Chapter 488: The New Land Meets the Ancients
On Tuesday morning, when the sun was shining and the sky was blue, Wu Hao and his party began to march towards the Pearl City Exhibition.
Zhushi is located south of the Tropic of Cancer and has a subtropical monsoon climate. Although it was already November at this time, and the north was already in the thick of autumn, the weather in Zhuhai City was still relatively hot because of the low dimension.
Of course, because it is a coastal city, it has a humid sea breeze and fresh air, so it has become a famous garden city and one of the most suitable cities for people to live in China.
Wu Hao's Zhushi Air Show is located in Zhushi International Airport, which can be said to be held on the basis of Zhushi International Airport. In recent years, with the increasing scale and influence of the exhibition, a number of professional venues and venues have also been built here for the use of the exhibition.
This year's Zhuhai Airshow will last for a total of six days, with the first three days being professional days and the last three days being open to the public.
In general, there is not much difference between the trade day and the open to the public, mainly in terms of the number of exhibitors and the number of exhibitors and performances.
The visitors of the professional day are mainly business negotiations, cooperation, exhibitors, related professionals, and international aviation professionals, and some aviation stars will appear at this time.
It is possible that some air show exhibits and equipment will be withdrawn after the professional day, which has also been the case in previous air shows.
The public open day, to put it bluntly, is open to the general public, which is also a benefit for the local people at many exhibitions, and it is also an excellent window for the people to carry out national defense education and patriotic education.
Of course, it's more about commercial purposes, such as the sale of tickets for exhibitions and venues. The price of five or six hundred can reach tens of thousands of visitors per day, and the income from the tour is also quite objective.
The exhibition party will also take this opportunity to show some civilian products to the public, or sell some commemorative albums, souvenirs, models and other derivative products.
In recent years, due to the continuous expansion of the scale of the Pearl Market Exhibition, the domestic and international influence has been increasing. Therefore, in addition to attracting a large number of weapons and equipment, defense and airlines to participate, it has also attracted a large number of private enterprises to participate.
This year, for example, a large number of civil airlines, as well as some car and yacht companies, participated.
The big ones are like Boeing Airbus, as well as our domestic C919 large passenger aircraft, and the small ones have some business jets, small private jets, helicopters and so on. In addition to the large airlines, these customers are ordinary people who have a certain economic base.
As for car companies, they will also take the opportunity to launch a series of off-road vehicles, as well as outdoor off-road equipment, not to mention yacht companies.
Although there is generally no difference between a professional day and a public open day, for most media journalists and professional military fans, they prefer to go out to the professional day.
Because on the professional day, they can not only see more advanced weapons and equipment, but also meet many acquaintances in military circles. For example, some military experts, representatives of some countries, military attachΓ©s, political dignitaries, and many corporate CEOs and executives and celebrities.
What's more, some large-scale air shows will be held on professional days, and some advanced weapons and equipment will only be displayed on professional days.
In recent years, because the degree of openness has become higher and higher, the threshold for ordinary people to enter the professional day has become lower and lower, and they only need to spend money to find a relevant agency to register a professional visit certificate.
Of course, even if you have a professional visitor permit, you still have to pay attention to it, for example, minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter. In addition, those who enter must dress formally and ceremoniously, and officers can wear ribbons and medals, while non-military personnel must wear formal attire.
For example, Wu Hao, he didn't wear his favorite T-shirt this time, but changed into a dark gray shirt, and rarely put on leather shoes.
Sure enough, as he expected, his arrival still caused quite a stir. Some media reporters rushed up to interview him, and some 'professional spectators' also picked up their mobile phones and began to take pictures around him.
Fortunately, he was escorted by his entourage, and the exhibition party also sent security personnel to protect and evacuate, which made him somewhat relieved.
"Xiao Wu!" As soon as the onlookers were evacuated, there was a hearty laugh.
Wu Hao fixed his eyes and found a middle-aged man in a military uniform striding towards him surrounded by several people.
"Director Luo, why are you here?" Wu Hao hurriedly responded, holding his hand and saying with a surprised expression, but he could feel the joy in his tone and expression.
"Hahaha, how can I say that the Zhuhai Air Show is also a grand event for our domestic military workers, how can I not come. It's you, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Luo Kai patted him on the shoulder and said kindly.
Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's been more than a year, and we haven't seen each other since the end of the last project." I also said that I would take the time to visit you in the capital, but I didn't expect to see you here. β
"Haha, what are you visiting, visiting, you're so busy." Luo Kai smiled at him: "This time it's not just me, Song Suo is also here." Zhao Lao said that he would also come, but he didn't know exactly when. β
"Really, that's great, we've got to get together this time." Wu Hao said with a look of surprise when he heard this.
"Song Suo also told me that he would slaughter your kid well." Luo Kai looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. This is really the time to make people old, a generation of new people for the old. It's only been a few years, and the hairy boy who was still a little immature at the beginning has now become a world-renowned young entrepreneur and genius scientist.
"Haha, no problem, whatever you want." Wu Hao smiled, then looked at the epaulettes on Luo Kai's shoulders and couldn't help teasing: "I said director, it's been a few years, why are you still two cents and four cents on your shoulders, why do you have to have a star." β
"Go, what do you kid know." Luo Kai smiled at him and scolded: "The promotion of a school officer to a general officer is a hurdle, and there are many people who have been stuck on it all their lives. I'm still young, I don't have enough qualifications, and I'll have to work hard for a few more years before I have hope. β
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then puzzled: "Didn't you say that the technical post is easy to promote, why do you have to boil it." β
"Hehe, it's all the same at this stage of our life." Luo Kai shook his head and explained: "Do you know how many colonels there are in the whole army, and there are only a few people who can cross this hurdle every year, and the degree of competition can be imagined. So, only people who are really capable and have achievements can get promotion opportunities, opportunities, opportunities, opportunities, and I am far from it. β
"I'm sure you will."
Wu Hao smiled and comforted, then looked at the crowd not far away and said, "I haven't been to this exhibition, where do we go first?" β
