match. A mouthful of saliva can be extinguished. But if it's a raging fire, can a mouthful of saliva extinguish it?
The answer is no!
The same goes for Feng Shui!
"Boss, these businesses are so good. Is there any way you can help them?"
Mary looked at the business that was struggling to operate, and said with some unbearability in her heart.
"Alas!"
Wang Zhong's eyes also showed a trace of unbearability, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!
Manpower is sometimes exhausted!
Feng Shui is not omnipotent!
"There's only one way to move out!"
Wang Zhong sighed and said.
"This street used to be very busy, but it's a pity!"
Mary looked at the shop that was cold and business was depressed. Said with some pity.
"Remember, wait until they move out. Eat them all!"
Wang Zhong observed for a while, and whispered to Mary.
“why?”
Mary looked shocked and disbelieving.
"The feng shui here is so bad. Why buy it?"
"Although it is not suitable for clothing, catering and other industries, it is suitable for hospitals, clinics, clothing processing and other industries related to knives, scissors and other sharp tools!"
Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"I decided to build a public welfare hospital here!"
"I've never heard you mention this idea!"
Mary looked at Wang Zhong with some surprise.
"I just came up with it, and this idea should be good!"
"And I will integrate all the businesses and re-carry out the construction planning, which is also a whole thing, and the overall strength will be improved a lot, as long as it is combined with feng shui, it can completely compete with the long knife of the Bank of China!"
The more Wang Zhong spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes revealed a terrifying light.
"I really don't know what to say about you!"
Mary looked at Wang Zhong with a speechless face. Such a big decision turned out to be a temporary idea!
Wang Zhong understood Mary's thoughts, after all, this investment seems to be a bit of a child's play, but Wang Zhong believes that this investment is worth it, building a public welfare hospital is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, and this place is in a prime location, if it is not injured by the "long knife", it will definitely be a treasure land that makes money every day!
If you design according to your own ideas, turn evil into wealth, and the land price here will soar just around the corner!
"If you are rich, you are capricious!"
Wang Zhong secretly said a well-known saying in his heart!
I'm rich, I'm willful!
"What if they don't sell it?"
Mary looked at the shop in front of her and voiced her concerns.
"Then wait for them to go bankrupt!"
Wang Zhong's voice was very soft, but Mary felt the chill in it, and her body couldn't help but stiffen.
"With the completion of the Bank of China Tower, the business here will only get worse and worse, and the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain!
Wang Zhong muttered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
After some on-site investigation, Wang Zhong still didn't have any good ideas in his mind, so he decided to meet Bei Luming and listen to the Citibank president's thoughts in person.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing Wang Zhong's arrival, Bei Luming got up with a smile and greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Bei Luming, I'm glad to see you!"
"Mr. Wang, you are not the most famous feng shui master I have ever met, but you are the richest. Most successful! writer, screenwriter, rancher, banker, martial artist. President of the Taoist Association, you are God's favorite, and you are so good in every industry!"
Bei Luming touched his vicissitudes of life, looked at Wang Zhong and said with a smile:
"The most important thing is that you are still so young, and your youth makes me jealous!"
"Mr. Berlumin. You're too famous! I wouldn't dare call you a banker in front of you!"
Wang Zhong smiled and waved his hand, and said very self-awarely.
HSBC in 1983 was only a regional bank, compared to Citibank, one of the world's top five banks with a global presence. It can be said that there is a world of difference!
"Mr. Wang, you are too modest. You Chinese are very fond of modesty, unlike us Americans!"
Bei Luming poured a cup of coffee for Wang Zhong and said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Mary thanked Bellumin for her coffee.
"Mr. Wang, this young lady is very beautiful, you are really blessed!"
Bellumin glanced at Mary and said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Wang Zhong smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"I thought you'd continue to be humble!"
Bei Luming glanced at Wang Zhong with some surprise and said with a smile.
"Miss Mary is very beautiful, and it is an honor for me to be favored by her. So I want to cherish it and make her happy!"
Wang Zhong glanced at Mary and said affectionately.
Mary felt like a beauty made of chocolate. It's about to melt into Wang Zhong's affection!
Her heart was filled with happiness!
"Great, Mr. Wang, you are the most interesting and romantic Chinese I have ever met!"
Bei Luming gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.
"In our West there is a kind of chocolate called Dove. He is the abbreviation of English doareyoulove, which contains a deep ** love story. Because I don't have the courage to confess. Two ** people regret it for life. This chocolate is a reminder to be brave enough to say it!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Zhong smiled and nodded with Bei Luming. Then he looked at Mary affectionately.
“iloveyou!”
Mary also looked at Wang Zhong affectionately, the eyes of the two met in the air, lingering, and the whole space was filled with a faint taste of happiness!
"Cheers to ** love!"
Bei Luming looked at the two with a smile and said silently in his heart.
He seems to have been brought back to his youth and thought of that intoxicating love affair!
"Mr. Bei Luming, I made you laugh!"
Wang Zhong looked at Bei Luming with some embarrassment.
"No, Mr. Wang, I want to thank you, because you remind me of the sweetness of **love!"
Bei Luming waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Don't look at my age, but my heart is not old!"
"I'm still longing for the advent of **love, and I'm sure I'll find the truth!"
Wang Zhong glanced at Bei Luming with some envy, Westerners are very eager for **love, and it is not surprising that they do anything crazy for **love!
"Mr. Bei Luming, we are a little off-topic, we should talk about the design drawings of Citibank Xiangjiang headquarters!"
Wang Zhong coughed a few times in embarrassment and said with a smile.
"Yes, it's working time, I'm sorry!"
Bei Luming shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:
"I've seen a lot of Citibank's feng shui plans, but none of them have satisfied me. To put it mildly, their designs are too ordinary to reflect Citi's culture. I don't think their design can be a coordinate building!"
"I needed something impressive, unforgettable! When someone thinks of Citibank, they think of it first!"
"Iconic building!"
Wang Zhong concluded.
"Yes, that's what I want, I need a landmark!"
Bei Luming's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
"The Bank of China Tower is famous for its knife-shaped building, the bronze lion in front of HSBC is the symbol of Hong Kong, and the headquarters of Citibank is very ordinary, do you know what I mean?"
"What do you mean is that the new headquarters building is comparable to the Bank of China Tower, and can even become a classic representative of Hong Kong-style architecture!"
Wang Zhong frowned and slowly combed through.
"Yes, you're absolutely right, that's what I need!"
Bei Luming smiled and nodded, with a look of agreement.
"Mr. Pei Luming, every classic building is formed by chance, your requirements are too arduous, few people in Xiangjiang can complete it!"
Wang Zhong said with a headache.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, as long as it can meet my requirements, the remuneration is negotiable!"
Bei Luming also knew that his request was excessive, and said with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Beamming, you like to read Marx's Das Kapital?"
Wang Zhong rubbed his swollen head, and looked at the layout of Bei Luming's office somewhat casually, behind the tall and wide boss's desk was a tall bookshelf, on which were placed a lot of financial books.
One of them thought it had just been turned over, and the pages were opened, revealing pages of flowers and dense English. On the title page of the book is the work of Marx in Capital!
In front of the desk was a low coffee table, and Wang Zhong knew that this seemingly ordinary placement actually contained a mystery.
The tall bookshelf is backed by the mountain for Xuanwu, and the low coffee table is the case sand!
The seats on both sides of the coffee table are like two strong arms, forming an encirclement.
In line with the embrace in Feng Shui!
The seat is located on the left and right of the main seat, and it is an artificial green dragon, a white tiger!
There is a fish tank in the open space in front of the coffee table, and the red bird is soaring!
Bei Luming's office is full of all kinds of things, and it looks like a master's handiwork!
This Mr. Bei Luming does not reject feng shui as rumored by the outside world, he is really a bitch, and he has to set up an archway, Wang Zhong thought with some fun in his heart!
But this is also related to Lao Mei's character, with radishes in one hand and sticks in the other!
To be honest, now I am very curious about the economic models of the Soviet Union and China in socialist countries, and I would like to go for a walk and have a look at it when I have time!"
Bei Luming glanced at the open "Capital" and said with a smile.
"The United States and the Soviet Union are engaged in a cold war, and you have no chance to go for the time being. However, if Mr. Bei Luming wants to visit China, I think the Chinese government will also welcome it, Chinese mainland is now undergoing reform and opening up, and investors from all over the world are welcome to conduct investigation and research!"
Wang Zhong glanced at Bei Luming and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I will go if I have the chance!"
Bei Luming smiled and thanked him.
"After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1976, I wanted to visit that mysterious country, but for various reasons, I never made the trip!"
Wang Zhong smiled and Bei Luming smiled and nodded, indicating that they agreed with his point of view.
Wang Zhong's gaze subconsciously scanned the books on Bei Luming's bookshelf, and suddenly, his gaze stopped, and he couldn't move it!
"Mr. Wang, do you have any questions?"
Bei Luming looked at Wang Zhong's dull gaze and turned his head in some surprise, but he didn't notice it at all, and finally could only ask quietly.
"Mr. Bei Luming, there is nothing wrong with your bookshelf, but your collection of books gives me an inspiration!"
Wang Zhong looked at the open "Capital" and said excitedly.
"Mr. Bei Luming, I would like to borrow your book to make a demonstration for you!"
"Of course!"
Although Bei Luming didn't figure it out, he still agreed to Wang Zhong's request without hesitation.
Wang Zhong separates the pages, and the two hard covers form a 90-degree angle. The book also stood firmly on Bei Luming's desk because of the stability of the triangle.
"This is the headquarters of Citibank in my mind!"
Wang Zhong pointed to the standing book and said seriously. (To be continued)
