  Chapter 591 Thomas' temptation

   "Researcher Zhao, are you saying that your newly established automobile company, Huaxia, will also participate in this battle for the shares of the 'Skoda Auto Company'?"

  In the rest area, after hearing Zhao Guoyang's ambition, Thomas couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

   Zhao Guoyang heard the words, looked at Thomas very seriously and said, "That's right, Mr. Thomas, regarding this merger and acquisition, our Huaxia Automobile Group Company has made sufficient preparations."

"Although our company's qualifications are shallow compared with automobile manufacturing giants such as 'Volkswagen Group', 'Daimler AG' and 'Daewoo Group', we are not bad at all in terms of capital and manpower... "

   "Uh, that's right. In terms of manpower, with Researcher Zhao here, you're definitely not far behind..." Thomas froze for a moment, then frowned slightly and said.

  Although Yang Sen on the side was also surprised by Zhao Guoyang's narration, he was more concerned about what position Zhao Guoyang held in this "Huaxia Automobile Group Company".

  So he turned his head and said to Zhao Guoyang inquiringly: "Researcher Zhao, Mr. Mao and Mr. Wu are respectively the executive and vice presidents of your company. We all know that."

   "Just, I don't know what position you are currently holding in this company?"

After hearing the question from the boss, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said: "Mr. Yang Sen, I am currently in the 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company', and I am the technical director. As for the company's technology, will there be any follow-up? If there is any personnel change, then I cannot control it..."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Jeffries, who was silent next to him, smirked and raised his arms: "Researcher Zhao, your words are too modest."

   "At your level, even if you come to our "Volkswagen Latin America Company", I promise to let Ayton stand aside, haha..."

  The "Ayton" Jeffries mentioned is naturally the boss in charge of product development of their "Volkswagen Latin American Automobile".

  After Yang Sen and Jeffries chatted with Zhao Guoyang for a while, Thomas began to test.

   This boss is obviously quite afraid of Zhao Guoyang, even if the other party only joins a newly established automobile company, he dare not neglect him in the slightest.

   "Hehe, Researcher Zhao, we can be regarded as friends. I would like to discuss with you a little bit about the transfer of shares in the 'Skoda Automobile Company'. What do you think?"

  Of course Zhao Guoyang couldn’t wish for this, so he immediately nodded and said, “No problem, if Mr. Thomas has any questions, feel free to ask.”

"Speaking of which, including the two presidents of our 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company', they all have a deep relationship with your 'Volkswagen Group'. Although this acquisition, everyone is in a competitive relationship. But after leaving Prague, we are still the most Good partner, no?"

   "Of course, I completely agree with Researcher Zhao's words!"

Thomas swallowed, thought for a while and said, "Researcher Zhao, first of all, I want to know more about the first question. This time, how did you 'Huaxia Automobile Group' get the news that 'Skoda' is going to transfer shares? "

   Speaking of this, Thomas paused for a moment, and then continued to speak: "As far as I know, Mr. Larson of Skoda Automobile Company should not have invited you to China's automobile companies, right?"

  Thomas' question hit the nail on the head.

  His implication is very clear, that is to say, you "Huaxia Automobile Group Company" are not qualified to be invited by "Skoda", so why did you suddenly appear here?

   Zhao Guoyang certainly wouldn’t foolishly answer the big guy’s question, saying that he guessed all this based on the absence of Jeffries among the visitors from the “Volkswagen Latin America Company”.

  He shrugged and said, "I'm not too clear about the specifics of the invitation from the 'Skoda Company', but it should be inseparable from the friendly relationship between China and Czechoslovakia, right?"

  After Zhao Guoyang said this, the three bigwigs of the "Popular Group" exchanged glances with each other, and then nodded secretly.

  Indeed, at present, this is the only possibility.

  Thomas pondered for a moment, and then said: "Researcher Zhao, we are very convinced of your theoretical level in automobile technology, your attainment in vehicle exterior design, and your foresight in automobile development..."

  When Thomas said this, his face was so sincere that the people in the "Daewoo Group" looked at each other in dismay.

  Jin Xiuzhu looked at Zhao Guoyang with eyes intertwined with complex emotions, with mixed feelings in her heart.

  Yes, she discovered Zhao Guoyang's uniqueness a long time ago, and after the next few contacts, she was gradually attracted by his ability.

  However, Jin Xiuzhu never expected that Zhao Guoyang's level was so high.

  Mr. Thomas on the opposite side should be said to be the number one figure in the "Volkswagen Group" besides the behind-the-scenes bosses on the board of directors.

   But it was such a "BOSS" figure in the automobile industry who had such a high opinion of Zhao Guoyang, which shocked Jin Xiuzhu.

  Compared to the shocked faces of Jin Xiuzhu and the "Daewoo Group", the other two bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group", Yang Sen and Jeffries, were much calmer.

   Both of them have had in-depth contact with Zhao Guoyang, and they know his ability very well.

   There is no doubt that President Thomas' evaluation of this young man is not a problem at all.

   While everyone in the field was thinking about their own thoughts, Thomas' voice continued.

   "Just now, Researcher Zhao, you said that we may have competition in the acquisition of shares in Skoda Automobile Company, but our relationship should still be friendly. I partially agree with your point of view!"

  After President Thomas said this, there was a low cry in the rest area.

   Everyone didn't know what the boss meant when he said this, and they looked at him full of doubts.

   Zhao Guoyang, on the other hand, blinked his eyes after saying "uh", looked at Thomas and said, "I don't know what Mr. Thomas disagrees with me?"

  Thomas laughed and said, "It's not that I don't agree, it's that I think Researcher Zhao, you underestimate our friendship!"

   Without waiting for Zhao Guoyang to speak, the boss continued: "Let me tell you this, Researcher Zhao. As for the shares of 'Skoda Automobile', our 'Volkswagen Group' is still very confident in taking it."

   "Actually, Researcher Zhao, you must think the same way, right? But no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, I believe that there will never be any unhappiness between us because of this matter."

  After Thomas finished speaking, Jeffries echoed: "Yes, Researcher Zhao. In fact, every one of our auto companies that came to Prague should be full of confidence in whether they can succeed?"

   Turning his head to look at Jin Xiuzhu, Jeffries showed a kind smile and said, "It's like Miss Jin, you have the same idea, right?"

   "Uh, yes! We 'Daewoo Group' are very confident about this!"

  When Jin Xiuzhu said this, she had already scolded Jeffries in her heart.

  She and Zhao Guoyang had discussed it long ago. This time, "Daewoo Group" will only assist in the acquisition of "Skoda Automobile Company" shares, and will never participate in it.

  Although it must be settled in this way, there must be some regrets in Jin Xiuzhu's heart.

   Now that Jeffries doesn't open any pot, Jin Xiuzhu naturally slanders him secretly.

  After Thomas and Jeffries expressed their views, Zhao Guoyang was overjoyed.

   It seems that these two bosses didn't mean to target themselves and "Huaxia Automobile Group Company", so the following things will be much easier to handle.

   "What Mr. Thomas and Mr. Jeffries said are both reasonable! In fact, when we held a meeting at the 'Huaxia Automobile Group', we did not include the 'Volkswagen Group' among the competitors."

  Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said: "After all, there are too many manufacturers participating in the competition this time. Our newly established company is definitely not the primary focus of others..."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Jin Xiuzhu immediately nodded cooperatively and said, "My thoughts coincide with Mr. Zhao's."

   "The strength of our 'Daewoo Group' is in the mid-level position among so many competitors. Instead of making enemies everywhere, it is better to make more friends..."

  After Jin Xiuzhu said this, she immediately expressed her attitude.

   That is to say, "Daewoo Group" will not be too desperate for this competition, but just let nature take its course.

  In the opinion of the three bigwigs of the "Popular Group", the reason why this young lady made such a statement must be influenced by Zhao Guoyang to some extent.

  Thinking that Researcher Zhao could actually influence a "powerful person" like Jin Xiuzhu to make a decision, Thomas' expression became a little more serious.

Feeling that the fire was almost ready, Zhao Guoyang said "uh" and said: "Miss Xiuzhu said yes. To tell you the truth, I personally made a prediction about the final result of the share transfer of 'Skoda Automobile' this time... "

   "Really? I haven't heard you mention Guoyang before! Tell us about it!" Jin Xiuzhu said with an expectant look.

   "Uh... It's okay to talk about it. But in advance, this prediction is just my "personal opinion", and it doesn't mean anything against other companies!"

  As soon as Zhao Guoyang said this, Thomas' eyes lit up.

  He nodded repeatedly and said: "It doesn't matter, Researcher Zhao just agreed. Even if you regard our "Popular Group" as the biggest imaginary enemy, it's no big deal!"

   "Didn't I just say that the cooperative relationship between our two companies will not change in any way because of this incident!"
