King of Industry

  Chapter 711 Five-day preparation time

  In a meeting room of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Yao Gang and Lu Qifa are listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration attentively.

   Facing these two leaders, Zhao Guoyang didn't have any stage fright.

  He calmly recounted the results of the inspection team's trip. He neither exaggerated nor belittled everyone's contributions. Everything was based on facts.

   After Zhao Guoyang succinctly described this trip, when Bombardier, "Polaris" and "John Deere" all intend to deepen cooperation with the three companies in Huaxia, Yao Gang couldn't help asking.

   "Xiao Zhao, how to cooperate specifically, have these three companies come up with a detailed plan?"

Zhao Guoyang said "Oh", and just about to explain, Wang Jintao next to him said with a smile: "Leader, 'Polaris Company' and 'John Deer Company' have signed memorandums with our three motorcycle manufacturers. Will transfer part of the all-terrain vehicle technology to us."

   "As for 'Bombardier', it has clearly stated that it will send a team to investigate our three potential 'all-terrain vehicle' manufacturers within a month."

   "Once the inspection results are satisfactory to them, Bombardier will start an in-depth cooperation with one of our three companies in the form of capital injection..."

  Hearing this, Yao Gang's face turned into a flower with a smile.

  Before the expedition set off, he was very optimistic about Zhao Guoyang's ability to make some achievements.

  Originally, Yao Gang just thought that Zhao Guoyang's leadership might have a more accurate judgment on the North American market of "all-terrain vehicles", thus injecting confidence into the domestic "all-terrain vehicle" industry.

   But listening to Wang Jintao now, Zhao Guoyang not only brought confidence to the big guy, but also overfulfilled the task, and even won part of his technology.

  With the technical support of these first-class "all-terrain vehicle" manufacturers in North America, coupled with a group of energetic domestic companies, the vigorous development of this emerging domestic industry is already foreseeable.

   "Good, good! Guoyang, you really didn't let us down, amazing, amazing!" Yao Gang tilted his head and looked at Zhao Guoyang, full of praise.

On the other side, after Lu Qifa responded to Leader Yao, he said to Xu Guangyuan with a smile on his face: "Guangyuan, I heard you report on the phone earlier that it seems that this 'Bombardier' ​​is not just a global company. The terrain vehicle project, in other projects, also has the idea of ​​​​cooperating with our Huaxia enterprise. I don’t know if this is the case?”

  After hearing this, Xu Guangyuan nodded repeatedly and replied: "That's right, Director Lu."

"Under the efforts of Researcher Zhao, Bombardier has agreed in principle to cooperate with Huaxia in many projects such as railway transportation, urban rail transit construction, rail vehicle traction and transmission engineering, etc. .”

  Xu Guangyuan glanced at Zhao Guoyang beside him with admiring eyes, and continued to speak: "In addition, 'Qianglu Company' also agreed in principle, and will cooperate with 'Hongda Machinery Factory' in the field of agricultural and forestry machinery."

   "Researcher Zhao made all of this possible on his own! Our investigation team returned with a full load this time, and it really all depends on him!"

  After Xu Guangyuan finished speaking, the other two deputy heads of the inspection team, Wang Jintao and Ning Zhongxin, nodded their heads in agreement.

   Seeing that they were not annoyed at being robbed of the limelight, Lu Qifa couldn't help secretly marveling at the personal charm of Researcher Zhao.

   Lu Qifa knew Xu Guangyuan's subordinate very well.

  He knew that Xu Guangyuan was very capable and never convinced others.

   Even when arguing with his deputy, Hu Chunqiu, deputy director of the American and Oceanian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, he never backed down.

  But now, Xu Guangyuan is so convinced by this young researcher Zhao, which makes Lu Qifa really a little puzzled.

What surprised Lu Qifa was still behind. After Xu Guangyuan said something nice about Zhao Guoyang, Liang Hongjun, the vice president of the "Siyang Group", and Xue Ming, the vice president of the "Cheavy Cavalry Group", also listed Zhao Guoyang's "Okay" come.

  Listening to the unremitting admiration of these two state-owned enterprise leaders at the deputy department level, Lu Qifa felt a little at a loss, and felt that his worldview seemed to have collapsed.

After being praised by several heavyweights in the inspection team, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help explaining: "Leader, Director Lu, although the 'Bombardier' ​​and 'Johnny Deer' promised to cooperate with our Chinese companies Enterprises carry out in-depth cooperation, but they also put forward a lot of demands, not giving benefits in vain.”

   "For example, in terms of the production capacity of the company and the speed of market expansion, people have put forward requirements. If we want to really reach a cooperation agreement, we still have a long way to go..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Yao Gang waved his hand and said: "Hey, what you said, Guoyang, is secondary, the most important thing is to make a good impression on these enterprises of foreigners! "

  Yao Gang's words were very reasonable, and all the members of the inspection team who attended the meeting nodded their heads in agreement.

After asking everyone about their views on the huge North American manufacturing market, Yao Gang turned his head and said to Lu Qifa: "Okay, Director Lu, I think the question is almost the same today, let the big guys go back first and have a good time." Take a rest, after more than ten hours of flying, you must be tired!"

   Naturally, Lu Qifa absolutely obeyed the boss' orders.

  He explained a few words to Xu Guangyuan and asked him to send a car to send the members of the inspection team back.

  Xu Guangyuan responded, and was about to arrange a car for Zhao Guoyang first, when Yao Gang stopped him.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, Guoyang doesn't need you to arrange someone to send him off. I still have something to talk to him about. Turn around, I'll send someone to take him back to the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry!" Yao Gang waved to Xu Guangyuan waved his hands.

  After listening to the leader's order, Xu Guangyuan quickly stood up straight and responded.

  Watching Minister Yao and Zhao Guoyang whispering side by side out of the conference room, Wang Jintao, Ning Zhongxin and others slowly looked back.

   It is not the first time Zhao Guoyang has come to Yao Gang's office.

  After entering the room, he was led by Yao Gang to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

   Instructed the secretary to make tea, Yao Gang couldn't help but patted Zhao Guoyang's shoulder with emotion.

   "Guoyang, yes, this trip to North America really depends on you."

   Zhao Guoyang just wanted to be humble, but Yao Gang waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't be humble, Guoyang, Kong first went over there, and told me all about the meeting between you and the top management of 'Bombardier'."

   "Even he feels that you played a decisive factor in this trip to North America."

   Hearing such a high evaluation from Leader Yao Gang, Zhao Guoyang touched his nose, not knowing what to say.

  After a few words of emotion, Yao Gang turned to the main topic.

   "Guoyang, the trip to North America can achieve the current results, which is beyond the expectations of many people. You, the team leader, have contributed a lot."

  Yao Gang sighed slightly and said: "It is said that you have made such a great contribution just now, we old guys should give you a few days off anyway, so that you can have a good rest for a while."

   "But there is no way. The African Department of the Ministry and the trade and investment promotion group jointly organized by the China International Trade Promotion Committee have already set a time to go to Africa for inspection, just five days later."

   "So, Guoyang, you only have a maximum of five days to prepare, and you are about to set off again..."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang patted his forehead suddenly.

  Huaxia International Trade Promotion Committee is composed of representative people, enterprises and groups in Huaxia economic and trade circles. It is a national non-governmental foreign economic and trade organization and is subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

  Yu Deping, the current chairman of Huaxia Council for the Promotion of International Trade, also serves as a member of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

  Different from other countries and regions, the trade relationship between China and African countries is basically based on investment from China.

   Therefore, the Huaxia International Trade Promotion Committee plays a relatively greater role in the communication between China and African countries.

  This time, it is also reasonable for the African Department and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade to send personnel to Africa for investigation and research.

   Seeing that Zhao Guoyang didn't seem to be curious, Yao Gang couldn't help asking: "Guoyang, did you know this news early on?"

  Zhao Guoyang shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "No, no. Leader, I just got off the plane. Where did I get this news!"

   "That's right, that's why I thought about it!" Yao Gang touched the back of his head and said.

   After pondering for a moment, Yao Gang continued to explain: "Let's get down to business! The country and our Ministry of Foreign Trade attach great importance to this trip to Africa."

   "Guoyang, you should also know that many countries in Africa are good friends of our China."

   "African countries have close cooperation with us in international affairs. On many major issues, the vast majority of African countries have always given us China's strong support."

  Yao Gang took a breath and continued: "We, China, have also been actively paying attention to and supporting African peace and development issues, and supporting African countries in establishing and implementing the African Union."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded silently.

   Indeed, in the past few decades, the Chinese people have worked hard to help African countries build various economic and social infrastructures such as factories, farms, water conservancy, energy, transportation, telecommunications, culture, education and health without being rich.

   Such a friendship built with sincerity and devotion is incomparable to those "plastic flower" friendships.

   While Zhao Guoyang was thinking to himself, Yao Gang continued to speak: "Although most African countries are relatively poor and have poor infrastructure, many of their natural resources are extremely rich."

   "This time, our Ministry of Foreign Trade organized this huge delegation in the past, just to make immediate progress in resource development..."
