Rebirth of the Wild Age

IM Pei brought the whole family this time. Apart from his wife Lu Shuhua, he also has three sons and a daughter, and even brought his 8-year-old granddaughter Bei Anna.

They didn't seem to want to be disturbed, so they came here quietly, and after visiting the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and other scenic spots, Song Weiyang suddenly received the news.

Old Bei, why didn't you tell me in advance? I wanted to be your tour guide myself. Song Weiyang said polite words when they met.

I.M. Pei shook hands and said with a smile, Mr. Song is a busy man, so he doesn't need to waste time on such trivial matters.

Song Weiyang shook hands with the rest of the Bei family one after another, hugged and teased the chubby girl named Beanna, and then drove them back to the courtyard with the extended Lincoln.

This time, I didn't choose Li's cuisine for the welcome banquet, because I.M. Pei belonged to the southern taste. Song Weiyang specially invited famous chefs from Suzhou cuisine, and made several jars of top-quality Shaoxing rice wine.

The banquet was held in the courtyard of my own house. This place was robbed several times a year. The nearby residents already knew that it was the courtyard of the richest man. There were always some loafers trying to steal something valuable.

There is usually a security guard in the courtyard and an aunt who is responsible for cleaning and maintenance. When encountering thieves, she can only shout stop the thief. In the Gaomen compound, there is no need to move the big items, and the small items are not very valuable. Even the Chinese paintings hanging in the house are fakes worth hundreds of dollars.

Especially low, totally incompatible with the wealth of the richest man, but who made Song Weiyang not live here.

There are a few sets of mahogany furniture that are quite valuable, but the thieves don't know the goods, and they would rather take the trouble to remove small appliances.

Two months ago, the courtyard house was stolen again.

The motherboard of the desktop computer in Song Weiyang's bedroom was directly dismantled by the thief, and the mouse and keyboard were snatched away. The thief didn't want the display because it was too bulky to walk over the wall with the stolen goods.

Installing a surveillance camera didn't work. The thief was caught for the first time, but because the amount of theft was relatively small, he was only sentenced to 6 months in prison. The thieves after that have learned to be good, and they can always find the blind spot of the camera to sneak in, and then cover the camera with a cloth to steal things swaggeringly.

Song Weiyang is estimated to be the most stolen rich man in China...

Song Weiyang came to Beijing some time ago, and left a famous watch before leaving, and then pressed a note on the watch: Rolex, the market price is 120,000 yuan. According to the provisions of Article 264 of my country's Criminal Law, stealing this watch is a huge amount. It should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and a fine. You have two choices now: first, leave with the watch, and then pay my reward for arrest; second, call the number on the note and help me look at it later Home. The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and there is no five social insurance and one housing fund, but you can play Legend in the concierge, and if it is stolen, it will be stolen by you.

The thief hesitated again and again, and has since become the porter of the courtyard. With Song Weiyang's consent, he also brought in a friend, and the two took turns guarding the gate here. It is more effective than hiring regular security guards, because they are all nearby residents. When they yelled out, all the left and right guards were dispatched, and the previous security guard was fired directly.

Mr. Song, please come in! Yuan Bangyong opened the door with a nod and bow.

This kid is in his early 20s. He has not studied since he graduated from high school. He hangs around in the society all day long and has been locked up several times for stealing. Now he is very prosperous, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, playing games all day, and even a year-end bonus, he has almost caught up with the white-collar workers.

A few days ago, some former accomplices came to him, saying that they planned to kidnap the richest man with internal and external cooperation. They even prepared tools such as ropes.

Yuan Bangyong agreed on the surface, and then ran to call the police. As soon as the public security organ heard that someone wanted to kidnap the richest man, they were so frightened that they immediately arrested that guy. The court's judgment was extremely fast, and all previous cases were uncovered, including attempted kidnapping, burglary, fraud (touching porcelain)... Counting crimes and punishing , sentenced to six years in prison and fined 5,000 yuan.

Shabi kidnapped the richest man. Others don't know, but Yuan Bangyong still doesn't know? Every time Song Weiyang came to live in the courtyard, he would bring at least two bodyguards with him, all of them tall and strong men. After a little inquiry, I knew that these bodyguards were veterans who had killed people on the battlefield.

It's so nourishing to be an honest doorman and get paid!

Song Weiyang nodded at this guy, and said with a smile: Xiao Yuan has worked hard. This time, I will entertain Mr. I.M. Parents should also try something new, and Xiao Zhang also remember to bring a copy at home.

Thank you, Mr. Song! Yuan Bangyong was very moved.

Song Weiyang used to live in a courtyard house, and often leftovers were brought home by the aunt in charge of cleaning and maintenance. Song Weiyang simply asked the cook to make more when he ate a big meal, so these leftovers were left untouched.

When Yuan Bangyong knew about this while chatting with his aunt, he immediately felt that Mr. Song was too generous and different from other rich people in society.

It's not about a meal or two, it's about feeling respected.

After changing shifts that afternoon, Yuan Bangyong returned home with a bag of big meals, and threw it on the table awesomely and said, Try all of them. The Su cuisine made by a super chef, Mr. Song specially invited to entertain international friends. Mr. Song especially Think highly of me, and ask the cook to make an extra portion.

Seeing his parents and younger sister eating with relish and full of praise, Yuan Bangyong felt so proud. He used to be scolded every time he went home.

With Erlang's legs crossed, smoking a cigarette and drinking a little wine, Yuan Bangyong said with his nostrils turned to the sky: Ahem, my sister's work has been settled. Mr. Song thinks highly of me. When I told him today, he immediately said: OK, Xiao Yuan's younger sister is from my own family, so I'm sure you can trust her, go to Ark Technology as a clerk!

Really? The little girl was surprised, and the parents also smiled.

In fact, Ark Technology is expanding its scale. Yuan Bangyong's younger sister graduated from a technical secondary school. Although the technical secondary school is no longer useful at this time, it is definitely not a problem to be a clerk. You can join the job after just a pre-job training, and Song Weiyang agreed.

Then can there be fakes? Yuan Bangyong felt that his life was complete, and he exhorted, little girl, you have to work hard when you join Ark Technology. It is a big company supported by the central government. This time, Mr. Song invited international friends , is to build a building specially for Ark. Mr. Song said that there is still some induction training, you should be careful when you learn, and don’t put on airs because of your brother’s relationship. Let’s keep a low profile, you know?”

Yeah! The little girl nodded repeatedly.

On the other side of the courtyard, IM Pei was sitting in the yard drinking tea. He looked at the layout of the courtyard and asked, Has this courtyard been reformed?

Please ask someone to correct it, it was rotten before. Song Weiyang said.

I.M. Pei said: The person in charge of renovating the yard is a master gardener who is well versed in the essence of northern gardens. What's more rare is that it is perfectly integrated into modern facilities. It truly combines Chinese and Western styles, and blends ancient and modern. If I have time, I would like to talk to this master. The master communicates.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: Mr. Bei, if you want to communicate, this is the right time. The master is a professor of Tsinghua University. He has presided over the restoration of many ancient buildings in China. Now he is free during the summer vacation.

I said the reform was so good, so it turned out to be an expert from Tsinghua University! IM Pei exclaimed.

Song Weiyang said: Mr. Bei also has research on Chinese gardens?

IM Pei said modestly: Research is not counted, and it is definitely not one percent of that Tsinghua expert. Although I am in the Guangdong Senior Official University, as the eldest son of the family, I am required to return to Suzhou City every summer to understand and familiarize myself. So before going abroad at the age of 18, I spent every summer in the Lion Garden. Rockery, stone bridges, ponds, waterfalls...everything in the gardens of Suzhou City left me with endless memories and fantasies. Design thinking has shaped my life.”

Song Weiyang couldn't help laughing and said, So the Lion Garden used to be your home.

Hahahaha, IM Pei also laughed, Why does this sound a bit awkward?

Song Weiyang asked: I heard that you have visited the software park?

IM Pei nodded and said, I went for a stroll. What do Mr. Song want from the building?

Song Weiyang said: The full name of the building is 'Ark Science and Technology Building'. It must have a sense of science fiction and the future. It is best to be connected with the word 'Ark'.

I.M. Pei said: I also read the materials of Ark Company, and I have a little immature preliminary idea. I set the conceptual design as 'riding the wind and waves', and the whole building should have the feeling of a sailing ship. Well, generally speaking, it is not about the appearance. It resembles a sailboat, but when people see the building, they think of a sailboat, and think of sailing directly on the clouds and riding the wind and waves.

It's ok, let's design according to this idea. Song Weiyang said.

IM Pei added: I hope to incorporate some Chinese elements, is this possible?

Song Weiyang said, No problem.

IM Pei also accepted interviews with domestic media earlier this year, and by the way made complaints about it. He basically said that Chinese cities are developing too fast, and the urban buildings are similar, and there is no Chinese color at all. He also said that China now lacks not only good architects, but also knowledgeable employers. Chinese employers will only make one request: any design is fine, as long as it is something I have never seen before.

This old man probably wanted to design a modern building with Chinese elements for a long time, and he happened to accept Song Weiyang's order to fulfill his wish. As for what is only involved in the conceptual design, and the specific design is left to my son, I am afraid it is just not breaking my promise to close the mountain.

The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year I was born...

Song Weiyang was chatting enthusiastically with I.M. Pei when suddenly the phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Larry Page calling.

Is it night over there? What's the rush? Song Weiyang asked.

Larry Page asked: Song, did you acquire Android?

I don't understand what you said? Song Weiyang said.

Larry Page was very depressed and said: Google has been talking about buying Android for half a year, and even the price has been finalized. Suddenly, a Chinese stepped in and signed a lightning contract with 30 million US dollars more than Google. Except for you, I am really I can't think of any Chinese who will buy it at a premium in the United States!

Song Weiyang was also speechless: Android's security measures are too poor, you even asked about the price.

It really is you! Larry Page was very angry, Song, we are partners, this kind of thing should communicate with each other. Google's bid of 50 million US dollars is already very high, you don't need to spend 80 million US dollars to buy it. Android, our joint acquisition is a good thing for both parties.”

Since you are so optimistic about Android, I can let Google take a 10% stake. Song Weiyang said.

Larry Page said: It's too low, at least 60%, otherwise I might as well buy other systems, and Android is not the only one that makes mobile phone systems.

Song Weiyang said: Let's do this, Google holds 45% of the shares, and we will improve Android together.

Larry Page thought for a while and said, Yes.

Larry Page really didn't think about long-term things, nor did he expect the future of smartphones. He bought Android just because he didn't want to be restrained by Apple. Even Android was not open source at the beginning. After a very low-key acquisition, Google continued to develop it. It was not until Apple launched a smartphone that Google made Android open source and attracted a large number of manufacturers from around the world to form the Open Mobile Alliance.

In the next five or six years, Apple will belong to the big boss, and other companies can only unite to fight monsters.

And Song Weiyang also had to cooperate with Google, otherwise, even if he bought Android, he would at most form a similar alliance in China, and he would not be able to promote it to the world at all. If Larry Page does not agree to cooperate, he will take advantage of his domestic relations to take the lead in forming the China Mobile Alliance, and Google’s mobile phone system will not be included in the alliance formed by China’s Google. Companies such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom are also members. .
