National Tide 1980

Seeing that Huo Xin was still thinking about planning for him, he seemed really worried about him.

Ning Weimin was somewhat moved and couldn't help but advise.

"Don't worry, there's no need to worry about me. I won't be fired by Sister Song because of this. I'm absolutely sure."

Huo Xin doesn't have sand in his eyes.

"How can you be so sure? I don't believe it..."

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Ning Weimin was indeed confident, and he then laid out his reasons one by one.

"Let me tell you, not all leaders are so stingy. Sister Song is a knowledgeable and broad-minded person. She understands that long-term interests are greater than short-term benefits, and she can listen to unfavorable advice. Otherwise, I would not follow her at all. Dry."

"What's more, what is the work style of foreign companies? It can't just talk about flattery, it's about pragmatism and efficiency, and it's about personal abilities. What the company is most anxious about now is how to open up the domestic situation. Which one of my proposals is not for the company's immediate benefit? Are you considering interests? Is there anything you can’t say?”

"Let me ask you, is Mr. Cotton here seeking cooperation? It's true that he is here to make money, but after all, he is doing it in the name of friendship and cultural exchanges between the two countries. In our words, he is here to make peace and make money. . Then you have to be good to me and everyone is good. Otherwise, if we people hate him, how much money will he make?"

Huo Xin thought about it and realized that this was correct, but in the end she still felt it was a bit exaggerated.

"Are you exaggerating? Oh, are you going to make the people hate you if you follow the original plan?"

Ning Weimin affirmed it without hesitation.

"Of course. It's not obvious yet."

Follow him and ask Huo Xin.

"Let me ask you, our company's showroom has occupied the Zhai Palace and has refused to open it to the public since then. Only specific guests are allowed to visit. Is this fair? Does it mean that the general audience will be shut out forever?"

"Let me ask you again, are we the common people the masters of the country? Is the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven a national cultural property left by our ancestors? Oh, occupying the owner's house, but not allowing the owner to come in to visit. This is true all over the world ?"

"If we go deeper, Pierre Carton uses our ancient buildings as his personal exhibition hall and allows our cultural relics to be moved to his place. This is even disrespectful to our traditional culture."

"Of course, our people may not have thought of this level, and now people are far from recognizing this level. We ourselves lack the protection of these heritages of our ancestors. Otherwise, we would not be able to carve and paint randomly." 'Woolen cloth."

"But then again. It's clear that the ticket price has not changed, but you come in and see one less attraction. Which tourist can be happy? In addition, will the common people feel that an unequal treaty has been signed here and it has become a concession occupied by foreigners? Already?"

Huo Xin couldn't answer any of Ning Weimin's questions.

She could only answer according to the script and use the words of the leader and the information she heard from her aunt.

"Isn't that why we handle it this way because we are afraid that people will be prejudiced against foreign-funded enterprises, which will affect foreign trade cooperation and hinder reform and opening up.

"Do you know about the Coca-Cola incident? In April this year, the American Coca-Cola Company wanted to build a factory in Shanghai. It encountered strong resistance and had no choice but to change its location to Beijing."

"But even so, the negative response among the people is huge. The homophony of the song "Socialism is good" is sung everywhere, and there is something like, 'The foreign devils have not been hit, the imperialist Coca-Cola is back.' So what happened in the Zhai Palace is completely helpless. Lift.”

Ning Weimin didn't know about this.

Hearing Huo Xin describe it so interestingly, he even laughed at the folk wisdom.

However, his views have not wavered.

"This is not a complete analogy. Coca-Cola is an old brand that has existed since the Republic of China. It was once a symbol of American imperialism in the old society. Naturally, ordinary people will not like it. To put it bluntly, Coca-Cola's brand image needs to be re-established in the Republic, and a lot of work has to be done. My own 'beauty' thing is to improve people's impression."

"But the Pierre Catton Company is different. This is a personal brand created by Mr. Catton, which has no historical baggage for our country. On the contrary, because Mr. Catton has brought us fashion culture, the response of several fashion shows It’s very sensational. Now Mr. Cotton has become a reliable friend of the Republic, and he is using practical actions to mutually benefit our country.”

"So in my opinion, the original intention and intention of the park and Sister Song are good, but the method is completely wrong. Now for Pierre Carton Company, it is time to pursue the victory and expand the good reputation of the official to the private sector. The perfect time. If you are afraid of going out for bad things, why should you be afraid of good things?"

"As for closed operations, of course, it can prevent people from going in and create a relatively clean environment. But it is unreasonable. Such a barrier of purely administrative orders will not only fail to prevent people's dissatisfaction, but will also create cultural barriers and hostility. The brand will be harmed. At least I personally will feel dissatisfied."

The last sentence surprised Huo Xin.

"What? You? Are you still dissatisfied?"

Ning Weimin said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"What's wrong? I am also a Chinese citizen. Although I work for foreigners and earn foreigners' money, it does not mean that I have sold my nationality. I have to condone foreigners doing wrong things. In order to With a few foreign exchange coupons, you are going to be a traitor against your conscience, right?"

Huo Xin felt a little harsh.

"Why do you say it so harshly?"

Ning Weimin was extremely calm, with a clear conscience.

"Hard words are often the truth, so I will do my best to correct this. Is there anything wrong?"

"In my opinion, this matter can completely satisfy everyone. You can turn the secretiveness into an upright one. Just plan the outdoor space of the Temple of Heaven Zhai Palace into an art sculpture exhibition venue. Or it can be called Exhibition Art Zone.”

"Think about it, Pierre Carton didn't use such a large space for clothing display. Is the empty space outside these buildings wasted? It would be better for Caton Company to invest tens of thousands of dollars, here Organize an art sculpture exhibition area with a theme of blending tradition and modernity, and encourage students from our Academy of Fine Arts to participate in the exhibition."

"When the Zhai Palace is fully opened, all PC clothes will be indoors and all outdoor art sculptures will be used. This environment not only meets the artistic requirements of the fashion industry, but also promotes artistic exchanges between the East and the West and gives our students the opportunity to display their talents. .”

"If this is the case, of course the Zhai Palace can be fully opened. For Pierre Cardin Company, it will expand publicity and establish a reputation. For the Temple of Heaven Garden, it will expand its attraction and add more content to attract tourists. For For tourists, there are more interesting things to visit. Wouldn’t that satisfy everyone?”

"As for the clean space required for the showroom, I think it should be partially enclosed. For example, the two small courtyards of the duty rooms should be enclosed and turned into a cafe or lounge. Even if you want to also enclose the bedroom, it won't be a big problem. .Because with the opening of the main area of ​​Wuliang Palace, the people will not be very dissatisfied."

"Once there are any important guests that need to be received, we can make temporary arrangements and temporarily close it to the public. Isn't this good?"

"In short, we should work hard to let the public see the goodwill released by Pierre Caton Company. Let Pierre Caton Company's image of promoting cultural exchanges be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This will not only achieve the purpose of commercial promotion of the company and brand, but also make people Companies and brands gain more public support and goodwill.”

"I believe that both Mr. Caton and Sister Song will understand the good intentions of my suggestions and make the right choice."

In this way, Ning Weimin's impassioned speech completely stunned Huo Xin.

Although she still felt something was wrong and was a little worried about the outcome of the matter, she couldn't help but be impressed by Ning Weimin's idea.

One cannot help but feel excited and admired for his courage and sentiment in trying to consider all aspects.

I hope, I hope everything goes as he expected...
