Chapter 54: Preparing for the Celebration

  The successful completion of the Diamond Building allowed Maca Technology to quickly shift its focus to preparing for the completion ceremony, after all, this will be the most grand event since Maca Technology was founded and also the best opportunity for Maca Technology to officially take center stage.

  For Duan Bingyi, preparing for such a completion ceremony is time-consuming and difficult, but it won't put too much pressure on him. In the past in Tianzhou County, Duan Bingyi had already prepared for the famous Litchi Festival in Tianzhou County as the director of the preparatory committee office many times, and he has quite rich experience in preparing for large-scale celebrations.

  Duan Bingyi took over Macak Tech in July and spent a month familiarizing himself with the company's structure and business, putting everything in order. When he learned that the company's research base, Diamond Tower, would be completed before National Day and a grand celebration would be held on that day, he began preparing for the celebration.

  He first found the contact information of all provincial distributors under Makka Biotechnology, and sent them formal invitations, hoping they could arrive in Haicheng on National Day to attend the completion ceremony of Makka Technology's R&D base. In addition, suppliers and raw material suppliers who had trade relations with Makka Technology also received formal invitations from Makka Technology and will appear at the celebration scene that day.

  In addition, he also urged Duan Lei to carefully list the partners who had a close relationship with Ma Ka Technology and send out invitations. He also asked him to include the leaders and teachers of Haidian in the scope of distinguished guests and invite them. Under his father's guidance, Duan Lei finally understood more about human relationships and knew that they were all accumulated bit by bit.

  Then, Zhang Jiu, Xiong Yiping and Zheng Kaizhong, who were quite taken care of by Haida University, all received formal invitations from Duan Lei. Even the leaders of the Agricultural College and Haida University, whom Duan Lei was not very familiar with, also received invitations. Moreover, in order to make the school leaders pay attention to Makatech, Duan Lei also invited Gu Yuliang to come forward to persuade them, hoping that all the leaders would attend, which would add a bit of momentum to the celebration.

  In fact, even if Duan Lei didn't invite Gu Yu Liang as a lobbyist, the leaders of Haida would not have ignored the invitation from MaKa Technology, after all, MaKa Technology is one of the best examples of entrepreneurial development among Haida University students in recent years.

  The company has just been established for half a year, and according to the data obtained from the tax department, the business volume of Makabiotech has already exceeded 100 million yuan. It is expected that this year's profit can reach 80 million yuan, which is an impressive achievement for a new company with less than 100 employees. In addition, the pollution control project has entered the final stage of evaluation in the Haicheng Science and Technology Progress Award, and it is already a certainty to win the award and be recommended by Haicheng to participate in the national Science and Technology Progress Award evaluation.

  For the leaders of Haitian University, the development and growth of Makatech is certainly very important, but its potential for development is even more impressive to them. In their eyes, Makatech has enormous potential, perhaps it will become a name card for Haitian University.

  Over the years, Suiyuan University and Imperial Capital University have been at the forefront of student entrepreneurship and industry-university-research integration, with extremely high evaluations from both academia and society for their achievements in this regard.

  And Haida, as the third-ranked comprehensive university in China, although it is not far from the top two in terms of academic and team building, has never had a large enterprise that can be taken out. Now, the sudden emergence of Makatech makes the leaders of Haida feel very satisfied, and naturally they will look at Makatech with different eyes.

  Du Guoliang told him that President An Guotao would push away his own academic forum abroad and attend the celebration of Diamond Building, Duan Lei was so surprised that his chin almost fell off. At first, Duan Lei did not expect President An Guotao to attend the completion ceremony of Diamond Building, and he was already very satisfied with inviting Vice President Peng Zheng. After all, as an academician of the Academy of Sciences and a deputy ministerial official, An Guotao had countless things to deal with every day, and his time at Haida was scarce. Now that he heard that An Guotao pushed away some activities to attend the ceremony of Diamond Building, how could Duan Lei not feel excited?

  With An Guotao attending, I'm afraid the leaders of Haida who think they are qualified will also come uninvited. It seems that more manpower and resources need to be invested in reception.

  "Boss, that's the situation. You'll be in charge of liaison between the company and school, responsible for receiving the school leaders!" Upon learning that Principal An Guotao would attend, Duan Wei hastily found Dashan and handed over the reception task to him.

  Originally, Duan Yue wanted to hand over the entire celebration activity to some etiquette companies, so that he could save a lot of trouble, even if it meant spending more money. However, Duan Bingyi strongly disagreed, believing that such an event was a great opportunity to train employees' abilities and increase company cohesion, and outsourcing it to external etiquette companies would lose its meaning.

  So, Duan Yue still decided to follow his father's idea and make full use of his own resources and manpower to hold the celebration well.

  In order not to cause confusion in the reception of guests on the day of celebration, Duan Lei and Duan Bingyi carefully divided the guests into several parts, and assigned some staff members to be responsible for certain guests, ensuring that they were followed up throughout the entire process without leaving any blind spots. As a result, the liaison person for the guests from Haida naturally fell on Dashan's shoulders, who had to lead Lui'er, Zhao Lin, Du Wenwu and several other classmates to receive the guests from Haida.

  "No problem!" Da Shan nodded, indicating he understood.

  A few days ago, Lishi Group has reached a cooperation agreement with Makabiotech, and Lishi Group is responsible for the promotion and sales of pollution-free Chinese fir in ten provinces and cities in Northeast China. To say that Lishi Group has become the largest partner of Makabiotech. From the current data, just cooperating with Makabiotech on the pollution-free Chinese fir project can bring hundreds of millions of yuan in pure profit to Lishi Group.

  As the first heir of the Li Group, Dashan had no psychological resistance to serving as a liaison for Makka Technology's celebration. Both publicly and privately, he felt it was his responsibility.

  "These few days I may be a bit slower, if Uncle comes from Ice City, please forgive me for not being hospitable enough!" Seeing Dashan take over the task of contacting people, Duan Lei naturally felt much more at ease, after all, there were too few reliable people in Maca Technology now.

  "It's okay, after this busy period, my dad still wants to talk to you and Uncle Duan. Maybe there are more areas for cooperation between the two companies." Dashan nodded in understanding, pointing out that his father Li Ming had personally led a team to Haicheng this time mainly for this purpose.

  Since then, the decoration of Diamond Building, the production of XinXin Metal, and the cooperation projects between MaKa Metal and HaiGang have gradually emerged, making DaShan understand that MaKa Technology is not a company that only focuses on biotechnology. It has not only diversified ambitions but also diversified strengths, which makes DaShan conceive the idea of establishing a deeper cooperative relationship between Li's Group and MaKa Technology.

  So he tried every means to persuade his father to lead a delegation to Haicheng, in order to seek cooperation opportunities with Makah Technology.

  "Ok! No problem!" Having understood Dashan's mind, Duan Lei naturally wouldn't have any different opinions.

  Ding Lei acquired a large number of new technologies, but with the current strength of Dang Lei and Makatech, it is unrealistic to develop all these technologies. Therefore, Dang Lei naturally hopes to find some good partners to jointly develop these advanced technologies and accelerate development. The Li Group is a good partner, if conditions permit, both parties can expand their cooperation to achieve a win-win situation.

  Dashi's ability is clear, and he is also quite familiar with many school leaders. Letting him take charge of this specific task makes Dashi feel more at ease. Having settled the issue with the school leaders, another large group among the guests are the pollution control equipment dealers and the company's raw material suppliers. For this aspect, Dashi has also thought of a suitable person in charge, namely He Yuanzheng.

  "Second brother, put down your work for the next few days and come help me?" In Huayuan Gardening, Duan Yue explained the situation to He Yuanzheng and then extended an invitation.

  "This is no problem!" He Yuanzheng didn't even consider it and directly nodded in agreement.

  Since becoming the sales agent for Zhili in the three eastern provinces, He Yuanzheng had earned as much money in just half a year as he normally would in two or three years. This made him very grateful to Duan Lei. During this time, He Yuanzheng had been thinking about doing something to express his gratitude, but hadn't found an opportunity yet. Now that Duan Lei asked him to be the liaison person for the sales agents and take charge of receiving guests from all over the country who came to attend the completion ceremony of the Diamond Building, He Yuanzheng didn't hesitate at all and agreed right away.

  Compared to the tens of millions in profits that Zhiwu Rong will bring himself every year, taking out a few days to help Duan Lei with some things is nothing. Moreover, human desires are always expanding, having gained not a small advantage from Zhiwu Rong, He Yuanzheng hopes to establish a better cooperative relationship with Duan Lei and obtain more new products and technologies from Makabiology.

  "We've already drafted the specific charter, tomorrow second brother you go to the company to attend the final mobilization meeting, starting from 30th there will be guests arriving in Haicheng one after another, just bear with it a bit." Today is already the 27th, not much time left for Makatech and Duan Lei.

  "Alright, I'll leave this matter to Second Brother, don't worry!" He Yuanzheng naturally patted his chest and agreed.

  However, compared to He Yuanxiang's age and experience, serving as the host of such a reception would not cause him too much trouble.

  "What's the sales situation of Zhilv like recently? How's the customer feedback?" Duan Lei casually asked about the situation of Zhilv while handling the reception for the celebration.

  "Sales have also been steadily increasing, with daily shipments not being small, and customer feedback has been very satisfactory." As soon as the business of pollution control equipment is mentioned, He Yuanzheng's face breaks into a smile, continuing: "However, some old customers have reflected that the company's products are relatively single, if we can have more diverse product series it would be even better."

  To say, the customer's demand is also rising, previously, the purification of pollutants was just enough to make many customers satisfied. However, as time went by, customers became increasingly dissatisfied with the purification of pollutants because it was too monotonous and could not meet more aesthetic needs.

  "This issue has also been studied by the company and a certain solution has been found!" Duan Lei nodded and said: "After the Diamond Building is put into use, we will immediately start researching more new plant species that can absorb pollutants and beautify the environment to maintain the company's leading position in this field."

  The pollution-absorbing plant is just a product that Duan Yue has cultivated by modifying the characteristics of the swallowing grass, and it is considered to be one of the lower-end products in the Maca civilization. From some information provided by Dingdang, Duan Yue has already found many new plant species that are suitable for the Earth's climate and environment, and can start researching once the Diamond Tower is put into use.

  In Duanyuan's plan, Maca Biotechnology will not only maintain its leading position in the field of pollution-tolerant plants in the future, but also develop more ornamental plants, cash crops and crops, using the advanced technology of Maca civilization to start a revolution in global agriculture.

  …………?

  After solving the problem of receiving school leaders and distributors, Duan Lei felt that the burden on his body was slightly lighter, because only in this way could he and Duan Bingyi put more energy into arranging to receive government leaders and news media.

  Yesterday when returning to the municipal party committee compound for dinner, Duan Lei made a request to Tang Xiangjun to attend the completion ceremony, and as expected, Tang Xiangjun agreed.

  The vice mayor, who is also the deputy head of the municipal government, has agreed to attend the completion ceremony of a small enterprise's research building on National Day, which in itself is not a trivial matter. Given the background of the Tang family and the rising momentum of Tang Xiangjun, his actions will be imbued with even more meaning. As can be expected, the number and level of government officials and media personnel who follow Tang Xiangjun to the ceremony that day will not be small, so Duan Lei and Duan Bingyi must be extremely careful in their treatment.

  If it were just Duan Lei alone, facing such a complex situation, he would definitely feel at a loss and could only leave things to the outsourced celebration company. However, with Duan Bingyi, an old hand with many years of experience by his side, Duan Lei naturally felt much more at ease, only needing to follow Duan Bingyi's instructions and proceed step by step. At this time, Duan Lei couldn't help but think of the old saying, "A family with an elder is like having a treasure."

  The company is going to hold such a grand celebration, and Duan Lei naturally cannot forget his grandparents who are still at home. He and his father made a special phone call back, asking his uncle and aunt to bring the two elderly people, taking a plane from Yongcheng directly to Haicheng, wanting to let the two elderly people see this lively scene.

  …………?

  Although the time was a bit tight, under the leadership of Duan Bingyi, everything went smoothly. All partners who had trade relations with Makatech received invitations and confirmed their attendance at the ceremony. Other guests also basically confirmed their schedules under the meticulous attention of each person in charge, making the entire preparation work for the celebration exceptionally smooth.

  The reception of personnel is a major event, and another focus of the Diamond Tower completion ceremony is the layout of the celebration venue. Since the day of the completion of the Diamond Tower, Duan Bingyi has been stationed at the Maca Base, personally responsible for the layout work of the venue.

  First, the engineering vehicles of Haitian Construction Company took away all the construction waste and remaining building materials, and then leveled the ground. Without having time to lay cement or plant grass, Duan Bingyi rented a large number of red carpets from the celebration company, and in just half a day, the Maca base was transformed into a sea of red. In addition, various rented chairs, audio equipment, and firework launchers were also arriving one after another, making people feel that the celebration activities could be held at any time.

  Unlike many celebration events that are held during the day, this time in order to fully showcase the wonders of Diamond Tower, Duan Lei specially arranged for the completion ceremony to be held at 9 pm. This made it even more difficult for the preparation of the celebration event, but it was precisely under such circumstances that Duan Bingyi's abilities were brought into full play.

  Under the leadership of Duan Bingyi, every task of the celebration ceremony is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the personnel and materials needed are also arriving at the venue smoothly under sufficient funding. It has to be said that the phrase "money can make ghosts grind" is indeed very reasonable. If it weren't for the fact that Makah Technology had ample funds on its accounts, plus the support of Shanghai Dahua Construction with a lot of resources, it would really not be an easy task to prepare such a large-scale celebration in just a few days.

  Time was ticking away, and as the day of the celebration approached, Duàn Lěi's excitement grew more and more evident. After all, this would be a memorable moment for him and MaKa Technology.

  Especially on the morning of the 30th, Grandpa and Grandma arrived in Haicheng accompanied by Uncle and Aunt, and some businessmen from other places also appeared at the celebration venue one after another, making Duan Lei feel a sense of being on the verge of something.

  However, a phone call from the municipal party committee office suddenly threw Macca Technology into chaos, and they were somewhat caught off guard.
