Labor Day, May Day in 1985, arrived in the sunshine.

The capital presents the atmosphere of a prosperous big country.

Tiananmen Square was filled with balloons, kites, pigeons and tourists, and blooming flowers were used to form a flower bed to celebrate May Day.

The four huge portraits of "Main and Lenes" are also surrounded by colorful flowers.

However, entering this month of pleasant weather, the more important social news in Beijing is basically limited to what is happening locally.

In addition to those related to people's livelihood and economy, it is also related to cultural activities.

For example, Shibalidian Township, Chaoyang District, Beijing, raised its own funds to develop the city's first collective bus line.

The line starts from the east entrance of Jinsong, Chaoyang District, and ends at the southernmost end of Shibalidian Township, with a total length of nine kilometers.

For another example, with the approval of the State Council, the Beijing city government issued a notice to adjust the prices of pigs and other non-staple food and rural grain and oil.

It was decided that starting from May 10, the prices of five non-staple food items, including meat, eggs, poultry, fish and vegetables, would be relaxed, the unified purchase of grain and oil in rural areas would be cancelled, and contract ordering would be implemented.

In order not to lower the actual living standards of the majority of urban residents, the Beijing City Government provides a monthly subsidy of 7.5 yuan to each urban resident.

In addition, there is news that world heavyweight boxing champion Ali will come to Beijing again.

You know, the development of boxing in the Republic once stagnated.

In 1958, an accident on the boxing ring gave boxing a reputation as being too cruel, and it was immediately banned in our country.

Ali came to the capital of the Republic with the purpose of promoting boxing and changing the Republic's stereotypes about boxing.

To this end, Ali came to the "Sports News" through the National Sports Commission and had a special discussion with the newspaper's editors and reporters.

Regarding the question "Is boxing safe" that is of concern to the general public, Ali's answer is, "Compared with other sports, such as racing, skiing, football, etc., boxing has a high safety factor and the highest risk factor among all sports.

After twenty."

To this end, Ali hoped that boxing should be re-launched in the Republic, and he even expressed his willingness to help train boxers.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that although Ali had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, his symptoms were not yet obvious at this time.

In order to prove that he was in good health, Ali actually stood up and performed a little magic trick for the audience, and his movements were very realistic.

In this way, this time Ali stayed in the Republic for more than five days and once again received a lot of attention from the Chinese people.

Because of his optimistic, positive and humorous personality, his lobbying work has achieved remarkable results.

A year later, when he came to Beijing for the third time, he achieved his goal of making boxing popular in my country.

For this reason, we have to admit that the quality of Americans who came to China in the 1980s was indeed high.

In addition to well-known athletes like Ali who have both ability and character, there are also officials like George H.W. Bush who have both political vision and gentlemanly manners.

There is a huge difference between these people and the Americans who lied and indulged in materialistic desires a few decades later and were not ashamed to trample on morality but were proud of breaking cans and smashing cans.

This is probably an important factor why contemporary Chinese people have a lot of unrealistic favorable impressions and fantasies about the United States.

Of course, this can also reflect an obvious trend of American decline.

Thirty years later, Americans will really be like a litter of rat litters.

Not to mention that ordinary people have to live in a situation where guns, drugs, racial discrimination, and inflation are rampant. Even the quality of the elite group is not good.

Bush Sr.'s sons are all hooligans.

Other people in power are even worse. Not only are they morally corrupt, they have no credibility, they have no public conscience and only have selfish interests.

Moreover, telling lies with eyes open without blushing has become a necessary skill, and it is also labeled as political correctness.

Isn’t this country in such a state of chaos the same as the late Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago?

Maybe this is also a kind of change of fortune...

As for other social news in the capital this month, there are two main things related to Ning Weimin.

First, the renovation of the first floor of Tianqiao Department Store was finally completed. We worked hard and slowly and finally opened it as scheduled during the May Day holiday.

Second, the exhibition of the TV series "Journey to the West" has also been set up at Nanshen Kitchen in Temple of Heaven Park, and it is also eager to open its doors at this time to welcome guests.

Needless to say, both of these things must be advertised.

But relatively speaking, Tianqiao Department Store is undoubtedly more worry-free.

Because the district government attaches great importance to this matter, Deputy District Chief Xu personally contacted media channels to make arrangements.

Not only were relevant advertisements put out early in the month before May Day, but the media basically discounted their charges.

It can be regarded as supporting the work of the district government and giving a friendly price.

Local newspapers in the capital, whether daily, evening newspapers or TV newspapers, are all published in prominent positions.

Although there was no advertisement on the TV station, the radio station also conducted an exclusive interview on the matter, which can be described as a huge momentum.

Needless to say, the advertisement caused a stir in the city as soon as it was released.

The news spread from one to ten, and everyone who knew the news found it incredible.

The Tianqiao Department Store actually made such a big fuss without making any noise, and was actually willing to give up the business area on the first floor in exchange for six international big-name clothing brands including Pierre Cardin and Goldlion to settle there.

Even the heads of the Beijing Department Store and Xidan Shopping Mall were shocked by the huge advertisements in the newspapers.

Their subsequent reaction was to hold a meeting behind closed doors to collectively discuss whether Tianqiao Department Store's move was a clever move or a bad move.

Are you crazy? Why are you renting your business area to others?

It's so stupid to lose money and make a profit like this!

However, after many discussions, it was the first time for everyone to see things done like this.

All we can guess is that the motive of Tianqiao Department Store is to build a reputation and attract more customers.

As for the results and whether it is cost-effective, no one can say why, we can only wait and see.

Speaking of May Day, the leaders of the district government will definitely come to inspect.

Ning Weimin no longer cares about the Temple of Heaven Park, so he can only focus on the opening of Tianqiao Department Store.

Two hours before the mall opened, he took Ganlu and Yin Yue to Tianqiao Department Store to prepare for the opening.

Fortunately, the flower baskets used today were from the greenhouse in Temple of Heaven Park.

Probably for the sake of money, the director of the Temple of Heaven won't have too many complaints.

Even better is that Ning Weimin has the final say for all six brands.

This is quite coordinated, and the distribution of flowers and flower baskets will not conflict at all.

The biggest and best flower basket flowers are of course given to Pierre Cardin and Jinli.

As for Yi La De, plus Ning Weimin's three clothing stores, each uses different colors and lower-grade flower baskets.

After placing the flower baskets, we started checking the goods, inspecting them, displaying them, holding a mobilization meeting for the sales staff of the six brands, and communicating with the mall in advance on safety and welcoming issues.

Although these tasks sound a bit trivial.

However, both Ganlu, the representative of Pierre Cardon, and Yin Yue, the representative of the street factory, are experienced and completely at ease.

Not only were the two girls unhurried, but they also had the guts to do so. They couldn't help but smile at each other when they met.

Because they both remembered the time when the four of them, "Beautiful and Pure Foreign Meizi", accompanied Ning Weimin to Jianguo Hotel to open the first Pierre Cardin store.

Now it feels as if they are still colleagues fighting side by side, as if Yin Yue has never left Pierre Cardon.

What's more, they never imagined in their dreams how long it had been since Yin Yue's accident!

Today, they have transformed, each in charge of three brands, and together they almost occupy the first floor of a large department store.

Yan Li and Yang Liujin got along well, one was the secretary to the general manager and the other was the business representative stationed in the joint venture.

You wouldn’t do this even if you were daydreaming, right?

How can we keep them both from being excited and excited?

As for whether today's big shot can be fired, and how successful the start will be.

Just look at the crowds that are gathering at the door waiting for the door to open as people continue to pour in from all directions, and you can roughly estimate it.

Everyone at Tianqiao Department Store was surprised by this, saying that on weekdays there would only be a dozen or so scattered people waiting at the door. On the day the mall officially opened, there were only a thousand people at the door.

Never before have there been so many people.

So Yin Yue and Gan Lu were not worried at all.

But then again, shopping malls are starting to worry.

Because obviously, when the doors open, there may be thousands of people gathered at the door.

They were really unsure whether there would be a safety risk if all these people came in at once.

Especially for the security section chief of the shopping mall, it is really stressful.

Don’t forget, the district leaders are here to speak and cut the ribbon.

If something really happened at the scene, how could he be held responsible?

But there was no turning back from this matter, so he had no choice but to call the branch and ask for temporary additional manpower.
