The place where the air show was held was located in the largest city of Tianlan Star - White Crystal City, and for this grand event, the local government specially built a huge temporary building outside the city as an exhibition hall.

Thousands of mecha manufacturers from all over the empire have arrived one after another, and have begun to arrange their display areas in advance, in order to display their products in front of visitors in the best possible way.

Liu Yi and the others walked into this very huge building, and the incomparably spacious hall shocked everyone speechless.

"Oh my God, such a large exhibition hall is probably two thousand meters long!"

"This top is high enough, I'm afraid it's close to 100 meters."

These people, who were accustomed to staying in Yaqiu, opened their mouths wide one by one at the first sight of such a huge building, and they kept letting out all kinds of exclamations.

When the people around them saw them like this, they all laughed, "Where did the hillbillies come from, I really haven't seen the world!" ”

Liu Yi naturally heard a lot of ridicule, and he was very unhappy, and said secretly: "Let me open your eyes after the opening, although we are from Yaqiu, our mecha is by no means inferior to yours!" ”

Tang Jie didn't care much, he always had a smile on his face, and many people looked at him in surprise when they saw such a beautiful woman mixed in the middle of a group of hillbillies.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up, the opening will be opened the day after tomorrow, we have to hurry up and set up the exhibition area!" Tang Jie clapped his hands and instructed everyone to start working, as if they were playing a game with a child.

Liu Yi looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so he planned to go around. I was about to leave, but Tang Jie grabbed my clothes.

"What for?" Liu Yi asked.

"Where are you going?"

"I go around and learn from other people's experiences."

"Everyone is working, what are you running around by yourself, and you don't know how to help." Tang Jie fell on the road.

Liu Yi pouted and said: "I'm the boss, of course I don't have to work, my job is to increase my horizons, so that I can guide you." ”

Tang Jie didn't know how to refute for a while, Liu Yi saw the opportunity to smear oil under his feet, and rushed out, and when he came back to his senses, Liu Yi was already ten meters away.

"You're a boss and you're lazy! See how I clean you up! Tang Jie scolded angrily, grabbed a cardboard box and threw it at Liu Yi.

Escaping Tang Jie's control, Liu Yi wandered around happily, this was his first time participating in the non-public part of the air show, and everything felt fresh to see.

Most of the people in the venue were busy arranging the exhibition area, and some of the earlier manufacturers had already completed the layout, and even the mecha had already been placed in the exhibition area.

These mechs waiting to be exhibited are covered in huge packaging, so it is not yet possible to see what they really are, and one can only guess what they will look like by their silhouettes.

After walking around for a while, Liu Yi felt that it was almost over, and was about to return to the exhibition area of Jieyi, when someone suddenly patted Liu Yi on the shoulder behind him.

Liu Yi turned his head to look, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who the other party was.

Cui ...... Mr. Cui Wen! Liu Yi didn't expect to meet Cui Wen here, and he was very surprised.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, you're here too." Cui Wen said with a smile, not at all like what he had seen before.

Liu Yi asked, "Mr. Cui is also here to participate in the air show?" ”

"I have to come every year, after all, I am the person in charge of procurement, and I don't come to see how to do it." Cui Wen replied.

"It's my first time here, and I would like to ask Mr. Cui for more advice." Liu Yi said sincerely.

Although Cui Wen had a cold face when he worked, he was actually a warm-hearted person, and he saw that Liu Yi sincerely asked him for advice, so he unreservedly told Liu Yi about his views on the air show.

"I have participated in the imperial capital air show dozens of times, and I have seen a lot of various sales methods, such as some manufacturers in order to display their products, and even make a movie for mechas, hire various stars to do publicity, in short, use all the methods that can be thought of...... Cui Wen told Liu Yi about all the things he saw at the air show.

Liu Yi listened to the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said secretly in his heart: "Compared with other manufacturers, our preparation seems to be too simple, except for various technical information, there seems to be nothing else, so wouldn't it be left behind others?" ”

At this time, Cui Wen asked, "What did you prepare this time?" Say it and I'll give you an idea. ”

Liu Yi blushed and replied embarrassedly: "We only prepared product information, and the rest...... Not prepared. ”

Cui Wen shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said: "This is not good, this venue is very large, and there are thousands of exhibitors, if there is no eye-catching thing, others will not notice you at all." ”

"This ...... What are we going to do? Liu Yi hurriedly asked.

Cui Wen thought for a while and said, "If you want to do something else now, I'm afraid it's too late, maybe there's only one way." ”

"What's the solution?"

"You can sign up for the competition, and if you get a good place, it's more effective than any publicity tactic." Cui Wen said.

"Competitions? What competition? Liu Yi asked puzzled.

Cui Wen smiled: "It seems that you are really the first time, the competition, it is a mecha fighting competition, and every manufacturer can sign up to participate." It's just that...... Are your mechs ready to use? ”

Liu Yi thought for a while and said: "It's no problem to use, but I didn't expect to participate in this competition, and if I sign up now, I don't know how sure I can be." ”

"It's up to you, in fact, not every manufacturer will participate, after all, everyone is here mainly to show new products, in case the mecha is damaged in the competition, or the results are not ideal, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses, you think about it carefully."

At this time, Liu Yi's heart regretted very much, he knew that there was this competition, he should have brought a few more mecha to the exhibition, one for display and one for the competition, but now he only brought two over, and there are no products to display when he participates in the competition.

Cui Wen saw that Liu Yi's face was full of anxious looks, and persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to think too much, after all, it is the first time to participate in the exhibition, it is enough to show your products, and there will be opportunities in the future, take your time." ”

Liu Yi nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, this time I should increase my experience and accumulate experience for the future." ”

While talking, someone came to Cui Wen and said that there was something for Cui Wen to go, and the two had to break up and say goodbye.

Back in the exhibition area of Jieyi, Liu Yi's mind was full of the words Cui Wen said just now, and he felt regretful in his heart.

Tang Jie couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Liu Yi's sad face, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" I was still giggling just now, why is my face sad now, has something happened? ”

Liu Yi told Tang Jie about what he had just met Cui Wen. After listening to this, Tang Jie didn't have the slightest fluctuation, and said very calmly: "I thought you didn't plan to do those propaganda methods, it turns out that you also want to make some moves." ”

"Isn't it good to make a move? Don't you want to advertise our products more? Liu Yi asked rhetorically.

"I didn't mean that, I thought you planned to slowly expand the publicity in the future, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry."

"I wasn't in a hurry, but after listening to Cui Wen's introduction, I was a little anxious." Liu Yi explained.

"Anyway, it's too late this time, let's think of a way next time, it's the first time we participate, and it's good to let others know that we have this factory." Tang Jie persuaded.

"That's right, but I always feel a little pity, and it's hard to come here...... Otherwise, let's sign up for a fighting match. Liu Yi said suddenly.

"What! Are you stupid? Tang Jie said in surprise: "We only brought two mechas, what else do we have to show in the fighting competition?" ”

"If the results of the competition are good, isn't that the best show?" Liu Yi said.

"Who can guarantee this, if you go up, you will be beaten down, won't you smash your own sign?"

"Other participating manufacturers are not afraid, what are we afraid of?"

Tang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "You don't understand, other manufacturers are time-honored brands, and the ups and downs of competition results will not affect their sales." But it was the first time we came, and we smashed the signboard as soon as we came up, and we couldn't turn over for many years. If you don't know the situation of this competition, the newer manufacturers will not participate, and no one wants to fall on the road as soon as they get started. ”

After listening to Tang Jie's words, Liu Yi gradually calmed down, and had to admit that Tang Jie was right, but there seemed to be a voice in Liu Yi's heart that kept calling: "Fight, if you don't fight, who can remember you ......"

"Do you want to participate in the competition?" Liu Yi's heart was very hesitant, intellectually speaking, Tang Jie was right, but the inner voice kept encouraging Liu Yi, only if he dared to fight could he have a chance to get ahead, otherwise he could only grind slowly behind other people's butts.

Suddenly, Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I have decided!" Participate in this competition, don't try to attract attention without hard work, and I am very confident in your design. ”

After speaking, Liu Yi looked at Tang Jie with blazing eyes, waiting for Tang Jie to make her decision.

"Did you really decide you want to compete?" Tang Jie asked.

"That's right, I decided! What about you? ”

If Tang Jie would most likely refuse such a risky action, she thought she was a more rational person. However, for some reason, Tang Jie found that when he was with Liu Yi, he often made some irrational decisions, such as the decision to set up a factory in partnership.

"Do you really have that much faith in me?" Tang Jie asked again.

"Of course, otherwise why would we be here to exhibit?" Liu Yi said: "I believe that with your design, the mecha of Jieyi Military Industry will definitely shine in this exhibition." ”

Tang Jie bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, since you're not afraid of losing, then I'm not afraid either, let's sign up for the competition!" ”
