79. Chapter 79 IM Pei is the architect of the manor?
"I plan to hand over the legal aspects of various businesses under my name or in which I am involved in the future to your law firm."
"In this case, you probably have to recruit more lawyers in advance! Otherwise you won't be able to cope with it."
"Thank you Yu Sheng for your care. I will handle this matter immediately after I return. I wonder what other things Yu Sheng said?" Luo Decheng asked after thanking Yu Wei.
"The first thing, I believe you also know, is that I have acquired more than a dozen newspapers, large and small, and reorganized them into Xiangjiang Daily."
"During the acquisition, your law firm will help handle many legal documents. In this regard, you may need to find someone to help deal with all future legal issues of the newspaper."
"The other one is that I want to acquire Li's TV station. My idea is that I will entrust HSBC Bank to acquire it, and you will help provide legal support."
"Another thing is that I want to acquire a bank next year. What I mean is to invite your law firm to participate in the acquisition."
"There are also Phoenix Technology and Phoenix Real Estate. I am also a company licensee and hold a certain proportion of shares in both."
"The legal issues of these two companies, as well as the TV stations and banks that will be acquired in the future, will also be entrusted to your law firm to handle!"
"Thank you, Yu Sheng, for your concern! It's just that the acquisition of Li's TV station may be a bit difficult. Now it is the only TV station in Hong Kong."
"The Hong Kong Governor probably won't approve the acquisition," Prime Minister Luo Luo replied after Wei Wei finished speaking.
"And the bank doesn't know if Yu Sheng has any goals? If so, as long as it's a Chinese-owned bank, I do have some contacts that I can use to help Yu Sheng with the acquisition!" Luo Cheng said again.
"The TV station can be acquired by HSBC first. If it works, of course it would be best. If not, I would like to ask Luo Sheng for help. We can apply to start a new TV station ourselves. Is it easier?"
"Of course, I won't be stingy with public relations expenses! There will definitely be no problem spending what should be spent!" Yu Wei added.
"That's okay. I heard before that the Li family and the Shao family wanted to jointly apply for a new TV station."
"I don't know what's going on now? If you don't have to be a sole proprietor, I can help you ask to see if you can participate and take some shares. The specific number of shares can be discussed!
" Luodecheng replied.
"No problem! Lawyer Luo, we will do both at the same time. I want the shares of both Li's TV station and the newly applied TV station."
"If it is Li's TV station, it will be fully acquired. For newly applied TV stations, we will do our best to obtain the maximum number of shares."
"I will entrust you with full authority to handle these two acquisitions, and I will give you 5% of the acquisition amount as commission!" Yu Wei said, time is more important now, the key is to make things happen! Only money can make things happen!
"Yu Sheng, I'll try my best! I'll try my best!" Luo Decheng said with some excitement.
"As for banks, I want to acquire Hang Seng Bank. Of course, it doesn't matter if they have no intention of selling. We can consider acquiring several other small banks and reorganize them at that time, but it will take too much effort!" Yu Wei added.
Today, Yu Wei's main purpose is to make Luo Luo Cheng take his plan to acquire Hang Seng Bank into his mind and take it seriously.
In this way, let Cheng Luo test out the shareholders of Hang Seng Bank and leave an impression among these shareholders first.
When the run on Chinese banks breaks out at the end of this year, and when Hang Seng Bank cannot survive and wants to find someone to be a white knight at the beginning of next year, HSBC will not be the only one, and you can participate yourself!
"I can first ask Hang Seng Bank if they have any intention to sell. The shareholders of their bank still have some friendship with our Luo family." Luo Dechen thought for a while and replied.
"Thank you very much, Lawyer Luo! Qiao Yue, it's almost time. Can you go and see if the arrangements are made in the kitchen?"
"By the way, I went to pick up a bottle of red wine from Chateau Leroy in France, so I can sober it up first! I want to have a good drink with Lawyer Luo tonight!" Yu Wei said to Qiao Yue.
Afterwards, Yu Wei and Luo Dechen had a secret conversation in the study for half an hour before going downstairs. However, before going downstairs, Yu Wei wrote a check from HSBC for one million Hong Kong dollars and gave it to Luo Dechen.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant. After Yu Wei invited Luo Dechen to sit down, he saw Qiao Yue standing aside and preparing to serve them two meals. He slapped his forehead and said to Luo Dechen and Qiao Yue:
"It's my fault. I'm sorry, Lawyer Luo, I forgot to introduce you more. Qiao Yue is now my third wife."
"Qiao Yue, please sit down together. Today we, husband and wife, will have a casual meal with Lawyer Luo!"
After saying that, Yu Wei helped Qiao Yue pull out the chair on the other side of him and let her sit down.
Qiao Yue was extremely happy. This was the first time Yu Wei mentioned her identity to outsiders.
"Third madam, congratulations! You are too secretive! I didn't know until Yu Sheng told me today that I was rude, rude!" Luo Cheng congratulated Qiao Yue!
"We are all our own people, don't be too polite, we will have to deal with you more often in the future! Lawyer Luo, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home!" Yu Wei said.
After the meal, the host and guest had a great time! After the meal, because Luo Decheng had been drinking, Yu Wei insisted on letting the bodyguard drive him back.
The next morning, Yu Wei and Qiao Yue had breakfast and waited for the architect to come over. Since Qiao Yue did not mention the name of the architect in detail, when Yu Wei saw that the architect this time was Ieoh Ming Pei,
, Yu Weiwei was surprised!
After some mutual introductions, Yu Wei quickly invited Pei into the reception room on the first floor.
Entering the reception room, I.M. Pei didn't waste any time and directly took out the renderings of his design.
When Yu Wei saw it, he was very satisfied. Except for the main building's floor area, number of floors, and building height, the other buildings, including the appearance of the main building, and the layout of the entire manor, were quite reminiscent of Suzhou gardens.
The garden is completely arranged according to the layout of Suzhou gardens.
It not only integrates Yu Wei's requirements into its design, but also contains the charm of Su-style gardens.
It's just that the pond in Suzhou Garden has now become a swimming pool, and the swimming pool is the same size as the fishing pond, one behind the other in the main building!
The various buildings in the entire rendering appear to be natural, harmonious and unified, without losing the unique personality of the main building and other buildings.
Various functional areas and leisure areas are processed according to the land topography, and are not required to be all flat.
In this design, the main building occupies the middle position. It is surrounded by various buildings that Yu Wei requested to build. We will not discuss it here for now.
Yu Wei was very satisfied and signed an HSBC check for HKD 500,000 to I.M. Pei as agreed.
According to the agreement, as the designer, I.M. Pei will be responsible until the acceptance is passed and the manor is delivered for use!
Qiao Yue will be responsible for arranging and handling the remaining matters.
Yu Wei chatted with I.M. Pei and asked him what he was wondering: Why did I.M. Pei accept this design?
But I.M. Pei smiled and told the truth.
It turns out that he travels around every year to learn more about the architectural styles of various places and look for some inspiration.
This time when I came to Xiangjiang, Kinmen Architecture happened to be looking for an architect. This person from Kinmen Architecture was his senior when he was in college. When he knew that I.M. Pei had come to Xiangjiang, he invited him to go and see it in person.
Who knew, after Ieoh Ming Pei saw it in person, he would be inspired, and he would take over the design of this manor!
Originally, I.M. Pei wanted to spend some time convincing Yu Wei to adopt his design plan, but he didn't know that things would go so smoothly!
At this time, I.M. Pei was not yet famous all over the world. According to his previous life trajectory, he would take over the design of the John F. Kennedy Library this year.
I went on a business trip today and didn't get home until 6:30. There was only the second update!
Chapter completed!
