Of course Wang Ye didn't know that the two men had arrived in Quancheng City on a military plane.
In the office of the director of Hongxing Machinery Factory, Wang Ye looked at the entire piece of manuscript paper daubed in front of him and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. What was recorded on this memo were exactly the key points for the chat after tomorrow's meeting. .
After finishing this work, Wang Ye stood up and went to the large conference room on the second floor of the office building. He found that the old factory director was having a meeting with a group of people. The smoke was like a fairyland on earth.
"How are you, old-timer? Are the reception arrangements confirmed?"
Wang Ye walked in, sat in his exclusive seat as the factory director, looked at the old factory director next to him and asked, and the production section chief next to him, with a bright and flattering smile on his face, handed Wang Ye a cigarette to light up in an unusually stupid way. It was done in one go, with such enthusiasm that Wang Ye couldn't resist it.
Obviously, after learning that the leaders of the ministries and commissions will come to inspect, Wang Ye's status in the machinery factory has once again been improved by leaps and bounds. After all, the reason why Red Star Machinery Factory can attract such a big leader is all thanks to Wang Ye!
"It's basically confirmed, but there is still one question that needs to be confirmed by Wang Ye."
"We saw you were busy just now, so we didn't bother you."
The old factory manager smiled and knocked the pot bag on the ashtray, then thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"It's tomorrow's welcome ceremony. We originally prepared the gongs, lions team and red flag team. Anyway, they were all used up from the July 1st celebrations a few days ago. It's easy to find them, and the lively ones are more impressive."
"But Wang Ye, do you want everyone to go to the door to welcome me?"
"After all, such a big leader came to inspect."
Wang Ye thought about what the old factory director said and then said:
"I don't think it's necessary. The leader is here to inspect the work. It's not good if we do it too grandly."
"Besides, we are a pragmatic factory. Everyone has been so busy recently. The machinery factory is busy producing gas tanks and steel pipe rockets, and the manufacturing factory is busy producing electric fans and washing machines."
"There is no time to waste. Why are you here to greet the leader? Besides, if you really come, it will make the leader dissatisfied. He feels that we pay too much attention to ostentation and face-saving projects and are not practical!"
"Besides, such a big leader won't care about these issues with us, so don't worry!"
In fact, the worries of the old factory director are not unreasonable. Although Director Liang said that there is no need to be too grand and normal reception is enough, in fact, everyone has no idea how to call it normal, because they have never entertained such a big leader in the past!
It won’t work if it’s too grand, and it won’t work if it’s too simple!
Since Wang Ye, the director of the factory, has made the decision, others naturally have no objections, and Wang Ye continued to add:
"However, if there are only a few of us there to welcome him, it will seem too deserted and not pay enough attention to the leader's visit. I think so!"
"Those who don't work tomorrow, especially women, children and the elderly, let them come!"
"In addition, in the morning, call a few young men to go to the back mountain to pick some beautiful wild flowers for us, bring them back neatly, and make them into bouquets and garlands. When the time comes, the leader will get off the car and find a few little girls to give them to us. past."
"This is not a superficial thing, and it does not affect our production. The leaders are also happy to see it."
"Maybe it can give us more batches of benefits!"
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present suddenly lit up. After imagining the scene, they felt that it was quite decent. They all nodded in agreement with a smile and said:
"Yes, yes! I think this is a good idea!"
"As expected, you still have to be the factory director. There are many ways to do this, one after another!"
"Hehe, that's for sure! The factory director has seen the world, can he compare with us?"
"Then I'll be in charge of the flowers. I'll take the women and boys to the back mountain early tomorrow morning. There are a lot of flowers behind us!"
"It has to be you, you are the women's director, you are in charge of this! Hahahahaha!"
In fact, Wang Ye doesn't like these formalisms, but he doesn't dislike them too much. As long as they don't go too far, they are still within the acceptable range. After all, this is called face project, to put it bluntly. It sounds like this is called human nature. Even if ordinary people interact with each other, they must give each other face, otherwise they will not have to interact with each other in the future, let alone top leaders.
Not to mention China, this is true in every country. This is the nature of society.
But in the end, because he didn't know which leaders were coming, Wang Ye himself didn't know what to do, so even if he didn't make a big deal, he still had to do everything in order to give his superiors face, and he couldn't act like a proud prince in white. , if you only bring the six giants of the machinery factory to greet you, or even don't welcome him, then you are being pampered and spoiled without giving face, and you will end up being criticized, which is unnecessary.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Then Wang Ye knocked on the table, and after everyone calmed down, Wang Ye continued:
"Now that the reception issue has been determined, let's discuss the reception process."
"The superior department has not confirmed the reception process with us, that is, our hosts are responsible for the arrangements, so we must control the rhythm and not let the leaders lead us. If something goes wrong, it will not look good."
"Is that right, everyone?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, everyone nodded solemnly, and then Wang Ye showed a smile and said:
"So, I'm going to hold a big military parade!"
"Since the leader is here to see it, let's give him a good look, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present widened in an instant. Everyone knew that the military parade was a ceremony only performed by the troops, and the weapons were displayed. If the machine factory did it, wouldn't it be exposed?
"What does Wang Yewan mean? Don't we have to pretend anymore?"
"A direct showdown with the superiors?"
Finally, the old factory director looked at Wang Ye and asked. Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Of course not. Our military parade is not a weapons parade."
"It's a grand parade of agricultural and firefighting equipment!"
"After all, this is what we do. When the time comes, we will form a square formation and let the leaders sit on the viewing platform. The square formation will carry our products and walk neatly from below."
"I think it's very good!"
In an instant, the eyes of everyone present lit up again!
The reason is very simple. Everyone has seen the military parade. There are TVs in the factories. They look so majestic and majestic. It’s so proud to see the soldiers holding weapons produced by their own factories!
But unfortunately, I can't be there in person, so now I have such an opportunity, there are leaders above me, and I have products in hand. Isn't this just right?
"Okay! I think it's okay!"
"Hahaha, I can't wait any longer!"
"Hey? But organizing so many people is not easy. I think we have to rehearse tonight!"
"Yes, yes, how about we go now? Director, what do you say?"
"I'll organize people to write slogans! Hahahahaha!"
Then a group of people couldn't restrain their excitement, and each received the task and left with smiles to organize manpower. Only Wang Ye was left sitting alone in the conference room, with the golden sunset shining in. Wang Ye suddenly began to look forward to tomorrow. .
Ten o'clock in the morning.
We were ready at the door of the machinery factory.
In fact, the whole thing is very simple. There are just dozens of large and small red flags planted on the ground, and various welcome slogans written on red paper. The rest are the equipment of the gong and drum team and the clothes of the lion dance. They are all placed there. , but the person is not here. After all, it takes a lot of time to drive from Quancheng, and it can only be reached in the afternoon.
Soon, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Ye and everyone else have already arrived at the door to wait. It is estimated that the time is almost up. Apart from Wang Ye and the bosses of the machinery factory, most of the people present are women, children, young men, old men and the like. of.
Anyway, the workers basically didn't come, either they were at work, and those who were not at work were arranged in the parade formation, but even so, there were at least 700 or 800 people greeted at the door.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's practice!"
With Wang Ye's voice, the scene instantly became lively, with drums beating, lion dances, and people shouting a warm welcome in unison, all holding flowers in their hands. A wave of flower picking activities in the morning almost brought everyone behind. The mountains are bald.
at this time.
"I'm coming!"
As a young man shouted from outside the gate, Wang Ye and others also heard the rumbling sound of engines, and immediately saw a convoy of jeeps, cars, and large trucks approaching!
"Hurry up!"
"Let's play music and dance!"
With Wang Ye's shouts, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic!
At this moment, Wei Qingshan and Zhou Jinlie, who were sitting in the car, naturally saw the red flag waving in the wind at the entrance of the factory, the busy gong and drum team, the lion dance team, and the welcoming crowds on the three floors inside and outside.
Seeing this scene, Director Liang, who was sitting with the co-pilot, breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wang Ye would be stubborn and if he was asked to come normally, he would do nothing. That would really not look good!
"What kind of show is this kid doing?"
"Isn't this formalism? It's not a festival, why are you doing this?"
In the car, it was obvious that the old man Wei Qingshan, who was a soldier, was very unhappy with this situation. When he saw the scene at the factory entrance through the car window, he couldn't help but said so unhappily, while the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him didn't care at all and smiled. Hehe said:
"Take a good look. Those who come are either children or old people, or they are female comrades."
"It's obvious that this kid is a thief! The workers are probably too busy to welcome us, so they found some women, children and old people to join in, and it saves a lot of face!"
Hearing what Zhou Jinlie said, Wei Qingshan looked at it carefully, and finally laughed and cursed:
"It's true! This kid has too many thoughts!"
"But if he is careless, hey! I think no matter how skilled he is, he can't handle this Red Star Machinery Factory!"
In the end, old man Wei Qingshan sighed with emotion, and the motorcade rumbled into the gate of the machinery factory, and finally stopped in an open space. As the door opened, a warm welcome came from outside!
"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!"
Accompanied by the cheers, the seven or eight-year-old girl standing next to her, holding a bouquet tied with a red headband or a large woven wreath, trotted forward.
"Hello grandpa! Hello uncle!"
When you see someone with gray hair, you call them grandpa, and when you see someone with black hair, you call them uncle. Then they wear garlands and present bouquets of flowers.
at the same time.
When Wang Ye saw these two people coming, he felt relieved. He strode forward, stretched out his hands and said:
“We welcome leaders and chiefs to visit and guide our work.”
"The Red Star Machinery Factory is full of glory!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, old man Zhou Jinlie, who was familiar with Wang Ye, burst into laughter, his eyes turned into slits, and with seven or eight garlands hanging around his neck, his head was about to be drowned, and he was laughing. said:
"Boy, you did a good job, you didn't embarrass me!"
The old man Wei Qingshan next to him had already carried the wreath under his arm, like a ribbon. He touched the wreath and seemed to have thought of something. With a look of emotion on his face, he glanced at the crowd around him, nodded in praise and said:
"Very good! Very good! Everyone seems to be very energetic and not decadent. Very good! Very good!"
"You really deserve the title of a pacesetter for reform!"
Wang Ye accepted all the compliments from these two people, and then said with a smile:
"You two are so impressed. This is just a small beginning."
"What are you still standing here for? Let's go! We've prepared a simple meal."
"You two haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat first!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help laughing again, and sighed loudly:
"A small start? What a big tone!"
"We just ate some dry food in the car, and we're not hungry yet!"
"I think you'd better take us to take a good look at your Red Star Machinery Factory first!"
Since the leader had asked for it, Wang Ye naturally had no objection. After a while, everyone, led by Wang Ye, came to the temporary viewing platform built last night. A hundred meters away on the left was an empty factory building. The door was closed at the moment. !
"Boy, what do you mean?"
After being led to the viewing platform by Wang Ye and sitting down, the two old men looked around curiously, and then old man Zhou Jinlie said this. On the contrary, old man Wei Qingshan seemed to be doing as the Romans do, and said with a smile:
"You don't care about him! Whatever he bothers with, let's just watch it, right?"
"I'm really curious about what he can do!"
"Hahaha!"
Wait until old man Wei Qingshan's laughter just stopped.
"Pop!"
Wang Ye clapped his hands.
Immediately, four young men ran over from the side holding poles and holding banners. On the red cloth, written in black wolf hair, "Warmly welcome and celebrate the visit of the leaders of the ministries and commissions to the Hongxing Machinery Factory for inspection and guidance and the Hongxing Machinery Factory's agricultural and fire-fighting equipment competition." Military Parade Ceremony".
Not even one line of red cloth was written on, but two were written on it. Four young men held up poles and ran to the opposite side of the viewing platform to use as a background board.
At that moment, the two old men and their entourage were stunned!
Without giving them time to react, Wang Ye grabbed the microphone prepared in advance and coughed lightly:
"The pacesetters are in place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four young men ran over and stopped fifty meters apart. They were neatly distributed in front of the viewing platform. At the same time, a welcome march began to play from the loudspeaker. On the faces of the two old men, there was a mix of surprise and curiosity. It’s time to look forward to it again.
A hundred meters away to the left, the warehouse door slowly opened, and thirty strong men were seen lined up in sixty-five rows. They walked towards the auditorium with neat strides and carried gas tanks!
Wang Ye shouted in an exciting broadcast tone:
"It's coming towards us."
"It is the heavy fire-fighting mortar phalanx of the Red Star Machinery Factory. They are marching to the exciting drumbeat and sonorous steps, carrying the star products of the Red Star Machinery Factory, and embarking on the great journey of earning foreign exchange for the country and forging ahead with reform and opening up."
