In the evening of the third day, when the afterglow of the sunset fell on the big tree at the entrance of the old town for the umpteenth time, it was another long journey of the wanderer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old couple watched Jue Tong and Banxia go away, and only turned around after a long time.

After returning to the capital, it is obvious that everyone's mental state seems to have undergone a transformation.

After returning from Banwan Village, they sent replies to each of the ten families for Ms. Xia's family, the old captain's family, and the brothers of Keke Sicily.

This is a baptism, which unconsciously affects everyone's long-term design path and benefits everyone a lot.

On this day, it was the assembly and mobilization party of the construction team of the Barcelona China Pavilion, and Bai Jingtong brought Masayuki Kurokawa and Su Mu to participate.

"Designer Bai, after your request, we finally selected the Beijing Construction Engineering Group."

Prior to this, when they returned to Banwan Village, Masayuki Kurokawa was sent by the Eiki to participate in the selection of the construction company by the organizing committee, and now Masayuki Kurokawa whispered in the ear of the Eiki.

"This is a very large-scale construction company in China, and its qualifications in ancient buildings are very profound..."

The three of them were all wearing formal clothes, with meticulous suits and ties, and Eiki walked in the middle, while Masayuki Kurokawa and Su Mu followed left and right.

"I see, I've worked hard for you this time, Masayuki."

In front of the door of the large conference room, they stopped, only to see Akiri's hand patting Kurokawa Masayuki on the shoulder and softly thanking him.

"No, I've benefited a lot from following you."

Kurokawa Masayuki was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face was serious, and he bowed seriously to Jutong and said in a deep voice.

Jutong nodded, and then gently pushed open the door of the conference room.

The meeting room was very large, and a cursory glance at it was estimated that there were already hundreds of people seated, including leaders and construction workers who were about to fly to Barcelona with the plane.

"Designer Bai, you're here!"

In front of the chairs in the conference room was a long table with about seven or eight seats, and Minister Chen of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, who was sitting in the middle, saw Bai Juetong who had just entered the door at a glance, his face was ruddy and smiling, and he waved his hand again and again.

A staff member approached and brought Suki and Masayuki Kurokawa back to their seats, which were in the first row in front of the long table.

Jue Tong walked towards Minister Chen, and there were table signs on the long table.

"Minister Chen, President Xue..."

Minister Chen had Xue Lao on one side, and the seat on the other side was empty, and Jue Tong saw his name on the table sign and knew that this was his seat.

"Designer Bai, Mr. Jiang attaches great importance to our expo this time, and he likes and looks forward to your plan very much."

Minister Chen held Bai Jingtong's hand, and his voice was very loud: "The chief said, this is the first time that our country has a real national pavilion, and I hope we can play the first shot of a cultural and artistic power!" ”

"Our country has a long history and a long cultural heritage, but there is no reason why it has always been pressed by Western countries."

Although the assembly and mobilization party had not yet begun, no one in the conference room spoke at this time, and they all watched the movement in front of them.

Hearing Minister Chen's words, the organizing committee, government leaders and leaders of China Construction Group next to Mr. Xue and Minister Chen immediately raised the importance of the China Pavilion of the Expo to a new level.

Minister Chen's head is obviously no one else except for that one, this is the big bosses are paying attention to the Chinese Pavilion of this Barcelona Expo.

"Jue Tong will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Bai Jingtong showed his thoughts, but there was no pause in his mouth, and he immediately answered.

The other people shook hands one by one and exchanged a few words, and then Jue Tong sat down in the position marked with his name.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in four months' time, on May 1, the Barcelona 2002 fair will be opened."

As the meeting officially began, Minister Chen's voice sounded through the microphone in the conference room: "The China Pavilion will also open on the same day. ”

"As we all know, the design of the national pavilion of each country is the top priority of the exhibition and the first impression of the country's façade."

Minister Chen spoke, his words paused slightly, and then he said in a deep voice with a serious face: "As for the national pavilion of our country in previous years, everyone knows that it is really difficult to say that it is difficult to hear. ”

"On the one hand, many domestic designers are inheriting Western design concepts, but on the other hand, as a national pavilion in China, we must require it to show China's cultural and artistic outlook."

"This has created a very embarrassing situation, and I know that there are a lot of people behind the scenes who are laughing at our national pavilion."

The words were a little heavy, and the faces of hundreds of people in the conference room were tense.

Jue Tong sat next to Minister Chen, no matter what was going on in his head, in short, his expression and movements were very in place, his body was straight, and his face was serious, which was exactly what a generation of elites was.

Minister Chen continued: "Some people say that our national pavilion is to paint a dragon and a phoenix on the wall, and at most we will set up an archway. ”

"Some people also say that when the World Expo is launched around the world, our country's citizens who travel and work abroad are often embarrassed to visit our own country's national pavilion!"

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.

Minister Chen's eyes swept over the people in front of the stage as if they were substance, and at this moment, he only heard his words rise up, and his words turned sharply:

"Our national pavilion this time is different, it is designed by the most high-profile young designer in the world, Designer Bai, next to me."

"Designer Bai has extracted the concept, aesthetics and ideas of 'Zen' in the ancient Chinese culture, and expressed the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River with modern expressions!"

The eyes of the audience immediately looked at Bai Juetong's body, and their faces showed surprise and admiration.

"The theme of this year's fair in Barcelona is World Art."

Minister Chen's solemn face finally softened a little, revealing strong anticipation, and he said loudly: "I believe that this is the best time to show the world the charm of ancient Chinese art!" ”

"The whole world will be fascinated and amazed by our time-honored culture!"

"Our citizens outside or not outside will be proud of our civilization!"

The voice resounded in the conference room, and everyone in the audience applauded and smiled.

"Listen to me."

Minister Chen stretched out his hand to press the audience, and said with a smile: "As I said at the beginning, we President Jiang attach great importance to this expo. ”

"After the completion of the China Pavilion, on the opening day of the China Pavilion, President Jiang personally thanked every member of us who worked hard for it through video, and at the same time extended a welcome speech to the world!"

The applause rang out again.

"Designer Bai, why don't you come and tell us a few words?"

Minister Chen nodded, pointed the microphone at Bai Jingtong, and said with a smile.

He leaned over the microphone gently, his black and white eyes fell on everyone, followed by a crisp voice:

"Thank you very much for your expectations of me, I feel very scared, I can only do my best..."

"I believe that this World Expo will be a new beginning and an important opportunity to showcase our culture to the world's architecture and art forest..."

"Let's look forward to..."

Official reporters in the conference room kept taking pictures.

In the People's Daily that night, there was a large page to report on the assembly and mobilization of the construction team of the China Pavilion, which attracted the attention of many people.

On the second day, a special plane flew to Barcelona carrying the team sent by the construction group, the members of the organizing committee of the China Pavilion and Bai Jingtong.
