After the National Day, the bidding for office buildings in the Xizhou Economic Development Zone was fully launched. The bidding conference was held in the small auditorium of the Xizhou Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference. Leaders from the Provincial Department of Construction, Xizhou City and the Economic Development Zone attended and delivered speeches. The Economic Development Zone and the Municipal Construction Bureau jointly issued a bidding announcement, and tender documents were sold to participating companies on site.
This development zone infrastructure bidding includes three bidding sections: the development zone office building, the development zone park, and the citizen activity square. The provincial first construction, second construction, provincial Yian Construction Group, Xizhou Railway Engineering Company, and even the newly listed China Construction, also came to the site to listen to the bidding briefing, and purchased the bidding document on the spot like everyone else. Secretary Wang Shan and Shitou participated in the bidding on behalf of the construction and decoration company of Liufang Industrial Group Company, as well as large professional state-owned enterprises in these countries, provinces and cities. After listening to the bidding briefing, Secretary Shitou felt that the company currently has no relevant construction experience in large-scale modern office buildings and parks, so based on reality, it only purchased the bid document for the Citizen Square.
After the bid was bought, Yang Liufang contacted the person in charge of the design institute that designed the dormitory building for them, and personally took Yanhua, Wang Shan and Secretary Shitou to visit the person in charge of the design institute. If the plan could be finalized, Yanhua could directly contact him Communicate with the other party about payment matters. The design institute is very familiar with the projects in the development zone, and they even participated in the overall planning and layout of the early development zone. Through communication with the person in charge, Yang Liufang knew that their institute had accepted the commission from Provincial First Construction to help Provincial First Construction design all bidding projects in the entire development zone. The leader also told them indirectly that it was not about money, but the overall design. If the government office building, citizen park and activity square in the development zone were from the same design team, then the overall planning and layout and the meaning and coordination of the architectural plan would be different. In this way, whether it is the explanation of the design plan when singing the bid, including the impression given to the bid evaluation experts, as well as the future construction, as well as the completed effect, it will have a good promotion effect.
Only then did Yang Liufang regret that he had not purchased the tender documents for all projects. He cast the net widely and focused on catching fish, which would give him greater certainty. But the matter has come to this, and he has no choice but to do so. The implication of the person in charge of the design institute is equivalent to declining their project. After listening to the analysis of design experts, Yang Liufang felt that he had no confidence in this bid. After being polite with the person in charge, they left with the three of them. The four of them went downstairs and just reached the corner of the stairs when they saw a woman with long flowing hair standing on the corner platform, lowering her head and clasping her fingers. Her broad shirt reached to her knees, and she was as thin as a paper figure. Hearing the footsteps, he quickly raised his head and shook his hair coolly.
"Are you Mr. Yang?"
"Hello, who are you?" Yang Liufang looked at him carefully and found that he was a young man.
"Mr. Yang, my surname is Han, I am a designer at the institute. I am the chief designer of your group's dormitory building project. I just passed by the door of our leadership office and saw you communicating about the project. I heard about the citizen activity square. Yes, has the negotiation been settled?"
"No. The leader said that the hospital has taken over the overall design of the Provincial First Construction. He was worried that if we bid individually, the possibility of winning the bid would be relatively small, so he declined."
"Then can I apply to do it?"
"you mean?"
"It's not convenient here."
"Oh, that's it. I'll drive out and wait for you at the gate of the hospital. Let's find a place to chat."
"Yeah." He nodded solemnly.
After meeting outside the door, Yang Liufang took the young man to the provincial TV station and called Northwest Feng. After she informed the gate, the gate let their car in. Northwest Feng helped them find a small conference room in the provincial station. Because it would be easier to undertake advertising and cooperation after marketization, the provincial station built six such small conference rooms, and the furniture was purchased from Yang Liufang's factory. When they arrived at the conference room and closed the door, Northwest Feng arranged for the intern to pour water for them, then closed the door and stopped disturbing them. Yang Liufang motioned to Secretary Shitou to show the young man the bid document.
"Designer Han, you can call him that." He nodded shyly. "This is our bid document. The reason why we did not purchase the entire project is because we are not confident in ourselves and have no experience in building office buildings and parks. We thought the square would be easy to build, so we only bought the bid document for this one project." He listened while listening Yang Liufang introduced, while flipping through the bidding documents.
"Mr. Yang, leaders, I have read it. So, what our leaders said is correct, but not entirely. Yes, because according to our leaders, a city's public buildings form a system, giving people a sense of uniformity. It is easy to plan, and you will definitely not go wrong by doing this. But on the other hand, if the buildings in a city are the same, there will be a lack of novelty, and there will be an ordinary and lifeless feeling. So if you look at Manhattan, Tokyo, Hong Kong, including In our Shanghai, no building in the same area is exactly the same. Buildings with different styles create the city's distinctive personality and make the city more vibrant."
As Designer Han spoke eloquently, Yang Liufang became more and more excited as he listened. He couldn't help but sit up straight. He didn't expect that this slovenly and unattractive young man could be so talented. As a designer, my understanding of cities and architecture is not only the accumulation of physical building materials such as reinforced concrete and asphalt roads, but also a humanistic concept. He described the city as "personalized" and "vibrant", making it feel like one person. Yes, even as small as one person, no two places are exactly the same. He himself is unwilling to accept the project on his own site. How can he watch foreign construction companies reveling here? At least he is dancing on the same stage. The original spark may have been due to his peers, but Yang Liufang was ignited by the passion and talent of this young designer.
"Then what you mean is that we can find another way and create a design with a different style."
"Of course, we must first understand the essence and connotation of the citizen activity square. In essence, it is a public service facility provided by the government to the people. The purpose is to provide citizens with public spaces for leisure and entertainment and places for activities. From our professional In terms of urban planning, in essence, it is also the need for urban space composition. Like a Chinese painting, if the building is the main body of a city, then the square is the blank part. On a deeper level, from the connotation of the square, it is a city’s spiritual civilization construction The epitome of it. It not only includes features such as cleansing, greening, lighting, and ordering, but it is also a bridge and link between the government and citizens, and between citizens and the outside world, perfecting the ecological chain function of the entire city. Therefore, it must be inclusive. It is not an architecture that follows a certain subject.”
"Urban ecological chain" is the first time Yang Liufang has heard this term. In his understanding, urban ecology means environmental protection, and his group's tannery factory was investigated because of this. Yes, "linking the government and citizens, citizens and the outside world", people and people, people and the government, and even city managers, don't they live in a huge ecological chain? If the government is harmonious and the people are harmonious, the ecology will be harmonious; otherwise, chaos will abound. Especially during this economic crisis, I feel it even more deeply. The world economic environment is not good, causing the domestic economic environment to deteriorate sharply. If a butterfly in the Amazon flaps its wings, a typhoon will rise in the North Atlantic.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously touched his pockets for paper and pen. This was a habit he had developed over the years. He was used to writing down all important things and knowledge points with a pen. He firmly believed that a good memory was not as good as a bad pen. When Yanhua saw it, he hurriedly took out a notebook and pen from his bag and handed them over.
"Designer Han, through your explanation just now, we have a new understanding of the project. If our group entrusts you to form a team to design this citizen square project, how confident can you be?"
"50%, either success or failure."
"Isn't that the same as not saying anything!" Secretary Shitou couldn't hold himself back and felt that this young man was unreliable and boastful.
"Of course the leaders are different. If they follow our design proposal, they will either use ours or discard it. Once the decision-makers abandon our plan, they can only make a design that has no personality, no design, and cannot represent the city. The vibe stuff.”
"Then why didn't you tell your leader your thoughts?" Yanhua asked.
"Tell me, people..." He spread his hands and shrugged.
"Why?"
"In the final analysis, design institutes belong to the system and have too many constraints. Unlike many big foreign designers, such as our Chinese-American I.M. Pei, they are artists themselves and care more about the humanistic atmosphere of architecture. The lowest level within the system The best level is that I would rather not do it than make a mistake, and the better one is that I would rather have 80% risk-free than 10,000%, and there may be a trace of risky plan." Yang Liufang couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
"Are you so confident?" Wang Shan asked.
"Yes." Designer Han nodded firmly. Yang Liufang found that this was his habitual action once he was confident about something.
"What about the fees? How do you charge?"
"If I form a team to do it, there will be six of us, and we will charge 120,000 for the design fee and plan." Yang Liufang and the four of them looked at each other, and finally everyone looked at Yang Liufang.
"Let's do this. We will give you 150,000 yuan. We want the best plan."
"No, just 120,000. We can also make the best design."
"Listen to what you say. In this way, we will work together. If we win the bid with your plan, our group company will reward you with a one-bedroom house in the dormitory building you designed."
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Perhaps the bohemian Designer Han was really moved, so he stood up and bowed to Yang Liufang.
