Chapter 707 Liverpool No. 1
?Ian El was also interested. He thought that Uncle Costa was looking for donations, but he didn't expect to throw a project first.
Recosta took out a map from his briefcase and spread it out in front of Yang Cheng, pointing to the location marked with a red circle in the middle of the map, and introduced, "This project is named 'Liverpool One'. As part of the revival plan, Liverpool One exists as a large-scale commercial complex in the center of the city. It is required that in terms of architectural design considerations, while retaining the features of several key buildings, the design of new and renovated buildings also incorporates corresponding Modeling elements, thus achieving a visual balance between new construction and ancient construction in terms of architectural style.
The original intention of the planning is to enable the project to meet the needs of various uses and activities. Here, it not only provides people with the most innovative leisure and shopping environment to enjoy and experience, but also plans a new residential area and office area.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the vitality of the city center of Liverpool is unprecedented. It provides everything that the citizens of the city need for life. An integrated urban core space. "
Yang Cheng looked at this city planning map of Liverpool, and wondered what he was thinking. In fact, this project was nothing new. The concept of urban complex was proposed as early as the last century, and it has been proposed by countless countries since the beginning of the new century. There is no difficulty in the project itself, which is used by the developer. It is nothing more than that the exterior design must conform to the overall plan, that is, it must not be too unique. It must not only ensure harmony with the surrounding historical environment, but also maintain the aesthetic feeling of modern architecture. This is a professional Designers have enough capacity to meet.
However, the development prospects of this project are still debatable. You must know that the overall housing prices in Liverpool have entered a relatively low tide period. Even if it is not a cabbage price, it is indeed not in line with the city's reputation.
Ian Ayre came over to take a look, and said, "Boss, the location of the 'Liverpool One' project is called Cable Walk Street, which is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is the beach area.
At first the area was famous for the production of ropes for ships, and the ancient port of Liverpool as an important port along the British shipping route to the world.
Later, with the decline of the Liverpool shipping terminal, the entire area was abandoned, but due to the irreplaceable characteristics of the area in terms of history, geographical location and culture, there is also a sufficient basis for the existence of the core of the revitalization of the entire city. The reconstruction here It can become a gateway connecting the coastal area and the wharf area, and eventually form the development and construction of the entire coastal area.
Moreover, judging from the planned site of the entire project, its planned total area accounts for about one-third of the downtown area of Liverpool, and there is enough room for development. "
Originally, Ian Ayre's good words brought Recosta a grateful look, but who knew that the next second Ian Ayre changed the subject and continued, "However, the security situation in this area is not optimistic, and the economy is depressed. , the crime rate is high. According to Uncle Costa’s overall plan, the primary goal of the project is to connect different areas of the city, such as the pedestrian street, the seaside area, and the existing retail area and the city’s business district. Bring the maximum development benefits to the surrounding communities.
However, if the problems left over from history are not properly resolved, the prospect of this project after its completion may be gloomy. "
As expected, Yang Cheng frowned at what Ian El said. If it was true what Ian Al said, then this project was a complete pitfall, which made Yang Cheng doubt Recosta's purpose.
Looking at Recosta's eyes became more and more unkind. Fortunately, he has been in the officialdom all year round. Recosta has cultivated a calm expression early on, and explained with a smile, "The problem Ian said does exist. ,
However, ZF has long considered this issue and is willing to help developers persuade local residents to relocate elsewhere. It is the duty of every Liverpool citizen to contribute to the revival of Liverpool.
According to ZF's overall plan, the project will be divided into six areas, each with its own distinct characteristics, these areas are concentrated in Paradise Street, Hanover Street, Pitt Lane, with parks and bus/tram interchange stations , they not only show their respective positions in the city center, but also enhance their integration as important nodes in the current community and the whole project.
The entire project covers an area of more than 42 acres, and plans include 30 new buildings, of which the commercial space exceeds 1.6 million square feet, and the famous British department store "John Lewis" has been recruited in advance as the main store in the commercial area.
The planned 160 shop spaces are designed to introduce various types of merchants, including fashion brand stores, movie theaters, and some niche brand merchants into 'Liverpool One'. ZF is willing to establish a brand new building with the developer. In the cooperation mode, once the cooperation is started, the developer will obtain a 250-year lease of the area, but the city of Liverpool still owns the permanent property rights of the base. Of course, a certain percentage of the project's annual income will be owned by the city. . . "
Although Recosta didn't say it clearly in the end, Yang Cheng knew that this ratio was negotiable, and this was one of the conditions he proposed.
So now comes the question, what is the purpose of Recosta's dedication to introduce Yang Cheng and implicitly expressing his willingness to help Yang Cheng win this project?
Yang Cheng raised his hand to put away the map, put it in front of Recosta, and said with a calm smile, "Mr. Costa, we might as well open the skylight and tell the truth. There is no free help in this world. I can get the premise of this big project." What? Or in other words, how can I help Mr. Costa?"
To be honest, this project is not very attractive to Yang Cheng, but it is still profitable, and it is not bad to include it in his business investment in Liverpool. What is important is that the greater the investment in Liverpool, the more It is easy to get the approval of Liverpool fans. If you want to fully control this traditional giant, it is not enough to rely on one or two seasons of investment and high-profile performance. After all, no one can guarantee that the team will always win. Once the team falls into a trough, Whether the fans will continue to support themselves is hard to say.
Therefore, for the "Liverpool One" project, if the conditions put forward by Costa are not difficult, it doesn't hurt to agree to him.
There was no change in Recosta's expression on his black face. Until now, Yang Cheng had never seen him show his big white teeth.
"Mr. Yang, I don't know if you know the British dang faction? What do you think of the conservative dang?"
Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't know much, he still had some basic knowledge. Currently, the mainstream dang factions in the UK are divided into three forces, among which the conservative dang and the labor dang are currently the dominant ones in the British political arena. The political party, it can be said that these two parties hold the helmsman of the British political arena, and they are the most powerful and have the longest history.
In addition to these two major parties, there are also some small parties, such as the Liberal Democratic Party, but due to political and historical reasons, it is difficult for them to make a difference in the current British political arena, and only the Liberal Democratic Party can barely occupy a place.
The British Parliament and the cabinet can be said to be the parliament and cabinet of the dang faction. No matter which dang faction wins the general election, then this dang faction can control the parliament and the cabinet.
However, unlike the donkey-elephant dispute in the United States, Britain was the first to implement capitalism in the world. After a long period of development, although there is no written law promulgated in ZZ, its constitutional monarchy system that has been tested by history has brought Britain a relatively stable ZZ situation, the system is not too much turmoil.
Of course, among the two major factions, conservative forces are dominant and have always dominated the political arena. Thanks to the fact that Britain has the oldest royal family and aristocratic system on earth today, British conservatism has gradually formed a stable and conservative force. .
It does not blindly oppose progress, but takes a cautious attitude towards the process and degree of change. When the remaining system can be maintained and continued, it will firmly hold its position and refuse to change; but when the existing system cannot When it meets the needs of reality, it allows a certain degree of change, and holds its ground on the basis of this new change, becoming a force against new changes.
Therefore, the conservatism of British conservatism is not absolute conservatism. Its conservatism is more reflected in the protection of tradition and a cautious attitude towards change.
This kind of conservatism in the UK can be seen from the attitude towards reform in the "Glorious Revolution". A kind of preservation, is to change steadily in order to preserve the tradition.
In order to protect their traditions, the British try their best to inherit the history, so when they encounter the need for change, the conservatives are hesitant because they don't know what the result of the change will be, but the situation of the country But when it comes time to reform, conservatism hopes that the change will not be too drastic, so British conservatism is not stubborn, and their attitude towards new things is not blindly opposed.
Their institutional attitude is expressed as "new wine in old bottles", adding new changes to the original basis, but the original basic structure remains unchanged. This kind of change with reservations, the existence of the British king and nobles is the best evidence of.
Therefore, the British people not only do not reject the nobleman's attitude, but want to integrate into it, thinking that it is an affirmation of self-worth.
When people in the whole society follow an elite class with a positive attitude, then the whole British society is full of aristocratic spirit and elite class, and everyone in the whole society has a gentlemanly demeanor.
With the development of democratization, although the special existence of aristocracy is incompatible with democracy, the British accept its existence and make them a symbol of the United Kingdom. They are no longer given political power, but become the spirit of the entire British people. Pursue.
This also created the existence of people like Recosta. They were born in the market and rose in danger, but they never delayed their desire to pursue noble honor, otherwise he would not have joined the conservative party. It is not difficult to find out in the question.
