Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 38 Historical Responsibility
Before noon, the Red Star company's exhibitor group arrived at the provincial capital airport, and their bus drove directly onto the apron.

The face of Hongxing Company in Southwest Province is still very high, maybe it is because of the face of the army.

They took a Boeing 737-800 large passenger plane, and it only took more than 2 hours from the provincial capital to Haicheng.

It was Zhong Cheng's first time to fly by plane, and everything was novel, but when he asked, it was also the first time for Zhao Wei to fly.

Fortunately, Manager Li often travels outside, and flying by plane is commonplace, so he can answer questions for these two "bumps".

Regarding the two people's question about why they want to take the American plane, Manager Li reluctantly explained that the planes on the main domestic routes are either Boeing or Airbus, and they are all Western planes.

No way, Huaxia's plane can't do it.

Huaxia not only lags behind in military aircraft, but also lags far behind in civilian passenger aircraft. This is the direct consequence of the backwardness of heavy industry, which drags down the development of the aviation industry.

But Manager Li also reassured Zhong Cheng that Red Star Company mainly manufactures things that run on the ground, and those that fly in the sky will naturally be developed by others, so don't worry about it.

If Manager Li knew what Zhong Cheng was thinking now, he would definitely be shocked.

Zhong Cheng is now thinking, if his military drone is successful, can it be extended to civilian aircraft and take back "China's sky".

In the afternoon, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft landed at Haicheng International Airport with the Red Star company delegation.

Haicheng is the largest financial and trade city in China, with a population of tens of millions. Known as the "Pearl of China", it is a top-ranked international metropolis in the world today.

The busyness and modern facilities of Haicheng International Airport opened Zhong Cheng and Zhao Wei's eyes.

Following the exhibitors reluctantly walking out of the airport exit, they saw a huge banner head-on.

The banner reads "Welcome to the Haicheng Airport Expo!" in multiple languages. There are more than 30 people standing under the banner, looking at the airport exit with enthusiastic anticipation.

"They are so enthusiastic and sent so many people to welcome us!" Zhao Wei was very excited and very proud.

Zhong Cheng also felt the same way. He straightened the sportswear he was wearing, and felt that he was dressed a little casually.

Manager Li told him yesterday that he should not wear military uniforms for the exhibition in Haicheng this time, as it may cause a misunderstanding.

But Zhong Cheng didn't have any coats that could be sold, so he only came in a sportswear that was about [-]% to [-]% new.

Manager Li looked at Zhao Weiwei in surprise, but hesitated to speak.

The welcoming crowd, headed by a few leaders who looked like leaders, walked quickly towards the exhibitors, with smiles on their faces, kindness and dignity.

But just when Zhong Cheng and Zhao Wei also had smiling faces, the welcome crowd passed by the Red Star company exhibition group and ran behind them.

The smiles of the two froze, what's the matter?
Looking back, it turned out that this group of people was going towards a group of foreigners who came out of the airport exit behind them, and now they have greeted them very enthusiastically.

"Don't look at it, let's go, it's the exhibitor group of Deman Higers Company, we don't have such a big face."

Manager Li pulled the two of them back and continued to walk out.

"We also have someone to pick them up, but there are fewer people." He comforted the two of them.

Zhong Cheng looked up and looked ahead, and someone really came to pick him up.

A young man held a small sign with the words "Red Star Company" written on it.

There are too many people!
The staff member of the Haicheng Machinery Expo drove a bus, loaded the people from the Red Star company's exhibition group, and drove to the Red Star company's office in Haicheng.

The office is in the old town of Haicheng, and the bus passes through the city.

The high-rise buildings and the billowing red dust along the way are meaningless, but the cars running on the road made Zhong Cheng experience the feeling of falling behind and being slapped in the face again.

There are obviously more cars on Haicheng Street than in Beishan City and Longxing City, and they are also much more high-end. Mercedes-Benz and BMW are all common goods, and there are many luxury cars that Zhong Cheng can't name.

The most are Toyo cars, but there are not a few domestic cars.

Zhao Wei said that many Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars are also made in China, but the word "joint venture" must be included.

Zhong Cheng looked at Manager Li, didn't you say that Red Star Company manages the things running on the ground, why didn't you see how to manage it.

Manager Li was embarrassed, and explained that the company is vigorously expanding the passenger car market, and the country is also focusing on the development of domestic brands, and the situation will improve in a few years.

He didn't have much confidence in himself when he said this.

In recent years, because of his health, Zhong Cheng has had little contact with the outside world except for his studies. To put it bluntly, he has too little knowledge.

On the first day in Haicheng, his eyes were wide open, and he clearly saw the weakness behind Huaxia's prosperity, which made him more determined.

We must develop a strong country with heavy industry and develop science and technology to rejuvenate the country!

It is China's planes that fly in the sky of China, and China's cars run on the land of China.

This is the historical responsibility he must bear after he has the 'Great Power Heavy Industry System'.

He didn't know why the system chose him, but he knew his choice.

Red Star Company's office in Haicheng is very small, with only three offices, of course it cannot accommodate so many people.

However, the people in the office have already booked a room in a chain hotel nearby for the exhibitors, and the accommodation conditions are very good, at least Zhong Cheng thinks so.

In the next few days, Zhong Cheng, Zhao Wei and others got busy.

The machine tools transported by railway have arrived, and the task of these people is to assemble and debug the machine tools before the start of the exhibition.

Fifteen Shenshi series machine tools of various models plus one Nuwa [-]-series industrial master machine, the workload is still very heavy.

The Nuwa [-]-series industrial mother machine is a simple version specially designed for the civilian market. Its functions have been reduced a lot. It is only a five-axis single-station linkage CNC machine tool, which is "small and exquisite", but it is also ahead of the current world level, but it is not so shocking.

Zhong Cheng, Zhao Wei and more than a dozen staff members worked overtime and finally completed the assembly and commissioning work the day before the exhibition, and waited for the performance of these "folks" at the exhibition.

After the machine tool factory of Red Star Company has expanded in scale, the output of machine tools has increased several times. If Red Star Company’s internal machine tool iterations are completed in the past two years, it will face the problem of overcapacity, or even stop production.

That's why the company decided to open up the external market, even the international market, and make machine tool manufacturing another pillar industry of the company.

And this Haicheng Machine Tool Expo is the best opportunity for advertising. It would be even better if we can get some orders at this machine tool fair.

Mr. Wan, the leader of the exhibition team, explained the goals and expectations of this exhibition to the team members again at the mobilization meeting the night before the exhibition.

It's up to you tomorrow!
