King of Industry

From the Governor's Mansion to the St. Paul Hotel where he stayed, the distance is only three to five kilometers, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to drive there.

After getting off the car, Luan Shengfeng helped Mayor Huang and the others take care of it, and after seeing the big guys on the elevator, he left first.

He also knew that after a busy day today, the leaders must have a good rest. It would be just annoying to stay in the hotel to catch the jet lag.

There are a total of 35 people in the delegation, divided into four suites and 17 standard rooms.

The four suites were naturally lived by the four ministerial leaders, Mayor Huang, Minister Yao, Minister Yu and Mao Zhichun.

Originally, with Mr. Li's prestige and rank, he should also live in a suite.

But when sharing the room, he proposed to share a standard room with Zhao Guoyang, saying that he had a lot of professional problems and he wanted to have a good chat with Zhao Guoyang.

When Mr. Li spoke, even Huang Zhigang didn't stop him, he could only let him go.

The four suites all have small conference halls that can seat more than ten people.

The room Zhao Guoyang and Mr. Li were assigned to was No. 1801, which was the standard room closest to the four suites. The reason why they were arranged to live in this room was also because it was convenient for the big shots to have a meeting or something.

Of course, it's getting late today, and everyone is exhausted, so it's definitely not possible to drive.

Before everyone entered the room, Huang Zhigang told everyone about the approximate meeting time tomorrow, and then let everyone disband.

After returning to his room, Li Kejian and Zhao Guoyang chatted a few words about going to Volkswagen and Latin American Automobile Company tomorrow, and soon fell asleep.

Old Li is not young anymore, and he is naturally weaker than the young man Zhao Guoyang in spirit.

After Zhao Guoyang washed up, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

On the first day he came to the Samba country, some things happened that were somewhat beyond his expectations.

From the words of Baptista, Governor of Sao Paulo State, Zhao Guoyang could tell that Samba State seemed to attach great importance to the Huaxia delegation.

It is said that the Minister of Finance of Samba will also come to Sao Paulo recently to meet and negotiate with Mayor Huang.

Zhao Guoyang was a little suspicious about what it meant.

Could it be that the country of Samba, which has always kept China at arm's length, has fundamentally changed its political strategy towards China? Zhao Guoyang couldn't help muttering to himself.

Because Samba is far away from China, and has always been used to self-sufficiency, in the previous life, Zhao Guoyang clearly remembered that the relationship between the two countries had always been very flat.

Even if a strategic partnership is established later, the relationship between them is not too close.

But now, the Samba country is uncharacteristically welcoming the visit of a senior domestic official. Obviously, the reason for it must not be simple.

The reason why he is so concerned about the strategic cooperation between Huaxia and Samba is that Zhao Guoyang is very aware of the potential of Samba.

Although in Latin America, Samba's economy has fluctuated with Tango's all year round, but in terms of development potential, Samba's economy is far greater than Tango's.

Just like the content of non-ferrous metals in the country of Samba has been proven to be several times that of the country of Tango.

And these are very important rigid indicators in the future industrial competition of various countries in the world.

If you can take advantage of this opportunity to come to Samba to get in touch with some information resources on non-ferrous metals, it will be very beneficial to Zhao Guoyang's future industrial plans.

Lie on the bed and thought for a while, but still had no clue, Zhao Guoyang could only slowly close his eyes and force himself to fall asleep slowly.

...

The next morning, when Zhao Guoyang woke up, the sun outside the window had already risen very high.

His eyes were stung by the gaze, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Just as he was about to squint for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look at the clock on the wall.

Zhao Guoyang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the clock pointed to the seven o'clock position.

In March, Sao Paulo was in summer, and the sun rose very quickly during the day. Although the sun seemed to be dazzling, the time was only seven o'clock.

After washing up, Zhao Guoyang got up and went out.

Outside the door, he happened to meet Li Kejian who was coming from the apartment.

Guoyang, are you awake? Let's go down and have breakfast. We will leave on time at eight o'clock in a while, and go to Volkswagen and Latin American Automobile Company. Li Kejian smiled and waved to Zhao Guoyang.

Uh, yes, Mr. Li! After hearing Mr. Li's words, Zhao Guoyang knew that it must be Chairman Mao's side, and he had already contacted the people from the Latin American Automobile Company, and he could go there at any time.

Talking and laughing with Mr. Li when they arrived downstairs, Zhao Guoyang found that the people from Songqi Group had already arrived and were sitting at a dining table, eating and chatting.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang coming down, Zhong Bo, Director of General Affairs Department of Songqi Group, stood up and waved to him.

After sitting at this table, Zhao Guoyang greeted several people from the technical department of Songqi Group, and nodded with Teng Fei, the German translator.

These people in Songqi Group already knew Zhao Guoyang's talent and ability very well. When talking to him, there is more or less a respectful attitude.

Guoyang, will Mayor Huang, Minister Yao, and Minister Yu follow us in a while? Zhong Bo asked in a low voice.

Hearing this question, Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: Well, we should be together. After all, the cooperation between Songqi Group, Volkswagen and Latin American Automobile Company is the reason why Mayor Huang came to Samba this time. Main event.

Minister Yao and Minister Yu have other tasks, but today is the first day of collective action, and they should go together.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's answer, Zhong Bo was slightly relieved. Seeing his expression, Zhao Guoyang was a little curious.

Zhong Bo said with some embarrassment: Hey, Guoyang, you may not know. The place we are going to in a while is not very peaceful. If Mayor Huang and the others don't go, and we take the car by ourselves, I am worried that there will be people on the road. Not safe...

After Zhong Bo finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang suddenly realized that Director Zhong was worried about the security of Samba.

Indeed, although Samba's economy is not bad, due to the large gap between the rich and the poor, the interior is very unstable, and the security is not very good.

Let’s just talk about the city of Sao Paulo. It’s not uncommon to encounter a few robbers while walking on the road.

Moreover, due to the Samba government's ineffective governance of social security and the slowdown in economic development in recent years, the security of several major cities in the country is deteriorating day by day.

In Sao Paulo, criminals often collude with each other, and even some government officials, police, and judicial personnel are involved. Many foreign tourists have also become the targets of these criminals.

Zhong Bo is so worried now, obviously he did some homework before coming to Sao Paulo.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang still has a better understanding of the Samba country itself than Director Zhong.

After the other party said this worry, he smiled and comforted: Director Zhong, you don't have to worry about this. Mayor Huang and the others have considered the issues you have considered early in the morning. Our delegation, all actions in Sao Paulo this time , will be accompanied by military attaches from the consulate.”

Seeing Zhong Bo's bewildered look, Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: Director Zhong, you may not know that diplomatic missions, especially military attaches, often have the task of commanding and supporting the country's intelligence activities in the host country. One point, basically all countries have agreed upon it.”

In other words, the military attaches in our consulate general are all armed forces. There is absolutely no problem in ensuring the safety of our trip.

Zhao Guoyang's explanation finally reassured Zhong Bo's heart.

Seeing Director Zhong and Minister Chen Bin of the Technology Department obey Zhao Guoyang's words, Teng Fei who was on the side had a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Originally, Zhao Guoyang didn't notice the attitude of the translator Teng Fei towards him. But when he turned his head, he happened to see this guy shooting over with strange eyes.

Seeing himself looking back, this guy shrank back evasively, and it seemed that he was harboring evil intentions.

Zhao Guoyang, who had known countless people in his previous life, naturally recognized the meaning in this guy's eyes at once.

Oh? This person is quite interesting. I don't seem to have any grievances with him, let alone any conflict of interest, right? What does he mean by looking at me like this? Zhao Guoyang thought, and didn't take it seriously .

After breakfast in the lobby, Zhao Guoyang saw that there were already ten cars parked outside the hotel.

In addition to the few commercial vehicles from yesterday, there were two military vehicles with license plates of the Consulate General accompanying them.

Needless to say, these two military vehicles are naturally the security vehicles used by the military attache of the Consulate General.

Before departure, Mayor Huang reiterated the discipline issue with everyone.

Basically, everyone is asked to obey the arrangements of the consulate staff on the road, and not to get out of the car without authorization.

After Mayor Huang finished speaking, he nodded to Luan Shengfeng and asked him to say a few words.

Luan Shengfeng didn't say much, he just told everyone not to bring too much cash with them.

In addition, it is to ask everyone not to bring cameras to prevent misunderstandings by people from other Latin American automobile companies.

After some explanations, Mayor Huang waved his hand, and everyone followed them out of the hotel.

Guoyang, you are still riding in our car! Zhao Guoyang was just about to get in the car with the people from Songqi Group when Huang Zhigang stopped him.

Uh... yes, Mayor Huang! After Mayor Huang called his name, Zhao Guoyang had no choice but to apologize to Zhong Bo and Chen Bin, and then walked quickly to Mayor Huang's car.

After getting into the commercial vehicle and taking his seat, Huang Zhigang said to Zhao Guoyang: Guoyang, today we are going to this automobile company for more than just visiting. More importantly, it is to combine the characteristics of the improved models that our Songqi Group wants with the The other party communicates well.

People in the technical department of Songqi Group may not understand this aspect as well as you. No way, you have to show yourself...

After Huang Zhigang said this, Luan Shengfeng next to him was stunned, and even forgot to say the following words.
