The next day, Wang Lei stayed in Pittsburgh for another day and visited some Democratic Party officials with Barbara. Sargent also introduced two producers and directors to him.
Alvin, Aditya and others successfully put the "face-to-face" data on Carnegie Mellon's server. The bandwidth problem that had been plaguing the website was finally solved, and the website could be accessed smoothly again.
Next, they will optimize and improve the website, and then promote it in schools.
The work in the town has gradually begun to move into a normal rhythm, or in other words, a little faster than the normal rhythm. Many people are worried about layoffs, fearing that they will be laid off. While people are panicked, some people are working hard , hoping to show their work ability and attitude, while some people just muddle along and start planning a retreat.
With the help of Donna, Wang Lei adjusted the work of these people and actively assigned the work to several important departments, such as the Administrative Affairs Administration, the Public Utilities Administration, the Housing and Community Development Bureau, etc.
Under the management of Donna, Alinda, Barbara and others, these departments are running very well, and are gradually taking over the work of some other departments - anyway, those people have no intention of working, and the work has long been thrown aside by them .
The daily work of the town hall has not been negatively affected in any way. They are indeed running very well. This once again proves what Wang Lei said, the town hall does not need so many people.
School has started. Normally, Wang Lei goes to school during the day from Monday to Friday, but he coordinated with the school and successfully took two half-days off every Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon, so that during normal working hours, He can also be found at town hall for a few hours, attending to daily tasks.
Normally, every night and every weekend, he would communicate with Donna, Barbara and others about work matters.
As the assistant to the mayor, Donna basically handles all matters in the town. Of course, she will report to Wang Lei on some important decisions.
"That's all the work in the town, but I've also heard some discussions. Everyone is looking forward to your actions in economic construction and community development." After talking about the day's work, Donna sorted out the documents on the table and smiled. said.
"Really?" Wang Lei smiled. He understood what Donna meant. Rather than looking forward to it, it would be better to say that she was waiting to see a joke, right?
He also heard a lot of comments, saying that he only knew how to deal with people and did not understand economic affairs. Donna was also doing everything at work, and he was a puppet.
" He also said that within a month of taking office, he completely forgot about the promises he made during the original campaign. He only wanted to keep power and budget in his hands, but forgot to lead Braddock forward.
Of course, more people are just disappointed. They feel that Wang Lei, like other politicians, simply does not have the ability and determination to lead Braddock to revival.
In fact, Wang Lei has never forgotten.
"Barbara has been working on this. We have sent information to Spielberg, 20th Century Fox, Nike, etc., and there have been some responses. I think there will be a movie about Braddock soon. Framing¡¡±
Wang Lei explained with a smile that he knew that Donna was not very optimistic about his plan.
"I hope so!" Donna smiled. She asked Barbara about the progress every day. She knew the specific situation better than Wang Lei. Although there were some replies, they were all formatted. Spielberg and others may not even see such a letter of recommendation. Who knows if anyone will be interested in Braddock.
"But, Rex, we can't just pin our hopes on a few emails and the sudden whim of a big director. We have to think of other ways." Donna couldn't help but say.
"That's very well said!" Wang Lei gave a thumbs up.
"I think so too, so I plan to hold a steel cultural festival. I will send the plan to you and Barbara tonight. You can take a look at it first, and then we will discuss how to make this cultural festival more grand. , have a greater influence." Wang Lei drew a big circle in the air with his hand. This is something he has wanted to do for a long time. Now the work of the town hall is on the right track, and a lot of preliminary work has been done. It is time It's time to serve dinner.
"Steel Culture Festival?" Donna was slightly startled, and suddenly felt like passing out. There were few people in Braddock, would anyone come to see it? Will any artists be willing to come?
"Can you tell me briefly?"
Wang Lei nodded: "Of course."
¡°I have experienced many cultural festivals, including the Campus Cultural Festival, the Three Rivers Cultural Festival in Pittsburgh, the Amish Akers Arts Festival, St. Patrick¡¯s Day¡±
¡°Their organizations are not?It¡¯s complicated, especially for small-town art festivals like Amish Acres, which don¡¯t require well-known artists. There are some folk artists, plus the residents¡¯ own creations, for centralized display and trading. If there are Some special products and entertainment projects can attract more tourists. "
"But, someone has to come, tourists, artists, businessmen, who will come?" Donna had to interrupt, she had the responsibility to remind Wang Lei to pay attention to these issues.
Wang Lei pointed at Donna and himself: "Of course, we have to find them."
"I know it will be difficult at the beginning. We don't have successful experience and no one will come, but as long as we succeed, it will be easy in the future. Just like Amish Ark, it is no better than Bra Doc is bigger and doesn't have as much character as we do, but the annual cultural festival makes it a tourist attraction that we can replicate and surpass."
Wang Lei waved his fist. He collected a lot of information about American small towns, especially small town cultural festivals. They each have their own characteristics, and Braddock also has his own characteristics.
Their advantage lies in tradition, but Wang Lei wants to create a tradition.
¡°As long as this cultural festival is completed, Braddock can become an art town. No matter when, even if the steel plant is completely closed, it will not continue to decline. There will always be people coming and making people miss it. "
"We have to be the pioneer, although it is difficult." Wang Lei said.
Donna opened her arms, raised them and put them down again: "Rex, what you said is very good, but the premise is that it can be successful, otherwise"
"No way."
Wang Lei waved his hand to interrupt Donna: "We must succeed. As long as we try our best, we will succeed."
¡°We cannot give ourselves a way out, we must do everything we can to make the cultural festival a success.¡±
"Okay!" Donna spread her hands helplessly: "Let me see your plan first, and then we can discuss it?"
Wang Lei is sometimes very talkative and sometimes very stubborn. In this regard, he is like other young people who cannot listen to advice and act arbitrarily.
This can be the decision of a winner, or it can be the root cause of failure for a loser.
However, the prospect he described is indeed fascinating. A cultural festival can not bring much revenue, but the impact is great enough to turn Braddock into a tourist town and drive the town's transportation, municipal administration, and development in education, culture and other aspects.
