61 years ago, under the aid of the Democratic Republic of Germany, Zhengzhou Ersha was built in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou, the largest grinding wheel factory in mainland China. Fighting the stars, the past is as brilliant as ever. In the pain of “cage change for birdsâ€, Zhengzhou Ersha, renamed “White Pigeon†Group, became the first cultural and creative industrial park in Zhengzhou with the opportunity of the development of cultural industry, and ushered in the first batch of settlers. .
◎The “first move†road after the return of the 80s
On April 17, Zhengzhou Baige Group abandoned the factory.
In a large indoor space of about 160 square meters and a height of 7 meters, there are dozens of white and gray grinding wheels scattered on the large silver sheet.
This is the location of the Wang Hao studio after the return of the 80s. At the end of October 2013, Wang Hao took the initiative to close a good coffee shop, rented an abandoned factory of 6000 square meters of Zhengzhou Baige Group, and registered Zhengzhou Yihesheng Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and started a new life closer to art. ".
Wang Wei was born in the western suburbs of Zhengzhou. At that time, the Dove Group was also called Zhengzhou No. 2 Grinding Wheel Factory. “At the time, I was looking for two sands because of high wages.â€
In 1993, when Wang Hao went to middle school, Ersha went public and changed its name to Baige Group. This is the first listed company in Zhengzhou. Become the pride of Zhengzhou and even Henan Province.
In 2003, when the Dove Group began to decline, Wang Hao went to study in Berlin, Germany. After graduating in 2006, he refused the olive branch thrown by Huawei and returned to Zhengzhou to open a coffee shop. When he learned that Zhengzhou intends to create the Baige Culture Creative Industry Park, he decided to transform and enter the “Two Sandsâ€.
The media reported that the Baige Culture and Creative Industry Park was called Zhengzhou 798. This stems from the great success of the Beijing 798 Art District, the “standard†of the Chinese mainland.
In 1995, the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts rented a warehouse of more than 3,000 square meters as a sculpture workshop in the abandoned factory building of No. 4 Jiuxianqiao, Beijing, at a low rent of 3 cents per square meter per day, and accepted the government's commission to make the Lugouqiao Anti-Japanese War. Memorial group sculpture. After the completion of the sculpture project, the molder Luo Hailin renewed the space and made it a sculpture factory open to artists. Because the waste factory here was originally called 798 Electronic Equipment Factory, it is called 798 Art District.
For Beijing 798 Art District, Wang Hao is no stranger. Before going to Germany to study in 2003, he hanged several times in the 798 Art District in Beijing. During his studies in Berlin, he learned that the Federal Republic of Germany had transformed the democratic German waste factories and upgraded them to art parks.
Wang Hao hopes to become a pioneer of Luo Haijun. In the 6,000-square-meter small rule of Wang Hao, there are dance studios, indoor football stadiums, and his familiar cafes.
â—ŽThe charm that is revealed in the waste factory
Transforming an old factory into a creative park is not an "invention" of the Germans. As early as the 1940s, the American art elite began to enter SOHO (the most concentrated factory and industrial warehouse area in New York in the 19th century), which was later called “Artist Paradise†with low rent.
In Wang Wei’s view, the charm of the waste factory is that the contrast between history and reality, industry and art has created a fascinating artistic atmosphere.
Artistic sentiment has become one of the benchmarks for measuring the charm of the city. In 2003, the US Newsweek selected the “Top 12 World Citiesâ€, and the new style represented by the spatial remodeling of Beijing 798 was selected. The New York Times stated that “the emergence of the contemporary art SOHO district in the eastern suburbs of Beijing†is a comparison with the SOHO district of the New York Contemporary Artists Cluster. The French "Question" weekly also published an article entitled "New Beijing Has Come", which is considered to be one of the signs that China is waking up. In the words of Philip Dodd, former director of the British Centre for Contemporary Art, “798 has become one of the largest and most important brands in Chaoyang District of Beijing. From London to New York to Paris, everyone who cares about art is talking about 798.â€
After a detailed investigation of Beijing 798, Wang Wei discovered that the hardware of the white pigeon factory is better than Beijing 798.
Wang Wei said that the pigeons were built in 1953, using drawings provided by the Democratic Germans, with an investment of 150 million yuan, which is equivalent to the total investment of five Zhengzhou National Cotton Plants. It is the largest grinding wheel factory in the country and the world. The second largest grinding wheel factory. The well-designed workshops in the factory area, the exquisite façade treatment, and the overhead bridges connected between the factories show the style of Dongde industrial buildings in the last century.
â—Ž Fashion new landmark?
This Dongde industrial building covering an area of ​​more than 800 acres has also attracted the attention of more people of insight.
During the Zhengzhou two sessions in 2013, representatives of the Municipal People's Congress and CPPCC members proposed to the municipal party committee and the municipal government to use the industrial heritage to develop cultural and creative industries. The focus is on the abandoned factory of the Dove Group.
In October 2013, the Zhengzhou Municipal Government delivered an intention to carry out industrial heritage protection and cultural and creative park construction in the Baiyuan Abrasives Co., Ltd. area of ​​Zhongyuan District.
The information conveyed by the government is interpreted by the mind-minded people as a new business opportunity. On the evening of October 18 of that year, in the depths of the courtyard of the Second Grinding Wheel Factory in the West District of Zhengzhou City, the photographer Jiang Shun’s coffee shop began trial operation. He leased a 1,000-square-meter waste heat exchange station in the Ersha plant area and renovated it into a LOFT-style themed photography base.
“I have seen it here at a glance, and it is too similar to the cultural and creative districts of Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, etc. If one day can develop into a creative park, it will be a paradise for designers, artists and creative people!†Jiang Shun said.
After Jiang Shun and Wang Wei, Mr. Jia, a citizen of Zhengzhou, also rented a factory and set up his own photography studio, the 2 Sand Art Center. In the view of Mr. Jia, the huge heat pipeline, the high-traffic sand transport passage, the tens of thousands of square meters, the tall German-style factory building, the factory road composed of big cedar and French paulownia, was inundated by weeds. The railway line... all exudes the atmosphere of the big industrial era. These industrial heritages are deeply stimulating people's creative enthusiasm.
As the first settlers of the Baige Culture Industrial Park, Wang Hao, Jiang Shun and Mr. Jia have used this abandoned factory building as the future fashion landmark of Zhengzhou. But a serious problem is also in front of them, and their contract with the pigeons is only signed at the end of December 2015. That is to say, they have a fate with Zhengzhou fashion new landmarks, and it is likely to come to an abrupt end after a year and a half.
Only the signing of the mystery at the end of next year, the origin of the Baige Group will be relocated to Fuyang at the end of 2015. According to public reports in the media, in November 2013, the plant assets of Baige Group were handed over to Henan Guochuang Real Estate Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhengzhou State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. By the end of 2015, the landlords of Wang Hao will become Guochuang Real Estate.
Whether the future Guochuang Real Estate will renew the contract with Wang Hao is still unknown.
