My Life Can Hang

Xue Ningzhi blushed, a little embarrassed to be exposed: "No, let's eat together, I'll have Japanese breakfast."

"Row."

Chen Dongcheng called the waiter and asked them to prepare two Japanese breakfasts, and then looked at Xue Ningzhi.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Xue Ningzhi couldn't stand Chen Dongcheng's playful gaze, and said angrily.

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile, "I'm not looking at what kind of vinegar Sister Xue ate in the morning, how stupid I am to leave Sister Xue to find those women?"

Xue Ningzhi rolled her eyes and turned on the TV casually: "Don't compare me to them. They rely on their own bodies to make money. I don't object, but I don't agree either."

Chen Dongcheng asked with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, has Tadao Ando been found?"

Xue Ningzhi snorted softly: "Of course, he is in Tokyo now. After breakfast, I will take you to his house."

After eating a delicious Japanese breakfast, Chen Dongcheng felt a little underwhelmed, but Xue Ningzhi was a little supportive.

Take the hotel concierge car and rush to the location that Xue Ningzhi said.

Setagaya District is also one of the most famous wealthy districts in Tokyo.

In the Setagaya district, dignitaries can be seen everywhere.

The mere fact that each house is individually designed is in stark contrast to the high-rise buildings in the metropolis of Tokyo.

"Yes, it's the one on the left. Just stop here."

Xue Ningzhi found Tadao Ando's address by comparing the house number on the phone.

Chen Dongcheng and Xue Ningzhi got off the car, and immediately found that this villa was a little different from other villas.

Although it is not too big, the design style is very similar to those of Tadao Ando's works.

The concrete style that looks like rough ore is actually incorporating many ingenious light and shadow ideas.

Every design is just right.

Xue Ningzhi politely rang the doorbell, and after indicating her intention, the door was opened.

Chen Dongcheng and Xue Ningzhi walked into the villa.

This villa is not too big, only two stories high, but there is a courtyard in front of the villa.

There was also a pond of carp in the courtyard, which immediately made the whole courtyard come alive.

The door of the villa was opened, and an old man in his seventies walked out. It was Tadao Ando himself.

chapter 459, the theory of winning

Tadao Ando's home is not luxurious, but hangs a lot of photo frames.

Some of them were taken during Tadao Ando's travels, and some are some of his most famous works.

Japanese people and Chinese people have the same name structure, with the first name after the last name.

Xue Ningzhi said with a smile: "Mr. Ando, ​​the last time I saw you was in Pengcheng. Your lecture at that time made my memory especially."

"Miss Xue, you're welcome. You and Nagata are good friends. Nagata also told me your intentions."

Tadao Ando asked with a smile: "It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of top international architectural firms bidding for the project of Cao Cao Financial Tower. Why did Miss Xue and Mr. Chen have to come to Japan to ask me to take the shot?"

Xue Ningzhi smiled at Chen Dongcheng and said, "My friend appreciates your work very much. If possible, he very much hopes that your architectural firm can participate in the bidding."

Tadao Ando looked at Chen Dongcheng carefully, and said with a smile: "Of course, the firm under my name will definitely participate in the bidding.

It's just that my body can't support this kind of high-intensity work.

I would like to recommend my apprentice, Nagata whom Miss Xue knew.

He has the ability, he just lacks such an opportunity. "

Xue Ningzhi hesitated for a while, then looked at Chen Dongcheng: "What do you think?"

"Look at the works and talk. As long as the design is satisfactory to me, I am willing to adopt it even if it is an unknown newcomer."

This sentence was directly spoken by Chen Dongcheng in Japanese.

Tadao Ando was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Dongcheng to speak Japanese so well.

"Please rest assured, our Ando office will not disappoint you."

Tadao Ando is indeed a living legend in the construction industry. He has removed five internal organs one after another and is still tenaciously active in the front line of the construction industry.

On the way back to the hotel after leaving Ando's house, Xue Ningzhi still felt a little regretful.

"Tadao Ando's works in the past two years are indeed a bit small, but Nagata is recognized as a rising star in the architectural field who is most likely to inherit the mantle of Tadao Ando, ​​so we can look forward to it."

Chen Dongcheng looked out the window and smiled lightly: "I still say that, I only look at works."

Back at the hotel, Chen Dongcheng took a nap.

Xie Jingyu knocked on the door to report when he saw that Chen Dongcheng was awake.

"Boss, there is an architect named Naoyuki Nagata who wants to visit you and is waiting for you in the lobby of Aman."

"I see."

Chen Dongcheng washed his face and came to the Aman lobby in a hurry.

A middle-aged man in a suit was chatting and laughing with Xue Ningzhi.

"You are here. Let me introduce you. This is Naoyuki Nagata, the proud disciple of Mr. Tadao Ando. I have cooperated with me several times before, and he is quite a close friend."

Xue Ningzhi pointed her right finger at Naozhi Naoda after the introduction, and smiled: "Nagata, you should be familiar with this one, so I don't need to introduce more, right?"

"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Naoyuki Nagata, this is my business card, please give me more advice."

Naoyuki Naoda handed over his business card, and Chen Dongcheng also took his business card as a gift.

When the Japanese meet for the first time, they attach great importance to exchanging business cards.

If you don't change your business card, it may be misunderstood that you don't want to communicate with the other person.

Naoyuki Nagata's business card is a bit complicated, "Ando Architects, Chief Architect, Naoyuki Nagata..."

On the other hand, Chen Dongcheng's business card only has his name and a series of numbers.

At his level, there is no need to use the company as an embellishment.

After exchanging business cards, Naoyuki Nagata kept a humble smile on his face.

In the meantime, I will also take some anecdotes from the construction industry and share them with Chen Dongcheng and Xue Ningzhi.

After a while, Naochi Naoda said with a serious face: "Mr. Chen, our Ando Office has also paid attention to the global bidding of the Cao Cao Financial Headquarters Building. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to compete fairly, and I will do it as soon as possible. Come up with a design that makes you happy."

"Mr. Ando is a designer I admire very much. I believe that you, as his proud disciple, will not let me down."

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "I only have one requirement for Cao Cao Financial Building, and that is to be fast! From design to delivery, I hope it can be controlled within one year."

"A year?"

Naozhi Naoda frowned suddenly, a little surprised that Chen Dongcheng would be so anxious.

"Is there a problem?"

"No."

Naoyuki Nagata shook his head, although the outside world was more optimistic about him, but after all, he did not have any works that he could produce.

Naoyuki Naoda desperately needs such an opportunity to prove himself.

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "That's good. Within a month, I hope to see Mr. Nagata's works, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."

"must!"

Naozhi Naoda solemnly nodded, shook hands with Chen Dongcheng, and left quickly.

It is indeed a bit difficult to see the complete design plan in a month.

But for Naoyuki Nagata, this is not impossible.

It's a big deal to have more liver bursts and stay up late.

The chance to become famous is just a few times.

If you can't catch it, you can really only be lost to the public.

……

Naozhi Nagata left, and Chen Dongcheng brought Xue Ningzhi to Ginza.

Compared to Shibuya, Ginza is much taller.

There are luxury cars and luxury stores everywhere, and of course, the familiar mother tongue is also in the ear.

When Chinese people come to Japan to travel, Ginza will almost always come to check in.

Among the many luxury stores in Ginza, the number of Chinese tourists is also the largest.

But they didn't come here for consumption. They came to a high-end office building in Ginza, and Jin Yang was waiting downstairs early.

"Chen Dong."

Jin Yang opened the car door and greeted with a smile.

Moving from Shibuya to Ginza doesn't seem that far.

But the cost gap between them is enough to make Jin Yang's flesh hurt.

Fortunately, from yesterday, Douyin officially launched its globalization development strategy.

The funds received by the major overseas offices have increased too much than before.

In particular, there is a precedent for the Tokyo office, and the Douyin headquarters is very clear.

The office environment of major offices around the world shall not be lower than the industry average standard, and the specific standard shall be determined by the local person in charge.

Jin Yang all the way proudly introduced the many modern facilities of this building, and Chen Dongcheng listened absently.

There are several buildings in his name alone.
