Rebirth of England

Chapter 87 Urban Renewal Plan
Many people may have seen that in Europe and the United States, there are so many various "organizations", and it seems that they are all fighting for the interests of their respective groups...

Just like animal protection, environmental protection, and labor unions...

But in fact, rather than fighting for certain groups or purposes, it is better to say that they are fighting for the interests of members of their organizations, mainly core members.

Just like Western trade unions, do you think they are really organizing strikes and other things for the benefit of workers all day long?

That would be a bit hasty. In fact, the final result of the negotiation may sometimes be able to gain some benefits, but most of the time, it is useless. Those who gain the benefits are still the core personnel-and they are really not ordinary people. Workers will be able to join their unions.

If you understand them as various "associations", by grasping the threshold of some industries and transforming interests, you can understand the way these Western organizations operate.

Take environmental protection for example. Do those who chant environmental protection all day long really care about environmental protection?

But once we have the right to speak, for example, if Tesla later went to Germany to build a factory, well, we can use various reasons to block you, and eventually get some of the benefits.

Returning to the urban renewal plan of King's Cross, KXCAAC is like this. After Argent Real Estate Group paid certain "prices", their plan was finally successfully agreed upon and approved by the government.

"In this triangular area between King's Cross Station and St Pancras Station, we will build a large commercial area, including a shopping plaza and a commercial street - the entire commercial street will follow the municipal landscape of the Regent River Expand and connect to the other side through bridges, part of which will be adjacent to Central Saint Martins.”

Unfolding the topographic map of King's Cross, Argent Real Estate Group's director in charge of the King's Cross urban renewal plan introduced it to Barron and Viscount Bute.

He focused on the central area of ​​​​the business district along the Regent River and said to Barron:
"A 33-story complex will be built here, which will be repurchased by DS Asset Management in the future. Your new Cavendish hotel will be opened here. The location is very advantageous."

In the introduction of the latest King's Cross urban renewal plan, a series of office buildings will be built on the south side of King's Cross Station, including the 4-hectare replacement plot, becoming an important office area in this area for those who Companies based in Kings Cross, offering space for purchase and lease.

The urban renewal plan for the entire King's Cross area still follows the division along the Regent's River, with commercial and office areas on the west side and residential areas on the south side.

It will be built into a high-end residential area around Central Saint Martins, including abandoned gas storage tanks and two plots of land owned by the Bute family.

As for the low-rent housing and low-cost housing promised to the Kent District Government, they will all be built north of the gas storage tank - this area will be separated from the high-end residential area by the tracks of St. Pancras Railway Station. Although the distance is not close, it is a completely separated area, which can also ensure that the style of the high-end residential area is not affected.

The urban renewal plan for the entire King's Cross area is expected to be completed in the next 20 years, and will be completed in several phases...

Hearing the plan of Argent Real Estate Group, Barron had no objections - what else could he do? After all, here in England, the speed of construction is no longer worth complaining about...

You must know that this is not China, and you can't expect their efficiency to be very high. Anyway, at least the King Cavendish Building he needs can be completed within the scope of the first phase. It can be said that the first phase of this plan, It is built around the core area near King's Cross Station and will gradually expand in the future.

It would be good if the King Cavendish Building can be completed within two years - it will be useless any earlier anyway. Only when both stations have been updated will it have greater commercial value.

When leaving, Barron couldn't help but complain in his heart - such a project would have been built in China in two years. What a goddamn 20 years!
If it weren't for this whole plan, Barron wouldn't have to spend much money - just wait until the Cavendish King's Building is completed, buy it back at a preferential price, and participate in such an important urban renewal plan in London, for If the accumulation of experience was extremely valuable, he wouldn't spend too much energy on it. …

"Hello everyone, welcome to Chatsworth Manor, I am the owner here - Barron Cavendish!"

When the young and handsome Duke, dressed in a well-fitting aristocratic costume, slowly walked down the stairs with an elegant smile, and appeared in front of 22 male and female contestants with different appearances, their excited expressions could not be suppressed at all, and Many of them couldn't help but exclaimed.

After all, although many of the rights of nobles have been greatly reduced, as a symbol of glory in British history to this day, nobles, especially those who are nobles as dukes, still need to be looked up to by ordinary people.

Looking across these players, Barron ignored the camera crew behind him and continued:

"The purpose of your coming here today is to take away as much as £25 as loyalists."

Hearing another exclamation from the crowd, Barron shook his head:
"Of course, the result of the matter may not be like this, because soon, three betrayers will be designated among you. As loyalists, you need to find the betrayers hidden among you... Otherwise, those bonuses will be stolen by them. Steal! Okay, I wish you all the best.”

After saying these lines, Barron's appearance in the "Traitor" reality show is over.

Next, it’s up to Bonnie Stuart, the host of this show.

Also because it is the first season of the "Renegade" reality show, in order to increase the interest and topicality of this show, Barron did not hesitate to appear in person.

After all, as the youngest and most handsome Duke in existence, he has always attracted much attention.

From now on, filming of Summit Media's first variety show has begun.

Barron only returned to Chatsworth Manor for one day to participate in this scene. For more than ten days, Bonnie will stay here as the host and chief planner to follow up the recording of this show. .

It can be said that she still has a lot of work, because in addition to the production of this program, she also needs to take care of the writing of the second novel of "Downton Abbey" in the remaining time.

It is expected that by the middle of this month, the first novel of "Downton Abbey" will be serialized in The Independent, and the serialization of the second part of this novel will begin next.

After the serialization is completed, taking advantage of the popularity of this novel, a physical book will be released immediately. In addition to being listed in the UK, it will also enter other European countries and the North American market to test the waters.

According to the plan, when the sales of the novel are satisfactory, filming of the TV series is expected to begin next year.
