188 Is the Salute an anti-aircraft gun?
In fact, with Cao Zhiqiang's original intention, he didn't want to make a big deal about the opening ceremony of the publishing house.
The reason is simple, one is too troublesome, and the other is not worth it.
It's too troublesome to understand, and you need a lot of work for the whole grand opening ceremony, and even have to prepare a speech or something, which is too troublesome.
As for the unworthy, literally, Cao Zhiqiang thinks that a new publishing house with only a dozen people and no serious publications is not necessary to make a big deal out of it.
That's right, the style of the publishing house is really high, and it looks really powerful, and ordinary people can't do it.
But when you really enter this circle, you will find that it is actually just a publishing house, and it is not a big deal.
In fact, at this time in China, there are many publishing houses, just in the capital, there are countless publishing houses.
Basically, as long as it is a public institution or a state-owned enterprise, it can apply for a publishing house, and generally speaking, it will be approved.
As for these publishing houses, except for some old big publishing houses, most of them are small publishing houses with five or six people, or seven or eight people.
In this way, Cao Zhiqiang, the publishing house of more than a dozen people, started with a fairly large scale.
But no matter how big you are, you're only a small unit with a total number of fourteen people at best.
In a small unit with only 14 people in total, the opening ceremony was really too much, and Cao Zhiqiang himself felt embarrassed.
Therefore, the low-key opening and everyone getting together to eat and drink is the most in line with Cao Zhiqiang's expectations, and he thought so at the beginning.
However, Yu Deli, who has been appointed editor-in-chief and deputy general manager, does not think so.
According to Yu Deli, although their publishing house is small, it still has to run a big deal.
Yu Deli said so, he said that for other small publishing houses, it is indeed good to open in a low-key manner, but it is not suitable for Cao Zhiqiang.
The reason is that Cao Zhiqiang is different from those newly opened publishing houses, he is too young, too young, too young, and too heavy.
At this time, the country was still very particular about seniority.
As far as publishing houses are concerned, a 19-year-old general manager and vice president like Cao Zhiqiang has never heard of it since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang wants this publishing house to go steadily in the future, and will not be easily troubled by a group of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, he must do a lot of things to show his strength.
In addition to that, it's also a great opportunity, an opportunity to gather people and manage their network.
According to Yu Deli, it is for Cao Zhiqiang to take this opportunity to invite all the leaders he can invite, if he can invite the big leader behind him, then of course it is the best, even if the big leader just comes to show his face.
In addition, leaders like the first and second leaders of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, as well as other leaders known to the yamen, had better be invited.
Not only do you have to invite the leaders of various units that Cao Zhiqiang knows, Yu Deli will also search his circle of friends and try to invite all the celebrities in the circle.
In this way, even if the Red Light Publishing House does not have any publications, its name will become an instant hit and be remembered by many people, and it will not be regarded as a small unit with no horns and corners.
And the price is nothing more than spending more money, but this is not a matter at all for Cao Zhiqiang.
In other words, compared with the money spent, the hidden benefits of gathering contacts and popularity are the most important.
Cao Zhiqiang was right when he thought about it, what people said was very reasonable.
Moreover, Yu Deli also volunteered, saying that he would take care of the operation of the opening ceremony without Cao Zhiqiang's bother.
There are only two things that Cao Zhiqiang needs to worry about, one is to inform the cattle people he knows, and the other is to pay for it.
So, Cao Zhiqiang paid the money, Yu Deli came out, and the opening ceremony of a publishing house was released in this way.
The opening day was a Sunday.
The reason why I chose this day is also very particular.
In addition to finding someone to calculate that it was a good day to open, Sunday itself is also very important.
Because on Sunday, most of the units are closed, and those leaders are free to attend the opening ceremony, and there is no need to ask for leave.
Maybe the goddess Yu Deli is looking for is really a bit of a Taoist, and on the day of the real opening, it was a very good sunny day, and the sky was blue.
This is very rare in April in the capital at this time.
Because in the early 80s, the Three-North Shelterbelt Project had just begun, and the Saibahan Project had not yet begun, so the capital was still suffering from sandstorms every year, and the most raging sandstorms in the capital were in March and April every year.
Coupled with the problem of industrial pollution, even after entering April, although Cao Zhiqiang has not encountered a large-scale or extra-large sandstorm, there is very little blue sky in the capital, and it is generally gray.
In this environment, on the opening day of the Red Light Publishing House, the sun was shining, with blue sky and white clouds, which was a rare good weather and a good sign.
In this good weather of blue sky and white clouds, all kinds of people came to the opening ceremony of Hongguang Publishing House, that is, the office space of Hongguang Publishing House.
When everyone came here, balloon streamers and banners had been arranged in advance, and a simple stage had been set up.
In addition, some performing arts groups, such as the Yangko Troupe, the Children's Performance Troupe, and the Peking Opera Troupe, have invited a lot.
The situation was similar to that of a high school athletic meet.
It is also thanks to the fact that Cao Zhiqiang bought a lot of land at the beginning, and the place is big enough, otherwise, it would be really difficult to arrange so many people.
Of course, not all the guests are leaders, in fact, most of them are family members of leaders, as well as their relatives and friends.
Think about it, there is a lack of entertainment in this era, who wouldn't be happy to attend the opening ceremony of a publishing house, not to mention being able to watch a play for free, but also to eat and drink for free?
Even if this place is remote and wants to go out of the city, everyone is willing to come.
Naturally, to join, you must have an invitation, and if you don't have an invitation, you can't come in to eat and drink.
To this end, Cao Zhiqiang also found the security department of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and asked the security department to send out a few security personnel to stand guard with guns and maintain order.
Hongguang Publishing House is also a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, so there is nothing wrong with letting the security department stand guard and maintain order.
And the people from the security department are also happy to come, after all, it is a rest day, how nice it is to have money, play to watch, and eat and drink for free.
For this reason, almost all the people in the security department were dispatched, for fear that they would fall behind and not be able to reap the benefits.
With so many heavily armed security officers here, the order at the scene is of course no problem.
However, it is precisely because of this large number of heavily armed security personnel that the atmosphere here is a bit strange, or a little serious.
Anyway, the people who came were afraid to come out, and they could only speak in a whisper, and under the guidance of the security section personnel, they went to sit down on the stools in the guest area arranged in advance, and waited for the opening ceremony to begin.
Since eight o'clock in the morning, people have been entering the factory one after another, and it has been almost nine o'clock, and people are still coming in.
However, the later people basically didn't have invitations, and just wanted to come to the troubled waters to fish and eat and drink, so they were quickly blocked out by the conscientious security officers.
Finally, the time came at nine o'clock.
As soon as nine o'clock came, the twelve young men divided into two groups and set off two salutes prepared in advance.
However, after seeing the two salutes, Cao Zhiqiang was immediately stunned.
This Nima is a salute?
Whose salute looks like this?
These are clearly two single-barreled anti-aircraft guns!
When I asked Yu Deli next to him, I found out that this was really an anti-aircraft gun - a Type 55 37mm anti-aircraft gun!
You can fight planes on the top, you can fight chariots on the bottom, domestic products, and the militia's favorite!
And the so-called salute shells fired by these two anti-aircraft guns are not salute shells, but empty shells for the daily training of the militia!
As for the twelve gunners, they were all serious factory militiamen.
There is no way, in these days, a unit like the Hongguang Machinery Factory, because the level is too high, so there is an armed forces department, and there are also a large number of militia.
At this time, there are all long guns and short guns in the factory, especially anti-aircraft guns, which are called more than one, which is enough for an anti-aircraft artillery regiment!
This is also a characteristic of the times, the state-owned enterprises and factories of this period not only have pistols and long guns, but also large and small artillery.
And in the factories of various state-owned enterprises in the capital, anti-aircraft guns are even more standard.
Especially eighty-five years ago, because of the bad relations with Da Mao in the north and the counterattack war against the south, don't look at the singing and dancing on the market, there is a joyful atmosphere of reform blowing all over the ground.
But in fact, the atmosphere in the north is very tense, and a large number of elite troops are deployed in the north to prevent Da Mao from going crazy.
In particular, the factory militia in the capital has to go to the training from time to time.
Among them, the drill of anti-aircraft guns is the most important!
However, after all, it is the capital, so most of the militia training in the state-owned enterprises and factories in the capital is empty-packed.
Due to the training, the number of empty ammunition is particularly high.
Therefore, it is much easier and cheaper to shoot empty cartridges with real guns than with salutes.
The fact that an anti-aircraft gun was able to produce an anti-aircraft gun at the opening ceremony of a publishing house is also because of the special situation of this publishing house.
The main special feature is that Hongguang Publishing House is a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, a state-owned enterprise unit, not a public institution.
If it were a publishing house in the nature of a public institution, it would be absolutely impossible to play the trick of using mortars as salutes.
Of course, it is not easy to use anti-aircraft guns as salutes.
This not only requires the consent of the factory leaders, but also has to report and approve with the relevant departments in advance, and even the armed forces department has to have someone to come over to supervise, anyway, it is troublesome.
But trouble is trouble, and the effect is leveraged.
Especially for ordinary people who come to the restaurant, when they see the opening ceremony of a publishing house, they can actually dispatch militia and anti-aircraft guns, and the shock is absolutely sincere and incomparable.
It's not in vain now, you can brag with others when you go back, and gain the shocked and envious eyes of others.
In fact, not to mention these people, even Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback.
He had never heard of an anti-aircraft gun salute at the scene.
Because according to the original program list given to him by Yu Deli, firecrackers were going to be set off at the beginning, but I didn't hear of a salute.
So, this must be something went wrong.
However, the matter has come to this point, and now it is no longer a question of pursuing this, so we can only go back and ask again.
In this way, with the two anti-aircraft guns, the roar continued to open up to the sky after eight sounds.
The opening ceremony of Hongguang Publishing House officially began.
