garden.
It was a sea of people.
The first day of the Investment Promotion and Culture Festival officially kicked off. Half of the county's staff were brought here to work overtime. Zhang Dongfang and people from the Investment Promotion Bureau entertained investors, people from the Cultural Bureau were responsible for publicity work, and people from the Public Security Bureau Comrades patrolled everywhere to maintain order, while people from the county party committee office and county government office appeared at various posts to check for deficiencies. Some helped sell tickets, some helped clear the venue, and some helped move things.
The atmosphere was fiery.
It feels like a New Year temple fair.
"Secretary! Secretary! Secretary Dong!" someone shouted at the top of his lungs.
Dong Xuebin heard it and walked through the crowd, "What's wrong?"
It was a cadre from the county government office. He panted and said: "County Magistrate Zhang asked me to find you. Someone among the investors wants the celebrity's autograph. Magistrate Zhang can't make the decision. After all, we don't give them appearance fees. It’s really not appropriate to ask celebrities to sign autographs and take pictures, so the county magistrate asked for your opinion.” After saying that, he pointed over there and said, “The investors are over there, eating our province’s special snacks.”
"Let's go first." Dong Xuebin stepped forward.
The cadres from the county government office quickly opened the way and helped Secretary Dong to face the crowded crowd and protected him all the way to the two rows of food stalls.
"Lao Zhang." Dong Xuebin called.
Zhang Dongfang, who was accompanying the investor, immediately turned around and came over to greet him: "Xue Bin."
Dong Xuebin asked: "How is the project introduction? Does everyone have investment intentions?"
"The project lists have been distributed and introduced, but many investors are not here. As soon as they come over, they want to take photos with celebrities and sign autographs." Zhang Dongfang also has a headache. "Fortunately, everyone is willing to invest. It is still very big. As soon as the news was broadcast yesterday, China Merchants Bureau contacted several investors, namely the three real estate developers who got off the plane in the first wave. They all expressed their intention to invest, just to see if our preferential policies can It cannot be given to their psychological expectations. There are also two other investors who have signed letters of intent. They may have been optimistic about the projects in our county for a long time. The arrival of the star lineup this time has also increased their investment in our county. I had the confidence to sign the contract without any hesitation. Although the amount was not very large, just over 10 million for several projects, it was at least a good start.”
Dong Xuebin nodded slightly, "Okay."
Over there, an investor said: "Hey, where is Secretary Dong?"
"Brother Dong, are you here? Can you get us the autographs of some celebrities? Haha, I'm not star-struck, but my son and niece called me last night and gave me an order. They must give us the autographs. They want autographs. In our family, my son has a higher status than me. He is the leader, haha. "A Northeastern investor who had a good chat with Dong Xuebin before and even called him brother-in-law spoke.
"Secretary Dong, I also want to take a photo with Teacher Zhou."
"Is it convenient for you here? If possible, can I arrange it for everyone?"
Dong Xuebin pondered for a moment and said to them: "I'm sorry, everyone, you may not be aware that celebrities are not hired by our county with money. They are not given a penny of appearance fees. It's just that we rely on an old face. I came here as a charity performance because I asked for it, so taking a group photo is a bit... um, but signing autographs is okay, I can go and organize it."
"No appearance fee?"
"A signature is fine too."
"Yes, a signature is enough."
"Yeah, let's not make it difficult for Secretary Dong. The celebrities are here to perform for charity, and it's really not very particular to let them work for photos and so on."
Investors are also very considerate, and some investors even pondered in their hearts. They didn't pay a penny, so they attracted so many celebrities just based on face? This Jiao Neighbor County is really good and has a solid foundation. Where does Secretary Dong come from
Dong Xuebin picked up the phone and walked away, calling his secretary Su Yan, "Hey, Xiao Su, are you with the celebrities? Are you all there?"
It was too noisy and the voice was very low. Su Yan could only shout into the phone: "No one is here, only Chen Ying, Teacher Zhou and others. Some celebrities have gone back."
Dong Xuebin said: "Okay, you can ask everyone for some signatures. I can use them here."
Su Yan snorted, "Secretary, is this... is this appropriate?"
"You just say what I said. Of course, this is not mandatory. If you are willing, you can sign. It doesn't matter if you don't want to." Dong Xuebin said.
Su Yan said: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
"After it's done, you can find someone to come to the food plaza and give the things to County Magistrate Zhang." After Dong Xuebin finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned around to find Zhang Dongfang, "Old Zhang, I've asked someone to arrange it. I'll be here soon to sign the signatures." , I don’t care, you can make some arrangements here.”
Zhang Dongfang said: "No problem, you are busy with your business."
Dong Xuebin had a lot more things to do than Zhang Dongfang. After the rescue here, he hurried to the entrance of the park. It has been an hour since the park opened, and most of the accumulated crowds should have been evacuated. Basically, those who queued up before The first wave of people entered the park. Dong Xuebin wanted to check the passenger flow situation again, but he was not reassured. It didn't matter. Dong Xuebin suddenly got a big head.
The queue of people actually filled the door again!
Five to six thousand people have already entered the venue, why is it still so crowded
Chang Lin, the director of the Public Security Bureau over there, was leading people to direct the scene. When he saw Dong Xuebin coming, Chang Lin turned around and said, "Secretary, there are too many people."
Dong Xuebin said: "Why hasn't the passenger flow decreased?"
"I don't know either. One batch after another comes in. It's a steady stream. If this continues, there will probably be tens of thousands of people before the party even starts." Chang Lin said.
"We can't go on like this." Dong Xuebin thought carefully for a moment and said, "Old Chang, I'll leave this to you. You and the comrades from the Public Security Bureau have to worry about it. Once the passenger flow exceeds 100,000, ticket sales must be restricted. Absolutely not If people are allowed in like this, it will be okay for the Central Park to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but that is only theoretical. It is impossible for everyone to stand scattered in the park. There must be some centralized places, such as the podium at the party. If hundreds of thousands of people are to pile up nearby, they will definitely not be able to stand, and something may happen.”
Chang Lin said: "Limited to 100,000?"
"Yes, 100,000 people, no more than 150,000." Dong Xuebin still underestimated the passenger flow, so he could only make temporary adjustments now.
Chang Lin also smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, I will try my best to limit the passenger flow here. Alas, I am confused. How many people are there in our county? Why are there so many people here today?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Many of them are from out of town, and they all came for the party."
"Yes, the celebrities who came this time are too smart." Chang Lin sighed with emotion. The neighboring county has never been so lively.
One hour…
Two hours…
three hours…
Half past eleven.
The passenger flow of Central Park has exceeded the 40,000 mark. This number is still growing, but the growth trend has also slowed down. Of course, I also know that this is only temporary. We will wait until everyone has finished eating at noon and wait until the afternoon cultural evening party. Before the event is about to begin, there will definitely be a surge in passenger flow. Judging from the current situation, 100,000 people are absolutely unstoppable. Everyone is too enthusiastic.
It's time for lunch.
Zhang Dongfang led the investors out of the side door. Later, Dong Xuebin also led many celebrities and some staff members to drive out of the side door avoiding the crowd, and went to the restaurant they designated for dinner. Yes, it was the meal and drinks that they had agreed on yesterday. All free hotels.
Celebrities are used to this kind of scene, and they don't take it seriously at all. They are experienced in the field, and they eat well while chatting, and some are still laughing and discussing the evening's performance.
But the comrades in Jiao Neighbor County have never experienced such a huge battle. Every one of them was very tired. Some staff even lost their shoes when they were trampled on. When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked their family members to send them shoes. Each one was more tired than the other. Embarrassed, even a little frightened.
"You almost threw me just now."
"What do you mean? I've lost all my shoes."
"It's scary. There are too many people here. It's only the morning. What should we do in the afternoon?"
As soon as Dong Xuebin, who had eaten with the celebrities, came out, he heard the voices of Jiaolin County staff in other private rooms next to him. He also knew that everyone had worked really hard today. The battle today was indeed a bit big, which made many people nervous. Not very comfortable with it. As for why Dong Xuebin doesn’t feel uncomfortable, it’s because Dong Xuebin was born and raised in Beijing. In the past, his family would go to Tiananmen Square every May Day, which was almost a routine. , the battles at Tiananmen on May 11th are obviously much bigger than here. It can no longer be described as a sea of people. You can’t go where you want to go, you can only follow the crowd, wherever the crowd goes, Where can you go? Even if you want to stop and rest for a while, you can't. There are thousands of people behind you squeezing you and you can't stop. Therefore, Dong Xuebin has seen many battles like this, and naturally there is no fuss among the staff in Jiao Neighboring County.
Ring ring ring.
the phone is ringing.
It was deputy secretary Wei Zhixuan who called, "Secretary, I am Old Wei. Another investor here has just contacted us and offered to come to our county's investment culture festival for investment inspection. I have already sent people to the airport and Picked up at the train station.”
Dong Xuebin said: "How many people are there?"
Wei Zhixuan said cheerfully: "There are more than 70 people we contacted today. Counting the new ones who contacted us last night, there will probably be about 150 new people coming today or tomorrow. If we give a lead time, it will not be more than 200 people." The problem is, counting the 100 investors who came before, it’s a certainty that there will be 300 investors, and the amount of investment this time will definitely break our historical record!”
"Okay!" Dong Xuebin also clenched his fists. RS
