King of Industry

  Chapter 721 Going abroad is an inevitable choice

Sitting on the plane to the capital, looking at Teacher Zhang who was smiling and listening to his speech, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, do you still remember our trip to the Samba country? How time has passed so quickly." , more than half a year has passed in a flash..."

  After hearing this, Zhang Yufang couldn't help recalling the time when he went to Samba with Mayor Huang and a group of "Songqi Group".

"That's right, Mr. Zhao, when we were on the plane, I seemed to have said it jokingly. If we have the opportunity to visit abroad together in the future, we must invite you! Because, your foreign language skills are really not ordinary. There are too many foreign language subjects that I am proficient in…”

  Zhang Yufang looked at Zhao Guoyang with admiring eyes.

  Indeed, during the last trip to the country of Samba, Zhang Yufang originally accompanied her there as a "Portuguese translator".

   Unexpectedly, Zhao Guoyang, a "special researcher" with a technical background, is not inferior to himself in the "Portuguese language level".

   Even in the translation of some professional nouns, it is more accurate than myself as a professional.

  Although Zhang Yufang has a gentle temper and has never had the heart to fight fiercely with others, this result still surprised her.

  Subsequently, during his trip to Samba, Zhao Guoyang used English and Germanic to communicate with several bigwigs from Volkswagen Latin America, and his foreign language proficiency was amazing.

   Looking back now, Zhang Yufang feels a little incredible.

Hearing Zhang Yufang's emotion, Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Foreign languages, there are actually some inferences. It's like Mr. Zhang, you have a good foundation in Portuguese, and then go to learn the Iberian Peninsula. His Spanish is much easier."

   "In addition, French and Apennines also have a lot in common. So, in this regard, I really don't think there is anything to be proud of..."

  Hearing the words, Zhang Yufang took a deep look at Zhao Guoyang, as if she didn't expect this young boss, who has always been very strong, to have such a humble side.

  After chatting a few words about foreign languages, Zhao Guoyang turned to the main topic and said, "Mr. Zhang, you have to be prepared for hardships for this 'Trip to Africa'."

   "Although the friendship between China and African countries has always been long-lasting, in all fairness, the material living conditions there are still a bit poor."

  “It can be said that, except for South Africa, which is still economically developed, almost the entire African continent is below the global poverty line. Food, water, medicine, these essential daily necessities are all lacking there.”

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's solemn reminder, Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Zhao, I have already inquired about the situation you mentioned beforehand."

   "Don't worry, when you get there, I promise to do a good job of protection. Try your best, don't let yourself get sick and become your burden!"

  After listening to Zhang Yufang's pretendingly relaxed words, Zhao Guoyang smiled for a while: "Actually, I am somewhat unfounded. The climate and environment of the African continent is actually more livable than most of our Chinese regions."

   "Especially in this season, going there to escape the summer heat is much cooler than staying in China!"

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Zhang Yufang was in a daze.

  She was stunned for a long time before she opened her mouth wide and asked, "No way, Mr. Zhao. You said Africa is cooler than ours? How is this possible?"

   Seeing Zhang Yufang's surprised look, Zhao Guoyang thought of the news about the heatstroke of Africans in China that he saw on the Internet before he was reborn.

  He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you think I'm teasing you? Actually, it's true!"

   "Why is it hotter here than in Africa in summer? It's simply because the degree of urbanization is higher than that of our African brothers."

  Zhao Guoyang shrugged and explained: "Mr. Zhang, you should know that in a city, especially in a big city like SJ, residents' life, factory production and transportation will generate huge heat."

   "Combined with the fact that the wind from the surrounding suburbs blows into the city under the action of air convection, the heat in the city is difficult to dissipate, forming a heat island effect. People feel like they are staying in a huge hot pot in the city."

   "In Africa, most of them are vast plains. Although the sun is very strong, there are winds everywhere, which makes it easy to dissipate heat. In places where the sun does not shine, the temperature is not so high!"

  Zhao Guoyang paused for a while, and then opened his voice: "In addition, the African continent spans the north and south of the equator, and the latitude spanned is still very wide, from the north of the Tropic of Cancer to the south of the Tropic of Cancer."

   "There are several types of climates such as the tropical rainforest climate near the equator, the savannah climate widely distributed on both sides of the north and south, and the subtropical and tropical desert climates in North and West Africa."

   "So except for the desert climate in the area near the Sahara, the rest of the area is not as hot as we think."

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Zhang Yufang finally understood.

She glanced at Zhao Guoyang with some admiration, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Zhao, you are not only good at technology, but also know a lot about human geography. I think, even if you go to our Aurora University, you can Be a lecturer in this field."

  Zhao Guoyang laughed and said: "I don't dare to brag about this, I just read some from books and magazines."

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang explaining the geographical environment of Africa for a while, Zhang Yufang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, do you have any specific plans for this 'Trip to Africa'?"

   "A specific plan?" Zhao Guoyang was taken aback when he heard that.

   Turning his head to look at the meaningful smile on Zhang Yufang's face, he immediately understood: Come to think of it, this teacher Zhang wants to ask himself what plan he has for promoting the products of the two companies under his control.

After thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "I really don't have a specific plan, let's adapt to the situation. In short, I am still very confident in the few products we brought over this time! "

  Zhang Yufang nodded half-understood and said: "Mr. Zhao, I personally feel that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 'SMS-GKT-MD Series Mine Hoist' from SMS Company."

   "After all, this mine hoist has been unanimously affirmed by everyone in the domestic market. It is also well received in the Samba and Latin American markets."

   "Coupled with the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, I don't think there is any doubt that this mine hoist will open the African market!"

   Zhao Guoyang did not agree with Zhang Yufang's judgment.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said: "In theory, that's true, but we can't be too optimistic. After all, the African continent is adjacent to the center of world industry - Europe. There must be full of developed European countries there. construction machinery products."

"Although the performance of our 'SMS-GKT-MD series' mine hoist is already top-notch in China. In some technologies such as the electronic control system, it has even reached the world's advanced level. But from the overall manufacturing process and stability In terms of performance, we are still no match for the world-class level for the time being.”

   "Whether it is the KB500 produced by "Caterpillar" in the United States or the EC460 produced by "Volvo Construction Equipment", in terms of stability, they must be above us."

  Zhao Guoyang said with burning eyes: "In addition, Jessie Bo in England and Liebherr in Germany also have several world-class mine hoists."

   “With so many competitors, we can’t afford to relax.”

  After Zhao Guoyang said these words, Zhang Yufang had more confidence in him.

  Her idea is very simple, the so-called "know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles". Since Mr. Zhao knows the situation of his competitors so well, it means that he has already made a comprehensive plan.

  Although the mine hoist produced by "SMS Company" is definitely not world-class, but according to Mr. Zhao himself, it is completely superior to any similar product in terms of cost performance.

   This point can be seen from the fact that this series of GKT-MD1.5x2 can beat the product of Bangziguo Hyundai Heavy Industries in the domestic market.

  Of course, the mine hoist of "Hyundai Heavy Industries" is not the same as "Caterpillar", "JCB" and other world-class construction machinery brands.

  But no matter what, Zhang Yufang is always full of confidence in her young boss.

  Zhao Guoyang didn't notice Zhang Yufang's trusting eyes looking at him. He was stroking the newly grown stubble on his chin and muttering to himself.

   "Compared with the competition between this 'Mine Hoist' series and competitors, I care more about the promotion of 'Small Excavators' in the African market!"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang was surprised.

  She blinked, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, why do you care so much about our 'small excavator'?"

   "In fact, even if this product doesn't go abroad, it's just for the 'Beijing Sanjian', it's enough for the 'SMS Company' to make a lot of money, right?"

  Being interrupted by Zhang Yufang's voice, Zhao Guoyang smiled and explained: "Mr. Zhang, you are indeed right. We decided to make this product at the beginning because of the reason of 'three constructions in the capital'."

   "Moreover, it's not just the 'Jingcheng Sanjian'. I dare say that as long as our 'small excavator' can follow the process of this sample, the sales will definitely not be much worse!"

   "However, it's really not something to be proud of just selling well in China? If you want to further increase the product competitiveness of our 'SMS company', going abroad is an inevitable choice."

  Zhao Guoyang said earnestly: "The African continent is a potentially huge market, and it is also the focus of competition among major construction machinery manufacturers in the world."

"If our 'small excavator' can gain a certain degree of recognition in this market, whether it is shovel transport machinery, hoisting machinery, compaction machinery, concrete machinery, our 'SMS' brand will be able to occupy a large market share." Take a seat..."
