Chapter 816 Heading North
This is easy to say but difficult to do.
Although reform and opening up have been going on for some time, and the atmosphere in Shanghai is much more relaxed than in many inland cities, people are still cautious about new things.
Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun both worked in the foreign trade department before, so they had some connections. In addition, with the background and channels behind them, although some aspects of their work were quite convenient, progress was slow due to various problems.
A few friends who knew Lin Yan privately and frankly told her that it was not that they did not want to support this matter, but that there was no precedent at all. Once this decision was made, if any trouble arose and they were held accountable, it would not be a trivial matter.
Therefore, the other party suggested that if Lin Yan and her colleagues could get approval from the higher-level departments, or approve a note and make a notification, and then the local departments could coordinate, and if all relevant departments communicated and agreed to form a collective opinion, it would be much easier to promote .
After getting advice, Li Xiaoyun directly told Luo Yang about the matter and asked Luo Yang to come forward to resolve it.
Luo Yang is a really capable guy. He went straight to Yanjing without saying a word, explained his ideas to his former boss, and then contacted the local people in Shanghai. He finally got approval in principle.
But this is only the first step in a long journey, because there are still stamping and approval procedures from various departments to go. Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun calculated that to complete it, at least 35 stamps would be needed. If all these stamps were to be stamped, even if they were stamped one a day, it would take more than a month to finish.
But things have come to this point, we can't stop. Besides, the bus advertising project is the most important project for the advertising company this year.
Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun privately calculated that if they could get advertisements on bus bodies throughout the city, it would be a huge success for the advertising company's future development.
Think about it, how many buses are running around the city every day? How eye-catching the body advertisements of these vehicles will be, and the effect and benefits brought by them are obvious.
More importantly, once this situation is broken, Lin Yan and her team will be able to use the example of Shanghai to directly negotiate with bus companies in major cities such as Yanjing, Tianjin, Suzhou, and Yangcheng, replicate this operation, and thus further expand their influence, allowing the advertising company to completely leap to a new level.
After chatting with Lin Yan for a long time on the phone, Song Yuanchao expressed his support for the advertising company's decision. However, he also pointed out that some work must be done solidly, especially after the car body advertising is completely taken over, the subsequent advertising content and design must be considered in advance.
Mobile advertising on bus bodies is not just ordinary print advertising. As buses are public transportation tools, they are deeply integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Once it is launched, the impact will be enormous.
The couple then chatted about their children before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
After a night's rest, Sun Yaoliang drove to pick up Song Yuanchao early the next morning.
The city where Lu Jun is located is not far from Jinling. If you take the train from Jinling, you have to take a detour, and the long-distance bus will be bumpy and the conditions are not good. So Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang discussed and decided to drive there directly. According to the distance, if they set out in the morning and hurry up, they can arrive at midnight today.
Sun Yaoliang was driving the car and Song Yuanchao was sitting in the passenger seat. The trunk of the car was filled with their luggage and the wedding gift for Lu Jun.
We soon left the city, crossed the river to the north, and headed towards our destination according to the map.
"Lao Liu has finally gotten his happy ending after all the hardships he's endured. Last time I got married, I called him and asked about his personal affairs . At that time, he told me to focus on work. I didn't expect that his personal problems would be solved in the blink of an eye. So, when fate has come, nothing can stop it." Sun Yaoliang said with emotion, holding the steering wheel.
Song Yuanchao smiled and nodded: "That's true. People are like this. Fate comes when it's meant to."
"Yuan Chao, what do you think of Lao Liu's ex-fiancee's current situation? Does he know about this when he gets married this time? Will he regret it?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask?" Song Yuanchao rolled his eyes at him and reminded him, "Don't bring up anything when you meet Old Six. You must not ask about this, let alone mention it!"
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'm just bored driving, so I just talked to you about it." Sun Yaoliang replied quickly.
Song Yuanchao nodded and sighed in his heart. He still remembered how Lu Jun looked when he was heartbroken. Song Yuanchao knew the pain that emotional trauma had brought to Lu Jun. If Song Yuanchao had not noticed Lu Jun's emotional problems in time and took him to the Wild Great Wall after knowing his situation and finally enlightened him, Lu Jun might have been stuck in it and couldn't get out.
Even so, Lu Jun never found a girlfriend for a long time afterwards. Song Yuanchao even tried to remind him indirectly every time they contacted him, but Lu Jun always avoided the topic and didn't touch on it at all.
There was a time when Song Yuanchao even thought that Lu Jun had completely lost faith in love and planned to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Jun was actually going to get married.
Lv Jun is the sixth oldest in the dormitory and is already 30 years old this year. After losing his love, Lv Jun returned to his hometown after graduation and was officially assigned to work in the local education department after completing his internship.
As Lv Jun is a college student of Beijing University and has strong working ability, he quickly gained the trust and reuse of the leaders of the unit. Now Lv Jun is already a middle-level cadre in the education department. As a young cadre, his rank is not low. In addition, Lv Jun is a student of a prestigious university. Several bureau leaders are very good to Lv Jun. It is said that he will be given important responsibilities in the future. It can be said that he has a bright future.
Song Yuanchao felt that Lu Jun's previous fiancée was not worth it. A woman who had no long-term vision and only saw immediate benefits was not worthy of Lu Jun at all.
As for the fact that this woman did not choose Lu Jun but chose a self-employed man, and abandoned Lu Jun for a mere 2,000 yuan dowry and threw herself into the arms of another man, such a woman is simply the epitome of short-sightedness.
Song Yuanchao did not look down on self-employed people at all, because when he made his first pot of gold, he did not make as much as a self-employed person, and Luo Yang had also been a self-employed person. Self-employed people make a living by labor, and there is nothing shameful that.
But then again, Lu Jun may not be as rich as the self-employed, but his future is real. As classmates for four years, Song Yuanchao knows Lu Jun very well. He is a down-to-earth young man, and as a college student, he has a bright future.
Song Yuanchao concluded that this woman would definitely regret it in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head again. This was Lu Jun's private matter, and besides, it was a thing of the past. What did it have to do with Song Yuanchao?
The national highway is much busier now than before. With the deepening of reform and opening up in recent years, the local logistics industry has gradually prospered.
Like Zhang Jianguo's logistics company, many people in society have already invested in the logistics industry, and there are also many state-owned enterprises with transportation capabilities and some private individuals who buy cars for long-distance travel. With the rise of logistics and transportation, the traffic on the national highway is also more than in previous years.
After crossing the river and heading northwest, there was gradually more traffic on the national highway and the speed slowed down a lot.
After driving for more than three hours and passing Shou County, the road conditions improved a lot. However, seeing that it was almost noon, Song Yuanchao suggested finding a place to eat and then continue after the meal.
They stopped at a town ahead and found a small restaurant to have lunch. Because they were driving in a hurry, they ate casually. They asked the boss to stir-fry two side dishes and make an egg soup, and filled their stomachs with a bowl of rice.
After paying the bill, the two changed seats and Song Yuanchao drove on. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally entered Zhongyuan Province and continued along the national highway.
"Yuanchao, let me drive, shall we?" Sun Yaoliang had been dozing off for an hour. He opened his eyes and looked outside and asked where they were. Song Yuanchao gave a rough location. Sun Yaoliang looked at the time and said to him.
"I'll drive for a while longer. When we get to the front, we'll get off the car to rest and have something to eat before you take over." Song Yuanchao said to him.
Sun Yaoliang responded, took out a cigarette, lit it, and then put it directly into the mouth of Song Yuanchao who was driving, and then lit one for himself.
"Why is the road condition so bad?" The national highway here is much worse than the previous one. It gets worse and worse as you go forward. There are many potholes in many places. Fortunately, their car is a small one with good shock absorption effect, but it is still very bumpy.
"The economic conditions here in Zhongyuan Province are poor, not as good as those in coastal areas, so the roads are naturally worse as well." Song Yuanchao said casually, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. When he saw a pothole, he quickly turned the steering wheel to go around it, but the pothole was bigger and the rear wheel sank, and the two people in the car were shaken again.
"This road is too bad. The roads in my hometown are pretty bad, but not this bad." Sun Yaoliang complained, looking around and said to Song Yuanchao, "Such a bad road would make a small car bumpy , how can a driver of a big car drive a car like this? By the way, it seems that the road conditions are even worse in some places now? Will it be okay for us to continue forward?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a national highway, not a county road or a rural road. There are a lot of cars traveling on this road. How could there be so many troubles?" Song Yuanchao replied. Before setting out, he had already called Zhang Jianguo and asked about the conditions on the road. Zhang Jianguo told him that there would be no problems along the way. Some places are a bit difficult to travel on, but they are basically remote places. The basic road conditions on a national highway like this are still fine. Otherwise, how can they, who are engaged in logistics, drive their cars?
