Discuss with Chen and Cui Huafeng. They are best friends and work together as teachers in the Academy of Fine Arts. They hit it off. With the courage of newborn calves and the passion of doing a big job, three young people took the first step to start a business and set up Jimei Design Center in Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts on 1984.
Lin Xueming recalled that at that time, people had never heard of the words "design" and "creativity", let alone the so-called "interior design circle". They are pioneers, stumbling on the road. In those years, they mainly focused on the interior design of hotels and office buildings, groping and learning while walking, doing many projects and winning some domestic design gold medals.
According to word of mouth, many people know "Jimei", which caused a sensation in domestic art colleges at that time: it turns out that art can completely go out of campus and connect with business! Jimei was the first to eat crabs, and all colleges and universities came to Jimei to learn from them. The passion of Lin Xueming and photographers not only ignited their own ideals, but also opened a hole for the reform of art colleges at that time, and art really became productive forces.
At that time, in China, there was no concept of home improvement, and there was no market demand for home improvement. At that time, the so-called interior design only stayed in some small public buildings, and the level was very low. At that time, social architecture was only to meet the most basic needs of the people. There is no business atmosphere in the shop, and there is no hotel atmosphere. In such a bleak social environment, the establishment of Jimei Group is full of difficulties, lacking experience, funds and brands. The first job of Jimei Group is to design a small shop, and then some restaurants. Therefore, Lin Xueming cherishes these practical opportunities. At 1982, Guangzhou White Swan Hotel opened, and he immediately visited it and saw the real interior decoration for the first time. At that time, the interior design of White Swan Hotel and Garden Hotel was completed by designers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which deeply inspired Lin Xueming. He understands that if he wants to develop professionally, he urgently needs to continue studying and broaden his horizons. At the peak of his first venture, Lin Xueming decided to leave Jimei.
No one does not regret it, because at that time, the company had a bright future and the road to "money" was boundless. Their fame is getting bigger and bigger, and their careers are thriving. The company bought two Toyota cars at one time on 1986. What a wonderful time! Lin Xueming said with a smile, I really feel rich overnight. However, he said, in fact, starting a business for the first time is impulsive, and it starts with passion and passion. This is immature and irrational. At that time, in a completely deserted market, Jimei Design Center could hardly find competitors, and Jimei's "unprecedented prosperity" came into being.
Lin said he didn't want to be a frog in the well. He wants to go out and broaden his horizons, so that he can have more precipitation and accumulation. He smiled, how young he was at that time, and everything could be put down, as if everything could be started again!
After saying goodbye to his brother, Mr. Lin Xueming went to the United States in 1987 and to Canada in 1988. For five years, he was completely immersed in another world, a brand-new society, pure western culture, and only art was connected. In the "new" country, he came into contact with the top international interior design and learned the specific features and formal languages of European style, Mexican and Spanish style, American native style and so on. He immediately realized that the interior design market in China is huge, and if it develops in China, it will provide great opportunities. Therefore, after in-depth study and exercise, Lin Xueming returned to China on 1992 with accumulated experience in studying abroad. Jimei zu LOGO
1992 returned to China, and there was another turning point in his life. He found himself unable to break the fate of design.
At that time, China was under construction, and the real estate industry developed quite rapidly, which was not the same as that in the 1980 s. He is very keen to see the business opportunities in the interior design industry again. He sprouted the idea of starting a business again, and the direction was interior design.
Chen, an old partner, has just returned from studying in England. Both of them have been influenced by foreign commercial society and have a rational understanding and analysis of commercial operation. Everyone is very optimistic about the domestic market, so several like-minded old partners came together again and formally established Jimei Group Design and Engineering Co., Ltd. at 1992.
Lin Xueming and design have come together again. He said with a smile, it's been more than ten years, so I'm afraid it's hard to separate them again.
In the past 14 years, Jimei Group, directed by Lin Xueming, has become a brand with considerable gold content in domestic design circles, and even attracted the attention of international design circles. The design of Armani flagship store in Hangzhou won the appreciation of fashion master giorgio armani; Guangzhou Changlong Hotel with the theme of animals and plants has become a "landmark" in Guangzhou. Beijing "Beihu No.9" Hotel has won numerous awards for its atmospheric, vigorous and concise China residential flavor. ...
As the chief designer of Jimei Group, Lin Xueming is really busy. He said that now he regards business trip as a rest, because things are simple when traveling, and the free time when the plane is turned off is the best rest. Thinking nothing, painting in a daze is his most extravagant thing at present. Home in Canada 1000 square meters with garden. I designed the whole building myself. Considering the need to change rooms in the future, I dare not be too individual (it is easier to change hands in the future). The home in Guangzhou was bought very early, mainly as a place to rest. If one day, I stop thinking about business, I will build a pure home for myself. I will choose a city in Canada, near a mountain or a lake, and even I want to move my home to the forest. Anyway, it is better to get in touch with nature. The building materials must be natural materials. There won't be too many conventional partitions in the space, not the kind that is neatly separated. You can read, draw and be in a daze anywhere, with no constraints.
Chimelong Hotel is located in Chimelong Wildlife Park, Panyu, Guangzhou, with 370 rooms and a total construction area of 60,000 square meters. It is one of the few five-star resort hotels with theme parks in China. Changlong Wildlife Park and Xiangjiang Wildlife Park, where the hotel is located, have 6,000 mu of sub-tropical rain forest, which is known as the first in South China. A large number of rare animals introduced from all over the world inhabit their wild environment, forming a huge wildlife community. The first phase of the hotel project was completed in 2002, and Jimei Group was responsible for the overall interior design, furniture design and art exhibition design.
Yujingwan Hotel is a five-star hotel invested and built by the local government. Located in Huying Park, Huying Tourist Area, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, surrounded by mountains, the lake is quiet and vast, surrounded by a group of villas. The superior natural environment provides favorable preconditions for the construction of resort hotels. The hotel has a total construction area of 58,000 square meters and more than 300 rooms. At that time, the project investors gave Jimei Group a great space for creation and development. Jimei Group completed the planning and design, architectural design and interior design, including the design of indoor industrial products such as furniture and lamps, and the design and production of furnishings, and participated in the main interior decoration construction. The whole design began in 1999, and the renovation project was completed in 2002, which lasted nearly 3 years.
