Great Medicine Without Borders

Xu Chunliang made a request to Jiang Qiyong. In view that the representatives sent by the Science and Technology Museum and the Planning Museum were both at the deputy division level, his current identity was obviously not enough. He suggested that it would be better for their side to send a deputy division-level leader to participate in the discussion. He directly mentioned Ding Yifeng's name.

Jiang Qiyong was a little confused. Why did he choose Ding Yifeng instead of Chen Xingmin? Logically, Chen Xingmin should be in charge of this matter.

But he didn't ask. It wasn't an excessive request anyway, so I just tried my best to satisfy him.

Ding Yifeng also felt puzzled. He and Xu Chunliang had never had a good relationship. Xu Chunliang kept damaging his interests since he came to the unit. He didn't understand why he had to participate, but as a deputy director, it was not easy for him to ask. Since he couldn't refuse, he had to go along and act according to circumstances.

Xu Chunliang was very polite to Ding Yifeng today, calling him Director Ding all the time. Ding Yifeng had never seen him so polite before.

The more polite Xu Chunliang was, the more uneasy Ding Yifeng felt. He wondered where this kid was waiting for him to do something bad.

Today's symposium was held in the temporary conference hall of the New Cultural Center. In fact, each of the three main buildings has its own conference room, but because no one has officially moved in yet, it is hard to say what the conference hall's future function will be.

The current conference hall is located in the future Planning Museum and is also the largest conference hall in the new cultural center. In addition to being provided to the Planning Museum, it will also be open to the public and host various social conferences.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Xu Chunliang couldn't help but complain: "Director Ding, this conference room is so big and impressive. Our conference room is not even one-third of this size."

Ding Yifeng nodded and saw that the room was empty. Apart from them, there was no one else. Ding Yifeng raised his wrist to check the time: "Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Xu Chunliang shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. A staff member happened to come and the two asked, only to find out that they had gone to the wrong place. They were now in the large lecture hall and the meeting was to be held in the small conference room on the third floor.

Leaving the large lecture hall, Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "Large lecture hall, what do they have to report? This lecture hall should be given to us."

Ding Yifeng couldn't help but remind him to pay attention to unity. It would be fine if he said such things in front of his own people. If others heard it, it would be detrimental to the unity and cooperation among comrades.

When we arrived at the small conference room, the other leaders who were going to attend the symposium had all arrived, but there were still five minutes before the agreed start time of the meeting.

Led by the staff, the two came to their seats and sat down.

Li Minghui, director of the Planning Museum, said to Ding Yifeng with a smile: "Old Ding, why did you arrive just now? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ding Yifeng responded somewhat awkwardly: "I went to the wrong place just now. I went to the lecture hall."

Xu Chunliang said: "Isn't the meeting at ten o'clock? It seems that we are not late."

Li Minghui glanced at Xu Chunliang and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, we old comrades are used to coming here early. It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't use our standards to require young cadres like you."

Xu Chunliang cursed in his heart, I haven't made a move against you yet, you want to show me your power first? Are you blind? Xu Chunliang didn't respond immediately, looking at Ding Yifeng meaningfully. Ding Yifeng was the deputy director, and the purpose of letting him come here was to block the artillery fire in front. At the critical moment, he should be the first to stand up for the Cultural and Tourism Bureau.

But Ding Yifeng disappointed Xu Chunliang. He had no intention of sharing the same hatred with Xu Chunliang and actually took the initiative to admit defeat: "High standards and strict requirements are good things. We should learn more from Director Li in this regard."

Xu Chunliang became more and more unhappy. I know you are not on the same side as me, but I didn't expect you to side with the other side. I have recorded it all. I will play it for Jiang Qiyong later. How can a person like you who is not presentable have the qualifications to be the deputy head of the Culture and Tourism Bureau?

Xu Chunliang said: "According to what you said, we should call on our entire Culture and Tourism Bureau to learn from Deputy Director Li Minghui of Planning and strive to be the first in everything, whether it is attending meetings or going to work before others."

The smile on Li Minghui's face turned a little awkward. The young man was so arrogant that he dared to mock him in front of so many people!

Tian Liwen, director of the Science and Technology Museum, added fuel to the fire: "Director Ding, the young cadres in your Culture and Tourism Bureau are really amazing."

Ding Yifeng smiled and said, "In fact, Xiao Xu has always worked very hard."

Li Minghui said: "The time is up, let's start the discussion as soon as possible."

The meeting started according to the normal process, with the three companies first stating the specific needs and usage plans of their venues.

Ding Yifeng originally thought that it was just an ordinary symposium, but a contradiction immediately arose in the first agenda of the meeting. Although the new cultural center has a large public area, the needs of the three units are also not small. The trouble is that the needs of the three venues overlap and competition is inevitable.

All parties hope to gain more public resources to ensure their own future development, and even the public toilets outside the venue have become one of the focal points of the dispute.

Although the city allocated the three main buildings equally to the museum, science and technology museum, and planning museum, the public areas were not divided in detail. The three parties also lacked communication in the early stages and did not reach a consensus in this regard.

The plans proposed by the Science and Technology Museum accounted for the largest proportion. Tian Liwen said confidently: "Everyone should know that after the Science and Technology Museum is built and opened, the main groups it faces are primary and secondary school students, most of whom are minors, so safety measures must be in place, emergency evacuation passages, and outdoor spaces are indispensable. I hope everyone will understand more and leave more space for the future of the motherland."

Ding Yifeng actually nodded.

Xu Chunliang sneered: "Haha, Director Tian, ​​according to what you said, our museum has no primary and secondary school students visiting? Our visitors are all adults?"

Tian Liwen said: "What I mean is that technology represents the future and hope of a nation."

Xu Chunliang asked: "Director Tian, ​​which is more important, the future or history?"

Tian Liwen said: "Don't raise the topic to this level. It has no meaning in solving real problems."

Xu Chunliang said: "If you want to talk about reality, then I will talk to you about reality. The reality is that our museum will be open to the public immediately after the relocation, while your science and technology museum is still under construction."

Tian Liwen said: "There is no science and technology museum in the entire Jeju area. This is abnormal for a prefecture-level city and is also a huge shortcoming. Therefore, we must build one from scratch. The construction of the science and technology museum is of great significance."

Xu Chunliang said: "Director Tian means that museums and planning halls are not as important as your science and technology museum?"

“That’s not what I meant. Everyone is equally important, but there are already many museums around Jeju, but there is not even a science and technology museum.”

Xu Chunliang said: "Excuse me, but the exhibits in your museum simply cannot support such a large area."

Tian Liwen asked: "What do you mean?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It doesn't mean anything. What I mean is that even if your science and technology museum is built and opened to the public, the daily passenger flow will not be too large."

Tian Liwen turned his gaze to Ding Yifeng again: "Director Ding, the city government asked us to have a discussion and coordination together, and this is your attitude. Are you here to discredit our brother units?"

Ding Yifeng frowned: "Xiao Xu, let's just talk about the facts and don't cause any conflicts."

Xu Chunliang said, "Director Ding, I am just discussing the matter at hand. Without investigation, I have no right to speak. Since I am here to hold this symposium, I must be fully prepared. I have investigated data from various sources. Director Li just said it well. There is no science and technology museum in Jeju. But if Jeju doesn't have one, there should be one in the neighboring cities. Take the three cities bordering us as an example. Only Dongzhou has a science and technology museum. Come, let me show you the data."

Xu Chunliang asked the staff to show the PPT to everyone and said loudly: "The Dongzhou Science and Technology Museum was built five years ago. Its size and area are equivalent to one-third of the Jeju Science and Technology Museum. It receives 5,600 visitors a year. You read that right. Please note that this is the number of visitors, not the number of people. This also includes repeat visitors."

Li Minghui, director of the Planning Museum, also looked unhappy, because although Xu Chunliang did not mention them, the PPT showed the comparison of the number of visitors to the Dongzhou Museum, the Science and Technology Museum, and the Planning Museum. The museum had 2.15 million visitors, the Science and Technology Museum had 5,600 visitors, and the Planning Museum had an even lower number of 4,400 visitors, which means that there were only about ten people on average per day.

Li Minghui said: "This data is from Dongzhou, it can be used as a reference, but it cannot explain the problem."

Xu Chunliang turned directly to the next page. This was a data comparison of Jeju venues. There was no data for the Science and Technology Museum. The Jeju Museum had a total of 786,000 visitors throughout the year, and the Jeju Planning Center had a total of 2,321 visitors throughout the year.

Li Minghui was so embarrassed that he knew the situation of his unit very well. Normally, there were no visitors at all. Before the meeting, he would even think that the number of visitors was already quite a lot. But Xu Chunliang announced the data at this time, which was clearly a slap in the face of him and Tian Liwen.

Li Minghui didn't get angry, but Tian Liwen got angry first: "Xiao Xu, what do you mean? What can such data prove? We all know that each place has its own situation. The existence and success of some venues are not measured by the number of visitors. Can selling needles, thread and brains be the same as selling televisions? Amusement parks have more visitors, but do you dare to say that the significance of the existence of amusement parks is more important than that of science and technology museums? People should not be short-sighted and only focus on superficial things. We should look at the long term. How to make the next generation interested in science and technology is our ultimate goal. We should never forget the four words "science and technology will make the country prosperous."

Li Minghui nodded.

Xu Chunliang said, "I didn't say you are unimportant, nor did I say you have no need to exist. Director Tian, ​​there is no need to change the concept. The purpose of my presenting the data is to tell you that your number of visitors does not require such a large public area at all."
