Chapter 132 The construction of the Empire State Building has invested 2 billion Hong Kong dollars! The curtain is about to begin!!

Have a night's rest.

Early the next morning, Yang Ming came down in a wheelchair from upstairs, served by Azhu and Zhong Chuhong.

In the garden of the villa.

Without relying on a wheelchair, Zhong Chuhong and A-Zhu, Yang Ming slowly stood up and walked on his own, intermittently, for about half an hour.

Yang Ming still felt that his legs were a little weak, as if they were not able to fully exert their strength.

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were encouraging.

"Master, you are so awesome!"

...

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong knew that if Yang Shao really returned to walking like a normal person, he would not have to rely on them so much, and they would feel a little disappointed.

Yang Ming's face was sweating. A-Zhu brought a towel to wipe the sweat off Yang Ming's face, and helped Yang Ming return to the wheelchair and sit down.

They also participated this time, but were not selected either.

Pei stood up amidst the applause of the architects and reporters and walked to the front desk.

They all know this very well.

What's more, some time ago, the Imperial Group spent more than HK$600 million in bidding for the Murray House land parcel.

The Imperial Group has exactly such funds.

All three people, including Pei and his son, appeared in the conference room.

According to Pei's prediction, if the Empire State Building is built according to his design, the cost will be at least 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Being invited to attend such a press conference this time is a kind of recognition.

afternoon.

Yang Ming accompanied Yang Jirong and his wife to finish breakfast.

Other designers already know about Pei Yuming's work last night.

Get in the Rolls-Royce and ride to the Federal Building.

How could such news not shock the reporters present?

With current technology, it can be built no matter how high it is, but the problem is that it requires huge financial support.

"After our Chairman of the Empire Group, Mr. Yang, and relevant executives of the Empire Group, we finally selected and confirmed that the work designed by Mr. Pei from the New York-based I.M. Pei Architectural Design Firm was selected by us. Congratulations to Mr. Pei."

Conference room front desk.

After shaking hands with Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Tang Shilian and others, he said: "I am very grateful to the Imperial Group and Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, for their support and trust in choosing my work among so many works."

For example, the general manager of the Empire Group, Merliss, and the general manager of the Wharf Group, Ma Shimin, are all white.

In Xiangjiang, their status and influence are very great.

Imperial Group Financial Director Tang Shilian and others were present in this conference room.

In addition to these, there are also reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.

At this time, Ma Shimin was the general manager of Wharf Group and Wei Li was the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa. They both belonged to Taipan.

699 meters high?

The Federal Building where the Empire State Group is now located is only 95 meters high.

When he decided to stay at Hutchison Whampoa as CEO, he hoped to integrate into the senior management of Empire Group.

"This architectural design is the result of the joint efforts of my eldest son Bei Dingzhong, my second son Bei Jianzhong, and two Feng Shui numerology masters from Xiangjiang, Mr. Chen and Professor Song."

If the Imperial Group can say that, it can be regarded as giving them face.

What is this concept?

In 1978, this was definitely a huge amount of money.

At that time, in addition to being used as the office location of the parent company of Empire Group, the rest can also be rented out or used for other purposes.

How could Asia Television not send someone over for such an important matter now?

Melis looked at the watch on his wrist.

This is Wei Li's first time attending a press conference related to the Imperial Group.

After Yang Ming had lunch in the company canteen.

Yang Ming is not only the boss of Empire Group, but also the controlling shareholder of Asia Television. It can be said that Asia Television is Yang Ming's industry.

At this point, he noticed that Mr. Yang was indeed different from others.

The morning was pretty much the same as usual.

The highest point of Victoria Peak is 554 meters, and the Empire State Building, which is nearly 700 meters high, is more than 100 meters higher.

If the Imperial Group did not have so much money, it would be impossible to build such a huge building.

Ma Shimin, General Manager of Wharf Group.

"This person on my left is Mr. Ma Shimin, general manager of Wharf Group."

After I.M. Pei roughly outlined the design of the Empire State Building.

Now, when Merlis announced it in public, Pei Yuming and his son were still very happy.

The time came to 2:30 pm.

It's his mouthpiece.

At 443 meters tall, the Sears office building is already the tallest building in the world.

Pei Yuming began to take out his works and introduced them in front of the reporters.

Everyone knows.

It is also an opportunity for Weili.

For the construction of the Empire State Building, you can only choose one of the designs.

"Now I invite Mr. Pei Yuming."

It became quiet in the conference room.

6:40 am.

The rest will definitely not be selected.

Last night, Pei and his son had already learned about the design Mr. Yang had chosen.

The Sears Department Store Office Building in Chicago, Country M, was built from 1970 to 1973 and designed by SOM Architectural Firm of Country M. It is the tallest building in the world so far, with 110 floors on the ground and a height of 443 meters.

"Some time ago, the Empire Group, in the name of the Wharf Group, purchased the Murray House site at a high price. The Empire Group is planning to build the Empire State Building on the original site of the Murray House site as the company's headquarters. During this period, the Empire Group invited people from all over the world to

Architectural designers and famous architects from the architectural design industry designed the construction of the Empire State Building. After more than half a month, hundreds of famous designers from all over the world came to Hong Kong with their works."

What is this concept?

Currently, the tallest building in Hong Kong, Hong Lok Building, is only 178.5 meters high.

However, Yang Ming gave enough time to ensure the quality of the building.

Imperial Group's large conference room.

Imperial Group will announce important news to the outside world.

In Wei Li's view, Mr. Yang is someone who can tolerate the presence of white executives.

Now an important core subordinate of Yang Ming.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is very worthwhile.

"The person on my right is Mr. Wei Li, CEO of Hutchison Whampoa."

It is very possible that this building will be worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the future.

Like Wharf itself, Hutchison Whampoa itself has its own huge real estate properties, and it must also have its own architects.

Meris continued to announce: "The construction of the Empire State Building will be jointly undertaken by Wharf Real Estate, Hutchison Real Estate, and I.M. Pei Architects. The construction period will last five years."

Ma Shimin stood up and greeted the reporters, designers and others sitting there.

Morris, general manager of Empire Group.

Five years seems a bit long to Yang Ming.

Asia Television now also sends reporters to conduct interviews.

The reporters who were doing this were shocked when they heard it.

In addition, sitting below are the designers and representatives of the design industry who came yesterday to participate in the design drawings for the construction of the Empire State Building.

"Among them, the overall building height is 699 meters."
