Only then did Wang Yaocheng learn that Mr. Liu Hanmo was an old professor at Huaqing University and had retired for several years. When he was young, he had studied architecture at Duke University in the United States.
After returning to China, he participated in the design of famous buildings such as the Great Hall of the People and the New National Museum of History. He spent his life teaching and educating people, and his achievements spread all over the world.
"To be honest, sir, we came to Yanjing this time just for the development of the area on the east side of Chang'an Street. We hope to build this area into a landmark building in Yanjing City. It is initially estimated that the area will be more than 100,000 square meters.
, the construction scale is about 800,000 square meters.
I wonder if Mr. Liu can help me realize this dream."
Wang Yaocheng suddenly dropped this bombshell, which shocked Professor Liu Hanmo. He looked at him suspiciously and was speechless for a long time.
If he hadn't seen that this young man could speak reliably, the old gentleman could have beaten him out with a cane.
Isn’t this crazy?
What a bunch of nonsense.
"Ahem!"
Mr. Huo Jiaguang coughed twice, appeared again, and said;
"The boss is right. He did discuss this development plan with me before. Hong Kong Pacific Company also has the ability and confidence to complete this huge development plan.
Before we came here, we had negotiated a plan to build an eight-inch wafer fab with Fujitsu in Osaka, Japan, with an investment of US$600 million.
And this is just the first step of our company's plan.
As for the subsequent business plan, it is confidential and I cannot disclose it to the old man. However, Hong Kong Pacific Company does have the financial strength to support the entire development plan.
If the old man doesn’t believe it, we have the contract text with Japan in the hotel, which can completely confirm all this.”
Professor Liu Hanmo looked back and forth between the two faces and pondered for a long time. It was not until He Yan and Chen Jingyi brought the brewed tea that he said with complicated eyes;
"Have a cup of tea and I'll go take a look with you right away."
"good."
Night, about ten o'clock
Business Suite No. 1208, Yanjing Hotel
Professor Liu Hanmo put down the contract text in his hand, his heart was filled with ups and downs, and his face glowed with a strange look.
"Old sir, do you believe it now?"
"Yes." Professor Liu Hanmo nodded heavily and said, "Let's just tell you, what can I do for you?"
Wang Yaocheng said emotionally;
"The Pacific Plaza I hope to develop is located at the core of No. 1 Chang'an Avenue. I hope it can be built into a landmark building, full of the beauty of Chinese architecture and inheriting the traditional architectural language.
I firmly believe that only what belongs to the nation belongs to the world.
This traditional-style building not only shocks people, but also has an unforgettable and magnificent scene, which naturally arouses a feeling of reverence.
The whole building needs to be like a tiger and a dragon, to show the style of our great country, grand and grand, with an extraordinary style.
My dream is to build another classical city handed down from generation to generation in the core area of Yanjing City."
The room fell into a long silence
Quietly, two lines of tears were left on Professor Liu Hanmo's wrinkled face, which made people look moved;
"If I can build this city that will be passed down from generation to generation one day, I will die without regrets."
"Old sir, I'm too serious."
"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and it is not pretentious."
Wang Yaocheng can understand the mood of old Professor Liu Hanmo. An old professor who has been engaged in architecture all his life will feel a great sense of accomplishment and happiness when he can personally complete a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation.
"We have very high requirements for this magnificent building. We will collect architectural proposals from all over the country and even the world. We will never accept them privately. Only the best works will be considered. I would like to ask the old gentleman to think twice about this."
"
"No problem!"
Professor Liu Hanmo smiled proudly and said;
"According to your design requirements, only Chinese people who are well versed in Chinese civilization can meet the requirements, and in China, the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University is the best."
"Mr. Don't forget, designers from Baodao, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea are very competitive, so they may not be able to lose to the Department of Architecture of Huaqing University."
"Hahahaha... Whether it's a mule or a horse, don't worry. As long as Pacific Company takes over the building plan for the Chang'an Street area, the optimal design will definitely be ours.
Old man, I give an order, and all the accomplished architectural design experts from Huaqing University must come back to me, no matter where they are. I don’t believe we can’t win this thing.”
Wang Yaocheng is also full of pride;
"Okay, Pacific Company will try to get the plan within one month."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The three people laughed loudly, and their hearty laughter echoed in the business suite, looking particularly happy.
for past lives
The Oriental Plaza building in the core area of Yanjing City, Wang Yaocheng, is full of defects and is very unsightly.
Oriental Plaza was invested and developed by Hong Kong Island's richest man Li, and designed by Hong Kong architect Ding Guangyuan. The architectural style incorporates the concept of Beijing's courtyard house. It looks very stingy, and the blue glass lattice curtain wall is simply ugly.
What is the concept of courtyard house in Beijing?
This is such a stingy design concept. At least it must draw on the design elements of the imperial palaces of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the magnificent palaces to show the style of a great country.
What good things can these westernized Hong Kong designers design?
Especially in the core area of Chang'an Avenue in the capital, due to the limited height, the requirements for landmark buildings are extremely high. Buildings without national architectural genes have no soul and cannot withstand the test of time.
If Oriental Plaza were anywhere else, it would be a majestic group of buildings that would look pretty good.
But this is No. 1 Chang'an Avenue, No. 1 Chang'an Avenue, No. 1 Chang'an Avenue...
Say important things three times.
Wang Yaocheng wanted a magnificent building complex with Chinese classical beauty to lead the city's architectural style. It didn't want Western European-style buildings, ugly glass curtain walls, the concept of a courtyard, and it didn't want a square reinforced concrete jungle.
Rather, it is to add a beautiful and moving charm to this ancient city, with unforgettable magnificent classical architecture.
under consideration
Pacific Plaza should have pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, lush greenery, and beautiful views of double eaves and mountains everywhere.
There are representative streets of ancient buildings here, ranging from structural parts, ridges, and tiles to doors, windows, door knockers, and angular leaves, all with distinctive decorative shapes or patterns, full of antique charm.
These decorative components can be widely collected from brick carvings passed down through history, and the exquisite and clear woodcarving shapes can replicate the original appearance of ancient buildings, which can play a role in protecting cultural heritage.
leisure time
There is also an exquisite theater in the square, where people in the folk arts circle can perform traditional music, teahouses, and antique shops. Yanjing City includes classic snacks from all over the country, and there are many restaurants with northern and southern flavors, full of ethnic flavor.
Such a square is the city of Wang Yaocheng's dream and the city passed down from generation to generation.
The next day, August 11th.
9 a.m.
As agreed in advance, Wang Yaocheng and his party made a special trip to visit Gai Yuanchao, the deputy district chief in charge of construction planning in Dongfu District. They were warmly received by the other party and welcomed the Hong Kong-funded Pacific Company to develop and establish business in Yanjing.
The two parties had a great conversation and reached an agreement on preliminary investment intentions.
Such a huge development plan quickly alarmed the city's leaders. Wang Yaocheng and his party attended the project intention negotiation meeting hosted by the city that afternoon and gave a detailed introduction to the development and investment plan, which received unanimous praise.
a week later
At the project development plan demonstration meeting attended by city and district leaders, Hong Kong-funded Pacific Company proposed three development plans of different sizes.
Plan 1 is to develop Block 1 of Chang'an Street covering an area of about 100,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 800,000 square meters, an investment scale of 6 billion yuan, and a construction period of six years.
The planning and design includes 8 office buildings (Pacific Economic and Trade City), 2 luxury apartments (Pacific Plaza), 1 large open shopping mall (Pacific Supreme Plaza), and 1 luxury five-star hotel (Pacific Kempinski
Grand Hotel), a 300-meter pedestrian street of ancient buildings.
Plan 2 is to develop Block 1 of Chang'an Street covering an area of about 150,000 square meters, extending southward to Lugongfu Street, with a total construction area of 1.2 million square meters, an investment scale of 9 billion yuan, and a construction period of seven years.
The planning and design includes 10 office buildings (Pacific Economic and Trade City), 4 luxury apartments (Pacific Plaza), 2 large open shopping malls (Pacific Supreme Plaza and Carrefour Supermarket), and 1 luxury five-star hotel (Pacific Plaza).
Binsky Hotel), a 500-meter pedestrian street of ancient buildings.
Plan 3 is to develop Block 1 of Chang'an Street covering an area of about 220,000 square meters, extending to Lugongfu Street in the south and Nanchizi Community in the west, with a total construction area of 1.8 million square meters and an investment scale of 13 billion yuan.
, the construction period is eight years.
The planning and design includes 16 office buildings (Pacific CBD), 8 luxury apartments (Pacific Palace), 2 large open shopping malls (Pacific Supreme Plaza and Carrefour Supermarket), and 1 luxury five-star hotel (Pacific Kempins
Hotel), a convention and exhibition center (Pacific International Convention and Exhibition Center), a city central park, and a 900-meter pedestrian street of ancient buildings.
When the development plan was presented, the city leaders, including the city leaders, were very excited and could no longer hide their joy.
At this time, the land of China is eager for investment, not to mention a project of such a huge scale. It is a smooth green light and can even be used as a benchmark investment project in Yanjing City.
Moreover, the overall architectural style of the Pacific Plaza project is a magnificent building complex with Chinese classical beauty, which is more suitable for the ancient city of Yanjing and has been recognized by the leaders.
Just five days later, there was gratifying news that the No. 3 planning design was approved by the city.
This means
Pacific Plaza, which is more than twice the size of the historical Oriental Plaza, will soon stand on Chang'an Avenue and become a landmark building in this ancient city.
To this end, Pacific Holdings Company formed Pacific Real Estate Development Company, which is responsible for the development of Pacific Plaza in Yanjing City. It also mobilized elite troops from Azure Bay Real Estate Development Company and arrived in Yanjing City one after another.
With a total land transfer fee of US$120 million, and after Pacific Real Estate Company paid a down payment of US$30 million, this huge development plan was officially launched.
The total investment in the entire development project is as high as 13 billion, with a construction period of eight years and an annual investment of approximately 1.6 billion. Major state-owned banks such as China Construction Industry and Peasants and China Construction Corporation have promised to provide strong support.
Although it has not advanced to the stage of project syndicated loans, Pacific Holdings has made a preliminary estimate of the funds and believes that it can fully afford it with all its efforts.
First of all, there is no problem with the land transfer fee totaling 120 million US dollars, and the company can solve it with cash on hand.
The demolition of the project was completed in the first half of 1993, and various construction teams entered the site for construction. When large amounts of capital investment were needed, the American Netscape company successfully went public as planned, and was able to withdraw large amounts of funds for project construction.
The shortfall can be solved with bank loans.
By then, two major commercial projects will be completed in advance;
The Pacific Supreme Plaza and Carrefour flagship stores are the first to be put into use, which can also generate a steady stream of cash flow to supplement the shortage of funds.
Overall, project risks are controllable and the prospects are promising.
After completion, it will become a demonstration project and play a vital role in improving the quality of Carrefour Supermarket and Pacific Plaza.
