The next day, the Farming Machinery Expo opened as scheduled.
After a simple opening ceremony, each exhibitor took his place and began to prepare to welcome the visiting crowd. Learning from the lessons learned the day before, Cui Hongchun specially borrowed seven or eight translators from the embassy and assigned them to each company's booth to avoid further confusion.
There is a shortage of translators. The personnel of each company are fully alert, waiting for the grand scene to be crowded again.
But who would have expected that the preparations here were complete, and the expected crowds of visitors did not appear at all. The booths of the major international manufacturers were crowded with people, but the Chinese booth located in the corner of the exhibition area was deserted.
Occasionally, a few people passed by, but they just cast a surprised look at the "China" sign on the booth, and then hurried away.
"What's wrong with this?" Zhu Detai looked at this scene and shouted in surprise, "Yesterday I wanted to collapse my table. Why are there no ghosts today? Are these foreigners sick?"
"That's right, yesterday we didn't even set up the exhibition, but they rushed over to see it. Now we're all ready, but they didn't come. Isn't this just a joke?" Zhou Hongwen also shouted,
They used to often have meetings together, and they were used to yelling when something happened. In a wise saying of later generations, it was called yelling to be healthier.
Cui Hongchun also murmured a little in his heart. He stood outside the booth and observed for a while, then came back and said to his subordinates: "Don't worry, everyone. The people who came to visit today are all customers. They must first see the machinery. We are exhibiting
After all, they are just accessories. As for yesterday, those who came to visit us for consultation were all exhibitors. In my opinion, it is enough for us to do our job well as exhibitors."
"What Minister Cui said makes sense." Zhu Detai also came out and stood with Cui Hongchun, raising his thumbs and praising, "The minister is a minister, and he looks at problems profoundly. Big guys like us can't understand these twists and turns.
I’m just too anxious here.”
"You're such a bigot, why did I hear that you got a diploma from a party school?" Cui Hongchun joked with a smile.
"Haha, isn't that to meet some intellectual requirements? It's just to deal with errands." Zhu Detai said modestly.
Since no one came to visit the Chinese exhibition area, Cui Hongchun simply informed a few people to stay on duty in turns. The remaining people visited the exhibition area freely and took the opportunity to learn about the advanced technologies of foreign companies. Companies such as Shannan Agricultural Machinery Factory and Northern Agricultural Machinery Factory
, although the products brought out this time are only basic parts, they themselves also produce large-scale machinery. It is also valuable to see the achievements of their peers at such a large-scale expo.
Qin Hai sat at the booth for a while. He also felt very bored, so he asked Cui Hongchun for leave. With tranquility, Qin Shan and Qin Shan wandered around the exhibition area. He was not very interested in agricultural machinery products, and was more interested in agricultural machinery products.
Let the two girls broaden their horizons and find opportunities to practice their spoken English. They will soon enter college. Having such an experience will be very beneficial to their development in college.
In a corner of the exhibition area, the durability test of basic parts conducted by the organizing committee is continuing. Through the glass cover, the noise of the test is still clearly audible, but the merchants coming and going have not noticed what is going on here.
, in their opinion, the source of these noises may just be a generator room or an air conditioning machine room. In short, it should be a place that has nothing to do with the products on display at the expo.
Only a few people will look at the inconspicuous digital display next to the test point from time to time. There are strings of numbers on it that are constantly beating. Only knowledgeable people know that these numbers represent those who are being tested.
The durability life of the basic parts, which is converted into hectares after testing on the machine.
"Kenan Company's plowshare service life has been improved compared to the last exhibition. The current number is 140 hectares. I think they can at least reach more than 160 hectares..."
"I heard that they used a new type of steel. The cost of the plowshare has increased by more than 30%, making it completely uncompetitive."
"...Magill Company brought ceramic rotary blades this time, and the current test results have reached 240 hectares."
"Ceramic knives are more of a concept. No one can solve the problem of insufficient ceramic toughness. If you use such knives, you can only pray that you don't hit rocks when plowing."
"Have you heard? The Chinese also brought a ceramic basic piece this time, which is a disc rake blade."
"Of course I've heard about it. To be honest, I'm very interested in this product."
"Yes, I have always wondered how they solved the problem of sharpening ceramic knives. In fact, the best application area for ceramic knives that can be sharpened is not rake blades, but table knives."
"Haha, a table knife like this must not be cheap, right?"
"..."
Similar conversations are going on among insiders in many companies. As industry insiders, they all know what the quality of basic parts means. Compared with large-scale machines, the price of basic parts seems very cheap and seems to be insignificant. But
In fact, the purchase of large-scale machinery is a one-time purchase, while basic parts must be continuously replenished, which is a typical "small product, big market".
The structure of the basic parts market was relatively stable in the past. The main market was basically divided up by more than a dozen large Western companies. The remaining small products supported some small and medium-sized enterprises. At this expo, there was a sudden killing.
There is such a dark horse in China, which has launched its own new products on various types of basic parts, and the performance indicators marked are staggering, so people in the industry cannot help but care.
The first day of the exhibition passed like this. The performance of various Western companies at the exhibition was remarkable, but the Chinese delegation could only be described as empty. When they returned to the hotel after the exhibition, everyone's faces were a little gray.
Only Qin Hai and the two little girls were happily walking and laughing, looking very careless.
"Xiao Qin, why are you so happy?" Cui Hongchun couldn't help but want to make Qin Hai complain.
"I took the two of them around various booths, and they are now able to communicate with foreigners in English very comfortably. By the way, Xiaoning also made a German friend, who is also a girl, and the two of them made an appointment.
Keep communicating." Qin Hai explained with a smile.
"You guys are really good. All your pen pals have been sent abroad?" Cui Hongchun sighed with emotion, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Xiao Qin, what do you think of our performance at this exhibition? Why do I feel like foreign businessmen?
Don’t you pay much attention to our Chinese products?”
"Really?" Qin Hai asked casually. When he was wandering around the venue, he often heard exhibitors discussing Chinese products privately, so he felt that Cui Hongchun's statement that others did not pay attention to Chinese products was an unnecessary worry.
. However, thinking that Cui Hongchun had been guarding the stall and might not have understood the situation, he smiled and said, "Minister Cui, don't worry. You only see two feet of mud when you get out of the water. The fun is yet to come."
"What's going to happen next?" Cui Hongchun scolded angrily.
Qin Haidao: "Minister Cui, do you think I was just playing around at the venue? In fact, I went to see the basic parts made by manufacturers from other countries. The life test of basic parts conducted by the organizing committee is still in progress, so far.
More than half of the products have already been eliminated, but ours is still on the list. In another day, I guess the situation will be clear, and by then, it will be our turn to sing."
"Really? More than half of the products have been sold out?" Cui Hongchun finally had some joy on his face.
"Let everyone wait in peace for one more day. Our booth will be lively again the day after tomorrow at most." Qin Hai predicted optimistically.
In fact, the exhibition has just entered its second day, and the number of products remaining on the list is already less than one-tenth. Most of the basic parts participating in the test have shown obvious wear and tear and have reached their ultimate life span.
The basic parts treated by the surfacing process brought by the Chinese delegation have been tested, and the test shows that the service life is basically similar to similar foreign products. But even so, this result is enough to make some international agricultural machinery dealers tempted.
Because with the same durability and lifespan, the price of Chinese products is very advantageous.
What is surprising are the products that are still on the list and have not yet completed testing. Among the total 16 products, products provided by the Chinese delegation actually occupy 13 seats. More and more agricultural machinery manufacturers and
Dealers began to gather around the test points, looking at the rising numbers, while silently reciting the product names and durability values so far that these numbers corresponded to:
"Sellers of cakes, what the Chinese say is true, their rakes can really have a lifespan of 300 hectares!" Hibbs stood in front of the digital display screen and stared at Torv who had just arrived from France.
Dalton, chief engineer of Sen Company, said.
Dalton said: "Mr. Hibbs, shouldn't we pay more attention to the ceramic rake blades they produce using zirconia? I noticed that the service life of this rake blade has reached 623... No, it has become 624
Hectares. You said that their rake blades have sharp edges."
"I swear on my fingers, their ceramic rake blades are very sharp." Hibbs raised his gauze-wrapped finger and said gloomily.
"But how did they do it?" Dalton asked.
Hibbs shrugged and said: "How do I know? I'm not the chief engineer. In addition, I remind you, Mr. Dalton, metal rake blades are more competitive. You should think about them.
Why can we use high manganese steel to make rake blades that are durable for 300 hectares?"
Dalton was well-informed and he said disdainfully: "It's very simple. Didn't you see? They used titanium nitride to make a coating on the surface of high manganese steel. This process is called plasma spraying. Generally,
It is used in aerospace. The Chinese have always liked to pursue this kind of honor, but I bet that the price they ask for each rake blade will not be less than 40 US dollars, otherwise they will suffer a big loss."
