Gu Biao ordered a song at the first public Spring Festival Gala, saying that it was not a big deal, and there was no need to over-interpret it.

Because anyone who is in the capital and is in the high-level of the cultural circle, or who is at the level with the word "country", everyone is invited to watch the Spring Festival Gala performance in the hall, who still watches TV.

The TV display in 83 was not good, and the eye drops were dropped at least twice for four hours, and the eyesight of the big man was not damaged.

Those who are eligible to order songs are at the local level, at most at the provincial level. But people who are old and virtuous often have to pay attention to the influence and dare not trespass.

Therefore, there is only a young man like Gu Biao, whose influence is equivalent to the department level, and at the same time he does not plan to mix up his career again, Meng Lang smiled at him.

That's all.

But this incident eventually attracted a lot of attention.

Some cultural media workers, including Xiangjiang and even outside, like to over-interpret, and think that Gu Biao has some privileges in the mainland market.

Later, whether it was co-production or the introduction of batch films, they all became more and more inclined to choose Gu Biao to hug his thighs and cooperate under the same conditions.

Gu Biao was a little confused at first, but later found out that he was actually taking advantage of this misunderstanding, so he kept silent and didn't explain.

Let it be.

……

After living at home for two days, early in the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Biao took his bodyguards and a convoy to prepare for a meeting in Hujiang.

On the way, before leaving the city, he would go to the exhibition hotel to pick up Han Ting.

Dad and sister didn't send it far, but just sent Gu Biao down the mountain and told him to be careful all the way.

In the past two days, my father was at home and thought about Gu Xiao's advice to him during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and thought about reviewing the small talk of his subordinates when they came to pay New Year's greetings.

Before leaving, he pulled Gu Biao again and asked:

"Unruly, I've thought about it, our factory has changed from 5,000 people to 30,000 people, and we really can't blindly expand our business. However, the size of the order market for enterprise customers and military customers is also so large.

The air separation equipment market in Asia cannot accommodate a factory of 30,000 people - Air Liquide, Praxair, and Benzoacid are all driven away by us, and we dominate the Asian market, and we don't need so many people.

I pondered that we should transform to civilian products with low technical requirements, and not give up our old business of air separation equipment, only to engage in civilian, low-configuration refrigeration compressors.

Since last year, all provinces in China seem to be opening their own brand refrigerator factories, but I touched it a little, it is just an assembly plant, and many of them also buy imported compressor refrigeration and imported control panels, and their own production is an iron shell with a layer of paint.

We are from a refrigeration background, we can do it at minus 200 degrees, and we can't make a civilian refrigerator at minus 20 degrees? Let's go upstream to the supply chain of other blind expansion peers, so that even if there is a surplus of refrigerators and refrigerator factories in the future, our refrigerator factories will not be able to close down.

In three or five years, maybe the Chinese will have enough money to afford air conditioners, so we will switch to supplying compressors to the air-conditioning factories! If the air-conditioning factories don't get up, it's a big deal that we build our own air conditioners, which is better than building refrigerators.

Gu Biao listened to it and was quite pleased.

Alas, my father, who is new to Chinese, can now use his brain to this step, which is not easy. Thanks to being the deputy factory director/factory director for two or three years, I have opened my eyes to some evil, and I have a great son and daughter who often dial it.

In 82 and 83, the domestic planning department did liberalize some of the investment plans, and then the provinces felt that the people were too short of various household appliances, and they all felt that these projects were profitable.

Almost every province has built or expanded factories to build TVs/refrigerators/electric fans, and then all of them have overcapacity around 85 or 86.

However, this kind of expansion is mainly short-term and fast directly to the consumer side, and relatively speaking, there are still very few people who want to climb up the supply chain. Although the Xianyang factory has realized the localization of color picture tubes, many provincial color power plants are still crazy about giving gifts and getting foreign exchange, grabbing the quota of imported picture tubes, and just assembling themselves.

In the refrigerator industry, although the domestic production rate of compressors is a little better than that of the picture tube in the color TV industry, imported goods still account for half of the country. Therefore, what Dad said is not to blindly follow up the refrigerator industry, but to use the decades of advantageous tradition of refrigeration to be a supplier for those blind fanatics, hiding behind them, is indeed a good way to optimize the allocation of resources.

"I think it's okay, Dad, you can work in that direction. However, the key is to first sort out the personnel, and what the military to civilian is most afraid of is that the cost cannot be reduced and the scale of quality control is not well controlled.

Our factory can build a refrigerator at minus 200 degrees, and I am not worried about the technology, but I am worried about how to control the rhythm and degree in the process of reducing your costs. I have a specialization in the art industry, and I have the opportunity to invite you a few quality control experts to investigate it, this money cannot be saved. ”

Gu Biao's order can be regarded as a reassurance to his father, and the family will not mention it.

The convoy quickly left the city and drove along the relatively smooth provincial highway along the river in the direction of Shanghai.

At noon, the convoy arrived at Hujiang. Gu Biao and Han Ting, who only went through the check-in procedures at the Zhaolong Hotel, which was put into use at the end of last year - of course, they don't need to pay money, they are all chartered by the organizing committee, as long as they show their certificates and invitation letters to prove that they are participants, they can move in directly (of course, the money from the organizing committee is still given by Gu Biao's company).

There were still two or three days before the official meeting, so the Chinese representatives arrived first, undoubtedly to check the preparations.

"This place is magnificent enough, and it is not far behind the top hotels on the other side of Xiangjiang, but the scale is not so big. Han Ting wandered around the room for a while, examined the environment, and made pertinent comments.

She is now in Xiangjiang and often goes in and out of top five-star hotels, and often goes to the peninsula for afternoon tea to talk about business, so she has a lot to say so.

Gu Biao also poured some whiskey with iced green tea, held it with a square glass, and stood in front of the window while sipping it while looking at the scenery: "This is also the first five-star hotel in the mainland that is in line with international standards." Alas, this is not accidental, we have intervened in a project that is the first in the mainland. I was numb to the first one. ”

Han Ting took a sip and pushed him coquettishly: "Go and go, you are an errand runner in this matter, three years ago, it was the money donated by the charter boat king, and you have the merit of being less greedy for heaven." Besides, I heard that the white swan in Guangdong has also been built. ”

Gu Biao shrugged: "Eh, there's no way, Huo Ye has already hurried up, but it has just been completed and used, two months later than here." His reputation as the number one in the mainland is gone—

To be honest, I guess I don't dare to live in the house of the White Swan now, it must be that the smell of decoration toxins has not yet dissipated. The original plan was to put the Canton Fair into use in April. Let's dissipate the flavor in these two months. ”

Historically, the first five-star hotel in Chinese mainland was the White Swan Hotel built by Huo Ye in Guangdong in 83, when the Canton Fair was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more top foreign businessmen participated in the Canton Fair.

Historically, the first two years after the White Swan Hotel was built, because until the beginning of 1985, it was the only five-star hotel in Chinese mainland.

All the mainland entrepreneurs, directors and managers of state-owned enterprises who go south to Guangdong Province to seek export orders, as long as they can enter the city of Yuezhou, even if they climb, they must climb to the door of the White Swan Hotel to have a look.

If you are well-dressed, you should also take a walk in the air-conditioned lobby. Even if you can't afford anything, you can still boast to your friends that "I have entered a five-star hotel in Yuezhou" when you return to your hometown.

If you can afford or borrow a camera, let alone have to take a photo in front of the hotel, or even take a sneak peek inside the resplendent lobby while security is on the lookout. When you return to a small city, you can physically share your circle of friends.

However, the scale of Hujiang's high-level foreign affairs activities was originally inferior to that of Guangdong Province. It's just that now, because of Gu Biao's relationship, the approval of the Zhaolong Hotel has been advanced by two years, and the international conference of the IEC Society has forced the Zhaolong Hotel to speed up the work, and finally accidentally snatched the first place in the mainland.

Today's Zhaolong Hotel is 20 floors, but the total height is more than 90 meters, which is not much shorter than the 28-storey/99-meter White Swan.

The main reason is that the white swans in Guangdong are built on the surface of the Pearl River, which belongs to piling and filling the river. In order not to damage the riverbank landscape, the local government of Guangdong promised that the total height should not exceed 100 meters. However, the Canton Fair Organizing Committee hopes that the scale of the White Swan can have 1,000 guest rooms, and in the end, it can only put a single layer to 2.7 meters, which is only about 70% of the standard floor.

In contrast, the Zhaolong Hotel on the Hujiang River, because it was built by donation, the charter boat king did not ask for property rights, and the ownership was donated to the municipal government. Therefore, the land and height are very preferential, and it is completely in accordance with the international standard layer of 3.5 meters high and 4.2 meters high outer layer. In the end, the 20-story hotel was only a few meters shorter than the 28-story of the White Swan.

The design of the top floor has also been changed to a more trendy revolving restaurant.

With such a landscape, it is difficult not to attract small citizens to watch wildly.

Gu Biao and Han Ting drank some whiskey in the guest room and rested, and decided to go down for a stroll, and saw that from the lobby to the outside of the building, there were small citizens and onlookers pretending to look at the scenery everywhere.

"Gangdongning is not as good as Ala Hu Jiangning, panache!"

"There are really a lot of Xiangwo Ning who came to see the hotel for two days, and the third day of the new year is Karma Duoning. I've never seen the world!"

"Let's go, don't go with them!"

When Han Ting went out to hang out with Gu Biao, she was still relatively low-key, and she liked to put her collar up to cover half of her face. At this moment, when I heard these onlookers' words in a micro-service state, I couldn't help but laugh.

"They didn't build it, so I'm more excited than you. I thought you were greedy enough. ”

Gu Biao smiled very understandingly: "This is also a city honor, if you see more in the future, you won't be able to." There are such people everywhere. If you go to Yuezhou, there are also such people at the gate of the White Swan, nothing more than a different dialect. As for the people who hide at home and are reserved, there are many people, but you can't see them if they don't go out. ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
