Chapter 821 The guests who were broken
“Is this a watch? A high-tech product that uses electronic technology to drive timekeeping!”

“See? It says here that its error is no more than one second a day. My God, my best mechanical watch can’t reach this level. Even if they cost me 30,000 dollars.” As a member of the “Chamber of Commerce”, Duval earned a lot of money.

“How light it is! Look, it’s even waterproof, dustproof, and vibration-proof! This makes my mechanical watch look like a piece of junk.”

As the latest high-tech product, today’s electronic watches are not affected by the inherent impression of cheapness and popularity at all. At this time, it is the synonym of high-tech that is most within the reach of ordinary people, and the halo above its head is very bright.

Professor Duval and Riviere enthusiastically put the electronic watch on their other hand. There were many people who did the same thing as them. Of course, there were also some people who didn’t have their own watches, which made them look more normal.

Poverty has made me excellent.

However, some people think more than them, such as military counselors from foreign affairs agencies.

“One second a day? If that’s true, then we can at least buy some and distribute them to our army.”

“No, no, no. As long as its accuracy is not worse than that of current mechanical watches, you can purchase it. The reliability of this device is much better than that of mechanical watches. Moreover, it does not even need to replace the battery for a year and does not need to be wound up.” Another counselor shook his head.

Automatic mechanical watches have a higher failure rate, and hand-wound watches are more reliable. However, with this small piece of plastic on your hand, you don’t even have to worry about it for a year.

The back cover of the watch case was tightly sealed, so he was reluctant to open it. However, he put the electronic watch to his ear and listened carefully for a long time, but he did not hear any sound. This meant that there were no mechanical moving parts in the electronic watch. It seemed that the statement in the watch manual that this watch was extremely reliable had a theoretical basis. Without moving parts, it was inherently much more reliable.

“This is really a savior for my wife. She always forgets to wind up her watch. I think she will be very satisfied with this gift. This small gift makes me look forward to this exhibition even more.” A foreign guest said with a smile.

This was also Gao Zhendong’s idea. If an electronic watch is used as an exhibition souvenir decades later, it might not be that interesting. But if it is used as a souvenir at this time, it will be a direct blow to all the guests. No, it will be a good start.

The technological content is high enough, it is rare enough, the performance is good enough, the characteristics are distinct enough, and the cost is not high, so you won’t feel bad about giving it away.

To put it bluntly, Gao Zhendong is using cheap products to bully foreigners who have never seen such high-tech things. In his hometown dialect, it is called “these high-tech bumpkins have never played with this kind of ‘style’.”

This cost-effective trick had a very obvious effect. The expectations of all the guests were raised to a very high level, and their curiosity and confidence in the exhibition were also maximized.

The Russian metallurgist looked at the electronic watch on his hand and walked in while laughing with his colleague: “I feel a little sorry for the Davari who climbed the city wall. He must be very regretful that he didn’t come here.”

“He still has another chance tomorrow. The exhibition lasts for three days. But on the last day, I also want to climb that famous city wall. It is so famous.” The colleague laughed.

“Let’s go together. Let’s go to the exhibition first.” The metallurgical expert said with a smile.

Otherwise, why did we set the exhibition duration to three days? It is to give those who didn’t come a chance to regret it.

When entering the exhibition, people dispersed, each of them might be interested in different things, so they stopped at different places and for different times, and the flow of people gradually dispersed.

In the exhibition area, various exclamations were heard one after another.

This is where?

Is this still the country that we remember as having backward technology and weak infrastructure?

Have we arrived in the future?

This is not the future, this is the present, and some very down-to-earth exhibits brought them back to reality.

such as……

Window paper-cuts, New Year pictures, textile handicrafts, ceramic products, etc.

Since it is a foreign trade product exhibition, it cannot be all high-tech. There still needs to be something to relieve the greasiness. This was also Gao Zhendong’s idea.

If we say that Suzhou embroidery and other textile handicrafts can be sold for money, the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Trade can understand that they look beautiful and are originally exported products.

As for ceramics, it has always been one of the strong export products. For example, in the name of the Cifei Factory, what most people can remember and understand is the word “porcelain”.

But can paper-cut window decorations be sold for money? Can those big-headed dolls holding bighead fish be sold for money? Are you kidding me? Such rustic things.

However, Gao Zhendong’s words gave them some enlightenment, and they decided to put these things at the exhibition. After all, the exhibition booth is also a resource, and if you put one thing there, you can’t put that.

——”What is national is also global.”

Don’t underestimate yourself. Products with national characteristics may sell better than many common products and have a higher price. More importantly, they may also have better publicity effects.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Gao Zhendong was right. Although these things were not high-tech, foreign guests really liked them. Many of them stopped in front of the booth to watch and lingered.

——It’s so much fun.jpg.

Of course, these are just embellishments and supplements, and the real big part is still in scientific and technological products and electromechanical equipment. The agricultural sector and the 11th Ministry of Machinery have brought in a lot of agricultural machinery and so on. Food is the first necessity of the people, and we are a big agricultural country.

It’s no wonder that many guests are very interested in these things.

It’s not that they are so advanced. It’s hard for ordinary people to see their advanced nature. But what’s important is that while their performance is sufficient, they are also cheap and light enough.

Many economic aid countries and developing countries also have large tracts of plain farmland, and the demand for agricultural mechanization is also urgent. Although this thing does not look very advanced, it is not something that everyone can do if it is cheap and easy to use.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are videos on the Internet every day after Gao Zhendong’s death, mocking the “Peshawar industry”. In fact, there are very few countries today that can reach the level of Peshawar’s industry.

The good thing about these things is that they are sufficient, but they are also cheap and have a long lifespan.

The 6011 campaign played an indispensable role here. Although these agricultural machinery may not seem to have any outstanding features at first glance, the materials are good enough and suitable enough, and even slightly exceed the standards. As a result, these inconspicuous agricultural machinery equipment are not only cheap, but also have good nominal lifespan and reliability.

However, the manuals of these agricultural machinery products almost made many metallurgical experts curse out loud.

Such a waste!

The instruction manual contains a list of materials for the main spare parts and core components. This list is the reason why they were able to breach the defense.

“Oh my god, they actually used steel with such high mechanical properties in a place like this, and it’s even anti-corrosive!”

“I just don’t see the need to use this level of material, it’s a joke.”

“Has their steel metallurgy level reached this level? This kind of steel is enough to be used in armored vehicles!”

“What a waste! What a waste!”

“…”

The guests who were cursing out of shock were really upset. Now they knew why the nominal lifespan of these things was so high.

This is just pure piling up of stuff! It’s so shameless!

The military counselors of some small countries whose technology is not so advanced but still has some technical foundation even had some ideas after looking at this list.

We might as well buy farm machinery, melt it down and recast it into armored vehicle shells, or reforge and roll it for use elsewhere.

Of course, this unreliable idea was put to rest after being popularized by metallurgical experts in the country.

Looking at their expressions, our comrades on the platform were a little puzzled. Even if they don’t like the products and don’t want to buy them, there’s no need to be angry. These foreign comrades are really hard to deal with.

To make do is not to serve.

However, there are still some who are willing to make do. Many guests from developing countries are really interested in these things. They are not really interested in large-scale machines such as combine harvesters, as they cannot afford them and may not need them. However, these small agricultural machines with full characteristics are really their favorite.

Those that can climb and walk on harsh terrain, those that can work in paddy fields, those that are small and flexible enough, and those that can work in hilly areas…

It can be said that even they themselves did not expect that this thing had so many features. It was only after they saw these machines that they realized, hey, this thing can be used in our place, and it is quite useful.

It is indeed a big agricultural country with diverse terrain. They basically have all kinds of terrains, various conditions, and various crops. They have taken them all into consideration, even more thoroughly than I have.

For some countries with backward farming technology, it is like buying a machine and giving away farming technology. Although our current technology is not advanced, it is still much more advanced than some developing countries, at least we have seen a lot of the world.

Among all kinds of agricultural machinery, the most popular one is something that no one expected, but Gao Zhendong firmly suggested to disassemble and sell separately.

——Single-cylinder diesel engine.

As a severe internet addict in his previous life, Gao Zhendong, who used the Internet intensively, knew too well the superiority of this thing. It was simply a magic weapon for ordinary people.

Connected to different backend devices, this thing can do an astonishing amount of things.

It can generate electricity, pull carts, pump water, and grind mills…

As the most basic and simplest power equipment, this thing has many uses and a wide range of applications. For ordinary farmers, if you have a single-cylinder diesel engine, you will be the coolest guy in the neighborhood.

It’s not that the technology content of this thing is very high, but as long as it is made of good materials, this extremely simple structure is the most suitable for developing countries.
