Leave the heavy rain, and then the light rain of Xiamen International Airport. Xiamen Airlines MF803 flight of Boeing 787 aircraft, after nearly ten hours of flight, today (May 23) at 9:30 am (Melbourne local time, Beijing time is 7:30 am) arrived at Melbourne Airport, Australia. I thought it would take a long time to enter Australia as it does in the United States and Germany, and the immigration officer would ask a lot of questions. But not but never thought, entering Melbourne is incredibly fast.
Citizens of the 27 agreed countries with embedded chip passports, including, of course, Chinese citizens, can quickly enter through a system called Kiosks. You put your passport into the agreed machine position, then answer a few questions, after passing, print out a clearance slip with the person's face, you can quickly enter the country, and more importantly, there are instructions in Chinese. I will not wait for the immigration officer to ask a lot of questions when I enter the country (it seems that I did not see the immigration officer today) and prepare a lot of information. However, the passport does not have an entry stamp, and in the future you may not be able to remember what year or month you entered Australia. The world is changing very fast, and this scenario is beyond imagination.
Entry is straightforward and takes a short time. But it takes a long time to rent a car, especially the problems of buying insurance. After taking the car, there is a very unaccustomed problem for us in China, Australia belongs to the Commonwealth of nations, its car steering wheel is on the right side of the car, driving is on the left side of the road, this is too unaccustomed.
David always drove very carefully, but still in a corner, habitually drove to the right side of the highway, fortunately, the speed is not fast, the local female driver from the opposite side, or staring big eyes, we were shocked.
China is north of the equator and Australia is south of the equator. When Xi 'an is hot in summer, Australia has just entered the winter, and the outdoor temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. The pedestrians on the street are also very messy, wearing shirts and down jackets, and some even wear T-shirts just out of the airport.
Melbourne's day, Melbourne's clouds, Melbourne's sky still attracted the eye of Gu Ge. We should not only compare the technology and industry of Chinese sensors and Australian sensors, but also compare the sky of China and the sky of Australia.

Today is the 24th. Friday's work day starts with breakfast. Our hotel, Mercure, still looked pretty good on the outside.
The room cost more than 1,000 yuan, including breakfast. However, to my great surprise, breakfast is not a buffet with a wide variety of dishes as we usually imagine, but a limited variety of orders.
Just look at this egg with salmon, two slices of bread, and a cup of coffee, 22 Australian dollars, more than 100 yuan. No more vegetables, no more fruit, no more cold water for free. There is heat without taste, perception without body sense, emotional appeal without benefits. It is not as good as two Chinese fried dough sticks and a bowl of soybean milk, which is more suitable for Gu's "Chinese stomach".
From 9:30 in the morning to 9:30 in the evening, I drove nearly 500 kilometers to visit the customers of two Xi'an Chinastar M&C Ltd., introduced our company's innovative pressure and temperature sensors, wireless Bluetooth integrated pressure and temperature sensors, and also introduced the Internet of Things and IoT hardware and software platforms, etc. Of course, it also represents the trend of sensors and Internet of things in Shaanxi and even China.
Among them, Company A is very interested in the iot technology and application of Zhongxing measurement and control, and also put forward typical problems that need to be solved in the construction of smart cities in Australia. We carried out technical exchanges on the spot and proposed feasible ideas and solutions for further docking research. This is a new problem and has a large market space. Hope to become a typical star iot technology settled in Australia.
Both customers have a high evaluation of the sensors of the Xi'an Chinastar M&C Ltd., hoping that the old products can further expand the scale of the transaction, and hope that the new products can provide new solutions, such as the liquid level sensor with adjustable display.

There are two phenomena in the communication with the customer visit worth Gu in this table. First of all, there are Chinese employees working in the production workshops or offices of the two customers, and they also greet us in Chinese in a friendly way, indicating that the proportion of Chinese in Australia's population is not small. Don't know this is worthy of our Chinese people happy? Or are you happy? You have your own opinions.
Second, the content is more profound, customers have mentioned that on the basis of further strengthening the cooperation with Xi'an Chinastar M&C Ltd., all hope that we can have a company outside China to provide them with high-quality products, mainly from the supply chain consideration, what are their concerns? Is it so serious politically?
Chat with customers during lunch and dinner and ask them the same question, how is the Australian sensor industry? The current situation of the development of the Internet of Things industry? The answers were almost negative, and they struggled to name the Australian sensor company or its famous product. Customer B's understanding of the Internet of Things is much more superficial than customer A, or we may contact different levels of customers. Of course, this is to promote the sensor Internet of Things industry and its innovative progress in Shaanxi Province and China.
It's the weekend, and I can't visit clients. After breakfast, I went to the supermarket and bought some fruit. Found that the famous fruit of Shaanxi is still quite high in Australia, and it does not seem to be made in China. Is that what the judges think? One Australian dollar each, buy five, you can save one A$.
