The stars hang high, and the evening breeze blows lightly.

In the middle of the peninsula, on a hill, a metal stage stands facing west.

The organizers did not arrange a mat performance, but there was no restriction on spontaneous performances. Even though many spectators ran to see the stars, there were still people singing on stage.

Considering that the sunny window suitable for stargazing is fleeting, this event did not take time to build the stage, and directly brought a mobile stage car over.

The muscular American long-head trailer in front did not move, and the 40-foot box in the back was unfolded, turning into a medium-sized stage with an inner width of 10 meters, a depth of 6 meters, and an inner height of 4 meters. If you go around the back, you can see the lounge, dressing room, and bathroom, except for the small size and no revolving stage, which is simply overly equipped.

In fact, in addition to the stage-related facilities, the trailer, which is obviously too long, also has a generator, a broadcast control room, and a satellite antenna, so even if you drive to a mountainous area where there is no electricity and no internet, you can still perform and even broadcast live. Taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's side, Mei Zhe sighed half flattering and half puzzled: "Ma Dong, your stage is too luxurious, even many formal stages are not as advanced and complete as yours." Is it for this event?"

Atletico shook his head, "This car belongs to the Chaoyang Foundation, and we borrowed it by paying the rent." ”

After listening to his explanation, Mei Zhe was even more curious, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Chaoyang Foundation also a charitable organization under Bee? Why do they still have to give money? And how do they still have a performance business?"

"Bee is only the initiator of the Chaoyang Fund, and the financial and organizational relationship between the two is independent, and they are not brothers, so they naturally have to settle accounts. They have their own needs to promote performances, so it is more convenient to get a well-equipped stage to open out, and when they are not in use, they can also rent it out to make money to supplement the management fee. ”

Chaoyang Foundation is a non-profit organization specially established to operate the Chaoyang Scholarship and Chaoyang Training Program of the University. After the official promulgation of the Charity Law, Atletico arranged for the Chaoyang Fund to be transformed into a non-profit public fundraising organization, so as to obtain the qualification to independently launch charitable projects on the "Bee Public Welfare Platform".

Of course, in addition to expanding the source and influence of funds and making the operation more formal and transparent, the conversion to public offering will also bring trouble with strict rules and cumbersome procedures.

The Charity Law has regulations on public fundraising organizations, such as "annual charitable expenditures shall not be less than 70% of the previous year's income", "management fees shall not exceed 10%", and "regular disclosure of project implementation". Transparency is good, but although the 70% of the expenses and 10% of the management fee are out of public interest, they also cause a lot of trouble to the operation of charitable organizations. The raised funds need to be spent immediately, so naturally it is impossible to invest money to make money, and the management fee is required for operation, but it has been discredited by the Red Cross Society and the media.

Rather than be so restrained, simply don't raise this brand publicly. Therefore, the larger-scale Bee Foundation and Jiajing Foundation still retain the private equity nature unchanged, anyway, relying on the donations of Bee and Jiajing and various investment income, it can fully ensure the steady growth of the foundation.

County Magistrate Mei frowned, "If you use and rent it, wouldn't that kind of small stage car be more convenient?"

"The small car is convenient, but there are too many of them, and it is easy to be confused and despised by people when driving out, but it is not as good as the big car. In these years, public welfare also needs a face image. ”

Seeing that he didn't care, Mei Zhe had no choice but to point out further: "This thing seems to be very expensive, right?"

Because of her relationship with Guo Meimei, a wealthy woman, the red will be scolded all over her head, and the impact has not been completely cleared up until now. In the face of the extravagant behavior of the Chaoyang Fund, the media and netizens will also not show mercy.

"This car is actually not expensive," Atletico said with a smile: "The trailer, lights, sound, computers, and air conditioners are all donated, and the Chaoyang Fund commissioned the modification factory to customize the car body, but it didn't cost much." These are all publicized on the official website, and they are also recognized by the media and netizens. ”

Nodding to accept the explanation, County Magistrate Mei suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Ma, can you let this car stay in Zhangpu for a few more days?"

The straight-line distance between Zhangpu County and Ludao City is less than 70 kilometers, and the Qianting Town where the two are located is even closer. However, there are many mountains in this area, and there are many mountain roads to come from Egret Island, and cultural performance groups on Egret Island usually do not come here. With so many people finally coming this time, County Magistrate Mei was naturally unwilling to let it go in vain. Improving the cultural life of the masses is also a political achievement.

Atletico understood his thoughts and nodded in agreement: "This is naturally no problem." This time, thanks to the cooperation of the surrounding people, we naturally have to express something. ”

Turning his head to look at the performers on stage, he continued, "The show shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask the assistant to contact you later, and I'll report the program list to you later. ”

"That's right," he turned his head to look to the side, "The height of the stage car is 3.99 meters, if there is any height limit bridge and tunnel height limit pole along the way, please send someone to remind you." ”

Mei Zhe naturally agreed: "No problem, I will let them cooperate." ”

Because of investment costs and other reasons, the net height of many bridges and tunnels in China is only 4 meters or even 3.5 meters, which often causes card head injury to 4.2 meters of container trucks and buses of more than 3.5 meters.

The national standard for road vehicles led by the Ministry of Communications stipulates that the height of the vehicle shall not exceed 4 meters. In order to restrict large trucks from entering the city and muck trucks from entering the community, some cities and communities will erect their own height limit poles at the entrance, and the height will sometimes be pressed to less than 2.5 meters, so that not only large vehicles cannot enter, but even fire trucks and ambulances have to detour.

Large RVs cannot be developed in China, and a large reason is caused by height restrictions. Because RVs can't come outside, some domestic RV camps simply provide fixed RVs for travelers, as if they have become RV-themed hotels, which can be regarded as local characteristics. The caravan camp in the volcano park is like this, I heard that Atletico Madrid is going to drive the RV over, and the camp management is also busy to free up a place where the Super Snail can be parked.

After saying another word, Atletico said: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go up." ”

The music stopped, the singers on the stage bowed, the host took the stage again, and after the opening remarks attracted the surrounding audience back, she announced aloud: "The starry sky festival has officially begun, and the following is Mr. Ma Jing, founder and chairman of Bee Group, and Mr. Mei Zhe, deputy secretary of the Zhangpu County Party Committee and county magistrate." ”

The spotlight above the stage then turned outside, and a beam of light shone on Atletico and Messe who were waiting.

In order to avoid creating light pollution that affects the view, these lights are deliberately dimmed, and the beams emitted are not dazzling at all, but form a hazy romantic feeling of being covered in moonlight.

Under the hazy white light, Atletico looked more slender and toned in a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, just waving his hand casually, which also caused a scream. As for whether there is a foil to the greasy middle-aged man next to him, only the audience knows.

Striding onto the stage, the two took the microphone from the host's hand, and Atletico Madrid was the first to greet him: "Everyone, good evening! ”

The latter is also a clear-eyed person, so naturally he will not take out a speech script to make a long speech, and take over the topic with a few simple sentences: "Good evening, everyone, welcome to Zhangpu." If you encounter anything unpleasant, you can come to me. ”

"This is not polite," Seeing that everyone seemed unmoved, Mei Zhe raised his hand behind him, "You can scan the code to add my honey chat and >."

At this moment, the audience finally remembered the applause, obviously everyone liked this way.

After the introduction, the main topic begins immediately. 300 user representatives will be invited to the stage to receive the star naming certificate and crystal planetarium souvenir from Atletico and Mezzer, who volunteered to help.

If it were an ordinary organizer, they would definitely let people come to the stage in turn, receive certificates and souvenirs from Ma and Mei, and at most add handshakes and hugs, as well as polite words such as "congratulations" and "congratulations".

However, this monotonous and boring pattern is not what the bees want, and they have prepared content for this distribution ceremony that matches their own image.

Most of the lights on the stage were turned off, and only two follow-up lights were still shining on the two of them.

"Buzz!"

The upper roof is folded and retracted by the action of the electric motor and hydraulic rod, revealing the starry sky overhead.

The first audience member receives a notification on their mobile phone and walks onto the stage with the spotlight in the spotlight. Atletico shook hands with him and asked with a smile, "Miss Zhou, can you find your star now?"

The latter only knew the name of the star, and if he wanted to find the location, he had to check the information and then identify it carefully, so he could only shake his head at this time to indicate that he did not know.

Atletico smirked and raised his hand to the sky, "You'll know right away." ”

Under the puzzled gaze of Miss Zhou and the audience, the laser spotlights at the height of the stage suddenly turned on, and four green lasers pointed straight to the east of the zenith, forming a super large pyramidal pointer. These laser spotlights are just stage equipment used to render the atmosphere, and the light is not far away with limited power, but everyone still turns their heads to look at the tip of the cone in the direction of the cone, knowing that there is a star there, and it has just had its "owner".

After receiving the naming certificate from Atletico Madrid, the girl excitedly stepped forward half a step forward and hugged Atletico Madrid, and then decisively grabbed the bottle in Zhou Zhe's hand and ran off the stage.

Laughing awkwardly, Atletico had to make three chapters with everyone, "Time is limited, it's okay to shake hands, hug or forget it, let's finish this quickly." ”

A second audience member walked onto the stage, but the green laser pointer suddenly disappeared. Atletico explained: "This gentleman's star is not visible in the northern hemisphere, and we can't help it. ”

Only then did everyone realize that the laser pointer was only an exclusive benefit for the Northern Sky Star in autumn. The audience who chose other seasons or the Southern Sky Star showed a wry smile, but they could only call in vain.

In this way, the distribution work is gradually on the right track. Someone kept coming up to the stage, shaking hands with Atletico Madrid, taking the certificate signed by someone from him, and then taking a few steps to take the crystal cup handed by the county magistrate, and then walking off the stage from the other side, but it was also orderly and fast.

If the star happens to be overhead, the green laser pointer will light up to indicate its position. Although the stars are mostly invisible due to eyesight and environmental reasons, the audience's emotions are still aroused. Again and again, chasing the direction of the laser pointer.

In contrast, the naming certificate and commemorative crystal cup, which were supposed to be the protagonists, were reduced to supporting roles, but few people paid attention to them.

After all, the so-called naming certificate is just a piece of A4 size laminated cardboard with the words "A certain star located in XXXX is named ZZZZ by YYYY." It is hereby certified", and finally the official seal of the name of Bee Space Development Company and the signature of Atletico Madrid. Although the production is fine and the materials are exquisite, the fake is a fake after all, and if it were not for the handwritten signature of Atletico Madrid on it, the collection value can be said to be almost none.

After all, Boss Ma is the master of tens of thousands of dollars a second, and it is impossible to sign all the certificates by hand. In addition to the 300 certificates given away today and the 200 certificates that were specially written as gifts, the remaining 1 million certificates can only be made by industrial printing. In fact, most of them will not even be printed, although the bee empty opening means that the production and delivery of the certificate is completely free, but if you want to get it, you have to queue up to apply, and there will inevitably be many people who are troublesome and give up this benefit.

The certificate is still like this, and the planetary in Mezhe's hand is naturally also neglected. Although it uses artificial crystal bottles and magnetic levitation luminescence technology, and the production is also very fine, it is still difficult to enter the eyes of the audience. After all, you can buy a more advanced version at the "Bee Grocery Store" later, which is really rare for everyone.

Speaking of which, there are many creative ornaments using magnetic levitation technology, because the technology is relatively simple and the subject matter is too monotonous, this market segment has shown signs of decline. Bees have stubbornly resisted the condemnation of many astronomers in IAU and forcibly embarked on the star naming project, and there is no idea of developing new themes in it. There are millions of users who participate in the naming of the planet, and as long as one in ten can develop into customers, this year's performance will be much better.

A quarter of an hour later, the last user reluctantly walked off the stage, and the certificate issuance session was over.

Mei Zhe and Miss Manners left the stage one after another, and there was only one person left on the stage.

Bathed in the white glow of the spotlights, Atletico raised the microphone and opened his mouth to release a big news.

"Through this star naming activity, we saw everyone's curiosity and yearning for the starry sky and the universe, so we came up with a bold idea. In the next step, Bee will look for partners to build a special asteroid probe through crowdfunding, which will fly to the asteroid belt with the names and messages of all investors to stay permanently. It will be interesting to see the message we leave for future generations when they find it and see the message we leave for future generations. 2k reading network
