On the morning of Sunday, March 11, 1984, a meeting planned by Ning Weimin and organized by Director Wei was held in the auditorium of No. 165 Middle School.
This middle school is located in the area between Jingshan Subdistrict Office and Weijia Hutong. It was originally a church school founded by the American Presbyterian Church before liberation - Chongci Girls' Middle School.
Therefore, it has an area of tens of thousands of square meters, a garden-like campus environment, and top-notch school conditions.
This is the place where Ning Weimin is best at doing things.
First, he knew in his heart that the bigger the scene was and the more troops and people were mobilized, the more the residents would be able to believe in him.
Therefore, in order to win the trust of the people, he intends to use the government's credibility to increase his own weight.
Only then did we decide to rent such a formal meeting place to show our solemnity.
This is called spending money to buy face.
It can not only improve one's own reputation among government civil servants, but also show one's strength to the residents.
Secondly, he also knows the principle of treating others politely and not bullying others, and taking advantage of power and not bullying others.
Only by knowing how to do it can we win the favor of the residents and eliminate the hatred and hostility caused by them.
No, when the residents of Tianma Garden were invited to the middle school auditorium on time for the meeting.
The first thing I faced was the staff from the subdistrict office who had been waiting at the entrance of the school auditorium.
As well as several male and female waiters transferred from the "Tan Palace" by Ning Weimin.
Street people are responsible for registering residents one by one.
The girls and boys from the "Tan Palace" followed Ning Weimin's wishes and distributed a gift to everyone who came to the meeting.
The gifts have already been divided and packed in exquisite paper bags with the "Altar Palace" logo printed on them.
Not to mention anything else, this thick bag alone is very popular among residents.
After all, this is an era before even plastic bags are commonplace, so it is very respectable to carry a bag with a famous company printed on it.
After entering the auditorium, many people couldn't bear their curiosity and wanted to open it before sitting down.
The content naturally surprised the residents even more, because there was actually everything to eat and wear.
Inside the paper bag was a small gift box of palace pastries that sold for two yuan.
There is also a set of autumn clothes and long trousers wrapped in kraft paper and tied with red string.
The pastry gift box contains eight kinds of Manchu pastries with winter characteristics.
They are golden cake, pea yellow, kidney bean roll, donkey rolling, aiwowo, fried butterfly, brown sugar oil cake, Korean pastry (beating cake).
It is worth mentioning that the following three kinds of cakes are almost always seen by people for the first time, and they can’t help but marvel.
This is naturally thanks to the guidance of "Zhang Dashao". These were the unique cakes for worshiping the gods of the Qing Dynasty.
Except for the Tan Palace in Manjing City, you really can’t buy it anywhere else.
As for the autumn clothes and trousers, the quality is also very good.
They are all one size fits all and made of pure cotton.
Not only are there upper and lower sets, but they are also divided into men and women.
The women's version is purple and the men's version is dark blue.
Those are all overstocked goods from the city's No. 3 Garment Factory, and they can be considered brand-name products that have been produced for decades.
Obviously more practical than food.
It's a pity that the style is outdated and not easy to sell.
More than 3,000 sets of autumn clothes and trousers have been stacked in the warehouse for more than a year, and the relevant departments of the business system are unwilling to wholesale them from the factory.
There was no choice. The third clothing factory could only send it to Ning Weimin at a low price of one yuan a set.
But even so, the ones sold in state-owned stores are not discounted and not cheap at all. They are only sold with cool items.
Ning Weimin's takeout is only 2.5 yuan a set, which is only 1 yuan cheaper than the store.
This is enough to induce people to fight for it.
So for this gift, Ning Weimin actually didn't spend much money, and the cost was only two yuan.
But in the eyes of the residents of Majia Garden, it is different.
That's a grand gift worth five dollars.
That’s 50 cents more than the 5 yuan non-staple food subsidy in the monthly salary.
What's more, some factories still only give out monthly bonuses of four or five yuan in the name of wage subsidies.
On days like May Day, National Day, and the Spring Festival, the welfare level is only three to five yuan at most.
So how can ordinary people not be overjoyed to receive such a generous gift for nothing?
In fact, there were a total of 227 people registered in each household of Majia Garden that day.
Excluding children and those who didn't come, there were only 112 people who actually came to sign in.
Many families regretted receiving this gift because they sent one person to attend the meeting.
I feel that I am really at a loss because I have less people in my family.
I was very hesitant, whether I should run back and call someone again, and whether I had enough time.
For other families where almost all family members come together, it feels more appropriate.
Their biggest feeling was that because they were short-handed, their favorable impression of Ning Weimin increased sharply.
Although they still haven't met each other yet, their thoughts have begun to change, and they feel that Ning Weimin's promise may be true.
Then the private conversation turned into a discussion about whether to leave, and wondering whether monetary compensation was more cost-effective or waiting to change houses.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, the meeting time comes.
Ning Weimin walked into the school auditorium of No. 165 Middle School, accompanied by Meng Yi, the subdistrict director, director of the housing management bureau, and "housing settlement officer", as well as two policemen from the Jingshan Subdistrict Police Station.
Just because he was wearing a fur coat and walking like an SS man who didn't recognize his relatives.
There is also an aura of walking in front with one's head held high, like a leader inspecting, and being surrounded by everyone when he walks in.
How much visual stimulation it will bring to the residents!
In particular, the two policemen were still following Ning Weimin, like personal bodyguards.
The 83-type police uniform that had just been changed into green was a bit more strange and solemn and majestic like a soldier than the original white and blue.
This further highlights Ning Weimin's noble status and extraordinary origins, giving people a feeling that he cannot be despised or offended.
In short, power, wealth, status, everything that makes people jealous, enviable, and fearful.
All of this was reflected the moment Ning Weimin came in.
So the moment he showed up, the originally chaotic and noisy courtyard instantly became quiet.
No matter men, women, old or young, adults or children, all looked at him wearing a fur coat, and all looked solemn and complicated.
Staring at him curiously and seriously.
Ning Weimin was polite to Director Wei and the director of the housing management office, and finally sat in the middle of the podium.
The microphone was already connected, and he became rude next time.
After saying hello to the residents in the audience, he briefly introduced himself, and then announced two things straight to the point.
The first thing is how he proves his credibility.
"Everyone, it's hard to make it to Sunday. Your time is precious. I won't talk nonsense to you, so I'll get down to business."
"As far as I know, everyone seems to not believe the conditions I promised. I understand this, so not only did I come today, but I also invited the leaders of the housing management department, our street leaders, and comrades from the police station.
Already."
"The purpose is to answer policy-related questions with everyone in person, and at the same time, we will discuss and coordinate a solution with each other based on the specific situation. In addition, we will ask them to bear witness."
"Okay, then I can tell you now that the housing management department can currently provide ten houses of varying sizes. My opinion and that of our street are that priority should be given to replacing the houses with the most difficult living space. I think this
You should understand, right?"
"As for the monetary compensation, I also brought part of it. I think I will give this money to our street for safekeeping. If any of you complete the relocation agreement, the street will distribute it to everyone on your behalf. You should be trustworthy, right?"
"
With that said, Ning Weimin took out a small suitcase he had brought with him from under the table.
After opening it, I turned around and saw a box full of unity inside.
Even though the total number is only 30,000, since the largest denomination of currency these days is only ten yuan, putting together thirty stacks of banknotes is still extremely spectacular, completely refreshing the poor people's understanding and shocking their spirits.
This immediately caused a commotion in the audience. Have people at this time ever seen so much money put together?
Many people couldn't help but stand up from their seats to watch, and they couldn't restrain their exclamations and sighs.
