Chapter 847 Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition

February 2009 is another colorful month. This month, many dazzling 'strange things' have happened internationally, which makes many people overwhelmed, but many people have found a trace of unusual traces from these seemingly ordinary events.

But even so, time is still passing. What should have happened has happened, and what shouldn't have happened has happened. No matter what, countries still look forward.

In late February, the 9th Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition held in the capital of the United Arab Emirates was highly noticed and valued by all countries in the world.

As the world's top military technology display platform, each defense exhibition has attracted the participation of hundreds of defense companies from more than 50 countries around the world.

This year's Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition is still very lively. Although there have been some other regional defense exhibitions in the world, the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition is still a grand event in the international arms industry.

As a newly developed defense company, Star Group also had the honor to be invited by the organizer to participate in this defense exhibition.

On February 22, Li Jinfei, head of the sales department of Star Group and general manager of the energy company, arrived in Abu Dhabi with the military products that participated in the war.

Star Group has made a lot of preparations in advance for participating in the war. Many secret weapons that are not even equipped with the Somali Defense Forces are allowed to participate in the war, and they are not models, but real weapons and equipment without ammunition.

In the exhibition center with an area of 18,000 square meters, Star Group was divided into a booth. The location is not very good, but as a new defense company, being able to participate in this top event in the arms industry represents a kind of affirmation and honor.

Two days before the official opening of the defense exhibition, the mouse has been commanding the booth prepared by the staff of the Star Group. This time, the exhibits brought by the Star Group are 13 categories, from the 'Defendor A' Defender S' main battle tank and the 'Sparrow' light tactical helicopter, the small to the 'Star' assault rifle and The individual anti-aircraft missile, fortunately, the booth area prepared by the organizer was very large through communication in advance. After two days of preparation, it was finally arranged.

In a room of the hotel headed by Star Group, the mouse is making a final mobilization to more than a dozen employees. These more than a dozen employees, including technical personnel responsible for technical support from the scientific research department, receptionists responsible for receiving visitors, and other logistics staff.

"This defense exhibition is the formal first step for our group to go to the international stage. Everyone should do their own work in the spirit of twelve points." The mouse waved his hands hard to give the employees, "especially the receptionists, each of you has a high diploma. You have prepared a month for this defense exhibition in advance. I think everyone's understanding of the exhibits is not inferior to that of several technicians, so I hope you must be in the defense exhibition period. Always be humble and polite to receive every visiting guest, and to introduce the advantages of our products in detail to every guest who has questions and is interested in our company's products. Here, everyone should give full play to their communication skills. For example, after understanding the identity of the guests, they can combine with each other's representatives. The national political axe or organization provides some appropriate suggestions. Remember, just provide suggestions when needed, not for you to force customers to accept our products..."

Although the content of the words has been told to you many times by the senior management of the company, he still has to remind you several times. This is the first time that Star Group has participated in the defense exhibition, and it is also the world's largest defense exhibition, and no mistakes are allowed.

Although the mouse's words have caused a lot of pressure to everyone, because they have prepared a month in advance, everyone is still a little confident.

On the 23rd, the day before the opening of the Defense Exhibition, Abu Dhabi had gathered delegations and customers of military enterprises from all over the world. Unlike the European Defense Exhibition, the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition does not have many hard-name requirements for visitors, and never considers political issues. It is precisely because of this neutral attitude that the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition has become the leading military product display stage in the international arms industry. Like the European Defense Exhibition, there is no doubt that A little inferior.

However, the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition is not open to the public at will. Every day, except for those national political axes and representatives of relevant enterprises, there are basically no restrictions on the media, while for the general public, there are restrictions. After all, Abu Dhabi is a big city, and there are many international military enthusiasts. Although the exhibition center is large, it is also limited. It is impossible to fully open it to tens of thousands of people flock in.

The day before the opening of the defense exhibition, the mouse came to the exhibition center again to inspect the booth of the Star Group. Although it has not officially opened yet, there are still thousands of representatives and staff from nearly 900 defense companies around the world. Some familiar company representatives also took advantage of the lack of official opening to contact each other.

On both sides of the booth of Star Group, there are also booths of other companies. On the left, there is the booth of a Polish company. When the mouse passed by, he glanced at it. Although some of the exhibits were covered, he still found that the exhibits of the Polish company were basically concentrated in light weapons and so on. On the right side of the booth of Star Group is the booth of a military enterprise in China.

Although China is a big country, its share in the international arms market is not high. It is also in recent years that China's arms exports have gradually occupied some markets, while the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition is held every two years, and this year is the ninth session. For more than ten years, many established defense companies have basically participated in each defense. Wuzhan, such a strong and old-fashioned arms company, can naturally get the best booth, and the position of China's military industry enterprise, because of its short time to participate in such a defense exhibition, is not ideal.

At the booth of Huaxia, an arms company, the mouse saw a lot of exhibits, but he found that the large pieces, that is, those armored vehicles and planes, were all models, and only those small pieces were genuine. For example, in the position closest to the booth of the Star Group, Huaxia company shows a short-range missile defense system. Although even the armored vehicles and missile launch boxes below are very realistic, he can still see at a glance that this is an empty shell, that is, a model made of steel and other materials.

After checking the normality of the booth of Xingchen Group, the mouse walked towards the booth of this Chinese arms company. As a representative of the arms company, every company here is a competitor, but relatively, it is also a very ideal place to make friends. Usually, it is not easy to gather hundreds of defense companies together.

Because of observing the exhibits of this company in China in advance, except for several light weapons, there is basically no overlap with the exhibits of Star Group, so the mouse felt that it was possible to get to know the representatives of this company.

Zhao Haiyang is the representative of the sales office of Huaxia North Military Industry Group and the person in charge of the company's participation in the defense exhibition. Although most of China's military enterprises are 'state-owned', in fact, in the 21st century, many military enterprises in China have also been reorganized and become commercial groups with self-financing.

In this Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition, the representatives of Chinese military enterprises participated under the unified management of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, but after arriving here, the companies were still under their own management.

The Northern Military Industry Group represented by Zhao Haiyang participated in the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition for the second time. Every time, he carefully urged the employees to do their work carefully, because here, they not only represent the Northern Military Industry Group, but also represent the international image of Huaxia Military Enterprises.

In the past, and even now, China's military enterprises have a bad image in the world. Under the deliberate rendering of some Western countries, China's military enterprises are a large 'piracy base' with comprehensive surnames. However, as Huaxia military enterprises enter the world stage, this smeared image is gradually being reversed. Being a member of the industry, Zhao Haiyang feels that the heavy responsibility on him not only to promote the company's products, but also to let more people understand and accept Huaxia's independent research and development with independent intellectual property rights. Product.

Now, Zhao Haiyang is also inspecting the company's booth, because there are more products participating in the war, the booth is also larger, and his work is slightly more, but he is very satisfied to see the stunned and incredible eyes of the personnel of arms companies in other countries before passing through the booth.

Well, the sharp-eyed Zhao Haiyang saw another person walking towards the company's booth. At the first sight of the other party, he thought it was an employee of a Chinese company, because there were no booths in other Asian countries nearby, so where did the East Asian face come from? You should know that the defense exhibition has not opened yet, and employees of other companies rarely move around.

Looking at the Asian man in his thirties coming this way, Zhao Haiyang hesitated to greet him. He didn't know who came, but when he appeared here at this moment, he must be an employee of a defense company.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Outside the booth, Zhao Haiyang looked at the mouse with doubtful eyes and asked in English.

"Hello, I'm the representative of the Somali Star Group here. My name is Li Jinfei." Li Jinfei smiled politely in Chinese, "I'm here to get to know you, and I hope I can learn from you, because it's our first time to participate in the exhibition, and there are still many things that I don't understand. I hope you can teach me for the sake that everyone is Chinese."

The mouse's tone is very polite, and his posture is also extremely low. It's true to know friends, and it's true to consult some useful experience.

Somali Star Group? Zhao Haiyang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that isn't it the rise of an arms company in Africa in the past two years? As a representative of the sales office of military enterprises, Zhao Haiyang's usual work is not only to develop customers, but also to collect useful information from international defense companies. The important news of any military enterprises plays a reference role in the development of the company, and even some information is crucial to the company's adjustment of sales policies. The Somali Star Group was very popular in the arms world for a while last year. Later, although it calmed down, Zhao Haiyang still remembered that after all, Somalia is now very 'famous', and as the largest company in Somalia, it is difficult for Star Group not to be famous.

"Yes, don't be so polite. As you said, everyone is Chinese, and it's normal to be related to each other." The information in Zhao Haiyang's mind flashed away, and he also politely stretched out his hand and smiled.
