Chapter 246: Not Even a Word
Let’s not talk about the impact on cultural communication for now.
From the perspective of economic benefits alone.
Expanding the exhibition area of the Forbidden City is indeed a good move.
It can not only celebrate and build momentum for the Olympic Games, but also reduce financial expenditure, allowing the unit to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
In order to improve the overall image of the city, money has been spent everywhere in recent years.
The reason why Fan Wumian was able to buy the Wanghailou private club and the old courtyard house covering an area of 3083 square meters on the north bank of Houhai was mainly due to the funds raised by clearing out and selling off the inventory during the urban transformation period.
The government was mainly responsible for the construction of some technical facilities, while some assets were handed over to enterprises. With joint investment from both sides, Yanjing began to transform itself and develop rapidly.
under such circumstances.
No wonder that as soon as it was named, someone found No. 28 Di'anmen West Street mentioned in the article and began to evaluate whether the venue there was suitable for temporary transformation into a new exhibition hall.
With more than two years to go before the Olympics, it was too late to rebuild a new pavilion.
As for some princes' palaces in the early years, they were large enough in area, but some were used as official offices. Prince Yong's Palace became the "Longhe Palace" where people burned incense and worshipped Buddha, and Heshen's Prince Gong's Palace was a tourist attraction in itself and could not be borrowed for renovation.
Speaking of the area surrounding the Forbidden City, apart from many unremarkable office buildings, only No. 16000 Di'anmen West Street, with a construction area of more than 28 square meters, is most suitable as an exhibition area to display some cultural relics and attract tourists.
The above-ground building area is more than 4,000 square meters, and the underground building area is more than 10,000 square meters.
Originally the basement could only be converted into a swimming pool, restaurant, kitchen, parking lot, etc., but it is perfect to transform it into a museum exhibition area.
Not only is it easy to create a constant temperature and humidity environment, it is also relatively safe and reliable.
If it were other stars making comments, many people might just ignore them, but Fan Wumian is a little different.
Fan Wumian is not only very famous, but he is also a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong and has amazing influence.
He mentioned that there were too few exhibits in the museum. He rushed there with great enthusiasm, but in the end he was unable to see many of the national treasures that people were familiar with.
The word has already gotten out and it could easily lead to a large loss of tourists.
Many experts have devoted themselves to the restoration of cultural relics for decades, and they really hope that the outside world can appreciate the fruits of their labor.
in summary.
Apart from being a little troublesome, adding a new exhibition area has all advantages and no disadvantages.
So as soon as the news was published, the relevant units immediately sent people to start the investigation.
This is Fan Wumian's side.
Mr. Cai from the architectural design firm was still on the phone with him and asked:
"The total floor area of the upper and lower floors is more than 16000 square meters. Isn't it a little small to use it as a museum? There are many old buildings in the Forbidden City that have not been repaired, and only part of them are open to the public. Some people have suggested before that it is better to turn them into exhibition halls, or find a place outside to build another museum."
Fan Wumian is still considering whether he should abandon the plan of investing in building a five-star hotel.
It is not clear whether it is possible to earn rent or ticket dividends. If the rate of return is good, renting the venue to the museum will obviously be easier and more convenient for Zhuang Muxi.
He replied to Mr. Cai:
"If we only display some fine cultural relics, the area is barely enough. If we turn it into a fine museum, it may be easier to attract tourists to pay for tickets."
"Maybe we're just going to take a look. We haven't even started yet. Don't stop working. Make the detailed drawings first."
"If this venue is really taken a fancy to, I will probably still ask you to help with the design and renovation so as not to hinder our cooperation."
Boss Cai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was worried about losing this large order with a gross profit of two to three million RMB. There are more and more decoration design companies in Yanjing, and business is not doing well.
He then said to Fan Wumian:
"By the way, Mr. Fan, do you know that a buyer has recently come to see the land next to your 3,000-square-meter No. A yard?"
"The buyer is of some importance. He seems to be the owner of the Paradise KTV. He wants to buy both the old courtyards B and C and open a high-end private club."
“It might be a bit noisy, but we’ll use triple-glazed windows so the noise shouldn’t be too loud.”
"."
Hear the words.
Fan Wumian was so shocked that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Just thinking that the house next to your house is going to become a brothel?
I heard that no matter what type of girl you like, you can find them at the Paradise KTV. Fan Wumian has always wanted to go there to broaden his horizons, but unfortunately, as a celebrity, he can't show up in such occasions. Now it's all right.
In the future, you can go to the "Houhai branch of the paradise on earth" by climbing over the wall. When Fan Wumian thought of this, he was filled with frowns.
It would not be a good thing if this kind of brothel was built next door to my house.
For a moment.
Fan Wumian even began to consider whether he should buy Courtyard B and Courtyard C together and use them as the headquarters of Bandit King Media and his own studio in the future.
But even if it is not opened next door, it is possible to open it across the alley, or somewhere else. It is not possible for him to buy all the surrounding land that is being demolished and develop it as a whole to become a real estate businessman.
It’s not that we can’t make money from developing it, but we no longer have the energy and financial resources to do it in the short term.
Considering that even if a Paradise on Earth KTV is really opened, it will probably take three or four years for it to open, and it might even be closed down directly.
Fan Wumian was too lazy to worry about the future, so he decided to waste time before something bad actually happened. He said through the phone:
"Really? Can you help me ask about the prices of those two courtyards? Recently, the saying that the north bank of Houhai has the best feng shui has been widely circulated. Compared with my purchase price, the land price should have increased, right?"
Boss Cai replied:
"It costs about 14,000 to 15,000 yuan per square meter. If I didn't have too much money in advance, I would also like to take out a loan to buy a small courtyard. I think it is more suitable for retirement than a villa."
Boss Cai is already in his forties and has indeed reached an age where he should consider how to prepare for retirement in advance.
After hanging up the phone.
Fan Wumian returned to bed and calculated the time, and found that his girlfriend Zuo Ziyan had slept for more than 8 hours.
So I urged her to get up and do some morning exercises.
Zuo Ziyan was a little grumpy when she woke up and almost kicked him off the bed.
She slept for more than half an hour with a thin blanket before getting up, brushing her teeth, and going to the living room of the suite.
We dilly-dallyed until around 9 a.m. local time, then took the photographer out to take some outdoor photos, and then got in the hotel's red and black Rolls-Royce and headed directly to Cambridge.
Agent Jiang Shixi has already brought his assistant to Goodwood, where the Rolls-Royce headquarters is located.
With Fan Wumian's fame and influence, he finally succeeded in attracting the attention of this luxury car manufacturer, who mentioned on the phone that they were willing to sponsor him an extended version of the Phantom for his use in Hong Kong, but he needed to participate in three events in Hong Kong and the mainland.
The extended version of Phantom is a regular model. In order to create some hype, the car dealer also promised to provide a unique color scheme.
The car has a cream-colored body with a blue-gray hood, roof, and trunk lid.
The extended version of Phantom, which is 6 meters in length, is painted in white, which makes it look very large.
Fan Wumian suspected that it was because he couldn't sell it, so he gave it to himself under the name of "exclusively customized color".
This color combination is not his favorite, but just like he doesn't like the shape of the Elegant R, since he has no money to spend, he has no right to be picky. The selling price in the Hong Kong market is about 700 million Hong Kong dollars.
learn by analogy.
Fan Wumian even asked his agent Jiang Shixi to help inquire if there are any yacht manufacturers that would like to use him as an endorsement and promotion in Asia.
I'm not that evil. Even if I don't give it away for free, at least giving you the right to use the yacht for a few years will be fine.
Some small yachts that are less than 20 meters long have a market price of only five or six million Hong Kong dollars, and the production cost is even lower, which is not as exaggerated as people imagine.
Take a bus to Cambridge town.
It's really just a small town with a total population of tens of thousands. The rural scenery in the suburbs is quite beautiful.
Say something.
Visiting Cambridge University is like entering the magical world depicted in the Harry Potter books.
You may find it very interesting when you first see it, but for a student like Zuo Ziyan, after watching it for a month, you won’t find it strange anymore.
After seeing Newton’s apple tree, we visited the place where Zuo Ziyan usually took classes. After walking around for two or three hours, we arrived at the house where she lived.
In order to make life more convenient, she bought a lakeside villa next to the school for only 34 pounds, and hired a housekeeper and a female chef to help with some chores in life.
