Chapter 820 Oriental Style
The chief laughed: "He knows this, too? He really knows everything. Well, we need more comrades like him."

"Well, that's the situation reported by several ministries. Moreover, many of the cutting-edge products exhibited by several ministries this time were made by him. He is the one who can best grasp the direction in which these exhibits should be presented."

"Yes, it's a match for your major! It's a match for your major." The leader is becoming more and more reassured and curious about Gao Zhendong, a versatile man.

However, he did not want to invite him to meet him out of curiosity. He was busy with work, and such a sudden meeting would interfere with Gao Zhendong's normal work. In his opinion, things did not have to be so... how to say it, not so "vulgar", his ideas were always interesting.

Two days later, a group of foreign visitors gathered in front of a blast furnace, looking at the inspection records in their hands.

These inspection records cannot be considered test reports, but are just ordinary records of the production process. This is why they are more interested in them, because these are daily process data, not specially made reports. To some extent, these data can better reflect the effectiveness of the target technology in actual production.

Some guests who can speak Maozi were communicating with each other with their data. Only in this way can they communicate. For example, Professor Li Wei from Gaul could not join in because he could not speak the language.

"Many times, the quality of pig iron has been qualified, there is no problem with this, and it is very stable." This is the premise. Without this, everything else is nonsense.

"On average, the smelting time has been reduced a little, but the product quality has not been affected." The reduction in time means an increase in productivity, which is not much, but still very obvious.

"The amount of coke used has dropped significantly. Oh my God, I want this." If time is not a big problem for some people, then the issue of how much coke to use is a different story. Coke means money!
"Oriental people are so generous." Someone sighed.

"Yes, they are always so hospitable. Anyway, they really helped all of us a lot this time."

This is the effect we want to achieve, to be able to help them, and this is the purpose of our handling of this matter this time.

As for rewards, prestige and influence are the best rewards.

Seeing their satisfied looks, our comrades are also satisfied, it’s a win-win situation.

"Comrades, friends, I think you have noticed that we still have three days left in our schedule." At this time, our comrade stood on a high place and said with a smile.

"Yes, my comrade, I noticed it, but we don't really understand the schedule of this so-called 'product exhibition'. Why does it take three days? I didn't expect you to have so many metallurgical products." A person who should be from a country of economic assistance who once worked in the country asked in confusion.

In fact, many people have this question. In their opinion, as long as a piece of material is given and the performance, characteristics and parameters of the metallurgical products are listed, there will be no problem. Materials are not shocking if you only look at the finished product itself. There is no need to exhibit them, let alone exhibit them for three days.

"No, no, no, my comrade, you misunderstood. The scientific and technological products here are not just the achievements of the metallurgical industry. All our products are gathered here. If you have time, I strongly recommend you to take a look. Some of the products can be purchased by exhibitors at cost price. This opportunity is rare, and it is also a way for us to express our friendship. In addition, guests who go to this exhibition will receive a small souvenir from us."

High-end products like computers may be oversized for individuals, but they are quite suitable for some other consumer products. Except for some small souvenirs, it is impossible to give away other things for free. Business cannot be done this way, but it is okay to sell them at cost price.

This aroused the curiosity of some people. They had very complicated feelings about this mysterious oriental country, and most of them did not mind having the opportunity to learn more about it.

"The exhibition will start tomorrow. We will have cars to pick you up. Of course, if you are not interested in the exhibition, you can tell our staff and tell us what you are interested in. If it is allowed, we will provide you with all the conveniences."

A forced melon is not sweet. For those who really don't want to go and want to see the mountains and rivers, that's fine. Technical strength is publicity, and so is the beautiful mountains and rivers. Our main idea is to let people choose according to their budget. As long as it's not something you shouldn't see and you have enough time, we will take you wherever you want to go.

The guests were very satisfied with our arrangement.

When resting at night, many guests have different choices because of this.

"Davali, are you going to the exhibition tomorrow?"

"No, I won't go. I want to go and see the 'Great Wall'. I have wanted to do that for a long time but never had the chance. Their products are nothing good, except for computers. But computers are too far away from us."

"Today I asked them to go take a look at that mysterious steel mill..."

"Ha, Davari, you are so persistent." "But they didn't get permission. The reason was that it was unsafe. What a joke. The environment in their Beijing Steel Plant is just as dangerous, but they didn't give this reason. We were all inside."

"Maybe what they mean is that if you haven't seen that place, you are safe. If you see that place, you are not safe. The danger does not come from others, but from them." The Russian who wanted to see the Great Wall had a flexible mind and grasped the key to the problem.

Similar conversations and choices were repeated at the place where the guests stayed. The next day, when our several large buses drove here, more than 70% of the people still chose to go to see the product exhibition. After all, most of these people are technical people and have a natural interest in technological achievements.

When they arrived at the exhibition hall, they discovered that there were not only them but also people from their respective countries' foreign affairs departments.

There are also people who are not from the foreign affairs department. For example, Mr. Riviere saw Duval here. They have no obvious foreign affairs personnel here.

When they entered the exhibition hall, they were shocked at first sight.

This is a style that is different from all the exhibition displays they have seen: bright, simple, and crisp, yet not without embellishment.

With white as the background color, there are no complicated decorations, but there are some simple, modern and sharp environmental decorations. Simple lines with a unified style are used, but they do not overshadow the main theme, but only serve to create a good atmosphere. Various exhibits are still eye-catching and prominent, and these heavy-style exhibits form a good contrast with the simple and bright background, which makes people impressed at first glance.

Each themed area is clearly divided, and each booth is independent, forming a small space, but these spaces are connected in an orderly manner by specially planned walkways. Once you enter, you can see everything without looking back.

All booths use a large number of white translucent plastic light boxes, which contain fluorescent tubes of sufficient power, making the entire exhibition area appear bright and grand, but not dazzling.

"Wow~~~~~~ This is really beyond my expectation. I have a feeling that I will have a pleasant exhibition trip today. This kind of layout is enough for me to make this trip. I am looking forward to what we can see next." Rivière and Duval, who claim to be from the country of art, expressed their extreme appreciation for all this. This exhibition layout is itself a kind of art.

"Click", "click", the sound of camera shutters began to ring just after entering the door. Everyone felt the preemptive impact of this exhibition. Although they had not seen any exhibits yet, they were already shocked enough.

"This style makes me more curious about Oriental people. They don't seem to be as rigid and serious as we imagine."

“This country is huge, don’t generalize them with a stereotype.”

"..."

After these photos were brought back to their country, they had a significant impact on the layout of their respective exhibitions. This influence gradually gathered, and later this style was called "Oriental style", which was something Gao Zhendong had not expected.

"We don't know whether Mr. Gao Zhendong has talent in art. Maybe he just put more of his energy into science and technology, and didn't have time to take care of other things. After all, making the country safer, and letting the people have enough food and clothing, and live a more abundant life, were what their ancestors cared about more. But there is at least one thing we can be sure of, Mr. Gao must have his own unique insights in art. This can be clearly felt from the exhibition work of the first National Foreign Trade Products Exhibition he presided over. That style directly created a school, and even today, it still does not look outdated. Unfortunately, after that, it was basically rare to see the old man show his talent in this area again."

——The above is from "History of Domestic Installation Art", published in 2010.

Gao Zhendong: I brought my talents to the field of science and technology.

All visitors, after the initial shock, received a small gift at the entrance, which they couldn't wait to open.

"Wow~~~~~~" Duval felt that he had not been as shocked as he was today in the past month.

What appeared in his hand was a small plastic cube with solid workmanship and a strong technological style, with a few numbers on it.

Looking up at the big clock in the exhibition hall, Professor Li Wei was keenly aware that these numbers were exactly the current time.
