Chapter 419: The First Brother at the Temple Fair
As expected, Ning Weimin got his wish.
On the second day after the temple fair officially started, not only did the TV station actually come to interview.
And the high specifications were beyond his expectation.
Maybe it’s because it involves the internationally renowned brand Pierre Carton.
On the same day, foreign reporters from Agence France-Presse and Reuters came to take photos and publish articles after hearing the news.
In addition to the Beijing TV station sending people to conduct exclusive interviews, even the national TV station also sent reporters.
So Ning Weimin's garden party became a representative scene of the Spring Festival in the capital and was featured on the "Xinwen Lianbo" in the second grade of junior high school.
On the TV screen after 7:30 that night, the live footage was played for half a minute.
Even this "Sculpture Art Garden Party" was praised by Xue Fei, the host of "Xinwen Lianbo", as a "new temple fair" that combines Chinese and Western cultures.
It is said that this event symbolizes the arrival of the spring of cultural exchanges between the Republic and France.
It goes without saying, what an exciting official encouragement this is.
This is not only the government’s policy endorsement of Ning Weimin’s “initiative”, but also a positive affirmation of Pierre Carton’s business in China.
It also means that the higher authorities have sent an obvious signal that the tradition of the Spring Festival temple fair can be restored.
Presumably during the Spring Festival next year, more parks will spring up in Beijing to follow suit.
From every aspect, it is a great thing.
And the most important thing is that with the "Xinwen Lianbo" report, the influence of this garden party will be completely different.
What could be a more powerful advertisement than this!
Not only did it directly make the people in the capital more eager to attend the garden party, they longed for it.
The credit content of everyone involved in promoting this matter has also been greatly increased.
Not to mention that the leadership team of Temple of Heaven Park and Qiao Wan are proud of themselves and are ready to receive commendations and awards from their superiors.
Ning Weimin has thus firmly established himself as "the first person to restore the tradition of Spring Festival temple fairs" and "the pioneer of innovative temple fair formats".
As long as the new temple fair in the capital is mentioned again in the future, no one's "status in the world" will be greater than his.
It can be said that from now on, he will be the "first brother of the temple fair" in the capital.
No one can deny that he made a vital contribution to the folk culture of the capital.
Of course, no matter what happens, there will definitely be people who will be jealous and feel unconvinced.
Privately, most of these people would think that Ning Weimin was just lucky enough to get such a big advantage.
But we are really talking about this.
Because the reason why a person is successful cannot be achieved by luck alone.
You must also have certain virtues and abilities that complement each other. You can't have virtues that are incompatible with each other.
Of course Ning Weimin was lucky to be on "Xinwen Lianbo".
But if you want to operate this activity to the general satisfaction of the people and get a better and better reputation from person to person, you have to rely on your sincerity and true ability.
Otherwise, if you rely solely on opportunism to gain advantage, it will be useless when doing practical things.
No matter how much gold powder others put on their faces, it will fall off.
The higher you climb, the harder you will fall.
So it must be said that Ning Weimin deserves this title and this honor.
If anyone doesn’t believe it, you can go and see the garden party.
With so much passenger flow, Ning Weimin was able to arrange everything in an orderly manner, which is something that ordinary people cannot do.
It is enough for those who are disapproving of him to understand and study seriously.
If nothing else, first of all, fire prevention is a huge problem.
You know, these days almost every man smokes, and most people also like to throw cigarette butts everywhere.
This problem is particularly bad and can easily cause a fire.
Especially for a place with many trees like the Temple of Heaven, it is a hidden danger that absolutely needs special attention.
This would really burn down the woods, burn down the ancient buildings, and burn down the tourists.
Whoever organizes this event must bear corresponding responsibilities.
So to be on the safe side, Ning Weimin bought more than 200 new fire extinguishers, not counting those he already had in Zhai Palace.
There are two placed around each stall and outside the Zhaigongwushe.
At the same time, we also organized people to post eye-catching reminders in conspicuous places: "It is dry in winter, please do not throw cigarette butts".
And before that, Ning Weimin specially invited firefighters to train all Zhai Palace staff on basic fire prevention knowledge.
Everyone is required to remember clearly where shovels, buckets, and other fire-fighting items are stored.
In case of emergencies during the garden party, correct and timely emergency measures can be taken immediately.
It is precisely because of this that in these days of the garden party.
Although it happens almost every day that cigarette butts ignite garbage and leaves several times.
However, the staff on site managed to put out the fire in time and successfully ensured the safety of the park activities.
Otherwise, it will turn into a big disaster.
Secondly, after fire prevention there is also theft prevention.
Ning Weimin had long known that the public security department would severely punish criminal offenses this year.
Of course, we are not optimistic about the current situation of social security and take security protection lightly.
In addition, there are many beautiful girls in Zhai Palace, so it is easy to attract unscrupulous people.
So in order to ensure that the park activities can be carried out harmoniously and smoothly, while reporting to the police station.
Ning Weimin teamed up with the Temple of Heaven Garden authorities and expressed the hope that the police station would deploy police force to support.
In the end, the overstretched police station asked the branch for instructions, and finally ten police officers were dispatched from the branch to take charge of security maintenance.
Don’t mention it, with these "townships" wearing official clothes, it is different.
Everywhere is a harmonious scene.
There is really no one who dares to stir up trouble and cause trouble.
There were quite a few thieves caught, almost a dozen of them every day. It is estimated that after fifteen days, the number of thieves caught alone will be over a hundred.
I’m afraid it’s enough for the policemen who supported the garden party to receive awards for their meritorious service.
Later, there are the issues of diverting crowds and on-site emergency response.
To this end, Ning Weimin asked the Temple of Heaven Garden to set up two emergency offices at the west gate entrance and Zhai Palace gate with the functions of complaints, inquiries, alarms, first aid bandaging and lost and found items.
At the same time, he also asked the park to arrange more than 20 people as safety inspectors to disperse the crowds throughout the Zhai Palace.
To avoid accidental safety accidents such as trampling, looting, collision, and loss of children.
As for the problem of garbage removal and toilet use, of course it cannot be underestimated.
Although it may seem like a minor detail on the surface, if it is not handled well, it will directly affect the tourist experience.
Just think about it, who wants to wander around in a garbage dump, smelling the smell, eating, and holding back a stomach full of shit and pee?
No matter how good your mood is, it will be ruined.
But to be honest, it is not easy to get these two kinds of infrastructure in place.
Because it has to cope with such a huge crowd, the park’s original facilities cannot handle it and are definitely not suitable.
But if you want to buy it separately, it costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan just to buy a trash can, and 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to build a toilet.
Don’t say it’s not cost-effective, the key is not to rush.
Therefore, Ning Weimin had no choice but to make do with some improvised methods.
Ning Weimin relied on Aunt Mi to solve the problem of the trash can.
Nothing else, I contacted the vegetable company through the food station system.
Then he spent 500 yuan to buy a hundred large rattan baskets specially used to transport vegetables and fruits.
This thing is big.
There is no problem in improvising, and it can be used as a trash can next to a stall.
You can even dispose of it directly as garbage after use, which is extremely convenient.
The only hard work is the park cleaning team of more than 20 people.
The garbage produced by hundreds of thousands of people, a hundred garbage baskets, is scary to think about.
It all depends on them wearing masks, enduring the stench and filth, and taking them away one after another.
Regarding the toilet issue, Ning Weimin had even more ideas.
The first is to change most of the men's and women's toilets open to tourists in the park into women's toilets.
Specialized care must be arranged at the door. Only women and young children are allowed to enter. Men are not allowed to enter.
The second is to use straw mats to fence the area in the woods near Zhai Palace to serve as a temporary men's toilet.
At the same time, the areas for defecation and urination must be separated independently.
The reason is also very simple. After all, there are only a few people who need to defecate.
The important thing is that it is much easier for men to go to the toilet than for women. Standing to urinate can solve the problem.
The simple conditions are not unacceptable to the majority of gay men.
As a garden administrator, as long as a few deep ditches are dug in the area surrounded by straw mats, it will be a temporary toilet.
The aftermath is equally simple. After retting and fertilizing, burying it is done. It will also help the trees to flourish.
The only thing that needs to be considered more is the toilet problem for the elderly.
So Ning Weimin designated the toilet closest to Zhai Palace as a toilet exclusively for the elderly.
Depending on the physical condition of the elderly, one family member may be allowed to accompany them.
But other than that, no one, not even women and children, are allowed to enter.
But compared with these, Ning Weimin is most commendable.
It has to be said that he has a foresight and a bottom line in what he does.
He did not completely abandon his conscience. Like many temple fair organizers thirty years later, they only regarded this kind of activity as a place to purely make money.
Although the time is tight and the task is heavy.
However, for the sake of word-of-mouth and reputation, Ning Weimin still tries his best to arrange the content based on the actual needs of the people.
Not only did two special areas for performance stage and floor performance be opened, but a Yangko parade was also organized.
They also spent a lot of money to invite actors from Peking Opera, singing and dancing, acrobatics, martial arts, lion dance, storytelling, cross talk, wrestling, Chinese flags, and ancient colorful tricks to perform.
He even invited several small craftsmen who made candied haws skewers, dough kneaders, sugar blowers, and windmills from the outskirts of the city.
The conditions given are quite generous.
Not only do we not charge venue fees, but we also take care of meals every day.
If someone earns less than thirty yuan, he is still responsible for paying for it.
In this way, Ning Weimin's garden party will never be like the one thirty years later.
After walking around for a long time, it was so crowded that I couldn’t even walk.
You can’t see the performance, you can only see the same businesses.
A situation where there is nothing else to do but pay and get ripped off.
On the other hand, although there were many people visiting this time, the service was quite good.
The flow of people is orderly and garbage can be removed in a timely manner.
Every problem will be solved by someone, and there will be harmony everywhere.
The content of the performance is also quite realistic. Many traditional artists perform programs that are loved by people in the capital.
Think about it, the performance at the temple fair has come back again after so many years, how can people be unhappy?
So Ning Weimin’s garden party really looked like celebrating the New Year.
Everywhere is bustling and bustling, and people are smiling and happy.
Although it is not perfect yet and there are still many things that are not done well, the flaws do not hide the flaws.
To be honest, such meticulous planning and organization work is already at the top level these days.
