King of Industry

  Chapter 197 To run a business, you need to understand the world

  After returning to the dormitory after get off work, Zhao Guoyang saw that his things had been neatly piled up in the corner.

  Opening the computer box, Zhao Guoyang found that there was also an AUTOCAD software CD inside. It seems that Mr. Lu is really caring.

   After assembling the 386 with ease, Zhao Guoyang immediately put the CD into the CD-ROM drive and started the installation.

  In the early 1990s, the level of various software on the market was still very low, and there was no network. Relatively large drawing software such as CAD could only be installed through a CD, and the speed was as slow as a snail.

   Zhao Guoyang waited for nearly an hour before completing the installation of the CAD software under DOS.

  After the installation, Zhao Guoyang naturally couldn't wait to open the software and try it out first.

  When he was in Jinling Automobile Group Corporation, he didn't show his full strength, for fear that it would be too shocking.

   At this time, without the interruption of others, Zhao Guoyang can naturally start designing as he likes.

  Because he had a rough design plan in his mind early on, Zhao Guoyang's CAD drawing was very smooth and fast.

   Without much effort, he has easily drawn the prototype of a scooter.

  Of course, this shape can only be used as a design reference. If you want to truly convert it into a drawing for the supporting manufacturer, you need a large number of parts drawings to supplement and improve.

  Looking at the shape of the scooter he designed, Zhao Guoyang pondered for a moment, touched his chin, and always felt that something was wrong.

   After looking at it repeatedly for a while, Zhao Guoyang slapped his forehead and burst out laughing. It turned out that he missed drawing a LOGO.

  In the early 1990s, the development of the domestic scooter market had just started.

   The relatively well-known scooter brands are only the "Mulan" produced by the Heavy Qi Group in QZ City, Shandong Province, and the "Fuxi" produced by the Jialing Group in Yucheng City.

  Whether it is "Mulan" or "Fuxi", first of all, the name is very good and more down-to-earth. These two models are also relatively successful cases of domestic scooter models.

   In Zhao Guoyang's view, if his own Hongda Machinery Factory really wants to manufacture scooters, it is undoubtedly very important to have a catchy name.

  What should I name the first scooter in my factory? Zhao Guoyang turned his eyes to the night outside the window, lost in thought.

  …

  The next morning, Zhao Guoyang got up at half past five.

   After washing up, Zhao Guoyang wanted to say hello to Xu Dongfeng and tell him not to mess with the computer, but when he turned his head, he saw that this guy was sleeping with his head covered on the next bed.

  Looking at this guy who didn't know when he would come back from playing, Zhao Guoyang shook his head helplessly, stopped thinking about waking him up, and wrote a note casually and put it on the table.

  When Zhao Guoyang arrived at the office building, he found a small black car waiting there from a distance.

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang approaching, the driver Xiao Feng in the driver's seat hurried out and greeted him enthusiastically.

   Seeing that it was Xiao Feng, Zhao Guoyang was amused. This guy can be regarded as an acquaintance. When he went to Siyang Group last time, he was with him.

   "Xiao Feng, where's Director Ma, hasn't he arrived yet?" Zhao Guoyang looked around and asked casually.

   "Hehe, Director Ma has already arrived. He just said to go upstairs to get things. He told Section Chief Zhao to wait in the car for a while after you come."

  Zhao Guoyang nodded, patted Xiao Feng's arm and said, "Well, I'll go up and have a look."

  Going upstairs and walking to the door of Ma Jian's office, Zhao Guoyang heard the director Ma talking to himself inside.

"Well, the people in Ludong are good at drinking. I'll bring a case of Yanghe Daqu, maybe it will come in handy! As the saying goes, if I invite people to drink, I won't return our wine. Shut it out, right?"

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but smile.

   Ma Jian in the room heard Zhao Guoyang's laughter and quickly raised his head.

   "Ah, Guoyang, you are here."

   Ma Jian knew that Zhao Guoyang had heard his words just now, and he didn't feel that there was anything to hide. He spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. It's difficult to run a business. I don't make more preparations. I always feel a little uneasy."

  Zhao Guoyang comforted: "Hey, Director Ma, we went under the banner of supporting the heavy riding group with frames. They should not be so strict, just like guarding against thieves. You, don't think too complicated."

   "Hey, Guoyang, you don't understand this." As soon as he talked about his scope of work, Ma Jian became energetic.

He moved out the box of wine first, and then said to Zhao Guoyang earnestly, "Running business and engaging in technology with you are completely different things. If you want to do this job well, you must not only work hard, but also understand the ways of the world, so A little more preparation may have an unexpected effect."

   Zhao Guoyang naturally could only nod his head in agreement with Director Ma's earnest teachings.

  Speaking of which, Ma Jian is really good at dealing with people and dealing with others.

   At the beginning, Siyang Group, a big customer, was the one who had a cheeky face and spent a full month of stalking to attack it.

  From this aspect, even if he can be like Zhao Guoyang, he has to secretly admire him.

  Helping Factory Manager Ma move a case of wine to the trunk of the car, Zhao Guoyang opened the car door and sat in.

  Originally out of politeness, Zhao Guoyang wanted to sit in the co-pilot seat and leave all the space in the back seat for the director Ma. But Ma Jian refused.

  In the words of Director Ma, sitting in the back seat alone is not convenient for talking.

  No way, the leader said so, so Zhao Guoyang could only turn around and sit next to Director Ma.

  Everything was ready, Ma Jian patted the driver Xiao Feng on the shoulder and told him to set off.

  …

   From Ninghai City to Quancheng City, the whole journey is about 600 kilometers. Although there were not many expressways in China in the early 1990s, the number of cars was also very small.

  Walking on the provincial road, the small car can often reach 100 kilometers, which is not much slower than the high speed.

  Although Xiao Feng is not very old, he has seven or eight years of driving experience. He is a very experienced driver and drives very steadily.

   The road was non-stop, and by noon, Zhao Guoyang and the others had already arrived at the southern suburbs of Quancheng City, only 20 to 30 kilometers away from the Quancheng Heavy Cavalry Group located in the urban area.

  In order to hurry, Ma Jian discussed with Zhao Guoyang, and they didn't let Xiao Feng stop for dinner, but went straight to the Heavy Cavalry Group.

   Seeing that the heavy riding group was getting closer, Zhao Guoyang found that the director of the horse factory seemed to be getting nervous gradually.

   Seeing something wrong with Director Ma's face, he asked with a little doubt: "Director Ma, you seem to have said in the past that you have been to this heavy cavalry group. Why do you seem to have something on your mind when you come this time?"

   Ma Jian looked up at Zhao Guoyang, sighed and said, "Guoyang, it is because I have been here that I am a little worried..."
