Chapter 223 Parting Mobilization Meeting (for Subscription)

On the evening of the third day, when the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the big tree at the entrance of the old town for the countless times, it was another long journey for the wanderer.

The old couple watched Davidia involucrata and Banxia go away, and they turned around after a long time.

After returning to the capital, it was obvious that everyone's mental state seemed to have undergone a transformation.

After returning from Banwan Village, they sent letters one by one to each of the ten families for Ms. Xia's family, the old captain's family, and the brothers in Keke Sicily.

This is a baptism, unknowingly affecting the long-term design path of everyone, and benefiting everyone a lot.

Today is the assembly and mobilization party for the construction team of the China Pavilion in Barcelona. Bai Gongtong brought Masayuki Kurokawa and Su Mu to participate.

"Designer Bai, after your request, we finally selected Jingcheng Construction Engineering Group."

Prior to this, when they returned to Banwan Village, Masayuki Kurokawa was sent by Gongtong to participate in the selection of the construction company by the organizing committee, and Masayuki Kurokawa was introducing this in a low voice in Gongtong's ear.

"This is a very large-scale construction company in China, with profound qualifications in ancient buildings."

All three of them were dressed in formal suits, with meticulous suits and ties. David Davidson walked in the middle, and Kurokawa Masayuki and Su Mu followed one from the left and the other from the right.

"I see, I have worked hard for you during this time, Yazhi."

In front of the door of the large conference room, they stopped, only to see Gong Tong patted Kurokawa Masayuki on the shoulder, and thanked him softly.

"No, I have gained a lot from following you."

Masahiro Kurokawa was taken aback when he heard the words, then with a serious face, he bowed seriously to Gongtong and said in a deep voice.

Gong Tong nodded, and then gently pushed open the door of the meeting room.

The meeting room is very large, but after a cursory scan, it is estimated that there are already hundreds of people sitting there, including leaders and construction workers who will fly to Barcelona with the plane.

"Designer Bai, you're here!"

In front of the seats in the conference room was a long table with about seven or eight seats. Minister Chen of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development sitting in the middle immediately saw Baitongtong who had just entered the door, with a rosy complexion and a smile, and waved repeatedly.

A staff member approached and took Su Mu and Kurokawa Masayuki back to their seats, which were the first row in front of the long table.

Gongtong walked towards Minister Chen, and there were table signs corresponding to each other on the long table.

"Minister Chen, President Xue"

Mr. Xue was on one side of Minister Chen's hand, and the seat on the other side was empty. Gong Tong saw her name on the table sign and knew that this was her seat.

"Designer Bai, the higher-ups attach great importance to our expo this time. After seeing your proposal, he expressed his liking and expectation."

Minister Chen held Bai Gongtong's hand, and his voice was very loud: "This is the first real national pavilion in our country. I hope we can make the first shot of a cultural and artistic power!"

"Our country has a long history and a long cultural heritage, but there is no reason why it is always suppressed by Western countries."

Although the assembly and mobilization party hadn't started yet, there was no one in the conference room talking at this time, and they all focused on the movement in the front.

Mr. Xue, the organizing committee next to Minister Chen, the government leaders, and the leaders of China Construction Group, heard Minister Chen's words, and immediately raised their attention to the China Pavilion of this expo to another level.

"Dove Tree will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Bai Gongtong expressed her thoughts, but her mouth did not pause, and she responded immediately.

After shaking hands with several other people and exchanging a few words, Davidia Davidson sat down on the seat marked with her name.

"Everyone, in four months' time, on May 2002st, the [-] Barcelona Expo will have its grand opening."

The meeting officially started, Minister Chen's voice sounded through the microphone in the meeting room: "The China Pavilion will also open on the same day."

"As we all know, every expo, the design of the national pavilions of each country is the top priority of the exhibition, and it is the first impression of the country's facade."

Minister Chen paused slightly as he spoke, and then said in a serious voice, "As for our country's national pavilions in the past few years, everyone knows that, to put it bluntly, it is really not on the stage."

"On the one hand, many domestic designers have inherited western design concepts, but on the other hand, as China's national pavilion, we must require it to show the cultural and artistic views that belong to China."

"This created a very embarrassing situation. I also know that there are many people laughing at our national pavilion behind the scenes."

The words were a little heavy, and hundreds of people in the conference room looked tense.

Gong Tong sat next to Minister Chen, regardless of what was going on in her head, in short, her expression and movements were in place, her body was straight and her face was serious, she was a generation of elites.

Minister Chen continued: "Some people say that our national pavilion is just to draw a dragon and a phoenix on the wall, and at most it will erect an archway."

"Some people also say that when the World Expo is held around the world, our country's nationals who travel and work abroad are often embarrassed to visit our own country's national pavilion!"

At this point, the words stopped abruptly.

Minister Chen's eyes seemed to be real, and he swept across the people in front of the stage. At this moment, he only heard his words raised, and the conversation turned sharply:

"Our national pavilion this time is different. It is designed by Bai, the most watched young designer in the world, beside me."

"Designer Bai extracted the concept, aesthetics and thoughts of 'Zen' from the ancient Chinese culture, and expressed the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River with modern expressions!"

The eyes of the audience immediately looked at Bai Gongtong, with surprise and admiration on their faces.

"The theme of this year's fair in Barcelona is world art."

Minister Chen's previously solemn face finally softened, showing strong expectations. He said loudly: "I believe this is the best time to show the charm of ancient Chinese art to the world!"

"The whole world will be attracted and amazed by our long-standing culture!"

"Our citizens, whether abroad or not, will be proud of our civilization!"

The voice resounded in the meeting room, and everyone applauded, with smiles on their faces.

"Everyone listen to me."

Minister Chen stretched out his hand to press down on the audience, and said with a smile: "As I said at the beginning, we attach great importance to this expo."

"After the completion of the China Pavilion, on the opening day of the China Pavilion, the above will personally thank every one of our members who have worked hard for it through a video, and at the same time give a welcome speech to the world!"

The applause of 'clap clap' sounded again.

"Designer Bai, why don't you come and tell us a few words?"

Minister Chen nodded, turned the microphone to Bai Gongtong, and said with a smile.

Gongtong was not stage fright, just nodded, very calm, he leaned gently beside the microphone, his black and white eyes fell on everyone, followed by a crisp voice:
"Thank you very much for everyone's expectations of me. I feel sincere and sincere, and I can only do my best."

"I believe this World Expo will be a brand new beginning and an important opportunity to showcase our culture to the world's architecture and arts."

"Let's look forward"

The official reporters in the meeting room kept taking photos.

In the People's Daily that night, there was a large section reporting the assembly and mobilization party of the construction team of the China Pavilion, which attracted the attention of many people.

On the second day, a special plane flew to Barcelona carrying the team sent by China Construction Engineering Group, members of the China Pavilion Organizing Committee and Bai Gongtong.
