v2 Chapter 596： Top Chinese Master

A conspiracy against the Keswick family and the Land Group unfolded quietly.

Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others are like poisonous snakes in the dark, full of patience, approaching step by step, gradually eroding, and finally delivering a fatal blow.

Although this plan will consume a relatively long time, everything is worth it relative to the possible results.

Just when Xia Yu had free time, Hua Shengshi, who had been in Xiangjiang for a long time, found him excitedly.

The antiques brought back from the United Kingdom are filled with the underground treasure room of Xia Yu’s current villa under the layout of the Huashengshi. However, because there are too many antiques, Xia Yu had to take an unsold building not far away. The villa was opened to store antiques.

After storage, Hua Shengshi disappeared, and Xia Yu only knew that he was going to build a private museum.

Unexpectedly, Huashengshi, which had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared again, and he excitedly told Xia Yu that he had found a candidate for the design museum, and he had also talked about it initially. Now Xia Yu, the principal, will come to negotiate. .

Seeing that Hua Shengshi was very confident, Xia Yu asked him curiously who he was looking for. He did not expect that the name Hua Shengshi said made Xia Yu very surprised, even pleasantly surprised.

Surprised Xia Yu did not waste time and immediately let Huashengshi lead the way.

Soon I found the person I was looking for in the dormitory of the School of Architecture of Xiangjiang University.

Chinese American architect IM Pei!

A person who is already well-known but has not yet resonated in the world, but in the future, no one knows everyone, who is known as the "last master of modern architecture".

This future Chinese legend has already become well-known in the United States at this time. He has designed the Franklin National Bank Building, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the East Building of the National Gallery of Art, the Indiana University Art Museum, the Kennedy Library, etc.

After 14 years, the Kennedy Library, which will be completed in October this year, is to commemorate the late US President John F. Kennedy. After completion, its disruptive design caused a huge sensation in the American architecture community and will be awarded by the end of this year. The American Architectural Society Gold Medal, the nature of this award is similar to the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture, and his reputation has been well-known throughout the United States.

After he is well-known in the United States and the world, he will also design the Morgan Building, China Fragrant Hills Hotel, Xiangjiang Bank of China Tower, Louvre Glass Pyramid, China Bank of China Headquarters Building, German History Museum, China Embassy in the United States, *Art Museum And other extremely important buildings.

It can be said that Pei is the most accomplished person in the field of Chinese architecture, even now.

Xia Yu was very surprised that Huashengshi was able to find Pei, and Pei initially agreed.

After some understanding, it turns out that Huashengshi had a lot of friendship with Pei's father, and personally had a good relationship with Pei.

It just so happened that the Kennedy Library was about to be completed, and only the finishing touch was left. I.e. Pei did not need to bother, so he came to Xiangjiang to exchange and learn, enrich his knowledge and find new inspiration.

And Xiangjiang can communicate with him only the professors and teachers of the School of Architecture of Xiangjiang University.

In order to facilitate exchanges and learning, the school arranged temporary dormitories for Pei I.M. for his stay.

"Mr. Bei, hello!"

After the meeting, Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with Pei IM.

Pei is fifty-one years old, but he may be overuse of his brain and his hair is thinner. He has a very friendly attitude. Although the first time I saw Xia Yu, he was still gentle, not flattering or arrogant. His attitude seemed very peaceful. There is a scent of books all over the body, which makes people feel that this is a cultural person at first glance.

"Mr. Xia, hello, the humble house is simple, please forgive me, please sit down!"

IM Pei tidied up the architectural design drawings placed on the table and stool, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, don't stand up either!"

Hua Shengshi also exchanged a few words with Pei, and the three of them took their seats one after another.

After simply saying a few words that were not nutritious, Xia Yu went straight to the topic and talked about the museum. Anyway, Hua Shengshi had already made it clear to him that there was no need to continue to detour.

"Mr. Pei, Hua Lao should have told you that I want to build a top-class private cultural museum in Hong Kong, and even the world's top private cultural museum. The main collection is Chinese cultural relics. Of course, cultural relics of other civilizations are not excluded from the back."

"Although Huaxia has a Forbidden City Museum, it is deep inland, and it is not convenient to show the world the colorful culture of China for five thousand years. I also want Chinese people all over the world to have a channel to understand the roots of the ancestral land, so I I hope that this museum can be built to its best, so that it can be worthy of the extensive and profound Chinese culture."

"I don't want museums with important cultural significance to be poorly built or designed by white people. You are the Chinese with the highest achievements in the field of architecture, and only the museum you design will not insult the Chinese civilization."

"So I want to ask you to design a museum."

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Pei I.M.

At this time, after listening to Xia Yu's words, Pei's face was moved and his heart was moved.

When Hua Shengshi contacted him, he also told him about Xia Yu's deeds and his ambition to collect lost cultural relics overseas, so he was interested in picking up this job.

Unexpectedly, when he heard Xia Yu's words in person at this time, Pei realized that Xia Yu actually thought so. For a Chinese-American who has never forgotten his roots, these words touched no less than throwing a bomb in his heart to make him. Panic.

At this moment, Pei had a strong idea in his heart, that is, no matter what, he must accept this design project.

Not for anything else, just to allow another museum representing the Chinese civilization to appear in the world, to show the world the glorious history of the ancient Chinese civilization, and to allow the Chinese who grew up overseas to have a channel to understand the motherland and not forget the fundamentals.

"Mr. Xia, your ambition is admirable. I am an ordinary designer. Since you are worthy of me, I took this task without any compensation."

Pei said with a firm expression.

Hearing this, Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu were very surprised, but how embarrassed Xia Yu to let Pei Yuming work in vain? It doesn't cost much for him, not to mention that this project is not small, and Pei must be needed. Staff assistance from Ming's Architects.

Pei's ability to win the design has already surprised him. How can he not charge him?

Therefore, Xia Yu immediately persuaded: "Mr. Bei, I appreciate your kindness, but designing a museum takes time and effort and requires you to invest a lot of energy. Besides, you have to support a large number of people in an architect firm. If it makes you work in vain, isn't this slapped me in the face!"

After speaking, Xia Yu winked at Hua Sheng Shi.

Hua Shengshi also quickly persuaded: "Mr. Bei, you don't need to save money with Mr. Xia, we will put one yard into one yard."

Pei's expression moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he reluctantly nodded and said: "Mr. Xia, Hua Lao, if you say so, then only charge for the cost. I don't want to make a penny here, just like me drifting in a foreign land Let the children do their part for the motherland."

Although he was talking with a smile, the firmness in his tone was very obvious.

Xia Yu and Hua Shengshi looked at each other, and after looking at Pei I.M., they nodded with emotion: "Well then, Mr. Pei Gaoyi!"

IM Pei smiled, changed the subject and said: "Then let's talk about how to build this museum, Mr. Xia, Hua Lao, please tell me if you have any requirements, and I will design according to the requirements."

"Ok."

"The land has been selected, it is in Kwun Tong District, Kowloon..."

After that, the three chatted with interest.
