Chapter 82: Arrived
At the air show, there have long been staff here who are responsible for the decoration and decoration of the booth. The people who came with Xu Ziling were only the staff in charge of business and explanation from the headquarters, and of course they didn't need to do the hard work. But there are some aspects where communication is still needed.
The next day, Xu Ziling went with them to the air show center not far from the hotel. The airline shows are still in the period of preparation, and media reporters are not allowed to interview, so the inspection of people who enter is also relatively strict. Xu Ziling hung up the staff pass that Ding Chen had done for them last night, but he was still questioned by the guards before being released.
Passing through many exhibition halls along the way, some of the already arranged interiors are covered with various curtains, so that people walking back and forth in the corridors cannot see through the inside. When I came to Haitian's booth, I saw that the decoration was almost finished, and the staff was already doing the most debugging for the lighting, network, etc. Xu Ziling unveiled a curtain in the exhibition hall, below is a 1-to-1 model of a rocket engine, and then looked at several other curtains, several missile and rocket engines of different sizes are models.
"Team Wang, are all these exhibits in the air show models?" Xu Ziling had never experienced such a similar exhibition in person, and when he saw that the items on display were models, he felt a little strange, so he asked Leader Wang who was next to him.
"It's usually a model, but there are real guys. Not our homegrown, for certain issues, our booth has historically used models. Team leader Wang, who was next to him, heard Xu Ziling ask like this, and immediately answered him. After speaking, he squeezed his eyes.
Also, the things on display at the air show are basically high-tech, and for the sake of safety, it is impossible to casually put some real things in front of the public. If you want to see the real thing, you must have the intention to buy or cooperate, and then you will have further negotiations, and then you will have the real thing to see.
"What about airplanes?" I didn't understand at the beginning, if the plane was like this, and no one was allowed to take a closer look, then I had to think of other ways.
"Hehe......" Team Leader Wang listened to Xu Ziling's words, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, planes are different from these things." Who have you ever seen who would dare to grab a plane? But it's not the same with little things like missiles. So don't worry about airplanes being like little things, they're all real guys. Tomorrow, I'll show you there, and make sure you can touch it with your own hands. "Haitian Aviation is also a very famous aerospace company in the world, and it has participated in the Paris Air Show many times, and the exhibitors are basically the same each time, as long as it is not a hostile country, everyone is generally familiar with it. Haitian is a private enterprise, and it also has branches in the United States, and it also has good cooperation with Western countries, so they are not too reluctant to Haitian, which is rooted in the Celestial Empire, and they will never refuse to touch the plane and take a photo.
Xu Ziling listened to his explanation and put his mind at ease. I just want to come back tomorrow to reap the benefits. After helping out at the Haitian booth for a while, it was time for lunch, everyone went to find a place to eat Chinese food and returned to the air show center, Xu Ziling and others arranged the Haitian booth together, and then went to visit the booths of other exhibitors in the Heavenly Empire, and the day passed like this.
The next day is the official launch day, but the first three days are not open to ordinary people, and only industry personnel are allowed to enter. Haitian's booth was also going to be opened, so everyone got up early, had breakfast and went to the air show center.
Zhao Xueqin explained when she came that even if there was no business at the air show, it was necessary to meet the requirements put forward by Xu Ziling. Therefore, as soon as he came to Haitian's booth, Team Leader Wang asked the deputy team leader to take over his work, and he himself wholeheartedly accompanied Xu Ziling to visit the planes exhibited by other countries.
Xu Ziling didn't have much interest in passenger planes and some business aircraft, so he asked Wang to take him straight to Boeing's fighter booth. The airplane's booth was on the apron of Le Airport, out of the exhibition hall to the apron, planes of different sizes were parked throughout the venue, Xu Ziling This was the first time to see so many planes, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the whole scene.
Team Leader Wang took him to Boeing's booth and asked Xu Ziling to wait, but he found an American with a big nose in a bunch of people not far away, said a few words, and took two things like documents from his hand, and returned to Xu Ziling, and handed one of them to Xu Ziling: "Hang up, this is a guest certificate." With this thing, you can touch it if you want, take pictures if you want to, as long as you don't smash it, they won't care. Seeing Xu Ziling hang up the guest card, he explained: "This big-nosed guy is my classmate when I was studying in the United States, and I occasionally contact him, and now it's useful." As he spoke, he flicked his finger card with his fingers.
Xu Ziling looked at the humor he said, and he also laughed.
Boeing has a lot of airliners, but few fighters. After walking past a few planes, Xu Ziling saw the F22 that he had been worried about for a while. The whole machine coated with a special coating on the outside is light gray, and under the early morning sun, it reflects a dazzling brilliance, and in Xu Ziling's eyes, it is like a lover's charm.
Around the fuselage stood a circle of security guards, blocking some media reporters trying to approach the plane. Xu Ziling said a word to Team Leader Wang, and walked towards the plane. Coming to the front of the security personnel, Xu Ziling expressed in English that he wanted to take a closer look at the plane, and the security personnel looked at the guest card hanging on his chest, although he was an Oriental face, he immediately became extremely polite, and used his hand to prop up the colored cloth strip used as a guard, so that Xu Ziling entered it.
Looking at the F22 within reach, Xu Ziling was ecstatic. The landing gear of the F22 is not high, and its fuselage can be reached as soon as you reach out. There was a security guard next to him, and Xu Ziling could only pretend to look around it unhurriedly before taking out his mobile phone, handing it to the person behind him, and asking in English if he could take a picture of him. As a guest, this small request will of course be met. After the security personnel agreed, Xu Ziling stood on the side of the fuselage, pressed one hand on the fuselage, and posed a POSS, signaling that he could take pictures.
In my heart, I let the lion seize the opportunity and scan it quickly. The speed of the scan was very fast, and by the time the security guards had finished taking pictures of him, the scan was over. When Xu Ziling saw that the task was completed, he took the mobile phone from the security guards, thanked him, and then turned around and walked out of the cordon circle and came to Leader Wang's side.
"Done?" Team Leader Wang watched Xu Ziling go around in a circle, took a photo and walked out, still wondering why he just glanced at it and finished it?
The drawings have been obtained, Xu Ziling walked out with the ecstasy in his heart, and when he heard the team leader Wang's question, he replied with a smile: "Hmm." Look at it. I just want to see the real thing with my own eyes and see what the American baby-like plane looks like. ”
Next, Xu Ziling used the same method to obtain the drawings of the Boeing company's "Condor" UAV, the RC-135 electronic reconnaissance aircraft of various models modified from the Boeing 707, and the E737 electronic early warning aircraft. Out of Boeing's booth, Xu Ziling couldn't help but sigh that the strength of this company is indeed strong, and just such a company almost meets all of Xu Ziling's requirements.
got so many drawings, it was enough to digest, in other companies' booths, Xu Ziling just visited them casually, missiles and the like are models, he didn't waste any more time. In addition to not seeing the F35 and B2 bombers on this trip, it is a bit regrettable, and it can be regarded as exceeding the tasks set for himself.
The drawings have been obtained, and Xu Ziling is eager to be able to put them into the experiment immediately. After lunch, he asked Leader Wang to return to China. When Team Leader Wang heard Xu Ziling's request, he thought that he had not entertained him well, and after Xu Ziling repeatedly explained that he really had something to return to China, he believed that it was not his own hospitality, so he had to inform Ding Chen to book a plane ticket for Xu Ziling.
On the way back to the hotel with Leader Wang, he received a call from Ding Chen, saying that there was a flight back to Xinghai at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and asked Xu Ziling if he was in such a hurry. At this time, Xu Ziling was eager to get as soon as possible, and immediately decided to book a ticket for this flight.
Quickly returned to the hotel, packed up the luggage, and as soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw Ding Chen coming in a hurry, the time was relatively tight, and Leader Wang also had his business, so he didn't say much to greet, said some words of thanks, let him not send it again, got into Ding Chen's car, and hurried to the airport.
explained to Ding Chen again in the car that he really had something to return to China, not that they were not entertained well. He had to let him handle the consignment for his shopping, and in the two days he arrived in Paris, he greeted him meticulously, Xu Ziling left his phone number and asked him to find him when he returned to China, and then thank him well.
It took nearly an hour to arrive at the airport, and it was already time to check-in, so Xu Ziling took his luggage and some perfume and other gadgets that were stuffed in his bag at that time, passed the security check, entered the boarding gate, and got on the plane.
Before the plane took off, Xu Ziling thought that it was morning when he arrived at Xinghai International Airport, so he called Yang Ruolan again, telling him that he would return to Xinghai in the morning and let her come to pick up the plane when she had time. The two of them chatted again and again until the flight attendant prompted that the plane was about to take off before hanging up the phone.
At this time, Xu Ziling had time to look inside the cabin, looked at some familiar flight attendants, and realized that this flight was the one he took when he came, and there were not many people going to Xinghai, and there were three or two people sparsely sitting in the first-class cabin he was sitting in. No one bothered, he could just communicate more with the lion, Xu Ziling thought to himself.
