455. Chinese garden
The one who spoke was an old gentleman, his name was Adelaide, and he was one of the three Cliff Castle designers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Ming asked, "Mr. Adelaide, do you know this kind of parrot?"
"Of course I do, because I also have a macaw, but it's a different color than this one, it's a glass macaw. Adelaide laughed, "I've been raising it for over forty years, just like my family." ”
"Raised for more than forty years!" Tang Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
Adelaide explained to Tang Ming: "Macaws have a very long lifespan, similar to humans, they can live for seventy or eighty years, and some even live to be more than a hundred years old. ”
"Really?" Tang Ming knew for the first time that a parrot had such a long lifespan, and looked at the parrot on his shoulder.
"Yes. Adelaide nodded, "Of course, only macaws live that long, medium and small parrots don't have that long." ”
"I see. Tang Ming nodded, saw that the food had been set on the table, and said, "Let's eat, talk while eating." ”
After everyone sat down, Tang Ming chatted with Adelaide about macaws while eating breakfast, and in the process of chatting, Tang Ming learned that Brother Parrot was not a native of Taoyuan Island, but should have been brought over by someone, and he was a descendant of immigrants.
Based on this, Adelaide guessed that there should be other macaws on Taoyuan Island besides Parrots.
Adelaide said: "Parrots are not very old, only about a year old, in terms of their lifespan, they are still in a baby state, normally speaking, such a big macaw should live with its parents, but the parrot is not with its parents, it may be that its parents had an accident, it ran out, such a big macaw is very easy to domesticate, after raising, they will be very close to the owner......"
The kung fu of this meal gave Tang Ming a preliminary understanding of macaws.
After eating, Tang Ming asked Andy to stay here to accompany the people from Norman Foster Designer Office, and he took a few security guards to accompany the three old gentlemen to the cliff.
"Beautiful place. When the three old gentlemen saw the scenery on the edge of the cliff, they all showed expressions of admiration.
Tang Ming said: "The three gentlemen can look at it casually, if you need anything, you can tell me." ”
"Okay. ”
They circled around the cliff, occasionally pulling out their phones to take a few photos and occasionally discuss.
They are both top figures in the field of architectural design and are familiar with each other.
They watched for a while and walked to Tang Ming's side.
An old gentleman named Edgar looked at Tang Ming and asked, "Mr. Tang, do you have a limit on the construction area of the castle?"
The other two old gentlemen also looked at Tang Ming with burning eyes.
They wanted to design a building that would last for generations, and while it doesn't necessarily mean that it's big, the bigger the building, the more memorable it will be.
Tang Ming said proudly: "There is no limit, as long as your design can satisfy me, there is no limit to how large the area is, and there is no upper limit on the construction cost, or that sentence, as long as my wife and I are satisfied, there are no restrictions." ”
He now earns at least $2 billion a month, and he really doesn't care how much it will cost him to build a castle.
"Then we can design with confidence. ”
The three old gentlemen all nodded in satisfaction.
Tang Ming stayed here for a while, said to them, left two security personnel, sat in Zhijiu and flew back to the villa.
The Norman Foster Designers were divided into several groups, none of whom remained in the villa.
"Quack, quack, quack......"
Tang Ming returned to the villa, and the parrot fluttered over and landed on Tang Ming's shoulder.
Tang Ming smiled: "I still learn to call frogs, and I am not allowed to learn to call frogs in the future, come, Brother Parrot, I will teach you and say hello." ”
"Quack. ”
"Hello, not quack. ”
"Hiss. ”
"It's not hiss, it's hello. ”
"Quack ......"
"It's not quack, it's hello, hello ......"
“……”
Tang Ming taught Brother Parrot for a while, but he felt very powerless, and Brother Parrot couldn't teach him, which made Tang Ming doubt Adelaide's statement that Macaw was smart.
"Mr. Tang. ”
Tang Ming looked back and saw that it was the Chinese from Norman Foster's design office.
"Mr. Wu, I didn't go to work. ”
Tang Ming said hello to him and let Brother Parrot go play by himself.
"I've been walking around and have an idea. Wu Jie said, "Mr. Tang, have you ever thought about building a Chinese-style garden?" ”
"A Chinese garden, similar to a Suzhou garden?" Tang Ming looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes, Suzhou gardens, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, garden buildings like ink paintings. Wu Jie nodded.
"When you say that, I'm a little moved. Tang Ming said, "However, it should be very difficult to build a Chinese-style garden, can there be a company in China that can build it?"
"It's true that it's very difficult to build a Chinese garden compared to modern architecture. Wu Jie said: "However, now the domestic rich more and more respect for Chinese garden architecture, the demand for this is increasing, a large number of very powerful construction companies have emerged in China, fully capable of building Chinese gardens." ”
Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree to build a Chinese-style garden, but I don't want to build a four-like garden at that time." ”
"Of course there is no problem, Mr. Tang rest assured, if something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility. Wu Jie nodded excitedly, and patted his chest to reassure Tang Ming.
Tang Ming was noncommittal to his words, the cost of building this garden was not millions or tens of millions, but hundreds of millions or even billions, and the unit was still Australian dollars.
It's not that Tang Ming looks down on him, he is a little designer who has no ability to vouch for it, if it weren't for Tang Ming's own heart, he wouldn't agree at all.
……
After spending a few days on Taoyuan Island, the designers surveyed the terrain and decided to go back to the design, and they returned to the Gold Coast on a yacht.
During this period, Tang Ming walked around Taoyuan Island and saw many animals, but he didn't find a group of macaws, and he didn't know if there were no other macaws on the island, or if he was unlucky.
Back on the Gold Coast, Tang Ming introduced Brother Parrot to her when he was on a video with Cornelia, and she liked Brother Parrot very much.
After staying overnight on the Gold Coast, Tang Ming returned to the ranch with his parrot.
"Hello, hello, hello......"
When he came down from Zhijiuli and went back to the house to see Xiaobai and Xiaoxiong, Brother Parrot suddenly came to say a few words, which made Tang Ming overjoyed, and after teaching it for so long, it finally came to fruition.
But then the parrot flew up and did not dare to approach them, apparently frightened by their fierce appearance. (To be continued.) )
