In the early 70s of the last century, after receiving a banquet for foreign guests, Shanghai Hengshan Hotel suddenly found that a "Kowloon Cup" was missing!
That night, the chief duty of the Hengshan Club was a member of the Standing Committee named Xue Qingjun, who heard that the "Nine Dragon Cup" had lost one, so he immediately jumped up in fright and ran to the restaurant department with a smoke. You know, what is lost is not a generic thing, it is a Kowloon cup, which is a national treasure-level drinking utensils that everyone knows and has used.
Xue Qingjun hit the security section one by one, and two police officers immediately came, and Liu Jincheng, the chief of the security section, and Huang Yeguang, the deputy director who presided over the daily work of the Hengshan Club, rushed to the news after hearing the news. They immediately decided to crack down on the service staff first, and at the same time conduct a carpet search of the restaurant. But the search lasted for more than half an hour, but the result was nothing, and the suspicion of the service personnel was also ruled out one by one.
So what did the Kowloon Cup go?If it's not an insider, who could it be?If it is stolen by someone with ulterior motives, how can it be traced?The club is not entertaining ordinary people, and now there are no clues at all, how to find the whereabouts of the Kowloon Cup?
Just when everyone was busy with the "loss of the Kowloon Cup", and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, they suddenly received an urgent notice: **The prime minister is coming to Hengshan Club!
**After learning about the matter, the two thick eyebrows shrugged up slightly, and the relevant departments finally found out the truth about the theft of the "Kowloon Cup" under his personal guidance, and skillfully recovered the Kowloon Cup safely.
So, how did the Kowloon Cup mysteriously disappear?Who is the thief?**How did you get a little bit of wisdom and cleverly take back the Kowloon Cup?
This "Kowloon Cup" is a very interesting object. According to legend, in order to please the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and win appreciation, a county commander in the Ming Dynasty ordered the "Imperial Kiln Factory" to produce the "Nine Dragon Cup" within half a year to present it to the emperor. The entire body of this "Nine Dragons Cup" is decorated with nine dragons, one dragon head extends to the bottom of the cup, the tail extends out of the cup and bends into the cup handle, and the other eight dragons form four pairs, each with a head up and a head down. The four dragons, with their heads facing up, reach into the mouth of the cup and take on the posture of drinking water.
Interestingly, when the cup is full, it passes through the inverted U-shaped tube inside the cup, and the water in the cup will spew out from the mouths of the four dragons with their heads down, so the cup will never be filled. Therefore, the "Kowloon Cup" is also known as the "Kowloon Fair Cup", which warns people that "those who are content have water, and those who are greedy have water".
But the mystery of the Kowloon Cup is far more than that, and what attracts everyone is that after the wine glass is filled with wine, you will see nine vivid golden dragons tumbling in the cup. "Kowloon Cup" has become a rare treasure with its complex craftsmanship and shocking mystery.
And the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty also got the "Nine Dragon Cup". Kangxi loved the "Nine Dragon Cup" very much, and even let him be buried in the mausoleum after his death. In 1945, the tomb robbers of the Kangxi Emperor's Mausoleum were excavated, the scene was a mess, the treasures were lost, and the "Nine Dragon Cup" was rediscovered, but it was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, a master in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province had witnessed this peerless treasure, and he was shocked by the "Nine Dragon Cup" and decided to try to make it. But how can it be so easy to replicate a "national treasure"?Now, not only can the original "Watian Mandarin Duck Jade" be found anymore, but even the production method has been lost early.
After careful thinking, he found that the jade used in the cup body is similar to the jade porcelain of the Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty, so can he use precision ceramics instead of Ru kiln jade porcelain, and fire a cup body similar to the jade porcelain, and the shape of the Jiulong cup?With a few ideas, the master immediately set to work.
After many years of conception and processing, countless attempts and production, and decades of painstaking efforts, the "Kowloon Cup" finally came out successfully in 1958. It was originally exciting news, but due to various factors, his feat did not attract everyone's attention. Fortunately, after learning the news, the Communication Office of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee was very shocked, and immediately sent people to Jingdezhen to find the master, and ordered a batch of "Nine Dragon Cups" from him.
Unfortunately, after handing over the 36 "Nine Dragon Cups", the master suffered a car accident and passed away. The production process was lost again, and these 36 "Kowloon Cups" have really become peerless treasures.
Just talking about how precious the "Kowloon Cup" is, everyone may not have an idea. However, among the treasures lost in China, the Nine Dragon Cup and Cixi's Night Pearl, "Lanting Collection Preface", "Yongle Grand Canon", Dayu Jiuding, etc., are listed as top national treasures, which are invaluable and cannot be exchanged. Although the existing "Kowloon Cup" is not the original, as a continuation of the original, and the process technology that cannot be reproduced, it is more valuable.
On March 25, 1971, it was an extraordinary day, and the Shanghai Hengshan Club was in full swing preparing for a dinner, this time entertaining a working group of 27 people from Romania. The purpose of their visit was to prepare for the Romanian head of state's visit to China in the near future, and to inspect the leaders' clothing, food, housing, and transportation in advance.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the dinner started on time, and the sumptuous dishes dazzled the guests, and after tasting, they were full of fragrance, so that they forgot to return, and the foreign guests were full of praise for it. But these exquisite dishes are far less shocking than the national treasure "Kowloon Cup".
The "Kowloon Cup" was originally scheduled to entertain the Romanian leader, but for the sake of diplomacy between the two countries, we showed full sincerity and used the "national treasure" to entertain distinguished guests. However, considering the cultural differences of the country, it is possible that what we applaud will be taboo by others, so we decided to let these 27 staff members try the "Kowloon Cup" first.
At first glance, they were attracted by the delicate shape, and the wine glass was snow-white and crystal clear. After pouring the wine, nine golden dragons appeared on the wall and bottom of the cup, and there was a big dragon with gold beads in its mouth, shining brightly. With the shaking of the wine glass, several golden dragons swam in the cup vividly, and the golden bead also rotated in the dragon's mouth, and everyone present was amazed.
When a guest tried to pour the wine into the bowl, the golden dragon disappeared without a trace. Then, the wine is poured into the glass, and the nine golden dragons swim on the walls and bottom of the glass. The 27 foreign guests had a lot of fun playing the "Kowloon Cup" over and over again, and they were very satisfied with today's dinner, and even amazed.
This banquet was very cheerful and relaxed, but just when everyone was happy that today's work was successfully completed, the attendant Jiang Ling found something wrong when she counted the "Kowloon Cup", she originally wanted to see if there were 36 cups, but she didn't expect that there was really one missing.
Xiao Hong, who was copying the big criticism document, was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly threw down the matter at hand and came over to take a look. Seeing that there was indeed one missing in the box, suddenly, Xiao Hong's face did not have a little blood, and he asked tremblingly: "This ......."What's going on?”
You know, what is missing is not another small object, it is a Kowloon cup, which is a national treasure that *** knows and has used. How could I lose it?
The news of the loss of the "Kowloon Cup" was like a bomb, which instantly broke the tranquility of the Hengshan Club. The staff of the club were stunned when they heard the news, and Xue Qingjun, a member of the Standing Committee, jumped on the spot in a hurry, the "national treasure" was lost, and this responsibility was really unbearable. Xue Qingjun immediately called the security department and called two policemen to investigate the staff present.
However, after a long search, nothing was found, and the thief was obviously not a member of the club, and the staff was ruled out of suspicion. The "theft" suddenly became an unsolved case.
Everyone was busy with the "loss of the Kowloon Cup", and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Coincidentally, I received another notice: ** Together with the first secretary of the Workers' Party of Vietnam Le Duan and the Workers' Party delegation, they are visiting Shanghai and are going to Heng Son Club today.
At 1:20 p.m. on March 26, ** arrived at Hengshan Club and entered the banquet hall with Li Duan. During the banquet, ** noticed the uneasy mood of the club staff, and gradually understood in his heart that the club was in trouble.
After the banquet, ** called the waiter and asked him about the situation. In the face of the *** staff, there is a "worry" about the superiors in their hearts, and it seems that they have found a "backer", without a trace of deception, and truthfully report the situation.
The *** who learned the truth attached great importance to it, and he gave an iron-clad order: 36 "Nine Dragon Cups", none of them can be missing, and the lost one must be found!
Subsequently, he immediately found the heads of the club - Huang Yeguang and Liu Jincheng. **Listening to the investigation told by the two, he thought about it carefully, and then said to everyone: "Take the 'Kowloon Cup' out of the warehouse, and check it carefully until the process of losing it, for example, will there be a problem in the banquet hall?"”
The Prime Minister's words made the two responsible persons enlightened: Yes, there is no problem with the insiders, and it is most likely the people at the banquet that night.
Yes, yes, we were negligent on this. Liu Jincheng hurriedly said.
He also instructed them, "Isn't there a video?"Call it up and take a look, maybe it will help to find out the problem. ”
After explaining everything, the ** party went to visit Malu Commune in Jiading County, a suburb.
On the club's side, in accordance with ***'s instructions, I watched the video at the time, and I really found something. A foreign guest took the "Kowloon Cup" and admired it over and over again, showing full interest, and then quickly put the "Kowloon Cup" into his briefcase while everyone was not paying attention.
Now the truth is finally revealed, and the next step is to return to the "Kowloon Cup" and quickly end this matter. But it's such a simple thing, but it stumped everyone.
It was not an ordinary person who took the "Kowloon Cup", but a foreign guest. If a foreign guest hides the "Kowloon Cup" in a place where it is inconvenient for us to search, not only will we not be able to find the cup, but we will also be charged with the crime of "arbitrary framing", which will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries and even affect the reputation of the country. Even if it is found, it will hurt the face of other countries. A room full of people feel torn between the two sides, and they really can't think of a way to do both.
In this way, we obviously found the person who took the "Kowloon Cup", but we had no way to take him, and there was no progress in the matter.
In the evening, ** and his party returned to Hengshan Club from Malu Commune, Jiading County. **Still busy with today's work, after listening to the report of the staff around him, ***, who has been thinking about the "Kowloon Cup", immediately invited Huang Yeguang to his room, ready to inquire about the progress of the "Kowloon Cup".
As soon as Huang Yeguang entered the door, he held his hand, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Comrade Huang Yeguang, hard work." ”
At that moment, Huang Yeguang actually had tears rolling in his eyes. He didn't know if his excitement was because of ***'s heart-warming condolences, or the relief after seeing the backbone, probably both.
After sorting out his mood, Huang Yeguang told Prime Minister about the process and results of today's investigation.
After learning the whole content, ** thought for a while and told Huang Yeguang: "The 'Kowloon Cup' is a valuable property of the country, and we must try to recover it." However, we have to be polite and not hurt our feelings. ”
Huang Yeguang's face was embarrassed. What the Prime Minister was talking about was exactly what they had been wrestling with all afternoon.
Knowing that they were embarrassed, he pondered it carefully and asked, "Do you have any activities scheduled for the Romanian guests tonight?"”
Huang Yeguang replied: "There is no arrangement tonight. ”
**The Prime Minister's already solemn face suddenly became joyful. Huang Yeguang was very puzzled: What good way did the prime minister think of, how could he be so happy in one sentence?
Well, tonight the Vietnamese comrades want to watch an acrobatic show, and we can invite the Romanian guests to join us**. Hearing the prime minister say this, Huang Yeguang was still puzzled, and he didn't know what method the prime minister was going to use.
** said his thoughts to Huang Yeguang: "The 'Kowloon Cup' must be very precious in the eyes of that foreign guest, and he will definitely put it in his handbag ...... not leaving”
After listening to the whole plan of Huang Yeguang, he couldn't tell the admiration in his heart, how did the prime minister think of using magic to recover the "Kowloon Cup", and he could think of a way to get the best of both worlds in such a short time. Huang Yeguang's eyes flickered as he looked at the prime minister.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the acrobatic show started on time. **Sitting with Le Duan and the leaders of the Vietnamese delegation were 27 foreign guests from Romania in the first, third and fourth rows. The acrobatic performance on the stage dazzled everyone's eyes, but it was the magic that ignited everyone the most.
The magician wore a straight black suit, held a plate covered with cloth at the end, and walked confidently and high-mindedly to the stage**. He bowed slightly to the audience, bowing slightly, and saluting gracefully. Then he lifted the cloth on the plate in a chic manner, and three "Nine Dragon Cups" appeared in front of the public. Because of the distance, the audience below did not see the clues of the three cups, only *** person knew best that these three were fake "Nine Dragon Cups".
The performance continued, and the magician shouted to everyone: "I just want the gun to go off, and I can fly to ** if I want the cup to fly to **." If you don't believe me, please take a look. ”
I saw the magician take out the prop pistol, and then play with it leisurely, everyone waited intently for his next move. "Smack", the sound of the pistol startled everyone, and then what was even more surprising was that in front of everyone's eyes, the three cups on the plate were really missing one.
When the audience was puzzled, the magician stepped down from the stage, because he had the next task, which was to find the "Kowloon Cup" that had just disappeared. The magician walked towards the target in the fourth row with a firm step, and then said, "The 'Kowloon Cup' that was knocked away is in this VIP's handbag." Please open your handbag. ”
That's right, this person is the one who took the "Kowloon Cup" at the banquet at that time. The foreign guest immediately understood what was going on, although he didn't want to take it out, but he had no choice but to admit defeat. So he opened his handbag, pretended to rummage through it, and then pretended to be surprised and took out the "Kowloon Cup".
The people present were all lamenting the mystery of the magic, and the applause rang out instantly, and it took a long time to subside. Even Le Duan, the first secretary of Vietnam, gave a thumbs up and praised ***: "Amazing, amazing." ”
Yes, this is really a great magic trick, the magician on the stage used super high technology to make the whole performance process seamless, hide from all the spectators, and let us successfully recover the "Kowloon Cup". And ***, the real "magician", he used accurate judgment and smart mind to compile a grand stage, so that everyone could be in this performance and finally reap success. That's amazing!
After a day and a night, the "Kowloon Cup" was finally found and kept. The "National Treasure" has finally said goodbye to its adventures.
** Cleverly save the "national treasure" and easily resolve the trouble. There seems to be magic in him, and as long as he is there, any problem will not be a problem. ** Use his composure, careful analysis, and decisive and firm response to solve trouble after trouble.
In June 1950, the Korean War broke out. In August, ** decided to send the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to "resist US aggression and aid Korea." In October, due to the situation on the battlefield, it was necessary to combine the 44th Army and the 45th Army into a single team. Both teams are "heroic teams" who fought bravely and achieved great achievements, and everyone wanted to keep their team names. The teams have been merged, but the number of the new troops has been debated, and both teams are unwilling to give in to this
** Find the commanders of the two armies, after listening to their respective statements, think deeply, and calmly say: "What you said is very reasonable, whether it is the 44th Army or the 45th Army, they were all heroic units in the past, and I think the numbers of the two armies can be retained." ”
After hearing this, the two army commanders were even more confused: both are keptWhat does this mean?
The fast-talking Commander Ding asked rhetorically, "How is this possible." ”
Hearty laughed and said, "What's impossible?"I think it can be like this, let's use the 44th Army and the 45th Army to choose one of each to form a new number, isn't it that the number of the two armies has been retained!”
The people present suddenly realized and applauded *** from the bottom of their hearts, and a few simple words resolved the disputes for many days, which is really high. In this way, the new army, the 54th Army, was officially successfully formed.
The author was impressed by the wisdom of dealing with the problem in three words, and couldn't help but sigh: How did the brain turn so fast!Why is every sentence so just right!Use the simplest words, say the most essential problems, and then solve them most efficiently.
There are countless stories of the prime minister who has wittily dealt with trouble. But the most profound impact on the author is the "shipwreck" on May 1, 1963, which makes the author see that ** calmly deal with all problems, not only because of wisdom, but also because he is good at thinking deeply, working cautiously, and grasping the details.
In the waters southwest of Jeju Island in South Korea, a 10,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship "Yuejin" bound for Japan from China unfortunately sank. The news reached the prime minister, and he immediately organized personnel and deployed: first, send ** to rescue immediately;2. Set up an investigation team to rush to the accident site to conduct a close investigation and find out the cause of the accident.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under the instructions of ***. Subsequently, according to the surviving personnel, the "Leap Forward" was hit by 3 torpedoes and wrecked.
** Based on these remarks, it can be inferred that if the torpedo was fired from a submarine, then the incident must have been committed by US imperialism, because neither Taiwan nor South Korea has submarines;If it came from a speedboat, it was possible that the United States was complicit with Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the "Yuejin" encountered natural disasters and other circumstances. But speculation is not the truth of the matter, ** said that it is still necessary to focus on the facts, give everyone the most authentic answer, and instruct the relevant personnel: "After the situation is clarified, a statement will be issued." ”
After careful research and analysis by on-site investigators, it was concluded that the sinking of the "Yuejin" was very likely to have touched the reef. ** agreed with this conclusion, but he was still very cautious and decided to rush to the accident site himself to make a final determination.
The *** who arrived at the front line held an intelligence briefing meeting non-stop. However, none of the leading cadres present at the meeting were "top leaders," and most of those present at the meeting were deputy commanders and deputy political commissars. This situation has attracted the attention of the first person, and he put forward a request: for major issues, the main leaders should not only go to the front line, but also be good at grasping the key issues and grasping them to the end. This incident also made him realize that the bureaucracy of the leading organs is serious.
The *** who inspected the site was very concerned about the safety of every diver who went into the water to obtain the certificate, and he often personally checked the preparation of the divers, and the people present were touched by the heart-warming behavior. But the prime minister with a good face and heart also has times when he is angry. When he asked the divers some details, the divers were silent and just shook their heads, and he would admonish them with a serious face: "How can you not think about such a big thing?"”
**Even in order to go to sea smoothly, I came to the ship early the next day and checked the preparations before going to sea little by little, and really grasped the details and did it to the extreme.
Under the supervision of ***, the cause of the accident was finally determined, and it was indeed sunk due to a rocking. The matter is already clear, ** wrote a letter to *** explaining the situation, which mentions: the "Yuejin" was killed, exposing the serious bureaucracy of the transport department, and secondly, the naval system also has a certain responsibility.
Sure enough, after the "Yuejin" incident, some departments had problems one after another, causing a lot of personnel and property losses. It really confirmed his judgment at that time.
Our Prime Minister - * how many ups and downs, difficulties and dangers he has experienced in his life. But he can always deal with changes without being surprised, grasp the focus of the matter, handle it carefully, and let all the difficulties be solved. Such a leader is a "backer" that the people can rely on, and an indispensable leader of the country. As one foreign commentator put it: "This brilliant leader, warrior, organizer and negotiator – he had incredible foresight and a natural talent for adapting to rapidly changing situations." ”
