I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 132 The construction of the Empire Group building invested 20 billion Hong Kong dollars!The curtain is about to kick off! !
Take a night off.

Early the next morning, Yang Ming came down from upstairs in a wheelchair under the service of Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong.

In the garden of the villa.

Without relying on a wheelchair, without relying on Zhong Chuhong and Azhu, Yang Ming stood up and walked slowly, intermittently, for about half an hour.

Yang Ming still felt that his feet were a little weak, as if he hadn't been able to fully exert his strength.

A Zhu and Zhong Chuhong encouraged by the side.

"Master, it's amazing!"

. . .

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong knew that Young Master Yang really returned to walking like a normal person, so they might not have to rely on them so much, and they would feel a little sense of loss.

Yang Ming's face was sweating, and Ah Zhu brought a towel to wipe the sweat off Yang Shao's face, and helped Yang Shao back to the wheelchair and sit down.

6:40am.

Yang Ming finished breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife.

Get on the Rolls-Royce and drive to the Federal Building.

Morning was about the same as usual.

noon.

Yang Ming finished his lunch in the company canteen.

in the afternoon.

The Imperial Group will announce important news to the outside world.

The large meeting room of the Imperial Group.

Conference room reception.

The general manager of Imperial Group, Merris.

Ma Shimin, general manager of Wharf Group.

Hutchison Whampoa Executive President Wei Li.

Imperial Group Financial Director Tang Shilian and others all attended this meeting room.

In addition, sitting below are the designers and representatives of the design industry who came to participate in the design drawing of the Empire Group Building yesterday.

Three people like I.M. Pei and his son all appeared in the conference room.

Last night, I.M. Pei and his son had learned that Mr. Yang had selected his design drawing.

Coming here today is just to formally sign a contract with the Imperial Group.

In addition to these, there are also reporters from major newspapers in Xiangjiang.

The current Asian TV station also sent reporters to conduct interviews.

Yang Ming is not only the boss of the Imperial Group, but also the majority shareholder of Asia TV. It can be said that Asia TV is Yang Ming's industry.

It's his mouthpiece.

For such an important matter now, how could Asia TV not send someone over?
Merris looked at the watch on his wrist.

The time came to 2:30 pm.

"Everyone, I am Meris, the general manager of the Empire Group, and I will host this press conference on the construction of the Empire Group Building."

The meeting room fell silent.

"The one on my left is Mr. Ma Shimin, the general manager of Wharf Group."

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

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

It was the first time for Wei Li to attend a press conference related to the Imperial Group.

It is also an opportunity for Wei Li.

When he decided to stay in Hutchison Whampoa as the executive president, he hoped to be able to integrate into the executives of the Imperial Group.

Now Yang Ming's important core subordinate.

Except for Tang Shilian, the chief financial officer, and Lin Xiuzhi, the female secretary, who are Chinese.

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

In Wei Li's view, Mr. Yang is a person who can tolerate the existence of white executives.

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

Because of that, Wei Li knew that if he wanted to integrate into the Imperial Group, he must be recognized by the core executives of the Imperial Group, such as Mr. Yang and Meris.

It is a kind of recognition that I was invited to attend such a press conference this time.

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 the Taipan.

For Xiangjiang, their status and influence are great.

Unexpectedly, they were all invited to attend the press conference this time.

"Some time ago, in the name of the Wharf Group, the Empire Group bought the Murray Building plot at a high price. The Empire Group planned to build the Empire Group Building on the original site of the Murray Building as the company's headquarters. During this period, the Empire Group invited people from all over the world to The architectural designers and famous architects from the architectural design firm designed the building of the Empire Group Building. After more than half a month, hundreds of famous artists from all over the world came to Xiangjiang with their works."

"Yesterday, in the conference room of our Imperial Group, representatives of famous architectural designers and architectural design firms from all over the world showed their design concepts and excellent works respectively. However, the Empire Group Building can only choose the most suitable one from them. For a design drawing, if it is not selected, I hope that you can still actively participate in the next cooperation between the Imperial Group."

Everyone knows.

For the construction of the Empire Group Building, only one of the blueprints can be selected.

The rest will definitely not be selected.

On this point, they are very clear.

For the Imperial Group to be able to say that, it can be regarded as giving them face.

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

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

"After Mr. Yang, the chairman of our Empire Group, and related executives of the Empire Group, we finally selected and confirmed the work designed by Mr. Pei Yuming from New York Pei Architects, and we selected it. Congratulations to Mr. Pei."

The three of Pei Yuming and his son already knew about it last night.

Today, when Meris announced in public, the three of Pei Yuming and his son were still very happy.

Other designers already knew about I.M. Pei's work last night.

Some people may be unconvinced, but most designers are still convinced.

"Mr. IM Pei is invited next."

I.M. Pei stood up amidst the applause of those architects and reporters, and went to the 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. I was able to choose my work among so many works."

I.M. Pei began to show his works and introduced them in front of those reporters.

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

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

699 meters high?

Those reporters were stunned when they heard about it.

What is this concept?
Now the tallest building in Xiangjiang, Kangle Building is only 178.5 meters high.

Now the Federal Building where the Imperial Group is located is only 95 meters high.

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

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

Now the building built by the Imperial Group is as high as 699 meters.

Not just Hong Kong, but even the tallest building in Asia and the world.

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

How could such news not shock the reporters present?
With the current technology, it can be built no matter how high it is, but the problem is that it needs huge financial support.

The Imperial Group possesses such funds.

According to I.M. Pei's prediction, if the Empire State Building is built according to his design, the cost required will be at least as high as 15 billion to 18 billion Hong Kong dollars.

What is this concept?
In 1978, this was definitely a huge sum of money.

Even other big groups in Xiangjiang may not be able to easily come up with such a sum of money.

What's more, some time ago, the Imperial Group had already spent more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars in bidding for the land of Murray Building.

Calculated in this way, it has exceeded 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it was worth it.

At that time, not only will it be used as the office location of the parent company of the Imperial Group, but the rest can also be rented out or used for other purposes.

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

After Meris and IM Pei respectively announced the news that surprised the reporters, they once again let the reporters lament the wealth and power of the Imperial Group.

If the Imperial Group didn't have that much money, it would be impossible to build such a huge building.

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

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

Five years is a bit long in Yang Ming's opinion.

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

When Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, and I.M. Pei signed the contract on behalf of Imperial Group, Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa, and I.M. Pei Construction respectively.

Under the witness of those reporters.

The construction of the building of the parent company of the Imperial Group is about to begin.
