Chapter 1953: : You have to make decisions faster (3 more)
Ning Yanfan is a very good talker.
I don't know how many times my temper is better than Mao Kangshan.
If Mao Kangshan made this call, it would definitely be a curse.
But swearing could not solve the problem, and it would also bring disgust to his little disciple. Mao Kangshan endured it and left the matter to Ning Yanfan to talk about.
Ning Yanfan was a smooth life and was better at handling these things than he, so Ning Yanfan didn't have any difficulties in the turbulent years, and Mao Kangshan had a particularly unlucky life.
Ning Yanfan is a smooth person. He called the AIA headquarters and made a request to talk to the chairman of the jury, and he really talked to the other party.
What Ning Yanfan wants to express is similar to the letter of protest from Huaqing University.
But the attitude is more serious and tough, and the demands are clearer.
"...This is absolutely intolerable by the Architectural Society of China. Although our influence in the world is not large enough, China has a population of 1 billion, and our number of architects is not large, and there will be more in the future!"
"Ning, don't do this, I think there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
AIA wants to push things down, but Ning Yanfan is not afraid to make things bigger.
It really forced the Architectural Society of China to publicly condemn it internationally, and AIA can only kill it without admitting it, and resolutely refuses to admit that it has made a mistake.
Is this operation feasible?
If Lisa wins the lawsuit, it is feasible.
Based on the results of the lawsuit, AIA can ignore the protests of the Cornell School of Architecture, Huaqing University, and the Chinese Architectural Society, and then criticize Kissinger of GMP to establish its authority in the industry.
Why is AIA shrinking?
With so many people speaking, its impossible for all of them to be blind to stand up for Xia Xiaolan. After learning that Xia Xiaolan and Mrs. Dawson had grievances, there are no lack of smart people in AIA headquarters. They have faintly understood the most likely truth of the matter. The renovation plan of the theater really belongs to Xia Xiaolan.
Even if the other party is a 22-year-old student who has not completed his undergraduate degree, he cannot deny the fact that the other party is an architectural genius.
If so, Xia Xiaolan is more likely to win the lawsuit.
If Lisa loses, how can AIA be tough?
Because on the phone, I dont know if Ning Yanfan will record. The chairman of the jury said very implicitly, implying that Ning Yanfan, AIA is willing to negotiate and resolve the matter...make certain compensation and concessions.
Does Xia Xiaolan need such compensation and concessions?
Ning Yanfan can make judgments for Xia Xiaolan without asking Xia Xiaolan himself.
No need!
I took this matter vaguely, saved the face of Mond Dawson, saved the face of AIA, and only let one Lisa pay the price. Such a result was definitely not what Xia Xiaolan wanted.
Press this matter now, what should I do when Xia Xiaolan stands at a certain height and is questioned again?
Is the score skewed?
No, Xia Xiaolan doesn't need it.
If the work is eye-catching enough, it is impossible for AIA to select supernova architects to bypass Xia Xiaolan, and she does not need such a skewed rating.
Even if AIA is full of hatred for Xia Xiaolan from now on, what does it matter if she never plays with any awards?
At least Xia Xiaolan's reputation is clean!
AIA does not favor her. When her brilliance is no longer restricted by gender and nationality, there will naturally be other international awards, and Xia Xiaolan will be handed an olive branch
"This is impossible. We ask to make things clear. AIA can choose to shield certain people or prove its own justice. Mr. Chairman, as a standing director of the Chinese Architectural Society, I make suggestions to AIA. There is a kind of The method can not only save AIA's face, but also restore Xia Xiaolan's personal reputation. I hope you can consider it."
Ning Yanfan told about the museum.
Let AIA send people to supervise the whole process and see Xia Xiaolan's strength in architectural design.
"Museum? Are you going to entrust a museum to her to design?!"
Perhaps Xia Xiaolan is a relative of the president of the Chinese Architectural Society, and this can explain the craziness of Director Ning.
Ning Yanfan corrected the other party:
"The Chinese Architectural Society will not hand over a museum to such a young newcomer architect to design. We have no such right. This is the client's choice. The client trusts her, which is more convincing than the judge's judgment!"
Ning Yanfan was telling the truth, leaving the chairman of the AIA jury speechless.
"Can I take the liberty to ask, what kind of museum is this?"
If you find an open space to build a small house, you can say it is a museum. AIA sends people to China, which is too funny.
"It is located in the center of a certain provincial capital city of China. It is a museum built with private donations and is estimated to cost 20 million Chinese dollars. I think it is not a particularly small project for a 22-year-old newcomer architect. "
The chairman asked the secretary about 20 million Chinese dollars. According to the official exchange rate of China, it was more than 5 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, no one would exchange more than 5 million U.S. dollars for 20 million Chinese currency, which has no purchasing power in the international market and is not an international settlement currency.
But in China, 20 million Chinese currency is still very purchasing power.
Translated, Xia Xiaolan will lead the design and construction of a private museum with a budget of 5 million US dollars.
The chairman of the jury now believes that this is not the work arranged by the Architectural Society of China for Xia Xiaolan. Even if it is AIA, it is not possible to spend $5 million to favor a certain architect of the association, okay? Customers who can take out such a sum of money are not just fools.
"We need to meet to discuss this matter."
Ning Yanfan was non-committal, "Then it's better to go soon. If the discussion takes too long, after the brazen thief loses the lawsuit, AIA will respond again. Everything is over, right? AIA wants to restore its fair image. , Im afraid its even more difficult."
Regardless of whether the lawsuit can be won or not, Ning Yanfan is full of confidence when he says this, and the chairman of the jury who said it is guilty in his heart.
After hanging up the phone, the chairman was very anxious.
"Mr. Mond, please come to the headquarters. Yes, I want to see Mr. Mond."
...
When Ning Yanfan called Xia Xiaolan, he didn't evade Xia Xiaolan and called her aside to listen. This might be another kind of guidance.
"The pressure is increasing layer by layer."
"AIA doesn't care about your protests alone, and even ignores the partners of the GMP New York office. They received the first letter of protest, but they didn't take it seriously."
"Your letter of protest is the first wave. A small wave hits AIA. It stays still and doesn't hurt or itchy."
Xia Xiaolan followed Ning Yanfan's words and said:
"The professors of Cornell School of Architecture speak for me. It is a second wave. Cornell University has the best undergraduate major in architecture in the United States. It can train Pritzker Architecture Prize winners like Mond Dawson. , There are also many other outstanding alumni. The AIA Association attracts outstanding American architects to become members of the association. Within AIA, it is not only Mond Dawson and a Cornell alumnus. The second wave, AIA can no longer ignore... If the professors of the Cornell School of Architecture are not trusted in what they say, wouldn't all the members of the AIA Association who graduated from Cornell University be embarrassed?"
