Hong Kong Comic Master
Chapter 379: Capping Ceremony
When Li Wannian got out of the car, noisy sounds hit him.
"General Manager, Director Li, welcome you both to come and give us guidance!"
As soon as Li Wannian got out of the car following Li Wanshui, several people came up to him, bowed and nodded.
"Stop talking about these useless things. Are you ready for the ceremony? How long until it starts?"
"Everything is ready, and all the invited guests have opened their doors. There are still fifteen minutes left for the ceremony! You two can take a rest in the lounge first!"
"No, just take us to meet the guests in ten minutes!"
Li Wanshui waved his hand and rejected the other party's proposal, but pointed at the crowd not far away.
"Okay! This is the general manager, please!"
After the visitor nodded, he planned to lead the two of them forward.
"Wannian, let's go over there...what are you looking at?"
Li Wanshui originally planned to call Li Wannian over, but he saw Li Wannian looking up into the distance. He followed Li Wannian's gaze and found that it was a high-rise building.
"I see!"
Seeing this situation, Li Wanshui did not bother Li Wannian anymore, but followed his subordinates to take care of the guests.
He and Li Wanshui were right. What Li Wannian was looking at at this time was the two-dimensional building that had just been topped out not far away.
From the purchase of this land in 1984 to the official start of construction in 1985, after nearly three years of construction, the building finally topped out today.
After the top is capped, it will take about half a year for the building to be delivered and my company to officially move in.
By then, DreamWorks, ACG Magazine, Shenlong Animation, Xingrong Toys, etc., and various companies under the Li family will all move into the tallest building in Hong Kong Island!
The entire building is composed of the simplest lines. The bottom ten floors of the building are almost square. After that, the upward and outward side extends diagonally upward, while the other two sides narrow toward the center and diagonally upward. The extended sides meet; after more than ten floors, the two wings that were originally narrowed inward are narrowed diagonally upward, thus returning the top ten floors to a smaller square building form.
Then there is a several-story double-column long pole-shaped building with multiple functions of decoration, communication, and lightning protection.
Its exterior lines are simple and clear, with smooth light ink and slightly silvery white reflective glass walls, coupled with silvery white smooth and wide metal sheets, inlaid at the four corners of the building, with a slanting silvery white large sign in the middle of each facet. cross.
It is so anti-traditional, anti-glorious, and anti-complicated. The most modern building, the new landmark of Hong Kong Island, is actually my own. Life is really magical!
"Master Bei, I have admired you for a long time!"
"No, Mr. Li, after all, I designed the child myself. I must take a look at him when he is born!"
Li Wannian heard a voice not far ahead and looked away. He looked over and found that the person talking to Li Wanshui was an old man wearing glasses and slightly stout.
"Wannian, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is the world-renowned Master Pei Yuming!"
Seeing Li Wannian come to his senses, Li Wanshui quickly took care of Li Wannian and introduced him to him.
The amiable old man in front of me is none other than the world-famous Chinese architectural designer Pei Luming.
The reason why I came to Hong Kong Island from the United States this time was because I was invited by Li Wanshui to attend the topping out ceremony.
"I have long admired your name, Master Bei!"
"Mr. Li's name is also very familiar to me!"
Bei Luming shook hands with Li Wannian with a smile, seemingly without any airs.
"Master Bei is so polite. Have you read my comics?"
"I don't, but I often hear people talk about it in America. Besides, my grandson really likes your "Transformers"."
"So that's the case, that's really my honor!"
"It's just that the toy is too expensive. My grandchildren bought more than a dozen of them, and they fight over them every day!"
"Hahaha, then later, I will give more to Master Bei, so that your grandson will not fight again!"
Although the two were decades apart in age and had just met for the first time, they talked happily like old friends.
"Master Bei, the ceremony is about to begin, please come this way!"
While Li Wannian was talking to Bei Lunming, another subordinate came to report to Li Wanshui. Then Li Wanshui came over and invited Bei Lunming to attend the ceremony.
This time the capping ceremony was held grandly by DreamWorks.
Not only did a huge platform be built in front of the building, but many celebrities were also invited, including the building's designer, the government's Secretary for Transport, the Secretary for Security, and heads of many related companies, such as Chen Weixian. His father, Chen Jiarong, was sitting among the crowd.
In addition, many reporters came to the scene, including from TV stations and newspapers.
Seeing that the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, Li Wanshui walked onto the stage amidst a burst of applause.
"Dear guests, distinguished guests, good morning, everyone. I am very happy that you can participate in the topping out ceremony of the Second Dimension Building. The completion of this building is not only a matter for our DreamWorks Company, but also a matter for Hong Kong Island. A landmark building.
The reason why it is named Second Dimension, instead of DreamWorks, is to further promote the Second Dimension culture and to make Hong Kong Island a Second Dimension city..."
Li Wanshui on the stage was talking to hundreds of people in the audience.
Li Wannian in the audience was still chatting non-stop with Master Bei Luming sitting aside.
"The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum didn't borrow the image of the pyramids in ancient Egypt?"
"Yes, those are the most common geometric shapes. The pyramid shape not only has a small surface area, but can also reflect the ever-changing sky of Paris, and can also provide good lighting for underground facilities. It is a perfect fusion of classic and modern!"
The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris is almost the most famous architectural design of Pei Luming, but it is still under construction and will probably be officially completed next year.
Pei Luming is also very satisfied with his work.
I still remember that when the French government widely solicited design plans, President Mitterrand invited fifteen reputable museum directors in the world to select the design plans. In the end, thirteen directors chose Pei Luming's design.
At that time, when this design plan was announced, it caused an uproar in France. People believed that this would destroy the style of this ancient building with a history of 800 years.
Of course, in the end, these French people still couldn't escape the "true fragrance law".
"Master Bei, you are really amazing, but I have a request. After the ceremony is over, can you help me look at a design drawing?"
"What design drawing?"
"I made the design drawing myself. I am an amateur. I would like to ask you for guidance!"
