Imagine the world

The design project of Connaught University in the United States is Zheyue Town.There are several Chinese of Dongguo origin in the university team, and the person in charge is an authentic American, but he is also regarded as an expert in the study of Dongguo culture. They actually designed an ancient city.

The "ancient city" was built according to the terrain, and the most striking design is the city wall, which is about five kilometers long and wide.

Eleven land gates were opened in the city wall, three each in the east, south, and west, and two in the north. In addition, there was a river passing through the city, and two water gates were opened.

At the base of the city wall is a park around the city, about 20 meters wide, planted with various flowers and trees and a trail passing through it, and the moat around it.Two water gates are connected to the moat, and eleven land gates are connected to the bridge on the moat.

Seeing this plan on the sand table, Hua Zhenxing was amused.These Americans are really interesting, are they just engaged in game design?

If it was a real modern urban planning commission, such a plan would have been scolded and sent back by Party A long ago.But when it was displayed on this occasion, the visitors felt that it was very creative, and almost all voted for it for the best creative award.

Regarding this, Hua Zhenxing did not withdraw. It is impossible for all the visitors to be arranged by him.

Art Award and Creativity Award, the prize money of these two awards is 2000 million yuan, 1000 million is the reward for the team, and the other 1000 million is the fund for improving the follow-up design.Even more important than the bonus is the status achievement it represents.

The first Huanxiang Habitat Award was very successful and caused a huge sensation. As soon as it withdrew, it represented the highest achievement in the field of international planning and design.This is not only out of money, but also includes the real investment of countless people.

The award ceremony of the first award is also the press conference of the second award.The evaluation project of the second Huanxiang Habitat Award is still the design and planning of a city and two towns.

The three award-winning institutions will not participate in the second award, and the organizing committee has invited three new design teams to join.

In the evaluation project of the second Huanxiang Habitat Award, the two towns that need to be designed and planned are Yangyuan Town and Fengjin Town.The organizing committee did not point out the specific address on the actual map, but provided information on geology, hydrology, climate and environment.

All the guests attending the ceremony, including staff and service personnel, have a gift, including a pure gold commemorative coin of the "First Huanxiang Habitat Award".

The commemorative coin was issued by the Deux Bank headquartered in Brussels in cooperation with the World Habitat Foundation. It weighs one ounce, has a face value of [-] Luo yuan, and has a circulation of [-] pieces.

The commemorative coin itself is pure gold, which can preserve its value, and it is impossible to only value and trade it at face value. In the future, it will become a popular collection item in the commemorative coin market, and continue to create influence through another way.

Some things, as long as you do it in the right way and work hard enough, when the conditions are ripe, success will come naturally.

For example, Bikong Lake’s Yangyuanshu training class project suddenly opened up after several years of brewing; another example is the Huanxiang Habitat Award project, which has reached or even exceeded Huazhenhang’s expected goals from the very beginning.

Chapter 552 This is how I grew up

During Ruishiguo, two unpleasant things happened, and they were both at dinner.

Hua Zhenxing is a culinary master and gourmet. It is his daily hobby to gather a table of wine and dishes to eat and drink. He pays attention to the fun of meeting confidants over wine, and he also likes to talk about things at the wine table.

Some people say that this is a Dongguo-style dinner, and people always like to talk about things on the wine table.In fact, it is similar all over the world, and there are many such "foreign dinner parties" attended by Huazhenhang.

Someone, through Rochard, invited Feng Zibin to dinner.This is indeed a rare opportunity, because Feng Zibin is usually not seen at all.

The organizing committee invited [-] professionals and [-] celebrities from all over the world. This time, the one who wants to invite Huazhenxing to dinner is Mr. Bringen, one of the [-] professional judges.

Mr. Blingen is 57 years old this year. He used to be a professor at Connaught University in the United States.

After the resignation of the vice minister, he is now the vice chairman of the American Institute of Architects, and a senior consultant to several large architectural groups and design institutions, and is very influential in the academic, political and business circles.

Since Mr. Bringen took the initiative to invite him and asked Rochaide to introduce him, Huazhenxing took the time to go to the dinner as Feng Zibin.

After the meeting, there were polite greetings first, and Feng Zibin gave the other party due respect, after all, he was a professional judge invited by the organizing committee.Mr. Blingen brought an assistant, while Feng Zibin went to the appointment alone, and Rothschild was also present.

Between Blingan's words, intentionally or unintentionally, he has done sufficient research to determine that the core person in organizing the Happy Habitat Award is not Ketia, but Feng Zibin.

His conclusion does not accept refutation, and Feng Zibin does not refute it, because it is indeed a fact.

Of course, the topic of discussion during the dinner revolved around the Huanxiang Habitat Award. Mr. Blingen asked Feng Zibin the reason and purpose of organizing the Huanxiang Habitat Award with great interest.And his assistant said very little, but he was always observing Feng Zibin.

Feng Zibin did not talk about the significance of the award, but chose the most realistic answer: he wanted to transform Jiliguo and Huanxiangtebang, and build towns and villages that are more livable and more suitable for development needs.

Therefore, he wants to invite the best team as much as possible. All excellent design ideas will become the reference for the project construction in the future. From the beginning, there must be as perfect and reasonable planning as possible.

Then he also thanked Mr. Bringen for his support of the Happy Habitat Award as a judge.

But then Blingan changed his style and put forward a request to Feng Zibin, that is, to exclude the design team of Mauro and Dongguo from the invitation scope of the Huanxiang Habitat Award.

What Blingan meant, Mauro's team should never invite him, while Dongguo's team would try not to invite him.

It is necessary to introduce the background. The first Huanxiang Habitat Award did not invite the design team of a university in Mauro, but the second Huanxiang Habitat Award invited a design team from a university in Mauro to join.

Among the teams invited by the organizing committee, there are ten in Dongguo and outside Dongguo respectively. Among the design institutes invited by the first Huanxiang Habitat Award, there is only one in the United States.

The [-]nd Huanxiang Habitat Award, because the teams from Brussels University, Kang Nai University and Fei University of Technology are no longer participating, so the organizing committee invited another three design institutions, one from Mauro, and the other two still from America and the East.

Feng Zibin didn't speak when he heard the words, just looked at Bollingen's face.

They were talking in the English language just now. Originally, Bollingen's entourage also served as a translator for Dongguoyu, but the translation level is really not very good.Feng Zibin spoke Dongguo at first, but then he started to speak Yin when he couldn't listen anymore.

Feng Zibin could hear clearly that the English word Blingen used was not "suggestion", but "request".

Don't say Feng Zibin is speechless, even Rochard can't hang on his face.Jian Feng Zibin didn't even want to ask the reason. In order to ease the atmosphere of the cold field, Rochard had to ask Bollingen why?

Blingan explained that the United States has imposed sanctions on various areas of Mauro since many years ago.If the design team of Mauro is invited to participate, it will affect the international image of the Huanxiang Habitat Award, and it will not meet the requirements of the United States.

As for the East Country, Blingan is a different set of words.In his opinion, in terms of professional level in the field of planning, the East Country is quite backward, and the United States is the most advanced in the world.

Ten teams from Dongguo and ten teams outside Dongguo, this method is very unreasonable.If Feng Zibin really wants to make the Huanxiang Habitat Award an international authoritative award, he should make changes.

Feng Zibin has enough self-restraint in this kind of situation, but also has decent words and deeds. He neither beat nor scolded anyone, so he didn't speak, and kept a strange silence all the time, as if he didn't understand at all.

The most uncomfortable person in the room was Rochard. In fact, Dr. Luo was only helping to recommend the dinner party, and he didn't know that Blingan would say this at the wine table in advance.

Rochard had to smooth things out. He didn't mention what Blingan just said, but asked Feng Zibin why he planned the Huanxiang Habitat Award, and what were the reasons for it?

Feng Zibin still gave Rochard face, and finally spoke, but he spoke Dongguo again, and Rochard took the initiative to do a two-way translation.

Rochard's current level of Dongguoyu is already very good, at least much higher than the follower brought by Blingan.

Feng Zibin: "Mr. Forgan is also one of the founders of the World Habitat Foundation. The Forgan Foundation acquired the Yangyuan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group in Viking last year and owns a large Yangyuan United Farm. It is planned to build an agricultural and animal husbandry industrial park.

Those two towns are the industrial parks that Yangyuan United Farm will focus on building, and their design and planning plans are also the selection items of the second Huanxiang Habitat Award.

Yangyuan United Farm is located at a high latitude and is on the edge of the Arctic Circle. Many places in Mauro have a similar environment and may have more professional experience, so we invited a new company from Mauro. design team.

As for all the three projects of the first Huanxiang Habitat Award, the urban projects of the second Huanxiang Habitat Award are also the towns that Huanxiang Tebang plans to build in reality, and all design proposals and ideas are related technical reserves.

As for why there are ten design teams in Dongguo, not to mention that I am a Chinese of Dongguo descent, and that almost all the residents of Huanxiang Tebang are Chinese of Dongguo descent, and the local language is Dongguo.

Planning, design and construction are integrated. To carry out such a large-scale infrastructure construction in Huanxiangtebang, the country itself does not have this engineering capability. May I ask who in the world has such infrastructure engineering capability?

When we invited planning and design units, only half of Dongguo’s were invited. This is already to be inclusive and fully absorb various design styles and advanced levels in the world.

All the design and planning schemes are publicly displayed, allowing guests and professionals from all over the world to judge. Everyone has their own opinions on the results of the award selection. If anyone's scheme is insufficient, the whole world can see it. "

These words should have been said to Blingan, but Feng Zibin kept facing Rochard when he spoke, and did not look at Blingan's face at all.

The character "Feng Zibin" is a genius investor, a philanthropist full of humanistic caring spirit, and a playboy who likes to be adventurous and adventurous. He embodies the contradictory side of human nature.

A person like him may not turn his face on the spot out of courtesy, but he doesn't have to look at Bollingen's face at all.On the other hand, no matter what kind of character, the person behind this identity is Hua Zhenxing.

Therefore, what Feng Zibin said is very real, and there is no false statement.Blingan first came to a conclusion, but the evidence for his conclusion is nonexistent, and this year's Happy Habitat Award is the best proof.

This time, the design and planning schemes of the [-] participating institutions have been publicly displayed in a special sub-venue for nearly half a month. They are basically works of the same grade, and there is no obvious difference in level.

As expected, the University of Brussels programme has won the inaugural award of the Happy Habitat Award.But the other two consolation prizes were won by Fei Tech University and Kang Na University's programs.

Fei Institute of Technology's plan won the Art Award, which is no problem from the perspective of professional level.On the contrary, the plan of Cornell University won the Creative Award. The main factor is obviously that it contains novelty or spoof elements, which is in line with traffic thinking.

Facts have proved that Bollingen's sentence "In terms of professional level in the field of planning, the East is quite backward, and the United States is the most advanced in the world." In fact, it is not true.

Then there must be other reasons for the conclusions and requirements that Blingen draws from this.But what does this have to do with Feng Zibin?This is the Happy Habitat Award, not the Bollinger Habitat Award!

The United States has reached the world's leading level in many fields, and until now, many of these fields still maintain the world's top level, but in terms of large-scale infrastructure, it has lost its competitiveness in recent decades.

One of the simplest and most superficial reasons is the lack of practice.Complete new district planning and design projects, at least in recent decades, other countries in the world combined have not done as much as Dongguo.

As a professional in the field, Bollingen should be well aware of this fact.

Feng Zibin's words were very calm, and it was really difficult to refute. Blingen did not respond directly, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and changed his tone: "To design a whole new city, 1000 million Luo is not enough."

Feng Zibin was slightly startled, because this is also a big truth, but what kind of brain circuit?He had no choice but to look at Rochard and reply: "As much as you can do it, you can do it as much as you can. It mainly reflects the overall style and ideas."

When the award organizing committee invited design teams a year ago, each company gave 1000 million yuan in advance. This is not a bonus, but a start-up fund. You can’t ask people to work for nothing, right?

According to Blingen, it is definitely not enough to spend 1000 million Luo Yuan to complete the entire design of a city, even a town.

That's right!But the organizing committee did not make such a request. It only required each design unit to make a master plan, and 1000 million Luo was already quite a lot.Since it is necessary to get an international public evaluation, it is impossible for the design teams to be perfunctory.

Most importantly, the Habitat Award has another feature that is unmatched by any other award in this field.

In the past, awards in the field of construction or planning and design were awarded to completed projects and were jointly created by the design team and the engineering team.But the Huanxiang Habitat Award is a drawing on white paper, and there are only pictures, not real objects.

That's why the organizing committee used another solution, a virtual display with a holographic sand table.No one can guarantee that the urban projects designed by each team can actually be seen in reality, which is why the Cognex University team came up with that kind of idea.

What the organizing committee wants is the overall planning scheme. Under this premise, there is no difference between a town, a city, or even a country. To what extent can it be achieved, it mainly depends on the overall design idea and level.

To put it another way, no owner-unit has yet spent so much money on a project that doesn't even exist.Although Feng Zibin is rich and likes to spend money, Hua Zhenxing, who stands behind this status, will never waste anything.

If you really want to see such a city appear in reality, all the design costs must be more than 1000 million Luo, not to mention the astronomical construction costs.

What Blingen means is that the 1000 million funding is not enough. If more funding is given, the design team can provide better and more complete solutions, so some teams invited by the organizing committee will be redundant.

There are only three projects, but [-] teams have to be invited. Why not reduce the number and focus on inviting international elite teams and give them the savings?

Bollingen didn't say these words explicitly, but Hua Zhenxing understood his subtext.And Huazhenxing didn't explain, and didn't want to ask any more questions.

Blingan looked at Feng Zibin and said, "So Lord Feng insists that there is no need to make any reforms in the current model of the Habitat Award?"

Feng Zibin: "Of course we will continue to improve according to the actual situation, but not according to your requirements."

Blingen: "The obvious unreasonable things that appear in the world can have unreasonable effects. Everyone who is mindful has a responsibility to correct such mistakes."

A certain word in this sentence is not very well-translated, and can only be translated as "righteousness in mind". In fact, it also means justice, righteous faith, guarding righteous faith, and representing correct belief. Rochard's translation is already very good.

Feng Zibin finally turned his head to look into Bollingen's eyes and said, "Then how does Mr. Bollingen plan to correct it? If you think you should eat with a knife and fork, don't ask others not to use chopsticks."

Blingen ignored Feng Zibin's metaphor, and replied in a dignified tone: "If this is the case, the Huanxiang Habitat Award will be boycotted by the best teams in the world.

The elite design agency team represented by the United States will not accept the invitation of the organizing committee.In the international professional field, the Huanxiang Habitat Award will not be recognized..."

Rochard's face became very ugly, and he did not continue to do translations. He was observing Feng Zibin's face, maybe he was a little afraid that Feng Zibin would overturn the table.

Feng Zibin did not change his face, because he had no expression, and slowly replied: "Where I grew up, there were thugs and criminals everywhere.

Some people get all kinds of threats, blackmail, and demands, even if they have done nothing wrong.For example, give him all the money you have in your pocket, for example, you must listen to what he says and do what he says in that neighborhood.

We don't want to live in that world, so we're building a new world.Mr. Bollingen, that's how I grew up! "

Chapter 553 I Was Young At That Time

This is another big truth!Rochard was worried that Huazhenxing would overturn the table, but Huazhenxing looked calm.Some people made arrogant and unreasonable demands inexplicably. Huazhenxing had seen too many since childhood, and he did not even investigate the specific reasons one by one.

For example, a gangster pulls out a knife and robs. Maybe he just wants to buy drugs, or he just has a temporary intention. Is Huazhenhang interested in asking?

He has seen through the more fundamental reason, the entire Jili Kingdom is already rotten, and maggots will naturally breed everywhere.It doesn't make much sense to ask why a maggot becomes a maggot, whether it is a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality.

Hua Zhenxing's sympathetic idealism is to change the world he lives in, and in that world, human nature can be distorted and morality can not be lost.Therefore, when he killed people like Jin Datou, he did not hesitate.

Today he also didn't ask Blingan why, but Rochard felt that he couldn't go down the stairs a little, so he took the initiative to ask a few more questions.

What happened today seemed familiar, just on a different occasion, in perhaps the most expensive restaurant in the world, at the most expensive dinner, in front of well-dressed people.

Facing Bollingen's request, Huazhenxing had no intention of negotiating, and when the other party issued threats and threats, Huazhenxing had no interest in bargaining.

He has grown up like this since he was a child, and is used to seeing this kind of situation.Someone was walking down the street without making any mistakes, and suddenly someone jumped out and pointed a knife at him... This kind of scene is really familiar.

At this time, the so-called negotiation is meaningless. Is it possible to negotiate with the other party, you will only take half of my money, and then keep half of it for me?In the end, the other party only stole the money but not your clothes and shoes. Do you want to thank the other party for your kindness and generosity?

This is not a matter of strength. Sometimes the strength is not enough to resist, and you will lose your own things.This is a cognitive problem, and Huazhenxing knows very well that such discussions are meaningless.

If Hua Zhenxing did not have this kind of understanding, there would not be today's Xinjili Kingdom and Huanxiang Tebang, nor would there be today's Huanxiang Habitat Award, not to mention the visualization country in his dreams.

The dinner party ended unhappily so far, and Blingan took the lead to leave. Huazhenhang didn't even get up to see him off, but Rochard kept sending him to the elevator outside.

Just as Rochard closed the door and was about to speak after returning, Hua Zhenxing's voice sounded in his Yuanshen: "There are monitoring equipment in this room."

Rochard was taken aback. He almost called out the title "Xiaohua" just now, and now he quickly changed his words: "Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't know in advance that he would say this."

Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's find a place to have two drinks." The two of them didn't seem to be in a good mood, so they left the box silently without speaking.

This is the most high-end hotel in Rui Shiguo. It is located in the city where the World Economic Forum annual meeting is held. It often receives celebrities from all over the world, including heads of government.

The hotel has strict security measures, but there should never be surveillance in the box, nor should there be any secret monitoring equipment, which involves the privacy of important guests.

If a guest like Ciel dined here, it would be checked by Secret Service before Ciel was allowed in.Ciel didn't come to Rui Shiguo this time, but there are quite a few heads of government here who are bigger than Ciel.

That's why this matter seems particularly strange, as it is said that the hotel will not be in such a situation.This can only explain one situation. The monitoring equipment was temporarily installed by someone else, just for this dinner party.

So is the monitoring target Bollingen, Rochard or Feng Zibin?What is its purpose?

The two came to Feng Zibin's residence, and after closing the door, Hua Zhenxing said, "There should be no problem here, you can talk freely."

As soon as Rochard took his seat, he couldn't wait to ask: "Who wants to monitor our dinner today?"
