Consultation is actually a kind of information, but it is different from general information. Refers to information with a specific scope and purpose, often with certain economic value, which can only be obtained through some special channels. For example: tourism consulting, investment consulting, real estate consulting, stock market consulting and so on.
Because consulting is highly professional and has a specific purpose, specific institutions and organizations generally provide specific range of consulting services, such as employment consulting provided by employment centers, enrollment consulting provided by the Education Bureau, and meteorological consulting provided by the Meteorological Bureau.
Not all queries can be obtained by all people, and some queries can only be obtained by specific units, departments, organizations or even specific people, because some queries have certain political and military value or involve commercial secrets, which will cause serious consequences and losses if they are made public. Therefore, when we obtain or provide consulting services, we must pay attention to the content of consulting and the object of service.
