Chapter 1136: Why Pull You?
On the sea between the "Qingzhou Island" in Clear Water Bay and the Clear Water Bay Country Park, an artificial island covering an area of 10 hectares appeared, and at the same time, a skyscraper rose from the ground and reached into the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This island and skyscraper are the world's first hotels proposed by Fang Yuanshan and Bao Hongtu. It took two and a half years from the proposal to the design and construction, which is half the time cost compared to the "Burj Al Arab" in Dubai, which took five years to build.
However, it has to be mentioned that the reason why it took 5 years to reclaim the Burj Al Arab was that it took too long to reclaim the sea. At the beginning, the Xiangjiang government had already pushed forward the reclamation project on the Qingshui Bay side, and even bulldozed the "Qingzhou Island," which in itself saved them a lot of time.
Another reason is that the Burj Al Arab was built in the nineties, and compared to this hotel that uses a lot of new materials and new construction methods, the Burj Al Arab is already a bit out.
Today, on this island 300 meters from the coast, the newly decorated grand banquet hall in front of the hotel is full of people dressed up to attend the event, including Hong Kong political and economic celebrities, cultural celebrities, famous film and television singers and reporters at home and abroad.
The guests at the banquet table below whispered from time to time, and the soothing music in the hall drowned out the cacophony of sounds. When the clock hand pointed to six o'clock in the evening, a host came up from behind the main stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the unveiling ceremony hosted by Wanlan House. On behalf of Yuanshan Group and Wanlan House, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the guests~"
“ladiesandgentlemen,weleyoutothewanlan。。。 ”
"Bang Bang ... ”
The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and those film and television singers who seemed very reserved in front of reporters and media applauded vigorously at this time, including those celebrities in the business world.
No wonder they are so enthusiastic, just look at who is sitting next to them.
The front row table is full of political bigwigs, chairmen of listed companies, and respected seniors in the cultural circles. There are many CEOs of companies from various countries in Xiangjiang in the middle row, and there are countless others like world song queens, pop kings, and famous directors.
The leopard can be seen in the tube. If nothing else, it is a status symbol to be able to hold an event in this hotel in the future, so when will it not be hard to applaud at this time?
The host wearing a red cheongsam on stage is the chief press officer of Wanlan House, and is also responsible for crisis public relations. Today's scene is probably the only time she has seen it in her life. Under the rendering of the light, her face floated burgundy.
She waited until the applause from the audience gradually subsided before she smiled and continued: "As we all know, our hotel has 66 floors and is 376 meters high, which is 55 meters higher than the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, and it is the world's first hotel. In addition, it uses a large number of new technologies, so that guests can feel the charm of high technology all the time. ”
Speaking of this, she paused and said: "As for what is the charm of this hotel, I will invite the world-famous architect Mr. Bei Jinming to explain it in detail to you." ”
"Bang Bang ... ”
Amid the warm applause in the venue, an old gentleman sitting in the front row stood up, turned around and waved to the guests in the venue, and then walked slowly towards the main podium.
Mr. "Ben Jinming" is also a legend, and his works are classified as modernist architecture. Make good use of steel, concrete, glass and stone. His representative buildings include the East Wing of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the expansion of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. He is known as "the last master of modern architecture".
He was also awarded the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects in 1979, the Gold Medal of French Architecture in 1981, the Imperial Prize of Japan in 198.9, the 5th Pritzker Prize in 1983, and the Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan in 1986. As for the rest of the medals, they are already countless.
At the beginning, in terms of the selection of the hotel's chief designer, the project team was worried about it. It's not that no one thought of Bei Jinming, the key is that this old gentleman is 90 years old, and it is still a question whether he can walk around the road and whether he is willing to go out of the mountain.
However, when he heard that Xiangjiang was going to build the world's first hotel, the old gentleman stood up for it, and his design fee was beyond everyone's expectations: a symbolic charge of 1 Xiangjiang coin.
"What I would say about this hotel is that it is a miracle built by man. As for what exactly is the charm of it, I believe that the guests who will stay in the future will give the best answer. Thank you~" The old gentleman who walked on stage was concise and to the point, and walked off the stage after speaking.
"Bang Bang ... ”
"Bang Bang ... ”
When the audience reacted, the applause almost didn't remove the roof of this banquet hall, and the waves of applause lasted for a long time.
Just when a grand unveiling ceremony was being held at Clear Water Bay, Fang Yuanshan was also meeting guests in the mansion in Mid-Levels, and this guest was Zheng Yutong, the head of the Zheng family.
The tycoon had already arrived at Yongning Villa early in the morning, but Fang Yuanshan had already gone out at that time, and he didn't know when he would come back. After waiting for two hours, he didn't come back, so he had to go back first.
Originally, he planned to go to Clear Water Bay to attend the unveiling ceremony, but when he received that there was no Fang Yuanshan in the attendance list, the stubborn super-rich man rushed to the middle of the mountain after recovering his spirits.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry about what happened last night. If I don't teach the teacher strictly, I, as an elder, have not disciplined the virtues of my children and grandchildren, which is really ashamed. ”
A super-rich man with a net worth of 200 billion yuan, a jewelry tycoon who sits on an equal footing with all the super-rich in Xiangjiang, is now saying sorry to Fang Yuanshan, a young man, who else in this world can do it?
Whoever doesn't come to apologize can do it, but he can't apologize. Because he runs a gold jewelry company. Fang Yuanshan's Yuanshan Group opened gold mines, jade mines, and gold were all calculated by the ton, and it was too easy to defeat Zheng's jewelry. To put it mildly, as soon as he passed away on the front foot, Fang Yuanshan on the back foot dared to buy them Zheng's Gold Jewelry Group.
However, compared with Sun Yue'e's son, Zhou Zhenghao scolded himself. And now Fang Yuanshan doesn't really care about these things, as long as he doesn't hurt the innocent, he won't lose a piece of meat if he scolds a few words. Going back to the rest of the story, it is estimated that Zhou Zhenghao should also have received a due lesson.
"It's okay, it's over, it's okay~"
After revealing yesterday's events, two men who also stood in the pyramid of wealth began to talk.
Zheng Yutong is a real businessman of the older generation, and their code of conduct is still the style of the older generation, and they attach more importance to affection. Unlike today's people, the whole thing is lost in the eyes of money, which can be seen from the global financial crisis in 08 when he invested in "Hengda".
At that time, "Xu Jiaying" was also embattled, and he was described as an "adventurer" and "ambitious" by his ill-intentioned opponents, and was regarded by some public opinion as a "victim" of the great changes in the global real estate industry.
In the rendering of public opinion, Xu Jiaying, who has always been high-spirited, was covered with more "tragic" or "pathetic" colors. If it weren't for Zheng Yutong's help at that time, there would be nothing Xu Jiaying doing in the financial world now.
Although the media later revealed that Xu Jiaying and Zheng Yutong played for three months in exchange for the investment of "hoeing big D", in Fang Yuanshan's view, Zheng Yutong is a lover. is the same as Fang Yuanshan carrying Ji Xinou, as long as he looks at you and pulls you, why not?
And putting aside the aura on Zheng Yutong's body, walking on the street, you will definitely not believe that this person is a super-rich man worth 200 billion, he is no different from a little old man in rural China. He is not tall, not strong, looks bigger than him, and has age spots on his face.
But there is one thing, this old man speaks clearly, thinks quickly, and does not look like a person who is almost 90 years old at all.
"Hey, Lao Zheng, tell me, why did you help Xu Jiaying back then?"
Seeing Fang Yuanshan's gossip, this "Lao Zheng" took a sip of the teacup after putting down his thoughts: "Xiao Fang, you also know that my only hobby is playing cards, and I haven't changed this problem when I arrived." I've been competitive all my life, but my poker skills are quite stinky, and several old friends are not willing to play with me. ”
"Huh, and then what?"
"Later, as you know, that little slippery head heard that I had this hobby and came to me every day to play cards. He has a good brain, the skill of playing cards is high, my old friends Leng did not see that he put me for three months, until I invested in Hengda when they suddenly realized. ”
"Poof~"
Fang Yuanshan just drank a sip of tea to his mouth, rolled his eyes and said, "With Lao Zheng, are you returning the favor?"
"I've played cards with them for most of my life, and I've basically lost more and won less. Money is a trivial matter, and the key is that you can't let go of this face. It's rare that the little slippery head helped me get the field back, I always mean it, don't I mean it?" Zheng Yutong is from Guangdong Chaoshan, and the accent inside is very strong, but Fang Yuanshan still understands it.
"Haha... ”
Seeing the old man's triumphant appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again.
I'm afraid no one will believe the names of these rich gangs. It's still the same sentence before, it's not a big deal to see you pleasing to the eye, and it's not a big deal to pull you. And that Xu Jiaying does have some ability, otherwise the mud can't support the wall, and Zheng Yutong will be useless even if he pulls it again.
An old man and a young man chatted happily in the living room of the villa, laughing from time to time in the middle. Seeing that it was getting dark, Fang Yuanshan thought about it and said simply: "Lao Zheng, the unveiling ceremony of my hotel will be held in Qingshui Bay tonight, let's go over and sit together?"
The old man stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare for you to invite Xiao Fang personally, so let's go together." By the way, by the way, bring Yihui on you. ”
"Let's go~"
"Let's go~"
