The shipbuilding industry exhibition is held at the exhibition center in Zhongdu.

Different from the biennial China International Maritime Exhibition, the shipbuilding industry exhibition is more aimed at allowing domestic shipbuilding enterprises and related equipment manufacturers to go out, of course, this does not mean that this exhibition is completely complacent, and will naturally attract some foreign manufacturers to participate in the exhibition.

As for the China International Maritime Exhibition, which is specially designed for the introduction of advanced equipment and technology, the foreign businessmen who emphasize the independent shipbuilding industry exhibition are naturally much less, but there are many foreign guests who come to visit and negotiate the purchase of ships, after all, the overall cost of China's shipbuilding industry today is much lower than that of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, which are traditional shipbuilding powers.

Therefore, it is very attractive to some shipowners who are eager to reduce their costs and increase their profit margins.

Because of this, the shipbuilding industry exhibition has also become an excellent platform for shipbuilding companies and other shipping units to win orders and expand revenue.

Because of this, the criteria for selecting exhibitors are also extremely strict, after all, the visitors are all foreign guests with heads and faces, and they can't fool people with those small fishing boats.

Therefore, the shipyard with an annual output of 60,000 tons and an annual income of more than 50 million can apply for the exhibition.

Remember, you can apply for the exhibition, as for whether you can go, you have to say separately.

Endeavor Factory last year was added together in bits and pieces, and it was not even a fraction of the election index, let alone being approved to participate in the exhibition, and it was not even qualified to submit an application.

Fortunately, Endeavor Factory does not have a shipbuilding company, but also a ship machinery research institute, which specializes in the development of supporting ship equipment for the navy.

So as soon as he heard that Meng Jianye wanted to participate in the shipbuilding industry exhibition, so as to further sell their welding machines, the Ship Machinery Research Institute immediately came forward in person and got the ticket to the exhibition.

"You just arrived in Zhongdu, I don't know much about the situation, and the scale of this exhibition is much larger than the year before!"

The day after Meng Jianye arrived in Zhongdu, he met with Zheng Guolin, a researcher at the Marine Machinery Research Institute, and then the two took a car to the exhibition center to see what was going on at the booth

But as soon as they met, Meng Jianye was excited when he saw Zheng Guolin, and thought that this old man was dead and spring, but before he could open his mouth to ask, this one shook himself out: "Because, the navy department is also involved, after the ship sales contract with Egypt was successfully reached last year, the navy saw hope, two artillery frigates and four ships are hundreds of millions of dollars, this deal is very cost-effective, so this time the navy is ready to make a big one, hoping to sell more warships." ”

Meng Jianye understood why Zheng Guolin was so excited when he heard it, the export of warships can be regarded as a large arms transaction, and the profits in it are not compared to the civilian ships that are calculating, as a professional research institute of ship equipment under the navy, it must have made a lot of money in the ship transaction with Egypt, otherwise how could this old man be so happy?

But the question is, what does this have to do with him?

Finding that Meng Jianye lacked interest, Zheng Guolin also felt that he was overjoyed, and he pulled the topic away a little, so he smiled and pulled the topic back: "I heard that there are nearly 300 orders for welding machines in your factory? ”

Meng Jianye just smiled at this: "Don't worry, Researcher Zheng, see if we can put up some ship models, our factory is a shipyard after all." ”

Meng Jianye took the ride of the Ship Machinery Research Institute not just to show the welding machine, but hoped to take this opportunity to push out several ship types designed by him and the Han'e Shipyard.

However, Zheng Guolin was embarrassed, gritted his teeth in the end, and said: "Didn't I tell you just now, the navy is very determined this time, and almost took out all the ship types that can be taken out...... You also know, we are subordinate units of the Navy, so ......"

"So our model booth is gone?"

Zheng Guolin smiled and nodded, as if he was afraid that Meng Jianye would have emotions, and hurriedly added: "The model booth originally given to you was used to place the improved version of the Type 6610 minesweeper, which is the famous work of your Endeavor Factory, and the leaders of the Navy have already said that as long as someone orders this type of ship, 100% of the task will be given to your Endeavor Factory." ”

Originally, two 5,000-ton container models were turned into a model of a minesweeper of less than 600 tons, and it was impossible for Meng Jianye not to be depressed.

But what could he say?

I can only pray that those foreign buyers will be able to see the pearls and look past those majestic ships and see his small minesweeper.

However, it turned out that Meng Jianye had no relationship with God, and it was useless to pray, so he was busy arranging the exhibition for two days, and after the official opening, there were many people in front of his platform, but there were very few people who stopped to watch, let alone someone to purchase.

The situation in front of the platforms of other military ships is naturally much stronger than that of Meng Jianye, but Zheng Guolin and the other booth personnel are also crying like Meng Jianye.

There are a lot of people there, but none of them are willing to place an order, but many European and American shipowners come to them and ask if the model inside is an antique ship, and they want to buy it back for collection.

But when they heard that it was not an antique ship but an active warship, several European and American shipowners immediately lost interest and left in a huff.

Zheng Guolin and the others are not to mention how depressed they are, they are regarded as antique dealers when they display the warships well, which has to be said to be a great irony.

In this regard, Meng Jianye was mentally prepared earlier than Zheng Guolin, and the overall level of China's ships is lagging behind today's direct level, and the reason why it was able to successfully export ships to Egypt is actually due to profound historical reasons and geopolitical backgrounds.

Putting aside these external factors, China's warships are not at all competitive in the international market.

Let's not talk about others, let's just say that Pakistan, which has a good relationship with China, is equipped with warships that are also European and American goods, even Pakistan and railways, let alone other countries.

"Lao Qin, you have to help me with whatever you say this time, can I ask you what we have calculated?"

"Old Ma, it's not that I don't help you, it's really ...... Alas, I'm also struggling to be caught in the middle!"

Just when Meng Jianye was thinking wildly, two crying voices came from not far away, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Wentong sighing helplessly with a somewhat bald middle-aged man.
