We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The reason Mr. Pei hadn't considered living and working outside of the United States was simply because his friends were all there, and he was used to that lifestyle. Besides, the United States is one of the most developed regions in the world.

"As the ancients said, 'A tall tree with a thousand branches returns to its roots when its leaves fall.' Although Mr. Pei has lived in the United States for decades, it's not truly your home. Your roots are in China. Mr. Pei is now in his early sixties. Why not consider returning to Chinese society?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Mr. Su, the idea of returning to one's roots is something I've also considered. As I get older, my feelings for China haven't faded; instead, my longing for home has grown stronger. However, my family, my career, my connections—everything is almost entirely in the United States. Leaving there wouldn't be easy!" Mr. Pei said with emotion.

Many overseas Chinese, when they get old, think about returning to their ancestral home.

However, many find that their hometown has become unfamiliar, and the relatives they knew are no longer there. When they want to return, they discover that there are many difficulties.

Like Mr. Pei, his children all work in the United States. If he were to return to China, it would mean separating from his children.

Although they might not see each other often in the United States, at least they could see each other if they wanted to.

So, the idea of returning to one's roots is often just a thought. In reality, not many overseas Chinese can act on it.

Mr. Pei was the same.

Su Cheng had read an article in his previous life that was about Mr. Pei. There was a sentence in it that left a deep impression on Su Cheng: 'Although he traveled far across the ocean, Mr. Pei never forgot that his roots were in China. Whenever he was asked where he was from, Mr. Pei always answered, "I am from China."'

This shows that he still has a lot of affection for China!

"Mr. Pei, transportation is so convenient now that going anywhere is just a matter of time. As for your career, I think Mr. Pei, your reputation in the architectural design industry is already big enough. You can achieve success anywhere you go. Moreover, if Mr. Pei is willing to come and create a career with me, my connections will be Mr. Pei's connections. Although I'm a bit young, my reputation in the business world should be more useful than Mr. Pei's in terms of connections," Su Cheng continued.

From the information he got from Xiao Ai, Su Cheng knew that this Mr. Pei would later leave I.M. Pei \u0026 Partners to work for other companies. Before that, he had also worked for several companies and even started his own business, which shows that Mr. Pei wasn't necessarily someone who would only stay at one company.

He wasn't like Zhang Zhongmou or Yang Chaoye, who basically stayed at one company for two or three decades after entering society.

What Mr. Pei was more concerned about was probably that his relatives and friends were all in the United States.

"I'll consider it. If I have the idea of returning, I'll prioritize Hong Kong as my next stop," Mr. Pei didn't explicitly refuse.

Of course, Su Cheng knew that this was just a polite remark.

"If Mr. Pei comes to Hong Kong, I will invite Mr. Pei to be the head of our architectural design company with the best treatment in the industry. And if Mr. Pei's children are willing to come, I will arrange their work properly.

Mr. Pei should also be able to see that Asia is the fastest-growing region in the world. The cities gathered here, such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Bangkok, Hong Kong, etc., are rapidly becoming world-class international cities. This means that these cities will constantly build buildings, including a large number of skyscrapers.

Therefore, the demand for architectural design here is very high. The career development here is no worse than in the United States. Mr. Pei, you often come to Asia to take on projects in recent years, so you should also be able to see that you have been to more countries and cities than me, so I don’t need to say too much. Therefore, I can guarantee that if Mr. Pei comes to work in Hong Kong, I can promise that your base salary will be directly twice as high as your current company, and your total income can at least double compared to the United States!"

Su Cheng's words were very sincere.

Moreover, Mr. Pei agreed with these things he said.

Because throughout the 1970s, Mr. Pei's I.M. Pei \u0026 Partners undertook a large number of design projects in Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, and the volume of business even surpassed that of the United States. That's why he often had to fly over from the United States.

Work is all about money.

For someone like Mr. Pei, a big name in the industry, talking about the future and ideals is useless. The most direct way is to talk about treatment!

In the next ten or twenty years, in addition to cities such as Singapore, Manila, Bangkok, and Hong Kong, high-rise buildings will also spring up like bamboo shoots in the mainland's Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Modu, and Dijing.

Therefore, if Su Cheng has a world-class architectural design company, he will really not lack business!

Mr. Pei is a gold-lettered signboard in the industry. With him, even if the architectural design company is just established, it will not worry about no one asking!

So, how to invite Mr. Pei over?

The easiest way is to throw money at it!

Double the base salary, and promise to double the total income. If this still doesn't attract Mr. Pei, Su Cheng won't believe it.

Although people like Mr. Pei have already achieved financial freedom, no one doesn't want more money.

Just like Su Cheng, who has now become the recognized richest man in the world, he is still constantly making money.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Although money can never be earned enough, very few people are satisfied with the status quo. Most people still hope that they have more and more money.

In Hong Kong, a large number of skyscrapers will continue to be built.

However, there are currently no top architectural design companies in the entire Hong Kong. Not to mention top-notch, there are no first-class ones.

And there are almost no powerful architectural design companies in Taiwan and Singapore near Hong Kong. These awesome design companies are basically concentrated in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, if Su Cheng now has an architectural design company with a very high reputation, he will not worry about not having business at all, and may even be too busy!

Pulling Mr. Pei over, he is a treasure of the store. Doubling the base salary is worth it!

Moreover, Mr. Pei's income in the United States is at most a million dollars a year.

Doubling it is not too much for Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, I will discuss this matter with my wife after I return to the United States. During my stay in Hong Kong, I will do my best to design a building that satisfies you for Mr. Su!" Mr. Pei seemed a little tempted. (End of this chapter)
