King of Industry

On a piece of wasteland in the southern suburbs of Ninghai City, dozens of excavators are busy in full swing.

Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu looked at all this from a distance, and looked at each other with smiles.

Here is the industrial land designated by the Ninghai Municipal Government to Xingtai-Daewoo Automobile Group Corporation.

Covering an area of ​​two million square meters, it is enough to be as large as ten Hongda Machinery Factory.

With the full support of the Ninghai Municipal Government and the huge initial investment of Daewoo Motor Company, the production line was basically set up in the first half of the year, so there is no problem.

No, in just over a week, the wasteland in front of him has taken on a new look, which surprised Jin Xiuzhu a little.

Looking at the good partner around her, Jin Xiuzhu blinked and said, Guoyang, your guess is really accurate. Looking at the current progress, it is true that our production base will be officially put into production as soon as spring next year!

To be honest, this kind of progress is much faster than I expected before!

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: Normal! We Chinese people have believed in one thing since ancient times—there is strength in numbers.

As long as we have enough manpower to support us, we can create any miracle.

For Zhao Guoyang's narration, Jin Xiuzhu still recognized it, and immediately nodded with a huh.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something again, so she turned her head to look at Zhao Guoyang and said, Guoyang, two days ago, it seems that the director Mu of the 'Hongda Machinery Factory' where you work has looked for you? He called you over, What was talked about?

Hearing Jin Xiuzhu's question, Zhao Guoyang just smiled slightly: It's nothing, just remind me, after I build a factory, don't forget to go to the 'Hongda Machinery Factory' from time to time to give technical guidance. .”

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang showed a smile on his face: Speaking of which, our 'Hongda Machinery Factory' is still very strong technically, and the burden on me has been lightened a lot...

Jin Xiuzhu didn't know much about the Hongda Machinery Factory and didn't ask in detail, so she changed the subject and asked Zhao Guoyang about new materials.

The Miss Jin frowned and said: Guoyang, the news came from South Korea recently, it seems that the building material company under the 'Hyundai Group' is researching a kind of 'environmentally friendly' cement, if they research it If so, our construction company under the 'Daewoo Group' may be in danger...

After Jin Xiuzhu said this, Zhao Guoyang was amused: Xiuzhu, you can rest assured about this. 'Environmental protection cement' is not so easy to develop. According to my personal speculation, this 'Hyundai Group' should be setting off a smokescreen. .”

Now you'Daewoo Group' is in a defensive state against the 'Hyundai Group'. At this time, you must hold your breath and don't be tough with the other party.

In the final analysis, the 'Hyundai Group' with the support of the South Korean government's comprehensive strength still needs to stabilize your 'Daewoo Group'. We have to admit this.

Jin Xiuzhu still trusted Zhao Guoyang's analysis, and immediately nodded her head and said: Well, Guoyang, you are right, this'environmental protection cement' has been developed by Daewoo Construction Company for two or three years, but There has been no breakthrough.

The 'Modern Building Materials Company' has hired a lot of people from our 'Daewoo Group' before, and this time they found out about this research. But logically speaking, it really shouldn't come up with results so quickly... ...

Seeing what Jin Xiuzhu said, Zhao Guoyang felt relieved.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guoyang advocated for Jin Xiuzhu's strategy for such a behemoth as the Hyundai Group is to give up the small and broaden the big.

Zhao Guoyang's idea is very simple, Daewoo Group can allow this Hyundai Group to lead itself in many fields such as steel, machinery, trade, transportation, and cement production.

However, in the heavyweight automobile industry and heavy machinery, they must compete with each other.

Of course, this kind of competition must not be in South Korea, but must focus on the whole world.

Judging from the current proportions of the two groups in the global auto market, the Hyundai Group has little advantage over the Daewoo Group.

Even in Southeast Asia, Latin America and other regions, the market share of Daewoo Group is even higher than that of them.

One of the main purposes of the establishment of Xingtai-Daewoo Motor Group Corporation is to meet the Hyundai Group in Europe, North America and other places where it has traditionally been strong.

Before that, Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu had already discussed that the main products produced by Xingtai-Daewoo Automobile Group Company would be relatively high-end models.

These models are definitely not sold in economically underdeveloped regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

But for rich people in Europe and America, this kind of product is what they want to look forward to.

Gently patted Jin Xiuzhu's back to show comfort, Zhao Guoyang said with a relaxed face: Xiuzhu, don't take the 'Hyundai Group' too seriously. As long as we settle down, take care of the 'Xingtai-Daewoo Group'. When the Automobile Group Corporation gets started, the Hyundai Group will suffer...

Jin Xiuzhu was both surprised and delighted by Zhao Guoyang's confident statement.

All along, what Zhao Guoyang said has always been able to come true.

Since he was so sure, most of Jin Xiuzhu's fear of the Hyundai Group in his heart was gone.

Taking a deep breath, the Miss Jin said with a smile: Guoyang, you said that, then I'll just wait and see?

When Zhao Guoyang nodded with a smile, Jin Xiuzhu said again: By the way, Guoyang. Your initial work here is almost done, and I'm about to return to Malaysia.

Zhao Guoyang was not surprised by Jin Xiuzhu's intention to leave.

Speaking of which, she is in Malaysia, but there is still Daewoo Shipping Company to take care of her.

This yacht project is equally important, and samples must be produced before the end of the year.

With Jin Xiuzhu watching over, she can give feedback to herself in time if she has any questions.

After trying to understand this, Zhao Guoyang said with a huh and said: Xiuzhu, you are right, Malaysia is now the main base of your 'Daewoo Group'. After managing that side, turn around and you The headquarters can be moved there at any time...

When Jin Xiuzhu heard this, she nodded repeatedly and said, Yes, that's what my father told me before!

Father told me that when the time is right, once the foreign business of our 'Daewoo Motor Company' surpasses the domestic business, then we can leave at any time and move the headquarters to another place!

After hearing Jin Xiuzhu's statement, Zhao Guoyang knew in his heart that Mr. Jin Yuzhong was also completely disappointed with the South Korean government.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a person of the older generation, to have such thoughts.

As for Daewoo Group, his own partner, of course Zhao Guoyang can make some points, and he will definitely make some points.

At that moment, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Jin Xiuzhu: Xiuzhu, I personally think that if your Daewoo Group wants to relocate its headquarters, you can consider a few small countries in Eastern Europe...

Eastern European countries?

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's proposal, Jin Xiuzhu was a little confused.

In her impression, the economic development of Eastern European countries is still relatively good, not much worse than that of South Korea.

In this case, if the headquarters and production base are moved there, in terms of cost, there will not be much reduction at all.

This runs counter to the original intention of his father, Jin Yuzhong, to settle in an area with cheap labor.

However, Jin Xiuzhu also knew that Zhao Guoyang would definitely not aim at nothing.

So she took a serious look at Zhao Guoyang, and asked casually: Guoyang, the labor force in this Eastern European country is not cheap. Moving there, the effect should not be as good as in Southeast Asia, right? What's the secret behind this, you can tell me the details Tell me...

Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and explained slowly: The economic prosperity of Eastern European countries is actually just an illusion. In fact, neither Yugoslavia nor Bulgaria can be considered a developed country.

Including Czechoslovakia, a traditional industrial powerhouse in Europe, after being split into Czech and Slovakia, there is also a feeling of lack of succession...

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, then continued: According to the data I know, the unemployment rate in Eastern European countries has generally exceeded 10% in the past two years.

If you 'Daewoo Group' can move the headquarters there when the other party is in the most difficult time, not only can you give people a good impression, but you can also get a lot of policy support. Why not do it?

Hearing what Zhao Guoyang said, Jin Xiuzhu's eyes lit up.

She clapped her hands and said in unison, That's right! Another advantage is that after our 'Daewoo Group' moved its headquarters there, our car sales in Eastern European countries will definitely increase.

Now in the Eastern European market, we are not much behind the 'Hyundai Group'. If there is such a change, it is no longer a fantasy to catch up and surpass the other party!

Seeing that Miss Jin was able to infer other things from one instance, Zhao Guoyang smiled and gave her a thumbs up appreciatively.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang deliberately teasing her amused appearance, Jin Xiuzhu couldn't help but smile.

After laughing, this Miss Jin looked at her watch and said, Okay, it's getting late, I have to go. The plane takes off in the afternoon, and I'm rushing to SJ City now, just in time!

Zhao Guoyang didn't scribble, nodded, pointed to the Rolls-Royce parked there behind and said, Sure, I'll ask Luo Zhongxin to take you directly to Hongqiao Airport in SJ.

Best trip, Xiuzhu! Zhao Guoyang did not forget to smile and wave to Jin Xiuzhu when he was parting.
