Chen Li rushed to the Gulou Street Office of Baota District and talked with Luo Yihuan about the protective renovation of the former site of the cotton textile factory in the district. Representatives who were running to preserve the former site also rushed to Gulou Street to participate in the discussion.

Although the former site of the District Cotton Textile Factory can be traced back to the early years of the Republic of China, most of the factories in the former site were newly built after the liberation. They are large areas of exposed red bricks, mottled steel beams and asbestos tile roofs, which look both old and damaged.

To be honest, except for several office buildings and old workshops with architectural styles in the early Republic of China, the overall preservation of the old site of the district cotton textile factory was not very meaningful. However, the previous controversy over demolition and whether to demolish it was a hot topic. Professors from the Architecture Department of several universities in the province, such as CUHK, rushed to strive to preserve historical relics. Finally, the vice governor in charge of cultural security and the secretary of the Shangdu Municipal Party Committee, Lin Hanxiu, made a decision and ordered that only protective renovations could be carried out. The whole problem was pushed from the city to the district and then to Gulou Street.

Protective repairs can only be carried out on the basis of the existing 70,000 square meters of old buildings, and the land utilization rate becomes extremely low, causing the land cost per unit of building area to soar to nearly 6,000 per square meter. In addition to the cost of protective repairs, the final cost may surge to more than 10,000 per square meter.

In addition, due to the continuous protection of old buildings, the repaired and renovated sites can be commercially developed, but they are not allowed to be sold. The developer must operate it on its own, so the difficulty will increase again.

Chen Li discussed this matter with Qian Wanli and Hu Guoming before, but they did not advocate taking over. After all, except them, there would be no developer willing to take over. The Baota District Government would inevitably withdraw funds from the financial funds and carry out protective repairs on the former site of the district cotton textile factory.

In this way, there is no need to deposit the precious 600 million yuan of cash in this project that cannot be cashed in in a short period of time and has extremely low profitability.

Chen Li considered that even if he threw it to the Baota District, he didn't know how many years it would take to truly repair the old site, which would be detrimental to the improvement of the overall environment around Xinrui Star City. He felt that Xinchaorui Real Estate should be more proactive and decided to take on this matter.

Of course, the old site cannot be completely preserved.

After all, the newly built factory buildings after liberation were both dilapidated and simple, and the styles were very different from the several Republic of China buildings built before liberation. However, the plan for upgrading and renovation was no longer possible to decide on Xinchaorui Real Estate, which was determined to take this land. It needed to negotiate with the representatives who strongly advocated the preservation of the old site, passed the review of the provincial and municipal cultural security and planning departments, and also needed to re-instruct the instructions of Lin Hanxiu and the deputy governor in charge, and the whole process became extremely complicated.

However, Chen Li had just contacted the old factory employees and community representatives who had arrived at the street office in the morning. When they heard that Xinchaorui Real Estate still wanted to demolish several factories, some people became very excited and denounced Chen Li as the developer's little leg, who was devoted to money and could even dig the graves of his ancestors.

Chen Li was also helpless and had to launch Liu Tongjiang and say that he was the company's chief executive. He asked him to accompany Luo Yihuan to appease the anger of these representatives. He hid in Luo Yihuan's office and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your company really wants to demolish the former site of the district cotton textile factory?" Lin Qian brewed a cup of tea and brought it over to Chen Li and asked.

Lin Qian just married her boyfriend Liu Bing a few years ago. She is a little plump than before. She is wearing a short coat in the office and her breasts are supported high, with the charming and sexy feeling of a newly married young woman.

Not only did Lin Qian’s parents buy a wedding house, but it was also located in Jinlan Huayuan, next to the front and back buildings of Chen Li’s family. Xinchaorui Real Estate participated in the demolition project of the old and dangerous community in Baota District. It was fragmentary and complicated. It was basically Chen Li personally watched this area, and he had more opportunities to contact Lin Qian.

In addition, Lin Qian's newlywed husband Liu Bing also works in Gulou Street Office. He has met several times over and over again, and he is a nod to each other.

"It won't be removed. We should protect it. We should just discuss a more appropriate solution..." Chen Li explained to Lin Qian. He heard the delegates accusing Liu Tongjiang of being louder at the meeting. The voice came out clearly through the door of the conference room. He thought that so many delegates should do their work separately. Now he recalled that in the conversation just now, who had different reactions in the representatives, and whose work might be relatively easy to do.

"Lin Qian, where are you here?" At this moment, a young man wearing glasses came in and greeted Lin Qian.

This young man wearing glasses is Lin Qian's newlywed husband Liu Bing. When Lin Qian saw her husband coming, she asked happily: "Aren't you going to the community now? Why haven't you been there yet?"

"Just as I was about to go out, I saw Wang Jiang, the tutor who was studying for graduate school, come to the street office. I stayed to say hello to Teacher Wang, and only then did I realize that he was also a representative of the discussion on the renovation of the old site of the district cotton textile factory." Liu Bing said.

After hearing what Liu Bing said, Chen Li's eyes lit up and he asked, "Director Liu, Professor Wang Jiang is your supervisor when he was studying for graduate school? At noon, can you arrange for me and your Director Luo to have a meal with Professor Wang Jiang?"

Wang Jiang is a professor in the Department of Architecture of Shangdu University and one of the authoritative experts in the province for researching ancient buildings. He is not only a classmate with the vice governor in charge of cultural security, but also worked with Shangdu University. Chen Li had never had contact with Wang Jiang before, but knew that Wang Jiang played a key role in preserving the old site of the district cotton textile factory.

Liu Bing doesn't like Lin Qian's contact with Chen Li much, but Luo Yihuan is the second-in-command of Gulou Street. Chen Li did not publicly reveal his identity, but he has a close relationship with Luo Yihuan. However, speaking in Xinrui Star City and many dangerous and old demolition and renovation projects was a final decision. Lin Qian and the staff of Gulou Street naturally knew that he was a senior staff member of Xinchaorui Real Estate.

When Chen Li said this, Liu Bing was not inconvenient to refuse and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Professor Wang Jiang later."

Since the representatives who came to the street office today were full of distrust of the developer, and Xinchaorui Real Estate has not come up with a mature plan at present, so Liu Tongjiang talked in the conference room for a long time, but no one reached an agreement.

At noon, Chen Li asked Liu Tongjiang to return to Xinrui Xingcheng to watch the opening of the second phase. He and Luo Yihuan were in the small canteen of the street office to invite Wang Jiang and several other experts from Shangdu Ancient Architecture.

Liu Bing is Wang Jiang's student, so he and Lin Qian naturally stayed to accompany the seat.

As the son of Luo Rongmin, deputy governor of the Standing Committee, Luo Yihuan, the leaders of Baota District, knew it well, but would not disclose it to ordinary staff of the street office. However, Luo Yihuan was in his early thirties and could serve as the deputy department-level director of the street office. In the current environment in China, anyone could guess that Luo Yihuan's background was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his background was so extraordinary.

Liu Bing's father-in-law is the deputy director of the Municipal Planning Bureau. He is also a person with a background in the street office. He graduated from Shangdu University and is currently only a deputy chief clerk in the street office and enjoys the treatment of deputy section-level.

Liu Bing was vigilant about Chen Li. Sometimes when he met in the community, he deliberately pretended not to see him, but he was quite pleased with his immediate superior Luo Yihuan. During the meal, he poured wine and picked up food for his mentor Wang Jiang and Luo Yihuan, and was very attentive.

Chen Li's interest is still focused on Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang is a typical intellectual in China. He is in his fifties, and his hair is a little gray. Although he is an authoritative expert in ancient architecture in the province, he looks quite simple.

It is precisely such a character that is the hardest to deal with.

"Professor Wang may not recognize me, but Professor Wang's ancient architecture class was 2020 and 2003 and I went to the class as a student from Shangzhou University! Today, I asked Director Luo to arrange this meal, which is also considered my thank-you banquet." Chen Li sat next to Wang Jiang and handed over his business card as the director of the product research and development department of Xinchaorui Real Estate, which was considered to be a formal meeting with Wang Jiang.

Before Wang Jiang came, Chen Li felt that today's work was difficult, so Liu Tongjiang came forward and borrowed Luo Yihuan's office to handle other work. So when Wang Jiang saw Chen Li handing over his business card at this time, he was stunned and looked at Chen Li with confusion.

"I have carefully read several monographs on the protection of ancient buildings. When Xinchaorui Real Estate was developing and constructing real estate projects, I participated in the project planning and design. I also encountered some historical buildings that were not included in the provincial and municipal protection list but had preservation value. Xinchaorui Real Estate tried its best to relocate and protect. Currently, the six stone bridges and seven groups of ancient buildings in the Xiushishan Scenic Area were all moved by our Xinchaorui Real Estate during the construction of Shangdong New Area. I don't know if Professor Wang Jiang has time to visit Xiushishan, which is also the homework I assigned to Professor Wang Jiang." Chen Li continued.

Although Xiushi Mountain was beautiful in shape and densely shady trees, it was less than 100 meters high. It was really not a famous river and beautiful mountain in Shangdu, so there were no ancient buildings left on the mountain. No matter how beautiful the landscape was in the later period, it still lacked the sense of vicissitudes and humanistic atmosphere left by historical relics.

Xinchaorui Real Estate has started the construction of Xiushan Xinrui City, taking over the transformation of Xiushishan Scenic Area. In addition to excavating an artificial lake with an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters on the southern foot of Xiushishan and transplanting a large number of ancient trees and large trees, it also moved many ancient buildings to be demolished in Shangdong New District to Xiushishan Scenic Area for protective repairs at a high price, which also promoted Xiushishan’s style to the core scenic area of ​​Shangdong New District.

Of course, this is also extremely important for the improvement of Xiushan Newcomer City's stature.

"I have visited several ancient buildings in Xiushishan. The planning and repair work are indeed done well." Wang Jiang was immediately impressed when he heard Chen Li mention this.

Seeing that Wang Jiang recognized some of the previous work of Xinchaorui Real Estate in relocation of ancient buildings, this made a good start. Chen Li discussed with Wang Jiang: "About the protection of the former site of the district cotton textile factory, the company has studied it many times internally. The purpose is to better combine the protection of the former site with the company's project development. There is no time to ask Professor Wang Jiang for advice. The core significance of the protection of the former site of the district cotton textile factory is to preserve the history of the modern industrial history of Shangdu, so our company decided to take the District cotton

The northern factory area of ​​the textile factory site was preserved intact. However, considering the demolition of the dangerous and old communities in Gulou Street, some of which were not included in the provincial and municipal ancient building protection list, but the valuable buildings built in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China need to be protected, we consider whether to demolish several factories built in the southern factory area of ​​the district cotton textile factory site in the 1970s, leaving space to move some characteristic buildings from the Republic of China era, and build the entire district of the cotton textile factory site into a historical district of the Republic of China that tells the modern industrial history and architectural history of the Shangdu capital..."

"... Although it is a pity to demolish the South Factory, this is also an idea," Wang Jiang said with a little shaken thought, "but the relocation and protection of ancient buildings is huge. Is Xinchaorui Real Estate really determined to do this?"

"Although many people have misunderstandings, our developers are ultimately the builders of cities, not destroyers," Chen Li said. "Although the relocation and protection of ancient buildings is huge, the former site of the cotton textile factory in the district can be built into a historical and cultural block of the Republic of China that integrates cultural and creative industries, tourism, leisure, and museum exhibitions. It has also greatly improved the cultural heritage of the properties we have developed. I believe that this part of the investment is worth it and a win-win situation. Of course, how to build a block and which buildings in the Republic of China need to be relocated and protected. I still hope that Professor Wang Jiang, you can give us enough guidance... After all, I have eavesdropped on Professor Wang Jiang for several lessons, but I have not been able to secretly learn the essence."

In the afternoon, Chen Li arranged another vehicle to receive Wang Jiang and others to Xiushishan for guidance. He also specially invited Yan Qiwei, Song Wenqing and others to come over to let their professionals communicate, which may completely eliminate the sense of distance and vigilance between them.

At dusk, Wang Jiang and others refused Chen Li's invitation to dinner, but it could be seen that their thoughts were still shaken. Next, Chen Li asked Yan Qiwei to follow up on this matter and discuss the feasibility of the subsequent plan with Wang Jiang and others.

As long as Xinchaorui Real Estate can convince Wang Jiang and others to dispel their doubts, Lin Hanxiu's work is easy to do. After all, everyone is still working hard to build the city in a better direction.

Since Wang Jiang and others declined the dinner, Luo Yihuan also wanted to rush home to have supper with Shi Yating, Chen Li simply drove the car and carried Liu Bing and Lin Qian back to Jinlan Flower Garden.

"You are so amazing in the afternoon. Professor Wang Jiang and the others wanted to eat you in the morning. I was obviously moved by you just now - no wonder you are young and can be a senior executive in a real estate company!" Lin Qian accompanied Luo Yihuan to participate in the exchange between Chen Li and Wang Jiang and the others throughout the whole process. She could see the change in attitudes of Wang Jiang and others. She admired Chen Li's ability to do work.

"That's also our company sincerely wants to do this, not fool people," Chen Li drove into Guanlan Commercial Street, said with a smile, and asked Lin Qian, Liu Bing and his wife, "Thank you today, what do you want to eat tonight? I treat you as a thank you..."

Lin Qian pretended to be thinking about something, as if she was thinking about something worth tasting tonight. Liu Bing said, "Forget it today, let's invite Mr. Chen to dinner another day."

Seeing that Liu Bing disagreed, Lin Qian also smiled apologetically and got out of the car with Liu Bing at the entrance of the community.

He Wan, Li Meng, Zhou Bin, and Zhao Yang are not in Shangdu. It is not interesting to eat outside alone. Seeing that it was still early, I went to the supermarket to buy a few dishes and prepared them home to cook. As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Xiang Qiuning back from the company very early today.

"Your nose was transplanted from a dog, how did you know I wanted to fire at home today?" Chen Li asked with a smile when he saw Xiang Qiuning's beautiful eyes spinning on the plastic bag he carried.
