King of Industry

  Chapter 588 We are a 'strategic partner' relationship

   While Zhao Guoyang and Thomas were having a lively chat, the smile on Jin Xiuzhu's face next to him gradually froze.

  Zhao Guoyang mentioned to her before that he might know someone from the "Popular Group".

   From Jin Xiuzhu's understanding, it is natural that Zhao Guoyang has heard of his name, but they don't know him.

   But seeing this situation now, Jin Xiuzhu was a little dumbfounded.

  The three bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" don't know Zhao Guoyang.

  Looking at this warm and polite attitude, I almost call him brothers.

  As soon as she thought that she had been "made a trick" by Zhao Guoyang unintentionally, Jin Xiuzhu looked at Zhao Guoyang with a bit of fierce eyes.

  Of course, as Zhao Guoyang's partner, she certainly hopes that Zhao Guoyang will be as powerful as possible.

   Therefore, Jin Xiuzhu was a little unhappy with Zhao Guoyang on the surface, but she was quite happy in her heart.

   On the other side, after Zhao Guoyang greeted the three bigwigs from the "Volkswagen Group", he said indifferently: "Mr. Thomas, you, Mr. Yang Sen, and Mr. Jeffries are here to play golf?"

  Hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu behind him muttered: "Guoyang's acting is good enough, he really knows what he is asking."

  Thomas and Yang Sen had no doubt about him, so of course they nodded in agreement.

  Jeffries waved his hands with a smile and said, "I'm not interested in this stuff, so I was dragged here by force."

  Thomas turned around and smiled at Jeffries, "Haha, Jeffries, you're not interested because there is no golf course in the Latin American branch, right?"

   "Hehe, don't worry, after two years, after you transfer back to the headquarters, even if you don't want to fight, someone will invite you..."

  Thomas's words contained a lot of information, but Zhao Guoyang remembered them all accurately.

   First of all, the branches of the "Volkswagen Group" around the world will change their leaders every few years.

  Secondly, Thomas should have a good relationship with Jeffries and Yang Sen. Bringing him to play golf now is obviously paving the way for his future development.

  Finally, at the headquarters of the "Volkswagen Group", there must be a big boss who is a "golf" enthusiast.

   Moreover, this person's status is definitely not low, at least not inferior to Thomas.

   Calculated in this way, this person is at least at the level of the vice president of the "Volkswagen Group" headquarters.

   While Zhao Guoyang was thinking to himself, Yang Sen spoke again.

  The head of the technology development department left a very deep impression on Zhao Guoyang at the Songjiang International Auto Show.

   At this time, he finally had the opportunity to meet again. Of course, he wanted to communicate with Zhao Guoyang.

  I saw this technical tycoon smiling and looking at Zhao Guoyang, saying: "Mr. Zhao, you and Ms. Jin haven't started activities yet, have you? Since we happened to meet today, why don't we have a friendly match?"

   "Yes, yes, yes, Yang Sen's proposal is good!"

  Thomas immediately expressed his opinion when he heard the words, "Friendly match is good. It happens that we can play with Researcher Zhao and Ms. Jin and exchange ideas while playing ball. Isn't there an old saying in your country that friendship comes first and competition comes second!"

  Listening to the golden sentence "friendship first, competition second" from the mouths of two foreign friends, Zhao Guoyang secretly laughed in his heart.

  However, the invitation from the two bigwigs of the "Popular Group" was exactly the opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time, how could Zhao Guoyang let it go lightly.

  So he turned his head, pretended to ask for Jin Xiuzhu's opinion, and said, "Of course I have no problem. Uh, Miss Xiuzhu, what do you mean?"

   In front of outsiders, Jin Xiuzhu behaved quite dignified and quiet.

  She nodded lightly and replied: "Well, Guoyang, you can make the decision, I'm fine!"

Thomas has a great "ball addiction". After seeing that both Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu agreed, he couldn't wait to say to the manager Davis who had been standing behind him for a long time: "Mr. Davis, you heard it too, right?" Please help the four of us get ready."

  Davis certainly knows this big guy. After he spoke, the manager hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I will have someone prepare the venue. After five minutes, the game can start."

   "Ah, that's right. I don't know Mr. Thomas, what rules are you and Miss Jin playing here? Foursomes or foursomes?"

  After hearing this, the "novice" Jeffries on the side asked with some doubts: "Manager Davis, what do these foursomes and foursomes mean?"

"Foursomes is a foursomes game in which two players play as partners. The two teammates play only one ball, and the partners must alternately play from the teeing ground in any given round, on each hole. They also have to alternate during the course of the game."

   "In addition, the penalty stroke does not affect the order of play." Davis explained carefully.

"As for the four-ball game, it is a game between two teams and each team has two players against two players. Each player plays one ball, but in the next second shot, each team can choose the better ball position in the same group to play the second shot. Two strokes."

"That is to say, two people on the same team can be in the best position of the first shot in the same group, and each shot one shot counts as the second shot. Assuming that PAR4 hits the green, they can also choose a position closer to the hole. Two people in the same group can push twice at this position, of course, if the person who pushes first has already pushed into the hole, the other person does not need to push.”

  When the Davis manager explained, he used a lot of "golf" technical terms, and Jeffries was taken aback for a while.

  However, because Zhao Guoyang often played "golf" in his previous life, he is no stranger to these "technical terms".

   For example, "PAR4" is "par 4".

   As for the "green", the English is puttinggreen, which refers to the lawn where the hole is located. The word green is a transliteration of English green.

   Thomas must know the rules of "golf" well.

  After Davis explained it, he waved his hand and said: "I think it's better to play foursomes, it's more interesting..."

   Indeed, from the perspective of the rules, the four-ball game system can easily make it easy for the lower-level player in a team to have little chance to swing.

   In the case of four-ball game, there will be no such problem.

   After all, everyone takes turns to shoot shots, even if the level is slightly lower, they will not feel left out.

  After Thomas made his decision, he did not forget to consult Jin Xiuzhu and Zhao Guoyang for their opinions.

   In this regard, the two of them will certainly not say anything against it.

  Speaking of which, this friendly match is really meaningless to the two of them, it is purely for getting close to these big guys from the "Volkswagen Group".

   After the two sides determined the rules of the game, manager Davis hurried over to make arrangements.

   While waiting, Jeffries asked Zhao Guoyang with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, who are you and Miss Jin Xiuzhu?"

   Hearing that the boss asked about this, Zhao Guoyang quickly said with a straight face: "Chairman Jeffries, Miss Xiuzhu and I are good friends and good partners in business."

   On the other side, after the translator whispered a few words to her, Jin Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Jeffries, Guoyang and I have a very harmonious relationship with each other!"

   "Well, to use a fashionable phrase, we are in a 'strategic partnership' relationship!"

   After Jin Xiuzhu said this, the three bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little surprised.

   You must know that although the "Daewoo Group" is far behind the "Volkswagen Group" in terms of the automobile industry, it is not much worse than the "Volkswagen Group" including its comprehensive strength in other fields.

   Strictly speaking, the two can be regarded as international giants at the same level.

  Different from the "shareholding system" of Volkswagen Group, "Daewoo Group" is more like a family business.

   Jin Xiuzhu, the vice chairman who has been established as the heir, is obviously higher than Thomas in the "Volkswagen Group".

   Now such a big man whose identity is faintly higher than his own, actually said that he and this "Researcher Zhao" are partners, which is really beyond Thomas' expectations.

   Not only Thomas, but Jeffries was also very surprised by the relationship between Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu.

  When Zhao Guoyang visited the Latin American branch with "Songqi Group" before, Jeffries knew that this young "technical talent" was by no means a "thing in the pool".

  However, Zhao Guoyang was able to get involved so quickly with the daughter of the "Daewoo Group" on an equal footing, which still made him somewhat unexpected.

  In contrast, Yang Sen, who is engaged in technology, is much more open-minded.

When Thomas and Jeffries were in a daze, he held Zhao Guoyang's arm with a smile on his face and said, "Researcher Zhao, your 'Patent for Vehicle Delayed Cooling System' has ruthlessly killed us." Volkswagen Group's a sum!"

Looking into Zhao Guoyang's eyes, Yang Sen smiled and said, "If I hadn't met Jeffries this time, I would not have known that you were in the branch of our 'Volkswagen Latin America Company' and came up with this 'patent'... "

   "Researcher Zhao, at least we have some friendship. If you come up with any good patents in the future, you must inform me..."

  Listening to Minister Yang Sen's teasing words, Zhao Guoyang laughed: "Mr. Yang Sen, I also want to create a few more patents, but I have been busy with other work, and I really don't have time..."

   After Zhao Guoyang said these words, Jin Xiuzhu beside him couldn't help being a little terrified.

   She secretly slandered in her heart: "Guoyang really dares to brag. If you can come up with a few popular patents casually, what is the technology research and development director of the 'Volkswagen Group' doing?"

   Originally thought that after Zhao Guoyang said this, he would definitely be refuted by Yang Sen.

  Who knew that Yang Sen nodded in a serious manner and echoed: "Researcher Zhao is right, and I heard Jeffreys say it too. You seem to have a lot of work at hand..."

   "Sigh, it is indeed a great loss for the industry that Researcher Zhao cannot fully devote himself to the 'auto industry'..." Jeffries also sighed.
