What is the reason for the change of Beijing 798 Art District? Be specific, come on!

That's all oranges can find

From June, 5438 to February, 2000, the original six companies, namely 700, 706, 707, 7 18, 797 and 798, were integrated and reorganized into Beijing Qixing Huadian Technology Group Co., Ltd., which was the first batch of high-tech enterprises recognized in Beijing and Electronic City Park. Due to the reorganization of the original six factories, some properties are idle. In order to make full use of this part of the property, Qixing Group rented out these factories one after another. In February, 2002, Robert, an American, rented a 120 square meter Huimin canteen here and transformed it into a company with a front shop and a back office. Robert works as an art website in China. Some people who often associate with him take a fancy to the spacious space and low rent here, and rent some factories as studios or exhibition venues. The "snowball" of the "798" artists group rolled up like this. Because some factories belong to the typical modernist Bauhaus style, the whole factory has good planning and unique architectural style, which has attracted many artists to work and settle down, and gradually formed today's 798 art district.
