King of Industry

  Chapter 592 Fight for some benefits for yourself

   Facing the attention cast by Thomas, Yang Sen and others, Zhao Guoyang directly stated his own variables about "Daimler AG" joining this competition.

  He frowned slightly, and analyzed in a deep voice: "As a brand that mainly focuses on high-end cars, 'Daimler AG' even dispatched President Ryan this time, and its ambition is definitely not small."

   "If I am not mistaken, it is very likely that Daimler has already made a plan for the development direction of the company within two or three years."

Zhao Guoyang glanced at Thomas and said: "President Ryan and 'Daimler AG' value the acquisition of 'Skoda' shares so much, which means that, in terms of small and medium-sized models, this car giant with the most appeal in the world has to It's starting to work."

   "Of course, I'm not saying that 'Skoda' will definitely transfer its shares to 'Daimler', but its competitiveness cannot be ignored..."

   Zhao Guoyang stopped after speaking halfway.

  Some things don't need to be said too bluntly. It is the best way to let others understand by themselves.

   Sure enough, after he raised his head, the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

   Faintly, Zhao Guoyang can feel that Thomas seems to be a little afraid of "Daimler" or the president of "Ryan".

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang tilted his head and said to himself: "According to my personal analysis, the probability that 'Skoda' will end up with 'Daimler' should be the greatest."

   "Secondly, it's probably Mr. Thomas's "Volkswagen Group"..."

   What Zhao Guoyang said is actually not nonsense. Putting aside the rest of the brands under their respective brands, at least the name of "Daimler AG" itself is to surpass the "Volkswagen Group".

   "As for our Huaxia Automobile Group Company, we are in the third echelon like the other auto companies participating in this bidding, and it is very difficult to stand out..." Zhao Guoyang finally said.

  At this time, after listening to his reasonable analysis, the three big bosses of the "Popular Group" have long been secretly thinking about it.

  Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Guoyang's words really make sense.

  As old rivals in the international auto industry, the competition between "Volkswagen" and "Daimler" has been extending from Germany to foreign countries.

   In terms of "popularization", undoubtedly the "Popular Group" has done a better job.

  But in terms of luxury and comfort, "Daimler" is indeed doing its part.

   Now, according to the analysis of this researcher Zhao, "Daimler AG" may really put down its arrogance and seek a breakthrough in the big cake of "civilian vehicles", which is unacceptable to the people of "Volkswagen Group".

  Looking at Thomas, Jeffries, and others deep in thought, Zhao Guoyang knew that his strategy of "driving tigers and wolfs away" was almost successful.

  Zhao Guoyang knew very well that this kind of seed burying should not be rushed for a while, but must be fermented slowly.

  So he raised his hand and looked at his watch, and reminded with a smile: "Mr. Thomas, Mr. Yang Sen, today we are here to play golf and relax. Let's talk about work first."

   Turning his head and glanced at Jin Xiuzhu, Zhao Guoyang asked with concern: "Miss Xiuzhu, is it almost time to rest? Shall we finish the remaining half?"

   "Okay, this time, I'm going to show my real strength!" Jin Xiuzhu said cooperatively.

  The three giants of the "Volkswagen Group" looked at each other, and Thomas, who was full of thoughts, forced a smile and said, "OK, then let's play the last nine holes!"

  …

  When he came out of St. John's Golf Course, Zhao Guoyang naturally took Jin Xiuzhu's car.

   After the two got into the car, they did not forget to lower the window and waved goodbye to the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group".

  After the car window was rolled up, the calmness on Jin Xiuzhu's face disappeared immediately.

  She didn't care about the co-pilot and the female interpreter sitting, she directly took Zhao Guoyang's hand and said: "Guoyang, you are too good. Just a few words will make those three guys absent-minded."

  Miss Jin giggled and said, "You didn't see the last few shots just now. That Thomas, he seems to have lost his soul, he's even worse than me..."

   Indeed, Jin Xiuzhu's words are not exaggerating.

  Because I was thinking about what Zhao Guoyang said just now, the last nine holes, whether it was Thomas or Yang Sen, played a bit horrible.

  In the end, Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu easily beat each other by 15 strokes with 98 strokes.

  Of course, Zhao Guoyang didn't care about the outcome of the match.

   What he valued more was that his rhetoric just now finally had an effect.

  As the "Best Actress" in today's scene, Jin Xiuzhu admired Zhao Guoyang almost all over the place.

  She thought about many ways, how Zhao Guoyang should persuade people from the "Popular Group".

   Who knows, in the end this guy used a method that was much more effective than what he could think of.

   Now recalling Zhao Guoyang's free and easy narration just now, Jin Xiuzhu couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

  Seeing the young lady happy, Zhao Guoyang shook his head lightly and reminded: "Miss Xiuzhu, today is just a good start. There are still many things we need to face in the future."

   "Even if the 'Volkswagen Group' puts all its attention on the 'Daimler' side, it doesn't mean that we 'Huaxia Automobile Group' can easily win this battle."

  Zhao Guoyang looked up into Jin Xiuzhu's eyes, and said sincerely: "So, in the bidding meeting two days later, Miss Xiuzhu, you still have to do your best to help me!"

   This time, Jin Xiuzhu didn't mean to bargain.

  She directly made an "OK" gesture and said, "Don't worry, Guoyang. I will do my best to do what I promised you!"

Speaking of this, the eldest lady said to herself a little depressed: "I knew that Guoyang, you are so capable, and you can easily handle the people of the 'Popular Group'. I would not have quit this competition easily before." ..."

   Seeing the annoyed look of this "partner", Zhao Guoyang smiled for a while.

   "Miss Xiuzhu, there are many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. In the near future, you will find that things like the acquisition of 'Skoda' are really insignificant..."

   Zhao Guoyang's words were a bit exaggerated, but Jin Xiuzhu didn't doubt his meaning at all.

  The eldest lady nodded heavily, and said with a "hmm": "You can do whatever you want, in short, I have put all my treasures on you!"

  …

  When Zhao Guoyang returned to the embassy from the "Skoda Automobile Company" hotel, it was already the beginning of the lights.

  Because he was in a hurry to come back, Zhao Guoyang declined Jin Xiuzhu's invitation to go out for dinner.

   Now that he has arrived, he is already hungry.

  Going back to the room, I ate something in a hurry, and finally filled my empty stomach a little bit.

Since none of the "embassy" or "delegation" came back at this moment, Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, then went downstairs to discuss with the staff in the embassy's office, and used the landline here to make a call. long haul.

  The call was naturally to Susanna.

  Since he has the opportunity to come to an industrial powerhouse in Eastern Europe like Czechoslovakia, Zhao Guoyang naturally wants to win as many benefits as possible for himself and his partners.

  For example - mining.

  Czechoslovakia's mining industry has a long history, although it emerged relatively late in European countries. Czechoslovakia's first mining code was the basis for mining legislation in Europe and other countries.

   In addition, mining education in Czechoslovakia is also at the forefront.

  Przybram Mining Institute celebrated its 200th anniversary as early as the 1960s.

   Banska Shgavnica Mining College has always enjoyed a high reputation in Europe.

   If you can successfully get involved in the mining industry in Czechoslovakia, at least in terms of talents, there will be absolutely no shortage.

  After playing golf in the afternoon, Zhao Guoyang had already received news from Jin Xiuzhu that the largest silver mine in Czechoslovakia, the Mediwell Silver Mine, was being transferred.

  The reason is very simple. In the view of the Czechoslovak government, the residual value of this mine, which was mined as early as the twelfth century, is not much.

  From the government's point of view, since the Mediwell silver mine will be exhausted sooner or later, it is better to transfer it to resource companies in other countries at a high price while there is still output.

   On the one hand, it can relieve the huge pressure on the government's finances, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as finding a "takeover" for the Mediwell silver mine.

   Speaking of it, "Daewoo Group" actually has a lot of business in resource development.

  It's just due to the personality flaws of "South Koreans", they are generally not very interested in mineral deposits that have been developed for a long time.

  Maybe in their view, this kind of "second-hand mine" is of little use value; secondly, it is not worthy of their "noble" status.

  However, Zhao Guoyang, who has precious memories from his previous life, knows that this Mediwell silver mine is not just a "second-hand mine".

  The Medivale silver mine is located in the western region bordering Germany, where, in addition to this important deposit, there are also a large number of pegmatites containing tin, tungsten, and files.

  If they can win the Medivale silver mine and take advantage of the trend to get all the mining rights in this area, there is no doubt that the "SMS company" of himself and Susanna will take a solid step in the European continent.

  Of course, even if the memory of my previous life does not match the real situation of this world, and there are no other mineral resources in this area, that's okay.

   The output of the Medivale silver mine alone is already worth the fare.

  Among all metals, silver has the highest electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, good ductility and plasticity, easy to polish and shape, and can form alloys or pseudo-alloys with many metals.

  This kind of precious metal is very practical, so there is no need to worry about sales.

   Even Zhao Guoyang himself will definitely be useful in the future.

   "Hello, who is it?" Suzanne's sweet voice on the phone interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts.
