Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After deciding on the target, Xia Yu first called Peter Lynch in the United States, considering the time difference, and instructed him to fully acquire the American A\u0026 Company, American Epic Records and RCA Records within two months.

Then in the evening, Xia Yu called George Berkeley in London again, and asked him to win the British EMI Records, Isle Records and Virgin Records within two months, and at the same time fully acquire Polygram International Ltd. more than one-third of the shares.

It happened that he promised Margaret Thatcher to invest 2.5 billion pounds in the UK this year. In addition to the previous investment in the telecommunications market, there was still a large amount of money that he did not know where to spend it. This field accomplishes some tasks.

After assigning the task, there is no need for Xia Yu to worry about it.

As long as he completes all his acquisitions by the end of August, his Universal Music Group can truly live up to its name.

Although it seems that these record companies are only concentrated in Europe and North America, it is not as simple as it seems.

It is impossible for Xia Yu to forget the island country market where the Walkman first appeared. In any case, the island country is also the second largest market in the Walkman field after the United States.

The reason why Xia Yu did not target the acquisition of record companies in the island country is actually not necessary.

This has to do with the island nation's unique record market.

The strongest Aihui record in the island country in the previous life does not exist at all now, and now the record market in the island country is very chaotic.

According to the data, there are many factions in the record market in the island country, which are divided into European and American departments, Hollywood departments, electrical manufacturing departments, broadcasting bureau departments, office departments, publishing houses, toys, game clubs and simple record departments.

The European and American departments and the Hollywood departments are actually the branches established by European and American film and television and record companies in the island country.

The Motor Manufacturing Department is a record company established by electronic and motor companies such as Panasonic Group, JVC Electronics, and Kenwood.

The broadcasting bureau refers to the record company that is backed by the TV station.

The office department actually refers to those artist brokerage companies, and these brokerage companies have set up record companies themselves.

The publishing house refers to record companies established by publishing houses such as Kadokawa Group, Otowa Group, Kodansha, and the Island Communication Education Alliance.

As for the toy and game club, the record department, it goes without saying.

Therefore, EMI Records, Polygram International Co., Ltd., Columbia Records and American Epic Records all have branches in the island, and Xia Yu's Universal Music Group itself has branches in the island.

As long as the acquisitions he planned can be completed, the branches of these companies in the island country alone can make Universal Music Group the first in the island country's record market.

Therefore, there is no need to specifically acquire record companies in island countries.

In the next few days, Xia Yu had a good balance between work and leisure, and he also took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong, who was on vacation, to relax.

On the day of June 6, Liu Shihao reported a piece of news to him that made him a little happy.

Because it was inconvenient to come to Jiuding Building, Xia Yu simply went directly to Jiuding Real Estate Group.

After arriving at Jiuding Real Estate Group, I saw Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping waiting in the lobby.

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Well, hello!"

After nodding to Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping, Xia Yu asked directly, "Is Mr. Pei here today?"

"Chairman, Mr. Bei has already come. In the company's design room, we didn't notify him to come down together." Liu Shihao replied.

Xia Yu was not surprised, but showed admiration and said, "Mr. Bei is too old, so it's right not to let him down."

"Come on, show me the results of the design."

"Okay, please come with me! The design room is on the eighth floor."

After that, Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping took Xia Yu and others to the elevator.

After a while, the group came to a huge design room, where many people were busy.

What attracted Xia Yu's attention the most was the architectural model in the middle of the design room. Next to the model, was Mr. Ieoh Ming Pei, who was observing with a magnifying glass.

Seeing Xia Yu and the others coming straight, I.M. Pei stopped and walked towards Xia Yu.

"Mr. Bei, you've worked hard!"

"Mr. Xia, this is what I should do. It is my honor to be able to do this design."

Xia Yu and Ieoh Ming Pei shook hands and greeted each other for a while.

Xia Yu fixed his gaze on the architectural model in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Bei, I wonder if you can introduce your design to me."

"Certainly, please come closer."

When Xia Yu and others approached, IM Pei pointed to the tower-shaped building on the sand table and introduced Xia Yu.

"Mr. Xia, according to the design, this skyscraper covers an area of ​​15,600 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​480,000 square meters, a total height of 520 meters, and a whole shape of nine sections. Tower shape."

"The entire building is divided into four levels, the basement, the tower base commercial podium, the office tower and the spire."

"There are three underground floors, six floors in the base commercial podium, one hundred and eight floors in the office tower, and five floors in the spire."

"Twelve floors of the office floor are a unit structure, and the entire office floor is divided into nine unit structures."

"Between the 102nd and 108th floors, a wind damper weighing 700 tons will be installed, which will use swing to slow down the building's sway and ensure the safety of the entire building."

"You have also found that there are many special numbers in the design, which is also the design concept of the whole building. The tower base commercial podium has six floors, which means 'six and six great smoothness', and the office building is one hundred and eighty. meaning."

"The office building is divided into nine units, which has three meanings. The first one is the first word of Jiuding Group, which is also the most obvious; Nine, the number is poor', according to the ancient Chinese theory of yin and yang, nine is a number representing 'yang', and the "Book of Changes" calls the yang line of the hexagram as 'nine'; the third is combined with the five layers of the spire. , which is the number of 'nine five', meaning the pinnacle of the world."

"In terms of shape, the whole building is like a strong bamboo knot climbing up, and it is more than flexible. The nine bamboo knots symbolize infinite potential and contain the endless connotation of traditional Chinese architecture."

As Ieoh Ming Pei continued to talk, the smile on Xia Yu's face became more and more prosperous, and he looked at this architectural model with love.

Last year, many subordinates suggested to him that the Jiuding Group still lacks a headquarters building. The current Jiuding Building with dozens of floors or the Jiuding Financial Building in Central are not representative and cannot demonstrate the strength of the group. .

He also took into account that the economic and social stability of Xiangjiang needs a needle to stabilize the sea, and that Xiangjiang also needs to be famous all over the world. There is a hallmark feature, and he also needs to cheer for the Chinese in Hong Kong and the world.

Combining multiple considerations, he decided to build a world-first skyscraper in Hong Kong as his headquarters.

So last year, he invited I.M. Pei, who had just completed the design of the Louvre, to design his headquarters building, and told him some ideas that he needed a tower-shaped building.

So after nearly a year of design, there is this masterpiece in front of us.
