Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 269 Approval (24)

  Mr. McCord personally contacted him about the land. Manhattan Island has been developed for more than a century. There are only a few lands that are willing to sell. You can always find them by asking someone.

  After becoming the executive officer of Danshui Investment Group, he used his social talent to meet many people, such as the real estate tycoon who lives upstairs in Ye Dongqing's house. If there is any news, Pu Chuan must know.

It is strange to say that they are neighbors, but Ye Dongqing has lived here for so long, and has never seen each other once, as if he has a deep will (harmony) and does not want the two to get involved, but he also treats that guy I have no interest, so it doesn't matter if I know you or not.

Mr. McCord showed 100% enthusiasm for building the building. He called the other party on the spot and learned that there were good land plots, but the price was generally high, and there were restrictions on building height. Not a lot.

Ye Dongqing called Mr. Bloomberg and said that there were some things that needed to be discussed with him face to face, not business matters. When he learned that the other party was at the city hall at the moment, he immediately took his coat and went downstairs, telling McCord to continue Just ask, it’s best to send someone to do an on-the-spot inspection. The price doesn’t matter. The New York property market has not had a big bubble recently.

I went to the architectural design firm first, and got the first draft from them. The real building has just started to be designed. He just wants to let Bloomberg know what it looks like, the building that has been rendered in color They are pretty, and they come in all colors. Ye Dongqing picked two to wear, one in red and black, and one in yellow and black.

  At first, I thought red and black were pretty evil, but after seeing the dark green concept drawing, I realized that making the building in this color looks more like a snake. Ye Dongqing was so disgusted that she directly passed the other colors. Prepare to choose one of red and black and yellow and black, preferably the one that can change several colors, with black as the main color, which looks cool, like a steel monster in a science fiction movie.

   Didn’t stay in the architectural design office for a long time, and asked them to come up with the design plan as soon as possible. Ye Dongqing took two rolled-up drawings and got into the car again, heading for the New York City Hall in the lower city...

The explosive growth of wealth is mainly due to the success of Facebook. Every increase in valuation means that his book wealth has increased. His net worth has approached Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who founded Bloomberg News. One of the successful businessmen.

  No one knows where Ye Dongqing's potential lies. When he came to the city hall, many people greeted him warmly, and an assistant personally led him to the door of Mr. Bloomberg's office.

After knocking on the door and walking in, the two shook hands warmly. Mr. Bloomberg focused on Ye Dongqing's left hand and asked, "Why are you here when you are free? I haven't seen you here before." , very welcome."

"Isn't there something I want to ask sir for your help? I am going to build a brand new skyscraper in Manhattan, which is enough to replace the Empire State Building as the new landmark of New York. You know the impression that the Empire State Building has in people's minds, right? It's too bad."

   "How tall is the building?"

"500 meters or 600 meters, it will be determined by the cost at that time. I want to know if the city hall has any restrictions in this regard. If the tallest building in the United States is placed in Manhattan, it will be good news for you, sir. After all, like There are not many investors like me who only care about the building itself and don't consider the cost.

  Before you see this blueprint, you’d better be mentally prepared. As I just said, this is a very cool building, but it may not be acceptable to everyone. I am going to name it the Cobra Building. "

Ye Dongqing had been vaccinated in advance. These words made Mr. Bloomberg look suspicious. Now he is very worried that the building is the image of a cobra. In Western culture, snakes often represent evil, such as deceiving Adam and Eva in the Bible. The snake that ate the apple, such as various evil snake symbols in the Middle Ages, etc.

  If this is the case, Mr. Bloomberg feels that most New Yorkers will not agree to build this building in New York. No one wants to look up and see a building that disgusts them.

After putting on the glasses, he opened the design drawing, looked at it with surprise, and said to Ye Dongqing: "I usually think snakes are disgusting, but this building doesn't disgust me. On the contrary, I think it is more beautiful, but I The opinion is not very useful, this design style is a bit risky.

I may not give you any positive answer until I do my research and know what the people of New York think, but I can imagine what it will look like after it is built. Maybe young people will support you and plan to build it in where? "

Bloomberg probably guessed why Ye Dongqing came to visit him before building the building. The Cobra Building is different from other skyscrapers with different shapes. Its image will cause quite a bit of controversy. It is impossible to casually agree to build such a building in the city he manages, so he expressed his true thoughts before Ye Dongqing asked.

  “I think it’s okay for Midtown near the East River, or near the new site of the World Trade Center, or near Central Park.

  There will be high-end hotels, bars and nightclubs, high-end restaurants, top-level apartments for rent, etc., and you can park a helicopter in your mind. The overall shape is like a cobra-shaped trophy, and there will be a two- to three-story circular shopping mall underneath. "

Ye Dongqing paused for a moment and continued: "You can also change its name to Solomon Building. According to legend, the cobra is the animal that protects him. It is a positive and sunny symbol in ancient Egyptian culture. If I fix its color It’s yellow, it might look more sunny and positive.”

To be honest, he himself is also struggling, and it is foreseeable that after the design drawing is released, it will inevitably arouse heated discussions among New York residents, even if it only changes a little bit the impression of this building in people's minds, so that people do not feel that it represents "Evil" is good news for Ye Dongqing.

  No way, except for this building, he has no interest in other buildings, not even the Candle Building in the Wind in Dubai or the Spiral Building in Chicago.

Mayor Bloomberg shrugged his shoulders and said that he could not help Ye Dongqing, saying: "You should come up with a few cooler concept drawings, and then ask young New Yorkers on the Internet, if you are really determined to use With this building built, I can offer you a little help.

  After changing to a positive snake god, it will indeed make people more comfortable, you should look up more myths and legends, and come up with a better name..."
