Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 190 The salute is actually an anti-aircraft gun?
In fact, based on Cao Zhiqiang's original intention, he didn't want to make a fuss about the opening ceremony of the publishing house.

The reason is very simple, one is too troublesome, and the other is not worth it.

It's too troublesome and easy to understand. You need a lot of things for the grand opening ceremony, and you even have to prepare a speech. It's too troublesome.

As for the unworthy, the literal meaning is that Cao Zhiqiang thinks that there is no need for a new publishing house with only a dozen people and no serious publications.

That's right, the style of the publishing house is really high, and it looks really powerful, and ordinary people can't do it.

But when you really enter this circle, you will find that, in fact, it is just a publishing house, which is nothing special.

In fact, there are so many publishing houses in China at this time, and there are countless publishing houses in just one place in the capital.

Basically, as long as it is a public institution or a state-owned enterprise, it can apply for a publishing house, and generally speaking, it will be approved.

As for these publishing houses, except for some established large publishing houses, most of them are small publishing houses with five or six people, or seven or eight people.

Calculated in this way, Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house with more than a dozen people is quite large in scale.

But no matter how big you are, you are just a small unit with a total number of no more than fourteen people.

For such a small unit with no more than [-] people in total, the grand opening ceremony was too much, and Cao Zhiqiang himself felt embarrassed.

Therefore, a low-key opening, where everyone gathers to eat and drink, is the most in line with Cao Zhiqiang's expectations, and he thought so at the beginning.

However, Yu Deli, who has been appointed editor-in-chief and deputy general manager, Yu Deli, vice president, doesn't think so.

According to Yu Deli, although their publishing house is small, they still need to make a big deal of it.

This is what Yu Deli said. He said that for other small publishing houses, a low-key start is indeed good, but it does not apply to Cao Zhiqiang.

The reason is that Cao Zhiqiang is different from those newly opened publishing houses. He is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, and his position is too important.

At this time in China, there is still a lot of emphasis on seniority.

As far as the publishing house is concerned, a 19-year-old general manager and vice president like Cao Zhiqiang has never been heard of since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang wanted this publishing house to be stable in the future, and would not be easily troubled by a group of ghosts and snakes, he had to make a big deal and show his strength.

In addition, this is also a good opportunity, an opportunity to gather and manage contacts.

According to Yu Deli, let Cao Zhiqiang take this opportunity to invite all the leaders he can invite. It would be best if he could invite the big leader behind him, even if the big leader just came to show his face. .

In addition, it is best to invite the first and second leaders of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, as well as other leaders known to the yamen.

Not only did he need to invite the leaders of various units that Cao Zhiqiang knew, Yu Deli would also search his circle of friends and try to invite all the celebrities in the circle.

In this way, even if Hongguang Publishing House does not have any publications yet, its name will become popular and remembered by many people, and it will not be regarded as a corner, a small dispensable unit.

As for the price, it is nothing more than spending more money, but this is not a problem at all for Cao Zhiqiang.

In other words, compared with the money spent, the hidden benefits such as the connections gathered and the popularity gained are the most important.

Cao Zhiqiang was right when he thought about it, what he said made sense.

Furthermore, Yu Deli also volunteered, saying that he was solely responsible for the handling of the opening ceremony, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't need to worry about it.

There are only two things that Cao Zhiqiang needs to worry about, one is to inform the talented people he knows, and the other is to pay for it.

Ever since, Cao Zhiqiang provided the money, Yu Deli provided the staff, and the opening ceremony of a publishing house was held in this way.

The opening day was a Sunday.

The reason for choosing this day is also very particular.

In addition to finding someone to calculate and say that this day is a good day for opening, Sunday itself is also very important.

Because on Sunday, most of the units are off, and those leaders and so on are free to attend the opening ceremony, without having to ask for leave.

Maybe the godmother Yu Deli found was really kind. On the day of the actual opening, it was a very good sunny day, and the sky was even blue.

This is very rare in April in Beijing at this time.

Because in the early 80s, the Three-North Shelterbelt Project had just begun, and the Sebahan Project had not yet started, so the capital was still plagued by sandstorms every year, and the sandstorms in the capital were most violent in March and April every year.

Coupled with the problem of industrial pollution, even though Cao Zhiqiang has not encountered a large or very large sandstorm since April, the sky in the capital is rarely blue, and it is usually gray.

Under such circumstances, the opening day of Hongguang Publishing House was sunny with bright blue sky and white clouds. This is a rare good weather and a good sign.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, all kinds of people came to the site of the opening ceremony of Hongguang Publishing House, which is the office space of Hongguang Publishing House.

When everyone came here, balloon ribbons and banners had been arranged in advance, and a simple stage was also set up.

In addition, some performing arts troupes, such as Yangko troupe, children's performance troupe, and Beijing opera troupe, have invited many.

In that case, it was similar to a high school sports meeting.

It is also due to the fact that Cao Zhiqiang bought a lot of land at the beginning, and the place is big enough, otherwise, it would be really difficult to arrange so many people.

Of course, not all the guests were leaders of various parties. In fact, most of them were the family members of the leaders, as well as their relatives and friends.

Thinking about it, there is a shortage of entertainment in this day and age. Who wouldn't like to attend the opening ceremony of a publishing house, not to mention watching a movie for free, but also eating and drinking for free?
Even if this place is a bit remote, if you want to go out of the city, everyone is willing to come.

Naturally, to join, you must have an invitation card. Without an invitation card, you can't come in to eat and drink.

For this reason, Cao Zhiqiang also found the security department of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and asked the security department to send out several security personnel to stand guard with guns to maintain order.

After all, Hongguang Publishing House is also a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, so there is nothing wrong with sending people from the security department to stand guard and maintain order.

And the people from the security department were also very happy to come. After all, it was a day off. It would be nice to have money, watch a show, and eat and drink for free.

For this reason, almost all the people in the security department were dispatched, fearing that they would be left behind and that they would not get any benefits.

There are so many security staff with live ammunition here, of course there is no problem with the order on the scene.

However, it is also because of the presence of a large number of security personnel with live ammunition that the atmosphere here is a bit strange, or a bit serious.

Anyway, the people who came here were afraid to show their grandeur, and they could only speak in a low voice. Under the guidance of the security staff, they sat down on the stools arranged in advance in the guest area and waited for the opening ceremony. start.

From eight o'clock in the morning, people began to enter the factory one after another, until it was almost nine o'clock, people still kept coming in.

But the people who came later basically didn't have invitations, they just wanted to fish in troubled waters, eat and drink, so they were quickly blocked by the conscientious security staff.

Finally, the time came to nine o'clock.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, twelve young men were divided into two groups, and at the same time they fired two salutes that had been prepared in advance.

But after seeing the two salutes, Cao Zhiqiang was immediately stunned.

This shit is a salute?

Whose salute is like this?
These are clearly two single-barreled anti-aircraft guns!

Only after I asked Yu Deli next to me did I know that this is really an anti-aircraft gun—a Type 55 37mm anti-aircraft gun!
You can play airplanes on the top, and chariots on the bottom. Domestic products are fine products, and the militia loves them most!
And the so-called salute shells fired by these two anti-aircraft guns are not fireworks shells, but empty shells for the daily training of the militia!

As for the twelve gunners, they were all serious factory militiamen.

There is no way, these days, units like the Hongguang Machinery Factory have an armed department and a large number of militias because their rank is too high.

At this time, the factory has all kinds of long guns and short guns, especially anti-aircraft guns, which is called more than one, a full anti-aircraft gun regiment!
This is also a characteristic of the times. State-owned factories in this period not only have pistols and long guns, but also large and small artillery.

And in various state-owned enterprises factories in Beijing, anti-aircraft guns are standard equipment.

Especially before [-], because of the feud with Mao in the north and the counterattack against the south, regardless of the singing and dancing in the market, there was a joyful atmosphere of reform and spring breeze everywhere.

But in fact, the atmosphere in the north is very tense. A large number of elite troops are deployed in the north to prevent the big hair from going crazy.

Especially the factory militia in the capital, they have to go to practice from time to time.

Among them, the drill of anti-aircraft guns is the most important!

But after all, it is the capital city, so most of the militiamen training in state-owned factories in the capital city are empty-packed ammunition.

Due to training, the number of empty shells is particularly large.

Therefore, it is much easier and cheaper to shoot empty shells with real guns than to shoot salute shells with salute guns.

The opening ceremony of a publishing house was able to produce anti-aircraft guns. This is also because of the special situation of this publishing house.

The main difference is that Hongguang Publishing House is a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, a state-owned enterprise, not a public institution.

If it is a publishing house of the nature of a public institution, it is absolutely impossible to play the trick of using mortars as salutes.

Of course, it is not easy to be able to dispatch anti-aircraft guns as salutes.

This not only requires the approval of the factory leader, but also needs to be reported and approved by the relevant departments in advance, and even the armed forces have to come to supervise, anyway, it is troublesome.

But troubles are troubles, and the effect is great.

Especially for ordinary people who come to restaurants, when they see the opening ceremony of a publishing house, militiamen and anti-aircraft guns can be dispatched. The shock is absolutely sincere and unparalleled.

It's not in vain now, I can brag with others when I go back, and get shocked and envious looks from others.

In fact, not to mention these people, even Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback.

He had never heard of it before, and there were anti-aircraft guns as salutes.

Because according to the original program list Yu Deli gave him, firecrackers were going to be set off at the beginning, and I didn't hear that there was a salute.

So, there must be something wrong here.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is no longer a question to pursue this question, so I can only ask it later.

In this way, following the two anti-aircraft guns, they fired eight times into the sky continuously.

The opening ceremony of Hongguang Publishing House officially began.
