He has also thought about the content of the annual meeting. The first is a dinner party, preferably in the form of a buffet to reduce the feeling of official status.
There is not much etiquette in the buffet. Everyone can eat, drink and talk more casually, and the format is much more equal.
"I'm afraid you have also felt that our group has a tendency to become bureaucratic." Fang Fei talked about his feelings - he did not think that this kind of frankness would irritate Xiao Zishan - this person always presented a humble image, and probably listened to Treating harsh words of advice as a kind of cultivation. "Although there is an institution called the Senate and the idea that everyone is equal among senators, the leaders who occupy high positions are becoming more and more like leaders. There is always a little injustice in everyone's heart."
"Well, Zishan responded noncommittally, "Not bad. "
"So the concept of official positions should be downplayed at the annual meeting, and only one host should be selected to be responsible for the process of the annual meeting. There should be no leadership speeches." Fang Fei had already thought about it. This annual meeting must be relaxed and happy, not serious. As for the host, it is even more inappropriate to ask a veteran who holds a high-level public office to serve as the host. This will only ruin the atmosphere.
"I suggest hiring a lively girl, who will be very exciting to host."
"What about after eating?"
"Of course it's a theatrical performance." Fang Fei showed a complacent smile. He is very experienced in engaging in "new" entertainment.
He said mysteriously in a lowered voice: "There is a very interesting part of the show, the cosplay display."
"Oh? Did Zishan like "Tail Xing" and "Street Fighter" suddenly become energetic?
"That's right, I didn't expect Director Xiao to have research on cosplay." Xiao Zishan is already in his early thirties, but he didn't expect to know anything about it.
"Actually, I prefer "Life or Death"." Xiao Zishan continued to explain his views on cosplay in a serious manner, "When doing cosplay, one is to have a good figure, and the other is to not be afraid of exposure. With these two points, it's basically fine. Tong killed..."
"You are so knowledgeable." Fang Fei nodded in greeting, thinking that Director Xiao's cosplay concept was quite vulgar and too unrestrained. He has always maintained that cosplay must express the character's inner character and temperament.
However, for a planner who has participated in the company's live demonstrations at ajoy for many years, Xiao Zishan's words are not wrong. At most, they are too vulgar.
As for who will cosplay, Fang Fei has already thought about it. Female senators are of course the most suitable in terms of temperament, but there are not many of them, and most of them have boyfriends. In order to avoid trouble, Fang Fei decided not to work for them - although there were quite a few lively and beautiful girls among them. According to Fang Fei's observation of women, most of them would be happy if these girls were asked to perform cosplay. But there was a risk of upsetting their boyfriends - something he felt was too much to do. Life secretary has less to do with it.
"Isn't the temperament difference a bit big?"
"After training, the quality is still good." Fang Fei once attended a life secretary training class and believed that after a period of training, the life secretary's body, appearance, expression and temperament have been greatly improved, and it will be better to do some surprise training. Well behaved.
In the evening, there is an outdoor barbecue and dance party. The location is planned to be on the beach near the original Wu De's villa in Bopu.
Fang Fei further proposed that local large-scale gentry can also be invited to the annual meeting, which is equivalent to some companies holding annual meetings and inviting large customers. Further contact feelings. You can also fully demonstrate to them the beauty of the "Australian way of life" and encourage them to learn this way of life.
"I have no objection to letting some of the indigenous people who are friendly to us participate," Xiao Zishan said, "I'm just worried that some of the links are a bit shocking."
"According to the report from the Guangzhou station, people in the Ming Dynasty are no more conservative in terms of enjoyment than people in the 21st century." Fang Fei said, "Have you read the article "Report on the Private Lives of the Large Officials and Gentry in Guangzhou" written by Pei Lixiu?"
"No." Xiao Zishan seemed to remember that he had received this document, but there were too many things going on and he didn't have time to read it.
"In terms of our imagination, well, I'm afraid we may not be better than the rich people in the 17th century."
Xiao Zishan said, "Is the content of this report on the same level as the US Lewinsky Investigation Report?"
"All I can say is that the two are not the same."
"Yeah, then I want to take a closer look." Xiao Zishan said, "I agree with your annual meeting plan. Once the announcement is approved, we should get it done as soon as possible. Many elders are going to travel far away."
"No one will object to the public announcement. This is my specific plan, and there is also a catalog of required materials." Fang Fei hurriedly handed over the documents.
Xiao Zishan took it and looked at it: the various supplies, equipment, and materials needed were listed at the back of the document, totaling more than thirty pages.
"Good guy, there are so many things." Xiao Zishan smiled and signed, "I can't guarantee whether Wu De will give it to you."
"I'll get it, I'll get it. He can't make everyone unhappy."
After the annual meeting plan was approved, Fang Fei immediately started implementing it. He also has a few games on hand for "Sing the Psalm." He plans to prepare while competing and hold the annual meeting after the awards are given out after the finals next week.
He first went to Cibairen City and invited Pei Lixiu and Zheng Shangjie who were idle at home to help with the matter. The two of them were bored when they heard that there was going to be an annual party. They immediately became energetic and hit it off immediately.
"I have long wanted to hold an annual party." Zheng Shangjie's attitude was very positive. She said very generously: "The Feiyun can be used as the bar and stage center for the beach dance."
Feiyun is a luxury yacht chartered from the United States by the North American Branch. Because the North American Branch was the largest contributor to weapons and various contraband, the yacht was not returned to the public in accordance with the principle of expropriation. It has been used as a residence by several families of the North American Branch.
Because Feiyun is a luxury yacht, it not only has complete living facilities, but also has first-class entertainment facilities. However, in order to avoid the wrath of jealousy, people in the North American branch rarely use these facilities, but only maintain them regularly to ensure that they can be used.
"What good things are there on this ship?" Fang Fei became curious.
"There are a lot of good things," Zheng Shangjie laughed, "asking me to help organize the annual party is definitely the most correct choice in your life."
A small boat with black smoke making a "chugging" sound, pulling more than a dozen small boats, was moving slowly on the Nandu River.
Each boat was covered with a canvas covering. However, it can be seen from the exposed edges that it is filled with black coal.
This kind of fleet has not appeared for a long time. Its reappearance seems to be announcing something.
In the penultimate position of the fleet, there was a small boat with only a cloth tent spread out.
"After the battle, I suddenly felt that everything was different."
The person who said this was Tang Menglong, who was under the tent and was ordered to go back to report on his duties and attend the annual meeting.
He was lying on a wicker chair, staring at the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Nandu River. Tang Menglong continued his mining work in Jiazi Coal Mine throughout the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. Although he knew very well that the army would be defeated, and it was unlikely that the army would come to deal with his Jiazi coal mine, it felt uncomfortable to be alone behind enemy lines. Every day he talked to Lingao through the radio, but the indigenous radio operator obviously did not recognize his "homesickness". It was rare for the two of them to chat for a while with Shaozong next to the radio.
Since coal transportation has stopped, the scale of coal mining has been reduced a lot. In addition to having the miners practice every day, Tang Menglong also organized the miners to quarry, log, and carry out infrastructure construction. Although he himself always had Jiang Wenli by his side to warm his bed at night, he obviously had nothing to communicate with this girl from the countryside. After a long time, I felt very bored.
"Finally we can return to Lingao." Tang Menglong stretched his body. The life of mining coal in the wilderness was too uncomfortable. This time when I go back to report on my work, I must mobilize the head of the remote exploration department. He would rather go back to engage in field exploration than be the head of the Jiazi Coal Mine.
He glanced at Jiang Wenli, who was sitting on a small stool at his feet. The sixteen-year-old girl was dozing off with a sleepy look on her face. A few days ago, she hesitantly told him: She hasn't had her period for two months.
Probably pregnant? Tang Menglong thought, a little unbelievable - because in the past three years, no woman among the elders has been pregnant - of course it is true that most elders do not have women at all, but even among the elders who have wives or girlfriends, no one has said that There was news of pregnancy.
I didn't expect that this jackpot would actually fall on me. Tang Menglong was proud and excited. Thinking about it again, Jiazi Coal Mine is really boring. There is no entertainment after dark except for bed exercises. With such frequent "bed exercises", it would be difficult not to get pregnant. To be cautious, he decided to take Jiang Wenli back to Lingao for a checkup - he should have brought some pregnancy test strips if he had known earlier.
If you have a child, what name should you give it? Don't know if it's a boy or a girl? Tang Menglong looked at the girl who was sleeping on his knees. Thinking that he was about to have a child in this time and space, he felt like an unreal dream.
Haijia Terminal, which had been dormant for several months, returned to its usual busy schedule, and coal shipped from Jiazi gradually accumulated again, waiting for shipment. Chen Tong has already greeted him at the pier. In the past few months, Lin Baiguang specially dispatched Chen Tong to station at Haijia Wharf. In addition to guarding this important property, it also provided intelligence on the movement of a large number of official and military ships and personnel. Now his task is to continue to monitor the movements of the remnants of the army after they return to Qiongshan. At the same time, it ensures the continuation of coal transportation from Jiazi Coal Mine.
"How is the situation here in Qiongshan?" Tang Menglong asked as soon as he landed.
Before Tang Menglong left, he received instructions from the Lingao Intelligence Bureau on the radio: He was asked to listen directly to Chen Tong's oral report on the situation in Qiongshan County.
"Isn't this about Lin Baiguang?"
"This is Lin Baiguang's request." Wang Yan returned from the radio station, "It can be regarded as an inspection."
"Then what should I ask?"
"Ask whatever you want," Wang Yan said. "When it's over, just hand over the transcript of the conversation to the Intelligence Bureau."
Chen Tong simply said: "Go inside and talk."
When the group arrived at the main room of the fortress, all the irrelevant personnel exited, and only then did Chen Tong report the local situation. Jiang Wenli serves as the reporter.
Chen Tong said: After He Rubin and Zhao Ruyi retreated to Qiongshan, there were probably nearly 3,000 scattered officers and soldiers who retreated from the front one after another. I heard that many guards and soldiers from the army went directly back to their respective stations without returning to the camp.
"They did not dare to go back to Guangzhou. They only stayed in Fucheng for two or three days before taking their troops to Qianhusuo City in Haikou." Chen Tong said, "But now everyone in Fucheng knows that the army fought a big battle in Chengmai. defeat."
"Is the sea route still open?"
"It doesn't make sense." Chen Tong said, "I don't know if it's because I'm afraid that the governor will know or for some reason. The ports on Shenying's side are still sealed. Ships are not allowed to enter or exit. Only navy ships are patrolling outside."
"It's just a cover-up." Tang Menglong thought to himself, but the blockage of the sea route is a troublesome problem, "Is the six routes open?"
"It doesn't make sense either. We went to the Chengmai steering wheel to check very closely. Because a few days ago our people had appeared at the gate of Qianhusuo City in Haikou. They killed and captured dozens of patrolling soldiers, and also killed a general. Officer. The army was very nervous, and this time they mobilized rural braves in various counties."
But the country warriors are no longer as enthusiastic as last time - the last time the country warriors went on an expedition, they were so fierce that they followed the army to rob. However, the officers and soldiers suffered a great deal under Chengmai City. Not only did the country warriors suffer many casualties, but many of them were captured alive. These people were finally released, and of course they were unwilling to take risks again.
"Lingao has released the captured local warriors and guardsmen. Now they don't want to fight with us and are unwilling to send more troops. He and Zhao are at their wits' end. The morale of the army is shaken. Awesome." Chen Tong said with a joyful expression, "I heard that General Tang Shen is also having a hard time."
"Why?"
"Tang Shen has released all the captured people back. And this time his troops have the least damage. If you were Lao He, you would be suspicious."
"That's right. Dismissed him?"
"That's not true. They don't dare to do this - it will cause a mutiny, but Zhao Ruyi has personally gone to Baisha Water Village to take charge."
Tang Menglong was very happy and nodded repeatedly: "But it's a bit troublesome if the sea route is blocked."
"You need to rest for a while, and I will make arrangements right away. I will ensure that your ship leaves tomorrow."
"Didn't you say that ships are not allowed to enter or leave?"
Chen Tong said with a smile: "Nowadays, there are many people in Qiongshan County who are eager to establish relations with the Hai family."
It is no secret in Qiongshan that the Hai family has an affair with the Kun thief. Coal ships kept flowing between Qiongshan and Lingao. Everyone knew that the Hai family was doing business with the Australians in Lingao.
When the army invaded Lingao, this kind of business naturally stopped. Hai Shuzu was so frightened that he hid at home and did not dare to come out because he was suspected of being a "Tongkun". He and Zhao's staff also spent some money on him. Fortunately, the Hai family was highly respected in the local area, and ordinary officials did not dare to do anything too extreme to the Hai family. It was only then that Hai Shuzu experienced the Chengmai victory peacefully.
With the arrival of the defeated army, news of the Kun thief's military power and terrifying combat power spread in all directions. Hai Shuzu suddenly became the most popular figure in Qiongzhou City. Although the prefect and county magistrate did not come to visit him in person due to official reputation, they all sent their masters to talk with him secretly. As for the local gentry, they are not so reserved - since the Kun thieves have an extremely strong army and defeated the army gathered by the government and the whole province in another battle, with this momentum, I am afraid that the Australian army will soon The troops arrived at the capital of Qiongzhou.
No one thought that He Rubin's remaining few thousand defeated soldiers would be able to withstand the Australian army. Since they could not resist, in order to avoid the destruction of both the enemy and the enemy after the arrival of the Kun thieves, the local gentry naturally had to carry out activities to "maintain the locality".
This essentially capitulation was done semi-publicly and in no way seemed inappropriate to anyone. Zhao Ruyi and others were deeply afraid of provoking a "civilian uprising" and did not dare to pursue the case. He Rubin's confidants were simply sent to take over the defense of various city gates in Qiongshan County, and to check the people entering and leaving.
"But even so, the threshold of the Hai family has been stepped down by people giving gifts and visiting recently." Chen Tong had a proud smile on his face, "This battle has given me a high prestige." He continued Huihui reported: The five small traders who were originally beheaded as a sacrifice to the flag were secretly exhumed by the Qiongshan County magistrate a few days ago. The bodies and heads were combined into one, and they were put into coffins and buried.
"This Ming official is probably afraid of war criminal trials." Tang Menglong said with a smile.
Chen Tong didn't understand what a "war criminal trial" was, but the meaning of the other party's actions was clear: "Officials are also afraid. I heard that the prefect and county magistrate are discussing secretly every day, but I don't know what the content of the discussion is."
"Can I find out the content?"
"Gao Di is thinking of a way." Chen Tong said, "I think we are just talking about how to save their lives and Wu Sha."
Chen Tong also reported that the price of rice in Qiongshan County has skyrocketed recently. Not only the large gentry households are stocking up on grains, but also the large gentry households and merchants in Wenchang, Ding'an and other places are also buying rice - Qiongzhou's own food self-sufficiency is just right. , there is not much production, and Qiongshan is the gateway for the import and export of goods. Everyone suddenly gathered here to buy rice, obviously because they were afraid that the Kun bandits would launch a large-scale siege.
"The army and the government are also requisitioning food. They are probably also afraid of a siege."
Tang Menglong thought that the morale here in Qiongshan was fluctuating and people were in panic. If the field army takes advantage of the situation, they will definitely be able to occupy Qiongshan County in one fell swoop. I just don’t know what the executive committee thinks? Such a good opportunity should not be missed.
Tang Menglong rested for a night at Haijia Wharf, and the next day he boarded the ship Chen Tong arranged for him - a coal ship. Although large-scale transportation could not be resumed, sporadic transportation by a single ship could go smoothly. Although Tang Yunwen had no intention of surrendering to the enemy, his subordinates did not care about the change of masters. What's more, now it's just a show of goodwill, and it's just two boats. v! ~!
