Chapter Ninety-Four: You Can't Go Out!
After the venue is set up, the time is just right, and the venue staff informs the village of the entry time, and the people who participate in the opening ceremony can be invited.
When choosing the venue for the opening ceremony, the comrades of the organizing committee provided two plans after on-the-spot investigation, one was to set up a stage in the center of the gymnasium to limit the number of participants. The advantage of this is that it is safe, and there is no need to worry about the weather, but the disadvantage is that the venue is small, the number of participants is limited, and it is a closed space, which is not atmospheric enough and lively enough. Li Yi vetoed the plan without even thinking about it.
Another plan is to take the steps of the city gymnasium as the center, the whole sports "wide" field as the venue, the sky is wide, do not have to worry about not accommodating the audience, as for the stage, just to the wide corridor at the gate of the gymnasium as the stage, the corridor and the "wide" field are different from more than a dozen steps, the stage is just right, not only to save the cost of the stage, but also to shelter the wind and rain.
There was also a proposal to go to the auditorium of Jiangnan University near the gymnasium to hold the opening ceremony, but Li Yi vetoed it, although the place is not far away, clean and safe, it is indeed a good place to hold meetings, but bringing wine culture into the ivory tower, this is something Li Yi cannot tolerate.
Li Yi agreed to the second plan.
Fortunately, the weather is beautiful and there is no rain today. None of the extra canopies borrowed by the organizing committee came in handy.
When determining the number of participants and the number of participants, Li Yi had another big dispute with the members of the organizing committee.
Most of the members of the organizing committee agree with a method, which is also the usual method used in the past to hold mass meetings, that is, to select people from municipal organs, enterprises and institutions, and each unit will issue five to ten seat tickets, and the total number of people will be controlled at about three or four hundred, which is conducive to unified arrangement and management. A cordon is set up on the perimeter, and unrelated people are not allowed to come in to participate. This method is naturally the safest and safest, and it is also convenient to manage the discipline of the venue, because the people of the organs, enterprises and institutions are people who often hold meetings, and they are very clear about the various routines of the meeting, and there will be no abnormal situations.
But Li Yi feels that this approach is too fake, not like a wine fair, but like a government work conference, and last year's wine promotion meeting has become a twin brother carved out of a mold!
Li Yi believes that the wine fair is of industry quality and private quality, although it is led and hosted by the government, it must be based on the masses to go deep into the masses, take root in the masses, and naturally welcome the masses to join.
After some rhetoric, what Li Yi was able to win was to allow the citizens to stand on the periphery as spectators, but the people sitting in the center still had to be selected from each unit.
It's also a compromise. Li Yi knew that it was already good to be able to do this, so he agreed to this plan.
The "representatives" elected by various units took their seats one after another.
Seeing such a scene, Li Yi sighed lightly, shook his head, and thought to himself, what is the difference between this situation and the government work report? Routine, enthusiastic leadership speeches, mechanical numbness, ignorant audience, this is still a gap with the wine fair in their minds!
Li Yi is thinking, if this wine expo can be successful, will next year's wine expo be handed over to the wine industry organization? The government only needs to supervise from the sidelines, and perhaps only then can a real wine fair come out.
Li Yi walked out of the venue and waited outside for the leaders of the municipal party committee to arrive, and then entered together.
In the open space to the west of the sports field, there are several rows of small stalls neatly arranged, and citizens who like snacks and shopping for toys are shopping there.
Li Yi was standing with his hands in his hands, looking around, and a figure ran over and hit Li Yi's body just in time.
Li Yi subconsciously stretched out his hand, the tentacles were soft and elastic, and when he took a look, he saw a pure girl with long hair bumping into his arms, and a very strange fragrance penetrated into his nose.
Wang Jinbao and Su Xinliang saw it not far away, and wanted to step forward, but when they saw that it was a girl, they relaxed, just looked here, and didn't come over immediately.
"Miss, are you alright?" Li Yi helped her up, let go of his hands, and asked.
"Someone is chasing me!" The girl pointed to the place where she came from, her eyes were a little frightened, perhaps too surprised, and the words she said were a little unclear.
"Who's chasing you?" Li Yi's first thought was that she had encountered a thief or robbery, and when she looked in the direction of her finger, she saw that there were crowds of people, and she couldn't see any special people at all.
"I might get rid of them!" The girl lΓΉ gave a sweet smile and said in very blunt Chinese: "Someone tried to arrest me just now!" β
Li Yi frowned and asked, "Who wants to arrest you?" Is it the bad guy? β
"I don't know." She patted XiΕng with one hand and said, "I was shopping alone just now, and there were a few men who wanted to catch me in the car, and I ran desperately." β
Li Yi saw at this time that she was a foreigner, so he asked tentatively, "Are you Thai?" β
"Hmm!" She nodded, "How do you tell?" Do I not speak Chinese well? β
"Hehe, you're saying it well, but I can see it. What do you call it? β
"My name is Marsie." She smiled playfully.
Li Yi looked at her a few times, seeing that she was dressed and her temperament and demeanor were different, his heart moved, and asked, "Are you here with Princess Paya?" β
She was slightly surprised: "Well, do you know Princess Paya?" β
"Oh, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." Li Yi was really a little puzzled in his heart, thinking that she was a Thai, and someone would want to arrest her in the car? Traffickers? The vicinity of the gymnasium is heavily guarded, and the police force is several times that of usual, it is impossible for anyone to have such a big courage to dare to commit crimes here against the wind, right? Who did this man named Marsie offend? What about the Thai princess? There won't be any danger, right?
"What about Princess Paya? Where is she? Li Yi asked, "Did they also come to the venue?" β
"Hee-hee, I won't tell you!" Marcy smiled softly, waved her hand, and left.
"Hey!" Li Yi shouted, but Marcy quickly ran away.
Su Xinliang walked up and asked, "Li Shuji, what's wrong?" β
Li Yi said: "Go and find out, whether Thailand's Paya princess has come!" That one was Thai just now, and she said she was being chased and caught! β
Su Xinliang said: "Li Shuji, the provincial and municipal leaders have already come and are ready to enter!" β
Li Yi snorted: "You go to check the matter of Princess Chapaya, and report back to me later." β
A number of leaders from the National Brewing Industry Association came to this side together with provincial and municipal leaders.
The security personnel of the venue pulled out a passage with a cordon to welcome the leaders of the central government and provincial and municipal leaders to enter.
The loudspeaker of the venue came out of the melodious silk and bamboo music, which is the famous folk tune of Jiangnan Province, "Jiangnan Good".
In this beautiful melody, the wine fair ushered in heavyweight leaders at all levels.
The comrades from the central government include He Liwen, chairman of the National Liquor Industry Association, Zhang Qi, vice chairman and secretary general, Huo Yongming, secretary general of the liquor branch, and other comrades.
Leaders from the province include Song Zhengming, secretary of the provincial party committee, Duan Fangfang, vice governor and other comrades.
Dai Yaochen, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Zhenggui, mayor, Pei Gongliang, deputy secretary of the Party and the masses, Chen Juntong, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lu Jianzhong, director of the United Front Work Department, Li Yi, deputy secretary-general, Ji Changze, secretary general of the municipal party committee, Bao Jian'an, secretary of the Dongcheng District Party Committee, Xia Kun, executive vice mayor, Lan Chaoping, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Luo Xiangchen, director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Qu Rou, director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Deng Changjiang, commander of the Municipal Military Division, followed the leaders of the provincial party committee.
When the leaders entered the venue, the audience burst into continuous, warm and orderly applause, as if well-trained soldiers were walking in the right direction.
At this time, Li Yi understood the good intentions of the members of the organizing committee, and invited comrades from these organs, enterprises and institutions to come, how many things could be saved! If there were ordinary citizens sitting here, they would not welcome these leaders with such neat and warm applause.
Song Zhengming walked in the front, and when he saw the two rows of banquets, Haha smiled and said, "Oh, have you seen it?" The comrades at the Wine Expo were afraid that we would not have breakfast, so they prepared snacks for us! Well, what a strong aroma of wine! Comrades, this is a wine fair! What does the Wine Expo do? It's drinking, I usually drink, I have a wife at home, and I have a secretary general at work, so today I can be considered to be in the right place, the wine fair, isn't it just for us to open our bellies and drink? Hehe, we have to set up a rule today, anyone who sits on the table today can't walk out! As he spoke, he waved his hand angrily.
Duan Fang echoed and said with a smile: "Who dares not to follow the rules set by the Song Shuji?" Comrades, don't smile when you are drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people are back in the ancient and modern wine fields? Whoever isn't drunk today is not allowed to leave! β
He Liwen said: "There is nothing good in life, only greedy for things in the cup!" Today I came to Jiangnan Province, met so many rich friends in wine, and had a great pleasure in my life, and drunk, drunk! β
Song Zhengming nodded and said, "This is a bit of the momentum of the Wine Expo!" Not bad, that's good! β
Duan Fang said with a smile: "Yes, the ancients had a Yaxing with curved water, are we considered a wine banquet today?" There is also a bit of the elegance of the ancient benevolent! This is all the credit of Comrade Li Yi! β
"Comrade Li Yi, well, well done!" Song Zhengming seemed to be in a good mood, and made a comment with a smile.
Dai Yaochen looked at the crowded sports field, stared at Li Yi again, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth. I thought that this doll "book" is really capable! It's only been less than a month, and it's actually drummed up such a large-scale wine fair.
It's a pity that such a talent is always against himself!
When he heard that the leaders spoke so highly of this wine fair, his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.
