The place where we are standing on is the wollman ice-skating rink in the middle of the central park. And it is one of the
16、things that frankly Im most proud of. I have been looking at this place for years from my trump tower. It used to be a real eyesore. What happened with this was just a nightmare for the city. The city spent seven years and 21,000,000 dollars and couldnt get an ice-skating rink built. I got tired of
17、watching. And I went to the mayor and I said I wanna build the rink and Ill do it in four months and Ill do it for peanuts. I got it built in three months for less than 2 million dollars and its been a tremendous success. Everybody loves this, the wollman rink. And its all about giving back, giving
18、back to the city. And now you got to have a chance to give back, because youre going to raise money for the Elizabeth Gelazer Pediatric Aids Fundation, a very important worldwide charity that I support. Youre going to hold an auction. You know an auction is a process of buying and selling goods or s
19、ervices by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the wining bidder(s) and sale price(s). Partici
20、pants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company
21、 based on a percentage of the final sale price. Your auction is going to be done at Sothebys, the most prestigious auction house in the world. Each team will have five celebrities to negotiate with. You could use these celebrities and figure out how to raise money and come up with a personal experie
22、nce from each celebrity in the auction to the highest beater. The team that raises the most money at the auction wins. The losing team will meet me at the boardroom where a person will be fired. Thats not good. So good luck, do well, and raise the largest money for this greatest charity. Thank you.)

Construction is very much a relationship-based business. Our folk
28、 are very talented and quality oriented, and they live up to their word. If they say a project will be done a week from Tuesday, theyll make sure its done a week from Tuesday, if not before.Speaker 2Weve always been a step ahead, technology wise. We were one of the first mechanical contractors with
29、a completely automated fabrication shop. The companys duct coil line, which produces straight joints of duct work, and its plasma table, which cuts out fittings, “talk“ directly to the companys computer-aided design system. “That level of sophistication allows us to automate much of what our competi
30、tors are doing manually and more expensively,“ John says. Roughly 80 percent of John Mechanicals revenues flow from its main mechanical construction work of HVAC, plumbing, and piping. Its 24-hour after-construction service and maintenance accounts for another 10 percent. The remaining 10 percent is
31、 generated by fabrication, split equally between sheet metal products and stainless steel kitchen products.Speaker 3I maintain a good balance between negotiated contracts, private sector and bid contracts, and the public sector. At least three-quarters of its private sector work is repeating busines

Our hoisting subcontra
34、ctor, Armstrong Rigging, had to bring pieces up on nights and weekends. They then literally had to carry them up the last flight of stairs because the elevator goes up to 51A, and the roof access is one flight up on 51B. After solving those logistical challenges, which included cutting through the r
35、oof slab to allow access to the mechanical room, the seven old towers were lowered down on one weekend; the new pieces were hoisted up the following weekend. I was there myself the whole time. My heart was pounding every time a new “pick“ started up the side of the building. Youd get it up about 20
36、stories, and thewind would come off of the building next door and the thing would start to twist and move on you. It was amazing to think that I could be standing on the roof of the IDS Tower in mid-January with a temperature of 12 degrees below zeroand I was sweating!Speaker 5Ive been forced to cut
