Chapter Ninety-Three: Just Wait for the First Sound of Spring Thunder
In fact, compared to the appearance, Jiangnan Building has made a greater breakthrough in the interior. It completely abandons the traditional brick and wood beam structure, and the whole is carefully printed with concrete, which is extremely strong. Moreover, it is possible to get rid of the restrictions of traditional materials on the building structure, so many impactful geometric shapes can be made, and so many large windows and glass ceilings can be opened, so that the interior of the building can obtain epoch-making lighting and transparency.
If you look closely, you can see that the roof does not use traditional tiles, because the tiles are fragile and difficult to maintain, and they are full of age after a long time. The sense of age is a kind of beauty, but Zhao Hao hopes that Jiangnan Building can maintain a timeless state and remind employees to always maintain vigorous vitality.
Therefore, according to the idea he copied from Master Pei, Mr. Wen Shui replaced the tiles with black stone, which is not only in harmony with the whitewashed walls and tiles of Suzhou, but also can maintain a new state for a long time.
In fact, for Mr. Wen Shui, this construction broke the tradition everywhere, challenged his cognition, and made him often unable to breathe in pain. He wanted to pick a son several times and quit, but Zhao Gongzi gave too much......
~~
Jiangnan Mansion refers to the shape of the 'axis house' commonly used in court architecture in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the overall shape is 'gong'. The two rows of buildings are connected by a two-storey corridor.
Why did you design the building in the shape of a 'gong'? Hua Bozhen, who served as a tour guide, told the guests that this was because Zhao Gongzi wanted to remind all employees that industry and agriculture that can create wealth for the society are the foundation of the group.
These words gave Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group a wave of favorability.
Especially the officials present, they were all born in the books of sages, and the order of 'Shinong and Gonggong' was deeply ingrained in their minds. Don't look at the current tightness of Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group. That's because the commodity economy in Jiangnan is too developed, and there are too many people who sacrifice their roots. Even if they farm at home, more than eighty percent of them are planted with cash crops such as mulberry, cotton and linen. The common people basically relied on buying Huguang rice to pay the emperor's grain, and even as rations.
Only then did they have to bow to the Jiangnan Group, which controlled the raw silk business of Jiangnan Shifu and monopolized overseas trade.
In this way, in fact, what many officials value is the strong penetration and influence of the Jiangnan Gang into officialdom, rather than the strong financial resources of the Jiangnan Group. Whether you can watch it or not, no matter how rich you are, it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, regardless of whether this declaration of 'agriculture and industry-oriented' is true or not, at least it is a good fig leaf, which can make you more righteous and comfortable when you support Jiangnan Group in the future."
And looking at the farms, cement, glass, sugar and other industries operated by Jiangnan Group, they are indeed practicing this declaration.
"What a worker-peasant-oriented!"
"Childe is really good."
"It is worthy of a generation of famous teachers, and it is invisible...... everyone is busy touting.
Zhao Hao said modestly that it is the social responsibility of entrepreneurs to increase wealth for the society, which is also the original intention of himself, the chairman, and several shareholders to establish Jiangnan Group.
Wang Mengxiang and others were busy and thought they should be reconciled. They will never admit that in fact, they just wanted to repeat the miracle of Xishan Company and follow Zhao Hao to make a quick buck.
Later, in the memoirs of several co-founders of Jiangnan Group, they all said in unison that they were trying to follow Gongzi to find a new way to save the country and save the people......
And the reasons are very different - we already have money, so of course not to make money......
In this regard, Mr. Lizhou, a great thinker, has made wonderful comments.
'Phew, shameless! Emperor Longqing still has a woman, and it didn't delay him starring in the live-action version of Golden Bottle Plum! ”
Of course, that's an afterthought.

Speaking of Jiangnan Building, the reception center is located in the empty hall on the first floor of the front row building, and there are dozens of smart and upright reception staff who provide guidance services for guests at any time.
Zhao Gongzi originally wanted to arrange a beautiful girl with white skin and long legs to serve as the reception lady. It is a pity that this proposal was rarely vetoed by President Jiang, who was obedient to all sides. The reason on the table, of course, is too shocking and will attract attacks on the group.
As for what President Jiang thinks in his heart, it is unknown. Anyway, she wouldn't admit that there was an iron curtain against her brother.
In addition, there are several VIP lounges, meeting rooms, external meeting rooms, as well as security rooms and group planning exhibition rooms.
The main building is mainly for welcoming visitors, and attaches great importance to the comfort of the environment, so that every visitor can get the best reception.
It can also better separate the inside and outside, which is convenient for the security team to secure the building.
The second floor is the office space of various functional departments of the Group, such as the Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Audit Department, Development Department, General Affairs Department, Training Department, R&D Department, Purchasing Department, and Logistics Department, as well as the offices of the Group's vice presidents and directors.
The third floor is the chairman's office, the huge president's office, the three committee offices, as well as the archives, R&D room, confidentiality room and other first-level security institutions.
and an oversized office that occupies the best position and is the only one that is not listed. Naturally, Miss Jiang prepared it for her brother......
There is also a large bed in the room.
Phew, what do you want, for my brother's lunch break.
~~
As for the rear row building, it is intended for the group's subordinate companies. From Jiangnan Financial Corporation, Jiangnan Development Corporation, Royal Shipping Corporation, Jiangnan Textile Corporation, which are currently the four giants of the group.
to Jiangnan Building Materials, Jiangnan Porcelain, Jiangnan Sugar, Jiangnan Pulp and Dyeing, the group's four major cash cows.
As well as all the subsidiaries of Jiangnan Mining, Jiangnan Iron and Steel, Jiangnan Machinery, Jiangnan Shipbuilding, Jiangnan Pharmaceutical, Jiangnan Logistics, Jiangnan Trading, Jiangnan Chemical, Jiangnan Security, Summer Resort, etc., all have offices here.
In addition, some of the more important grandchildren, such as Jiangnan Bank and Kunkaisi, also have offices in the group. The fact that a vassal is not a vassal of mine will not exist in the Jiangnan Group, which has clear property rights.
In fact, most of the group's companies have their own office space, such as Kunkaisi and Jiangnan Pharmaceutical in Kunshan, Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Textile are in Suzhou, and Jiangnan Building Materials and Jiangnan Security are located on Xishan Island.
The heads of these companies are definitely more willing to stay in their own acres and thirds. This is very understandable, when you come to the headquarters, you have to be coiled by a dragon and a tiger have to lie down, how can you be a king and hegemon in your own territory?
However, the group stipulates that each subordinate company must keep a senior executive above the vice president in the group at all times to ensure close contact between the upper and lower levels. In addition, the top leaders of each company are on duty at the headquarters at least five days a month, so as to keep up with the pace of the group and avoid ideological hair.
As for the two-storey corridor in the middle of the two rows of buildings, the first floor is where the group's functional departments provide one-stop services for its subordinate companies. Basically, anything that each company needs to do on a daily basis can be handled here at one time.
The second floor is the rest room, recreation room and health room of the group's employees. Employees are tired from work, they can drink tea here, chat, look at the scenery in the yard, receive a massage to relax, and of course do not do much work.

After visiting the main building, Zhao Hao and the guests came to the garden in the west courtyard. Since it is called 'Jiangnan' Group, how can there be no garden in the headquarters?
The whole courtyard covers an area of seven and a half acres, is a square enclosed space, with the scale of Suzhou gardens is not large, but Mr. Wen Shui borrowed from the Song Dynasty landscape painting in the 'perspective transformation', the lotus pond covered with pebbles, two straight lines and polygons combined with straight bridges, standing on the water surface of the double-layer sloping top tea pavilion, as well as those craggy rockeries, beautiful landscape trees, pieces of green bamboo carefully constructed into an atmospheric and exquisite three-dimensional picture, people whether they are in it, or on the three sides of the floor to see, You can enjoy the picturesque scenery of the artistic conception.
Now it was finally the field that the guests were good at, and they appreciated the beauty of the garden from different angles, and dozens of poems were born in the blink of an eye.
"Zhao Gongzi, in this situation, don't you still give a poem?" A shiny bald head suddenly appeared, directing everyone's attention to Zhao Gongzi.
"Oh, I got carried away, and I almost forgot that the fig leaf of the Ming poetry altar is here!"
"The class has an axe, the class has ......an axe," the guests laughed embarrassedly, and then looked at Zhao Hao with anticipation and said: "Childe should indeed write a poem to commemorate today's special day." ”
"......" Zhao Hao stared at the bald donkey depressedly, he didn't remember a post for Xue Lang.
Although he has a special affection for the monk, this guy is an exception, especially at this time, inviting him is purely to embarrass himself.
"Master Zhao, you are a little monk, everyone is waiting." With the ability of Xuelang courtesan, how can you still need Zhao Hao's invitation? Some of the board of directors were invited to him.
"Yes, Zhao Gongzi, you don't make poems when you come to Suzhou, isn't it too partial to Jinling." The crowd also cheered.
Hua Bozhen even directly asked people to prepare the pen and ink......
Zhao Gongzi couldn't shirk it when he saw it, so he had to nod and paced with a wry smile. This poem is in line with the occasion, and it must be in line with the tone of today's opening, high-spirited, and the most lacking in the poems of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is sad and bitter, is really sad personally.
Everyone looked at him quietly, lest they disturb Zhao Gongzi's train of thought.
After a long time he stood still, took up the wolf pen, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote on the snow-white wall:
"Creation is silent but affectionate, and every time it is cold, it is born in spring. Thousands of red and purple are arranged, just waiting for the first sound of new thunder! ”
"Good!" The crowd hurriedly applauded.
"What a 'thousands of red and purple arrangements, just waiting for the first sound of new thunder'! Childe's current pattern is so big that it is beyond the scope of literati! Xue Lang said with satisfaction: "The little monk is satisfied, and he won't bother you anymore before the year." ”
"Hehe......" Zhao Gongzi didn't smile at his skin, and he will send you to Tamluo Island in the next year, and let you find Tang Fat Man to make poems.
