Chapter 707: Liverpool 1

Ian El is also interested. He thought that Uncle Costa was seeking 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. He pointed to the red circle in the middle of the map and introduced, "This project is named'Liverpool One', which is an urban commercial As part of the revitalization plan, Liverpool One exists as a large-scale commercial complex in the center of the city. In terms of architectural design considerations, while retaining several key buildings, the design of new and renovated buildings also integrates the corresponding design. The styling element realizes the visual balance between the new building and the old building in the architectural style.

  The original intention of the planning is to make the project meet the needs of various uses and activities. Here, not only provide people with the most innovative leisure shopping environment to enjoy and experience, but also plan a new residential area and office area.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the vitality shown by the Liverpool city center is unprecedented, providing citizens in this city with everything they need for life. Since then, this city center has been transformed into a collection of citizens’ life, work, leisure and entertainment. An integrated urban core space. "

Yang Cheng looked at this map of Liverpool’s city planning and didn’t know what he was thinking about. In fact, this project was nothing new. The concept of urban complex was proposed as early as the last century, and it has been introduced by countless countries since the beginning of the new century. Developers use the project itself without any difficulty. It is nothing more than that the exterior design must conform to the overall plan, that is, it must not be too independent. It must ensure harmony with the surrounding historical environment without losing the beauty of modern architecture. This is professional Designers have enough ability to satisfy.

   However, the development prospects of this project are still debatable. We must know that the overall house price of Liverpool has entered a relatively low period. Even if it is not the price of cabbage, it does not meet the price that the city deserves.

Ian Ayl came over and took a look, and said, "Boss, the location of the'Liverpool One' project is called Cable Walking Street, which is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can walk across this street. It is a seaside area.

   This area was first known for the production of ropes for ships, and the Port of Liverpool as an important port along the British route to global ships.

Later, with the decline of the Liverpool Shipping Terminal, the entire area was abandoned. However, due to the irreplaceable characteristics of the area in terms of history, geographical location and culture, there is sufficient foundation for the existence of the core of the entire city’s reconstruction and reconstruction. It can become a gateway connecting the coastal area and the dock area, and ultimately form the development and construction of the entire coastal area.

   And looking at the planning site of the entire project, the total area under planning occupies about one-third of the downtown area of ​​Liverpool, which has enough room for development. "

Originally, Ian El’s good words were exchanged for Recosta’s grateful eyes, but Ian El’s words changed the next second, and then he said, “However, the security situation in this area is not optimistic and the economy is depressed. , The crime rate is high. According to the master plan stated by Uncle Costa, the primary goal of the project is to connect different areas of the city, such as pedestrian streets, waterfront areas, and existing retail areas and urban business districts. Bring maximum return on development benefits to surrounding communities.

   If the problems left over from history are not resolved, the prospects of this project after its completion may be gloomy. "

   Ian El’s words really made Yang Cheng frowned. If it was what Ian El said, then this project was a complete pit, which had to make Yang Cheng doubt Recosta’s purpose.

The look in Recosta's eyes became more and more uncomfortable. Fortunately, in the officialdom all year round, Recosta practiced a calm expression early, 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 move elsewhere and contribute to the revival of Liverpool. It is the obligation of every Liverpool citizen.

According to ZF's master plan, the project will be divided into six areas, each with its own distinctive characteristics. These areas are concentrated in Paradise Street, Hanover Street, Pitt Lane, parks and bus/tram transfer stations. , They not only show their respective positions in the city center, but also improve their integration as important nodes in the current community and the entire project.

   The entire project covers an area of ​​more than 42 acres and plans to include 30 new buildings, including more than 1.6 million square feet of commercial space, and recruits the famous British department store ‘John ​​Lewis’ as the main store in the commercial area in advance.

The 160 retail spaces under planning are established for the introduction of various types of merchants, including fashion brand stores, movie theaters, and some niche brands of merchants entering the'Liverpool One'. ZF is willing to establish a brand new The cooperation model, once the cooperation is started, the developer will obtain a 250-year lease in the area, but the city of Liverpool still has the freehold property rights of the base. Of course, a certain percentage of the project’s annual income will be owned by the city. . . "

   Although Le Costa didn't say anything in the end, Yang Cheng knew that this ratio was negotiable, and this was one of the conditions he put forward.

   So now the question is, what is the purpose of Recosta who introduced to Yang Cheng so hard and veiled his willingness to help Yang Cheng win this project?

Yang Cheng raised his hand to put the map away and placed it in front of Recosta, smiling indifferently, "Mr. Costa, we might as well open the skylight to speak up. There is no free help in this world. I can get the premise of this big project. What is it? Or in other words, what can I help Mr. Costa?"

To be honest, this project is not very attractive to Yang Orange, but it is always profitable. It is also good to include it in your own business investment in Liverpool. What is important is that the greater your investment in Liverpool, the more It is easy to get the approval of Liverpool fans. If you want to fully control this traditional giants, it is not enough to rely on one or two seasons of investment and high performance. After all, no one can guarantee that the team will always win. Once the team is in a trough, Whether the fans will continue to support themselves is hard to say.

   Therefore, for the "Liverpool One" project, if Costa's conditions are not difficult to handle, it is fine to agree to him.

   Recosta's black face could not see the change in expression. Until now, Yang Cheng hadn't seen him showing his big white teeth.

   "Mr. Yang, I wonder if you understand the British dang pie? What do you think of the conservative dang?"

Yang Cheng was stunned. Although he didn't know much, he still had some basic common sense. At present, the mainstream dang faction in Britain is divided into three powers. Among them, conservative dang and industrial dang are the dominant ones in British politics. Political dang, it can be said that these two parties control the helmsman of the British political arena, with the greatest power and the longest history.

   In addition to these two big dang, there are some small parties, such as liberal and democratic dang, but due to ZZ and historical reasons, it is difficult for them to make a difference in the current British political arena, and only free and democratic dang can barely occupy a place.

   The British parliament and cabinet can be said to be the parliament and cabinet of the dang faction. No matter which dang faction wins the general election, the dang faction can control the parliament and the cabinet.

However, unlike the struggle between the donkey and elephant in the United States, the United Kingdom was the first to implement capitalism in the world. After a long period of development, although there is no statutory law on ZZ, its historically tested constitutional monarchy system has brought Britain a relatively stable In the ZZ situation, the system is not too turbulent.

Of course, among the two dang factions, conservatism is the dominant force and always dominates the political arena. Thanks to Britain’s possession of the oldest royal and aristocratic system on earth today, British conservatism has gradually formed a steady and defensive force. .

It does not blindly oppose progress, but takes a steady attitude towards the process and degree of change. When the existing system can be maintained and continued, it will firmly hold its ground 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.

   So, British conservatism is not absolute conservative. Its conservativeness 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". Although the "Glorious Revolution" has broken the conservative rigidity, it is not a change in the true sense, because it is not a change but a response to tradition. One kind of protection ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is to change steadily to protect tradition.

In order to protect their traditions, the British strive to pass on history, so when they encounter the need for change, the conservatives hesitate because they don’t know what the result of the change will be, but the country’s situation But when it comes to reforms, conservatism hopes that the changes should not be too drastic. Therefore, the 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. For this kind of reserved reform, the existence of British kings and nobles is the best evidence of.

   Therefore, the British people's attitude toward the nobility is not only not repulsive, but rather they 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 entire British society is full of aristocratic spirit and elite class, and everyone in the society has a gentlemanship.

With the development of democratization, although the special existence of aristocracy is incompatible with democracy, the British accepted its existence and made them a symbol of Britain, no longer giving them political power, but becoming the spirit of the entire British people. pursue.

This has also created the existence of people like Recosta, who were born in the market and rise in danger, but they never delay their desire to pursue aristocratic honor, otherwise he will not join the conservative dang. This is from his It is not difficult to know during the questioning.
