African Nationhood

Chapter 170 Internal Affairs Meeting-Culture and Sports Industry

Ouyang Geng nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Shi, I will definitely investigate carefully."

"By the way, since Tie Lao is so concerned about the indigenous people's affairs, Tie Lao should be the deputy captain of the rectification team this time.

Deputy Tan Yaoxun is temporarily in charge of the Agriculture Bureau. "

As soon as he said this, everyone knew that Tie Lan was really out of luck now, and Mr. Shi had given up on him.

Tie Lan raised his head from his seat and replied softly: "Okay, I accept Mr. Shi's arrangement."

Tan Yaoxun, who was beside Tie Lan, sighed secretly. He had once advised Tie Lao.

But the old gentleman was too stubborn and there was nothing he could do about it.

After he graduated from Yale University in 1883, he immediately received a telegram from Shi Wenyuan.

The telegram asked him to leave the United States immediately and report to Southwest Africa.

At that time, he planned to stay for a while at the home of his host family, Mrs. Carrington, in the small town of Kubrook.

However, Shi Wenyuan's telegram was extremely urgent, so he had to leave Mrs. Carrington and her family temporarily and set foot on the cruise ship.

As everyone knows, Boss Shi saved his life.

In the original time and space, this classmate Tan wanted to stay and work in the embassy in China after graduation. Unexpectedly, he was infected with pneumonia right after graduation and eventually died. His life was fixed at the age of 22 forever.

After arriving in Southwest Africa, Shi Jintang met with him once and then arranged for him to work in the Bureau of Agriculture.

At that time, the Agricultural Bureau had just started and the work was not heavy. He had a lot of free time and had frequent contact with Mrs. Carrington and her family.

Later, Mrs. Carrington and her family visited Southwest Africa for a period of time. The family had a very happy time here, and they especially praised the scenery of Anhai Town.

Last year, Tan Yaoxun got caught in the rain because he was out on an inspection trip and didn't pay attention to the cold. Due to the lack of medical treatment in the outdoor environment, his cold eventually turned into pneumonia.

This incident alarmed Shi Jintang, and Boss Shi directly instructed Anhai Town Medical College to take out a small amount of antibiotic crystals prepared with difficulty from the laboratory for treatment.

After some treatment, he finally saved his life. Boss Shi saved his life for the second time.

When Tan Yaoxun recovered from his high fever coma, Boss Shi couldn't help but say something incomprehensible: "You kid is really destined for this disaster!"

After Tan Yaoxun recovered, he continued to work at the Agricultural Bureau. Since Tie Lan had been transferred, he had to serve as his deputy.

Now that Tie Lan had annoyed Boss Shi and was transferred away, he finally got things right.

……

"Clap"

"Everyone looks at me, now let's talk about happy things.

Because I am in charge of culture and sports, the most beautiful wives and girls in Southwest Africa are all under my control. Anyone who wants a wife or a wife can come to me. "

As soon as these words came out, the dull atmosphere in the entire venue was stirred up.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly, this Ouyang is really a living treasure.

Shi Jintang couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He knocked on the table and said, "Start quickly, don't delay."

Ouyang Geng agreed, then took off the agricultural report form on the stand, and then he also took out a picture and hung it up.

“As for our culture and sports department, even though we laugh and joke all day long, our contribution is not small.

According to my statistics, since the establishment of the company's drama troupe, the incidence of security cases in various regions has dropped by 6%.

Moreover, our theater troupe has also improved the literacy rate in various regions, because wherever the actors go, in addition to acting, they can also act as part-time teachers, giving literacy classes to immigrants.

Since I became the commissioner of the Cultural Port, the company has introduced a total of 586 talents in various drama and folk arts, and established professional performance teams.

These troupes perform once or twice a month in regional capitals and settlements.

The guaranteed performance is 2100 times a year.

One-third of the introduced drama and music talents were actors or famous actors with a certain reputation in the Qing Dynasty. After they came to Southwest Africa, they all followed our advice, taught students carefully, and regularly participated in drama troupes that went to rural areas to perform in various places.

Currently, there are more than 1200 students being trained. The training time for these students is not long enough, and over time they can become independent. "

Ouyang Geng laid an ambush here. He was able to "invite" so many famous drama and folk art masters because of his tactics.

For example, a well-known Cantonese opera master taught his subordinates not to specify where they were going, but instead coaxed them to "go to Hong Kong to hold a party."

The celebrity collected the money and boarded the ship, only to find that it was not going to Hong Kong at all, but a direct voyage to Southwest Africa.

Usually at this point, there is no point in resisting and struggling. No matter how stubborn the person is, no one dares to jump into the vast sea.

When he got off the boat and took him to the theater troupe, he negotiated directly with the artist, "You will be let back after you have stayed here for three years. During this period, you need to help train the students.

Otherwise, they will be locked up directly and released when the expiration date is reached. "

I was a little stubborn at first, but after a month or two I couldn't stand it anymore.

When you have students, you want to act. Seeing that the audience here really supports you, the master's mood will feel better, and he will feel more motivated to teach students.

He's really a tough guy. He keeps his word and lets him go when the deadline expires. Anyway, they can't do anything about Southwest Africa.

Those who are not well-known can just come and show off their cards directly.

"You didn't do well in the Qing Dynasty. When you come to our side, the audience praises you and the students respect you. Do you want to stay?"

As long as the brain is clear, he will stay directly, so Ouyang Geng's performance has skyrocketed.

In addition, he intends to push the cultural industry into the free market, and has promoted several professional theater troupes to test the market.

For example, there are many rich people in Jinshan Town, and the theater troupe he launched is very popular there.

Although white people can’t understand it, they can read it.

Ouyang Geng specially arranged for indigenous white people to act as translators and inform the white people about the plot of the drama and other popular science explanations.

He should be the earliest promoter of Chinese culture in this time and space.

The cultural undertakings in Southwest Africa have been greatly developed. Not to mention the prosperous market, at least the previously lifeless Southwest Africa has been filled with laughter and joy.

This credit is not small!

In addition to the form of folk art, Ouyang Geng also made great efforts in sports.

“In the past year, we have held various sports events, mainly focusing on table tennis, football, badminton, and long and short distance running.

I would like to thank Mr. Shi for this. The new table tennis game he invented is short and easy to operate, which is very conducive to promotion.

As for the badminton and football events, we also held them very well. The football and badminton competitions in the Namib region and the Orange Grove region were also held well, which effectively promoted cultural and sports exchanges between the regions. "

There is another difference between today's table tennis and later table tennis. It uses solid rubber balls and is played on a small flat plate with wooden boards.

This kind of movement would not be invented until several years later (1893) in the original time and space.

Shi Jintang was bored one day, so he played this kind of sport with Ye Rong and Jin Xiyue.

Ouyang Geng saw it and insisted on promoting it.

Shi Jintang just let him do it. In the future, it should be the South Chinese who are the first to achieve global dominance in this sport.

After Ouyang Geng finished speaking, he glanced at Shi Jintang and found that Boss Shi looked calm.

He continued: "I have a suggestion, I hope Mr. Shi can consider it.

Can our Nanhua Company contact the Cape Colony next door to organize a sports meeting between the two colonies? "
