King of Industry

It was already ten o'clock in the evening after I had a general chat with Jin Xiuzhu about the cooperation intention in the lithium battery.

Zhao Guoyang looked at the time, raised his head and reminded Miss Jin: Miss Xiuzhu, it's getting late now, let's talk about this first.

Jin Xiuzhu let out a huh and said reluctantly, That's fine, let's do it like this for today.

Let's sit down and have a good talk after you finish dealing with the 'Skoda Automobile' side.

Oh, right!

Jin Xiuzhu seemed to think of something, and said excitedly: I heard from friends that we in South Korea have released visas for Chinese citizens.

Guoyang, see when it's convenient for you to come to Seoul. After all, the construction of the 'lithium battery' research institute is not a trivial matter. I must have my father report it and get his support.

Jin Xiuzhu spread her hands helplessly and said, But you don't know how stubborn my father is.

Anyway, I don't have the confidence to persuade him by myself. When the time comes, I'll definitely have to get you, a 'wisdom star', to do it!

Hearing that Miss Jin gave herself the nickname of Smart Star, Zhao Guoyang smiled for a while.

Miss Xiuzhu, your level of Chinese literature has improved again. You even know Wu Yong, the 'wisdom star' in the four great classics?

After Zhao Guoyang asked this question, Kim Soo-joo looked blank: Uh, of course I know about this. The director Yin Zhongbin said in an interview that he was inspired by your country for the TV series Group Thieves that we filmed recently in South Korea. Water Margin...

Oh? Is there such a thing? After hearing Jin Xiuzhu's words, Zhao Guoyang was a little inexplicably surprised.

Before his rebirth, Zhao Guoyang didn't have much affection for South Korea, a country that likes to plagiarize.

Whether it is Confucius or Dragon Boat Festival, this country can be said to belong to them.

Now there is a director who said that the TV series he made was inspired by traditional Chinese literature, which really caught Zhao Guoyang by surprise.

Shouldn't this director say that Water Margin was also written by South Koreans? Zhao Guoyang secretly slandered.

Declining Jin Xiuzhu's farewell, Zhao Guoyang set foot on the way back by himself.

The main city of Prague is actually not that big. Zhao Guoyang came out of the Louvre Cafe and walked for about 20 minutes to the embassy.

After entering, Zhao Guoyang was just about to take the elevator up to the third floor when he was stopped by a voice behind him.

Researcher Zhao, please wait a moment!

Hearing this voice, Zhao Guoyang quickly turned his head to look at the other party.

Tang Xing, the secretary of the embassy, ​​was standing behind him with a smile.

Ah, Secretary Tang, hello, hello! Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, and then went up to shake hands with the other party.

After a few words of gossip, Tang Xing explained the purpose of his visit with a smile.

Researcher Zhao, that's right. Ambassador Meng, Minister Gu, and Head Du are still having a meeting in the conference room on the first floor.

Several leaders asked me to guard you here, saying that when you come back, I must take you to this meeting. You see, it should be convenient now...

Uh, convenient and convenient!

Although Zhao Guoyang was a little sleepy at the moment, but Secretary Tang's duty was, of course, he couldn't blame him, so he agreed immediately.

Tang Xing nodded in relief and said, Researcher Zhao, please follow me!

When he followed Secretary Tang inside, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help muttering to himself.

On the embassy side, in the evening, Huaxia's overseas students and entrepreneurs in Czechoslovakia should be invited to have dinner together.

The dinner party is over, so it should be over early, why is there another meeting now?

Tang Xing's ability to observe words and emotions is still very good. Seeing Zhao Guoyang's puzzled look, he smiled and explained.

Researcher Zhao, Ambassador Meng organized this meeting after receiving feedback from Czechoslovakia's Deputy Foreign Minister Mr. Kelmenchik at night.

It seems that Mr. Kelmenchik has already arranged for our Chinese delegation to meet the boss of the 'Skoda Automobile Company' in advance tomorrow morning.

So it is like this! Hearing this, the doubts in Zhao Guoyang's heart disappeared instantly.

Originally, according to the information provided by Jin Xiuzhu, Skoda Automobile Company was planning to invite several car manufacturers to visit their headquarters in three days' time.

Now, due to the face of this Mr. Kelmenchik, the Skoda Automobile Company agreed to contact the people from Huaxia first.

After receiving this good news, Ambassador Meng, Director Du and other bigwigs must of course plan carefully.

After thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang nodded in relief and said, Secretary Tang, this is really good news!

Although Tang Xingren is not very old, he has a very calm personality.

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, he smiled reservedly, but did not express much opinion.

As soon as Tang Xing came to the door of the meeting room, Zhao Guoyang heard Mao Zhichun's heavy breathing inside.

Hearing his rough voice, Zhao Guoyang knew that the chairman must have some emotions.

So what is it that makes Chairman Mao so dissatisfied?

Just when Zhao Guoyang was secretly guessing, Tang Xing had already knocked on the door.

Come in! Meng Liangyu's deep voice came from the conference room.

After Tang Xing opened the door, he said meticulously, Ambassador Meng, Researcher Zhao is here!

Ah! Guoyang is here, invite him in quickly!

Before Meng Liangyu had time to speak, Mao Zhichun couldn't help but interrupted.

Meng Liangyu, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at Chairman Mao, somewhat dissatisfied in his eyes.

Although Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong may be the highest in the conference room.

But there is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. On one-third of an acre of land, everything should be done according to one's own way.

It's like Du Yitao, the head of the delegation, is still his old colleague, but when he attended the meeting, he basically let himself make up his mind, without any intention of overreaching.

However, Meng Liangyu could understand Mao Zhichun's reaction at this time.

When they had a meeting just now, they talked about the meeting with Skoda Larsson, the chairman of Skoda Automobile Company tomorrow.

According to the opinion of the embassy, ​​it is natural that the embassy should lead the delegation.

However, Mao Zhichun felt that since the Czechoslovakian officials did not participate in tomorrow's meeting, it would be best for the embassy not to get involved.

Because that would easily arouse the resentment of important people in the Skoda Automobile Company.

It is not entirely true that Mao Zhichun's worries are meaningless.

It's just that this boss was too nervous about this matter, when he expressed his opinion just now, he seemed a little more radical.

Not only Meng Liangyu and Gu Jianbin were dissatisfied with him, but even Directors Du and Sun Zhi on the delegation's side were also not very satisfied.

With the arrival of Researcher Zhao at this moment, it is not difficult to understand that Chairman Mao felt that his rescue was coming, and he rushed to speak in front of Ambassador Meng.

Zhao Guoyang had no way of knowing about the wonderful atmosphere in the conference room.

After coming in, he first greeted several leaders politely, and then, under Director Du's instruction, sat in an empty seat next to him.

After Zhao Guoyang was seated, Du Yitao looked at him cheerfully and said, Guoyang, how are you talking with the daughter of the 'Daewoo Group'? Did you hear anything?

Zhao Guoyang organized the language, roughly talked about some of the situation he and Jin Xiuzhu had learned, and told everyone the process of Skoda Auto Company receiving these car manufacturers.

At the end, he coughed and said, Director Du, Ambassador Meng, the basic situation is like this.

The issue of the share transfer of 'Skoda Automobile' is now very involved, and some opponents that we didn't estimate before have also appeared...

No opponents that have been estimated? Hearing this, Director Sun Zhi of the Ministry of Foreign Trade frowned.

Zhao Guoyang met the big man's gaze, nodded slightly and said: Yes, Director Sun. When we discussed this matter in China before, we only regarded the 'Volkswagen Group' as the main opponent.

The facts are correct. Mr. Pohl, the executive vice president of the 'Volkswagen Group', has indeed stayed at the hotel of the 'Skoda Automobile Company'.

However, besides the 'Volkswagen Group', there is now another strong opponent...that is the 'Daimler AG'!

Daimler? Because he is not a professional in the automotive industry, Sun Zhi was taken aback when he heard the name.

Li Ru hurriedly explained: Director Sun, 'Daimler AG' is the parent company of 'Mercedes-Benz'. Like 'Volkswagen Group', it is also a behemoth in the automotive industry.

Oh, so that's how it is... Sun Zhi finally understood at this moment, and nodded subconsciously.

On the other side, after hearing the word Mercedes, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the bigwigs of two domestic car companies, became solemn.

As an industry insider, if you want to talk about the name Mercedes-Benz, those who have never heard of it simply do not exist.

In a sense, Mercedes-Benz is even synonymous with luxury cars.

At this time, it was first heard that the parent company of Mercedes-Benz also came to join in the fun. Rao Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong had confidence in Zhao Guoyang, so they couldn't help sweating secretly at this time.

As for the rest of the bosses in the conference room, they all know something about the bullishness of Mercedes-Benz.

After Zhao Guoyang's narration, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little dignified for a while.

After a while, it was Du Yitao, the head of the regiment, who spoke: Hey, things can't always go as expected, everything goes smoothly.

Since the 'Daimler AG' has joined, it is useless for us to lament. It is only reasonable to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible...
