King of Industry

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, a name flashed in Zhao Guoyang's mind.

Hornacek, the president of Brno Arms Factory, the largest arsenal in Czechoslovakia.

Hornacek is a bigwig in the military industry of Czechoslovakia and an iconic figure in the entire country.

It was also under his leadership that the Brno Arsenal developed and produced a batch of excellent products that are known all over the world in the 1960s and 1970s.

It's just a pity that because of the sluggish domestic economy, the Brno Arsenal began to decline gradually after entering the 1980s.

But in any case, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Brno Arsenal is still the largest military enterprise in Czechoslovakia.

And Hornacek has always been respected and loved by the people of his country.

Faced with the question raised by such a legendary figure, Zhao Guoyang certainly could not neglect it.

After he straightened his face, he explained seriously: Mr. Hornacek, the question you asked will take a little longer to explain. Please listen to me slowly...

Hornacek nodded approvingly, was invited by Kelmenchik, and sat down beside him.

In the current 'military industry', informatization probably includes two types, namely equipment informatization and weapon informatization.

The so-called equipment with information functions refers to the high content of information technology, and information technology plays a leading role in improving the performance of military equipment and its use, manipulation, and command...

As for the informatization of weapons and equipment, it refers to the use of information technology and computer technology to make the information collection, fusion, processing, transmission, and display in the fields of early warning detection, intelligence reconnaissance, precision guidance, and battlefield management realize networking, automation, and real-time.

With the development of science and technology in the 'military industry', the informatization of weapons and equipment will have more and more influences. Among all kinds of weapons, the proportion of electronic information systems will become larger and larger, and its role will become increasingly important.

In addition, informationized ammunition, informationized combat platforms, military intelligent robot systems, and individual digital equipment are also a series of products derived from the informatization of 'military products'.

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk, Hornacek's face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

He is a big man in the military industry of Czechoslovakia. Although he is getting older, his understanding of the military industry can be said to be second to none.

Obviously, what this Researcher Zhao said at this time was something he had never heard of before.

Even after seeing the expressions on the faces of Kelmenchik, Hesky, and Telfair, Hornacek doubted whether the military professionals in his own country could have such incisive and unique insights.

Just when Hornacek was surprised by Researcher Zhao, the other party's narration was almost coming to an end.

Finally, Zhao Guoyang looked directly into Hornacek's eyes, and said with a smile: Mr. Hornacek, there are defense technology industries that are suitable for the requirements of weapons and equipment in different eras; and defense technology industries in different eras are also applicable. It is used to produce different forms of weapons and equipment.”

In the next ten or twenty years, the world's new military revolution will develop in depth. Its essence is to transform the mechanized army suitable for mechanized warfare in the industrial age into an informationized army suitable for informationized warfare in the information age.

And one of the basic elements of an informationized army is informationized weapons and equipment.

From my personal point of view, with the scientific research level of the 'military industry' that your country has accumulated for a long time, as long as you choose the right development strategy, it is not difficult to catch up with the world's advanced level...

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, everyone in Czechoslovakia fell into deep thought for a long time.

After a long while, Kelmenchik let out a long breath and said, Researcher Zhao, after listening to your explanation today, I am really enlightened, what you said is really good!

Kelmenchik's words were unanimously approved by Hesky, Telfair and others.

Hornacek also looked at Zhao Guoyang with admiration and said, Researcher Zhao, I would like to extend an invitation to you personally. Please come to my manor the day after tomorrow as a guest. Is it convenient?

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang showed a bit of embarrassment.

Before he had time to explain, Meng Liangyu who was next to him quickly said, I'm sorry, Mr. Hornacek, Xiao Zhao is really not free the day after tomorrow! He wants to join our 'delegation' from Huaxia this time to participate in the 'Skoda Automobile companies' bidding meetings...

Ah, so it is! Hornacek suddenly realized.

Kelmenchik, who was sitting next to him, quickly chimed in, Yes, Mr. Hornacek. Researcher Zhao is not only the 'Chief Consultant' of the Huaxia Delegation, but also the 'Technical Director' of the 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation'. Therefore, he must participate in the tender for 'Skoda'...

Oh, it's amazing to have such a level and insight at such a young age!

After hearing the words, Hornacek let out a long sigh, then shook his head regretfully and said, In that case, we can only wait another day or two.

Looking up at Meng Liangyu, the big man asked kindly, Ambassador Meng, I wonder how long your country's 'delegation' will stay in Prague this time.

I think after three or four days, I will ask Researcher Zhao to talk again. There should be no problem, right?

The boss invited repeatedly, and of course Meng Liangyu would give this face.

After consulting Du Yitao's opinion, he nodded repeatedly and said, No problem, no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Hornacek. Our Huaxia visiting team will stay in Prague for five more days!

After Meng Liangyu said this, Hornacek smiled in relief.

On the other side, Husky and Telfair exchanged glances, and there was some joy on their faces.

With Zhao Guoyang's Pearls and Jade First, the next conversation between the two big bosses seemed a bit boring.

At the end of the reception, the bosses from Czechoslovakia came to shake hands with Zhao Guoyang one after another.

Including those entrepreneurs and financial industry tycoons sitting behind the guest seat area, they also took advantage of this opportunity to exchange some polite words with Zhao Guoyang.

Of course, a character of this level must be cautious in his words and deeds, and will not send out some embarrassing invitations.

Everyone already knew that Hornacek wanted to meet Zhao Guoyang alone, so naturally no one would rush this big guy in front of him and make him lose face.

When Kelmenchik sent the Huaxia group away, he also shook hands with Zhao Guoyang and thanked him very much.

Indeed, what Zhao Guoyang said about Czechoslovakia's military industry at the reception today is really insightful and helpful.

Although Husky and Telfair did not make a formal statement at the time, Kelmenchik knew that the two had already driven to report the situation to the Boss of the Government Affairs Council.

When he turned his head to look at Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao, Kelmenchik thought for a moment and said, Ambassador Meng, Head Du, although I won't attend the bidding meeting of Skoda the day after tomorrow, I will Give Larson a call...

If the conditions are more suitable, you'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation' will definitely have the priority! When Kelmenchik said this, he didn't hide it much.

It can be seen that he admires the Huaxia delegation, or more precisely, Zhao Guoyang.

Within the scope of his ability, this boss is also willing to help Huaxia with a little effort.

At least, because of the Skoda share transfer, there can't be any cracks in the friendly relationship between the two countries, right?

After Kelmenchik made his statement, Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao showed ecstatic smiles on their faces.

In fact, the two bigwigs knew very well that Zhao Guoyang had already left a deep impression on the other party's President Larson during the separate communication with Skoda Automobile Company.

At least judging from the current situation, Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation has a faint lead over other competitors in the matter of the transfer of Skoda shares.

Now, with Minister Kelmenchik's promise, Huaxia's confidence in this matter is even greater.

After thanking Mr. Kelmenchik very much, the Huaxia team got into the car and left slowly.

Because of the strong invitation of Ambassador Meng and Head Du, Zhao Guoyang was of course sitting in the same car with several bigwigs.

After the car started, Du Yitao couldn't wait to pat Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said, Guoyang, what you said today was really timely and helped us a lot!

Yes, Researcher Zhao! You didn't notice just now, Mr. Kelmenchik looked at you with gratitude. Now, you may be the benefactor in the hearts of Czechoslovakians gone.

It was Minister Gu Jianbin who spoke. Although he didn't make much noise during the reception just now, he listened carefully to Zhao Guoyang's narration from the beginning to the end.

Obviously, Minister Gu is very satisfied with Zhao Guoyang's performance today.

Hearing the big man's praise, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly said humbly: Minister Gu, you are exaggerating, I really dare not take it for you.

Hey, Guoyang, I told you not to be too modest. What Jianbin said is reasonable. I think not only Kelmenchik, but even the other two ministers are very grateful to you. !” Du Yitao waved his hands and said cheerfully.

After Du Yitao spoke, the other two people in the car, Sun Zhi and Li Ru, also nodded in agreement.

Hearing the compliments from these bigwigs, Zhao Guoyang could only force himself to blend into the atmosphere.
