Chapter 34 Museums
"Jonas, Mr. Cottbus, the chairman of the Cottbus firm, is here."
In the large study on the second floor, Zhou Nan raised his head from a large pile of materials, hysterically for a moment, and then came to his senses and said to Rotentum: "Oh, I'll go over immediately, you call the mayor of Entlebuch, and by the way, inform the staff of the Lucerne City Hall." ”
The second floor of the main house is almost all the world of Zhou Nan and Audrey, with an area of nearly 300 square meters, and his study is more than 50 square meters.
And it has been carefully furnished and decorated, and the environment is very elegant. Outside the windowsill is a strange-shaped cherry tree, which does not block the sunlight, but dedicates a refreshing beauty.
Therefore, Zhou Nan rarely goes to the office to work now, reads, checks information, and writes manuscripts, and he likes to stay in his study.
After a brief packing of materials, Zhou Nan came to the connected small study, which was Audrey's study, and she now handled the home learning mode, that is, she did not go to school, but took the school's unified exam as usual.
Although she doesn't have to go to school, she has to work harder than the average student. Not only do you have to learn things from school, but you also have to receive various language training, physical training, and performance training.
Every day, her time is arranged, and even going out in the morning to walk the dog is a luxury.
However, this kind of enrichment did not make her feel bored, on the contrary, she liked it very much, because she didn't have to leave Zhou Nan's side, she could stay in the beautiful farm, and she could also enjoy the edification of knowledge.
She can eat snacks if she wants to, and when she is tired, she can rest for a while, and when she is bored with studying, she can change to study.
Except for a few professional teachers, Zhou Nan will not put too much pressure on her, everything depends on her consciousness and inertia.
In the small study, she was frowning as her math teacher told her a math problem. This happened to be Zhou Nan's shortcoming, he was afraid that Audrey would ask him for help again, so he didn't disturb her study and quietly closed the door.
It's April, and although the trees have not yet produced new leaves, the grass planted in the pasture has begun to grow vigorously. On the hillside of the main house, dots of white flowers are dotted among the green grass, showing the breath of spring.
Two strange cars were parked in front of the Sennar villa, and Zhou Nan was walking while thinking that there were quite a few people coming from the Cartbus office today.
However, this project is not a few simple houses on the farm, but two museums and a tourist street, which can be regarded as a big project, and they should pay attention to it.
Since revealing to Entlerbuch that he wants to build two museums, this old man has always been in his heart, constantly urging Zhou Nan to start construction as soon as possible.
Don't worry about funds, the relationship between Zhou Nan and the bank has always been very good, and he has taken out several loans but the repayment is smooth, so even if he wants to take out another loan, it is very simple.
Of course, this is mainly due to Zhou Nan's trustworthy repayment ability.
Since the bank supported him and didn't even need to use his own money, Zhou Nan naturally went with the flow and agreed to put the construction of the museum on the agenda.
The two museums, including the tourist street, are built and operated by Zhou Nan on their own, but both Lucerne and Wegis will have a share.
Even if Zhou Nan spent money to buy the land for construction, Zhou Nan didn't want to spend too much effort on the operation of this museum, so he still had to give up part of the management right.
In this case, Entlebuch really wanted to involve the town of Weggis directly, so Zhou Nan of course agreed.
With his current status and reputation, he must not do such a thing as eating alone, and even in many cases, he has to pull more people to share the food together.
For example, if Nord intends to take out hundreds of collections and participate in the operation of Western museums, Zhou Nan of course agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Nan has asked Storko's eldest son, Kelvin, to help him register a private foundation, and the operation of these two museums and tourist streets will be placed under the name of the foundation in the future.
The Lucerne canton government and the town of Weggis will have the right to operate the museum, but will not own it, and the profits from the two museums and tourist streets will belong to the family funds of the Zhounan and Jean Nord families.
Although Zhou Nan has not yet understood many of the famous halls here, he also knows that from now on, Zhou Nan does not even have children now, but his children in the future will not be short of money to spend.
Under the name of this foundation, there are a lot of current assets, but most of them are antiques in the names of Zhou Nan and Jean Nord, and the scale of funds is not very large, and they are even heavily indebted because of the construction of two museums.
Since Kelvin is very interested in this foundation, Zhou Nan will temporarily let him set up and manage it, if he can manage it well, Zhou Nan doesn't mind letting him continue to manage it.
Because of Storko's relationship, Zhou Nan still trusts him.
Soon after meeting Cottbus, the old man Entlebuch came running in high spirits. Everyone left the office and prepared to go to the scene to observe, they are not professionals, and many plans, only on the spot, can be associated with the future.
The two museums and tourist streets are planned on the hillside north of Zhou Nan's home, which will run parallel to the current conference center, completely enclosing Zhou Nan's home from east to west.
In Zhou Nan's plan, the Oriental Museum was of course to be built in the style of the East, and the Western Museum should be built in the style of the West. Between the two museums, an amusement center will be built, connected by a main street.
This street will be dominated by souvenirs and food. Because of the successful snack street experience in the first two months, Zhou Nan is not afraid that there will be no business here in the future.
However, the plan was in a predicament from the beginning, because Coatbus Architects had no experience in the design of oriental architecture, and the planning of the tourist street was all biased towards the western style, which was also something that Zhou Nan did not want to see.
Although Zhou Nan didn't know what kind of street he wanted, he hoped to build a street that could highlight the collision of different cultures between the East and the West.
Kortebus felt a little helpless about the oriental style requested by Zhou Nan, but now that Zhou Nan is the boss, they can only obey Zhou Nan's request.
What's more, in his heart, he also believes that the construction of a street with both Eastern and Western styles here will also help promote the development of tourism here.
Therefore, the first day of the meeting did not determine too many things, and the people of Cartbus only measured the topographic map of this place in detail, and will conduct a detailed analysis of the geology here in the future.
Before leaving, Zhou Nan said to Coatbus: "Although I still intend to hand over all the designs here to Cartbus Firm, I hope that you can go to the East to find two designers from the East to join." I remember a couple in my home country who were not only visiting professors of architecture at Yale University, but also invited to participate in the design of the new United Nations headquarters. It's just that now they are in their homeland, and there is still a civil war there, so it is not too easy to find them. ”
As an architectural designer, Otbus knew who Zhou Nan was talking about as soon as he heard it, and he nodded and said: "Liang and Lin are indeed architects that I admire very much, and I will immediately contact them through various channels, hoping that they can join in smoothly." ”
Zhou Nan laughed when he saw him so knowledgeable. "If they can get involved, I think I'll still give you the design this time."
Liang and Lin are both big celebrities, and they are also one of the few world-class architects in their country, and Cartbus should have his own channels as long as he wants to contact them.
In this era, Zhou Nan has seen too many celebrities, but most of them are foreigners, and he has not had much contact with some world-class celebrities among his compatriots.
He also wants to meet more compatriots as soon as possible through various means, only in this way will he not feel that he is alone in this world.
Ketbus and they left in a hurry, but Entlebuch did not let Zhou Nan go, and pulled him north for a while. "Jonas, you proposed a golf course here, and the terrain is very suitable for a course, but there is one problem that is difficult to solve, and that is water pollution. It is a peninsula bordered by water on three sides, the northern terrain is high, and the golf course is a large water user, so there is nowhere to drain wastewater. While many companies were interested in building a golf course here, they were deterred when they heard that they were going to build an additional sewage treatment plant. ”
Zhou Nan only had this idea by chance that day, and he also knew that it was expensive to invest in a golf course, but he did not know that the golf course would be a large water user and there would be water pollution.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What if the town of Weggis also invested part of it in the construction of the sewage treatment plant?" Weggis now has only 3,000 people, but with the museum and the convention center, there will be more and more people here, and we will need a bigger sewage treatment plant. ”
He smiled and said, "So I need your help, as long as you come forward, I think this bill can easily pass in the state legislature." As long as the state legislature is willing to allocate some of the money, we raise some of it ourselves, and investors bear some of it, and this sewage treatment plant is no longer a dream. ”
Zhou Nan smiled and shook his head, but he did not refuse Entlerbuhe's suggestion. After all, with a large sewage treatment plant, the shackles of development have been removed for the small town of Weggis. It is backed by Mount Rigi and surrounded by water on three sides, mainly because of the domestic sewage discharge that restricts the development here. With this sewage treatment plant, two or three thousand more residents will be added here without a burden on the environment.
"No problem, you can apply to the state legislature, and I will help you convince the members of the state legislature."
Zhou Nan didn't take this matter to heart, his greater interest was on the future museum, should he design a cool outline map, so that these two museums are easier for everyone to remember!
(You can give some suggestions on what the two museums will look like and what the streets will look like.) Another: The monthly pass is over 1,000 votes, Lin Yayidong has become a grandmaster, plus yesterday's arrears, and now I owe everyone three more, I will make up for it as soon as possible. )
