Chapter 389 Chaos

"Renovation of Hengbo Port?" Ye Tao frowned and asked in disbelief.

Before Mr. Qi arrived at Hengbo Port, the deacon meeting could not be held, but Mr. Liu Yi had already arrived. Liu Yi's son Liu Qing was already an important member of the Northern Xinjiang Administration. According to the rank of the Dongping court, it was about a third-rank or fourth-rank upward position. Liu Yi was not worried about the business of the Liu family at all. Instead, he worked diligently to the large housekeeper of the entire Nanyang area, responsible for all planning and construction business. Ye Tao was shocked when he heard the design request for the transformation of Hengbo Port from Liu Yi.

"Hengbo Port is such a new city, and it is going to be renovated now? How wasteful it is." Ye Tao said stutteringly.

Liu Yi sighed: "When we first came here, it was at most a town. Even in the busy season, there were only tens of thousands of people. All Qihai Trading Club needed was a cargo stack and a place to replenish drinking water and food, which means that the port was opened, and a little shed was added to the edge of the port area. Later, the business became bigger and bigger, and the port area became larger and the surrounding buildings gradually increased. The original buildings were knocked down again and again.

Build a new one, but later, I felt that this was not possible. Any buildings in my Qihai Trading Company could be relocated for the purpose of relocating, and those that could be relocated for relocating... Now, although Hengbo Port is a city's size, the foundation was not laid at the beginning. How can the roads and homes be described as chaotic? Many indigenous tribes in Nanyang have no good habits for living, and it is a trivial matter to urinate anywhere. What if a plague occurs? But if you don't urinate anywhere, what can you do?

Like? In addition to private residences, Hengbo’s public health facilities are equivalent to none... This tropical city does not need to deliberately store water, and has never lacked fresh water. However, it rains, especially in the past summer storm season, the whole city seems to be soaked in mud. The high terrain is fine, and the terrain is relatively low, especially those slums and the barracks of the indigenous army. Not to mention how miserable it is. There is no crisscrossing main roads in this entire Hengbo Port.

When you encounter loading and unloading at the port, even if you don’t encounter the army in the city, the whole city will be in a mess, and the roads are filled with horses, ox carts, rickshaws... and horses and ox urination. You don’t know what the scene is. Now you are still small and can still be changed. After a few years, more than ten years, it will be a big problem to renovate it again. I thought, it would be better to make trouble now, and expand the city step by step in the future. This is the solution.”

Ye Tao nodded and said, "It's reasonable. I haven't walked around Hengbo Port these days, but I haven't noticed these things. I only look at Hengbo Port and the surrounding villages. The town's organization is very good. It should be your work, Mr. Liu, right?"

Ye Tao's compliment made Liu Yi laugh and said, "These things are not difficult. There are not many people in a village. There are many people in the indigenous army and local villages who are related to the people in the local villages. They help the villagers build houses and pay half of them. The refugees who don't have a house are willing to sign a tax agreement document, build houses and grant land, and then pay back with annual rent and labor... These villages and towns are not expensive, but the effect is not bad. I said, Ye Jingluo, do you think Hengbo Port can make a little trouble? I dare not expect Hengbo Port to be comparable to Gondor, Shufengcheng, and Tiecheng, but at least it must be a little like a little, right? The matter of demolishing the east and the west walls has been repaired by this smelly city. If you can make the city look anew, it depends on your work."

Liu Yi spoke sincerely, Ye Tao listened seriously. He thought for a while and asked, "So, Mr. Liu, how much can this matter be spent? Mr. Liu, don't talk about Gondor. He has enough budget and enough time. Hengbo Port may not be a pearl of Nanyang. You don't have to take Gondor seriously at all. Gondor uses the mountains to make his might, but Hengbo Port is another flavor. Looking at the situation around Hengbo Port, as well as the currents and climates of the harbors, this place is really a good place. Also, Mr. Liu, renovating Hengbo, may have been delayed for a long time, what should I do if the business affected? Hengbo Port is a Qihai Trading Company, and Dongping builds Nanyang, integrating the Middle East and Western countries. Even if it cannot be closed for one or two years, right? ... In addition, Mr. Liu, you should also have a statement in your heart, how to change the Hengbo method."

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "This...this...I really haven't thought about it in detail. I was busy renovating the city walls of Hengbo's current periphery. If you come to Nanyang, you don't say hello in advance. I'm not prepared at all."

Ye Tao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm very familiar with the various projects in the city. I will list them one by one. Mr. Liu, please see what you need and what you don't need, and then we will discuss it again. It depends on how many changes you need to do and how quickly you have to complete it before you can estimate the cost."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Isn't this ordering dishes... I come one by one, and if there are too many dishes, it will naturally take a long time to use them and the cost will be large."

Ye Tao nodded and replied, "This is true."

Ye Tao calmly listed a series of projects on paper, and some projects also gave several options. For example, the city tower and the heshou tower use stone and steel, wood and cement, and the prices are very different. The cost of using stone is more than five times higher. For example, the price difference between the passages in the city uses cement pavement and asphalt pavement, but the durability maintenance of the pavement makes people scratch their heads... Ye Tao listed them one by one, which really tasted like a menu. But after the entire "menu" was written, Ye Tao followed

The relationship between these contents draws a correlation map, which is a technical tree system for urban construction... However, in this technical tree system, many projects can be directly upgraded to the top level, and the transition projects in the middle are ignored. They have participated in the planning and construction of so many cities. Now, for urban construction and reconstruction, it can be said that no one in the world is more professional and comprehensive than Ye Tao. Liu Yi imagined what the scene would be if Hengbo Port was built according to the highest standards.

Liu Yi took the menu and went back to study with the old guys, but Ye Tao was attracted by Liu Yi and began to conduct field investigations and surveys of geographical data on Hengbo Port. Qihai Trading Company did a meticulous job in Nanyang. Various data in the entire Hengbo Port should be available. The materials of the terrain and terrain are very detailed, and the records of large-scale expansion and renovation are also complete. The data may not be intuitive. Ye Tao and Tan Weixin spent a day in Hengbo Port, but they felt it very profound. The port area of ​​Hengbo Port is Yazhou General

The areas where the Governor's Office and Qihai Commercial Society are located are good, both in terms of construction and management, and although the roads are mostly gravel and cement flattened, and the sewers are only covered with pore cement boards on open ditches, at least the roads are relatively neat. If you ignore the shortcomings that the entire city cannot be exempted, those areas look similar to Yicheng and Danyang. In terms of order and tidyness, they are even better than cities like Ningyuan and Suiyuan.

However, when Ye Tao and Tan Weixin embraced their usual love for the city neighbors and their passion for market trade, they stepped into the market where the most small vendors and bustling crowds gathered, they felt that they were in another world. There were only two markets in Hengbo Port, one located in the port area, which carried out bulk trade and relatively expensive, high-end goods and manpower transactions. On a short street less than 800 steps, there were two restaurants, a professional auction house, the offices of two accounting banks, PwC and Deloitte, a transaction contract appraisal, and a tavern that was actually regarded as a talent center. This short road tasted like the central business district of Hengbo Port.

However, the market that allowed ordinary people and small vendors to conduct various transactions was deterred by Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. The entire market was actually a whole open space between several blocks. A two-story building was set up in the middle for the registration of vendors and small tax payments. This place also handled disputes in the transaction. But other parts of the open space were flat land, and the vendors freely set up tents for sale. The particular ones were not very particular, just a few pieces of wood or bamboo, or just a piece of broken cloth. There were also many small vendors, countless small vendors set up stalls in the open air, without any fixed positions at all.

Many small vendors live in markets. At night, they roll the stalls and go to bed and go to bed. Eat, drink, defecation and sensation are all here. And in the bustling crowds, many people are very unethical. When they encounter an intimidation, they just find a corner that no one pays attention to. There is no fixed road here at all. Usually, today is still a road, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will be occupied by small vendors. Sometimes, one or several merchants lose their business due to failure or gambling, and they remove the shop, and a new road appears... This place cannot be described at all. If you can barely describe it, there is only one very modern word: chaos...
