At 2 p.m. on July 22, I hailed an online car and went to Xi'an CUHK International NIO House, where the driver was a strong young man with very powerful music in the car, showing the vitality and vitality of the city.
As the saying goes: "Twenty years of China looks at Shenzhen, one hundred years of China looks at Shanghai, one thousand years of China looks at Beijing, and five thousand years of China looks at Xi'an." "There is a song called "The Song of the Xi'an People" that writes,
At your feet was buried the eminent kings and grandsons,
Peace Gate under the Ma Ling is the most low-key one.
It is precisely because of the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties and more than 1,100 years of national capital history that Xi'an has a unique urban temperament. The Xi'an High-tech Zone represents the overlap of the history and future of this 5,000-year-old city, and cumin International, where the Weilai Center is located, is the benchmark place for high-end shopping in the entire northwest.
The second floor of NIO Center, also known as CLUB, is open to NIO owners and invited friends. At 8 p.m. on July 22, the live canvassing of nio Day 2021 will be held here. As a media observer, the driver will witness the whole process of their bid for live broadcast here.
From 3 p.m., the live rehearsal began to be intense. This is also today's first rehearsal, responsible for showing Xi'an's advantages as a declared city, is the two presidents of the Niolai Shaanxi Riders Association, Meng Yao and Yao Ning.
At 4:44 p.m., today's second rehearsal begins. In order not to interfere with other Weilai owners who came to club, the curtain was pulled up in the live broadcast room, which also made the atmosphere of the scene more and more tense with the approaching time.
7 p.m. There is still an hour before the start of the live broadcast, and on a new theme background wall, everyone has handwritten a blessing for Xi'an to call. When taking a photo with the background wall, everyone's face was full of smiles. That joy and sense of accomplishment, it's like everyone has already won.
At 8 p.m., the bidding city's canvassing live broadcast officially began, because Xi'an in the previous lottery, the order of the draw is the third and last to show, so everyone outside the live broadcast room began to hold the mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of Hefei and Suzhou, from time to time commenting on the performance of the competitive city, fingers flying on the mobile phone keyboard, sending Xi'an people to the national Weilai car owners warm invitation.
At 8:50, with the expectations and enthusiasm of 19 members of the Preparatory Committee and more than 1,800 owners of Shaanxi Weilai Car Friends Association, Meng Yao and Yao Ning's life was broadcast live for the first time.
On the live screen, the screen full of "Xi'an Must Win", "Xi'an Xi'an", "Wei Wei Daguan, Come to Chang'an", although I am just an outsider, but my heart is still full of ignited feelings.
In the design of the live broadcast, the last link is that all the small partners of the preparatory committee and the staff of NIO House enter the scene together, they take a gentle step, quietly waiting outside the curtain of the live broadcast room, waiting for the signal to enter the scene, waiting for the highlight moment of a few seconds after the team that has been formed for a month and a half.
The live broadcast ended at 9:20 p.m., but everyone had no intention of dispersing immediately. Yao Ning regretted that he did not say two sentences well, and ushered in the praise and encouragement of his partners one after another "particularly good". Everyone present has a determination to win in their hearts, because they have really, and have worked 100% for this.
No interest, no reward, pure all-out and 100% immersion, how long have we not experienced this intense excitement and joy of full devotion?
At this moment, I was really moved.
Driver's Epilogue:
Not all the stories are destined to be beautiful, and two days later, at 11 p.m. on July 24, the bidding results were released, and Suzhou won the right to host NIO Day 2021. I asked Meng Yao at 11:02, will I do it next year?
He replied to me lightly, yes.
Then I opened the Weilai APP, the homepage in addition to the official announcement of "this year's NIO Day, go to Suzhou", the first article of the recommendation page is a short video from the Xi'an bidding team. In the video, they sent sincere blessings for Suzhou for the first time.
They said, "Hefei Xi'an re-add electricity (the meaning of refueling), Wei wei daguan, come to Chang'an!" ”
——This is the atmosphere that belongs to Chang'an, the demeanor of Chang'an, and the sincerity and enthusiasm that belong to Chang'an.
With this group, I experienced an unforgettable 7 hours. Watching them claim to be Buddhist bidders, but extremely serious, they seem to be tireless, shuttling between life, work and NIO House. If it weren't for seeing and believing, I wouldn't quite believe that behind all this, there is nothing to do with money and interests, and some, just love and recognition.
The love of a brand is also the love of life, and the recognition of the same frequency resonance with a group of people, let them be together, but also let them overcome countless unimaginable difficulties in the days of more than 30 days.
Including Meng Yao and Yao Ning, a total of 19 owners of the auto club formed the bidding committee. From June 18 to July 22, after the establishment of the bidding committee, they were busy at NIO House almost every day for this bid.
Nineteen members of the organizing committee and 17 other than the two presidents were selected. At that time, nearly 40 owners of the association signed up, and even needed to pass the interview to join the organizing committee - which was enough to show the importance they attached to the event.
Among the 19 car owners, there are civil servants, teachers, doctors, programmers, and they can be regarded as coming from all walks of life. In this month or so, they need to pay a lot of time and energy, and more importantly, all the costs of the city's bid for content preparation are borne by the car owners themselves.
The content that needs to be prepared for the bid is as small as a tweet posted in the Weilai APP to the exquisite PPT and video that need to be displayed when the "ten into three" propaganda is preached, and they are all hands-on.
No, learn. If it is difficult to meet professional standards, mobilize all personal resources to find someone to help. Their enthusiasm is even able to impress their friends to participate in providing professional assistance free of charge.
Why would you want to do this? They replied,
In order to let all Weilai riders come to Xi'an, understand Xi'an, and know the place they love. According to them, after successfully winning the ten out of three, the joy and sense of accomplishment in their hearts is huge and unforgettable, and as they tell all this with a glint in their eyes, I see,
Love really can generate electricity.
When I was in the midst of it, I asked myself, if I was one of them, what would make us hold each other's hands, cross obstacles, and move forward?
My answer is: how serious and how committed they are to bidding for this matter means how precious and rare our unreserved sincerity and pure enthusiasm are in our present.
"Even if this is a rushing era, paying more and more cautiously, can not withstand the waste of time; sincerity is becoming more and more rare, can not afford to spend day and night. But I know, you've been like the lost star, trying to light up the night. (Lu Sihao, "You've Come a Long Way Too")
I was in Xi'an Weilai Center for 7 hours, and I saw a lot of stars. They got together, and a wonderful connection occurred between a man and a group of people. The connection is simple and rustic, pure and sincere. Who says that contemporary emotions between people are like deserts?
Never forget that we are always looking for the same kind.
At the end of the story, they didn't win the game.
But in a story that doesn't end, they win beautifully enough, respectable enough.
See you next year in Xi'an.
