"Xiao Rou, Xu Shaojie and Chen Mei are both the best among young people. I hope they will become friends and they will definitely become friends. Liu Hong was not a good person, but unfortunately, Liu Hong didn't understand what things can be done and what things can't be done. But Liu Hong has a good father. Now, I really want to meet Xu Shaojie."

Tang Wenjun showed a smiling face. When he talked about Liu Hong, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Tang Wanrou understood the meaning of his father's action. Liu Hong had been knocked into the bottom of his father's eyes.

After October, things in Yudu District became even more tense. Tobacco leaf purchases entered their peak period, and the collection of agricultural tax also began to attack on a large scale. Of course, there would be problems of one kind or another in the middle. Most of them were handled by Zhang Shikui himself. Xu Shaojie rarely asked about specific matters. As time went by, the work began to gradually relax. By late October, most of the two major tasks had been completed.

The role of cement plants began to emerge. The cement produced was in short supply, especially the five districts and towns in Nanmen. They were very welcome to Yudu Cement Factory's approach. They saved a lot of energy and the price of cement was cheaper. Therefore, most of the cement shipped to the districts and towns were sold out in a very short time. Faced with such a situation, Zhang Shikui, Tian Lixin, Zhao Deli and Song Tao's views did not require large-scale publicity. There was no inventory of cement in the factory and there was no need for publicity. When the secretary's office meeting was held, Tian Lixin first put forward such opinions.

The status of the cement factory in Yudu District Office is completely different. The main reason is that it involves the treatment of every cadre and staff of the district office. In the month of profit, the district committee held a meeting and decided to give each of the cadres and staff of the district office a bonus of 100 yuan. Everyone understands that the prosperity of the cement factory is closely related to its own interests. Therefore, when studying the matters of the cement factory, the team members were still very concerned.

Zhang Shikui agreed with Tian Lixin's opinion. Although Yudu Cement Factory is not very famous now, there is no inventory of cement, which can be considered in short supply and does not require too much money to promote it.

Xu Shaojie has different ideas and must not have the idea of ​​being content with a small wealth. However, he cannot say such words. After all, everyone is considering the cement factory.

"Everyone thinks that the cement factory is in a good situation now, so we don't increase the publicity for the time being. Everyone's considerations are reasonable. However, we have to prepare for the future. The market competition is very fierce now. Some people say that if you have good wine, you are afraid of deep alleys. When the cement factory really has sales difficulties, you will promote it again. The effect may not be good. Now, the cement factory has good benefits, so we will add icing on the cake to make the cement factory better. Taking advantage of this kind of wind to quickly gain popularity. I have considered large-scale publicity, such as advertising on TV stations, and other methods. We can't afford that much money. The cement factory has not been produced for a long time, so we can only think of other solutions. I have a consideration. The time is right now and the climate is appropriate."

When Xu Shaojie said this, the actual meaning was to promote the cement factory. Everyone would not object. What Xu Shaojie said makes sense. When it is really difficult, he can't afford to promote it.

"We jointly held a basketball game with the Municipal Sports Committee, the name is the Yudu Cup Basketball Tournament. Both municipal units and districts and towns can form teams to register. I have inquired and the funds required to hold such a game will not exceed 10,000 yuan. I think we can promote our Yudu cement and greenhouse vegetables through such a basketball game. The effect is much better than other publicity. The game was held in Huai'an City and there are more people watching it. It will have a good effect on our publicity."

Huang Guangming nodded repeatedly. Xu Shaojie's idea was really great. Cement and vegetables are the main targets of publicity, and the general public, especially greenhouse vegetables, will soon start to come out on a large scale. It is just right to choose to promote it at this time. Moreover, people like to watch basketball games, so this publicity effect is better than advertising on TV.

"I fully agree with Secretary Xu's opinion. This kind of publicity will achieve unexpected results. We can ask for a speech to promote our cement factory and greenhouse vegetables at the opening and closing ceremonies. At the same time, we can also make promotional slogans, which will be pulled up in key places in Huai'an City. With the help of basketball games, it will not cost much, but it can maximize the popularity of Yudu District. I believe that after such a basketball game, all counties and cities in Huaiyang City will know our Yudu District, our cement factory and vegetable greenhouses."

Zhang Shikui immediately agreed, and the matter was settled, and Huang Guangming was responsible for the specific coordination work and Tian Lixin assisted, because Huang Guangming and people from municipal units were very familiar with each other.

Xu Shaojie made a request that the cement factory must form a basketball team to participate in the competition, with one team for men and women. One day later, Zhao Deli found Xu Shaojie with a bitter face. The cement factory really couldn't pull out the men's basketball team, and the women's team could do it. Many of them were mud-legged. They could run with the ball, but there was no way to run with the ball. Xu Shaojie went to the cement factory to see that the cement factory already had a simple basketball court, and some selected workers were practicing. The process was terrible. Xu Shaojie had no choice but to tell Zhao Deli to spend some money and find someone to play in a district-level unit, which was said to be from the cement factory. This trick worked very well. A men's basketball team was quickly formed and looked decent.

Huang Guangming and Tian Lixin soon contacted the Municipal Sports Committee, and then issued a notice, restrictions on the participating teams, etc., all of which were responsible for the Sports Committee. The official competition started on November 10, and the men's and women's teams of Yudu Cement Factory played the opening match. After receiving the news, everyone became nervous. This was a competition in the city, not a casual play in the district and town. Huang Guangming immediately went to the Huaiyang Municipal Sports Committee and found an old classmate, Huaiyang City's leading basketball coach, and began to train the Yudu District basketball team. Everyone's main energy was put on the men's team. Relatively speaking, the women's team's training was less.

In less than 20 days, it is obviously impossible to make a qualitative leap. It can only be done with some technical and tactical training. However, the coaches are different, the effect is different. The men's basketball team of Yudu Cement Factory first trained in the district and then pulled them to the city for training. Although it was hard, the players were all full of energy. Relatively speaking, the women's team was much colder. Most of the players were employees of the cement factory and it was impossible to be completely out of business. Besides, everyone does not attach much importance to the women's team's game. For this reason, Yu Zhihong, the captain of the women's basketball team, complained in front of Xu Shaojie that the district committee favored boys over girls.

The day before the opening ceremony, all the publicity slogans were in place. At this moment, the cement factory and vegetable greenhouse in Yudu District have already gained a certain reputation. Many citizens know that there is a cement factory and vegetable greenhouse in Yudu District, Huai'an City. This time, a basketball game was sponsored.

Xu Shaojie took a try-and-see attitude and invited Ding Yuan, Secretary of the Huaiyang Municipal Party Committee, to attend the opening ceremony. He was just a try. A basketball game was really insignificant. The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was so busy, so it was really difficult to participate. Xu Shaojie's luck was not so good. Secretary Ding Yuan was not in the municipal party committee. However, Xu Shaojie found Secretary-General Liao Hongyun and explained his purpose. Secretary-General Liao agreed to tell that the leaders in charge of the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government attended the opening ceremony, but the main leaders did not attend because the Sports Committee invited him.

In the evening, Xu Shaojie, who was having dinner with the team members, received a call from Secretary Ding Yuan. Secretary Ding Yuan was about to participate in the opening ceremony of the basketball game. Xu Shaojie was overjoyed and immediately fed the news to the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. He understood that if he did not tell Secretary Zhao Deling in time, he would have made a mistake.

Sure enough, after verifying the accuracy of the news, the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee immediately changed its strategy. Zhao Deling and Xu Yunfei all attended the opening ceremony, and the person who presided over the opening ceremony also became Xu Yunfei.

The opening ceremony began at 7 o'clock in the evening and was held at the Huai'an City Lighting Stadium. The ceremony was very simple. The leaders of the Huai'an Municipal Party Committee spoke, representatives of Yudu District spoke, athlete representatives and referee representatives spoke, and finally the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ding Yuan announced the start of the game. The arrangement of the two games of the opening game was also very interesting. The first game was a men's basketball game, the Yudu Cement Factory team vs. the Municipal Party Committee organs team, the second game was a women's basketball game, and the Yudu Cement Factory team vs. the Municipal Government organs team.

The lighting stadium is open-air, and the stadium can accommodate about 3,000 people. Before the opening ceremony, the stadium was already in a mess. Huai'an City has not held such a game for a long time. Everyone wants to come and see the excitement. In addition, the publicity in Yudu District in the previous period was still done well.

Before the opening ceremony, Ding Yuan briefly asked Xu Shaojie about the purpose of the competition. In fact, Ding Yuan already knew about it. This question was nothing more than reminding other leaders to help promote.

At the opening ceremony, the athletes entered the court and walked directly to the middle of the court. A passage was finally squeezed out in the middle of the crowd. There were 40 teams in total, including 32 men's basketball teams and 8 women's basketball teams. The awards were set up well. The top three men's basketball awards were 2,000 yuan, 1,500 yuan and 1,000 yuan respectively. The top two women's basketball awards were 1,500 yuan and 1,000 yuan respectively.

The speech of Zhao Deling, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was very simple, but in just 5 minutes. Next, Zhang Shikui spoke on behalf of Yudu District, with the content being simpler, mainly promoting Yudu Cement Factory and vegetable greenhouse. In less than 5 minutes, after the athlete representatives and referee representatives spoke, the competition officially began. The audience was very satisfied with the opening ceremony.

The first men's basketball game was extremely fierce. Both sides played tactics, and there were many wonderful cooperation. The climaxes came one after another. The audience cheered and applauded, and cheered for the two teams at the same time. The 60-person cheerleading team organized by Yudu District seemed to be weak at this moment, so they simply stopped calling for cheering.

Ding Yuan, Zhao Deling, Xu Yunfei and others were all excited to watch. They rarely saw such a game. At the end of the game, Xu Shaojie couldn't help but stand up. Of course, he was cheering for Yudu Cement Factory, but Zhao Deling was next to him, so he couldn't cheer. In the final result, the cement factory team narrowly won with two points.

When the two teams left the court, warm applause rang out around them. Many people thought that the cement factory team would give way to the municipal party committee team. Who knew that both sides were fighting for their lives on the court, no matter who the opponent was, everyone wanted to watch it. It was just such a game. Xu Shaojie looked at Zhao Deling with guilt. Zhao Deli smiled and was still trying to applaud. Xu Shaojie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the women's group competition began, the atmosphere became more lively and reached its climax, which Xu Shaojie did not expect.

At the beginning of the game, when the first shot was shot, the female players standing under the basket were not thinking about grabbing the ball, but you hugged me and I hugged you, not allowing the opponent to grab the rebound. The crowd watching the game laughed. Even Ding Yuan and others couldn't help laughing. The referee had no choice but to tell everyone that they were not allowed to hug people, otherwise they would be fouls. However, what the referee said was useless. Although the hugging movements under the basket were gone, the blocking movements were similar to hugging people. The referee really had no choice but to relax the standards, otherwise the game would not be able to continue.

The strength of the cement factory team is obviously not as good as the representative team of the municipal government. There are too many actions to hold people. Xu Shaojie blushed and felt a little embarrassed. The women's team did not train much. Xu Shaojie didn't expect to come here to make a fool of himself. Later, the actions of holding people are getting more and more, and the level of the municipal government team is not much higher. The referee finally couldn't help but blew a few fouls, and the scene was slightly better.

Ding Yuan couldn't help it and spoke to Xu Shaojie through Zhao Deling.

"Xiao Xu, is the cement factory team playing basketball or wrestling?"

Xu Shaojie really couldn't say anything. The audience watching the game was a little laughing and was out of breath. However, this was not the most classic. A main player of the cement factory team had fouled five times and was sent off. After that, the substitute player came on the court. After Xu Shaojie saw it, he was so amused that it was Yu Zhihong.

The game is almost over, and the scores of both sides are not high. At this moment, a classic scene has appeared. Yu Zhihong finally received the ball. Perhaps he was too excited. Yu Zhihong rushed to the front court with the ball in his arms, resolutely, turning a deaf ear to the referee's rapid whistle. The audience around him was already laughing so hard that they didn't know what to do.

Ding Yuan laughed out of tears and was about to speak to Xu Shaojie. Seeing Xu Shaojie's flushed face and embarrassing expression, he pointed at Xu Shaojie, but did not say it out. Xu Shaojie quickly explained.

"This women's basketball is the first in friendship, the second in entertainment, and the third in competition."
