This time, I.M. Pei brought the whole family. In addition to his wife Lu Shuhua, he also had three sons and one daughter, and even brought his 8-year-old granddaughter Bei Anna.

They seemed not to want to be disturbed. When they came, they quietly waited for the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Summer Palace and other attractions to visit, and then Song Weiyang suddenly received the news.

"Old Bei, why don't you say it in advance? I wanted to be a tour guide for you in person." Song Weiyang said politely when he met.

I.M. Pei shook hands and smiled: "Mr. Song is a busy man, so he doesn't have to spend time on this little thing."

Song Weiyang shook hands with the rest of the Bei family one after another, picked up the fat girl named Beina and teased her, and then carried them back to the courtyard with an extended version of Lincoln.

This welcoming banquet did not choose Lijia cuisine because I.M. Pei has a southern taste. Song Weiyang specially invited famous chefs from Su cuisine and also made several jars of top Shaoxing rice wine.

The banquet was placed in his own courtyard. This broken place was thieves several times a year. Residents nearby already knew it was the richest villa. There were always some idle second-rate people who wanted to steal some valuable things.

There is usually a security guard and an aunt who is responsible for cleaning and maintenance. When they encounter thieves, they can only shout to catch the thief. In the high-gate courtyard, there is no way to move large items away. Small items are not very valuable. Even the Chinese paintings hanging in the house are fakes worth hundreds of dollars.

Especially low, it is completely incompatible with the wealth of the richest man, but who made Song Weiyang not live here?

There are several sets of mahogany furniture that are quite valuable, but unfortunately the thieves don’t know the goods, so they would rather work hard to move away small appliances.

Two months ago, the Siheyuan was stolen again.

The motherboard of the desktop computer in Song Weiyang's bedroom was directly removed by the thief and he grabbed the mouse and keyboard away. The thief did not want the display because it was too bulky, which was not conducive to crossing the wall with the stolen goods.

Installing a surveillance camera didn't work. The first time I caught the thief, I was sentenced to 6 months of detention because the amount of theft was small. After that, the thief had learned everything and could always find the camera's blind spot to sneak in, and then cover the camera with a cloth and swaying to steal things.

Song Weiyang is probably the richest man in China who has been stolen the most...

Some time ago, Song Weiyang came to Beijing and left a famous watch before leaving, and then pressed a note with the watch: "Rolex, market price of 120,000 yuan. According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law of my country, stealing this watch is a huge amount and should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years, and a fine. You have two choices now: First, leave with the watch, and then deal with my reward; Second, call the phone on the note and help me check my house later. The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and there is no five insurances and one fund, but you can call "Legend" in the doorman. If there is any stolen, it will be considered as stolen."

The thief hesitated for a while and became the gatekeeper of the courtyard. With Song Weiyang's consent, he also brought in a friend, and the two of them took turns to guard the courtyard. It was more effective than hiring regular security guards, because they were all nearby residents, and they shouted out, and all the left and right houses were dispatched. The security guard was fired directly.

"Mr. Song, please come in!" Yuan Bangyong nodded and opened the door.

This kid is in his early 20s and has not studied since high school. He has been scattered in society all day long and has been locked up several times for stealing. Now he is very glorious, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, can play games all day, and even a year-end bonus, and is almost catching up with the white-collar class.

A few days ago, a former accomplice came to him and said that he planned to kidnap the richest man from inside and outside, and even the ropes and other tools for committing crimes were prepared.

Yuan Bangyong agreed immediately on the surface, but turned around and ran to call the police. When the public security organs heard that someone wanted to kidnap the richest man, they were so scared that they immediately arrested the guy. The court ruled extremely quickly and found out all the previous cases, attempted kidnapping, burglary, fraud (smashing carp)... They were punished for several crimes and sentenced to six years in prison and a fine of 5,000 yuan.

It is a bad pen to kidnap the richest man. Others don’t know, but Yuan Bangyong still doesn’t know? Every time Song Weiyang comes to Siheyuan to live in a small courtyard, he has at least two bodyguards around him, all of whom are tall and strong men. After a little inquiry, he knows that these bodyguards are veterans and have been on the battlefield to kill people.

Be honest and take care of your salary and get a good health!

Song Weiyang nodded to the guy and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This time I will have some leftovers for the dinner made by Mr. I.M. Pei and the famous chef of Su Cai. At that time, you can bring some home and try it for your parents. Remember to bring one at Xiao Zhang's house."

"Thank you, Mr. Song!" Yuan Bangyong was extremely moved.

In the past, when Song Weiyang came to Siheyuan to live, there were often some leftovers and was taken home by the aunt who was in charge of cleaning and maintenance. Song Weiyang simply asked the chef to make more when he had a big meal, so the leftovers had never been moved.

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

It's not a meal or two, but it makes people feel respected.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Bangyong went home with a bag of big meals and threw them on the table with awesomeness and said, "Try it all, Mr. Song specially invited international friends to entertain international friends. Mr. Song valued me and asked the chef to make one more."

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

With his legs crossed, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, Yuan Bangyong said to the sky: "Ahem, my little sister's job has been done. Mr. Song values ​​me very much. When I talk to him today, he immediately said: OK, Xiao Yuan's sister is his own family, I must be trusting, go to Ark Technology to be a clerk!"

"Really?" The younger sister was extremely surprised, and her parents were also smiling.

In fact, Ark Technology is expanding its scale, and Yuan Bangyong's younger sister graduated from a technical secondary school. Although the technical secondary school has long been useless at this time, it is definitely no problem to be a clerk. She can get started after just a pre-job training. Song Weiyang agreed casually.

"Can there be any fake?" Yuan Bangyong felt that his life had been fulfilled, and he warned pleasingly, "Little sister, you have to do a good job when you enter Ark Technology. It is a large company supported by the central government. This time, Mr. Song invited international friends to build buildings for Ark. Mr. Song said that there is still any induction training. You should be careful when studying, and don't put on airs because of your brother's relationship. We should be low-key, do you know?"

"Yeah!" the little girl nodded repeatedly.

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

"I asked someone to correct my mistakes, it was so bad before." Song Weiyang said.

I.M. Pei said: "The person responsible for renovating the yard is a garden expert. He is well versed in the essence of northern gardens. What is even more rare is that he is perfectly integrated into modern facilities. He truly combines Chinese and Western cultures and integrates ancient and modern times. If you have time, I want to communicate with this master."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "If Mr. Bei wants to communicate, this period is just right. The master is a professor at 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 change was so good, it turned out to be an expert at Tsinghua University!" Pei exclaimed.

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

I.M. Pei said modestly: "Research is not enough, and it is definitely not as good as that of the Tsinghua expert. Although I am a senior official in Guangdong, as the eldest son of my family, I was asked to return to Suzhou every summer to get to know my family. So before I went abroad at the age of 18, I spent every summer in the Lion Garden. Rockery, stone bridge, pond, waterfall... Everything about Suzhou Garden left me endless memories and fantasies, and influenced my lifelong design thinking."

Song Weiyang couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the Lion Garden was your home before."

"Hahahaha," Pei also laughed, "Why does this sound a little awkward?"

Song Weiyang asked: "I heard you went to the Software Park for on-site inspection?"

I.M. Pei nodded and said, "I went for a walk. What are Mr. Song's requirements for the building?"

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

I.M. Pei said: "I have read the information of Ark Company, and I have a little immature preliminary concept. I have set the concept design as 'Ride the wind and waves'. The whole building should feel like a sailboat. Well, in layman's terms, it is not that it looks like a sailboat, but that when people see the building, they think of sailboats, and riding the wind and waves."

"Okay, just design according to this idea." Song Weiyang said.

I.M. Pei said again: "I hope to incorporate some Chinese elements. Is this OK?"

Song Weiyang said: "No problem."

I.M. Pei also accepted an interview with domestic media at the beginning of this year and complained. He made a general idea that China's cities are developing too fast, urban buildings are similar, and there is no Chinese color at all. He also said that China now lacks not only good architectural designers, but also employers who understand knowledge. Chinese employers will only make one requirement: no matter how they design, as long as they are something I have never seen before.

This old man probably wanted to design a modern building with Chinese elements, and just took the order from Song Weiyang to get what he wanted. As for what he only participated in concept design, if he asked his son to do the specific design, he would probably just not break his promise to block the mountain.

"The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year of birth..."

Song Weiyang was chatting with I.M. Pei when suddenly the ringtone of his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was called by Larry Page.

"It's evening, right? What's the urgent matter?" Song Weiyang asked.

Larry Page asked: "Song, did you acquire Android?"

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

Larry Page said extremely depressedly: "Google has been negotiating to acquire Android for half a year, and even the price has been finalized. Suddenly, a Chinese person made a quick run, signing a contract of $30 million higher than Google. Apart from you, I really couldn't imagine any other Chinese person who would acquire it in the United States at a premium!"

Song Weiyang was speechless: "Android's confidentiality measures are too poor, and you have found out the price clearly."

"It's you!" Larry Page was so angry. "Song, we are partners, and this kind of thing should be communicated with each other. Google's bid of $50 million is already very high. You don't need to spend $80 million to buy Android. Our joint acquisition is a good thing for both parties."

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

Larry Page said: "It's too low, at least 60%. Otherwise, I might as well buy other systems. There are more than Android that make mobile phone systems."

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

Larry Page thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Larry Page really didn't think about the long-term things, nor did he expect the future of smartphones. He just didn't want to be curbed by Apple. Even Android was not open source at the beginning. After Google's very low-key acquisition, it continued to develop. It was not until Apple launched smartphones that Google opened Android and brought a large number of manufacturers around the world to form open mobile phone alliances.

In the next five or six years, Apple will be a big boss, and other companies can only join forces to fight monsters.

Song Weiyang also had to cooperate with Google, otherwise even if he acquired Android, he would at most form similar alliances in China and would not be able to promote them all over the world. If Larry Page did not agree to the cooperation, he would use his domestic relationship to take the lead in forming the China Mobile Alliance, and would not be placed in the alliance formed by Google in China. Mobile, China Unicom, Telecom and other companies are also members.
