King of Industry

The international yacht manufacturing industry first existed in the 1950s. After decades of slow development, the yacht industry has now entered a situation of rapid development...

In the conference room, Zhao Guoyang was talking about his views on the development of the yacht industry.

Yes, Mr. Zhao is right. Since the 1980s, some domestic shipbuilding enterprises in South Africa have begun to vigorously introduce foreign advanced technology and processing technology with supplied materials, and cooperate with European and American investors to produce different specifications. , different types of yachts.”

It's just that for the luxury yacht Mr. Zhao mentioned, our domestic shipbuilding enterprises in South Africa haven't expanded yet. Maybe the 'Smith Lane Shipbuilding Company' is involved.

Delfino said with some sighs: Although our 'Nautic Company' also had the idea of ​​directly entering luxury yachts, but technically, we have self-knowledge and know that we are not the same as those international yacht giants, and even domestic companies. The gap is too big, I can only choose to give up...

Hearing the grievances of the Delfino president, Zhao Guoyang nodded in agreement and said: That's right! It's different from many basic industries. For advanced projects such as luxury yachts, talents are the key to supporting the sustainable development of the industry.

Zhao Guoyang seriously analyzed: If you want to enter the luxury yacht project, you need not only technicians and skilled workers who have mastered cutting-edge technologies, but also professional maintenance personnel with an international vision for appearance and interior designers, and a sense of giant service.

Although the level of your country's shipbuilding industry is not low, but in terms of these aspects, it is still lacking too much...

Zhao Guoyang pointed out the problem straight to the point. Delfino and Noble looked at me and I looked at you, feeling horrified.

They didn't know Zhao Guoyang's identity as a special researcher in machinery, industry, etc. They only thought he was a big entrepreneur, and they were naturally very surprised to see his far-sighted vision.

Ignoring the doubts of these two, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: As far as I know, even famous yacht manufacturers in Europe and the United States outsource many of their products to international professional yacht design organizations.

From this, we can also see the preciousness of yacht design talents.

Everyone naturally believed Zhao Guoyang's narration.

Delfino couldn't help but sighed when he mentioned the pain point: A few years ago, the University of Cape Town in South Africa was going to offer a course in yacht design and maintenance. It's a pity that there are too few people who signed up. , the final plan can only die in the belly...

Zhao Guoyang nodded calmly, looked at Delfino and said, Chairman Delfino, what I want to say is that although China is still blank in the yacht manufacturing industry, we do have absolutely nothing in terms of talents. No shortage!

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, everyone in the conference room was shocked.

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: This is easy to understand, because there are many universities of science and technology in our country, and the number of professional higher education institutions and vocational education institutions related to ships and shipping is far higher than that of your country. .”

Even compared to educational powerhouses such as England and the United States, we are not inferior in the number of colleges and universities.

Under such circumstances, as long as our domestic colleges and universities hire one or two professional education personnel to offer yachting courses, there is no problem at all.

Zhao Guoyang paused, and then said: As I said before, there are one or two such talents in my 'Shipbuilding-Special Materials Research Institute'!

Ah, this is really exciting news! Delfino was the first to jump up after hearing this.

Noble on the side also clenched his fists excitedly, with a look of anticipation on his face.

As for Sun Jiadong and Davis, they were already dumbfounded by Zhao Guoyang's bursts of good news, speechless.

Looking at Delfino and Noble, Zhao Guoyang said seriously: Entering the yacht project is by no means a matter of one day, and I think the two of you must be well aware of this.

My idea is that instead of spending so much time and money to build small and medium-sized yachts, your company might as well cooperate with me and directly launch luxury yachts first.

Turning his head to look at Sun Jiadong, Zhao Guoyang went on to say: I can take charge of the design of luxury yachts; as for the steel materials needed for the manufacture of the hull, I can ask Mr. Sun to prepare them when I design them. First of all, the progress of all aspects of our project must be very fast!

Zhao Guoyang's remarks obviously moved Delfino and Noble.

Huaxia's education level is also well-known internationally. The number of Chinese scientists and technicians can be counted all over the world.

Zhao Guoyang directly guaranteed that he could complete the design task, and Delfino and Noble naturally believed it.

And Sun Jiadong's iron and steel plant smelting level has always had a good reputation in South Africa, so it should be more appropriate to entrust him with the material.

However, if this project also cooperates with this Mr. Zhao, what proportion will Nautick Company take?

If it is less than 50%, then this project will belong to Mr. Zhao, which is not of great significance to the company.

Seeing the hesitant looks of these two, Zhao Guoyang guessed what they were thinking at once.

He smiled slightly and said, Mr. Delfino, regarding the cooperation on this yacht project, I think that's the case?

This project itself must belong to your company. Your side will allocate a part of the funds every year to sponsor the technology research and development of my research institute. The results of our research will be shared with your company.

As for the allocation of shares, I only need 30% of the technical shares!

After Zhao Guoyang said these words, Delfino and Noble immediately understood what he meant.

Obviously, the reason why this Mr. Zhao gave up the controlling stake in this project so generously was because he was thinking about his plan to enter the yacht manufacturing industry in the future.

Now, while providing technology to Nautik, he has also polished himself, so that his own future yacht manufacturing projects will avoid many detours.

In addition, he asked his company to provide him with research and development funds, which also reduced the burden on his research institute, which can be said to be very good news.

But such an opportunity is also a rare opportunity for Nautick Company.

After all, if they really bite the bullet and cooperate with those yacht manufacturing giants in Europe and America, they may not even get the 30% of the shares.

After some bargaining, Zhao Guoyang finally reached a consensus on the luxury yacht project with Nautick Shipbuilding Company.

Nautick Shipbuilding Company, as the full investor, owns 70% of the shares; while Zhao Guoyang and his research institute are technical investors, owning 30% of the shares.

In terms of yacht design, Zhao Guoyang and his research institute are fully responsible; and all yacht technology patents are given to Nautick Company for free trial.

And if Zhao Guoyang also opened a yacht manufacturing company, its products should not be sold in South Africa in principle.

Of course, Delfino did not restrict Zhao Guoyang too much in this matter.

He promised that if Zhao Guoyang really set up a yacht manufacturing company in the future, his products could be handed over to Nautick Company as an agent in South Africa, that is to say, just give up part of the profits.

In addition, Sun Jiadong's Zhenbang Iron and Steel Company as the long-term partner of the two companies was also confirmed by Zhao Guoyang and Delfino and written into the agreement.

When Zhao Guoyang and Delfino finished signing and shook hands with a smile, Sun Jiadong beside him was already too excited to speak.

After the verbal battle and the signing of the contract, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Originally, Delfino and Noble wanted to invite Zhao Guoyang and Sun Jiadong to dinner at night, but Sun Jiadong had already bought the return plane ticket, so they had no choice but to give up.

After making an appointment with Zhao Guoyang to meet in China in January of next year and inspect his Shipbuilding-Special Materials Research Institute on the spot, Delfino personally sent them to the airport.

...

Sitting on the window seat of the plane, Sun Jiadong secretly looked at the extremely powerful young man beside him from time to time.

Today's trip to Cape Town with Zhao Guoyang is a thorough understanding of what courage and vision are.

Researcher Zhao used his superhuman ideas and insights to directly conquer Delfino and Noble, making them willing to cooperate with him.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang's ability to win people's trust is not all based on lip service.

After he came up and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, he directly stated that when the subsequent formal contract was signed, he would ask the Huaxia Embassy in South Africa to send a letter inviting Mr. Delfino to Pretoria.

With a golden signboard like the Chinese embassy in South Africa, how could the Nautick Shipbuilding Company not believe it?

Sun Jiadong knew that the embassy recognized and appreciated Researcher Zhao from top to bottom.

He knew that as long as Zhao Guoyang went back and mentioned this matter to the leaders of the embassy, ​​it would definitely be approved 100%.

Even the leaders would applaud him for winning such a big cooperation project!

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Guoyang's calmness and composure in Nautick Company today, even Sun Jiadong, who is in his 40s and 50s and has been immersed in shopping malls for many years, can't help himself.

Now he is just secretly glad that he has met such an earth-shattering person by chance, and he is afraid that he will be able to occupy a lot of light in the future.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang couldn't figure out what Mr. Sun was thinking next to him.

Right now, he is thinking about the pros and cons of this trip.

In general, Zhao Guoyang is quite satisfied with the agreement reached with Nautick Company today.

The design of luxury yachts is no problem for him.

The only thing that worries him is, where can he find the repair and maintenance talents of the yacht manufacturing industry?
