Chapter 113 New Housing
The pregnancy of Tang Menglong's life secretary contributed to the complete collapse of the "Barencheng Elders' Accommodation Regulations". [Read the latest chapter] The assignment of living secretaries has made the general office consider the needs of the elders’ separate residences, and now it has been upgraded to the urgent agenda.
But this matter is not simply about building a house for the elders, it also involves the current management system of Bairen City.
The original fortress-like residential area of Bairencheng that integrated office, living, and warehousing areas was no longer appropriate, and the prohibition of entry by indigenous people made life and work very inconvenient.
The distribution of living secretaries has ended, but due to the management regulations of Bairen City, these women cannot enter Bairen City. It was originally planned to build a separate residential area for living secretaries, but the news of the Ming army's crusade put the project on hold. Therefore, the elders could only meet with their life secretaries in the business hall in Dongmen City. The number of rooms in the business hall was limited, and demand exceeded supply for a while. Li Mei was overwhelmed by the continuous complaints - everyone was complaining that there was almost no room for a room, so she could only order the elders and life secretaries to check in for three hours each, and then it was shortened to two hours.
"If I had known this, I should have opened my own express hotel." Li Mei was very enthusiastic about this business opportunity.
Outside of three hours, the life secretaries can only follow the elders to work at their respective posts. This is not bad for the elders sitting in the office, and it changes the working atmosphere in the office; the elders in Nongkou have no dissatisfaction - life Most of the secretaries were from farmers and were good at crop work. However, for the industrial veterans, it seemed very uncomfortable for women to wander around in the workshops. Except for a few seniors who were particularly interested, they began to teach their secretaries how to do it. Except for Hammer, everyone else felt that it was impossible to work this way and it was easy to get distracted.
At night, the life secretary has nowhere to go. It is especially difficult for the elders who do not have a single dormitory to live in at their workplace. They cannot follow the elders back to their dormitories in Bairen City, so they have to go back to the Life Secretary School to live in a group dormitory.
The senators were extremely dissatisfied with this living condition, and the Office's proposal to restart the project was rejected by the Senate. Amid the roars of "We want to live a normal family life," the "Barencheng Elders Accommodation Regulations" that had been in place for more than two years were completely abolished.
Moreover, in order to ensure the convenience of fortification, Bairen City had a small area. It is inconvenient to move and live. The call to build a new residential area, at least a villa area, is getting louder in the Senate.
After some "research", the general office decided to rebuild and expand Bairen City. Reorganize residential and administrative areas. The original residential area was moved out of Bairen City and rebuilt on a selected site.
According to the plan of the construction company, the old city of Bairen City will serve as the administrative center, leaving only the Senate, government agencies and key departments such as telecommunications equipment rooms.
The original living facilities, including dormitories, entertainment facilities, and living service facilities, have all been moved to the "new city". The new town is designed and built entirely in accordance with the requirements of residential areas.
According to the plan, the new city was built on the bank of the Wenlan River. Upstream of the old city, it was built directly on a high ground on the bank of the Wenlan River.
The old and new cities are connected together, with additional walls and gates set up in the middle, which not only facilitate security, but also facilitate the commuting of the elders working in the old city.
According to Mei Wan's planning ideas, the new city is actually a residential community with 500 households. He planned to build the residences of the elders in the townhouse model, which is more land-saving.
He assigned Zhang Xingpei to design these 500 townhouses. Mei Wan plans to build a double-story villa with a usable area of about 100 square meters.
"It's too chilling." Zhang Xingpei frowned, "Although it's impossible for everyone to build a magnificent building like a palace or a castle, we really can't afford this 100-square-meter building. At least we have to build an American-style one. Detached double-storey cabin with front and rear gardens..."
"How big is this community?" Mei Wan said, "Ran Yao is still not satisfied - he thinks the new residential area is too big to be guarded."
Merlin had been holding his chin while looking at the planning drawings, and now he said: "Even if we build townhouses, according to this design, if there are three households per house, there will still be 160 buildings. To be honest, among the real estate projects I have worked on, A villa area of this size is already very large. It is easy to build a house, but the decoration inside the house may consume a lot of resources. Not to mention, the lighting and power distribution inside are very important."
"What are your plans?" Mei Wan had never been very interested in this fellow's lofty views.
"I think it would be better to build apartments..."
Everyone said it was difficult to accept: because now some high-level indigenous cadres have moved into townhouses, and the elders live in apartments instead. In the past, safety was taken into consideration, but now it is difficult to justify it if safety is not taken into consideration. .
"Everyone of the elders plans to have three wives and four concubines. How do you arrange for so many concubines to live in an apartment for others? It would be weird if I don't kill you."
"Listen to me." Merlin said calmly, "The apartment area is small. Five hundred apartments. If you build a three-story apartment, fifty buildings will be enough. Compared with more than a hundred apartments, A townhouse occupies a much smaller area. First of all, it is easier to guard. Secondly, in an apartment of more than 100 square meters, two wives can still be accommodated. If we want more wives, that is a long-term plan - will it happen in three to five years? Will everyone still live in Bairen City?"
He predicted: By the end of the first five-year plan, many of the elders will have been dispersed throughout Hainan Island, and some may even be sent to the mainland and other regions. These people will no longer live in Bairen City. Many houses will be vacant, and overly large villa residential areas will become too neglected and difficult to maintain, manage and defend.
"If an apartment of more than 100 square meters cannot accommodate the future wives of the senators, neither can a townhouse of more than 100 square meters. You must know that many people have the idea of building a mansion or a manor. We can't do it. Are you planning to build 500 manors in Lingao?"
The elders will not regard Lingao as their permanent residence in the future. This place will only be a "holy place" in the future. When it comes to living environment, there are many places on Hainan Island that are much better than Lingao.
"At that time, an apartment in Bairen City will only be a symbol of status. I think those elders who are stationed abroad will only stay in luxury hotels or office guest houses when they come back, and they may not come back to the apartment to stay. "
Instead of building half-baked housing that is neither affordable nor affordable, it is better to simply set lower standards and save some resources and land. Just ensure the housing needs within three to five years. Besides, what the elders now want is a small home where they can stay and fly together with their life secretaries, girlfriends, and wives.
This speech moved Mei Wan - Mei Lin's analysis was very clear: the elders' ultimate goal for housing is palaces, mansions, castles, manors, sea view villas and the like, not to mention townhouses, even wooden houses designed by Zhang Xingpei The structure of American-style single-family houses may not satisfy the elders.
In addition, the construction company is seriously short of various decoration materials and building materials. Even if it builds a villa, it can only be decorated in the Ming style.
"I'm afraid the elders won't be happy."
"Publish the plan to the public. You won't make mistakes." Merlin continued to make suggestions. "The house must be designed to be comfortable and practical. The elders will definitely accept it."
Several people discussed it and decided that the standard apartment for the elders would have three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. The usable area is about 9o square meters.
Merlin said: "One room for the elders, one for the life secretary, and one for spare."
Because Zhen Qian has experience in designing residential buildings, the specific design work was left to her. She suggested that not all buildings should be built according to the scale of three bedrooms and one living room.
"It is difficult to effectively utilize the space with the same structure. In addition, some elders do not necessarily want such a big house. People like agricultural people basically live on farms. If you give them a house, they will not come to live in it. Therefore, small apartments should be set up. It’s convenient for those elders who don’t live in residential areas.”
"Yes, for someone like Wu Nanhai, I'm afraid three bedrooms and one living room are not enough." Mei Wan said sourly.
Everyone burst out laughing, feeling envious and jealous.
Zhen Qian curled her lips: "You are interested in this." She then talked about her design plan: build large, medium and small apartments, with the main ones being large.
"The structure adopts brick-concrete structure and reinforced cement prefabricated floor slabs, which is in line with our productivity level." Zhen Qian said, "There is no problem with the decoration materials, plumbing hardware, all can be produced by ourselves, and sanitary ware and ceramic tiles can also be supplied. The main thing lacking is They are industrially manufactured floors, paints and coatings. If you don't care, simple and simple materials can generally meet the needs. Only wires, lights, and switches are first-level controlled materials. It depends on whether the Planning Institute is willing to allocate materials, but gas and tap water should be installed in households. It can be done.”
"Gas lamps are better for lighting," Merlin said. "They are brighter than candles or oil lamps and are clean and convenient to use."
"It's also very convenient to kill people - aren't there enough cases of deaths caused by gas water heaters?" Mei Wan expressed concern, "I think it's okay to use gas for street lights, but direct home lighting is not as safe as electric lights."
"It depends on whether the Planning Institute agrees or not. However, everyone used to have electricity when they lived in dormitories, but there is no electricity when they live in apartments. I am afraid Wu De would not dare to object." Zhen Qian said.
Everyone discussed the details again. In addition to housing, there are also public garages, entertainment and fitness centers, and logistics service centers. The latter hired a group of reliable maids to wash clothes, cook and clean for the senators - all indigenous women who had passed the strictest political security review. This organization existed in the past, but it was located outside of Bairen City and it was very troublesome to provide services. This time I officially moved into the new city. a! ~!
