King of Industry

  Chapter 133 He really can't do it

  After Zhao Guoyang and his group arrived at the multimedia center, the guests had almost signed in.

  He sat in the second row with Li Kejian and Ji Chongxuan, leaving a few seats in the first row for the five big bulls.

  At nine o'clock, after the mayor of SJ Huang Zhigang made a brief speech, the International Automobile Summit Forum officially began.

  At 9:20, the first guest speaker appeared.

  General Motors Corporation of America is one of the most famous automobile companies in the world.

  Its "Buick", "Opel", "Cadillac" and other brands have always been one of the most competitive brands in the world.

  Clark, General Motors, CEO of International Operations. He is the first speaker of today's international summit forum, and the topic he talked about is the prospect of cooperation between China and the United States in the field of automobile industry.

  Clark first listed a series of data, presenting the changes in the scale of cooperation between China and the United States in the automotive industry in the past two years to the guests.

  In Clark’s view, there are broad prospects for cooperation between China and the United States in the fields of automobiles, energy, and aviation. He is looking forward to seeing the latest American automobile technology applied to the Chinese automobile market as soon as possible.

  After Clark finished speaking, the audience naturally burst into applause.

  Although Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting in the second row, also applauded, he felt disapproving.

  The reason is very simple. On the surface, Clark came to participate in this automobile summit forum. In fact, his real purpose is probably a lobbyist for the Americans to invade the Chinese market.

   It's like the energy, aviation, railway and other technologies he just mentioned, which are clearly irrelevant to their General Motors company.

  His wolf ambition is clearly revealed.

  Ji Chongxuan on the side seemed to see Zhao Guoyang's disdain. He looked Zhao Guoyang up and down, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Zhao, why do you seem to disapprove of this GM company? What's the reason for this?"

  Zhao Guoyang's complexion turned a little bit, and he replied seriously: "Academician Ji, I don't take General Motors seriously. In fact, General Motors has always been the top three super car companies in the world by sales."

   "Then why do you dislike it? I'm a little surprised." Ji Chongxuan asked curiously.

  Zhao Guoyang thought for a moment, organized his words and said, "It's not that I don't like it. It's just that I'm a little dissatisfied with Mr. Clark's attitude just now."

Zhao Guoyang explained with some displeasure: "Hearing from Clark's tone, it seems that their American companies came to our China market because we begged them to 'technically help the poor'. In fact, what they fancy is our China's huge market. , and cheap labor.”

   "Let's just talk about the construction of the railway that he just mentioned casually. In my opinion, our country's development momentum in this area will definitely surpass theirs in the United States."

   "With our current development speed, maybe in ten or twenty years, we will be the ones who teach them how to build railways. It's a bit ridiculous that this person is so arrogant, saying that he will provide us with technical support..."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Li Kejian became restless.

  He turned his head, looked earnestly at Zhao Guoyang and asked, "Xiao Zhao, why did you come to this conclusion? I mean, the development speed of our railway in China will surpass that of the United States."

Zhao Guoyang pinched his nose subconsciously and said: "Mr. Li, this is actually not difficult to understand. The land area of ​​China and the United States is not much different, and the geographical environment is also very close. In other words, the total mileage of railways in China and the United States It should be pretty much the same in the end.”

"Now, the total mileage of railroads in the United States is almost 220,000 kilometers. In contrast, what about us in China? This number is only more than 50,000. In other words, the total mileage of our country's railroads has at least 170,000 catching up. And that’s without taking into account that our population base is several times that of the United States.”

  Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said: "Comparing these figures, it is easy to draw conclusions. Undoubtedly, our country will have a very broad development space in terms of railways in the future."

   "Under such circumstances, if we listen to Clark and introduce their American railway technology, it will be easy to be led into the ditch by the old Americans."

   "Imagine that their railway technology was decades ago. Can it keep up with the rapid changes in the world's industrial level?"

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's thought-provoking words, Li Kejian showed a look of surprise on his face.

  He waited for a long time before continuing to ask: "Then Xiao Zhao, what kind of plan do you think our country's railway construction should have?"

  Zhao Guoyang thought for a while and said: "The specific plan is very complicated, and I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Li in a while, but it is still easy to grasp the general direction."

   "That is, we must independently research and develop new railway technologies. Even if the speed is a little slower, as long as we move steadily, we will definitely be able to improve our own technology during the construction process."

   "Now the total mileage of our country's railways is 50,000 kilometers, and when it reaches 70,000 or 80,000 kilometers, our level has not stabilized."

   "But I believe that if we persevere, our technological level may catch up with the developed countries in the world at 100,000 kilometers; maybe we will surpass them at 150,000 kilometers!"

   "Good! Good! Xiao Zhao, I have written down your suggestion. I am more and more interested in you now. I really don't know how your baby's brain grows..."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Li Kejian was silent for a moment, and couldn't help admiring in a low voice.

   Being stared at by Mr. Li, Zhao Guoyang felt a little uncomfortable. Although he knew that what he said just now was a bit over the top, but facing such a major issue, it was really impossible for him to keep silent.

  In fact, before his rebirth, the rapid development of the railway industry in the Republic led to the progress of other industries, and also allowed China to obtain the status it deserves as a top power in the world.

   Entering the 1910s and 20s, whether it is aiding Africa or South America, railways are always our most proud and sure thing.

   Such a large piece of cake, of course Zhao Guoyang cannot let it be lost easily. Therefore, he will definitely put forward the suggestion just now.

   As for what Li Kejian would think of himself because of this proposal, there is no way to think about it.

   While Zhao Guoyang was talking with Li Kejian and Ji Chongxuan in low voices, there was already a second guest speaker on the stage.

  As soon as they saw this person, the faces of the five big bulls in the front row became serious all the time.
