Where there is fat, there are naturally hungry wolves that shine green.

The first person to come to talk about cooperation was Huaxia Construction Group.

Huaxia Construction Group, which has never fallen out of the top 10 in the ranking of the top 500 domestic enterprises in the past ten years, is the largest construction group in Huaxia, with influence across the north and south of the country.

He has the largest number of senior architects and major construction teams in China, and if this behemoth stomps his feet angrily, then the entire domestic architectural community will probably tremble.

As soon as he heard the news that Chen Yuan had built the giant beast exhibition hall on his own, Huaxia Construction Group sent a special team over, led by Xiao Mingyi, who is currently the director of the marketing department in the group, and a well-known manager in China.

Since he became the marketing director of Huaxia Construction Group, he has never failed in the bidding for major projects, both domestic and foreign.

It's just that this time, although the Behemoth Exhibition Hall was built and exhibited in the name of Qinghe City, it was actually in the hands of the Castle Group, to be precise, in the hands of Chairman Chen Yuan.

For any construction company, this is a huge piece of fresh meat.

Behemoth Exhibit Hall!

This is the world's first exhibition of giant beasts, and the exhibition will be a huge sensation in the world of the deep-sea squid, fame and influence are no longer a matter of consideration, the worry is whether the designed venue can be comparable to the world's famous buildings such as the Sydney Opera House, the Beijing Olympic Bird's Nest, etc.

There is no doubt that if the design of this venue is won, it will be a great boost to the company's reputation and influence.

For this competition, Xiao Mingyi made sufficient preparations, and stood at the bottom of the castle group building at this time, looking at this dilapidated ten-story building, and suddenly felt a sense of contempt in his heart, and he was extremely confident.

I'm afraid that these buns can't even design a company building.

Looking at the architects of the castle group who came and went, in a hurry, he couldn't help but feel disdain, he had already heard the news that the castle group was recruiting architects from all walks of life, and he also knew some of these people, but they were all young up-and-comers, how could the real master be invited by this nouveau riche.

With shiny leather shoes, bright clothes, and no wrinkles in his suit, Xiao Mingyi quickened his pace and walked towards the chairman's office with a smile on his face.

When he was still a few steps away from the office, the door card opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it, bowing his head slightly and hurriedly passing him.

Xiao Mingyi couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this Manager Zhao of Oriental Construction Group, who is one step faster than him.

Oriental Construction Group is the old opponent of Huaxia Construction Group, but it has been suppressed very ruthlessly in the past ten years, looking at the back of Manager Zhao leaving in a hurry and his head slightly lowered, Xiao Mingyi smiled slightly, it is obvious that the other party's purpose this time has not been achieved.

knocked on the door, and a soft voice came from the door, "Come in", Xiao Mingyi smiled even more, pushed open the door and walked in.

It's just that as soon as he walked in, the smile on Xiao Mingyi's face disappeared, and he saw a young man sitting behind the desk, leaning back on the back of the chair, looking up at him, without the slightest intention of getting up to welcome.

Xiao Mingyi naturally knew Chen Yuan's appearance, and said with a cold face: "Boss Chen, is this how your company welcomes guests?" ”

Joke, he visited a powerful figure of the largest construction group in China, and the other party was just the owner of a well-known company, so rude.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Director Xiao, please take a seat, this bid will be decided by me personally." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mingyi's face turned a little pale, sat on the sofa angrily, and said directly: "The design of your company's giant beast exhibition hall is handed over to our group, and there is no one in China whose strength can surpass ours." ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "We have all heard of your company's reputation, and this time the giant beast exhibition hall is easy to say, as long as the design plan is satisfactory to us, it can be handed over to you, I don't know if you have brought a preliminary design plan this time?" ”

"Naturally, we never fight unprepared battles." Xiao Mingyi took out a large envelope from the briefcase he brought and put it on the table.

Chen Yuan opened it, put the first drawing on the table, glanced at it, and said, "I'm sorry, this plan is still far from our expectations, so I won't consider it." ”

Blatant rejection.

Xiao Mingyi was stunned for a moment, and then the anger rose uncontrollably, almost bursting out, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Boss Chen, you only glanced at it just now, how do you know that our design plan is not good?" Do you think that the design department of our Huaxia Group is a group of rice balls? ”

Chen Yuan glanced at him and explained: "The reason is very simple, this plan is far from our expectations, and now there are design plans that meet the requirements, to be honest...... Much better than your design. ”

"Oh? Don't know which major company is the work? It will be better than ours in China. The corners of Xiao Mingyi's mouth flashed with a sneer.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not a company, but the work of a master, the work designed by the shell master himself." ”

"Shells?" Xiao Mingyi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered the name, wasn't that the mysterious architect who won the Desert Palace's $10 million award?

This architect is quite mysterious, Shenlong can't see the head and the end, he has also sent people to look for it, but they haven't found it, and now he is being co-opted by the castle group.

If it is a giant beast exhibition hall, then it is very likely to invite this mysterious master out of the mountain, thinking of this, Xiao Mingyi's face turned blue and red for a while, compared to the design skills, all the people in their group together could not catch up with this master who could design the Desert Palace.

Xiao Mingyi wanted to leave just like that, but thinking of the group's high-level explanation of this task, he took a deep breath and said: "Boss Chen, I think you should understand that it is impossible for only one person to be responsible for the design of such a large venue, and we have the most senior design team in China." ”

Chen Yuan took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "I'm sorry, our group also plans to set up its own design department, and they will be responsible for this project, so we won't have to worry about it." ”

No wonder he is so unhappy, he originally had this plan, but in recent days, those major construction companies that have been self-conscious have sent people to the door to entangle and even threaten.

"Boss Chen, I also know about the architects you recruited, I am really young and have no experience, I am afraid it will have a negative impact on this unprecedented exhibition hall, this giant beast exhibition hall is not only your group's, but also represents our Huaxia, our group is naturally obliged to design it." Xiao Mingyi spoke eloquently.

Chen Yuan finally frowned, glanced at him with a smile and said, "This is not your concern, in addition to Master Shell, I also invited Master Pei Luming to be the director." ”

Pei Luming?

Hearing this name, Xiao Mingyi's mouth did not close, he was quite shocked in his heart, Pei Luming is a real master in the architectural world, known as "the last master of modern architecture".

His representative buildings include the East Wing of the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the expansion of the Louvre Museum in Paris, which won the Gold Medal of the Architectural Institute of the United States in 1979, the Gold Medal of French Architecture in 1981, the Prize of the Emperor of the Island in 1989, the 5th Pritzker Prize in 1983, and the Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

Its position in the world of architecture is high and unmatched.

But his old man is already hundreds of years old this year, can he still go out of the mountain again and help others design works?

Since the other party said so, there was nothing he could do, so he turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Xiao Mingyi leaving in a gray manner, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, he was not lying, he was indeed inviting this master out of the mountain, of course, not for the purpose of designing works, but it was enough to let him come out at the cost of the guidance of the shell.
