National Tide 1980

At half past eleven that day, the business hall on the second floor of No. 87 Tiantan North Road was packed with seats and the atmosphere was warm.

The opening ceremony of the "Altar Palace? Imperial Dinner Seat" has reached the most exciting part of the finale.

At this moment, on the small stage hanging high on the top of the pavilion, two female musicians in cheongsam, one playing the guzheng and the other playing the pipa, played Li Xianglan's "Tuberose" in unison like flowing clouds and flowing water.

In front of Huang Zhou's picture of "Fu Lu, Long Shou Xi", more than a dozen female models, led by Qu Xiao and Shi Kaili, were taking the catwalk to the sound of brisk music, showing off their graceful and tall figures. Fashion samples from Pierre Carton.

It must be admitted that this is another idea that Ning Weimin is good at taking advantage of, fully demonstrating his shrewdness.

You know, in this era, most people don't know much about what fashion is.

In fact, it was not until the middle of this year that the fashion models just obtained a "license" for public promotion of the costume performance because of their presentation performance in Zhongnanhai.

Even the district leaders had no chance to experience this kind of performance immersively before today.

In addition, the "Splendid Oriental Model Contest" sponsored by Pierre Carton Company has recently become very popular in the capital. It is a focus of entertainment events that are widely concerned by the people in the capital.

That's why Ning Weimin deliberately borrowed this "east wind" at this stall, invited his familiar model friends, and arranged such a fashion show as the finale.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient space, he created the first batch of splicable stages in China based on the styles he often saw at exhibitions in his previous life.

He had the hardware store weld twelve iron shelves together with seamless square tubes.

A unit of one meter two by two meters four, 25 centimeters high.

Then the boards and wooden floors are nailed on top, and they can be spliced ​​and combined to meet the needs of indoor activities according to the actual conditions.

Needless to say, this was certainly a brilliant idea that was ahead of its time.

Because such a stage is easy to disassemble and light in weight, it is very easy to transport and store, and can be used repeatedly for a long time.

The final result was just as he expected. His efforts were not in vain, and the models' performance indeed achieved extraordinary results.

Even though the stage is simple, the number of models is limited, and there are not many costume changes.

But just because everyone doesn’t like big girls in beautiful clothes, this kind of performance is the first of its kind in China as an entertainment program, and it firmly captures the hot topics of the times.

This session is far more popular than the "Firecracker Lion Dance" during the ribbon-cutting downstairs, and the "Dancing God of Wealth" performed by Peking Opera actors just now.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its climax in an instant, with the heat catching up with the high temperature outside.

Everyone present was very excited, their eyes flashed with excitement and excitement from time to time, and applause and cheers came one after another.

Even among the bursts of applause, many people could still hear uncontrollable whispers.

Some people are talking, saying that such clothes are worthy of leading new international trends. Today is really an eye-opener and a feast for the eyes.

Many people also expressed surprise, saying that they did not expect that folk music could be used as background music for costume performances, and that folk music could play such popular songs so well.

Some people couldn't help but sigh, saying that they didn't expect that there would be no disharmony between folk music and such a modern performance. Absolutely amazing!

Needless to say, Ning Weimin, as the owner of the restaurant, would certainly feel proud and satisfied with this.

At this time, he was standing in a corner away from the stage, silently looking at the hall. Today, these guests from all walks of life who came to support him were savoring the wonderful taste of this special moment filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Take a look, the seats on both sides of the stage, counting from the front row to the back, are the district leaders, the leaders of the Tourism Bureau, the leaders of Pierre Carton Corporation, the Temple of Heaven Garden, and the Service Bureau, as well as Fu Jie and Saga, direct members of the Qing royal family. Mr. and Mrs. Hao, Director Han of the Credit Department of Chongwenmen Branch of the People's Bank of China, representatives of the Summer Palace Oriole Pavilion and Beihai Fangshan Restaurant...

Sitting in the middle seats are several leaders of the Artists Association, painters Huang Zhou, Zhong Zhifu, ceramic expert Ye Hemin, calligrapher Shaman Weng, as well as teachers and students from the two major art schools who have given great support, and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace". 》Main members of the crew and many media reporters...

At the end, there are even many partners who have business dealings with him, as well as relatives and friends.

For example, Manager Huang of the Sugar Industry Tobacco and Liquor Company, Zhang Jisheng of the Jimo Winery, the director of the Honglian Garment Factory, the secretary of the Brocade Box Factory, directors of many industrial arts industries and famous craftsmen, Director Niu of the Donghua City Subdistrict Office, Coal Director Li, Aunt Bian, Master Luo from the Municipal and Street Offices, and even his master Kang Shude, and Zhang Dashao who was a big help this time...

Everyone who can come is here!

Almost all his social relationships are sitting here!

What a way for him to show his face.

On this day, it was the first time that his abilities and abilities were revealed in public without concealment.

He likes to see the reaction of the big guys, who are so shocked by everything here, that they are in a state of confusion and confusion.

He was even more proud that these people recognized him again today and looked at him with admiration.

Even when he looked at the couple who were descendants of the royal family who came to act as tool men, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

For no other reason than because he knew very well that although the couple had to come because the person who invited them was "too powerful" and "the hospitality was too great to refuse".

But the appreciation and affirmation they showed when they visited the restaurant today were not fake or perfunctory.

When the banquet actually begins, they will never feel guilty for the "authentic royal meal" they wrote down.

This is where his happiness comes from.

Frankly speaking, although this business is not my own, it is somewhat suspected of making wedding clothes for others.

But after all, under the banner of a restaurant, he filled his own pockets openly and collected more good things for himself.

Even the toys, calligraphy and paintings, and furniture he lent to the restaurant were not for nothing.

After signing the contract, one thousand yuan of rent was included in the monthly rent, which also solved the problem of storing these things by myself.

Where can I find such good things?

Besides, gaining recognition from others and realizing self-worth are the highest levels of human needs.

Why does he feel unprecedented fulfillment and indescribable joy?

That's because after gradually turning the plan and design of the restaurant into reality, he now thinks about more than just retaining power, or how much personal benefit he can get from it.

Instead, I found that what I was doing was a legitimate cause that was beneficial to the country, society, the company, and individuals.

In addition to earning foreign exchange for the country, it can also make money for the company and partners.

He can also save and restore some ancient relics and support the arts and crafts industry that best represents national culture.

It was these factors that he had not expected at all that gave his time travel a certain positive significance.

In his previous life, he only lived to get rich, which can be said to be mediocre.

Now that he has lived two lives and can predict the future, it would be a complete failure if he could only be a money-lover who holds gold and silver in his arms.

What's more, the skills and abilities you learn from them are your own.

There is no doubt that it will be a matter of time before he leaves Pilkington. When the time comes, one day he will own his own business.

The experience accumulated now is the foundation and basis for his future career development.

It is equivalent to saying that Pierre Carton provided money, resources, and guarantees to let him practice how to start and manage a business.

In other words, if he hadn't been working for Pierre Carton.

And because he has received support from so many state-owned units, how could he get such an opportunity to exercise at such a young age?

Even if there are no restrictions on policies or qualifications, there is a difference between spending your own money and spending other people's money.

Apart from anything else, if this business was his own, he would definitely be restrained and would not dare to show off his talents like this...

All in all, as long as he can sit in this seat safely for a few years and do everything he needs to do.

Even if she takes away her clothes and someone else picks the peaches, he won't suffer any loss.

Of course, even if this happens, it is not that easy.

He is not stupid!

Since he founded this place with his own hands, he would need to bring the restaurant's operation into a regular state in the following period.

How did he end up in a position where he couldn't even raise his opinions and become a character whose conditions couldn't even be negotiated?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Song Huagui and Zou Guodong in the front row.

Unexpectedly, Song Huagui's eyes were also looking at him, and his eyes were full of encouragement and relief.

She even gave him a smile as warm as the spring breeze.

He will never be wrong! This is too surprising.

How could this eldest sister, who was so ruthless in employing people and fearful that they would not be used to their full potential, show such a friendly attitude towards him?

Could it be that her art of thick blackness has reached its peak, and the hypocrisy of human nature has reached the point where there is no trace at all?

Ning Weimin peered into his immediate boss's mentality at this time, and the expression on his face became unnatural.

But soon he became even more confused, because Song Huagui seemed to really want to support him.

After a burst of warm applause, the opening ceremony clothing demonstration came to an end.

Behind the stage, a row of beautiful and tall models stood to take their bows.

According to the designed procedure, at this time, it was natural that Song Huagui should take the stage on behalf of Pierre Cardin Company.

Together with the leaders of the Temple of Heaven and the Service Bureau, she accepted the congratulations from the district leaders, and then she came forward to make a concluding speech.

This is the power that comes with being the general manager of Pierre Carton's China region. It is a power that matches Song Huagui's identity and status.

But this time, Song Huagui called Ning Weimin over in public, pulled him beside him, and met and shook hands with the leaders.

Therefore, in front of the lenses of many reporters and with the sound of the camera's shutter, Ning Weimin was destined to appear in the pages of multiple newspapers as today's focus figure.

But this is not the end, even after a high-ranking leader gave a passionate speech to the people.

Song Huagui actually handed over the microphone to Ning Weimin.

And stood behind him and took the lead in applauding, giving him the last chance to speak with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Ning Weimin was stunned at that time because he was not mentally prepared at all.

Why didn't he expect that Song Huagui would praise him so much?

But the applause had already started, and he couldn't care about anything else.

I had no choice but to clear my throat, try to calm down, and face the guests and the cameras of many reporters again to welcome my highlight moment.

“First of all, I would like to thank the district government for its strong support, the leaders of the Tourism Bureau and the Service Bureau for their meticulous care, and I would also like to thank the Temple of Heaven Garden for their sincere cooperation.”

"Secondly, as the general manager of Pierre Carton's Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall and Tan Palace Restaurant. I also hope to explain to you our company's business strategy based on fashion culture."

"What is fashion? Fashion is trend. What is trend? Trend is avant-garde culture. Avant-garde culture can not only be expressed in clothing, but also in catering. It can even add new vitality to traditional culture and carefully polish it to create a new brilliance. "

"Our country is now open, and our country's economy is destined to take off. As the saying goes, what belongs to the nation belongs to the world, so I believe that there will definitely be a seat for our national culture on this big stage of world fashion."

"Maybe one day Beijing will become Paris, and maybe one day we will make New York inferior. One thing I have never doubted is that if Westerners can do it, we Easterners can also do it. As long as we are willing to join hands, we can all do it together. effort……"

To be honest, Ning Weimin himself didn't expect to speak so well. He was extremely excited when he spoke.

Why?

Because his words resonated.

He saw everyone, almost all listening to his speech attentively, and he also saw his relatives and friends applauding him.

Even the district leaders clapped happily and then gave him a thumbs up.

"Well said! Very good! Young people are ambitious! After reform and opening up, you should be more courageous!..."
