Chapter 1985 I've thought of everything for you
Upon hearing this, Director Qian was taken aback. "You figured it out? How did you solve it? Can you guarantee that this eighty-year-old house is absolutely safe?"
He then looked around. He had observed the courtyard when he entered, and there was absolutely no indication of any preparation for its renovation.
There was no scaffolding, no bricks, paint, wooden stakes... or any trace of carpentry or bricklaying.
He's a veteran in the field of cultural relics, and he knows the steps required to repair an ancient building and how to protect a cultural relic to the fullest extent!
From observation, it is clear that this courtyard house has not undergone any cultural relic restoration procedures!
He found it hard to imagine how Li Xiangnan could find a reasonable excuse for his deliberate targeting!
However, at this moment, Li Xiangnan took out materials from his file bag and said, "I can't guarantee absolute safety, but I can prove that the structure of this courtyard can definitely withstand tomorrow's banquet!"
The documents in his hand were thick and neatly bound, with the title printed on the cover: Building Structure Safety Assessment Report.
"Director Qian, please take a look!" Li Xiangnan opened the report and handed it over. "This is a structural safety assessment that Professor Liang Mingyuan, a senior professor in the Department of Architecture at Yenching University, specially did for me!"
The first page of the report is a hand-drawn structural diagram of the courtyard, clearly marking the positions of beams and columns, the thickness of walls, and the depth of foundations.
Director Qian's hands were trembling as he took the report!
He turned to the second page, which was filled with even more densely packed calculation formulas and numbers.
"Main beam cross-section dimensions: 35 cm x 40 cm, material: elm wood, elastic modulus E = 9500 MPa..."
"Maximum bearing capacity calculation: based on a live load of 200 kg per square meter..."
"Dynamic response analysis: Considering the walking frequency of the crowd is 0.5-2Hz, and the structural resonance frequency is 8.5Hz, resonance will not occur..."
Each calculation is followed by detailed data and conclusions.
Director Qian's face darkened. He turned to the last page, which contained the evaluation results of the entire report:
"After on-site inspection and professional structural calculation, the main structure of the courtyard house at No. 80 Nanluoguxiang is intact. All beams and columns in the front, middle and rear buildings as well as the rear building and the back building have no cracks or decay. They are well maintained and well preserved!"
"With no more than 1500 people active at the same time, the structural safety reserve factor is 2.6, which fully meets the safety requirements!"
At the end of the signature, a shocking name was written: Liang Mingyuan!
His professional title is Liang Mingyuan, Associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Director of the Department of Architectural Structure at Yenching University!
They even stamped it with the official seal of the teaching and research office!
Director Qian's hands were shaking so much while reading the report that he could barely hold it!
He wasn't an architectural expert, so he naturally couldn't understand those complex calculation formulas, but he could understand the final conclusion.
Safety requirements are met!
What's even more frightening is that the report's level of detail and professionalism far exceeded his comprehension!
He is very knowledgeable about historical and architectural preservation measures, but when it comes to the more specialized areas of architecture, such sophisticated and in-depth physical calculations are involved…
He's a newbie!
Shock!
Extremely shocked!
“If Director Qian has any questions about this report,” Li Xiangnan’s voice rang out again, “I can call Professor Liang right now and ask him to come over and explain it to you personally! I believe that with the Liang family’s expertise in architecture in China, Director Qian will be completely convinced! Of course, if you don’t trust Professor Liang’s professional judgment, you can naturally ask a designated third-party structure to re-inspect our yard, and I will cover the inspection costs! However, this inspection will probably have to be postponed, and I need to hear my opinion!”
He paused, looking at Director Qian's increasingly pale face, and said quietly, "Of course, before your professional test results are available, you can't just cancel our banquet based on speculation like 'what if' or 'if,' citing concerns about public safety. That probably doesn't comply with procedural regulations, does it?"
Director Qian opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time!
He was trying to say, what credibility does a report have?
What credibility can a university professor have?
But he couldn't say a word!
Because what Li Xiangnan produced was not an ordinary certificate, but a professional structural safety assessment report!
It contains data, calculations, conclusions, expert signatures, and the organization's official seal!
Moreover, Liang Mingyuan is a member of the Liang family.
Looking back at the history of our country, it seems that no one has yet achieved the same level of expertise and inherited the same legacy in architecture as them!
If he utters a single word of dissent, millions of his supporters will hurl insults at him!
He looked at Li Xiangnan with a sense of despair.
How can you fight against someone like that?
Use your expertise? They're more professional than you.
Use evidence? They have more evidence than you do.
Using a program? They know more about programs than you do!
“Director Qian,” Li Xiangnan’s voice was exceptionally clear in the silence, “Do you want to continue the examination? Or do you want me to provide any other proof?”
The courtyard was deathly silent.
Director Qian's face stiffened again and again. Seeing that he had exhausted all the tricks he had brought, he looked around and found that the neighbors were also looking at him with disdain.
He was in his fifties and had never been looked down upon like this before. His heart tightened immediately, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Fine, I believe all your evidence!"
A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.
"but!"
But just as people were about to cheer, Director Qian suddenly raised his hand: "As I said before, this courtyard was built during the Guangxu era, and it has a history of eighty years! Since it has a history, according to the 'Interim Measures for the Management of Cultural Relics Protection,' it must be subject to supervision. You must apply for approval in advance to hold a banquet within a cultural relic protection unit, and a cultural relic impact assessment must be conducted! In other words, whether this courtyard is a cultural relic protection unit or not can only be determined after the assessment! During the assessment period, all activities must be suspended until the final result is obtained, and only then can you apply for approval based on the result..."
"Director Qian?" Li Xiangnan suddenly smiled. "You just said that our courtyard is a cultural relic protection unit?"
"Of course!" Director Qian emphasized repeatedly, "Buildings from the Guangxu era have a history of over a hundred years, so of course they are considered cultural relics!"
"Then may I ask," Li Xiangnan asked with a smile, "in what year was our courtyard designated as a cultural relic protection unit? What is its protection level? What is the protected area? Can you tell me these things?"
Director Qian was taken aback!
He just had a sudden inspiration and used Li Xiangnan's perspective to explain the reason. The point was to find a way to delay the Li family's banquet. As long as it couldn't be held smoothly tomorrow, that would be fine!
How would he know about the level of cultural relic protection?
This courtyard is not a cultural relic at all!
“These…” But he wasn’t intimidated and immediately evaded the question, saying, “I’ll check the files when I get back…”
"No need to check!" Li Xiangnan chuckled, confident of his victory. "I've already checked everything for you!"
"???"
Director Qian was shocked. He watched as Li Xiangnan took things out of the brown paper bag again, and his face turned ashen.
Who the hell is this Li Xiangnan?
How could they come up with a solution for this?
