Chapter 351 10. Peng Dehuai sent someone to pay for the meal

There was also a small episode when the banquet was reserved for the banquet. At that time, the industry and commerce in Lanzhou City had not yet opened for business.Larger shops and restaurants are basically still closed.The comrades from the Nosi Management Section ran for several blocks, and finally negotiated with the manager of a restaurant to contract meals for the meeting, and negotiate the price according to the table.According to the number of people attending the meeting, comrades from the management department booked dozens of tables and paid for the meals in advance. Lanzhou had just been liberated, and the manager of the restaurant did not yet understand the nature of the People's Army.In the past, Kuomintang officers would pay less or even no money when they ate in his shop.This time, although comrades from the management department repeatedly stated that our army implements the policy of fairness in buying and selling, he still did not dare to base the price on the book.After the dinner, when the management section chief Gao Kegong went to visit the manager, the accountant said, "He lost money on this meal."

Gao Kegong learned about the hotel's loss and compensation situation in detail, and immediately reported back to Yesi.After hearing this, Mr. Peng immediately said: "I will make up for the loss as much as I have lost, and I will also make a little profit for them." After emphasizing the importance of urban policies, President Peng also quoted central documents and said to Gao Kegong, Wang Shuanzhu and others: "Policies and strategies are our magic weapons!" Following Mr. Peng's instructions, Gao Kegong took the cash, went to the restaurant again, and explained his intention to the manager.The manager was so amazed that he couldn't believe his ears.

When Gao Kegong handed over the white silver coins to his hand, he was so moved that tears almost flowed out.After a while, I said: "I have lived forty or fifty years old, and I have been in business for more than ten years. I have never seen such a good army. You People's Liberation Army is really fair in business, and you will do what you say." The manager of this restaurant knew about our army's policy, so he took the money-replenishment news as news, and spread the word to everyone.Through this incident, he did the most practical and vivid propaganda work for our army on the nature of our army and our party's policies.As a result, restaurants, large and small, in Lanzhou City will soon start operating.
