Chapter 821 Arrival in London
Yang Ming, deputy general manager of Guifei Group.
He is the deputy head of the Chinese delegation and the person in charge of the Panshan Group to participate in the Farnborough Air Show.
As the person in charge, he has a lot to do.
First of all, he has to make arrangements and contact all parties to prepare for the arrival of the participating aircraft. After arriving in the UK, he has to keep in touch at any time to ensure that everything is safe.
Secondly, he has to ensure that everyone who comes out with him returns. If someone takes this opportunity to slip away and stays in the UK, then as the person in charge, he needs to be responsible.
This kind of thing has happened many times in recent years.
Many people are strongly shocked when they arrive in European and American countries, and then lose their way.
Coupled with the advocacy of some public intellectuals, many people have been affected by these remarks.
Finally, he has to take this opportunity to negotiate business.
It is true that Panshan Group is a giant in the international arms market and is doing arms business with many countries.
But it does not mean that it is doing business with all countries.
There are still many countries that do not recognize Panshan Group or even do not know Panshan Group.
The Farnborough Air Show is a great opportunity.
The cabin is very spacious. Yang Ming and several other colleagues sit together. This time, not all of them are from Guizhou Aircraft, but also from the headquarters or other companies.
Some people know each other, while others don't.
This time they will be on a business trip abroad for a month, so they naturally have to get to know each other well.
Yang Ming will not ignore others just because he has the highest administrative level.
Because he knows that maybe one of the young people among them will be on an equal footing with him in a few years, or even be his leader.
It is better to bully an old man than a poor young man!
This is the truth in the system.
The slim and beautiful stewardess pushes a cart to serve everyone.
It takes more than ten hours to fly from China to London, England. This is a real intercontinental flight. They will have three meals on the plane.
While eating the boxed lunch on the plane, Yang Ming and others chatted.
After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, the Boeing 747 passenger plane finally landed at London International Airport.
It was already evening in London, and it was not suitable for them to go to Farnborough at this time.
It takes about an hour to drive from London to Farnborough.
They will stay in London for one day and two nights to adapt to the time difference, and then go to Farnborough.
That night, they went to the hotel that had been arranged.
More than an hour after Yang Ming and his team arrived at the hotel, the people who set out from Beijing also arrived at the hotel.
The two sides met, and the delegation was complete.
The first time, the head of the delegation, Huang Yi, convened a delegation leadership meeting.
There was a head and three deputy heads of the delegation.
Huang Yi came from the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.
After the meeting, Huang Yi took the initiative to greet Yang Ming.
Panshan Group and the Ministry of Aerospace Industry have very close cooperation, and the two sides have carried out a lot of cooperation.
Huang Yi had previously worked in Panshan Group.
Huang Yi was entrusted with an important task for participating in the air show this time, and it can be said that he was under great pressure.
This is the first time that China has participated in an international air show, so it must be a hit and let the world look at it.
Although the Singapore Air Show is one of the three major international air shows, its influence is not big enough. After all, it has only been held since 1981. Compared with the two major European air shows, its historical background is much worse.
The three major international air shows are actually somewhat unworthy of their names. To be precise, they should be the two major European air shows.
The Paris Air Show is the world's largest and most influential international air show. It is held every two years. Since 1909, it has been held for dozens of sessions.
Next is the Farnborough Air Show. The Farnborough Air Show is a little smaller in scale and influence, but the gap is not too outrageous.
The Singapore Air Show is much worse than the two major European air shows.
Moreover, Singapore is just a small place, and there is no aerospace industry at all.
More importantly, the Singapore government has invested money in it, and major aerospace companies value the market in Southeast Asia and even Asia.
The two talked about participating in the Farnborough Air Show this time, and then they couldn't help but talk about the "Zhuhai Air Show" to be prepared.
The "Zhuhai Air Show" has been approved, and the two will serve as the heads of Zhuhai Air Show Group Co., Ltd. It can be said that they will be colleagues in a short time.
They came to the Farnborough Air Show this time for another mission, which is how to learn how to hold an international air show.
Panshan Group proposed to hold an international air show, believing that holding an international air show is indispensable for showing the strength of the country's aviation industry, promoting products, and international exchanges.
However, how to hold an international air show, China has no experience, after all, it has never considered this matter, and has never participated in an international air show, it is completely black and confused.
So this time participating in the Farnborough Air Show is also learning how to hold an international air show.
As the heads of the delegation, they will also be the heads of the "Zhuhai Air Show Group Co., Ltd.". They will be responsible for the construction of the "Zhuhai Air Show" site and the holding of the first "Zhuhai Air Show".
To be honest, many people are not optimistic about holding the "Zhuhai Air Show".
These people would never have thought that the Zhuhai Air Show, which China started to hold in 1996, later became one of the four major international air shows, on par with the Paris Air Show, Farnborough Air Show and Singapore Air Show.
At this time, there are always many people who lack confidence, thinking that China cannot compare with Europe and the United States, and the moon abroad is rounder than that in China.
"Comrade Yang Ming, how much money will your Panshan Group invest? Have you decided?" Huang Yi asked.
The 'Zhuhai Air Show' is held by the 'Zhuhai Air Show Group Co., Ltd.' and the venue is in Zhuhai, but Zhuhai does not have that much money, and the Ministry of Aerospace Industry is reluctant to spend so much money to build the air show site. As a result, Zhuhai provides the land and Panshan Group pays.
At present, Zhuhai has allocated 12 square kilometers of land for the air show center, and everything is waiting for the funds to be in place.
"The first phase of the project will invest 3 billion yuan, the second phase will invest 5 billion yuan, and the third phase will invest 3 billion yuan! The total investment will reach 11 billion yuan!" Yang Ming said, "When we go back, the funds for the first phase should be in place."
Huang Yi secretly smacked his lips.
"Isn't this investment too big?" Huang Yi couldn't help but say.
The investment in the construction of the venue alone is actually 11 billion yuan, which is simply appalling.
Yang Ming smiled. He was not only busy with the formation of the delegation and the formation of the "Zhuhai Airshow Group Co., Ltd." during this period, he also participated in the planning of the "Zhuhai Airshow Center."
You know how huge this "Zhuhai Airshow Center" is!
The entire "Zhuhai Airshow Center" includes a modern airport, and this modern airport alone covers an area of 1 million square meters.
In addition, a passenger bus station and a railway station will be built.
There are also parking lots and VIP parking lots, and the parking lot can provide 100,000 parking spaces.
As for the exhibition center, hotel, modern news center, etc., they are planned according to high standards.
The principle here is to either not do it or do it well.
