King of Industry

With Zhao Guoyang's clarification, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke's worries were finally put down.

Now the Trip to Africa ​​has passed more than half, and now the whole delegation is completely convinced by Zhao Guoyang, the deputy head of the delegation.

Not only Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke, the two team leaders, but also the entrepreneurs, everyone was convinced by Researcher Zhao.

Since the journey from Nigeria to Zaire is more than 1,000 kilometers, plus the time difference, the flight time is naturally indispensable, and it takes almost a whole night to arrive.

Looking at the darkness outside, everyone chatted for a while about the itinerary for the next two stops before falling asleep.

...

When the plane landed in Kinshasa, the capital of Zaire, a red sun had just risen from the east.

As soon as the big guy got off the plane, Zhao Guoyang felt a wave of heat hit his face.

Because he was mentally prepared for the climate and environment here, Zhao Guoyang didn't think it was a big deal, but Zhang Yufang beside him was a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but exclaimed when he got off the plane.

Ah, it's too hot here. It's much hotter than in Nigeria. Hey, if I knew it, I wouldn't wear so much...

After hearing Mr. Zhang's complaints, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing and said: Mr. Zhang, you may not know much about African countries. In fact, most countries in Africa are not as hot as we imagined.

It's like Nigeria and Ethiopia, where the temperature is around 30 degrees all year round. Only in desert areas will it be more difficult.

Well……

Zhang Yufang was stunned for a moment, and then said, Yes, I felt it before. It seems that summer in Africa is cooler than ours in China. At night, it's even a bit cooler.

But here in Zaire, why does it seem like a sudden change of environment...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang pointed to the surroundings and explained: This is actually very simple. Zaire is one of the few countries in the African continent that traverses the equator. Most of the country has a tropical rainforest climate, and it is hot and rainy all year round.

This Kinshasa is located on the southwestern edge of the Congo Basin. The city is surrounded by tropical rainforest, and the temperature is higher than other cities in China. It's normal that you feel uncomfortable when you come here.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Zhang Yufang finally understood the reason. She nodded slightly, and asked Zhao Guoyang about Zaire and the city called Kinshasa.

While Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang were talking in low voices, Bao Anjun, who was at the front of the line, had already met with the Chinese embassy staff in Zaire who came to welcome them.

Because the Huaxia-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Mission is of a very high level, almost all the Chinese ambassadors to various countries came to greet them, and today is no exception.

In addition to Fang Rulong, the Chinese ambassador to Zaire, Qin Zhigao, the economic and commercial counselor of China in Zaire, Xiao Pingding, the industrial counselor of China in Zaire, and Ding Xiaofei, the senior military attache of China's military attache in Zaire, came to pick up the plane.

Ambassador Fang Rulong and Director Bao Anjun may have known each other very well before, and they chatted very warmly after meeting.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Director Bao introduced the members of his team to Ambassador Fang and several counselors.

After introducing Zhang Zheke, Bao Anjun was the second to introduce Zhao Guoyang.

Old Fang, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Guoyang and Researcher Zhao, the deputy heads of our trade and investment promotion group.

Seeing the doubt in Fang Rulong's eyes, Bao Anjun explained cheerfully: Old Fang, don't make rash judgments just because of Researcher Zhao's age. In my opinion, our Researcher Zhao's level and ability Let him be the leader of the regiment!

Bao Anjun's evaluation of Zhao Guoyang can be said to be very high.

Fang Rulong, Qin Zhigao, Xiao Pingding and other leaders of the embassy were surprised when they heard this.

In stark contrast, on the side of the delegation, the big guys were very calm, as if Director Bao's evaluation was a perfectly normal thing.

Fang Rulong's reaction was the quickest. After Bao Anjun's introduction, he took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, Researcher Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you!

I know Lao Bao best. I know that he will never lie. Since he has said what you are capable of, he must be right...

Fang Rulong shook Zhao Guoyang's hand with a smile and said: This trip has such a good opportunity, we must see Researcher Zhao's ability well!

After hearing the words of praise from the leader at the main hall level, Zhao Guoyang quickly lowered his posture and said a few words of humility.

Among the Chinese ambassadors to African countries, ambassadors at the departmental level are actually not the norm.

Except for major countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa, many Chinese ambassadors to African countries are at the deputy department level.

Although Zaire's economy is relatively backward among African countries, due to its large population and vast area, Fang Rulong, the ambassador in the country, is also a cadre at the departmental level.

In contrast, the two counselors, Xiao Pingding and Qin Zhigao, are also deputy department-level cadres.

After some pleasantries, everyone in the delegation boarded a car and two commercial vehicles sent by the embassy.

Director Bao and Ambassador Fang were naturally in the car, while Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Zheke boarded the commercial vehicle behind, accompanied by two counselors and the senior military official Xiaofei.

After the car started, Counselor Qin Zhigao smiled and said to Zhang Zheke who was sitting next to him: Chairman Zhang, this time you, the boss of the 'China International Trade Promotion Committee', will come out in person. Our delegation will definitely Is it very rewarding?

How about it? In the first four stops, there should be no suspense that the trade volume you negotiated exceeded one million US dollars. It should be almost the same before the task is completed, right?

When Qin Zhigao asked this question, Counselor Xiao Pingding sitting behind him couldn't help stretching his neck.

Obviously, the industrial counselor was quite concerned about Qin Zhigao's question.

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhang Zheke laughed and said, Counselor Qin, your judgment is a big mistake.

During our visits to the previous four countries, our delegation has already signed an order contract of more than 10 million US dollars! Just in Nigeria just visited, our delegation won an order of almost 8 million US dollars...

After hearing Zhang Zheke's words, Qin Zhigao and Xiao Pingding almost had the same expression—the mouth was so wide that they almost couldn't close it.

Zhang Zheke caught a glimpse of the astonishment of the two of them, and a smile appeared on his face.

He continued to speak: Counselor Qin, Counselor Xiao, the figures I mentioned have not included some lists of intention negotiations, and they have actually completed an order contract worth tens of millions of dollars!

At this moment, Qin Zhigao and Xiao Pingding could not tolerate disbelief.

Qin Zhigao swallowed hard, tried his best to speak as calmly as possible, and said, Amazing, really amazing, President Zhang.

It really makes a big difference for you to go out in person!

Yeah!

Xiao Pingding, who was behind, also echoed, Before, our Huaxia trade team came to Africa every year. Although there were gains every time, such outstanding results have never been seen before.

I remember the biggest achievement in the past two years, which was to reach a trade order of one or two million dollars.

Looking at Zhang Zheke with burning eyes, the Counselor Xiao sighed: President Zhang, you are really an expert, and you will know if there is one as soon as you stretch out your hand. You are the best!

When Qin Zhigao heard this, although he didn't speak, he nodded lightly, apparently completely agreeing with Xiao Pingding's statement.

Just when the two leaders were full of emotions, Zhang Zheke unexpectedly laughed out loud.

Looking at Qin Zhigao and Xiao Pingding who were confused, Zhang Zheke quickly explained: You two have misunderstood. This time our delegation can achieve such success, and I really have nothing to do with it. The main reason is that we This researcher Zhao is too powerful!

Pointing his hand towards Zhao Guoyang, Zhang Zheke straightened his expression and said, Actually, 99% of the orders our delegation has won so far were negotiated by our researcher Zhao.

His 'SMS Construction Machinery Group Company' and 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company' really shined during this 'Trip to Africa' and gave us too many surprises...

Zhang Zheke's flattery made Zhao Guoyang scratch his head.

He actually doesn't like this kind of limelight.

The reason is very simple, if you are in the limelight, there will be more things to come later.

Just like the leaders of the two Chinese embassy in Zaire, they must have a certain amount of tasks every year in terms of commerce and industry.

Now that they know that they are the main creator of this business miracle, these two will definitely seek some help from themselves.

But there is no way, the president's big words have already been uttered, and Zhao Guoyang can only reluctantly accept the result in front of him at this moment.

Just when Zhao Guoyang was muttering to himself, Qin Zhigao, economic and commercial counselor, understood a little bit.

He looked at Zhao Guoyang thoughtfully and said: Researcher Zhao, you are not only the deputy head of the delegation, but also the top management of two big companies? Help this 'SMS Company' and 'Xingtai International' negotiate a deal How many orders have you made?

As soon as Counselor Qin's words fell, Zhang Zheke couldn't help correcting him: It's not the senior management, it's the boss!

Researcher Zhao, he is the first legal person, chairman and general manager of these two companies!

Ah? Hearing this answer, Qin Zhigao and Xiao Pingding looked at me and I looked at you, both of them couldn't believe it.

Even Ding Xiaofei, the senior military attache who had been sitting upright, had a look of amazement on his face.
