The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 720
After Ye Qiu entered July, the itinerary was arranged densely and tightly.

After returning to London, the first thing he did was to visit the fully completed Stratford Stadium, which is now called the Eye of God by many people. This is a masterpiece known as a work of art.

Many people say that when you come to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, the most attractive thing is nothing more than three buildings. One is Stratford Stadium, which is known as the heart of London, which is the main stadium of the Olympic Games. There is also a data cloud created by Leaf Technology outside the main venue, and the skyscraper Zhenhua Building, which has already opened for business.

The three landmark buildings stole the limelight of the entire Olympic Park, especially the data cloud of Leaf Technology.

This 250-meter-high spiral building is designed with a transparent glass curtain wall. Anyone can see this towering spiral building from a distance. It's like a dream, especially going inside the data cloud.

Visitors can go up to the top floor in three ways, namely stairs, elevators and slopes, and even bicycle enthusiasts are allowed to challenge the spiraling slope in the data cloud. The difference is that it can be used to display some color images and information data, which is very dreamy.

Climbing to the top of the data cloud, you can not only feel the beautiful data cloud above your head, but also overlook the whole of London. Therefore, although the Olympic Games have not yet started, the opening of the data cloud immediately attracted countless people. Citizens and tourists pay to go up and visit, and participate in some games and interactive programs.

The largest flagship store of Leaf Technology in Europe is located at the bottom of the data cloud, and it is also the data center of Leaf Technology in London, which can be called the European headquarters and heart of Leaf Technology.

Accompanied by Peter Kenyon, Ron Gourley, Eliza Moon, and the Chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, Lord Sebastian Coe, Ye Qiu visited the data cloud of Leaf Technology, and then went to Sri Lanka. Tratford Stadium.

Different from Ye Qiu's previous life, this stadium is more beautiful and more artistic than the London Bowl in his previous life. The entire curtain wall is a display screen, and the ceiling is designed with adjustable hinges and cantilevers. Once it rains and snows, the ceiling can be completely closed Get up, and after the sophisticated ventilation design, even if the stadium is completely closed, 10,000+ people will not feel oppressed in the stadium.

The final cost of this stadium was more than 5000 million pounds, which is about 1 million euros. It seems that it is more than [-] million pounds more than Ye Qiu's previous London Bowl, and it is not much more expensive. But in fact, if Ye Qiu hadn't Qiu has invested [-] million yuan and provided appropriate support from other parties. The Olympic Organizing Committee and the London City Government will definitely not do it.

The London Bowl in the previous life claimed to have invested [-] million pounds, or about [-] million euros, but this was an investment. After the Olympics, they disassembled and sold all the detachable things, so the total investment was actually not that much.

But now it is different. Except for the ground floor which will be temporarily remodeled in the future and has some temporary stands, all of them are fixed permanent building structures. There are not many places that can be disassembled and recycled, so the investment is even greater.

But the biggest problem lies in the reasons of the British government and the Olympic Organizing Committee itself, because the current industrial manufacturing capacity of the UK has declined significantly, so in the past few years, the budget of this stadium has been continuously increased, and finally reached Such an astonishing figure.

Just like the same skyscraper, Zhenhua Building is taller than The Shard, with higher technological content and technical level, but the cost is much lower than the Shard. The reason is that almost the entire construction team and materials of Zhenhua Building They are all made in China, so they are much, much cheaper than those in the UK.

Ye Qiu had signed an agreement with the London Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee. He paid them [-] million yuan to build it, and he himself borne the money for future renovations. How much money was paid for this stadium, even he never asked, how much money fell into the pockets of some people.

Because that has nothing to do with him!

With the Olympic Games approaching, more and more tourists gathered in London and in the Olympic Park.

When Ye Qiu and others went to visit the Stratford Stadium, they also attracted the attention of many tourists. Many of them were even tourists from China. excited.

For Ye Qiu and the people of Tottenham Hotspur, visiting Stratford Stadium does not mean much, because many things will be completely transformed in a few months, but the Olympic organizing committee needs some news to build momentum , so Ye Qiu also cooperated with their plan, visited with the team, and inspected for the future transformation.

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" Lord Sebastian Coe led a middle-aged man in a suit and tie over, "This is Andrew Altman, CEO of the London Olympic Park Legacy Development Company. "

Ultraman, this is the reason why Ye Qiu almost didn't laugh when he heard this name. He really didn't expect someone with the surname Ultraman. I wonder if he is from the Kingdom of Light?
"Hello, Mr. Ultraman!" Ye Qiu smiled and stretched out his hand, smiling secretly, welcome to protect the earth.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Altman smiled politely and shook hands with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu knew what was going on, "I don't know what projects your Olympic Park Legacy Development Company is mainly responsible for? How can my team and I help?"

Altman didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so generous. He felt good and said with a smile: "We are under the direct jurisdiction of the Mayor's Office of the London City Hall, and are responsible for the operation of the entire Olympic Park after the Olympic Games, including owners, developers, planning bureaus and investors. We are the only management department, and the time limit is 20 years!"

Ye Qiu was not interested in the deadline, but the only word showed that they had the final say on the planning of the entire Olympic Park in the future.

What does this mean?This means that after the Olympic Games, the London government will continue to vigorously develop the area around the Olympic Park, and if developers want to invest in some development projects, they must pass the so-called London Olympic Park Legacy Development Corporation. Licensing and Support.

Even, Tottenham Hotspur entered the Stratford Stadium in the future, and Leaf Technology entered the data cloud, plus Zhenhua Building, they are all within the sphere of influence of the Olympic Park, and they all need to deal with them.

"You continue!" Ye Qiu smiled and motioned him to continue.

A group of people walked slowly in the stadium, especially when they reached the turf in the middle of the stadium. Ye Qiu felt that this turf was too bad. If Tottenham Hotspur came in, they must be replaced, all replaced.

"I believe that Mr. Ye Qiu also knows that this area was originally a highly polluted heavy industrial area and was demolished for the Olympic Games, but the soil here was listed as highly polluted, so when we were preparing for the Olympic Games, we specially established a soil hospital. Soil bioremediation, which uses bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms to clean up contaminated soil so that it can be used again."

Ye Qiu felt that this person was a bit long-winded, but he still put on an attitude of listening carefully, and kept nodding his head.

This piece of land has been a heavy industrial area for the past 400 years. In the [-]th century, textile printing was developed, and gasoline factories were built in the [-]th century. Later, waste, chemicals, glue factories, garbage dumps and auto repair factories, etc., are not just land pollution. , the waterways have also become dirty, and even the sky is polluted very badly, especially those densely packed cables.

It must be admitted that the London City Government has indeed invested a lot of money and manpower in transforming these.

But these have nothing to do with Ye Qiu, who told London to bid for the Olympic Games?Who told London to vigorously develop the East?

Ye Qiu doesn't think he's a prostitute, and he doesn't need to worry about these things in London, does he?

"Mr. Ye Qiu, the pollution situation in the entire Olympic Park has improved a lot in the past few years, but this is only temporary. You should know that if all the treatment is stopped after the Olympic Games, the pollution will Come back again."

Ye Qiu was also aware of this, and he paid enough attention to it.

"Prime Minister Cameron has urged the government, and Mayor Johnson has also decided to allocate funds through the city government. Both funds from the government will be used for the Olympic Park to continue to invest in environmental governance after the Olympic Games. We will transplant trees, flowers and Wetland plants and other methods will slowly consolidate and improve the achievements made in environmental governance. According to preliminary estimates, [-] trees and plants will be planted in the next year."

What Andrew Altman said here is actually very obvious. Believe the same thing, he must have said the same thing to several other large companies that have moved into the Olympic Park, including the supermarket at the exit of the subway station.

To put it bluntly, this is money!
Both the British government and the London City Government have taken the lead. You companies that live in the Olympic Park also live on this land, so you should, and it is necessary to bear some expenses, right?

"I understand, Mr. Altman!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, he was smiling from beginning to end, "I can promise that Tottenham Hotspur, Leaf Technology and Huangtian Group will all strongly support the legacy of the Olympic Park To develop the company, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell us, as long as it is within our ability, we will give support and help!"

Ye Qiu also speaks very well, but there is a word in it, do what you can, that is to say, just don't talk too much.

"Thank you very much for your support, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Andrew Altman was already very satisfied to get such an answer. At least Ye Qiu was very generous and did not get entangled with them on these issues.

Some other enterprises and institutions basically complained when they heard that they wanted money, as if their companies were so poor that they were about to close their doors.

Andrew Altman's next job is very difficult, because they have no money, instead they have to ask others for money, and among all the errands, the job of asking others for money is the most difficult, but now there are After hearing Ye Qiu's words, at least things took a turn for the better.

In the future, other companies and companies will dawdle, just say, Tottenham Hotspur and Leaf Technology have paid for it, are you still ashamed to renege on the debt?

Thinking of this, Andrew Altman really had the urge to hug Ye Qiu and kiss him. This Chinese is so interesting!

Ye Qiu originally thought that the Olympic Organizing Committee asked him to visit the stadium, but he didn't expect to take the opportunity to ask him to pay for it, and his mood for visiting the stadium dropped a lot. After all, he himself was very busy, so after walking around, he casually After finding an excuse and asking Peter Kenyon to remind them, a few people left first.

"I said, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like such a generous person!" Although Peter Kenyon is British, he is now an executive under Ye Qiu. With Ye Qiu's salary, he naturally wants to stand by Ye Qiu. Qiu's perspective to think and look at the problem.

Ye Qiu smiled wryly, "Am I usually stingy?"

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley laughed in unison. Fortunately, no one heard them in the car except the company driver. Otherwise, they must have thought these two guys were crazy. Are you leaning back?
"First of all, I think that we really need to support the work of the heritage development company, because our stadium, shops and hotels are all in this park, and it is our obligation to take part of the responsibility."

What Ye Qiu said was indeed reasonable.

"And they have the right to plan the Olympic Park after the Olympics, so I believe that if we do a little favor for them now, they will do us a big favor in the future. Doing business, isn't it that you help me, I help you I!"

When Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley heard Ye Qiu's words, their tall and tall images immediately became vulgar, and an adjective flashed in their minds, profiteers!
In fact, Ye Qiu had another consideration, and that was the Stratford Stadium.

From the perspective of this stadium back then, it was indeed a loss. It took five or six years to get it after investing [-] million yuan, and it had to be remodeled at your own expense. If you look at it from a different perspective, you will find that you have made a lot of money, because the income from tourism alone is not cheap every year.

According to current preliminary estimates, the potential audience for football games in London is 500 million, which includes not only the population of Greater London, but also surrounding areas and foreign tourists.

So there is a problem here. If you look at the whole of the UK, among all the newly built stadiums, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium has the largest capacity, reaching 6 people, but it is in London, and there are basically no other places outside of London. A new stadium with a capacity of more than [-].

Therefore, Liverpool has been clamoring to build a new stadium for so long. Why didn’t they do it? This is because of this consideration. They think that spending money to build such a stadium can’t bring much profit, and at the same time, the capacity can’t be increased too much. Not worth it.

Only after the Indians took over Liverpool, they promised the fans, so they started construction, but the capacity is only about [-]. It cannot be higher, and there will be a large number of empty stands, which will affect the atmosphere of the stadium.

In the UK, one of the four people is in the greater London area, so Ye Qiu had many choices at the beginning, including Aston Villa, including some other teams, but he chose London because there is only one reason, it can only be done here Only by becoming bigger and stronger can we have the foundation to challenge super giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

What is the basis of Barcelona and Real Madrid?
Apart from a host of other reasons, it is very important that the capacity of the Bernabéu and Camp Nou stadiums is much higher than that of other competitors, as well as the guaranteed attendance of the team, which can ensure that the two teams Every game a giant team can earn millions more in game-day revenue than other giants.

The capacity of Tottenham Hotspur's Stratford Stadium is locked at 8 people, and there is also room for the expansion of the third tier stand. Everyone thinks Tottenham Hotspur must be crazy, Because the Emirates Stadium is only 8, and the Old Trafford Stadium is less than [-], how dare Tottenham Hotspur dare to use the [-] stadium?How to guarantee attendance?
But a few years have passed, and the facts have proved that although Ye Qiu's original decision was risky, it was right!

After the stadium is built, it is real estate. Renovation costs money and has a great impact, but the performance and influence of the team can be improved anytime and anywhere. That is to say, after the completion of your stadium, the capacity is difficult to change, but your ball The performance and influence of the team can be improved through a series of operations.

Therefore, Ye Qiu decided to build a large-capacity stadium at the beginning, but now, Tottenham Hotspur don't need to worry about attendance at all. What they need to worry about is, is [-] attendance enough?
From this point of view, Stratford Stadium has made a lot of money for Tottenham Hotspur. I believe everyone, including the British government and the London City Government, knows it well, so Ye Qiu must Concession in some small things, if he continues to haggle with them on small things, there is no guarantee that they will not wear small shoes for you in the future.

Instead of this, it's better to be straightforward and give cooperation and help as much as possible in some details. Although I lost some money, where can I lose it?How much is [-] trees a year?How much is the annual maintenance cost after planting?
But how much does Tottenham Hotspur's Stratford Stadium earn a year?
If there is an opportunity in the future to help the Huangtian Group acquire a piece of land for development in a good location around the Olympic Park, how much money can they earn?

Therefore, Ye Qiu's calculations are very shrewd. He firmly believes in one sentence, those who can make money are not as good as those who can spend money.

Of course, as the boss, it is inconvenient for Ye Qiu to talk about many things. If the people under his command understand it, he understands it, and if he doesn't understand it, he still doesn't understand it. It's a good thing to maintain some distance and a sense of mystery.

"By the way, Peter, how is the transfer of Alves going?" Ye Qiu asked, breaking the silence in the carriage.
