African Entrepreneurship Records

  Chapter 357 Soga

In fact, East Africa will also face this problem. Many people in East Africa have never seen a train. Some people will definitely feel fearful when they see a steel monster like a train for the first time. This requires the government to carry out popular science and education for people along the railway Only appeasement can solve it.

   "Look quickly?"

  Out of the car window, a team of railway workers were under construction. At this time, the railway changed, and a branch road was diverted to the south. Workers could also be seen laying rails.

   "Mr. Aryan! Didn't you say that the railway was completed, so what are they doing?"

Aryan was a little irritable. These people had too little knowledge and always questioned themselves, so he said impatiently: "It's finished! And it's been completed for a few months. This is what the East African government personnel said personally, and this It is obviously a side road under construction, I think you should know what the side road is? Could it be that a road will not be connected to other places after it is repaired? The avenues in the Far East are also connected by small roads!"

  Obviously, they didn't notice Aryan's displeasure, and continued to ask: "Where does this fork lead?"

  Aryan didn't continue to talk to them this time, and it was his first time in the East African Kingdom, so he asked himself everything, who knows where this fork in the railway leads to! As I said before, although Aryan is an East African, he has only been in Europe and the Far East before, and he doesn't know anything about East Africa. In addition, I am not engaged in geography or railways, but a small clerk of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of East Africa. It is good to know something about it. The doctors in the Far East are really looking for trouble. Does this have anything to do with you?

  The turnoff diverges from the main road to the south.

  In a place that the group of people can't see, a large construction site is under construction, and this is the destination of the fork—"Suojia". The location of Suoga is just south of Bagamoyo, southwest of Dar es Salaam, and southeast of the first town. Four points form a rhombus.

After the transformation of Dar es Salaam was completed, the huge engineering team was not disbanded, nor was it sent to other places. Instead, it was uniformly dispatched to the cable car at a distance of 36 kilometers to the southwest of Dar es Salaam. add.

That's right, Suoga is Ernst's latest planning city. The location of Suoga can't be said to be good, but it's definitely not bad. It's some distance from the first railway, but the first railway will build a branch line to connect here .

  Although the purpose of Soga City is unknown, the specifications are very high. Ernst specially invited the royal designer from Vienna to plan and design Soga City. Referring to Vienna, Soga City focuses on building a "garden city". This positioning is different from the first town, Dar es Salaam, and Bagamoyo.

  No one knows what Ernst wants to do. Even Kang Guo and Constantine don't know what his son's purpose in building this city is, but there is no big problem with the new city, so everyone doesn't care too much.

   On the construction site.

   "Mr. Lawrence, here is to build a flower bed according to the requirements on the drawings, but this size is not too wasteful in terms of area."

Lawrence: "You just need to follow my instructions. The flower beds are built for aesthetics. You see, this is a Y-shaped fork, and a three-story building will be built right in front of the fork. And at this fork A huge flower bed is built in the middle, which can be used as a buffer, and can make the high-rise buildings on three sides see the flower bed together, which not only gives people a sense of security, but also makes people pleasing to the eye.”

   While Lawrence was teaching his subordinates, the workers on the construction site were digging the city's sewers. The design of the drainage facilities in Soga City was more developed than that in Dar es Salaam.

  The design population of Soga City is not large, about 50,000 people, but in terms of infrastructure, it is the same as Dar es Salaam City, and Dar es Salaam New City can accommodate about 150,000 people.

Moreover, the design of the buildings in Soga City is also more sophisticated. Many buildings even use the same elements as the Schönbrunn Palace of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Fountains, squares, flower beds, and woodland can be seen everywhere. In fact, they are the same French style as the Schönbrunn Palace. garden.

  After educating the assistant, Lawrence asked his partner: "Mr. Dreis, what do you think we should use as a symbol of this artwork?"

  Dress is also the designer of Soga City. The difference between him and Lawrence is that Lawrence is better at classicism, while Lawrence is more modern and pays more attention to the convenience of life in terms of urban design.

  Dress: "Landmarks can play a finishing touch for every cultural city, so we should design a logo with German characteristics to reflect the connotation of Soga City."

   "Connotation, but what is the connotation of Soga City!" Dries' words caused Lawrence to ponder.

Berlin has the Brandenburg Gate, Paris has the Arc de Triomphe, Vienna has St. Stefan's Cathedral, Britain has Big Ben, and New York's Statue of Liberty can make people remember deeply. For the image of the city, Nasauga What is the soul.

  First of all, Soga is an East African city, and secondly, East Africa is a German country, so Soga should have these two characteristics.

  Dress: "How about we build a fountain square to reflect the artistic features of Soga City?"

Lawrence: "It's a bit difficult for the square to be famous. It must be big enough to attract people's attention. The scale of Soga City obviously doesn't match the big square. I think it's better to create a large sculpture to impress people." profound."

Dreis: "Sculptures are not good. I thought about this at the beginning. The requirements for design are too high. Master-level figures must be hired, and this is not good for the two of us. Although Soga City is located in Africa, it is not allowed. A rare piece of art."

  For Dries, mastering the design of a city is a great achievement. Even if he is in Africa, how many people can get the design power of the entire city!

Lawrence: "Since it is not easy to highlight the design features of Soga City and increase our value, Soga City can be said to be the most perfect of many cities I have designed. It is completely conceived on a piece of white land. Alas, why don't European cities invite us to design! Even if it is a second-tier city that invites us."

  Lawrence said with emotion that if Soga City were in Europe, more people could see the city he designed, which would greatly improve his commercial value and popularity.

  It's a pity that Soga City was built in this **** place in East Africa. Even after it was built, who would live here? Lawrence and Drake agreed that Soga City was just Ernst's toy. Now one-third of the construction of Suojia City has been completed, and no one has settled in. Except for the construction team and designers, there is no one else.
