Chapter 820

In the morning, there was a rare sunshine in Manchester.

Gao Han sat in the shade of the garden, watching Xiao Gaoshen holding the bench, staggering away. Every two or three steps, he turned back and grinned at his father, showing his little mouth with four front teeth, giggling.

It's lovely.

Every time I saw him smile, Gao Han could not help waving to him and beckoning him to come back to his father to hug him. However, the boy deliberately turned his head and went on until he reached the end of the bench. Then he slowly moved, turned to the other side, and slowly helped him back.

He's only one year old. Now he's not very steady. He needs to be led or supported by something.

In the old man's words, this is a smart kid who knows how to be afraid of falling.

He has been playing all the time in the cold days. He is busy when he comes home occasionally. It's hard to find the time to accompany his son. It's strange to say that Xiao Gaoshen is very close to him and likes to chase him.

This kid is not sticky. He only needs to sit with him in the cold. He can play for a long time by himself. Occasionally, he will giggle when encountering interesting things, which makes the cold feel strange, but also cute and interesting.

Lin Xia is writing in the living room. She has just set up her own company in Beijing and developed a news application on Apple's IOS platform. Now everything is just starting.

In the past, when Gao Han was busy competing, she had to take care of her children as well as the company's affairs. Now Gao Han is on holiday, so she can devote herself to the company's affairs and give her children to her husband.

Gao Han is also very supportive of Lin Xia's entrepreneurial plan, and has promised to become the second in-depth columnist signed by his company, specializing in the field of football, which is also his best field.

"Be careful."

Gao Han saw Xiao Gaoshen holding the long wooden chair behind him and went back with a giggle, as if he was playing hide and seek. It was very interesting. He quickly gave a warning for fear that the boy might run fast and fall down.

However, it's really strange that Xiao Gaoshen can't walk on his own, but as long as he is given a finger or something to support, he can walk fast and steadily.

Perhaps, this is the so-called sense of security.

"Hey, boy, come here, let's go." Gao Han shouts to Xiao Gao Shen.

But the boy giggled and shook his head, and wanted to continue playing.

"I'm going out with my mother. Are you going?" Then Gao Han stood up on purpose.

On hearing this, Xiao Gaoshen, who was opposite the long wooden chair, immediately came over with the long chair in his hand and called his father in a sweet voice.

Gao Han bent down, picked up his son, and gave him a kiss on his pink face.

"Let's go and find mom."

Father and son came home playing all the way.

After entering the living room, Gao Han put Xiao Gaoshen on the floor. The boy immediately slipped like a loach, swished and climbed very fast on the ground, and rushed into Lin Xia's arms on the sofa.

"You're a good timekeeper. As soon as I'm done, you'll let go." Lin Xia looks at Gao Han in a strange way.

Alpine is pretending to have a triumphant expression, as if to say, don't you know that this immortal can calculate?

When Lin Xia saw it, he burst out laughing.

"By the way, my father and mother are asking, when are we going back to Beijing?" Lin Xia asked while he was intimate with his son.

"In a few days, I'm waiting for news from Madrid."

Two days ago, Manchester City began to disband for the holiday. All the players either went to the national team to prepare for the world cup or started to take a holiday. Gao has also had two days off.

However, used to the tense season life, suddenly idle down, really very uncomfortable.

But this kind of comfortable life will not pass for a few days.

In Madrid, the first edition of the planning and design of the new stadium in Chinatown has come out in recent days. Alpine must go to see it, and there are many similar things in China, especially in Beijing Chinatown youth training center. Alpine must go back to see it in person, especially in the selection of talent day, which is a top priority.

This summer, alpine also took on an extra job, that is to write a column for the guardian.

This is not because the cold is greedy for a little money, but because green Wald has promoted the cooperation between Lin Xia's company and several authoritative media, such as the guardian and the times, in terms of news. The cold must be more active in its columns. After all, this summer is the world cup, which only happens once every four years.

According to the data given by green Wald, Gao Han is now not only the highest paid columnist in the UK, but also after writing to the guardian regularly, the sales volume of the guardian will be much higher than usual when there is his column, which shows the influence and attention of Gao Han in the UK.

In view of this, the guardian's World Cup special topic is focused on the cold column, and even they are willing to provide free air tickets, travel expenses and other expenses for the cold to watch the game in South Africa.

Originally, Sky TV also paid a lot of money to invite Gao Han as a guest commentator for the live commentary of the competition. However, after considering it again and again, Gao Han declined politely. He preferred to set aside more time to travel with his wife and children.

Neither he nor Lin has been to Africa.

Just when they were discussing the trip to Africa, Gao Han waited for a phone call for many days and finally came.

…………

…………

"It's a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lee, Mr. Herzog, Mr. de Mellon."

The next morning, Gao Han received the design team of the new stadium flying from Switzerland in the senior conference room of Chinatown training center in the southern suburb of Madrid, together with their elaborately designed works for several months.

"So are we."

Each other are famous figures in their respective fields, so they are very polite when they first meet.

When Gao Han was in charge of Bayern Munich, he met Herzog and de Mellon, and his words were a little unfamiliar. When Gao Han praised Allianz stadium, their impression of him increased.

"To tell you the truth, it's our pinnacle in sports architecture, even up to now." Herzog said sincerely, but soon the conversation changed.

"Of course, we hope to make a breakthrough in the new stadium in Chinatown

Gao Han smiles and nods. Of course, he doesn't care about this. After all, they are business people.

In addition to rendering renderings, they specially prepared a beautiful model for the conference table.

The new stadium is irregular in shape, surrounded by a circle of slender skeleton, as many as 260, brick pillars, inspired by the combination of Gothic architecture and traditional Chinese brick technology, giving people a very simple, heavy and solid feeling.

Each brick pillar is an independent structural element, which adapts to different site constraints and supports the main body of the building by raising, lowering, moving closer or farther. Above them is a huge ring-shaped geometric structure, which connects each pillar and forms the trend of the stars and the moon.

After passing through the ring-shaped steel beam, the brick pillar extends from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside in a sunken structure, and is gathered into a rectangle the size of a stadium, which is suspended directly above the stadium.

Near the ground, the brick pillars are cut, so that an arched area is cut between each pillar and the main building, which is used as the entrance and exit Hall of the stadium. It is very similar to the arcade pattern in southern China, so that fans can walk around the shops on the ground floor rain or shine.

In addition to the overall stadium, there is also a simple brick shopping center with the same style design on the third floor, which is connected with the stadium by a corridor bridge. The corridor bridge is composed of arches. The open-air upstairs passage is like the ancient Chinese city wall, and there is a special beacon tower design, which is very unique. You can directly enter the stadium grandstand from the upstairs and downstairs.

The whole design is very unrestrained, but at the same time, it gives people a very classical sense of history and culture.

Gao Han and others all saw it in front of their eyes.

"In Mr. Gao Han's message conveyed by Mr. Li, I fully extracted a concept, that is to create a sense of home for the fans, let them feel warm and safe."

The cold weather makes him nod. Whether it's the main design of the stadium or the shopping mall, it gives him a very familiar feeling of intimacy. It's a bit like a Western Castle, but it has a strong Chinese element, especially the corridor bridge, which is the finishing touch of the painting. People feel like a stone arch bridge and the Great Wall at first sight.

"After listening to the advice of deputy chief manager Li, we went to the home of the major European teams and tried to find a very special feeling. We have been to Allianz stadium of Liverpool, Bernabeu of Real Madrid, nou camp of Barcelona, Allianz of Bayern Munich..."

Speaking of this, Herzog said with a smile, "I'm an iron fan, Mr. Gao Han. I play at least one game a week in Switzerland, so I hope to design a landmark building that brings warmth and security to the fans, and integrates culture, history and sports."

"I never follow any trend, nor will I follow any architectural style, nor will I deliberately distinguish myself from others. I like to be spontaneous and natural. I believe that every building will bring different feelings to people. We should not simply cater to the taste of the times, but should strive to grasp the eternity of the moment."

"This is an era of rapid change, and so is professional football. But each of us should try our best to explore the deepest emotion and release it. So I hope that this stadium can imprint the unique mark of China city on every fan who comes here and goes to the stands."

As soon as Herzog's voice fell, Gao Han applauded.

Then everyone in the room clapped in unison.

This is indeed a very excellent display, especially the design concept described by Herzog coincides with what Alpine people think. The new stadium with a strong sense of history and humanity designed by Herzog has conquered Alpine people and everyone present from the first sight.

Obviously, Herzog and de Mellon are not only designing a new stadium, but also breaking through themselves.

They hope to further think about the relationship between space and human life and emotion on the basis of Allianz stadium, bird's nest and other sports buildings, in addition to those materials, lines and concept settings with a sense of future.

There is no doubt that this is also a rare breakthrough.

"That's what I want!" Gao Han said, holding Herzog's hand firmly.
