Governor Wang and the Japanese delegation arrived at the signing ceremony after ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, the Japanese song "Star", sung in Chinese, was playing.
Watanabe obviously quickly noticed the familiar melody floating in his ears, and his face immediately showed an intoxicated and smiling look.
Workers in overalls on the track and field began to applaud enthusiastically, and primary school students held flowers in their hands and jumped and shouted in beautiful children's voices: "Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!"
A group of students in beautiful school uniforms went to pay tribute to Japanese representatives and provincial leaders to lay flowers.
At this time, Tanaka looked towards me, and then he quickly came to me, "Mayor Feng, you chose this song, right? I know you came back here last night to prepare for today's signing ceremony.
.thank you!"
I was thinking: It seems that Su Wen's proposal is really good. But I just don't know what kind of reaction they would have if "Spring in the Northland" was played today? I smiled and said: "Mr. Tanaka,
You like this song, in fact, I also like it. This also shows that our two countries are culturally connected. Many of us Chinese are very fond of your Japanese movies, songs and novels. When Teresa Teng went to Japan to perform
During the meeting, there was a Teresa Teng craze in Japan, which further proves that the cultures and friendships between our two countries are mutually inclusive and integrated. I hope our future cooperation will be like this, and that both of us can understand and promote each other.
Let’s work together to build and develop our future enterprise well.”
He stretched out his hand towards me and said, "Mayor Feng, we will definitely cooperate well. Don't you believe it?"
I smiled slightly at him: "Of course I believe it. But what we both do in the future is the most important, don't you think?"
He nodded.
At this time, I saw that the guest of honor had already gone to the rostrum, and I immediately said to him: "Mr. Tanaka, please go to the rostrum and sit down first. We will have many opportunities to discuss these things in the future, right?"
He immediately bowed to me, "Yes, Mayor Feng!"
Then I took him to the podium and asked him to sit down in his seat.
Then I saw Qiu Huiyuan standing on the side under the rostrum, with a nervous look on his face. I immediately went to him and asked him: "Is there anything that has not been arranged? Why are you so nervous?"
He shook his head and said: "Everything is ready. But this is the first time I am responsible for preparations for such a large-scale event, so I am inevitably a little nervous. Haha!"
I patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay."
By this time, the music had been turned off, and Secretary Chen was presiding over today's signing ceremony. He first introduced the main guests of both parties today, and then Governor Wang gave a speech.
I suddenly discovered a major mistake in our work, so I hurriedly asked: "Secretary Qiu, have you prepared any stand-up topics? Next is the Japanese chairman Watanabe's speech. He needs an interpreter, and the interpreter's microphone
Are you ready?"
He was suddenly speechless, "Ah? How could I forget this?"
I immediately became anxious, "Where are the ordinary microphones? Is there one?"
He said: "Yes."
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Then go up quickly and hand the microphone to Watanabe's translator. He will translate simultaneously in the background. Go quickly!"
He left in a hurry, and I couldn't help but feel a kind of worry in my heart: Yesterday, everything happened, but why did I forget this matter? Will such a problem happen next?
Fortunately, Governor Wang's speech took a long time. Generally speaking, official speeches are relatively long. Governor Wang talked a lot about the overall economic development of our province at the beginning, and then started to talk about state-owned enterprises.
The importance of reform and the process and prospects of this cooperation with Japan.
His speech lasted nearly an hour, followed by a speech by the Japanese chairman.
The translator stood not far behind him, on the left side, holding a microphone in his hand. Watanabe, who was standing in front of the vertical microphone, said a few words, and then the translator behind him began to translate his words into Chinese. Watanabe stood in front of the standing microphone and said a few words.
Bian used a lot of honorifics and polite terms in his opening remarks, but I found it a bit strange to suddenly hear Japanese voices coming from the loudspeaker in a place like this.
There are too many films about the Anti-Japanese War in our country, and there are also TV series. The Japanese language directly caused an auditory impact on me, and I immediately felt like I transcended time and space. But this feeling is very satisfying.
People are unhappy because that time and space left us Chinese with too much humiliation.
And at this moment, when I suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling in my heart, something happened——
Suddenly, someone from one of the square teams wearing green uniforms on the track and field shouted: "Japanese devils, go back to your hometown! Go back!"
Immediately there was a commotion in the square team, and a person was immediately seen rushing out of the square team and running towards the rostrum.
There were a lot of police officers in the track and field, but at this time they didn't respond. They were probably shocked by this sudden situation. I suddenly became furious and hurriedly ran to the two police officers and said, "Are you here?"
What are you doing?! Go and get this person away! Go!"
The two policemen reacted and ran towards the man quickly. Soon, the man was caught by the police and was forcibly taken out of the track and field. The man kept struggling and mouthing.
Li was still shouting: "Japanese devils, go back! Go back!"
I was very angry in my heart: Why is this policeman so inexperienced? Don’t he know how to gag this man?
At this time, Watanabe on the podium had already stopped speaking. He was standing there with an extremely ugly face. Governor Wang and Governor Huang's faces were also very ugly, and Secretary Chen's face was already pale.
I never expected that something like this would happen. Although this incident was just a small incident, it was of a very serious nature. Maybe it would be elevated to a diplomatic incident by the Japanese side, and it might also be escalated by our own people.
It rises to the level of political events.
At this moment, I saw Kazuo Tanaka stand up from his seat, and then quickly walked to Watanabe, who was whispering something to him.
Watanabe nodded. Then, I was surprised to see that he was continuing his speech, and the expressions of the leaders on the stage changed back to their original state.
The translator continued to translate Watanabe's speech, and I found that the content of his speech was still so polite, and he still had good hopes for the future of the company.
Everything went normal after that. Next came the signing. The Japanese signing representative was Tanaka Kazuo, and ours was Mayor Liu. Watanabe and Governor Wang stood behind the two signatories.
After the signing was completed, everyone in the audience began to applaud enthusiastically, and then drank champagne to celebrate.
"I'm sorry, Mayor Feng..." I was looking at the stage, but I was still worried inside, when I suddenly heard someone say this in my ear. It was Director Lu, who was panicking.
look at me.
I looked at him, "What's the use of talking about this now? The responsibility for this matter is not yours, but the reaction of your subordinates is too slow. Your own reaction is also slow. If something like this happens, you should immediately
The only thing is to order that person to be taken out, and not to allow him to continue to speak out. Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. You and I will both be criticized after this matter comes down. And... By the way, Director Lu, you should find out quickly.
What is this person's background? Remember, never use torture on others, otherwise you will get into big trouble."
He said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I understand."
I was still looking at him, "You don't understand. Let me tell you, today's media and the Internet are so developed. Although we still don't know why this person did what he did today, his anti-Japanese behavior is likely to attract many people."
sympathy. If you use torture against this person, public opinion will not be able to spare you in the future. No leader will be able to protect you by then. Do you understand?
But you must immediately figure out this person's situation and background. Why do you do this? All the leaders of the province are here. After the signing ceremony, there will be a visit, then lunch, and in the afternoon the leaders will return to the province.
Go, you must figure out the situation before they leave, and then report to Secretary Chen as soon as possible. Otherwise, Secretary Chen will not be able to spare you."
Only then did he fully understand what I meant, and he immediately said to me gratefully: "Thank you, Mayor Feng. I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he hurried away. I looked at his back as he ran away, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. I knew that as the person in charge of the signing ceremony, I would definitely be criticized by the leader.
This is not something that can be predicted, but someone must be responsible for it. In the final analysis, things like this are just bad luck, and it is my fault. (To be continued)
