My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 217 Let Me Give a PPT
Weidong really doesn't want to be a celebrity like You Qili and others.

Why not just focus on business and make money?

But with his limited macro-level vision, he still hasn't realized that Jiangzhou was the core of the economic reform in the 1980s.

Special economic zones like Pengzhen are independent and open windows for everything, and Shanghai and Beijing do not allow for random testing.

Only Jiangzhou, as a reform test field, can truly cross the river by feeling the stones and share its experiences and lessons with the whole country.

He happened to be jumping here, and his jumping was particularly eye-catching.

There's no way around it.

For example, when he hurried to the combined military and civilian airport to meet up with people from the city, he brought nothing but a bag of photos.

Sitting on the simple flip-up seat on the cabin wall is an experience completely different from that on a civil airliner, and the noise is extremely loud.

Considering that Shen Lao San never wanted to take a plane again, it did make sense.

Seeing him leaning against the bulkhead nervously and holding the paper bag tightly, others asked him what photos were in it.

I guess they were all a little nervous and tried to change the subject.

Of course, these are a series of beautiful photos carefully taken by the masters of Liujin Photo Studio.

He planned to take it directly to the Sunshine Daily and "go through the back door" to hand it over to the film festival selection committee for selection. At least in the future, there will be more photos of Jiangzhou in the overall exhibition.

The result, of course, was to intimidate several people in the city.

I flipped through it quickly, some of it incredibly hard, but I couldn't help but stop and look at it, and then showed it to the person next to me.

It’s just like coming across something interesting on your phone decades later and sharing it with others.

Now that Weidong has paid the fee, he is advocating that the studio's photographers do not engage in large-scale photography, but instead go out and take photos with their X cameras.

When he realized that Jiangzhou might be a business card of reform, he did not prepare any reports, speeches or report texts, but chose to take photos.

Perhaps coming from the era of short videos, the first choice is graphics and images, which are easier to illustrate and record this era.

This military plane actually picked up people from several neighboring provinces, so even if you wanted to chat in the roar, you couldn't do anything.

Look at this person who took out a stack of photos that were two fingers thick and looked through them. He immediately smiled happily and couldn't let go of them. Someone quietly unbuckled his seat belt and came over to share a stack of photos to look at.

Then let's look at the guy holding the brown paper bag with the words "photo studio" on it...

This young man, you really have no moral principles.

Everyone rushes to the meeting to present facts and reason, and no one needs to be convinced by listing a bunch of boring data.

You just post the photo.

Still such a beautiful photo.

Anyone who sees it will be distracted.

It’s a port city, so there’s a photo taken from a bird’s-eye view standing on the stone steps of the port, showing the spontaneous trading market where Weidong first came to sell bacon.

The steps are filled with villagers carrying agricultural and sideline products on their shoulders and backs to sell in the city. The background is the sound of ferry whistles, and the distant view is the Jiangnan Mountains in the factory area.

The result of superb technology and exquisite framing is that the farmers in the foreground are carrying heavy burdens but are filled with joy at harvest, and the visual focus is very sincere.

A long springboard connected the long procession behind them. A man from a neighboring province clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! This scene really looks like the people using wheelbarrows to support the three major battles. This is supporting the economic revitalization. You Jiangzhou are moving very fast."

But the most wonderful thing is the alternating layers of mountains in the distance, which are as distinct as the dark blue of an ink painting, while the faint factory chimneys and factory buildings reveal the connection between industry and agriculture.

The eyes of these people, whose minds are full of reform affairs, are full of various meanings.

For example, why Jiangzhou later became a famous internet celebrity city.

The climbing up the slopes, the alternation of old and new, and the three-dimensional space that are rare in other regions are very attractive.

People who have lived here for a long time don’t realize the novelty of outsiders.

Let Weidong remind me.

The photographers went to find it.

Find that long slope of stone steps, an old man climbing up with difficulty with a cane, his grandson laughing and jumping in front, looking back to pull him. In the eyes of people who understand the meaning well, it must be full of meaning.

What elevates the picture is the old bamboo-walled house with historical traces on the left side above the steps, with its sloping tile roof and mottled walls, and the straight high wall of a modern building on the right side that rushes out of the picture.

So there was just a piece of blue sky left outside the sloping roof, winding through the messy and winding alleys between the two.

A beam of afterglow from the setting sun shone on the steps, and the old man in dark, old clothes looked even more youthful and bright against the backdrop of the children.

The changes between the old and the new, the introduction of the new through the old, and the twists and turns and difficulties ahead are all vividly reflected.

Someone waved the photo vigorously to indicate that he wanted to keep it.

Not everyone understands art, but works with artistic appeal can move people.

The Jiangzhou group felt incredibly relieved, and couldn't help but raise their voices: "Can't we hold a separate Jiangzhou exhibition?" Someone nearby immediately shook their head: "How can we do it separately? Jiangzhou's achievements were achieved with support from all sides. It's a very integrated whole..."

Therefore, for such a high-level situation, it would be better for Weidong to say nothing and just present the photos.

He quickly put the negatives away, as it was obvious that some of them had been borrowed and not returned.

Sure enough, when they arrived in Pingjing and attended the meeting without stopping, this stack of photos immediately became the focus that Jiangzhou showed to all parties first!

Everyone felt that instead of saying so much, it would be better to use pictures to describe the scene simply and clearly.

The debate was intense, but after seeing these photos, they kept asking for details.

How long has it been since villagers from surrounding towns and villages in Jiangzhou have been sending agricultural and sideline products to the urban area for free trade? How big is the transaction volume? What are the citizens' reactions?

This is exactly the story that Weidong, a guy who once secretly sold bacon, should tell.

Even if he didn't mention that he was once one of them, he could still explain in detail the specific sales situation of meat, vegetables and eggs in the urban vegetable market. This kind of beneficial supplement not only enriched the citizens' vegetable basket, but also benefited the rural population. By the way, he also mentioned that there were some stealing and theft, but it improved significantly after the control began in the second half of last year.

We have been listening to such first-line talks many times in meetings, and everyone is very interested and keeps asking questions.

Some of them require support from the city, and the photos were not taken by Weidong.

For example, in one photo, it was still dark, but a long line of villagers were getting on the bus one after another, carrying things on their shoulders and backs.

The picture with a dark background is very special, as if it is a ceremony.

Someone asked, and Weidong had never participated.

Instead, the city government connected them: "Surrounding counties and districts have always had public bus transportation. It leaves the city in the morning and returns to the county in the afternoon. At night, the buses are stored in the warehouse for maintenance to facilitate management. However, while the fleet is convenient, it is difficult for the people, especially those farmers carrying fresh agricultural and sideline products such as chickens, ducks, and fish. They take the bus into the city in the afternoon, but find it difficult to sell the goods. They have to stay in a hotel overnight, which increases sales costs. Moreover, the goods lose their freshness after being left out overnight. Some weak chickens, ducks, and fish will wilt, making them less attractive in the market, and reducing the competitiveness of the products."

Even reforms like this require careful thought. "After research and discussion, we urged the city to adjust its schedule to meet market demand. The buses will now depart in the afternoon, stop in the countryside that night, and depart before dawn the next morning. They can sell their goods in the city and return home in the afternoon with the supplies they bought in the city. Currently, there are 350 of these buses, covering all surrounding counties and major towns."

Weidong also listened attentively.

The saying "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish" has been profoundly interpreted.

Try to adjust cautiously and tread carefully.

But it is obvious that the only ones who suffer in this adjustment are the driving and sales staff, which made Wei Donggang subconsciously think of this point.

I heard people in the city casually mention the current problem of "difficulty in taking public transportation". Weidong has also experienced the situation during the morning and evening rush hours in large cities with a population of one or two million.

Without mentioning the efficiency of state-owned drivers and sales staff, it can only be said that the public transportation system is short of funds and cannot buy new vehicles to increase transportation capacity in a short period of time.

The solution is "social public transportation", which encourages each unit's transportation vehicles to be put into social transportation operations after quickly transporting their own people. This has indeed greatly alleviated the situation.

Weidong immediately looked like he had learned something!
Isn’t this just a disguised form of private operation?
Because once this is done, there will always be smart people and those with some connections who will find companies to contract vehicles.

No wonder it seemed that "minibuses", "minibuses" and "minibuses" became popular all over the country, and even developed into air-conditioned buses between cities. In fact, they all developed along this line.

Wei Dong might have been listening too intently, and he couldn't help but have a silly expression on his overly young face, which was especially noticeable in the expressions of others.

Someone immediately asked him with a smile what he felt, which made Weidong answer honestly: "This is passenger transport, and freight transport. Having a photo is not entirely a good thing. It's fishing by the river..."

Some people even dug it out and passed it around for people to watch, but no one even mentioned using a slide projector to project it onto a screen.

Rang Weidong explained, "This is a professional moving company affiliated with our Transportation Bureau. We've made significant contributions to various large projects, such as steel mills and petrochemical plants. However, recently, various state-owned enterprises and large factories have been undergoing adjustments, so there's not much new construction and relocation work. They've been very idle. There are more than a dozen trucks in the background of the photo, all sitting idle. Is there no demand? The market demand is huge, so why don't they want to work? These are all professional movers, and their management department can't get work from the market. So the Transportation Bureau tried to reform with us, a private enterprise, and we offered contracting, buyout, and equity investment. The entire team immediately threw themselves into the market. In about 20 days, the benefits they've created are seven or eight times what they were before. The photo with the white vertical stripe is of them."

Submitting photos for meetings is just like PPT in later generations.

Although the old security guard has never made a PPT, this is the effect it has now.

Clearly compare the before and after states.

The second photo was quickly passed around, and everyone who saw it nodded frequently.

Because the previous photo of me fishing by the river exudes a leisurely and lazy atmosphere, all thanks to the lush trees in the riverside park. The beautiful artistic conception of the sword-like shadows projected from the trees is very impressive.

But the following photo is a picture of a construction site, almost taken from above, where a group of workers are working together to install exterior glass.

The scorching sun and the sweat beads all over the body are the common main theme photos.

If you compose the shot from above, you can see that the building is of amazing size and has a very beautiful shape.

The "worker image" reflected on the glass makes the composition even more shocking.

Someone dug out a few other photos of the new "sanitary napkin factory" based on their memory: "It's from the same group as this one. What kind of building is this in Jiangzhou? It's very beautiful."

The city is proud: "This is the surprise that Xiao Rang has brought in his work. He led his team to spearhead the construction of a new sanitary napkin factory in the Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone. It went into production within a month, raised funds on its own, and created thousands of jobs. They were originally planning to cut the ribbon before National Day."

Now everyone was shocked and looked at the photo album. What kind of speed was this?

It shouldn't be some pretentious thing to do.

God knows that Weidong was just planning to secretly slip a few more photos of the factory into the newspaper’s film festival!
