Chapter 1,454 How to know that it is not a blessing
Graduated from Beijing Forestry College, he came to work in the Temple of Heaven at the age of 21. He raised roses and planted fruit trees in the greening class. He also served as a "tour guide" for dozens of domestic and foreign dignitaries as the deputy director, and he single-handedly contributed to the success of the project. Pierre Cardin’s stay at the “Zhai Palace” in the Temple of Heaven.
It can be said that the current deputy director Chen Ping has always been a very competent "senior salesman" of the Temple of Heaven Park.
Internally, he not only contributed his knowledge to the Temple of Heaven in garden management.
Externally, he has been doing his best to expand the reputation and influence of the Temple of Heaven.
In fact, he may be regarded as the first person in the leadership team of the Temple of Heaven Park to seek changes and seek external financial help.
From the earliest days when he reached a cooperation with Pierre Cardon on leasing Zhai Palace for the exhibition hall, he has been moving closer and closer to this foreign alliance.
Behind the scenes, he not only helped Ning Weimin persuade the old director to invest in Tan Palace Restaurant.
He has also been actively cooperating with Ning Weimin in organizing cultural activities, renovating park infrastructure, and jointly forming a business group to develop a variety of exclusive tourism projects and products, among other initiatives.
It has to be said that Shu Ping played a big role in making the Temple of Heaven Park so well received by the public, favored by international guests from all over the world, and with annual ticket revenue of up to 10 million yuan alone.
Therefore, he is not only the old director's most trusted deputy and most promising successor, but also the successor to the director that Ning Weimin most hopes to see.
You know, apart from the fact that they are like-minded in developing the cultural connotation and commercial potential of the Temple of Heaven Park.
What's more important is that Shu Ping is only thirty-eight years old this year, not yet forty, and he is still in the prime of life.
In other words, as long as Shuping successfully takes over the reins of the old director and becomes the next leader of the Temple of Heaven Park, they will be the most tacit partners and continue to complement each other in their careers.
With the premise of stable cooperation between both parties, Ning Weimin is confident that both the Temple of Heaven Park and Tan Palace Restaurant will develop better in the future.
Let them become the most valuable tourism resources in Beijing and one of the city’s beautiful business cards to the outside world.
And his own interests based on these two places will of course be longer-term and more secure.
Apart from anything else, the current Temple of Heaven's income from independent operations, excluding the investment from Tan Gong Restaurant, exceeds that of Beihai.
In another five or six years, it will not be difficult for the operating income to exceed that of the Forbidden City.
For Ning Weimin, once the cake gets bigger, it will of course mean that he will get more benefits.
For example, you can use the Temple of Heaven to get more meat from the sales of tourist handicrafts.
Even in the catering business, Gingerbread Man, a fast food chain brand, is used to carry out wider cooperation.
Those are all real, real money flowing down the stream.
Therefore, Ning Weimin must be polite to Shu Ping's unsolicited visit, just like a popular anchor treats the person in charge of the traffic platform, how dare he not take him seriously.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Luo Guangliang introducing Shu Ping into the yard, Ning Weimin took the initiative to come out of the house to greet him.
This attitude towards guests was much more hospitable and courteous than when he was sitting in the room waiting for officials from the Film Bureau and Cultural Heritage Bureau to come in and meet.
"Oh, Director Chen, I didn't expect you to come see me. I'm so lazy, I should go and give you New Year's greetings."
"You are out of sight when you say this. I know you are busy, but I am relatively free, so why can't I come to see you? Besides, just because you gave the Temple of Heaven a dividend of 6 million yuan this time, I should
On behalf of the Temple of Heaven, I come to express my condolences to you. You have worked hard and achieved great results. How can I still have the nerve to show off to you, the God of Wealth, and pretend to be a big-tailed hawk in front of you?"
The joke was just right, both parties laughed "hehe" and walked into the room together in a tacit understanding.
Ning Weimin did not bother Luo Guangliang this time and personally picked up the thermos to make tea for Shuping.
He also lit a cigarette for Shu Ping, then sat down and chatted about daily life, asking Shu Ping how his year was.
However, Shuping's trip was not just for his family's sake.
After a brief exchange of greetings, he took the initiative to explain his intention.
"Wei Min, although the party years ago was relatively rushed, you haven't forgotten it yet. The old principal told you that he can't delay his retirement, and he will officially retire in May this year.
"
"When I heard about it, I felt very reluctant to part with it. The old director helped me a lot. Without his support, Tan Gong Restaurant would not be what it is today."
"Hey, yes, the old director has always been the star of the Temple of Heaven Park. With his departure, not only will everyone lose their backbone, but many things may change..."
"That's not the case. Although the prestige of the old director is not comparable to that of ordinary people, but after he leaves, won't you still be there in the Temple of Heaven? Everyone knows that the old director prefers you to take over his class. Moreover, the old director
Haven't we already reported to the Tourism Bureau and recommended that you take over? Then your transition from deputy to full-time position is a sure thing. Can't we just continue to deepen our cooperation?"
Unexpectedly, Shu Ping shook his head after hearing this and said bluntly, "It would be great if I could really take over, but now the situation has changed..."
"How could it be? Did the tourism bureau even refute the old director's face?"
Ning Weimin was extremely surprised and said in confusion, "The old director told me more than once that he can only rest assured if he hands over the burden to you. Others should also know, isn't this already the whole situation?"
Is this the consensus of everyone at the Temple of Heaven Park? Even if the Tourism Bureau disagrees, the old director will come to find him based on his temper. Who dares to make him unhappy? How can this matter change?"
"To tell you the truth, it was really the tourism bureau that rejected the old director's proposal."
Shu Ping smiled bitterly. "Yes, the old director originally agreed with the bureau that I would be the successor. Logically speaking, no one in the bureau dares to disrespect the old director's wishes. But the question is whether the old director himself has
You cannot refuse. You don’t know something. Back then, on the battlefield, the platoon leader of the old garden director saved his life. Although that man is now
He has retired a long time ago and has returned home to enjoy his old age, but his sons are still working hard to pursue their futures. One of them is in the tourism system, and he fell in love with this position at some point. Not only did he secretly manage everything,
And the day before yesterday, we even held a banquet at home to invite him and me to ask the old gardener to fulfill his wishes..."
It was true that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Only after Shu Ping's detailed account did Ning Weimin know what happened.
It's better to go too far than it should be. The bad thing about this is that the current development of Temple of Heaven Park is so good.
In recent years, the rapid development of the Temple of Heaven Park has been witnessed by almost everyone.
Not only is ticket revenue getting higher and higher, but ticket prices have been raised several times, it has still maintained a rapid growth in tourists and a good reputation.
The cultural activities held throughout the year are even more famous, and have even caused the entire major parks in the capital to imitate.
Moreover, the increase in sales of tourism products and the further increase in income have not only increased the income of Temple of Heaven employees, but also provided the ability to upgrade park facilities and protect cultural relics.
Now not only the various facilities of the Temple of Heaven have been renovated, they can fully meet the needs of tourists.
Even the muck piled up on the west side of the Danbi Bridge in the Temple of Heaven by digging air-raid shelters in the capital in the past has now been cleared away in batches.
In particular, the repair work on the Temple of Heaven's altar walls, the Northern Divine Kitchen, the Southern Divine Kitchen, the Imperial Vault, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests has been completed year by year.
And all of this, all the funds were not applied to superiors, the Temple of Heaven Park did it only by its own strength.
What does this mean?
It shows that the Temple of Heaven has improved social benefits and environmental benefits, promoted the economic benefits of tourism, and tourism revenue has fed back the protection of cultural relics. The three benefits are a virtuous rolling cycle, and it has been on the path of "nurturing cultural relics with cultural relics" in a virtuous cycle.
It is completely foreseeable that the Temple of Heaven will gradually take back the occupied land, repair the old buildings, and restore the display, which will get closer and closer to the goal of realizing the "complete Temple of Heaven".
What an incredible work achievement!
Not to mention the capital city, even if you look at the tourist attractions across the country, they are also unique.
And more importantly, the popularity of the Temple of Heaven has continued to rise as this situation has changed, and its reputation has even spread abroad with the help of foreign media, making the Temple of Heaven now a must-visit tourist attraction for almost all domestic and foreign public figures in the capital.
Foreigners coming to China will not only say, "If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man, and it would be a pity if you don't eat roast duck." They will also feel very regretful if they don't visit the Temple of Heaven and try the imperial cuisine at Tan Palace Restaurant.
In 1985, 1986, and 1987, for three consecutive years, great men came to the Temple of Heaven to plant trees.
While promoting the greening progress of the Temple of Heaven, it also praised the significantly improved infrastructure changes in the Temple of Heaven Park.
In 1985, the American band Whammy visited China and came to the Temple of Heaven and expressed great interest in the echo wall.
Later, Keiko Matsumoto, Tomokazu Miura, Ken Utsui, Teresa Teng, John Lone, Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, and the American movie star Gregory Peck came to China one after another, visited the Temple of Heaven, and dined at the Tan Palace Restaurant.
This gave many of their fans a good impression of these two locations.
In October 1986, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the Temple of Heaven. Not only did they become fans, they even reluctantly left several major buildings. They publicly stated to many foreign media that the Temple of Heaven was a magical place, and they also Didn't see enough...
Think about it, a district-owned park with only a large pine and cypress forest and a few sacrificial halls has actually become a place where important guests from home and abroad compete to visit.
The limelight has even caught up with the Beihai and Forbidden City, the major royal palace complexes, eclipsing the Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace, and gained considerable international popularity. This is something unimaginable.
As glorious as you want, as glorious as you want, as distinguished as you want.
But precisely because of this, the Temple of Heaven, which stands out from many district parks in the capital, will inevitably become the standout, and will inevitably attract covetous attention from all parties.
In fact, the "mother-in-laws" at the Temple of Heaven Park are always concerned about the money bags of the Temple of Heaven Park.
If the old director hadn't been a veteran, tough-tempered person, he wouldn't have agreed to picking peaches.
Even those who are older than him dare to slap the table in front of him and scold his mother.
Moreover, under Ning Weimin's suggestion, from the time Tan Palace Restaurant opened a branch in Japan, the Temple of Heaven also made some appropriate compromises.
Every year, we began to proactively provide hundreds of thousands of funds back to several higher-level units, maintaining a delicate balance.
In fact, someone should have taken action on the position of the top leader of the Temple of Heaven Park a long time ago.
But as the saying goes, what is supposed to come will always come.
The old principal kept the door tightly guarded, thinking that since it was impermeable to bullets and water, he would be able to hand over the seat to someone he trusted smoothly.
But there are people who have such great ability. At the most critical moment, they can find an opportunity to destroy this iron bucket-like situation, thereby changing the direction of the entire thing.
No, the savior came to beg the old director in a low voice for the sake of his son's future, and he didn't need to do anything. He just asked him not to object and just let nature take its course.
How should the old principal, who always repays kindness and revenge, choose?
How could the old principal, who always values friendship and friendship, object to this?
For a moment, Ning Weimin was silent.
He finally understands it now.
No wonder he called the old director yesterday to wish him a happy new year. The old director was not interested and didn't even say a few polite words.
He proposed to visit him at home, but the old director refused because he was feeling unwell.
The root of love lies in this.
Du Yuesheng was right.
In life, there are three bowls of noodles that are the most unpalatable: dignity, love and scene.
Even the old director had no choice but to retreat when faced with such a situation.
Perhaps the old director himself never thought that he himself was the biggest flaw in this matter, right?
Ning Weimin sympathized with the old principal's feelings and choices. He could fully imagine how the old principal felt at that time and how difficult it was to make the choice.
However, he knew better that the person he was facing was Shu Ping, and he was undoubtedly the most unlucky person in this matter.
There is a problem with the promised promotion, and the promised things cannot be fulfilled. Who can bear the replacement?
I want to know how he feels.
To be honest, Ning Weimin was very sympathetic and wanted to persuade him.
But this sudden incident made him a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't think of the right words for a while.
And more importantly, he now couldn't figure out the purpose of Shu Ping's visit.
What on earth was he thinking?
Why are you looking for yourself now?
Especially if he is dissatisfied with the old principal, is he...
"Why this expression? Weimin, do you sympathize with me?"
It was obvious that Shu Ping understood Ning Weimin's expression, and he also acted very free and easy.
Not only did he not express much loneliness, but he was somewhat relieved by Ning Weimin's reaction and showed a smile.
"You don't have to worry about me. To be honest, I have been in the Temple of Heaven for nearly twenty years. I have been working hard with the old director to develop the Temple of Heaven Park, make it complete, and restore the glory of the old royal garden as soon as possible.
It has been my dream for a long time, and in the past two years we have finally started to achieve results, and we are just on the verge of getting there. I really can’t bear to give up at this time..."
There was another turning point at the critical moment, and the tone of Statement Ping became more and more calm.
"However, I have to say that the old principal treated me well. I am here today only because of his promotion. And he didn't hide anything from me. After this incident, the old principal immediately
He told me everything, apologized to me in person, and said he was sorry to me. You know
As an old man, when has he ever bent over to others? But he actually bowed to me and apologized for this matter. I can't bear it. Whether it's emotionally or in terms of kindness, I can really understand him.
, I should also be considerate of him. So I have no complaints..."
Ning Weimin was also quite pleased with Shu Ping's reaction.
If you don’t know things, you don’t know people.
He didn't resent the old director because he failed in promotion, and he didn't forget the old director's daily care, which proved that this person was trustworthy and at least not short-sighted.
If he really has any request, I will be willing to help him if I can.
On the other hand, if he wants to pull himself, he will try to resist the appointment of the new director.
If you expect that you can be his spearman, you may seem narrow-minded, and you won't be fooled.
"It's very generous to think so. I admire you. So... do you know who the new candidate is? Will it affect our cooperation?"
"This is definitely not the case. The old director is just afraid that you will think too much, so he sent me to talk to you. The old director is a little embarrassed to communicate this matter to you personally. You should understand. However, he promised to give up his seat
The prerequisite for handing it over to the other party is that the other party agrees to follow Xiao Gui and Cao after his successor, and cannot change our cooperation and layout at will, so as not to destroy me.
We are currently in a good situation. Although I don't know the nature and background of the other party, I think that with his father personally vouching for it and the old principal supervising him at all times, there is no way he can do anything out of the circle unless he is not afraid.
The old director came to visit. Even though the old man was no longer thinking about retiring, he still responded to every call when he wanted to return to the Temple of Heaven, and he really dared to whip him with a belt..."
After hearing what Shen Ping said, Ning Weimin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
He knew the temper of the old principal very well, and it was indeed as stated by Shu Ping.
So I was determined.
As long as it doesn't affect the cooperation between the two parties, it doesn't matter to him who becomes the new director.
But that was nothing, Shu Ping later told him another piece of good news.
"Besides that, there is one more thing I have to tell you in advance. Although for me, I have no chance of being the top leader in the Temple of Heaven, I was still promoted. It may be that the old director and the future new director used their efforts behind the scenes.
, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for me. Also in May next year, I will be transferred to Longtan Lake Park to work as a teacher.
Director. We have agreed in advance that because of our friendship, you cannot turn your back on me when the time comes. After I sort out the internal situation over there, I want to continue to cooperate with you in business. Why?
How about that? Manager Ning, you have to give me this face, right? You can’t see me going to a miserable place and eating chaffy vegetables again, right?”
Ning Weimin was immediately overjoyed, "Of course, of course, Dean Chen, you are too polite. It's not me giving you face, it's you trusting me and giving me face."
It is indeed a real surprise, and it is a blessing in disguise.
At least for him, that's it.
There is no doubt that there is a statement to rely on.
In the future, Ning Weimin will be able to occupy an additional base and get an extra share of the capital's rapidly developing tourism industry.
