At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the biennial Zhuhai Air Show finally kicked off. Everyone who participated in the exhibition, whether they were exhibitors or customers, clearly felt that the scale of this year's air show was larger than any previous one.
Not only were there many exhibitors, but many exhibitors that were rarely seen before also came to participate, and they also brought some weapons and equipment products that were rarely seen at the Zhuhai Air Show before.
Because there were so many exhibitors, it attracted a large number of customers. In addition to some customers who really want to buy something, there are also many who are just here to join in the fun and take advantage of the opportunity to pick up bargains.
In addition, this has also become a carnival event for many military weapons and equipment experts, media reporters and military fans to get in touch with cutting-edge military technology.
The air show hadn't even started yet, but a group of reporters took pictures with their cameras. There are also some so-called military weapons and equipment experts who are also being interviewed.
As important exhibitors, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun were naturally invited to attend the opening ceremony as important guests. Because of their young appearance and special identities, the two have attracted much attention from the media, and many media even gave them a close-up for several seconds.
After the opening ceremony, the air show officially began. This year’s Zhuhai Airshow will last for five days in total, with the first three days being professional days and the last two days being open to the public.
Although the time is not as long as the previous air show, the scale is definitely unprecedented. Moreover, the public open days are also compressed, and the professional days have not been reduced.
There is actually not much difference between the so-called professional days and public open days. The main reason is that the objects they face are different, and the purposes are naturally different.
The visitors of the Professional Day are mainly business negotiations, cooperation, exhibitors, relevant military professionals, and international weapons and equipment experts will also appear at this time.
In addition, the items displayed on the professional day are relatively complete. For example, some weapons and equipment or joke-related technical products that are not suitable for public display will also be displayed on the professional day.
After the professional day is over, these weapons, equipment and related technical products, as well as some confidential or undisclosed information will be removed before the public opening day.
Generally speaking, during the professional air show days, there won’t be too many flight performances, and they will usually be static displays. But it’s not guaranteed, and there may be customers who want to take a look at it in person.
Compared with flight performances, some ground weapons will be relatively more dynamic for the time being.
As for the public open day, to put it bluntly, it is open to the general public. This is also a benefit of many exhibitions to the local people, and it is an excellent window for national defense education and patriotic education to the people.
Of course, in recent years, such exhibitions have also played a role, that is, exhibition tourism revenue projects. Through such large-scale exhibition activities, we can attract tourists and develop the exhibition tourism economy.
In addition, this kind of public open day is also a business way for exhibition organizers and venues to generate revenue and profits. Normally, an exhibition ticket for a public open day costs four to five hundred yuan, and the number of people attending such large-scale international exhibitions can reach tens of thousands every day, so after these two open days, Income is still very objective.
In addition, in recent years, with the continuous expansion of the scale of the Pearl City exhibition, the domestic and international influence has continued to increase. Therefore, in addition to attracting a large number of weapons and equipment defense companies and airlines to participate, it also attracted a large number of private enterprises to participate.
These private enterprises will also take the opportunity to promote and sell some products to the public, and their main styles or sales targets are still these military enthusiasts or military enthusiasts.
For example, military fans generally like the hard-core off-road vehicles developed from military vehicles. Many military vehicle companies have even launched civilian versions of military vehicles for this group of people. In fact, the weapon systems on the military vehicles are removed, such as anti-aircraft machine guns or howitzers mounted on the roof.
In addition, some sensitive equipment will be removed, such as vehicle communication terminal systems and so on. Even for a higher riding experience, some comfort adjustments will be made on the original basis of the military vehicle.
For example, the hard seats on the original military vehicles were replaced with more comfortable soft seats. It is also possible to remove the original bulletproof steel plates or bulletproof glass on some military vehicles. This can reduce the weight of the vehicle body, thereby saving more fuel and enhancing the off-road performance and passing performance of civilian military vehicles here. On the other hand, it can greatly save costs, reduce selling prices, and enhance market competitiveness.
Anyway, this thing is not needed for civilian use, so I went directly.
In addition to this type of vehicles, there are also other sports, outdoor, extreme and other related equipment products. The market for these things is relatively narrow and they only target a small group of people.
It is precisely because the market is relatively small that the prices of such products are very high and the profits are very generous, attracting many companies to enter this field.
Also, there are some related large-scale equipment. Since it is an air show, airplanes are naturally indispensable.
In addition to the large number of military fighters, drones, transport aircraft, and armed helicopters displayed dynamically and statically at the exhibition. There are also many civil aircraft products.
In addition to large civil aviation aircraft, such as the C919 large regional airliner promoted by our country, and the new MA700 turboprop regional aircraft, there are also private aircraft for civilian use, various small civilian aircraft, helicopters, and even some drones. etc.
In addition to aircraft, there are also yachts. In addition to various types of yachts, this exhibition also displays everything from small fishing boats to large luxury yachts. The companies participating in the exhibition range from domestic companies to internationally renowned yacht companies, and everyone hopes to use this exhibition to expand their markets.
In addition, there is a special type of exhibits at the exhibition, which can be used for both military and civilian purposes, and that is the aerospace technology industry.
There are many aerospace technology companies participating in this air show. In addition to the national aerospace industry, there are also civilian commercial aerospace companies, mainly Haoyu Technology, and many foreign aerospace technology companies.
Among them, apart from the aerospace industry, the most dazzling one is naturally Wu Hao's Haoyu Aerospace. This time, in order to better display their aerospace technology products, Wu Hao and the others also specially designated an area to display related aerospace technology products.
The most eye-catching ones are naturally the large-scale physical rocket models and some of the physical exhibits. This time, Wu Hao and the others not only exhibited many large-scale realistic models, but also brought some actual aerospace exhibits.
For example, in order to promote their aerospace industry, Wu Hao and the others deliberately displayed the actual return capsule of their space manned spacecraft this time, which naturally attracted strong attention from many people.
