King of Industry

Sitting in the chairman's office on the top floor of Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company, Zhao Guoyang rarely had time to enjoy the scenery outside.

Across the river is the Bund, and to the east is the coastline. Through floor-to-ceiling glass, you can have a sweeping view of the river and sea.

It has been more than ten days since I came back from the metallurgical work conference in the capital, and New Year's Day has already passed.

In a blink of an eye, it is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

For more than ten days, Zhao Guoyang has not returned to Hongda Machinery Factory.

Since Director Mu knew his situation, of course he would not urge him to do anything. He just informed him and told him to come back as much as possible before the Spring Festival to discuss the restructuring of the factory.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang agreed to everything.

After the previous metallurgical work conference, Zhao Guoyang has relisted the Ship Industry-Special Materials Research Institute under Xingtai International.

Now this research institute has hung the brands of several ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, the State Oceanic Administration, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

This means that Zhao Guoyang's research institute can get full support from these ministries and commissions in the future.

In addition, Minister Chen from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry also promised him that in the future, his research institute will be able to give priority to recruiting excellent talents from universities directly under the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

To Zhao Guoyang, this promise actually means more.

You must know that some heavyweight metallurgical colleges in China do not only have metallurgical majors.

Some powerful metallurgical universities offer majors including mechanical, electronic, radio and many other engineering majors.

With the golden brand name of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, Zhao Guoyang believes that in the future, he and the research institute will no longer have to worry about recruiting people.

The knock on the door interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts, he straightened up and said loudly: Please come in!

The person who came in was Zhang Yufang. She has basically established her second-in-command position in Xingtai International. Everyone, including returnees and high-achieving students like Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman, respects her very much.

Mr. Zhao, several graduates from McGill University in Canada have arrived, would you like to go and have a look?

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang said Ah and said, It's coming so soon? Then we must go and have a look. Those graduate students are going to work in our 'Xingtai International' for a long time, or should they be respected !

The McGill graduate student that Zhang Yufang mentioned was the students Zhao Guoyang met on the unmanned car project during his trip to North America.

When Zhao Guoyang met them, these students were seeking financial assistance for their own projects.

Zhao Guoyang, who has a discerning eye, took a fancy to the creativity of these young people, directly and fully funded their project research, and promised to open a research institute for them in China.

Originally, among these few students, Olivia and Emma were going to give up their studies directly and follow Zhao Guoyang to China to start a new era.

But after Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, he still felt that it was better not to rush.

After all, the few of them only need to stay in school for another year or so, and they can complete all their postgraduate studies. It's really not worthwhile to give up halfway.

What's more, the Ship Industry-Special Materials research institute at Xingtai International hadn't been established at the time, so it would be too ostentatious and hasty to start a Automobile and Motor Vehicle New Technology Research Institute rashly.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guoyang made an appointment with them a year and a half later in SJ City, China, and formally accepted them into his company.

Now, the time agreed by both parties has arrived.

After chatting with Zhang Yufang for a few words, and hearing from her that six students were already waiting at the reception desk downstairs, Zhao Guoyang stood up and waved his hands: Okay, Teacher Zhang, let's go over to welcome the second student from our company. A 'research team'!

Of course, Zhang Yufang was very clear about the Canadian affairs, after all, she was also accompanying Zhao Guoyang the whole time.

The students Olivia, Emma, ​​Isabella, Noah, Mason, Benjamin and others just now were a little nervous when they were questioned by some strange faces from Xingtai International.

When they saw Zhang Yufang later, they all felt very cordial.

A few girls even dragged her to ask this and that, which almost spoiled Zhang Yufang's work.

Thinking of the scene when they first met, Zhang Yufang smiled slightly.

When she followed Zhao Guoyang out, she couldn't help asking: Mr. Zhao, are you really planning to build another technical team? In this way, won't our 'Xingtai International' have to invest a lot of money again?

Of course Zhao Guoyang understood what Zhang Yufang meant.

The assistant to the chairman was worried that the company's funds would not be enough to support two large technical teams.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. Like the 'Ship Industry-Special Materials' Institute, our 'Automobile and Motor Vehicle New Technology Institute' also Not sole proprietorship.

Before I made an agreement with Chairman Mao of Songqi Group, Chairman Wu of FAW Group, and Chairman Wang of Jiangnan Jinling Automobile Group Company, the research funds of our research institute will be equally distributed by the three of them !

Hearing this, Zhang Yufang was a little confused.

She let out an uh and said suspiciously: Mr. Zhao, what do you mean, we at 'Xingtai International' don't need to spend a penny? We can create a new research institute? This is... too It's an exaggeration!

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: It's not an exaggeration at all! Teacher Zhang, you must know that the skeleton of this team was built by our 'Xingtai International', and Olivia, Isabel They are all technicians registered with our company.

We provide technology and personnel, Chairman Mao and others provide funds, and the scientific research and technology obtained are shared by both parties. This is a very cost-effective thing for Songqi Group and FAW Group.

After Zhao Guoyang explained it like this, Zhang Yufang understood it all at once.

Obviously, because of the existence of his own big boss, whether it is Mao Zhichun of Songqi Group or Wu Jianlong of FAW Group, they must have great trust in the scientific research capabilities of this research institute.

Under the circumstances that the future of this research institute is optimistic, the three car manufacturers with deep pockets come to inject capital into this research institute at the same time in order to win the right to use the future technology patents of the institute. This is really nothing. You can hesitate.

These bigwigs must have calculated it a long time ago. With Mr. Zhao's current attainments in domestic automobile technology, their investment must be worth the money.

Maybe, the three car companies had a quarrel for a while because of the share of the capital injection.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yufang smiled admiringly when she looked at Zhao Guoyang's profile in front of her.

That's right, although Mr. Zhao didn't appear in Xingtai International for a long time, he may not have directed the people below to do as many things.

But everyone in the company knows one thing, this young and promising Mr. Zhao is the backbone of the company.

Without his existence, Xingtai International would not have the current momentum of development.

Just when Zhang Yufang was sighing, Zhao Guoyang turned his head to look at her, and said, Well, yes, Mr. Zhang. The Huaxia Automobile Group Company must be officially put into production a year ago.

I have some shares over there, and I also serve as the head of the technology research and development department. The right to use the patents of our research institute should also be counted as one of them. In this way, my shares are not in vain...

Understood! Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded repeatedly.

When Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang rushed to the reception, the company's two administrative assistants, Song Meiting and Xiao Ling, were chatting with several Canadian students with smiles on their faces.

We are all about the same age, and we still have a lot of common language.

In addition, among the few students, girls accounted for three, Song Meiting and Xiao Ling were naturally happy to chat with them more.

Seeing the arrival of their own boss through the glass, the two administrative assistants quickly reminded a few students, and then stood up to greet him.

President Zhao, Assistant Zhang!

Zhao Guoyang smiled and nodded at the two girls, and then turned his attention to the team he accepted at the beginning.

Compared with more than a year ago, the current team has shed its original childishness and gradually matured.

Isabella's hair has also been curled, and Benjamin's beard has also grown. Everyone's image has changed a lot.

Ovelia, Isabella... welcome! Zhao Guoyang said with a smile, Mr. Zhang and I have been waiting for this day, but we have been waiting for five hundred days!

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's kind words, several Canadian students felt very honored, and bursts of smiles appeared on their faces.

It's an honor for us to be able to enter Xingtai International and work under Mr. Zhao and Assistant Zhang! Ovelia, the leader, said with a smile.

Foreigners sometimes take matters of face more seriously than Chinese people.

The so-called flowered sedan chairs are carried by everyone, this kind of thing is similar everywhere.

Zhao Guoyang expressed the importance he attached to these students, and they naturally reciprocated.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand and made a please gesture: It's still early for dinner, and Mr. Zhang and I will take you to the guest house first, and settle your accommodation issues.

Then, let's look at the time again, whether to go to your workplace first, or go directly to dinner.

After hearing this, Isabella smiled and said: Mr. Zhao, you don't need to go to the guest house, just go to see the work place. Anyway, we are all here. You won't let us sleep on the street, will you?
