Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 33 [No.036] "Advertising" in exchange for rice

A long queue formed at the entrance of the main store of "100 Convenience" at Fuzhao Street at two o'clock in the morning. Many people were carrying small benches and wearing thick military coats, waiting for the supermarket's opening ceremony at 9 o'clock in the morning. Individuals can receive a bag of [-] kilograms of local rice for free, a total of [-] bags, while supplies last.

After receiving the rice, there will be a lottery draw according to the order in which the rice is received. Each of the ten people who are drawn can get a Giant bent-handle shifter worth 688 yuan.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Hua dressed up and began to speak into the microphone. Xie Wenjun was amused by the crowd. How could he be attending the opening ceremony in this attire, and it was nothing more than a wedding.

Zeng Hongzhang and Deputy Mayor Zhao also delivered speeches. After the end, all the leaders participated in the ribbon-cutting, reporters took pictures, and singing and dancing performances...

After more than an hour of tossing like this, Liu Hua lit a series of 100-fired firecrackers. After the crackling was over, Liu Hua said into the microphone: "[-] Convenience opens today, and everyone can receive a bag of local rice for free. Don’t leave after rice, we will draw a lottery with the number plates in your hands, the prize is a Giant transmission car, everyone will line up in order, and now we will start to distribute rice.”

After a burst of sparse applause, the big guys swarmed up, and the strong man who was handing out the rice would be pushed down by them, and Liu Hua maintained order with his voice.

Deputy Mayor Zhao walked up to Zeng Hongzhang, and said with a smile: "Old Zeng, your opening ceremony was well done. There are so many people, and the publicity work is well done. Even I feel inferior, haha."

Zeng Hongzhang said modestly: "Mayor Zhao is too polite. Based on your many years of work experience in the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, I can't compare with you. These are all done by young people. I am just assisting from the side. By the way, here you are." Introducing my partner."

Zeng Hongzhang called Liu Hua over: "Mayor Zhao, this is Liu Hua, my partner. He is responsible for all the work in the convenience store, so I just let go of the shopkeeper, haha."

Liu Hua, deputy mayor of Zhao, shook hands enthusiastically, and said with emotion: "I have seen your supermarket's business policy. It is not bad. It is in line with the inevitable trend of economic development. In my opinion, it will become the leader of our Linxi consumer goods market in the future. Work hard. If you have any difficulties in development, you can come to me directly. The city is vigorously developing the non-public economy. Your chain store is indeed a good project. gone."

With Deputy Mayor Zhao's words, Liu Hua tried his best to flatter him, making Deputy Mayor Zhao laugh out loud.

Xie Wenjun felt bored after staying for a while, but just as he was about to leave, he saw Cao Yunfang chatting and laughing with several female workers from the machine tool factory in the rice collection line.

Xie Wenjun walked over to say hello to Auntie a few times, and then asked Cao Yunfang, "Mom, are you here to pick up the rice too?"

"Yes, Aunt Li saw rice distribution here in the newspaper yesterday, so she invited us to come together. By the way, it turns out that little Liu Hua also works here." Cao Yunfang suddenly felt something was wrong, and said strangely, "Why did you come here? , shouldn't you be at school at this time?"

Oops, I actually forgot about this, Xie Wenjun hurriedly said: "I'll be fine after the test this morning. I don't go to school until this afternoon. I just wanted to come and play with Brother Liu Hua."

"Really," Cao Yunfang was skeptical, "You already knew that little Liu Hua was working here, why didn't you tell us?"

"It's not a big deal, I forgot to say, I'm leaving first."

"Don't run around, little Liu Hua is busy, I don't have time to talk to you, come and line up with my mother." Cao Yunfang was afraid that this naughty son would affect Liu Hua's work, so she hurriedly pulled him into the queue.

Halfway through the rice distribution activity, Xie Wenjun looked at the long queue in front of him, and found that [-] bags of rice were not enough to distribute to them, so he said, "Mom, stop queuing, I heard Brother Liu Hua said that there are only [-] bags of rice, look Seeing so many people, it’s our turn to be gone.”

"Ah? Only five hundred bags will be distributed," Aunt Li thought for a while, "Yunfang, didn't you say that the person you spoke to was your former neighbor, why don't you go talk to him and let us join the queue. "

"Yes, yes." All the female workers urged.

"This..." Cao Yunfang was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't know how to do and didn't want to do such tricky things, but he couldn't bear to let everyone line up for nothing all morning, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"You can't jump in the queue," Xie Wenjun shouted, "Brother Liu Hua said that many people in front of you started to queue last night, and many of them are people with family difficulties. We are going to jump in other people's queues. Are you embarrassed?"

"Xiaojun, isn't it difficult for your Aunt Li and our family? Your family is not much better." Aunt Li pointed to the back of the team, "Look at the group of people behind. Old Chen used to be in the factory, and the factory went bankrupt a long time ago, so they are also in trouble."

Xie Wenjun suddenly had an idea: "Uh...Mom, Aunt Li, you wait in line first. I remember Brother Liu Hua said that there seems to be something to send. I will help you to ask." Xie Wenjun finished speaking and ignored Cao Yunfang's call just ran away.

All the leaders left, Vice Mayor Zhao and Zeng Hongzhang also left. Liu Hua was helping to distribute rice. Xie Wenjun pulled him aside and said, "Besides these five hundred bags of rice, how many more do we have in the store?"

Liu Hua thought for a while: "Not many, it shouldn't exceed a hundred bags."

"That's it." Xie Wenjun roughly calculated the number of people queuing up. If everyone had to deliver at least [-] bags, "Then what rice do we have more in the store?"

"Thai pearl rice, there are still more than 300 bags." Liu Hua looked suspicious. That’s it, there’s no need to send it again.”

"Many of the people in the back are people in need. Let's send it if we can, and..." Xie Wenjun said with a sly smile, "It's all for publicity, Brother Hua, go and seal a red envelope for each reporter in the newspaper office, and ask them to wait a little longer." , Let’s just say that we still have a message to publish, but they don’t need to write the manuscript, I will write it now, and then I will announce it to everyone, saying that we only distributed [-] bags, but I can’t bear everyone to queue up and get everything However, there are many needy people and we can’t bear it, so we temporarily decided to continue distributing rice until the last person. Anyway, you can say whatever you want, and you can play freely. Thai pearl rice will be divided and changed to every Ten kilograms of human hair."

After the confession was over, they each split up, and Xie Wenjun found a quiet place, took out a pen and paper, and finished a report on sensationalism with a few swipes.

Liu Hua hurriedly took the manuscript to the newspaper reporters. They didn't have to write the manuscript and got a red envelope, and the reporters were happy.

The next day, a report titled "Enthusiasm for Social Welfare, 100 Conveniences Warm Citizens' Hearts" appeared in the newspaper. It is comforting that 5000 years of excellent traditions of Chinese civilization have reappeared in the world.

Xie Wenjun looked at the newspaper and laughed. If this kind of naked paid news was placed in the previous life, the manuscript would have been thrown into the trash can, and there was no way to change it into typeface. At first, it was a headache for the publicity fee, but now it is used Hundreds of bags of rice are exchanged for such an "advertisement" that is more effective than advertisements, great!
