The next day, Zhang Yiming rushed into Lin Chen's office in a hurry.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong?"
"Boss, the official Weibo account of a certain company has retweeted our live-streaming event to help farmers!"
"Really?!"
"Of course it's true. Go check Weibo, it's probably trending already."
Lin Chen opened Weibo, and sure enough, live streaming to help farmers had become a trending topic.
Lin Chen found the official Weibo account of a certain company and clicked on it.
A certain news agency reposted Panda TV's Weibo post, adding the caption: "Leading cadres should take initiative and explore innovation."
This simple sentence defines the nature of this matter—it was the right thing to do!
He also took the opportunity to criticize all the government officials: You people should learn from others and stop slacking off all day long. Don't you understand the importance of being diligent and serving the people?
A short while later, Li Mengqi also arrived.
"Boss, I've received many calls from county and municipal governments this morning, asking us to host live streams on our Panda TV platform. What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen turned the computer monitor around to show Li Mengqi.
"See, that's the reason."
Li Mengqi glanced at it, then her eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed.
"New [Company Name]!"
"Yes, so now you know why these official leaders are so eager to cooperate with us. The higher-ups have already made their stance clear, so they have no choice but to rush in."
"Then what do we do?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
"Got it, senior. First, register all the calls, then tell them that our agricultural assistance live-streaming project has now been taken over by the Shanghai government. Currently, they need to confirm the schedule. After the review, someone from the Shanghai government will contact them."
"Okay, I'll reply right away. My phone hasn't stopped ringing since I started work."
"Wait a minute, senior. Let's screen these places that have called first, and pick out the truly impoverished areas for priority."
"Understood."
Yu Rongguang, the county head of Guanghe County, didn't sleep all night. He had just returned to his office after the live broadcast to help farmers, and the phone hadn't stopped ringing. It was all calls asking if they were still buying pears. Well, that's great, the county government doesn't even need to go looking for fruit farmers to buy pears anymore, these calls are enough.
The phone calls didn't stop until 11 p.m.
But Yu Rongguang couldn't rest yet; he had to allocate today's 60-ton soft pear order.
Because Zhang Tao had told him during the previous meeting that it would be good if they could sell 100,000 tons, he only purchased 150,000 tons of pears, thinking that should be enough, and if it was really not enough, he could just go and purchase some more temporarily.
Unexpectedly, this live-streaming event to help farmers sell their produce by pandas delivered a huge surprise: 60 tons! That was several times more than originally anticipated!
The problem now is that we need to purchase the extra 450,000 tons ourselves, but who should we buy from? This is a big problem.
Of course, he could also directly approach several large local fruit farmers; he wouldn't need many, one person might be enough to buy all 450,000 tons.
But if we do that, we lose the point of live-streaming to help farmers.
Therefore, he wanted to allocate these orders to fruit farmers who truly needed help, while ensuring the quality and appearance of the soft pears as much as possible.
Fortunately, when Panda TV contacted them before, they had already conducted a survey of the entire county and clearly knew which fruit farmers truly needed help and how many soft pears they had.
And so, Yu Rongguang stayed busy in the office until the next morning.
The next morning, the secretary pushed open the door to Yu Rongguang's office.
Yu Rongguang was found sleeping with his head on the table.
"Old Yu, wake up, get up!"
Yu Rongguang raised his head, wiped his drool, and mumbled sleepily.
"What time is it?"
"Around 7:30."
"Why did you wake me up at 7:30? I was busy until 5 a.m. last night and had just fallen asleep when you woke me up."
"The governor will be here soon, you can continue sleeping."
"No one can disturb my sleep, the governor... what?! The governor is coming?"
"Yes, the autonomous prefecture government office just called me. I estimate they'll arrive in about two hours."
"Then why are you still sleeping? Hurry up and get ready!"
Then, Yu Rongguang immediately took out his mobile phone and called the director of the county office, telling him to organize people to make preparations as soon as he arrived at work.
After making the call, County Chief Yu asked the Party Secretary.
"Why did the governor suddenly come here?"
"Hehe, that's all thanks to you, Lao Yu. I have a feeling you're about to get a promotion."
"Borrowing my favor?"
"Yes, your live-streaming sales event was reposted by a certain media outlet, and it's very popular online now."
"Wow, this is JD.com's new social media platform, that's too exaggerated."
"What's with the exaggeration? A certain news agency even praised you for taking initiative and exploring innovation. If the governor couldn't understand such an obvious political signal, then he wouldn't be the governor."
The county office director was still sleeping at home when he suddenly received a call from the county head and was a little confused. But when he heard that the governor was coming, he instantly woke up, got up, dressed, and ran to the county party committee building.
Fortunately, he lived nearby; it was only a ten-minute walk from his home to the county government building.
After some preparation, the county committee members waited downstairs.
Just then, a car drove in.
"Are they here? Are they here?"
"I'm not sure if this is the right car? Let's go up and check first."
Zhao Qiang drove into the county government compound, where a group of people surrounded him, startling him.
After parking the car, Zhang Tao got out from the passenger seat.
"County head, Party secretary, what are you doing? This is quite a big fuss, it's making me feel a little embarrassed."
"Why is it you?"
"Huh? What?"
Zhang Tao was completely bewildered.
The county office director quickly said, "Manager Zhang, it's like this, the governor of our autonomous prefecture is coming today, he'll be here soon, and we're here to welcome him. Who knew your car would just drive in like this? We thought it was the governor who had arrived."
This whole thing is a bit awkward, isn't it?
"Ahem, well, I just came over to discuss something with the county head about the live-streaming sales event this afternoon. How about I come back later?"
County Chief Yu said, "Let's talk about it now. We don't know what the governor wants to do here, or if he'll be free later."
"Oh, it's like this. Our headquarters called to tell me that our live-streaming event to help farmers has been taken over by the Shanghai government. From now on, we'll have to use the Shanghai government's name. So I came to tell County Chief Yu to remember to add a thank you to the Shanghai government during the live stream this afternoon."
