King of Industry

Mr. Jeffries, Mr. Ayton, I disagree with what you two just said. As soon as Zhao Guoyang spoke, his clear attitude suppressed the momentum of the two of Volkswagen Latin America.

Because of the previous understanding, the senior executives of Volkswagen Latin America are still quite afraid of Zhao Guoyang, a young man.

After he uttered a word of objection, the smile on Jeffries' face froze immediately.

He looked at Ayton, who was also dignified beside him, with some embarrassment, forced a smile and said, What's your opinion, Mr. Zhao, please speak up.

Zhao Guoyang nodded, and said calmly: Mr. Chen of the Songqi Group has already put forward our requirements for this new Santana, and Mr. Ayton has also confirmed that your company's product development department can meet our requirements. .That's right, right?

Ayton hesitated, then nodded.

Seeing that this person agreed with his statement, Zhao Guoyang continued: Well, the new model has requirements for the length of the body, and we have reached a consensus on this point. However, in my opinion, whether the production line platform should be redesigned There is no need at all.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Ayton couldn't help but exchanged glances with Jeffries, his face was shocked.

Without waiting for Ayton to speak, Zhao Guoyang continued: Mr. Ayton just said that in order to realize the extension of the wheelbase of the new model, a new production line platform must be equipped. I think this is too arbitrary.

In fact, most of the car models under the car companies have the ability to be platformized and generalized. As the world's top car company, I think Volkswagen should have considered this aspect.

Hearing this, the muscles on Jeffries' face twitched a little.

He could tell that this Zhao Guoyang was a monkey spirit at all, and he couldn't hide anything from him.

Seeing that people from Volkswagen Latin America did not raise any objections, Zhao Guoyang said with a smile: In my opinion, as long as your company's product development department takes this issue into consideration when designing new models, the lower body should be used as much as possible. On the premise of the parts of the original platform model, the wheelbase can be lengthened. Then the problem of the production platform can be easily solved.”

Zhao Guoyang paused for a while, turned his head to look at Ayton and said, Of course, considering that your company should try to maintain the original production line platform when designing new models, so in terms of design fees, we Songqi The group can give some compensation appropriately.

When Zhao Guoyang said this, he naturally considered the actual situation and did not let Volkswagen Latin America suffer.

Negating the introduction of the production line platform means that Volkswagen Latin America has lost several million dollars in revenue, and a certain compensation for model design fees can also make people feel a little better.

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, the senior management of Volkswagen Latin America fell into silence for a while.

On the other hand, Songqi Group, from Chen Bin, the technical director, to the few technical backbones below him, all looked at Zhao Guoyang with admiration, like a fan seeing an idol.

As for Mao Zhichun, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. If there were no foreigners present, he couldn't help but give Zhao Guoyang a big hug.

Zhao Guoyang's few light words can help Songqi Group save nearly tens of millions of dollars in funds. For such a credit, Mao Zhichun feels that he must find a way to reward him after he goes back.

After Zhao Guoyang made his statement, things gradually moved in a direction that was beneficial to Songqi Group.

The final negotiation result was very gratifying. Songqi Group obtained the commitment of Volkswagen Latin America to the design of the new model at a price of 1.5 million US dollars.

After the negotiation, when Mao Zhichun signed the contract with Jeffries, who was a little frustrated, Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing secretly.

Indeed, his appearance caused the chairman of Volkswagen Latin America to lose a lot of income, and his frustration is understandable.

However, from this point of view, the contract spirit of the Germans is still worthy of appreciation. At least they did not tear up the previous oral agreement because they failed to achieve a certain goal.

After seeing that the two parties signed the contract, Zhao Guoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Chen Bin and his technical backbones here, he doesn't have to worry about the new model design work below.

When leaving Volkswagen Latin America, Jeffries held Zhao Guoyang's hand tightly and was very moved.

Jeffries spoke highly of Zhao Guoyang, saying that he is the most powerful young man he has ever seen.

For Jeffries' compliment, Zhao Guoyang just laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

When it was Ayton's turn, he once again expressed to Zhao Guoyang his desire for the right to use his patent.

For this, Zhao Guoyang not only thanked him, but also solemnly made his promise.

As long as there is a result from the Sao Paulo Patent Office, I will discuss this matter with Volkswagen Latin America.

Zhao Guoyang's statement gave Ayton a feeling of lost in the east and harvested in the mulberry.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang's vehicle delay cooling system patent is what Ayton pays more attention to than the loss of millions of dollars on the production line platform.

After returning to the St. Paul Hotel, Mao Zhichun was very happy and invited everyone to have a sumptuous meal in the restaurant downstairs.

During the meal, Mao Zhichun specially toasted Zhao Guoyang for three glasses of wine and thanked him for his important contribution in the cooperation negotiation today. Chairman Mao also said on the spot that after returning to China, there must be another big thank you.

Zhao Guoyang didn't take this very seriously. He smiled and clinked glasses with Mao Zhichun and said, Chairman Mao, our family will not talk about each other. Since you gave me the title of 'special researcher' Treatment, I should do my duty, right?

Besides, I will go abroad with you for free, so I have to do something for you, right? Otherwise, I won't be a free-for-all autumn wind guest? Zhao Guoyang said with a bit of teasing.

Haha, if someone like you, Guoyang, were Qiufengke, then I would rather raise dozens or hundreds more. Mao Zhichun laughed heartily.

After chatting for a while, Mao Zhichun mentioned the return trip with Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang.

Now that the cooperation with Volkswagen Latin America has been finalized, Mao Zhichun is going to take the two of them back to Songjiang with Zhong Bo tomorrow.

As for Chen Bin and his engineers, they will definitely stay in Sao Paulo for a while.

After listening to Mao Zhichun's opinion, Zhao Guoyang pondered for a while and said: Chairman Mao, I can go back at any time after the cooperation is negotiated, but there is still a patent issue here, and it may take a day or two. , do you see?

no problem!

Mao Zhichun said disapprovingly, Then let's wait for you to settle the patent matter, and then go back together. Teacher Zhang, do you have any problems here?

It doesn't matter to me, anyway, I asked for a half-month leave with the school! Zhang Yufang joked with a gentle smile and shrugged.

It's good to be able to leave a few days later. It's rare to come out for a trip. It's just a chance to go around and buy some special products to go back.

After Zhang Yufang finished speaking, Mao Zhichun slapped his forehead and said, Ah, thanks to Teacher Zhang reminding me, I almost forgot.

Director Zhong, in the next two days, you will go to Sao Paulo to buy some souvenirs as a gift from Songqi Group to Guoyang and Mr. Zhang. You can't let the two go back and say that Songqi Group is stingy, right?

Okay, Chairman, I've written it down! Listening to Mao Zhichun's joke, Zhong Bo nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Guoyang watched the conversation between Mao Zhichun and Zhong Bo with a smile on the side, and he secretly approved in his heart.

Indeed, Mao Zhichun may not be particularly outstanding in terms of automotive expertise, but he is bold and generous, with strong market acumen, and he is really well-placed to sit in the chairman's position.

The main task of this trip was completed, and everyone was in a good mood. Everyone drank to their heart's content during the meal. They drank five bottles of red wine alone, not counting the ordinary rum given by the hotel.

As a result of all the eating and drinking, when everyone returned to their rooms, few of them stood still.

Although Zhao Guoyang was not drunk, he was a little dizzy when he returned to his room.

After lying on the bed, he fell asleep directly.

...

Early the next morning, Zhao Guoyang was awakened by the ringing of the phone in the room.

After he answered the phone in a daze, Suzanne's pleasant and magnetic voice came from inside.

Good morning, Zhao, did you disturb your rest?

Zhao Guoyang yawned and said, I'm not bothering you. It's just that I drank too much last night, so I'm still a little confused at the moment.

Hehe, that's just right, come to my house as a guest. The freshly ground Santos coffee at my house is very helpful for sobering up. By the way, help me take a look at that Ferrari and see if there is any hope of repairing it. Suzanne Said with a smile.

Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, anyway, the Patent Office would definitely deal with it immediately if there was a situation, and there was no need to rush, so he agreed.

Hearing that Zhao Guoyang agreed to her invitation, Suzanne couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She immediately said on the phone: Zhao, wait a moment, I will drive over to pick you up. Well, I will arrive in about twenty minutes.

Well, it's okay, drive slowly! Anyway, I have to wash up now. Zhao Guoyang said indifferently.

After coming out of his room, Zhao Guoyang ran into Zhang Yufang head-on.

Seeing Teacher Zhang's blushing face, Zhao Guoyang asked with a smile, Mr. Zhang, is the alcohol gone?

Zhang Yufang nodded embarrassingly: Well, it shouldn't matter, I'm going to find Director Zhong. He asked me to accompany me to buy souvenirs in the morning, Guoyang, do you want to come with us?

I won't go. Miss Suzanne will come to see me later. Zhao Guoyang scratched his head and said.

Zhang Yufang gave Zhao Guoyang a meaningful look, waved with him, and walked away lightly.
