Confession of Rebirth

In the next few days, Gu Chen still used his spare time to visit the entire western old town.I took countless photos, made countless investigations, and used the meal time to go to some old towns, including small restaurants in urban villages, to interview neighbors and ask them what they think about the demolition.

It is found that most people have only two ideas about demolition.Some people are looking forward to the demolition as soon as possible. The developer will either give money or share the house. As long as the compensation is in place, they can live a happy life for the second generation of demolition.The restoration of cultural relics and the protection of local customs are not at all in their consideration.

The other part, mainly the elderly, puts a lot of emphasis on the living environment.I feel that I have lived in a courtyard house for most of my life, and I know the neighbors and neighbors well, almost my entire life trajectory has been in this small world.If it is really demolished, it seems that most of the years of my life will also fall apart with the demolished bricks, tiles, doors and windows.It seems that even life has no meaning.

This group of people, no matter how much money the developer gives, they don't want to move.

Regardless of whether the local neighbors want to demolish or not, there is another objective fact.That is, in the entire development scope of the old western city, only a small number of buildings have the function of historical relics and have the value of restoration and protection of cultural relics.Most of the remaining old urban areas, including buildings in urban villages, have no value for repair and maintenance at all due to old houses, aging pipelines, and other miscellaneous reasons.And because this part of the area is located in the center of the planning, if you want to demolish, the compensation for demolition alone will be a lot of money.

Gu Chen did some preliminary calculations. The budget for demolition and relocation alone almost caught up with the construction of two commercial streets in the suburbs of Dongcheng.

The development cost is so high, not to mention whether the government can agree, first of all, the developer cannot do it.

Gu Chen sighed, feeling that the development of the old western city is indeed a long way to go.He can only do his best to obey the destiny.

It took Gu Chen a week to collect a large amount of information that he thought would be useful, including the Confucius Temple, Mao'er Alley, Lotus Pond and other cultural relics worth repairing from the old papers in the Xicheng District Library. Local chronicles of old buildings.I wrote an article with a full [-] words, full of pictures and texts, about how to integrate the development of the old western city with the restoration of cultural relics, such a half-thesis and half-planning book.It was handed over to Professor Xing on time on Friday morning.

Professor Xing flipped through the planning book that his favorite student had spent a week working out, and was a little curious in addition to being pleasantly surprised: "Why are you so active this time?"

Gu Chen was slightly embarrassed when he was exposed by the professor that he was always cheating and cheating, and liked the carefree thoughts.

Fortunately, Professor Xing just made a joke, and returned to the topic: "You want to combine the development of the old western city with the restoration of historical buildings, highlighting the local customs, and use this feeling to attract foreign investors to participate in investment and development?"

"Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Gu Chen nodded: "I think it should be fine."

Gu Chen pointed to the who's who of business that he had attached at the end of the proposal.It lists the biographies of several entrepreneurs in detail - born in Mayor A, mayor in City A, emigrated overseas for study or other reasons, or started their own businesses in Hong Kong, Macao and Bay.Today, more than half a hundred people are keen on charity, and they frequently mentioned that they miss their hometown very much in interviews with the media.

Gu Chen also carefully intercepted these interview clips, and listed the summaries of these entrepreneurs doing charity in the Mainland next to them.Including donating to build hope primary schools, libraries, orphanages, sponsoring students, building bridges and paving roads, etc.

"If we communicate well, we can convince these people. I think they are at least capable and willing to do this." Gu Chen said.

Professor Xing nodded, looking at the middle part of the planning book, Gu Chen also took a lot of real photos of the landmark buildings in Xicheng District, such as Confucius Temple, Maoer Hutong, Lianhua Pond, etc., and marked "sensational" in bold and bold. Big characters, slightly puzzled: "What is this?"

Gu Chen was a little embarrassed: "I just want to invite some literary masters to write memoirs or short prose biographies, so as to awaken people's reluctance for the local people in the old city. It's hard to leave the homeland, hard to get together with old friends, etc. It can arouse people's reluctance. People are nostalgic."

To sell their feelings, it is best to touch those entrepreneurs and let them spend money to help the development and construction of the old western city.At the same time, it meets the needs of the government to attract foreign investment.

Gu Chen couldn't speak his words poorly, he tried to signal Professor Xing with his eyes: "You understand."

Professor Xing raised his eyebrows: "You have quite an idea."

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Then why didn't you write two articles yourself?"

Gu Chen choked for a moment, didn't really want to say it, but finally said reluctantly: "...I didn't hold back."

Professor Xing: "..."

Professor Xing was almost amused by Gu Chen's upright and aggrieved appearance.After laughing, Professor Xing also had to sigh with emotion, feeling that the biggest advantage of Gu Chen, a student, is his strong execution ability.He never struggles with whether something should be done, but skips this stage and directly finds a way to make it happen.No matter how much effort you have to put in, it doesn't matter whether you can really succeed.Just go all out to do it.

And there are a lot of tricks, the key is that after you read the plan, you still think it is very feasible.

Professor Xing looked at the part about the folk commercial street in the planning book: "...to create a CBD business district with Chinese characteristics, to promote Chinese culture, to enhance national cohesion, self-confidence and pride..."

"Use the advantages of the Internet to promote the folk commercial street, create a popular tourist destination on the Internet, and integrate department store shopping with travel, entertainment, eating and gathering..."

Not to mention anything else, just these few concepts are novel enough.And he knows how to capture the mind of the superior.

Gu Chen said: "Actually, in the process of urban construction, we have always liked to refer to the urban construction history of western developed cities, and like to build commercial centers like Manhattan and Wall Street. Prosperity is indeed very prosperous, but it does not reflect our The 5000-year-old historical and cultural characteristics of the country."

And the most important point: "If we can try to implement this plan to promote the development of the old city in the west, then we can also win the part of the people who call for the protection and restoration of cultural relics to stand on our side. In this way, our voice will be will be bigger."

I also want to unite all forces that can be united.

Professor Xing smiled, feeling that this primary school student was really caring and caring enough.

The idea is very good, but if you want to implement it, there are also great difficulties.

Professor Xing thought for a moment, then continued to take the school exam: "What do you want to do?"

"First of all, I think we should invite some well-written writers and historians to write articles, recall the old events in Xicheng District, and then popularize the history of the cultural relics that will be demolished. Let's build this momentum first."

"We can also launch an essay solicitation activity on the Internet, so that all interested netizens can join in and write articles to recall childhood memories. Including stories related to the old residence and local cultural relics. You can eat, drink, and have fun."

The last thing is to find a way to get in touch with those business celebrities mentioned at the end of Gu Chen's plan, and see if they are willing to invest in the development of the old western city.If possible, Gu Chen would also like to invite the other party to a "one-day trip to hometown" or something like that.Attract investors as much as possible.

Professor Xing couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw Gu Chen talking eloquently.Although he couldn't be sure whether the plan would be successful, he had to admit that Gu Chen's plan was completely in line with the interests and goals of the Western faction.Moreover, Gu Chen's plan is not just empty talk, at least in Professor Xing's view, it is partly feasible.Nor was he blindly optimistic. At least in Gu Chen's plan, Professor Xing saw Gu Chen soberly pointing out that the biggest problem in developing the old western city is that the cost of demolition is too high, and the cost of repairing historical buildings is also high. The sum is almost double that of the development of Dongcheng District - it clearly shows the disadvantages of competition.

"Have you ever thought about it?" Professor Xing asked with a smile, "you have worked so hard to come up with such a plan. If I have no intention of adopting it, what should you do?"

Gu Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "There's nothing to do. I'm just writing a thesis. Writing a thesis every month isn't the homework that the professor assigned me!"

The heart is quite big.

Professor Xing smiled slightly, and found that Gu Chen seems to have broadened his mind recently, unlike when he just started school, he was always sad.

"Okay!" Professor Xing closed Gu Chen's proposal: "I'll think about it again."

Gu Chen also understands that it is absolutely impossible for Professor Xing to get the whole western faction to agree to his plan and vigorously promote this plan.The financial and material resources and even human costs involved in this are too high, and more people need to agree.

More haste less speed.Gu Chen was just doing his best.As for whether his plan can be recognized by more people in the Western School, it depends on Professor Xing.

After discussing the business, Gu Chen was about to leave Professor Xing's office.I saw Professor Xing pointing to an idle laptop on the desk: "I remember you don't have your own computer, do you? In the future, you will often go to meetings with me, and some meeting contents and data materials are needed Strictly confidential. This laptop will be given to you first."

Gu Chen was slightly stunned, and immediately came back to his senses: "Thank you, Professor."

When he came out of the professor's office with his laptop in his arms, Gu Chen ran into Qi Yue who came over to hand in his thesis for revision.Qi Yue looked at the laptop in Gu Chen's hand with a complicated expression.

"Congratulations!" Qi Yue looked at the high-spirited Gu Chen, feeling a little uncomfortable: "From now on, you will be Mr. Xing's teaching assistant. You can learn a lot by following Mr. Xing."

"If you have time, the two of us can do a handover. The teaching assistant needs to do a lot of things, and you have to get familiar with it slowly."

From the first day when Gu Chen was named by Professor Xing to sort out the data, Qi Yue was mentally prepared, knowing that this freshman junior would take over his position and become Mr. Xing's future teaching assistant.But Qi Yue never expected that this day would come so soon.What's more, he didn't expect that Mr. Xing's respect and support for Gu Chen even made Qi Yue feel jealous, and even couldn't help making some small moves.

Qi Yue knew that Mr. Xing must have discovered his little actions.Asking Gu Chen to replace him as his assistant and go to the meeting with Professor Xing should be the warning Mr. Xing gave himself.

It's just that Qi Yue didn't expect that Gu Chen would follow Mr. Xing to an economic seminar, and Mr. Xing would be able to completely stand by him.Although Xing Laoming didn't express his position yet, he gave Gu Chen a notebook and asked Gu Chen to go to meetings with him as an assistant in the future.He also informed Qi Yue to take Gu Chen with him when he had time, and told Gu Chen what to do as a teaching assistant—he also specifically mentioned that Gu Chen had a lot of part-time jobs, and asked Qi Yue to help Gu Chen more after handing over—at least when he graduated and left. Before the school, most of the work of teaching assistants was still in charge of Qi Yue.

When Qi Yue thought of Professor Xing's earnest advice to Gu Chen because he was worried about Gu Chen, he compared the treatment when he just became a teaching assistant, Professor Xing didn't say anything, and even occasionally called his brother by the wrong name.My heart became more and more unbalanced.
