Chapter 805: See you in the capital in 2008
During the three days of the exhibition, more than 3,000 people were received, and 10,000 copies of various publicity materials were distributed.
The first stage was excellent.
Then the position was moved to the seventh floor of the Regent Hotel, with a room of about 20 square meters for each family. They will receive visitors from behind them here.
The space is bigger, and the room for maneuver increases.
First of all, I threw away my laptop and rented a large TV to play a promotional video. The floor is carpeted, photos are posted on the walls, and some models of the venue are placed on the table.
That set of tea utensils came in handy, I made a sofa and cooked tea on the spot. The two girls also had occasional rest, and they stood for an average of 10 hours a day.
Finally, two lanterns were hung at the door, and the "Chinese Hut" was completed.
Due to the performance of the first stage, the other four knew that a tall and handsome Chinese man was not easy to mess with, so they did not come to find fault again. The Chinese hut will be open until October 1st, and Mr. Xu can't stay with him for so long, so he just waits for 10,000 signatures before applying to return to China.
On the 15th, the Sydney Olympics opened.
Soon the first gold medal was born, the Americans won the women's air rifle competition, the South Korea silver medal, and the Chinese bronze medal. But immediately on the 17th, Tao Luna, who participated in the Olympics for the first time, shot the first gold medal of the Chinese team.
In the last edition in Atlanta, China won 16 gold medals, ranking fourth.
This session is 28 pieces, ranking third.
The next session was in Athens, with 32 blocks in second place.
By 2008, the explosive seed took 51 yuan, and there was no one before or since.
The next London and Rio de Janeiro did not have such good results. Then there's the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, huh???
......
18th, afternoon.
In the hotel room, the leader of the delegation held a small meeting.
"Before we set off, we set three criteria: more pictures, more features, and more promotional materials. In the past few days, people have been giving me feedback that your exhibition is so good, how is it, and there are sofas and tea to drink......
Oops, humanize!"
The comrades chuckled, and Mr. He Zhenliang answered: "Don't underestimate it, Westerners attach great importance to these things. Like the eco-friendly cloth bag made by Xiao Xu, it is simply ingenious.
People say that they hit a snake and hit seven inches, and this cloth bag hit them exactly seven inches. ”
"Yes, when it comes to international thinking in China, I am always confused. After a few days of coming out, I felt that the foreigner's thinking was really different from ours.
We were second to last in the last round of ratings, and many comrades were under pressure. It doesn't matter, it's not too late to make amends.
Comrades in China have contacted experts in Atlanta and Seoul, and we have also found relevant personnel in Sydney. They will gather in the capital to analyze our last round of reports one by one to see where the high scores are and where the low scores are.
There are also image ambassadors who have also approved, the first one is Cheng Long, who is communicating with director Zhang Yi and hurried to shoot some promotional videos. ”
The leader clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the athletes have already played, and we can't lose off the field." Tonight there will be a dinner for people from all over the world. ”
China has two people this time: the Olympic delegation and the Olympic bidding delegation.
The tasks are of course different, one on the open side, and the other privately. When it comes to hospitality, it is to build a good relationship with people from all parties and communicate with each other.
Not at the Regent Hotel, in another place.
Ma Xiaofang and Lu Wuyun grew up rapidly, Xu Fei deliberately made them a façade, carefully put on makeup, and the costumes sponsored by Elaine were like participating in a film festival.
Generous and decent, fluent in oral language, he won a lot of impression points at the dinner.
At about 9 o'clock at the end, the leader of the delegation stood at the door and sent the guests to the car one by one.
The two girls smiled so hard that their faces ached, and they rubbed their faces while reminiscing: "Oh, Australian lobsters are so delicious, I have never seen such a big lobster." ”
"Uh-huh, their crayfish are delicious too!"
"I heard that they have a lot of rabbits, and I wanted to try rabbit meat, but I didn't. ”
"People don't eat bunnies, bunnies are so cute. ”
"It's not that you don't eat it, it's that you can't eat it. How many people does Australia have? It's not as good as rabbit ......breeding."
Xu Fei was suddenly stunned, and raised his chin: "Hey, what is that person doing?"
A few people took a look, and four or five people gathered on the other side of the road at some point, looking sneakily this way, with something in their arms.
After a while, two more came.
It seems that I have been prepared for a long time, and when the number of guests here is the largest, I suddenly lift things, and it turns out to be banners and placards. It reads:
“Dirty Beijing!Smog Olympic!”
“Air pollution—Made in a!”
“No one in Beijing!”
The banner was raised, and I didn't understand it at first, and I was a little confused. When they understood the above meaning, the delegation was filled with righteous indignation.
And when those people saw them looking over, they shouted in their mouths, obviously deliberately provoking.
“......”
The delegation held back the anger and continued to bid farewell to the guests: "Let you see you smile, go slowly." ”
This thing is so common in the West that you can know what it does when you look at it. Some people are wise enough to protect themselves, do not express their opinions, or even simply leave in a hurry.
Someone kindly reminded: "Don't have conflicts. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, go slowly!"
When all the guests are gone, only the delegation is here.
The gang became more and more unscrupulous, one guy pretended to cough violently, and suddenly fainted to the ground, his companion hurriedly artificial respiratory, and the rest laughed.
"Grass!"
Li Wei rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working, but Xu Fei hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impulsive, you will be fooled if you are impulsive!"
"That's right, they did it on purpose, and as long as we do a little radical behavior, it will be infinitely amplified and cause extremely adverse public opinion. ”
"Get in the car first!"
So Hula got into the car, and those people actually followed behind, and the ridicule was endless.
It seems to have disappeared after a long time.
The atmosphere was dull, and one person hung up the phone and said sadly: "The police said that they have the right to express their opinions freely, and they have not committed an offensive act, so they can't accept it." ”
"!"
"A raccoon dog!"
"!"
It's one thing to look at information at home, it's another thing to witness it with your own eyes.
Xu Fei was also eye-opening, it turned out that this was the legendary Western XX force!
When I returned to the hotel, I held an urgent meeting and repeatedly emphasized: must, no conflict!
......
Immediately followed by the second day, the third day.
Those people were haunted like foul-smelling maggots, and even followed the delegation, pulling banners outside the venue and hotel. There are never many people, small teams of three or four, four or five, flexible and free.
The words are sharp, vicious, and always trying to provoke everyone.
Some Western media outlets rejoiced and commented:
"It is impossible for the capital to win! Their system and way of thinking will definitely make mistakes!"
"They're about to fall into passivity and lose everything!"
"The whole world is waiting for the Chinese to make mistakes!"
On the fourth day, in the midst of gloom and gloom, Mr. Xu came to Chinatown.
Outside Boss Cao's restaurant, a small stall was formed, with three tables, covered with red silk. There is a sign next to it: "Beijing 2008 Olympic Bid 10,000 Signature Activity!"
With the influence of the two sponsors, one athlete is invited to cheer on the scene every day.
Today is the second generation of the female table tennis devil, Wang Nan.
With a Northeast accent, he sat on a chair and greeted passers-by with a familiar voice: "Eldest sister, sign your name and support the Olympic bid!"
"Yo, you're Wang Nan, right?"
The eldest sister with a curly head with a southern accent came over excitedly to talk: "Why are you here?"
"We have autograph events, you can rest your feet and drink saliva, and there are gifts. ”
"Okay, I'll sign one...... Hey, can you ask for a signature of yours?"
"Yes, both!"
The red silk was already full, and the eldest sister found a blank space and signed with a black pen. The staff handed her a bottle of Nongfu Spring and a cultural shirt for the Olympic bid.
Mr. Xu has been selling cultural shirts since the 80s and has been selling them to the new century.
At the moment, he was sitting in the hotel.
Boss Cao poured a cup of tea and asked, "The news hasn't been good lately, it's okay, right?"
"Alas, it's just a bunch of troublemakers. ”
"They will do this, the local Chinese are not less bullied, it is not easy for strangers, I think I was ...... when I first came"
Boss Cao was about to tell a story again, but was interrupted by Xu Fei and said, "You have been here for a long time?"
"For a long time. ”
"Can you gather some people?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not a fight. ”
Xu Fei saw that he was nervous and said with a smile: "This kind of thing, we can't come forward, we can't take action, because it will cause political impact." But you are different, you are 'spontaneous acts of the people'.
I need some people's support.
Of course, not letting you do it for nothing, that's a little bit of a trifle. ”
Then he took out a thick paper bag and pushed it through.
Boss Cao couldn't help but touch it, and the amount was enough to make him excited.
He took a sip of tea, paused, took another sip, and sighed: "Mr. Xu, I came here when I was twenty years old, and I worked hard to save such a restaurant.
I see that there are more and more compatriots, some from the 80s, from the 90s, and from last year and this year.
Studying, making money, getting married, and living a good life, no matter what the reason, since you come out, you may feel that the country is not very good.
Me too, when I come out, the country will be poorer.
In the blink of an eye, I have been here for decades, and I have grandchildren. China is a foreign country to him, and Chinese seems to be a foreign language. I can't take care of it, and I can't talk about regrets, after all, this side is really rich, and the conditions are good.
But when people reach an age, there are some things that they always think about in their heads, and they think about them over and over again.
I still can't get used to eating hamburgers and fries, I eat boat porridge, wear cloth shoes, and listen to Cantonese opera...... Like me, there are many more ...... on this street."
Boss Cao pushed back the paper bag, "This kind of thing, take it back." ”
............
It's another morning.
Jiang Chao woke up from his sleep, listless, and didn't rest well at all.
Physically exhausted and mentally stressed. Especially in the past few days, I have been harassed by a group of maggots, and I can't hold my breath and can't spread, and it has all become an internal fire.
The "Chinese Hut" is on display as usual, and there is still a lot of foot traffic. It's just that some are normal, and some are inevitably gloating, after all, they are all reading the newspaper.
He didn't have the heart to go there, and today he was going to visit a venue in Sydney with the delegation. Then have a meeting to learn from the learning experience.
"Whoa!"
The flowing water was cool, Jiang Chao wiped his face and opened the window casually.
The morning wind blows on the face, the slightest coolness, and the brain becomes more and more clear. But in the next second, he scolded: "Malegobi's!"
I saw that across the road, those guys appeared again. They seemed to have divided into small groups and followed the movements of the delegation closely, and this group was camped in the hotel.
According to an IOC official, he has received several e-mails, all of which oppose Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games.
And warn: this situation may continue, especially from the end of the year to next year's sprint stage, those people will be even more unscrupulous!
“......”
Jiang Chao took the camera upstairs and aimed it, and if he threw it, he would definitely smash the grandson's head - but he couldn't throw it.
Taking a few deep breaths, he was about to go out to work, when he paused abruptly and hurriedly grabbed the window.
I saw that from the other side of the street, about twenty or thirty people suddenly walked up, neatly dressed in cultural shirts, with the slogan of the Olympic bid, the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, and the emblem printed on their chests......
Jiang surpassed his professional instinct and hurriedly set up the camera:
These people were all old, and some of them were still full of hair, but they strode and unceremoniously pushed those people aside and occupied the central position.
The two of them held something, lifted it high, and brushed it.
It was a ten-meter-long red silk, densely packed, large and small, all the most familiar square characters.
There is also a shorter one, which reads:
"Sydney Chinese support Beijing's 2008 Olympic bid 10,000 signatures!"
Buzz!
It was working hours, and almost the entire building was seen, and the commotion suddenly began.
When Ma Xiaofang, Lu Wuyun and others heard the news, they also hurriedly opened the window, and the conspicuous red silk was like a red flag fluttering in the morning breeze.
Several members of the delegation went downstairs first, and they were even more stunned when they saw it.
The other party recognized it a little and recognized it as a compatriot, but I don't know who shouted:
"Come on!"
Immediately after, one after another:
"Come on!"
"Come on, capital!"
"Come on, China!"
In an instant, the delegation, which was fighting alone in a foreign land and was ridiculed by the Western media and could not fight back, finally felt the strength to move forward at this moment.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, fellow citizens!"
They still can't make much of a statement, they just stand in the doorway, bow their hands, and go on with their work.
"Come on!"
"Come on, China!"
"See you in Beijing in 2008!"
Jiang Chao's lens has long been blurred.
