Chapter 451 Crowdfunding... not right, casting a bell
During this period of time, the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower renovation project team was completely overwhelmed.

After Gu Xiaobai's design drawings were exposed, all kinds of spearheads on the Internet pointed at the project team, and also ridiculed Dongcheng along the way.

All of a sudden, public opinion was raging.

This kind of thing gave Wang Lianfang, the mayor of Dongcheng City, a headache.

The Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower project is a project he has been working hard to promote. He has a deep relationship and history with the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower. He really does not want this project, because this kind of thing has been destroyed by public opinion, or died prematurely.

He had no choice but to call the desk of Wu Quandong, the president of Dongyuan University.

After picking up the phone, Wu Quandong complained: "Old Wang, what are you doing in this project team! If I had known this would happen, I would never have introduced Xiaobai to you!"

He obviously introduced the most capable and outstanding acoustic talent on his side, but he was made into this appearance, Wu Quandong was heartbroken.

My Xiaobai, it's too late to protect him!You guys are still doing this to him!
Wang Lianfang is also at a loss. It is normal for projects to come and go. If they fail the review once, then they will be revised and re-reviewed. After submitting two or three times, Party A and Party B are constantly balancing supply and demand. Isn’t this normal?

How did such a big news come out?Wang Lianfang was also furious.

"It was only later that I found out that a certain expert who participated in the review had a problem with Xiaobai, and failed to guarantee the fairness and justice of the review. This is our problem..." Wang Lianfang sighed, "But... the project itself is Innocent..."

But how did things get so hot?

"Now our work here is almost impossible to carry out, can you let Xiaobai come out and say something?"

Wu Quandong felt a little upset when he heard this sentence.

You are innocent, my Xiaobai already has an aunt?The third aunt or the sixth aunt?
"Your work can't be carried out, so we can do it? Have you ever thought that Xiaobai's first project was made by you, and you made such a big mess. Who would dare to find Xiaobai to do projects in the future? We Xiaobai Is it supposed to be a big powder keg? Now that something goes wrong, let us Xiaobai take the blame?"

"This... I know it's a bit too much, but it's also for the sake of the overall situation..."

"Oh, take care of the overall situation? Your broken bell and drum tower is the overall situation. The reputation of a rising young scholar in our Dongyuan University, the reputation of a key training laboratory is not the overall situation? Sorry, I can't pass this on, please Be wise." Wu Quandong was even more upset, and he hung up the phone with a snap.

Wu Quandong is not such a fierce and agitated person on weekdays, but this incident really made Wu Quandong very angry.

There are eighty bell towers in the world, if not one hundred, which city does not have a bell tower?

The Bell and Drum Tower in your Dongcheng is important, but the genius that we have rarely seen in Dongyuan University for decades is not important?Isn't it important for a powerful profession that has just taken shape?
Sorry, we don't take the pot.

Bear the bitter fruit that you brewed yourself.

Wang Lianfang didn't call again. In the afternoon, the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower project team issued an apology.

"Because the staff review was not strict, some of the review experts hired by the project team made unprofessional, unobjective, and irresponsible comments. The reputation has been greatly damaged, the project team hereby apologizes, the project team will restart the project review process within one month, and review the plan again..."

This announcement is actually quite predictable, and the above is short of directly saying: "This scorpion was made by some scum in the academic circle. Our project team will not take the blame! Everyone, please scold him!"

In fact, they should have done this long ago, but they didn't expect that the public opinion came too fast and too violent, and the reaction was half a beat slow.

After the announcement was sent out, Wang Lianfang called Wu Quandong again, with a pitiful look: "Old Wu, do you think this is okay?"

Wu Quandong sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll give Xiaobai a call."

The day after the project team issued an apology announcement, Baisheng Institute also issued an announcement.

"Baisheng Institute respects the needs of the project team and expert review, and also cherishes this cooperation opportunity very much. We have conducted friendly consultations and in-depth exchanges with the project team, and have submitted plan B to the project team..."

Below, a sketch of Plan B was released.

A bell decorated with inscriptions praising the outstanding people in Dongcheng, a few ordinary drums...

Unpretentious, well-regulated and boring.

In fact, if Gu Xiaobai came up with this plan at the beginning, no one would say anything.

But now that everyone has seen the plan for "The Harmony of Bells and Drums", let's come back to this...

My pants are all off, you want me to watch this?
I bother!

I don't do it!I want the zither of bells and drums!
Not to mention passers-by and netizens, even the people in the project team felt a little uncomfortable seeing this design plan that fully met their expectations.

If the risk of plan A can be less, if the investment of plan A can be less, if...

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

There is a lot of mourning on the Internet. Could it be that the "Qin of Bells and Drums", a masterpiece of the world, is still aborted?
Pity……

What a pity……

"Crowdfunding!"

"Yes, crowdfunding to send... No, casting bells!"

"We want the harp of bells and drums!"

"Make it yourself and play!"

"Such an interesting thing, how can it be done without making it!"

A huge "Save the Bell and Drum" campaign was launched on the Internet, and many fans called for Gu Xiaobai to engage in crowdfunding...

But there are still many people who pour cold water on it.

"Crowdfunding? This is not a matter of millions, or even tens of millions, this thing is worth hundreds of millions! Crowdfunding has been going on for a long time! You pay for it?"

"Do you really think this thing can be made? It's just a prop that Gu Xiaobai used to attract fans. If this kind of thing can really be made, I will live broadcast it..."

Amid such hustle and bustle, a crowdfunding project called "The Music of Bells and Drums" was quietly launched on JD.com and Taobao crowdfunding.

On Jingdong Crowdfunding, it is a return-type crowdfunding. The crowdfunding price is 5000 million, which is divided into several different files. Qin miniature model, bell and drum qin playing experience voucher...

On Taobao Crowdfunding, it is a donation-type crowdfunding. The crowdfunding price is 3000 million, and the donation amount varies. All donations will be used to make bells and drums, as well as follow-up maintenance costs...

In fact, Gu Xiaobai didn't expect to raise much money through crowdfunding, and he has already found other ways.

But he really wanted to take out the qin of bells and drums, and he couldn't make it out of thin air, so crowdfunding was also a way to deceive people.

Sister Shan, as Gu Xiaobai's spokesperson, came forward to announce the news.

At the same time, Gu Xiaobai had already started contacting domestic mechanical design manufacturers for preliminary mechanical design and manufacturing.

With Fu Wenyao's help, they initially settled on a mechanical design and manufacturing company under the Dening Group.

But now, Gu Xiaobai has one more thing to worry about.

Neither the Spring and Autumn Period nor the Western Han Dynasty had the technical reserves and environment for casting super-large round bronze bells, nor did they have such manpower and material resources.

What about the twelve prototype bronze bells cast as bass instruments in the Chime of Bells and Drums?
On this day, Gu Xiaobai closed his eyes after a busy day's work, went to the memory palace, and saw a sparkling CD floating there.

"Do you want to start the trial of "Farewell Fu"?"
