Chapter 318: Potsdamer Platz
Robin then takes the group to Potsdamer Platz, the new center of Berlin, which is surrounded by lively and colorful urban scenes, and if the Berlin Wall represents Germany's past, then this square is a different mark of modernity.
It's a bustling place, with a lot of tourists, a sense of modernity, high-rise buildings, restaurants, shopping promenades, theaters and cinemas.
Robin told everyone that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Potsdamer Platz was the largest construction site in Europe, and over the years, there were office buildings, shops, restaurants, residential buildings, restaurants and musical theaters, and it seems that Berlin's high-rise buildings are concentrated here.
"The planning and construction of Potsdamer Platz is a good reflection of the whole process of modern urban design, it is a very representative building, as a Chinese person, very familiar, I often bring my children here to shop and play. ”
"It's very popular, it's very famous in Berlin, people love to come here, it's a lot of people. ”
"If you are popular, you will see that there is a business atmosphere, many shops are opened here, all kinds of world famous brands gather here, come and see, take a look, shopping, it is still a very good choice, I suggest you can follow me for a circle, feel the business atmosphere and super high popularity here." ”
"Okay, let's take a look!" Xia Yuxiang, the head of the group, agreed, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie followed behind, watching as they walked, there were exotic customs in foreign countries, which was very attractive.
Potsdamer Platz is surrounded by magnificent buildings designed by renowned architects, including the Sony Center, Daimlerstadt and Berlin Hauptbahnhof, the largest hub train station in Europe.
"It's a very good location, it's the most prosperous business center in Berlin, it's easy to get around, and it's a city that never sleeps, where you can work, shop, shop or play day and night. ”
"If you're at a huge crossroads here, you'll find a high-density transportation hub with access in the city center in all directions. ”
Listening to Robin say this, Qu Lihua did feel it, she stood on the street, watching the tourists around her, they were in groups of threes and twos, talking and laughing, using different languages, they came from all over the world, they were attracted by this historic and charming city, restaurants, shopping malls, theaters and cinemas, modern entertainment venues, as long as you can think of, everything.
It is synonymous with urban life in Germany, and outside the high-rise buildings of Daimlerstadt, the Sony Center is surrounded by seven buildings that catch the attention of visitors, and the roof of the central area surrounded by buildings is in the shape of an open-air tent, which stands quietly under the bright lights at night, making it one of the most beautiful night views in Berlin at night.
The Berlin International Film Festival, held every February, is a world-renowned festival where many well-known directors and stars gather, stars walk the red carpet, compete for beauty, and media reporters will hold cameras and video cameras to track and report.
From time to time, young people from Germany come in groups, Qu Lihua asked them for directions in English, they were also very friendly and smiled, very happy to show Qu Lihua the way, looking very friendly.
"Germany does have the grandeur of a big country, and the people are still very friendly and kind!" Qu Lihua said.
"Yes, young people in Germany are still very tolerant and friendly, many young people have heard of China, and there are also some German students who apply to study in China, and Chinese students come to study in Germany, young people's concepts are more in line with the trend of the times than the elderly, they can not only look at history considerably, but also seek common ground while reserving differences, and can work together, like our multinational company, which recruited Chinese employees, and we are very happy to work together. ”
"We are all young people, we are very happy to communicate, study, and work together, and some of them have become my very good friends, we are together, trust each other, get along happily, and sublimate our feelings, I think it is very rewarding for each other. ”
"People want to get a sense of identity, to be able to come to the world once, but also hope that they can influence the people around them, and can also achieve something in their careers, I believe that many young people, whether they are young people in Germany or young people in China, also have the same ideas as me, we are destined to meet, to work together, to do something, in order to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries, I feel that life is very meaningful. ”
"I also encourage the German friends I know to make more friends with Chinese friends, some of the Chinese friends I know are very good, they are highly educated, good character, honest and kind, spread positive energy, very inspirational, positive, and Chinese very hardworking, which is worth learning from. ”
Robin was very modest, and seeing that he was very sincere, Head Xia Yuxiang nodded.
"Yes, Dean Zhang often praises you, when you went to study in China, your academic performance was very good, you were open-minded and studious, and you respected your teachers, which left a deep impression on Dean Zhang and many teachers, and after graduation, you also married the Chinese sister of your classmates, which is really a fate. ”
Robin smiled, "This is also something I didn't think of before I went to China, I went to China to study was a risky decision, at that time my parents also persuaded me, they were worried that I would go to China to study, I couldn't find a job after graduation, and after returning to Germany, I missed the best age to find a job, after all, companies like to recruit young people, go to study abroad and go to graduate school back, the age increases, the competitive advantage will decline." ”
"But after I went to study abroad, I was looking for a job in China, I happened to meet a German multinational company recruitment, I passed the written test and interview, I successfully applied for the job, I can speak three languages, German, English and Chinese, graduate in economics and management, my education plus my language advantage, let me successfully knock on the door of multinational companies, which I am still very grateful to the professors who taught me." ”
"It is their cultivation that has made me who I am today, and I am still very grateful to Dean Zhang, who has also had a great influence on me, and academically, he is also a respected old professor, and I have always respected him. ”
Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, it was a little rainy at this time, and Head Xia Yuxiang asked everyone to hide from the rain under the eaves of a shop, and chatted with Robin about the water table in Berlin.
"I wonder if the drainage here is smooth?"
Robin said: "I've been to a lot of cities, if the drainage is not done well, it will form waterlogged, because the water table in Berlin is shallow, so the commercial area is required to be built to neither increase the amount of groundwater recharge nor increase the amount of rainwater discharge, so as to prevent rainwater from becoming waterlogged." ”
"The developer has adopted such a scheme for the use of rainwater, and all the roofs of buildings suitable for the construction of green space have been built into green roofs, and the use of green space to store rainwater has prevented the generation of rainwater runoff on the one hand, played a role in flood control, and on the other hand, increased the evaporation of rainwater, increased air humidity and improved the ecological environment. ”
"For the roof that is not suitable for the construction of green space, or the remaining rainwater that cannot be digested by the green roof, it will enter the underground total reservoir through a special rain drain pipe with a certain filtration effect, and then connected with the ground artificial lake and water landscape by the water pump to form a rainwater circulation system, and the underground total reservoir is equipped with an automatic water quality monitoring system and a rainwater treatment system. ”
"Because the whole environment of Berlin is very good and the rainwater is clean, some of the rainwater quality that flows down has reached the standard after pre-filtration, and can directly enter the rainwater circulation system, if the water quality is not up to standard, it will automatically enter the rainwater treatment system, and then enter the rainwater circulation system after treatment. ”
Listening to Robin's detailed explanation, Captain Xia Yuxiang understood and nodded in praise.
"It is said that Germans are very rigorous and serious, meticulous in their work, I do see the excellent qualities of Germans in you, thank you for your explanation, you heard very clearly!"
Robin smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Captain Xia, I will continue to work hard!"
"Hahaha......" everyone smiled comfortably.
