King of Industry

  Chapter 848 Mao Zhichun who can't sit still

  The next morning, when Zhao Guoyang woke up, he had a splitting headache.

  Struggling to open his eyes, he saw that he was lying on a strange bed.

  Pasted on the wall opposite the bed is a poster of the sweet-looking actress Guo Shuxian who became popular through the TV series "Kunlun Slave".

   Obviously, this should be a girl's boudoir.

   Recalling the last scene I remembered yesterday, it seemed that I had clinked glasses with Director Mu and then fell down.

   So, does this room belong to that girl Mu Yiyi?

   Just when Zhao Guoyang was in a daze, the door of the room was pushed open carefully.

   "Ah, Guoyang, you're awake, that's great! Just now your phone rang twice, and I didn't dare to wake you up, I was in a hurry!"

  The one who walked into the room was Mu Yiyi who had changed into home clothes.

   "Uh..." Zhao Guoyang scratched his head, spread his hands and asked, "Yiyi, did I get drunk yesterday?"

   Mu Yiyi nodded again and again: "Yes! Guoyang, you are too heavy. I really can't send you back by myself, so I can only help you to my room and sleep all night..."

   "What about you?" Zhao Guoyang asked hastily.

  Noticing his direct gaze, Mu Yiyi blushed and said, "We have three rooms in our house, you forgot, of course I live in the guest room. Anyway, quilts are ready-made!"

   "Ah, that's good, that's good!" Zhao Guoyang nodded without thinking too much.

  Seeing that he rarely showed such a "stupid" look, Mu Yiyi couldn't help teasing: "Why, Mr. Zhao, you still expect me, the assistant to the president, to wait on you all night?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no!"

   After chatting for a few words, Zhao Guoyang quickly put on his coat and said goodbye.

   Mu Yiyi knew that he still had things to do, so she didn't stop him, but told him to take her with him when he returned to SJ City.

   To this, Zhao Guoyang of course fully agreed.

  After returning to his own room, Zhao Guoyang took out his mobile phone, first hung up the phone at home, and told his mother that he might be back here in a while.

  It's a pity that the mobile phone in the 1990s didn't have the function of recording the number of the caller, and I didn't know who it was that called me just now.

   Putting the big brother aside, Zhao Guoyang was about to take a hot shower when his big brother rang again.

  Of course Zhao Guoyang would not miss it this time. He picked up the phone and quickly pressed the "Connect" button.

   "Hi, hello, I'm Zhao Guoyang!"

   "Guoyang, I am Mao Zhichun from Songqi Group! What are you busy with? You can't get through the phone on weekends?"

  Hearing that it was Chairman Mao's call, Zhao Guoyang looked relaxed.

   "No, just happened to be absent."

Zhao Guoyang asked with a smile, "Chairman Mao, are you calling me to ask about the progress of two products under financing of our Huaxia Automobile Group Company? I am going to ask you and Director Wu about this matter. What about the long report..."

   Mao Zhichun said cheerfully after hearing the words: "No hurry, no hurry, Mr. Wu from FAW will come to our SJ city next month, when the time comes, the three of us will sit down and have a good chat about this matter."

   "I came to you, brother Guoyang, for another reason!" Mao Zhichun wanted to speak but stopped.

   Seeing Mao Zhichun hesitating, Zhao Guoyang felt a little puzzled, not knowing why Chairman Mao was looking for him.

  Mao Zhichun hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't open up about it after all. He just made an appointment with Zhao Guoyang to meet up after returning to SJ City.

  Regarding this, although Zhao Guoyang was a little at a loss, he agreed.

  After putting down the phone, Zhao Guoyang thought about the matter carefully, and felt that Chairman Mao might want to tell himself about the new products of "Songqi Group".

  In the past year or so, with the influx of automobile brands such as "Jetta", "Toyota", and "Honda" seeking partners for cooperation, "Songqi Group" has been impacted by many domestic joint venture automobile companies.

  Although the popularity of the "Santana" model seems to last for a while, the pace of the chasers behind is getting closer and closer.

  This Mao Zhichun is used to being the "big brother who takes the lead", and suddenly he may catch up with or surpass many "young brothers", so naturally he can't sit still.

  After thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang nodded in relief, basically confirming that Mao Zhichun was looking for him for the new model.

  Speaking of which, Mao Zhichun was somewhat anxious to call himself.

  In fact, what he didn't see was that the emergence of these domestic competing car companies also drove the prosperity of the entire Chinese auto market in disguise.

  As the number one brand of domestic car companies, "Songqi Group" has benefited the most from it.

   Even if the sales volume is approached by others, but in terms of comprehensive strength and production capacity, "Songqi Group" is still a well-deserved "big brother" of domestic auto companies.

  As long as this "golden signboard" is maintained well, Mao Zhichun doesn't have to think about the car model, and the Volkswagen headquarters will help him find a solution.

  Of course, since Chairman Mao has spoken to him, Zhao Guoyang must try to help as much as possible.

   "Forget it, let us release a beast in Huaxia Auto Market in advance..."

   Zhao Guoyang muttered to himself, then turned and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

  …

   When I returned to SJ City again, it was already Monday morning.

  After sending Mu Yiyi to "Xingtai International", Zhao Guoyang greeted the driver Luo Zhongxin and asked him to send himself to "Songqi Group".

   The vehicle warehouse and two production lines of "Songqi Group" have now moved to Pudong, just opposite to "Xingtai International".

   But its headquarters is still in the old place.

  Luo Zhongxin drove Zhao Guoyang on the road for nearly an hour before arriving at "Songqi Group".

  Because Zhao Guoyang's Rolls-Royce has been here more than once, everyone on the "Songqi Group" has already recognized his car, so naturally no one stopped it.

  Driving smoothly all the way to the administrative building, Zhao Guoyang greeted Luo Zhongxin and asked him to find a place to rest, and then greeted him when he was able to use the car.

  Turning around, after entering the building, an employee who had known him for a long time trotted over to help him lead the way.

   While taking the elevator, Zhao Guoyang accidentally ran into Zhong Bo, the director of the General Affairs Department.

  As soon as he saw that it was him, Director Zhong narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, you are here to find Chairman Mao, please hurry up!"

   Zhao Guoyang shook hands with him with a smile, and explained: "I have an appointment with Chairman Mao to talk about something..."

  Zhong Bo nodded clearly, and said: "No wonder Chairman Mao turned down the banquet invitation for a South Korean inspection team at noon. It turned out that he was waiting for you, Researcher Zhao!"

   "South Korea delegation?" Zhao Guoyang asked a little puzzled.

   "Yes, it seems to be the vice president of a branch under the 'Kia Group'. I want to visit our 'Songqi Group' and see if there is any possibility of cooperation!"

  After listening to his explanation, Zhao Guoyang suddenly realized and nodded.

  As one of the few auto giants in South Korea that can compete with "Hyundai Group" and "Daewoo Group", "Kia Group" has always given people the impression of being relatively low-key.

  In fact, in terms of its long history, Kia Group is the earliest automobile manufacturing company in South Korea.

  This established car company has a complete production line for passenger cars and commercial vehicles in South Korea, with an annual production capacity of more than one million vehicles. It must not be underestimated.

   Moreover, Kia's sales network is much stronger than that of "Hyundai Group" and "Daewoo Group".

  Its products are sold in more than 180 countries and regions around the world.

  In the life before rebirth, the "Hyundai Group" took advantage of the strong support of the South Korean government to annex the "Kia Group" and squeeze out the "Daewoo Group" to dominate South Korea.

  But in this life, the situation is obviously different.

   Just as Zhao Guoyang was thinking about what the arrival of the "Kia Group" meant for South Korea's domestic car companies, the elevator had already reached the top floor.

  Zhong Bo didn't get out of the elevator, but just waved his hand to Zhao Guoyang with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, since you have made an appointment with Chairman Mao, I won't send you there!"

   "Ah, it's okay, it's okay! Director Zhong, you are busy with your work, I'll just go there by myself!"

  Watching the elevator door close, Zhao Guoyang walked towards Mao Zhichun's office.

  The secretarial staff on this floor obviously knew Researcher Zhao. When he passed by, they all stopped their work and stood up and nodded to him.

  Seeing the look of hope in the eyes of the employees of "Songqi Group" looking at him, Zhao Guoyang was a little puzzled.

   "Chairman Mao said something behind my back, right?" Zhao Guoyang couldn't help muttering.

  With this doubt, Zhao Guoyang gently knocked on the door of Chairman Mao's office.

   "The door is unlocked, please come in!" Mao Zhichun's voice quickly came from inside.

   After Zhao Guoyang opened the door and went in, he couldn't help laughing.

  It turns out that Chairman Mao is wearing reading glasses, looking at a line of small print in the middle of the newspaper with his head buried.

   "Chairman Mao, what news deserves your attention!"

  Hearing Zhao Guoyang's voice, Mao Zhichun raised his head naturally.

  Seeing that he had arrived, Chairman Mao grinned: "Ah, it's Guoyang who is here. Let me tell you, why didn't the secretary knock on the door and come in without saying a word!"

  After asking Zhao Guoyang to take a seat, Mao Zhichun picked up the phone and asked the secretarial staff outside to bring over two cups of coffee.

   Not long after, the coffee was delivered.

  Mao Zhichun raised his hand and signaled to Zhao Guoyang: "Guoyang, this was brought back by the technicians sent by our Songqi Group to study in Volkswagen Latin America last month. It should suit your taste!"

  Zhao Guoyang said "Hmm", took the cup, and said "Thank you"!

  Mao Zhichun took a sip of coffee, pushed the newspaper he just read in front of Zhao Guoyang and said, "Brother Guoyang, the news you just read, see if it can be used as a reference for Songqi Group!"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang became interested.

  He nodded slightly, took the newspaper in his hand and read it carefully.
