Chapter 208: Opening Ceremony
Back a month ago. Taurus Villa is almost no longer in business. It's been these two days. The door is closed. A heavily loaded guard was also added at the entrance. The bright bayonet on the gun was solemn to look at. It's not that they're not in business anymore. Rather, it is necessary to prepare for the upcoming reception mission.
This made many regular customers of Taurus Mountain Villa a little uncomfortable. It was not uncommon for them to encounter a time when Taurus Mountain Villa had an important reception mission before. However, it is generally limited to villas 1 to 5. Elsewhere is not affected. Not like this time. The entire lodge was closed. I can't help but speculate. What kind of big man is coming. will make the villa so nervous.
In a small conference room resplendent with gold. Hu Weipeng, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the General Office, personally convened the relevant personnel of the villa to explain the precautions in the reception work.
This Western Fair. Determine the central leadership to come. These include Chen Jiachang, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Xia Luyong, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Cai Yuanfeng, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Lou Dongbin, Vice Minister of Commerce, and Zheng Qishan, Secretary-General of the State Council for the Promotion of International Trade. Such a grand lineup is unprecedented. Therefore. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attach great importance to it. Hu Weipeng was specially appointed to be fully responsible for the reception work. And the place where the central leadership stayed. Naturally, it is Taurus Villa.
Attending the meeting were Jiang Jinfeng, director of the reception office of the provincial party committee and provincial government, Wang Hao, deputy director of the provincial reception office, general manager of Jinniu Villa, and Zhang Wenli, deputy general manager of Jinniu Villa. In addition, more than 10 roots were selected. Waiters who are specially responsible for serving the central leadership. Most of these waiters are in their twenties, fifteen or sixteen. Good looks. Sweet smile. And all are professionally trained. Skilled in business. Experience with multiple important reception assignments. Make sure you can make your leader feel at home.
Hu Weipeng's face was extremely serious. He has served as Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the General Office. The reception tasks I have been in charge of are not two at once. But it was never the time when so many big leaders came together. Especially Cai Yuanfeng, director of the National Development and Reform Commission. It is rare to go to the following provinces and cities for research. Not to mention attending the Western Trade Fair. Therefore. When he heard the news, he was a little incredulous.
Count the ministries and commissions of the country. The NDRC is definitely one of the most heavyweight departments. As responsible for formulating economic and social development policies. Macroeconomic regulation and control departments that guide the reform of the overall economic system. Since the period of the planned economy, it has had a special place in the government. It is even known as the "Little State Council". In many places, the so-called "running department money in". The vast majority of these ministries refer to the National Development and Reform Commission.
And from the State Planning Commission to the National Development and Reform Commission. Cai Yuanfeng has always played an extremely important role. I heard that it is extremely favored by the upper class. is a popular candidate for the next prime minister. For such a powerful figure. Hu Weipeng naturally has to treat it with a twelve-point spirit.
ββ¦β¦ This is a daunting political task. We have to overcome all odds to get it done. Service work must be done in detail. You have to think of what others can't think of. Do things well and thoroughly. Think about it every day. There are also some things that may have been overlooked. And also. Do more things and talk less. Take care of your own mouth. Don't say anything that should be said or shouldn't be said. Who's gone wrong. I can't spare him......" Hu Weipeng said very sternly. As he spoke, he glanced around the crowd. The sharp gaze of a knife made everyone's hearts sudden. They all bowed their heads.
In fact, what Hu Weipeng said is also a clichΓ©. Before every major reception work. Everyone will take the trouble to give advice. Many of them even sound calloused. But everyone still pretended to be interested. Or conscientiously record Secretary General Hu's important speech. Or listen. I didn't dare to show the slightest bit of interest.
After Hu Weipeng's meeting. I also personally went to various places in the villa for detailed inspections. On the leaders' diet, security, and furnishings in the rooms. Even the firmness of the mattress is an important indication. It's a matter of detail. And before that. Whether it's on the hill side. Or the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. All through various relationships and channels. The preferences of leaders have been well researched. In order to be able to do what they like. Maximize the satisfaction of leaders.
β¦β¦
November 22nd. It was an unusual day for Wuxi. The high-profile Western Trade Fair. The day is about to kick off.
Morning. The traffic in the vicinity of the convention center has been completely restricted. Three steps and one post. Five steps and one sentry. Unrelated people are not allowed to pass and approach. Nearby high-rise buildings are all guarded by special police. And the exhibition hall has long been emptied. In addition to being rigorously vetted. Except for exhibitor representatives and venue staff with special certificates. Not even a single fly can fly in.
The entrance of the exhibition hall. The black ground was full of people. And to be able to stand here. Except for the special services in charge of security. All of them are high-ranking officials in provinces and cities. Even a little lower level is not qualified to stand here. Everyone is still talking to each other. It seems that they are all excited to get close to the central leadership later.
And reporters from major media outlets across the country. A long time ago, a spear sprint had been set up at the door. Strive to get first-hand valuable information.
It was only about seven or eight minutes. Four or five black cars were escorted by police cars. Drove slowly. Some cadres said excitedly: "It's here." Here it is. β
Qiao Ruihua glanced at Yang Weiguo. I saw Yang Weiguo looking at the convoy from far and near expressionlessly. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. Qiao Ruihua knows. Yang Weiguo and Cai Yuanfeng have a very good personal relationship. Cai Yuanfeng was willing to condescend to participate in the Western Trade Fair. Most of it is because of Yang Weiguo's relationship. And Yang Weiguo. I want to take this opportunity to set off some kind of storm in Wuxi.
The cars are all reception cars of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. A slip of the red flag. Don't underestimate the red flag car. Red flags for some top-of-the-line configurations. In no way inferior to those good cars abroad. There are even some mistakes. It is used as a reception car. It is both atmospheric and unassuming. The most suitable.
The convoy came to a slow halt. Although there are a large number of security personnel on site. But a few men in black with grim expressions came down first. After four weeks of vigilant observation. The leaders in several cars came down one after another. These guys just showed up. Countless reels of film in the hands of journalists were murdered at once. The flashes are almost all in one. Everyone was a little excited. The vast majority of them have only seen the demeanor of these big leaders on TV. This is the first time I have seen a real person.
And Cai Yuanfeng, who got off from the third car. It is the focus of all media attention.
As the director of the National Development and Reform Commission. He is both high-profile and low-key. What is high-profile are some of his theories and guidelines. It is closely related to people's lives. Even every word he said will be analyzed by the media or experts in all aspects. Trying to decipher the implicit meaning. So as to control the country's major policies. It is no exaggeration to say. Even if he sneezes. It will be reflected in the price of goods.
And when it comes to low-key. That is, he rarely appears in public. They are rarely interviewed by the media. It seems to be covered with a veil of mystery. It's incomprehensible.
See Cai Yuanfeng. Yang Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with him.
Cai Yuanfeng: They arrived in Wuxi by special plane yesterday afternoon. Chang Hongran, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Yin Junxin, Acting Governor and other major leaders of the Provincial Party Committee all went to the airport to greet them. Yang Weiguo also accompanied him. After the welcome dinner that evening. Cai Yuanfeng also had an hour-long meeting with Yang Weiguo. But what was said. No one knows.
Chen Jiachang, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, also shook hands with Yang Weiguo with a smile. But nothing was said. It looks quite familiar with Qiao Ruihua. smiled and beckoned to Qiao Ruihua. said: "Little Joe." Meet again. β
watched Qiao Ruihua respectfully shake hands with Chen Jiachang. Yang Weiguo frowned. But soon it unfolded again. He'd heard about it a long time ago. The relationship between Chen Jiachang and the Su family is extraordinary. This time I came to Wuxi. And how can it not have the meaning of Qiao Ruihua. The confrontation above was fierce. Let the form be unclear below. But the more so. The more important it will be.
Immediately after the entry. It is the provincial leader of the western provinces. Among them, Secretary Chen of the Huachuan Provincial Party Committee personally led the team. And the worst of the other provinces also came with an executive vice governor. It can be seen that this time because of the presence of Chen Jiachang and Cai Yuanfeng, these central leaders. The scale and grade of this exhibition have been improved a lot. Otherwise. Formerly the Western Fair. It's nice to be able to go to a deputy governor.
Accompanied by Chang Hongran, Yin Junxin, Yang Weiguo and others. Chen Jiachang, Cai Yuanfeng and other central leaders, as well as leaders of provincial party committees in other provinces. I visited several key exhibition venues of the West China Fair with great interest. Among them is the booth of Wuxi High-tech Zone. And gave a high evaluation to the Western Trade Fair.
9:30 a.m. The opening ceremony was the beginning. After Chen Jiachang and Cai Yuanfeng delivered enthusiastic speeches one after another. Lou Dongbin, Vice Minister of Commerce, officially announced the official launch of the Western Trade Fair. As the hands of several leaders touched the starting ball at the same time. Flowers were splashed and drums were fired. The entire scene of the Western Trade Fair suddenly became a sea of joy.
Meanwhile. In the splendid multi-functional conference hall on the third floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center. The black press was full of people. The flash kept flashing. Reporters with cameras looking for the best angles. On the stage full of flowers. Huge backdrop. "Intel Wuxi Factory Signing Ceremony" is particularly dazzling.
Qiao Ruihua, who had just caught up from downstairs. Sit on the side in high spirits. Looking forward to that wonderful moment. As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Lin Chendui painstakingly invited Intel to settle in Wuxi. But I had to pinch my nose to let myself be in the limelight. Who calls himself the legal representative of Wuxi? As mayor. Signing of such a cooperation agreement. It is up to him to come forward.
And later. Who remembers that Intel was invited by Lin Chendu. Historical memory. It was the cooperation agreement signed by Joe Ruihua and Intel Corporation. In the future, mortals will mention Intel's Wuxi factory. will think of him Qiao Ruihua.
Look at the watch on your wrist. Qiao Ruihua has never felt that time flies as slowly as he does now. If you can. He wanted to turn the hour hand faster with his hand.
"Xiao Zhang. Someone from Intel Corporation is here. "After a while. Qiao Ruihua asked softly to his secretary. It's almost time. Why haven't I seen anyone from Intel yet? Didn't you say that foreigners were the most punctual.
Xiao Zhang said without complaints: "It's here." But it seems to be still in the lounge. These foreigners are also a little bigger. β
PS: After sending this chapter in a dangerous and dangerous way. Xiao Han wiped a cold sweat. It's not easy to feel emotional. It's been a busy June. I work overtime almost every day. I'm so tired every day. Ability to achieve continuous improvement. A goal of 100,000 words. Xiao Han has already done his best. It's hard to understand the hardships without experiencing them yourself. But it's okay anyway. Got through it. Of course. I would also like to thank all the friends who have always supported Xiaohan. It is with your support and encouragement. Xiaohan can get to where he is today step by step. Let's go for it in July.
