Chapter 2136: Flood Control Deployment (4000 words)

"There is no need!" Zhou Andong sat down. "If you are not there, I will preside over the meeting. It is mainly about flood control, there is no other work."

Wu Huilin yawned, got up, and turned around the office twice. "You, day after day, are like a dragon seeing its head but not its tail. What if something suddenly happens and you leave?"

"The meeting is at ten o'clock, there is still more than an hour. You lie on the sofa and sleep for a while." Zhou Andong laughed, got up, and walked out. "I'm going to find Man Man Laoyezi Man to chat."

He went out of the factory department, originally wanting to stroll and walk to Xurishang, but the rain outside seemed to be getting a bit heavier, so he let Wang Wentian drive him over.

Man Hongshan was also reading the newspaper, and when he heard the knock on the door, he shouted without raising his head.

"Come in!"

Zhou Andong pushed the door open and saw the old man sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper in his hand, and a cup of tea on the coffee table. Looking at the steaming appearance, it should be freshly poured boiling water.

"Director Man, is there any big news?"

"I am reading the news about the group's event last night."

After Man Hongshan finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw it was Zhou Andong, and he grinned.

"Chairman, sit down quickly."

Zhou Andong sat down slowly. "Do Coca-Cola and Pepsi have any new moves recently?"

Man Hongshan put the newspaper in his hand aside. "Yes, recently, due to the continuous exposure of quality problems in gifts, Coca-Cola has canceled its prize-winning sales activities."

"But they immediately launched a gift-drinking activity. Although the overall sales volume has declined somewhat, the magnitude is not too large. I think this should be attributed to their product sinking strategy."

"Their sales volume in township areas is steadily rising, successfully filling the impact brought by the decline in the urban market. If this trend is allowed to continue, the township market is very likely to be occupied by Coca-Cola."

Man Hongshan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket while speaking, pulled one out and handed it to Zhou Andong, then continued, "At the same time, Pepsi also launched a gift-drinking activity and is actively developing the township market. It is foreseeable that our future battlefield will shift to the rural market."

"Click!"

Zhou Andong took Man Hongshan's lighter and lit the cigarette. "It's time to hold a press conference to announce that Very Cola is going to India to invest and build a factory."

Man Hongshan said with high spirits, "I will hold a meeting this afternoon to study this matter."

Zhou Andong continued, "Since it is acting, the play must be done fully. After the press conference, we must organize an inspection team to go to India for inspection, and we must go with great fanfare. Don't rush back, stay there for three or five months, and everything must be discussed according to normal commercial investment."

"Understood!" For Zhou Andong's arrangement, even if there are some places Man Hongshan doesn't understand very well, he will execute it without discount.

"Also!" Zhou Andong said after pondering for a moment, "Go find Old Wu and let him arrange for Diya to print a batch of posters, just use the images of Andy Lau and Jiang Yuyue in the Very Cola advertisement, and print the 1995 calendar at the bottom."

"Tell him, for things posted on the wall, the quality just needs to be okay, mainly to save costs. Launch it in October, buy a bottle of Very Cola, and get a poster."

"This is okay!"

Man Hongshan nodded. Nowadays, the price of an ordinary New Year picture is about two or three yuan. If it is a star poster, like the Four Heavenly Kings or the Little Tigers, it costs five or six yuan each, but the actual cost is very low.

At present, all three parties are eyeing the rural market. Next, the rural market will become a huge gold-swallowing beast. Whoever has strong funds and is willing to throw money into it, the final victory will belong to whom, and he has long been prepared with two hundred million in funds.

"Also!" Zhou Andong instructed again, "Increase the investment in township wall advertisements. Whether it is on the side of the national highway or at the intersection of the countryside, as long as there is a suitable wall, brush the advertisement for me."

"Township wall advertisements don't cost much money, private residences, give them thirty or fifty is enough." Man Hongshan took a puff of his cigarette. "In addition, how to give away posters? If it is gift-drinking, do you give away posters?"

"Gift-drinking certainly cannot give away posters." Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Only those who spend money to buy cola will be given posters."

Then, Zhou Andong explained the matters needing attention when going to India, arranged more security personnel, and particularly emphasized to Man Hongshan that he must not arrange for female comrades to go.

Man Hongshan still didn't understand. After all, in this era, international news is relatively blocked. Except for some major international events, domestic media naturally wouldn't report those bizarre rape cases of Brother A-San.

"Time is almost up." Zhou Andong checked his watch. "Let's go!"

The two walked out of the office, and Man Hongshan asked, "What meeting is today?"

"Flood control!" Zhou Andong said with concern. "Since entering June, there have been serious flood disasters all over the country. I look at the weather forecast, these few days, our Jiangzhou is also raining every day. The city has already issued a flood control warning, and our enterprise cannot be negligent."

The expression on Man Hongshan's face became serious. "This really cannot be negligent. The disaster relief person in charge sent to Heilongjiang Province to transport materials last night called me to report that the disaster situation there is very serious, and they have to participate in flood fighting and cannot come back for a while."

Zhou Andong pushed the door and walked out of the factory department. "Be sure to explain to them to pay attention to safety."

"I have already explained to them." Man Hongshan didn't take his own car but got into Zhou Andong's car. "We can give money, effort, and materials, but we can't give our lives."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly. "This is well said. We can give money, effort, and materials, but we can't lose our lives."

Wang Wentian drove the car out of Xurishang and arrived at Yugong Liquor Industry in a slip. At this time, the parking lot downstairs of the factory building was full of cars.

When Zhou Andong and Man Hongshan arrived at the large conference room, except for the leaders of the branch factories in various places, everyone had already arrived.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

"Director Man!"

"..."

As soon as Zhou Andong and Man Hongshan came in, the people below stood up one after another to greet them.

"Sit down, sit down!"

Zhou Andong waved his hand, directly ignored Gu Bing, greeted Wu Huilin, Qian Zhen, and Du Chunlai, and then sat down.

"Are everyone here?"

Wu Huilin beside him replied, "Everyone is here. President Du modified the emergency plan according to the flood control and flood prevention measures of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. I read it and it is very good."

Zhou Andong nodded, raised his hand, and tapped the microphone. "I think everyone has noticed the 'Emergency Notice on Relevant Work Arrangements for Flood Control and Rescue' issued by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government the day before yesterday, requiring leading cadres of cities, counties, and enterprises to stop their vacations, all be in their posts, and do a good job in flood control, rescue, and emergency duty."

"Of course, this enterprise refers to state-owned enterprises, but once a flood disaster occurs, it will cause serious impact on the production and operation of the enterprise and the life safety of employees."

"So I called this meeting to make flood control measures and emergency plans in advance, improve flood prevention and flood control capabilities, and avoid unpredictable losses to us once a flood occurs."

After speaking, Zhou Andong looked at Du Chunlai. "Old Du, you say it."

Du Chunlai opened a document in front of him. "Flood control work, implementation must be highly valued, responsibilities must be in place, and measures must be appropriate. We must firmly establish the idea of preventing major floods, clarify responsibilities, implement tasks, and ensure the life safety of enterprises and employees."

"First, establish a flood control headquarters, requiring all departments to deeply implement the idea of full participation and everyone's responsibility, unified command by the group, dispatching personnel, and all equipped with walkie-talkies."

"If encountering relatively large rainfall, team leaders, deputy team leaders, and members must stick to their flood control posts, and all teams accept flood control dispatch tasks. In addition, we must also form rescue teams. All personnel of the group and subsidiaries have the responsibility and obligation to participate in flood fighting and rescue to protect our home..."

Du Chunlai talked for more than half an hour, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued.

"Flood control measures during the flood season: 1. Put all flood control equipment at the guard post, mainly including woven bags, sand, shovels, etc. 2. Key parts of the company: the entrance of all factory buildings of the company."

"3. Danger: water flowing inward at the company entrance, drainage pipes blocked, water level rising in the urban area. 4. Before the arrival of the flood season, office personnel must carefully patrol the key parts of the whole factory."

"Such as whether the drainage ditch on the roof platform is unobstructed, and at the same time clean up the garbage on the roof. Check whether there are accumulations in the sewage well and drainage pipe, and clear them to ensure unobstructed drainage..."

Zhou Andong originally wanted to let everyone brainstorm and make a good flood control emergency plan. He didn't expect Du Chunlai to work so detailed, which saved a lot of trouble.

The meeting lasted for three hours. Du Chunlai served as the leader of the flood control headquarters, and Wu Huilin, Qian Zhen, and Man Hongshan served as deputy leaders.

Wu Huilin is a woman after all, and has no flood control experience. She is mainly responsible for logistics. Once a flood occurs, logistics work is also the most important.

After the meeting, Zhou Andong stopped Yao Jun. "Dajun!"

"Dongge!"

Yao Jun also wanted to go back quickly to deploy flood control work, but was stopped by Zhou Andong.

For Zhou Andong, these retired soldiers of Jundun Security are the main force.

"You organize some manpower, and in addition, form a rescue team to go to Jinli County with me."

Yao Jun understood immediately. "You mean, the Lingchuan River will be very dangerous?"

"The power of flood fighting is all in the city. If a flood occurs, the problem in the city will not be too big. As for whether the Lingchuan River is dangerous, who knows."

Zhou Andong shook his head. "Be prepared for a rainy day. It's better if the expected flood doesn't happen. If it happens and the Lingchuan River has danger, we have prepared in advance, and we can deal with it better and faster."

"I understand!" Yao Jun stepped down the stairs and said while walking, "Except for the escort department, the dispatched personnel can be pulled back, and those on vacation can be called back. Leave some people at home, and we can organize more than two hundred people."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded, and the two walked out of the factory department.

Yao Jun asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Grandpa and Grandma." Zhou Andong said worriedly, "These few days, don't let them wander around. They are old. If something really happens, they won't be able to react."

"I'm leaving!" Yao Jun got into the car, opened the window, and waved at Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong nodded and got into his own car. "Go to Yipin Dongfang!"

At this time, the old man and the old lady were eating, and they were very happy to see their eldest grandson coming.

The old lady went to get a bowl to serve rice, and the old man poured liquor.

"When did you come back?"

"The night before last!"

Zhou Andong looked at the dishes on the table, a plate of cucumber mixed with dried tofu, a plate of stir-fried salted peanuts, and a plate of mixed pig head meat.

"How is it? Are you used to living here?"

Zhou Andong picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of pig head meat, dipped it in the garlic sauce bowl, and sent it into his mouth.

The old man laughed. "I didn't dare to dream that one day I would live in such a good and big house. What's not to be used to?"

Zhou Andong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the old man. "Have you been back to Tanghezi to see?"

"No!" The old man snorted. "I don't want to find trouble for myself. It's so good now, quiet, do whatever I want, eat whatever I want. Sometimes I will go to the restaurant with your grandma."

Zhou Andong laughed loudly. "Has Zhou Erlei been here?"

"Often come!" A smile appeared on the old man's face. "Send me buns and vegetables, and say that he bought a big store on the west gate side and is decorating it. When the decoration is finished, I and his grandma don't have to cook by ourselves, and go to his shop to eat every day."

Saying that, the old man picked up the wine glass very happily, took a sip of liquor with a squeak. "Married a wife, had a daughter, although not biological, but Erleizi grew up and became sensible, which is very good."

Zhou Andong wanted to ask if the uncle and aunt had gone to Zhou Erlei's shop to make trouble, but thinking about it, Zhou Erlei couldn't tell the old man and the old lady, they wouldn't know.

"These few days, it rains every day, and the city has issued a flood control and flood prevention warning. Don't wander around, especially on the dam, you must not go."

The old man asked with a serious face, "Is there going to be a flood?"

"It's just a warning, be prepared in advance." Zhou Andong grabbed a few peanuts with his hand and threw them into his mouth. "Whether there will be a flood, it depends on the mood of God."

The old man looked out the window. "The rain is not heavy now, you go to the cemetery with me in a while."

"Didn't you go on July 1st?" Zhou Andong knew that the old man would go to the cemetery on July 1st.

"It is being built there, I went, and they didn't let me in." Speaking of this matter, the old man was very indignant. "I just went in to see my comrades-in-arms, send them two bottles of liquor, send a few cigarettes, how can it not be done."

"Now it's just that I'm old and have no temper. If I were young, if they dared to stop me, I would have knocked them all down and thrown them down the mountain."

Zhou Andong's mouth twitched. If the old man knew that the person in charge of the cemetery construction project was his two sons-in-law, I don't know if he would call them over and scold them.

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded. "We will go after eating."

When the old man heard it, he drank the remaining liquor in one gulp, got up, went to the room, and took out two bottles of Yugong Liquor and a pack of Huazi.

"Don't eat, let's go now."

The old lady said dissatisfiedly, "You wait for the eldest grandson to finish eating, what's the rush?"

"What time is it now?" The old man began to put on his coat and take his umbrella. "It's still raining outside, let's eat when we come back."

Zhou Andong put down his chopsticks helplessly, got up, and followed the old man out the door.

Because it was raining, there was only a night watchman in the cemetery. Seeing Zhou Andong and the old man, he let them in without saying a word.

At this time, the Hero Monument had been built, more than thirty meters high, towering into the clouds, with the ancient weapon "Ge" style, implying war and peace, with "The revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed for the liberation of Jiangzhou will live forever" engraved on the front.

The old man stood in front of the monument for a long while, his eyes a little moist, and said, "This monument is good, atmospheric!"

Zhou Andong held an umbrella and helped the old man walk up. Because the square had not been finished, there were stone materials and cement and some building materials everywhere.

Half of the martyr tombs above had been repaired, all covered with stone arches, and the tombstones were black mirror granite.

Jiangzhou was an important battlefield of the War of Liberation. There were only 241 famous martyrs. The other more than 12,000 martyrs who sacrificed in the battle to attack Jiangzhou were all unknown martyrs.

In addition, there were martyrs of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and martyrs of the army, police, and people in the new era, who were also buried here, but in other areas.

And in the surrounding area, there were many scattered martyr tombs. Now the city has been migrating those scattered martyr tombs, all of which are to be buried in the cemetery.

"This project is not small!" The old man patted Zhou Andong on the shoulder. "Dongzi, you did a very good job, very good."

Zhou Andong helped the old man unpack the liquor and cigarettes, and then poured liquor and lit cigarettes for several martyrs who had been repaired and had names.

The old man stood in front of the tomb and said, "Dongzi, do you know what soldiers are most afraid of?"

Zhou Andong shook his head honestly. "Don't know!"

"We are not afraid of death, what we are most afraid of is living, standing in front of the comrade's tomb and saluting."

The corners of the old man's eyes were completely moist, and then he saluted with all his strength. ===== CHAPTER 2137 =====
