Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

I have a business plan.

There is also a design drawing paper that expresses your own opinions and demands.

The next most urgent task is to find a designer to make the plan feasible and implement it thoroughly.

August 18, 1994.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xuan and Li Mei came to No. 228 Tianhe Road.

The two of them walked around the textile factory, and Zhang Xuan began to draw pie for the 30 remaining employees.

Zhang Xuan told them that if they could bear with it a little longer, big things would be done soon, and new and promising positions would be arranged for them.

After leaving the textile factory, Zhang Xuan solemnly said to Li Mei: "We need to recruit people as soon as possible. We need to recruit capable people with specific skills and managers. We need to provide pre-job training to these 30 employees in advance and transform their thinking." , let them get rid of the old habits of the past, cultivate a sense of crisis, and adapt to our rhythm."

Li Mei agreed: "I will make arrangements when I get back."

Zhang Xuan added: "You should quickly find someone to depreciate and dispose of those old machines in the textile factory.

This opportunity cannot be missed, time is not waiting for me. Our first task is to build a shopping mall and quickly make money to make money and provide us with cash cows. "

Li Mei nodded.

Zhang Xuan continued to give instructions: "This is the first time for both of us in the mall, we are both laymen, and we are crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In this area, we still need to ask professionals to help, which can save time and effort.

I see that Wanjia Department Store in Huaqiangbei is doing such a prosperous business. A small department store can drive a commercial street. There must be many capable people in it.

You should show your fierceness and find ways to recruit a group of people to form our team. "

Li Mei smiled, "Sure, we agree on this matter. I had planned to recruit people from Wanjia Department Store and Jusco Island to train our team."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "Ha, I'm still not as good as you, you are still wild, you have thought of Jusco Island. Then I am here to wish you immediate success."

After crossing the road, the two of them found a noodle shop facing the street and ate beef noodles.

Li Mei took out a can of chopped chili peppers from her bag and placed it in front of Zhang Xuan:

"I picked this up from a friend's house last night. You should like this."

"Thank you." The beef noodles with clear soup and watery texture made Zhang Xuan's mouth almost turn into tears.

You're welcome immediately, unscrew the lid, fiddle with a few chopsticks and put them in the bowl.

In just a moment, red soup floated out of the bowl.

Eating noodles and looking at the sunny textile factory across the road, Zhang Xuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart: he was secretly happy, heroic, excited, and uneasy.

Thinking of the overall plan with an estimated investment of 1.5 billion, he didn't know whether it could be successful?

But as a human being, he decided without hesitation that his career would start from here.

Life starts from here to reach new milestones and climb to new heights.

No matter whether he loses or wins in the end, Zhang Xuan regards it as a touchstone.

He wanted to see if he could do one thing well besides writing and teaching.

Can you go from unfamiliar to familiar in other fields and achieve new achievements?

If you want to do it, do it the best and be the most eye-catching one. This is his quality, this is the confidence and courage he cultivated from writing "Wind" and "Lurking".

This is also the way he lives his life!

the following few days…

Zhang Xuan and Li Mei drove around the city in Hutou Ben, basically covering all the streets and alleys of Yangcheng.

The two successively found 14 large architectural design companies, interior design companies and art design companies.

As long as they were related to design and had some reputation, they both looked for them.

The results were hugely disappointing. None of the companies met Zhang Xuan's expectations.

Several of the bosses of construction companies had returned from studying in Europe and the United States, but after hearing Zhang Xuan’s high standards and requirements, they shook their heads, saying that their skills were limited and their abilities were insufficient.

And the most disgusting thing is that there are a few half-baked bosses whose eyes sparkled after hearing this, saying that it can be done, it can be done, it can be done, and it can be tried.

Hearing that he could try it, Zhang Xuan almost spit out blood and wanted to slap them to death!

This is a high-rise building with dozens of floors. Are you out of your mind? You can’t even answer my questions, so you want to practice with this?

Just want to make a name for yourself with this?

You are such a fucking idiot, you will do anything for money.

This scene reminded him of the days when he was engaged in foreign trade in his previous life.

Some suppliers clearly cannot do it, but they keep saying that they can do it. When the date comes and they are asked to submit samples, all kinds of reasons and excuses come up again.

The result is a waste of the customer's time and damage to one's own reputation and credibility.

Zhang Xuan never understood, what does this kind of person want?

Why do such people still exist in large numbers?

Li Mei angrily scolded an idiot who didn't know where to start. When she returned to the car, she said to Zhang Xuan:

"There is one last construction company. If this one can't do it, then we have to go to Xiangjiang to find someone, or solicit bids from architectural design companies around the world."

Zhang Xuan: "."

When he heard that he was going to invite bids from construction companies around the world, Zhang Xuan's head immediately started buzzing.

What kind of thing is this?

If it really comes to this, he doubts that the 1.5 billion budget may not be enough at all!

It may be a lot worse!

Li Mei seemed to see his sorrow, and tried to persuade him: "How about taking a step back? Postponing the landmark building and building it later when you have money?"

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes: "If you want to do it, you have to do it in one step. Delaying it later is not an option. Now the domestic economy is developing rapidly. I'm sure someone in Shanghai and Beijing will compete with us to grab the number one CBD in the country. Everything is ranked first." Only when you have a gimmick can you be attractive, so we can’t back down.”

Li Mei was very satisfied with his attitude. She sorted out her irritable mood and started to focus on driving again.

While waiting for a red street light at an intersection, Li Mei consoled her: "The last construction company is very famous. It is said that although there are not many people, they are all elites. I deliberately left it to the end. My intuition tells me that in the end, Maybe we can make it as a family.”

"Hey, I'd like to lend you some good words. I hope this is the case." After several consecutive days of failure, Zhang Xuan didn't have much expectations for this company.

His eyes glanced at the chest of a foreign girl outside the car. Zhang Xuan had already started planning to go to Xiangjiang to find someone.

The last architectural design company is located in the bustling city center of Haizhu District, not far from CUHK.

What makes Zhang Xuan a little disappointed is that he doesn't have much reputation.

The only thing that can be praised is that the decoration and design outside give people a refreshing look and feel.

After parking the car, Li Mei said, "We're here."

Zhang Xuan glanced around and stared at "Wanbang Design" for a full 10 seconds. He nodded and followed Li Mei in with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor.

The outside is not big, but the space inside is wider than expected. The surrounding scenery makes Zhang Xuan's eyes brighten up. It is very layered and three-dimensional, and it has the charm of a design company.

Six designers, two handymen, and a middle-aged husband and wife boss, this is the entire staff of Wanbang Design Company.

The boss is in his 40s, wearing a white shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, a typical professional attire. He has small eyes and a small mustache, and is quite serious.

Just one glance at Zhang Xuan made him feel like a historical celebrity, xxx.

Look left, look right, they look so similar, damn, they look so similar.

Zhang Xuan will always remember the black and white photo of this xxx in the history book, with a narration next to it, about Yuan Datou sending someone to assassinate him at the train station.

The landlady is very beautiful. This kind of beauty does not come purely from the beauty of the facial features, but from a black floral dress with the additional effect of a bun.

In other words, it is very elegant.

Just seeing these two people, Zhang Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of expectation.

Maybe it's because it's too hot outside, and the company doesn't have any other customers.

However, Zhang Xuan paid special attention. Ever since he and Li Mei came in, the six designers had been busy with their heads down except for looking up at the two of them.

It can be judged from this detail that this company has a lot of business.

Of course, it doesn’t rule out that people have practiced it well and pretend to be busy when customers come to their door.

He had reason to doubt this.

In the foreign trade company run by Yang Yongjian, his predecessor, every time he took foreign customers to visit the factory, he always played a double role with other manufacturers.

So there are still quite a few such tricks.

The boss is a turtle who studied in Germany, his surname is Qiu, and his name is Qiu Boren.

What a coincidence, what a coincidence. There is also a word for benevolence. Could it be that this guy is really the reincarnation? When he heard someone introducing himself, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think so.

The landlady's name is Chen Min, and she is a very discerning woman.

She glanced at the tigers running outside, then at the imposing appearance of Zhang Xuan and Li Mei, then waved away a female receptionist without leaving a trace, and poured herbal tea for the two of them herself.

After exchanging a few words, Chen Min's eyes lingered on the two of them, and finally he looked at Li Mei, and began to introduce the company's business. Finally, he asked: "What do you two need?"

Li Mei looked at Zhang Xuan and saw that Zhang Xuan was drinking tea seriously. She moved her mouth and began to explain her purpose.

This process took a long time, about 20 minutes.

Listening to the three people's questions and answers, Zhang Xuan slowly lost his mind, thinking that God had finally opened his eyes and finally found the right person.

Regardless of whether they can take over the job in the end, with this conversation and knowledge, they are much better than the previous ones.

When they heard that a CBD was to be built and a landmark building was to be designed, the couple looked at each other and were extremely happy. This was a big client!

This is a big crocodile!

Qiu Boren tentatively asked Li Mei: "Can I see your first draft plan?"

Li Mei looked at Zhang Xuan again.

Seeing this, Qiu Boren and Chen Min also subconsciously looked at Zhang Xuan, and then the couple looked at each other silently, their pupils full of question marks? ? ?

Zhang Xuan remained silent, pouring himself a cup of herbal tea and continuing to sip it.

With acquiescence, Li Mei took out the drawings drawn by Zhang Xuan from her bag and handed them to Chen Min.

Chen Min took it and looked at it carefully for a few minutes, then raised his head and asked Li Mei, "Are you also studying design?"

Chen Min smiled and shook his head but did not answer.

Half an hour later, Qiu Boren, who carefully considered these drawings, asked Li Mei: "What is your approximate budget?"

Li Mei did not mention the budget at the first time, but asked with concern: "Can you take on this job?"

Unexpectedly, Qiu Boren shook his head simply.

When seeing Li Mei's disappointed expression, Chen Min said with a smile: "Our company does not have the capability for such a large project, but we can find someone to design it together."

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Xuan spoke out at this time. This was the first time he spoke after entering the door.

Seeing this silent young man speaking, Chen Min and his wife looked at Li Mei in unison, and then said to Zhang Xuan: "Look for my teacher, and invite some foreign friends."

Zhang Xuan was not that easy to fool, he just stared at the other party, did not answer the question, and waited for the next sentence.

Seeing that he was not letting go of rabbits, Chen Min said it very neatly: "My teacher Guo Mingzhuo, and two designers from the Dutch IBA office, Mark Hemmer and Barbara Kuyt."

What?

! ! !

Hearing this name, rows of exclamation marks floated across Zhang Xuan's heart.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is Mr. Guo Mingzhuo the master who designed the Tianhe Sports Center?"

Chen Min smiled and nodded, "The Tianhe Sports Center was indeed created by my teacher. I was his assistant at the time, and I was lucky enough to witness the whole process."

Hey, my shame is almost catching up with mine, I’m trying to put some money on myself.

Hearing the affirmative reply, Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly fell to the ground for some reason.

At the same time, I was thinking, since my teacher is so famous, then my two friends from the Netherlands should not be just ordinary people, right?

This should be.

It is impossible for Chen Min not to know the importance and just call a cat or a dog to work with her teacher.

It's just a pity that he doesn't understand the design field because he is separated by a mountain.

I know Mr. Guo Mingzhuo because he accidentally learned about it when he was looking for special buildings in Yangcheng these two days.

After talking about the designer for a while, everyone's topic returned to the origin of design.

When Chen Min asked again what the budget was?

Zhang Xuan told her directly: "There is no budget. I only want the best plan and make renderings based on your best ideas."

Hearing Zhang Xuan's answer, Qiu Boren and Chen Min knew that this was someone testing their abilities.

Just imagine, how could there be no gross budget for such a large project?

Without a budget, the couple felt they might have encountered a scammer.
