The official way of rebirth

In mid-February, at the International Exhibition Bureau headquarters in Paris, the Huanghai Expo delegation made a report on the Huanghai World Expo 2002 bid to the Executive Committee of the International Exhibition Bureau. Tang Yi, leader of the Yellow Sea Expo work leading group and Huanghai Mayor, reported

Zhong expressed that Huanghai has the confidence, conditions and ability to successfully host the 2002 World Expo. 17 executive members of the International Exhibition Bureau including Salazi, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Exhibition Bureau, listened to Huanghai City's presentation report.

Tang Yi gave a presentation in fluent English. When a Spanish executive member raised a question, Tang Yi even responded to his question in authentic Spanish, making the Spanish executive member smile.

Yu Liang, Secretary-General of the Yellow Sea Expo Leading Group, introduced the specific situation of the Yellow Sea bid to the Executive Committee of the International Exhibition Bureau, including the organizational structure of the Yellow Sea Expo Working Group, the bidding concept of "energy saving, environmental protection, green, humanities", the World Expo site

Venue planning and Huanghai citizens actively learning English, participating in environmental protection, and taking practical actions to support the application for the Expo.

Li Xue, secretary of the Expo Application Working Group, is a freshly graduated college student. She is beautiful and elegant. She explained to the executive committee members the specific planning of the Expo site, various environmental indicators of the Yellow Sea, and the ecological community under construction, with full 3 demonstrations and real photos.

Combined, the effect is extremely realistic. Tang Yi asked his mother's top 3D team to produce it, and coupled with Li Xue's explanation, it gives people an immersive feeling.

Overall, the entire bid was considered a success. At the same time, the Huanghai Song and Dance Troupe and the Acrobatic Troupe also came to Paris. This was also part of a series of publicity activities in Huanghai City. Of course, the Song and Dance Troupe and the Acrobatic Troupe specially hired domestic talents.

Top performing artists temporarily joined the show to perform the musical "Dance of the Sea", which combines Chinese acrobatics, folk songs and dances, at the Grand Theater des Champs Elysées in Paris. It received unanimous praise from members of the National Exhibition Bureau and people from all walks of life in Paris.

In a skyscraper that reaches straight into the sky, in a luxuriously decorated room, Tang Yi stood in front of the blue glass floor-to-ceiling curtain, overlooking the panoramic view of romantic Paris, with the beautiful Seine River winding like a blue ribbon, as if it was right under his feet.

The Huanghai Expo delegation stayed at the New York Hotel. The New York Hotel in Paris is mainly composed of a hotel building and a low-rise building. The low-rise building is used for casinos, shopping malls and performances. The giant signature archway is shaped like a Paris hot air balloon. The entire

The building is majestic and full of French romantic style.

The New York Hotel in Paris has more than 3,000 spacious guest rooms, which are full of French flavor from the inside out. The hotel's luxurious style, exquisite craftsmanship and perfect details are extraordinary. The guest rooms are gorgeously decorated, with European furniture and luxurious marble bathrooms, which are private and private.

Wonderful paradise.

Tang Yi and other delegation members lived in a luxurious suite on the 25th floor. In terms of security, in addition to the four armed police soldiers accompanying the delegation, the Paris police also took corresponding security measures.

Ding dong, the sound of the doorbell interrupted Tang Yi, who was in reverie. He walked over and looked through the peephole. Outside the door were Deputy Mayor Jia Yuejun and Secretary General Deng Wenzhi. Tang Yi opened the door and invited them into the living room.

Tang Yi lived in a two-bedroom suite, and Cai Ming lived in the smaller bedroom. While Tang Yi was drinking tea and thinking in the living room, he stayed in the bedroom to sort out information. When he heard the doorbell, he came out to help Jia Yuejun and Deng Wenzhi.

Make coffee.

Tang Yi sat across from them and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

In the past two days, Jia Yuejun and Deng Wenzhi visited the executive members of the Executive Committee of the International Exhibition Bureau every day to lobby them, because in this kind of international organization, some executive members have the ability to influence a group of member country representatives.

Trade-off.

Jia Yuejun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't believe that the executive committee members of African countries seem to be carved out of the same mold. The two executive committee members directly asked me if I could solve the problem of their children's relatives studying or settling in Europe. I don't know.

Am I not aware enough and misunderstood what they meant?"

Tang Yi smiled and looked at Deng Wenzhi again. Deng Wenzhi spread his hands and made a very Western expression of helplessness and said: "The executive committee I visited was fine. He must have listened carefully to our proposition.

But William, the British executive committee member, made some difficult-to-understand requests, which I think are making things difficult. As for the fact that he often talks about his preference for domestic jade, I don’t know if that’s a hint."

Although Cai Ming did not dare to interrupt, he cursed in his heart: You damn devil, why are you so virtuous?

Tang Yi frowned slightly. Many things were different between this world and the world he had experienced. For example, the Salt Lake City scandal was not exposed. Or perhaps, there was no bribery in this world's Salt Lake City bid to host the Winter Olympics. But no matter what,

, without this shocking revelation, the numerous shady stories of some international organizations did not receive enough attention.

Jia Yuejun took a sip of coffee and wanted to say something but held back. He wanted to say whether he should allocate some funds to deal with those representatives, but when he said this, he didn't know what Mayor Tang would think of him, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Drinking coffee loudly.

Deng Wenzhi pondered for a while and said, "Let me see, how about I go do some work?" He knew that Tang Yi could not explicitly agree to the bribery. Apart from other things, he said that if it was revealed in the future, it would have a negative impact on Tang Yi's image.

The consequences may be catastrophic.

Tang Yi shook his head without thinking and said: "No." Then he looked at Deng Wenzhi seriously: "I'm serious." He was just worried that Deng Wenzhi would solve it by himself.

Deng Wenzhi nodded and picked up the cup to drink coffee.

Cai Ming looked at the three silent leaders and felt a little worried. He knew what it would mean to Mayor Tang if the application for the World Expo failed to succeed.

Originally, it was not too difficult to apply for this kind of professional World Expo, especially since only one city in the Yellow Sea applied for it in 2000. Without any earth-shattering mistakes, relying on the conditions and preparations in the Yellow Sea, and the support of the motherland, the application should be successful, but now

When some executive committee members ask for bribes, if Mayor Tang ignores them and offends these executive committee members, it will be a big trouble.

Tang Yi lit up a cigarette, thought about it and said, "Let's do this. You continue to lobby the other executive committee members. After all, what you are talking about is a special situation and cannot be generalized. We still have to apply openly and openly and not use those little tricks.

"He added: "I will visit Secretary-General Mr. Marotta to try to gain his support."

Jia Yuejun and Deng Wenzhi both nodded.

The standing office of the International Exhibition Bureau is the Secretariat, and the Secretary-General is the top leader of the office. The current Secretary-General Marotta is a Swiss. After accompanying Tang Yi and his party to visit some institutions of the International Exhibition Bureau, in the VIP reception room, Marotta

Ta and Tang Yi had a cordial and friendly conversation.

The reception room is luxurious and luxurious. Looking out from the window, you can see the famous Champs Elysees Avenue.

Of course, Tang Yi introduced the situation and determination of the Yellow Sea World Expo in a very polite manner at the beginning, saying that not only the people of the Yellow Sea, but also the billions of people across the country also eagerly hope that the World Expo can be held in the Yellow Sea.

Marotta smiled, folded his hands on his chest and listened carefully, but his eyes looked a little indifferent, which of course could not be hidden from Tang Yi's eyes.

Tang Yi is very good at breaking up deadlocks in conversations. When he visited the secretary-general's office, he saw a photo frame on Marotta's desk. The photo inside was of a young and beautiful lady. Thinking of Marotta's personal information,

I thought it was his daughter, the young writer.

Tang Yi was about to open the topic with his daughter's works when Marotta's secretary suddenly hurried into the reception room, whispered something in Marotta's ear, and handed Marotta a mobile phone. Because it was a private meeting.

Marotta also seemed more casual, said sorry, walked to the window and answered the phone.

Tang Yi took the opportunity to think about how to talk about that avant-garde work. After all, Marotta is a relatively conservative person. I wonder if he has any prejudice against his daughter's avant-garde.

Marotta's voice over there gradually became louder and even a little angry. Tang Yi was slightly stunned. After listening carefully, he gradually heard some clues. It was probably a call from an official of the National Exhibition Bureau. It seemed to be the call of the National Exhibition Bureau to be held next month.

Reception questions for all members’ congress

Question, originally the notice had been sent out, and the host hotel was the New York Hotel, but who knew that the relevant departments were not well coordinated. The New York Hotel will host several international conferences next month. In addition, there are not many rooms reserved for tourists.

Vacant beds.

Because Tang Yi was here, Marotta tried his best to suppress his anger, criticized the staff who reported a few words, then hung up the phone, walked back and reluctantly showed a smile to Tang Yi, and said: "Let's continue!"

Tang Yi thought for a while and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Marotta, I overheard your call just now and know that you are worried about the reception of the conference next month."

Marotta frowned slightly, feeling that Tang Yi was a little rude, but didn't say much.

Tang Yi added: "That's right, if possible, maybe I can help, because when the New York Hotel Group expanded its business in our country, I established a good personal friendship with one of their senior executives."

Marotta smiled and said: "It's nothing, we will find a new hotel." There were slight changes in the slightly yellow eyes.

Tang Yi knew keenly that he still hoped to implement the reception work at the New York Hotel, which was very close to the headquarters, and there was no need to modify the notice, thus avoiding a lot of trouble. He said: "I'd better make a phone call, and have one more option.

It’s always a good thing, right?”

He said sorry, took the phone from Cai Ming, stood up and walked to the window, turned on the phone and dialed Ruth, said a few words, returned to the sofa, and said with a smile: "It should be possible to arrange a reception for the conference delegates, it will be later.

The hotel will contact the secretariat.”

Marotta was a little surprised. On such occasions, no one would lie without complete assurance, and the behavior of this red state official surprised him.

Tang Yi chatted with him again, and slowly talked about his daughter. When Tang Yi said that he liked to see his daughter, Marotta was even more surprised and said: "I'm not afraid, have you really watched "Heart"?

"?"

Tang Yi nodded and said: "Actually, her works do not advocate a chaotic life, but reflect dissatisfaction with today's society. It's just that most people can't see this!" Defining a work can make all the difference, it's Tang.

A pen like Yi is good at it.

After weighing it up, Tang Yi finally decided to talk about Marotta's daughter, because Tang Yi believed that there are not many people who don't like their children. No matter how duplicitous they are in words, most people still hope that their children will be recognized by others.

.

Sure enough, Marotta became happy. A senior official from a conservative red country recognized and understood his daughter's work. This was undoubtedly the greatest comfort to him.

As the atmosphere between the two chatted became more and more harmonious, Tang Yi gradually brought the topic to the Yellow Sea Expo. At this time, Marotta was already asking interesting questions, and he was very interested in the city in charge of the young official in front of him.

curious.

Tang Yi finally smiled and said: "Although we in Huanghai are confident that we can successfully host next year's World Expo, some members of the executive committee seem to have some misunderstandings about our application for the Expo. I don't know how to explain it. Is it because they have some misunderstandings about Huanghai's economic strength?"

Do you have any questions? Secretary-General Marotta, our application for the Expo does not have funds for special activities."

Marotta smiled. Like an old fox, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Tang, you are the first sponsor to complain to me about the ugly phenomenon of the Executive Committee. Coincidentally, I received the news that the International

The Olympic Committee seems to be in big trouble, and the International Exhibition Bureau has just prepared to launch an internal investigation into the members of the organization. So your worries are unnecessary, and you don’t have to take these little jokes to heart."

Tang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I fully trust the fairness and transparency of the agencies of the Bureau of International Exhibitions. I believe that under the leadership of Secretary-General Marotta, the Bureau of International Exhibitions will become an excellent place for the successful operation of intergovernmental international organizations.

model."

After finishing the conversation with Marotta, Tang Yi returned to the hotel in the black stretched Lincoln prepared by the hotel. There was a Paris police car in front of him. Of course, there were no police lights or badges, so it was very low-key.

Cai Ming participated in the meeting from beginning to end. Although his English was not good enough and he could only understand roughly. But he could see the change in Marotta's attitude. He really admired Mayor Tang and was determined to go back.

You should practice your foreign language speaking well, otherwise you will really not be able to keep up with the development of the times.

Tang Yi reached out and Cai Ming immediately handed over the phone knowingly. Tang Yi turned on the phone and was about to make another call to Ruth when the music on the phone rang. He looked at the number and it was Huang Lin.

After the call was connected, Huang Lin smiled first: "Mayor, have you already completed the work of applying for the World Expo?"

Tang Yi smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, but you must participate in the decisive battle next month."

Huang Lin happily agreed. Then she said: "Mayor Enhong had something happen. It was at Xiaonanhe. When mobilizing the factory to relocate, he was sued by the small owners to the province. The provincial party committee paid great attention to it. Secretary Niu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection personally took charge of it.

The investigation team is here to investigate the situation."

There is a Xiaonan River in the suburbs of Huanghai. Due to the indiscriminate discharge of sewage by nearby households and factories, the river has been emitting a stinky smell for 20 years.

While applying for the expo, Tang Yi proposed a comprehensive improvement of the Xiaonan River. Unlicensed factories must be resolutely banned. Factories with formal procedures must be ordered to carry out environmental protection rectification, and those without conditions must be relocated. The villages on both sides of the river must be renovated into old villages.

Renovate and improve the village's pipe network and municipal supporting facilities so that sewage can be discharged somewhere, and Xiaonan River must be restored to its former crystal clear style.

This work was urgent and the task was heavy. At the municipal government executive meeting, Tang Yi told Zhao Enhong, who was in charge of municipal construction, to personally handle it.

Hearing that Zhao Enhong had made a mistake, Tang Yi scratched his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Huang Lindao: "Several factory legal persons who were ordered to relocate jointly wrote a letter to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, saying that Mayor Enhong had a rough working attitude, hired gang members to intimidate them, put up big-character posters, and called their families to threaten them. It seems that the provincial

The committee attaches great importance to it, and Secretary Niu personally visited Xiaonanhe."

Tang Yi frowned slightly and said, "What about the relocation work?"

"We've stopped for now, Mayor. I think Secretary Niu seems to be... how should I put it? He's just not very friendly."

Tang Yi hummed and asked again, "What did Zhao Enhong say?"

Huang Lin said: "I just came back from Mayor Zhao. He said it was a complete slander. I don't think he was lying. There must be someone causing trouble."

Tang Yi also felt that although Zhao Enhong was a bit aggressive in his work, he was not so confused.

"Those owners really have big-character posters in their hands, but I think it's nothing and can't be used as evidence. Mayor Enhong is in a very low mood recently, as if he knows something. Tang Yien said with a sigh, "I will go back to Huanghai in the afternoon.

Please give me a message to Mayor Enhong: Don’t do wrong things, don’t be afraid of little devils, and tell him to work with peace of mind.”

Huang Linen sighed and hung up the phone.

Originally, Tang Yi was planning to stay in Paris for a day, but such a big incident happened in Huanghai, and he had to go back to deal with it. Deng Wenzhi and the delegation were left behind to continue their propaganda work in Paris. He, Jia Yuejun and other cadres bought the

I took my flight in the afternoon, transferred in Beijing, and returned to the Yellow Sea in the evening when the lanterns started to light up.

After calling Huang Lin to learn about the latest situation, Tang Yi returned to Yingbin Pavilion. Secretary Niu and his party also lived in Yingbin Pavilion. Coincidentally, Secretary Niu lived in Building 4, the villa next door to Tang Yi.

When Tang Yi rang the doorbell of Building 4, Secretary Niu, Zeng Qingming and several key members of the investigation team were holding a temporary meeting. A cadre opened the door and was startled when he saw Tang Yi. Obviously he recognized Tang Yi.

He quickly turned around and said, "Secretary Niu is Mayor Tang of Huanghai."

Secretary Niu stood up from the sofa and said with a smile: "Come in quickly, come in quickly." He went up to greet Tang Yi who had entered the living room and shook hands with him. Secretary Niu had a round face and his eyes almost narrowed into slits when he smiled.

Very easy-going.

Tang Yi attended a meeting at the Provincial Party Committee and met Secretary Niu several times. He smiled and said hello.

On the sofa in the living room, the cadres also stood up. Tang Yi turned around and saw Zeng Qingming, nodding slightly. Their eyes met, and suddenly there was a tacit feeling. Tang Yi knew that Zeng Qingming would definitely participate in the investigation, so he

I never called him from the beginning to the end, so as not to give him any clues.

I'm a little busy on Monday. I just finished writing 5,000 words. I'll make up for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. For the next few days, I'll update after ten o'clock in the evening...
