A chain supermarket unique to Jincheng and its surroundings has just opened its doors, and it is not yet completely bright. A van is parked at the door, and supermarket employees are busy moving goods from the containers to the supermarket.
The floor in the supermarket is piled with all kinds of cardboard boxes, making it difficult to find a place to stay.
The newspaper that had just been delivered was placed casually on a mineral water box at the door.
A young man appeared at the entrance of the supermarket on a bicycle, peered inside, and then his eyes rested on the pile of newspapers.
He shouted to the busy staff: "I buy a newspaper!"
"Two yuan and a half a piece, get it yourself!" The staff was too busy to spare, so they could only let the customers help themselves.
"How many copies are there in total? I want them all!" the young man said boldly.
He finally succeeded in attracting the attention of all the staff present, and they all looked over in surprise.
"You want them all?"
"Yes, I want them all."
Seeing the other party's expression of embarrassment, the young man asked again: "Isn't there a limit per person?"
"There is no such rule..." the staff member said hesitantly.
"Then I'll buy them all!" The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward to lift the pile of newspapers, as if he was afraid that someone would come out and snatch them from him.
Although it is a bit strange that everyone bought this pile of newspapers before they were even unpacked, there is indeed no rule saying that each person only needs to buy a few newspapers, so as long as customers are willing to pay for them, there is no need for them in the supermarket.
Reason not to sell.
Moreover, it is difficult to sell newspapers and other items nowadays. They often sit next to the supermarket checkout counter for a whole day without anyone picking them up, let alone buying them home.
But they still have to read these newspapers every day because this is their "mission."
Now that someone is helping them "solve problems", the supermarket is naturally happy.
While the young man scanned the QR code to pay, the supermarket staff asked curiously: "Why did you buy so many newspapers?"
"Giving it away."
"Giving it away?"
"Well, give it away!"
After paying the bill, the young man picked up the newspaper, turned around and put it on the back rack of the bicycle outside. Then he got on the bicycle, rang the bell, and rode away with a jingling sound.

The entrance and exit of the subway station is one of the places with the largest flow of people, but because it was Sunday, there were not many people there early in the morning.
The young man stood at the subway entrance with a bundle of newspapers at his feet.
Facing everyone entering and exiting the subway, he would ask:
"Would you like a World Cup qualifying number? It's free!"
I heard that it was given free of charge, and when someone reached out to ask for it, the young man happily took out a copy from the newspaper at his feet and handed it to the person.
Then continue to shout.
Hearing his shouts, some passers-by who were not coming to take the subway came to him specifically to ask for newspapers.
They opened the newspaper and read the headline:
"'The World Cup is coming again'... Hey, last time I remember it was 'The World Cup is coming again'? This time there are more. This title is really lazy!"
"Hey, but isn't this great? Three years ago we were 'here', and this year we are 'here again'. Only one word was added, and all the meaning was expressed." said his companion.
"That's what you said...here we go again, here we go again..." the first person murmured, "I can't believe that we also said the words 'We are here again at the World Cup'..."
…How difficult it was to qualify for a World Cup before, but now I have qualified for two consecutive World Cups, and it feels so easy this time…Hey, why do I feel that the festive atmosphere of entering the World Cup this time is not as strong as the last time?”
"If we can make it every time, what else is there to celebrate? Now, I guess we have to wait until we enter the knockout rounds of the World Cup before we celebrate in a big way, right?"
"What you said...makes sense. Do you think we can reach the knockout round this time?"
"Who knows? I think it may not be possible until we host the World Cup in 2034..."
"If we can really qualify from the group stage, what a grand occasion it will be..."
"Yeah yeah……"
"I really want to see..."
"Haha! I want to see it too!"
The two of them were holding newspapers in their hands, chatting and walking, and gradually walked away.
Outside the subway station in the downtown area, young people wearing red Chinese team jerseys continued to shout:
"We have entered the World Cup again! We have entered the World Cup again! Do you want a special edition of the World Cup? It is given for free! No money, no money, just to share the joy with everyone!"

"Sister Xie, your original suggestion was discussed repeatedly in two places after we returned. Finally, we discussed a brand new plan. What do you think?"
Representatives from Dongchuan and Jincheng sat in front of Xie Lan and Diao Xiaoyun, carefully and conscientiously explaining the new plan that they had worked on for a month.
"The plan to build a museum on the border of Dongchuan near Jincheng... is difficult. Because there is no suitable place, and management is also difficult. But, do you think this can be done... that is, we build a Hu Lai in Dongchuan
A museum will show his journey from high school to professional football. Then a football park in Hulai will be built in Jincheng, open to citizens who love football to play football and exercise. Of course, this football park is definitely not only
It’s an ordinary football park, but Hulay’s football park, which has many elements of Hulay…”
In fact, after Xie Lan proposed her idea, she was complained by Hu Lixin, who criticized her idea as unreasonable and completely nonsense. After thinking about it herself, she also felt that it was not very reliable.
Let’s not talk about whether there is a suitable area to build in the area where Dongchuan and Jincheng are next to each other. The junction of the two cities is in the wilderness. If we build a museum and football park in such a place, the transportation is inconvenient. Who would usually go there?
Fortunately for the museum, it makes sense to build a football park in a place with a lot of people, so that nearby people can come and play football. If it is built in a place where it takes an hour to drive and cannot be reached by buses and subways, who will go there?
ah……
So her idea of taking care of two cities was destined to be something that no one could take care of in the end.
Now that the two sides have come to terms with the outcome, Xie Lan thinks it's pretty good and acceptable.
But just when she was about to nod, her hand was gently held by Diao Xiaoyun beside her.
Then I heard Diao Xiaoyun say: "Director Wang, Director Yang, we would like to ask, should we build just one football park?"
Director Wang, the representative of Jincheng, first looked at each other and Director Yang, the representative of Dongchuan, then looked at Diao Xiaoyun and said carefully: "This is what we are considering for the time being..."
In fact, they do only plan to build one, but they can't say it to death. They must always leave some room for maneuver so that they can maneuver later.
"Those two directors, do you think this is okay? Can Hulai Football Park be built into a chain brand? It is not just about building one and ending with it, but taking Jincheng as the center, radiating to surrounding areas, and building more football parks.
Parks are constructed and managed according to unified standards, which not only facilitates citizens to exercise, but also accommodates the arrangements for football sports in surrounding campuses. We all know that many primary schools in urban areas do not even have football fields because of their small space.
of……"
Director Wang and Director Yang looked at each other again.
Diao Xiaoyun is right.
Many schools do not have football fields, not only because the space is not big, but also because football fields take up too much space. With the same area, several more basketball courts can be built, which can satisfy students from several classes at the same time.
.As for the football field... there are at most two fields separated from the center line.
So some schools will build basketball courts in the middle of the track instead of football fields.
When the school wants to carry out football activities, it must either borrow a basketball court or rent a social venue outside. In doing so, it also faces the embarrassment of having to find another place when the lease of the venue expires, or even the venue is demolished...
In this situation, playing football is like playing guerrilla:
The first grade students can still find a place to play football near the school. The second grade students may have to go to the east of the city. The third grade students have to move to outside the West Third Ring Road, which will increase the cost of playing football for many children, and even make them lose money.
Many families give up letting their children play football.
At present, most of the football stadiums in society are commercial stadiums built with private capital, and the management and maintenance levels are uneven. Moreover, many venues are "waste utilization" of wasteland that has not been planned for the time being. With the changes in urban planning,
, this year it is a football field, next year it may become a garbage recycling station and a municipal park.
"Our company is willing to cooperate with the government to scientifically plan and build more football parks. Make full use of Hu Lai's signature effect and cooperate with the Jincheng City Government and the Andong Provincial Government to build Jincheng into China's 'Football City', Anton
Build China into a 'strong football province', and let football become another business card of Anton Jincheng besides food, beautiful scenery, and pandas..."
The two representatives were still thinking, but Xie Lan had already slapped his thigh: "Xiao Yun is right, that's what we mean! If we want to build it, we should build a big one! We need to build a museum, and we need to build a football park, and the more the better! This way, we can build a big one!
There is a football park in the city, and there is also a football park in Dongchuan!”
Director Wang and Director Yang looked at each other again, and finally Director Wang said: "We will seriously consider your suggestion..."
Diao Xiaoyun said: "The football park can be considered again, but it has been confirmed that the museum will be built in Dongchuan. So can we advance the Hu Lai Museum project first? We hope to be able to complete it and open it to the outside world before the 2034 China World Cup."
"This is no problem." Director Yang from Dongchuan nodded and said firmly, "We will start working on this project when we get back. We will strive to complete it within three years."
Diao Xiaoyun turned to look at Xie Lan. Her aunt gave her a thumbs up and praised her for a job well done.
