Chapter 18: Is Sayuri Beautiful?

Chen Xu slept darkly that night, and when he woke up, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, Qian Junming's luggage was neatly placed, but no one was seen, and no one answered when he knocked on the door next door.

When I asked the waiter, I learned that the members of the whole floor had already gotten up at five or six o'clock and went to the exhibition hall at the expo site.

Chen Xu, the eldest young master, was very angry when he got up, and a few months of comfortable life had completely exhausted the vigilance he had cultivated as an intelligence officer for decades, and the members of the regiment now knew that he had a big family background, and no one dared to call him when he slept to death.

After a hearty eel meal in the hotel restaurant, I drank a glass of red wine to wake up, went back to my room to change into a formal suit, and went downstairs to get a taxi and go straight to the fair.

This expo is not so much a science and technology event as a home for Japan to show off its national strength. Not only Japanese manufacturers, but also countries have come up with their most proud industrial products in the hope of making a name for themselves at the conference and winning orders.

The sun is scorching, and the sky is blue and translucent.

The rehearsal for the opening ceremony was very grand, with huge colorful hydrogen balloons suspended in the air and banners and streamers everywhere. An open-air stage was set up in the plaza outside the venue, and the organizers invited Momoe Yamaguchi, Sayuri, and Tomokazu Miura, who are currently the most popular, to rehearse and dance on stage. Because of the star effect, the crowd that has not yet opened the square to see the excitement is already crowded, and the excitement is extraordinary.

Tomorrow morning will be the opening ceremony, and the major manufacturers in the venue that have not yet opened the door are carrying out the final inspection and decoration, hoping to receive the audience who are about to enter the venue with the best face.

Beneath the huge vaulted steel-framed roof of the exhibition is a spacious hall divided into dozens of large halls, each of which is a country.

The best location in the middle is naturally the Japanese pavilion of the Japanese, within a range of hundreds of square meters, more than a dozen small exhibition halls, the trademarks on display are familiar to later generations of big brands, and the exhibits they put out are the most popular scientific and technological products today, from color TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, automobiles, etc., all of which show the rising scientific and technological strength of Japan today.

I thought that the China Pavilion needed to be looked for a while, but I turned around and saw three red neon lights on the left side of the hall.

However, Chen Xu found that compared with the surrounding other countries and manufacturers, everyone was smiling and looking forward to the opening, but there was a gloomy atmosphere in China, with the members standing and not working, and the booths were empty.

Jiangnan Machinery Factory was assigned to a small exhibition hall facing the main entrance, and the booth was a circle, surrounded by two curved bar tables.

Qian Junming and Zhong Jian, two old men, were swinging the electric fan on the table. Because according to Chen Xu's requirements, all electric fans should be in the same direction and uniform when starting the swing head.

"Old Qian, do you all set up a stall here all day? How about it, have you gone to see the big Japanese stars who are performing outside, there are a lot of beauties! Does that Sayuri look like your old man? Chen Xu leaned his arm on the booth, took out an apple from his pocket, wiped it with his palm and stuffed it into his mouth.

"What Sayuri, I don't know, it's just some young people with beautiful eyebrows, do I still see less people in my life?" Qian Junming placed an electric fan on the curved table, carefully adjusted the angle, and said disdainfully.

"Don't talk about this, what's wrong with these people, they all look sad, the exhibits haven't been moved out yet, when are they going to cover it? Isn't there an accident? Chen Xu muttered at the other members of the group who were standing in a daze not far away, Nunu, taking a bite of an apple.

"It's not just an accident, it's a big accident!" Zhong Jian put down the two wooden boxes containing the exhibits, and replied with a crowbar in his hand and a solemn face.

"Some of the members of the group defected, or what's going on?" Chen Xu was shocked, put down the apple and frowned and asked.

Zhong Jian pried the two boxes open with a crowbar, shook his head and said, "It would be a good thing if someone defected, but now it is a big shame." All provinces have brought their best products over, as a result, the members of the group walked around the exhibition this morning, only to find that they brought some broken copper and iron, we brought black and white TVs, people exhibited already large color TVs, we brought the best scooters, you go to see the United States and Japan exhibited large displacement motorcycles, hey...... The difference is incomparable. Inner Mongolia even brought hundreds of catties of beef jerky to the exhibition, you say it's not a shame! ”

"Yes! We are about to lose face in front of the whole world for this development, and we know that it is better not to participate in the exhibition. The Japanese also don't know about things, but they also gave us the most conspicuous exhibition hall, and now the head of the group is difficult to ride a tiger, and it will become a joke to hold on to the exhibition, and he dare not call the shots when he withdraws from the exhibition, and the warehouse is crying out of a hurry at this time. Qian Junming sighed sadly beside him.

Hearing this, Chen Xu patted his forehead helplessly, he can understand these things, the country has been fighting against the United States and the Soviet Union externally over the years, and has engaged in internal convulsions, economic science has been stagnant for ten years, and the poor can only eat grass.

At the same time that the Japanese sent an invitation to participate in the industrial fair, and Beijing started the reform and opening up at a time when it was in urgent need of foreign exchange.

The first time a domestic manufacturer participated in such a large-scale international expo, they didn't know what to exhibit, so they thought about it and brought what they thought was the best product, in fact, it was black and white televisions, motorcycles, electric fans, and even local products.

It is conceivable that if these things are put on display at such a large-scale international industrial exhibition, the country's bottoms will be exposed all over the world, and the head of such a big black pot can't afford to carry it!

Chen Xu pinched the soft flesh in his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and asked Zhong Jian, who brought out a blue electric fan in the wooden box: "The other exhibits we brought over, if they are placed in the entire large exhibition hall of the China Pavilion, will the number be enough?" ”

Zhong Jian turned around and glanced at the hundreds of square meters of the Chinese Pavilion, pouted and said, "That's not good, let's just have an electric fan, it's real, and the other exhibits are models, and they can't support the scene." ”

"It's good to have something to show people now, and it's so exquisite!" Qian Junming interjected.

The time to participate in this expo is too tight, Chen Xu has already tried his best to do a good job of electric fans, and he can't help but do something else. However, it is monotonous to only exhibit the electric fan position, so he ordered people to make dozens of models of scientific and technological products, even if they can't make a real model to charge the scene.

Unexpectedly, these models used to fill the numbers would become a lifesaver for the China Pavilion!

The physical models made by Chen Xu are the hottest and most advanced technological products of this era:

The most important of these is the cross-sectional model of the third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant and the fourth-generation high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plant, although Chen Xu does not understand the specific design of these two nuclear power plants, but he still understands the basic theory, and it is not difficult to build a reactor model.

In this era, nuclear power is undoubtedly the hottest cutting-edge industry at the moment, and it was not until the Sanrito Island nuclear accident a year later that the craze came to an abrupt end, but nuclear power is still an irresistible temptation for the Japanese.

In addition to this, he also designed several automatic transmissions and cross-sectional models of four- and six-cylinder turbocharged engines, all of which were cast in mild steel according to drawings in the factory, and carefully polished to make them look extraordinarily textured, as if they were the real thing, in fact, they were the same as the real thing.

In order to show the appearance of China's automobile industry, Chen Xu also deliberately painted several models of classic cars in later generations, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, who copied whom, and then asked workers to build scale models by hand.

Who's to say he's plagiarizing? It will be more than ten years before these cars appear, and we are now selling concepts......

The most popular electronic technology nowadays, of course, Chen Xu can't just put it away!

He designed a convex screen with a large chassis for a personal computer, as well as a matching mouse and keyboard.

In order to show off his skills, he even made a bulky laptop model, and took the trouble to prepare an introduction sign with the various numbers of this laptop.

The most important of these are the graphical window interface and multitasking operating system, as well as the companion mouse. Because the computer is a model that cannot be displayed, Chen Xu used cardboard to draw a lot of window models to show them, and with the design process, so that the exhibition will be more realistic.

It's 1978, and personal computers can only use keyboards to enter commands, and the screen is full of letters without pictures.

Apple's Mac graphical interface will not be launched until four years later, and Microsoft's window1.0 Windows system will not appear until five years later.

In addition to this, there are Walkmans, CD players, tape recorders, and even watches and Nintendo game consoles have been made into physical models.

Chen Xu designed sketches of all electronic technologies that could become popular in a few years, and then asked the workers in the factory to make models according to the drawings.

The main reason is that the time is too tight, and there is no time to make samples, so he can only make a model first, register a patent, and put it out to declare his sovereignty.

The most helpless thing is that the time is too tight, and Chen Xu does not have the energy to design beautiful trademarks for these products. They are simply engraved with the same cute panda trademark as the electric fan, Panda brand computer, panda operating system, panda walkman, panda CD player and so on.

Under Chen Xu's arrangement, all models will temporarily use "panda" as a registered trademark in Chinese and "panda" as an English trademark, and he has made a patent document for all the models on display this time, and will apply for international patent registration in the next two days.

These models, Chen Xu were randomly designed by the left pole and the right pole in 40 days, and all of them were brought to Tokyo not for exhibition, but to have a more credible model when applying for a patent.

And now in this situation, it is estimated that all the models will be put out, and according to the current situation, even the propeller has to be taken out and put on the heavy equipment, otherwise the scene will not be suppressed.

For the sake of the country's face, Chen Xu also let it go, regardless of what military secrets it has.
