Xue Guohua saw Xu Hongbo introduce to Zhang Ke the research work they had done on the late Qing Dynasty buildings of the Republic of China in Shatin for more than half a year, he looked at Zhang Ke in surprise, and asked Xu Hongbo sideways: "This is the financier who has never been willing to show up?" ”

"I don't know if he is the owner of the fund, I don't know," Xu Hongbo said with a smile, "These census work is indeed entrusted by him, and you have been complaining that I have given you too little money, whether you want to add it or compensate for it, you can go directly to him now." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Ke nodded and smiled at Xue Guohua, and said: "During this time, Xue Lao has worked hard, and some time ago, the company's funds were also very tight, so the funds that can be allocated are limited, and they will be more relaxed in the future." ”

Complaining that the funds are too small, it is just a joke with Xu Hongbo, the census of the Sha Tin building complex should have been invested by the government, Xue Guohua has been fighting for funds all these years, but there is a shortage of money everywhere in the city, and at this time, he is eager to demolish all the Sha Tin and sell the land for money, where will additional funds be allocated for this matter.

Zhang Ke allocated a total of 300,000 yuan through Xu Hongbo, although it was less, but it could do the census work.

Xue Guohua looked Zhang Ke up and down seriously: "It's hard to talk about, the ancient construction institute can't always be unprofessional, this period of work makes everyone think that the ancient construction institute still has some meaning of existence, but I have always been curious, who will have the heart to do census work at this time?" ”

There are a total of 12,300 buildings in the eastern area of Sha Tin, where more than 3,000 families live, and many complete houses are for three or four families, who will use brick walls to separate the whole house, and then open their own exits on the original courtyard wall; In the mid-90s, the problem of urban housing has not been well solved, especially like Zhang Ke's parents' generation, there are more brothers and sisters, due to the lack of housing, it is not easy to separate and self-reliant, many families are three or four generations in the same house, in order to live more people, the pavilions and pavilions in the old house are almost demolished, replaced by simple houses in the courtyard.

The census that Xue Guohua said was to find out the current situation of these buildings, and to draw up the structural drawings of the buildings with preservation value in as much detail as possible, and the workload was very large, and it was very remarkable that one-third of the census work could be completed in less than a year.

Zhang Ke provided a small amount of funding through Xu Hongbo, and Xue Guohua invited teachers and students from the School of Architecture of Haizhou University to participate.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "We are a Hong Kong company, and we think that it is a good thing that the buildings in Sha Tin may be preserved in their entirety, and we think that we must find out this complex before entrusting you to do some census work......

Xue Guohua listened to Zhang Ke's words, immediately got up from his seat, and said to Xu Hongbo: "Your drawings are still in place?" Seeing Xu Hongbo nodding, he didn't say hello, and hurriedly ran out.

Xu Hongbo smiled at Zhang Ke and said: "Xue Lao is a person who has devoted his life to the protection of the Sha Tin building complex, at present, the few protected buildings in Sha Tin, each of which is Xue Lao staring at people, the ancient building is a subordinate unit of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau has also set up a demolition company, there are many controversial buildings in the west of Sha Tin, and the demolition company under the Cultural Relics Bureau has no scruples and soft-heartedness, for this matter, Xue Lao pointed to the nose of the bureau leader of the Cultural Relics Bureau and scolded, in short, for the Sha Tin Building Complex is to demolish or stay on the issue, Xue Lao and the officials and uncles of the Cultural Relics Bureau have fallen out, but Xue Lao and others have great prestige in the industry, and the guys from the Cultural Relics Bureau have been trying to kick him away, but they can't succeed. ”

Zhang Ke shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said: "The official of the Cultural Relics Bureau, if other families want to demolish Sha Tin, if they want to have a little bit of professional ethics, they should try their best to stop it," The Cultural Relics Bureau engaged in the demolition company, Zhang Ke knows better than anyone else, not only the controversial building, but also the bastard thing of the demolition company that openly demolished the municipal cultural relics protection unit for the sake of interests, although it is not clear whether such a bastard thing will happen again, but it is necessary to prevent it from happening," Sha Tin East should be preserved, After all, we have to adjust the officials of the Cultural Relics Bureau first, but they are the only institutions that can support them administratively......

"Have you communicated with Tang Xueqian?" Xu Hongbo asked.

Zhang Ke shook his head and said, "I've been busy with other things, and when I heard that someone wanted to move the land in the east of Sha Tin, I remembered that I also had to do some substantive work here......

Xu Hongbo is a person who sees through the world, many things, no need to speak, from the details to know all, Zhang Ke provided funds, initially remitted from the account of Haizhou Yuexiu Company, and when Xu Si went to Hong Kong, it was transferred directly to the Hong Kong company.

Xu Hongbo nodded, didn't ask Zhang Ke what else he was busy with, and said, "It's to do some substantive work......

Chen Feirong followed behind Xue Guohua and helped him come in with a lot of drawings, she saw Zhang Ke and Xu Hongbo sitting in front of the chessboard, a little stunned, remembering that Zhang Ke hadn't come to play chess with Xu Hongbo for several days.

Xu Hongbo said to Xue Guohua: "There is no need to take out all the drawings, how much can you read at once?" ”

"I only picked a few!" Xue Guohua raised his eyebrows a little gray, and regardless of the fact that the chess pieces were not found in the chess box, he piled up the drawings on the chess table, took out a copy casually, spread it out to Zhang Ke, and said excitedly: "Look at it, what a beautiful building, it would be a pity if they were all demolished......"

It is not a formal blueprint, but a large-scale sketch that directly outlines the main structure of the building, which is beautiful.

Xu Hongbo said: "These are the original appearance of the buildings after the restoration of the imagination, and it takes a lot of effort to restore the buildings that have been destroyed in the real structure to this way, and it takes a lot of effort for each one, not to mention so many buildings?" ”

Xue Guohua glared at Xu Hongbo and said, "Which position are you standing on and speaking?" ”

Xu Hongbo smiled and said, "I'm just speaking realistically." The chess table was full of drawings, Chen Feirong held the drawings in her arms and didn't know where to put them, Xu Hongbo called someone to bring a chess table and put them together, so that Chen Feirong put down the drawings.

Chen Feirong thought that Zhang Ke was here to play chess with Xu Hongbo, but she didn't expect Xue Guohua to show him the drawings, and she was very surprised. Zhang Ke smiled at her, she didn't know how to respond in surprise, but the expression on her face was even more cold. Zhang Ke thought that she still had a consistent misunderstanding of herself, but she didn't care too much, took the drawings in the hands of the old man Xue Guohua, and looked at it seriously.

Chen Feirong put down the drawings, saw that everyone else in the chess courtyard was far away, and knew that she shouldn't stand there, so she looked at Zhang Ke twice in surprise, and returned to the side hall to continue to review her homework, but she couldn't understand in her heart: Why did Xu Hongbo show Zhang Ke the drawings he had worked so hard to collect?

Zhang Ke looked at a few pictures and said to Xu Hongbo: "This matter, my father and I are both laymen, Mr. Xu, can you go with Xue Lao to meet Uncle Tang and report on the work you have done so far......"

Xue Guohua didn't know who the "Uncle Tang" in Zhang Ke's mouth was, so he glanced at Xu Hongbo inquiringly.

Xu Hongbo explained: "Tang Xueqian, his father is Zhang Zhixing......" He ignored the shock in Xue Guohua's eyes, turned his head and asked Zhang Ke, "It's okay to report our current work to Tang Xueqian, but Tang Xueqian asked us what we are going to do next, how should we answer?" ”

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "This is the question you asked Uncle Tang, why do you want me to answer it?" ”

Xu Hongbo said with a smile: "You have to take the lead in doing this, at this time, there is no way to play tricks, the city has long had a unanimous opinion on the demolition of the entire Sha Tin, Tang Xueqian wants to turn the tide, and we have to make excuses for him." ”

Zhang Ke said: "Uncle Tang's mind is also wavering now, Mr. Xu will first pull Uncle Tang into our camp and then talk about the future, what can I do......" Zhang Ke thought for a while and asked Xue Guohua, "Old Xue, is there a building in Danjing Lane that is worth repairing and protecting?" ”

"Yes, how could it not? The entire alley of Danjing Lane is worthy of repairing in its original appearance...... Xue Guohua found a few from the drawings and handed them to Zhang Ke, "Look at this, the main building, the family building, the hollow-shaped corridor, and the courtyard stage are typical three-entry Qing Dynasty Ye Hui old hall buildings...... There is also this one, which was the earliest chess hall in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is a typical guild hall building......"

Zhang Ke picked up the restoration map of the chess hall building and asked Xue Guohua: "How much money does this courtyard need to restore to its original appearance?" ”

"It will cost ......about 1.7 million or 800,000 yuan," Xue Guohua said with some uncertainty, not because he was not sure about the cost of repair, but because he was not sure about Zhang Ke's intention to ask this.

The three-storey square brick and wood guild hall building, with a construction area of only 800 square meters marked next to the drawings, will probably not cost one million to demolish and rebuild a western-style building with a similar structure and a considerable area, but it will cost two or three times more to repair and restore the original appearance, plus the money for the acquisition of the old building. The repair of cultural relics is really a money-consuming thing, is it necessary for the city to avoid this matter, Zhang Ke's previous estimate is still small.
