King of Industry

"The next speaker on the stage is Mr. Thomas, the vice president and manager of the market development department of the German Volkswagen Group. Welcome."

Amidst the applause, Thomas walked up to the stage with a smile on his face.

This guy is about 1.85 meters tall, five big and three thick, and with that big beard, if he is replaced by a black face, black hair and black eyes, he looks a bit like a character in a Huaxia novel - Li Kui.

Looking at this guy's strange appearance, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing secretly.

However, Thomas looks a bit rude, but his speech is still in place.

He first thanked the organizers and the SJ city government for giving him such an opportunity to get in touch with his counterparts in China.

After saying some nonsense, Thomas began to talk about the development history of Germanic cars. Every time he finished speaking, the translator behind him would translate a paragraph for him.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang didn't need a translator at all. He could understand the guy's words directly.

It should be said that Thomas's speech is still very provocative, and the speech is very exciting. However, the pride of being a Germanic revealed in his words still made Zhao Guoyang a little uncomfortable.

For example, when Thomas talked about the latest technology of the world's automobiles, he took out Volkswagen's "brake system load-sensing mechanism technology" and talked about it.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang knew very well that the initial development and application of this technology was on the McLaren sports car, and their Volkswagen company simply used it for reference.

At the booth, Thomas glanced at Mao Zhichun who was sitting in the front row, and said with a smile: "Our cooperation between Volkswagen Group and Songqi Group has always been very pleasant. The sales of Santana cars in China have always been in the leading position. "

"I would like to take this opportunity to report good news to everyone. Both Volkswagen Group and Songqi Group feel the need to increase the scale of cooperation and open the No. 2 factory. A new letter of intent for cooperation will be signed in just two days. Speaking of it, Songqi Group is very sincere, and the factory building has been vacated..."

The more Thomas talked, the more proud he was, and the more he talked about the topic, the more he said: "Since it is cooperation, I think we should learn from each other's strengths and cooperate sincerely."

"Technology is the advantage of our public, so we must fully own the technology shares. On this point, I hope Chairman Mao can understand a lot..."

When Thomas was speaking, Yang Sen, the director of technology development department of Volkswagen Group, who was sitting across from Mao Zhichun in the audience, was full of complacency.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Mao Zhichun's face was ashen, and he almost vomited blood out of anger.

Lu Zhen and the staff on the side gestured for a moment, stood up and took the microphone and said, "Mr. Thomas, for things like technology shares, should we follow the terms that were drawn up before? Volkswagen Group is going back on its word, but it is harmful to your reputation." damage."

Thomas waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Sir, don't make any mistakes. What we reached with Songqi Group was only a preliminary intention, and it did not form a legal contract, so it has no binding force."

"In addition, what I want to tell you is that our Volkswagen Group is already negotiating with the country of Tianzhu. If the cooperation with your country cannot continue, then we can only move to Tianzhu. Speaking of which, the labor cost of Tianzhu is even slightly lower some..."

Thomas' arrogant attitude made Huang Zhigang's face on the rostrum very gloomy.

But there is no way, although he, the mayor, can talk in the country, but he really has nothing to do with this foreigner who doesn't like oil and salt.

For the audience in the first row, everyone could see Mayor Huang's expression clearly.

Zhang Guangyao originally wanted to answer the other party's words, but he, the dean of the automotive academy, knew nothing about business, so he didn't know how to respond to the question Thomas raised.

As for Xiao Guodong and Zhu Yanyan, although they are giants in the automobile industry, they both know that their weight is not enough in the face of Yang Sen who is staring at him, so they can only watch each other face to face, helpless.

Seeing that no one dared to refute him, Thomas was even more proud.

He laughed and said, "Okay, about the latest technology research of our Volkswagen Group, I would like to ask Yang Sen, the Minister of Technology Development Department, to give you a brief introduction. Minister Yang Sen rarely has time to participate in this kind of forum. Today we are here Friends, you have to seize the opportunity..."

"Hey!" Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing when he heard Thomas say something like a cross talk.

Thomas obviously also heard Zhao Guoyang's laughter. His face sank slightly, and he glanced at Zhao Guoyang and said, "My young friend, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Zhao Guoyang patted Lu Zhen's shoulder in front of him lightly, took the microphone in his hand, and stood up calmly.

Seeing that the secret weapon was finally ready to exert its strength, although Huang Zhigang was still a little apprehensive, the look of expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Mr. Thomas, I'm sorry, I personally hold a negative attitude towards what you just said, that the Volkswagen Group has an advantage in technology." Zhao Guoyang said in standard Germanic.

Thomas didn't seem to expect that besides the translator behind him, there were people who could speak Germanic, so he was a little dazed at the moment.

At this moment, Miss Translator had woken up from the initial shock, and hastily translated what Zhao Guoyang said.

"Young man, you speak Germanic very well. But I don't quite understand what you said just now. You said that you personally hold a negative attitude, so who can you represent? Our Volkswagen Group can be negative if you say negative Is it right? Why do you say that?" Thomas narrowed his eyes and said.

Zhao Guoyang leaned the microphone against his chest, and replied calmly: "I represent an ordinary Chinese citizen. I naturally have my reasons for saying this."

"However, you're not very good at technology. In my opinion, it's better to let Mr. Yang Sen come and discuss with me."

"What?" When Thomas heard this, the muscles on his face twitched.

The young man was so fluent in German, and he was so sure that he was not very good at technology, that I couldn't seem to despise him too much.

Thinking of this, Thomas glanced at Yang Sen who was sitting below with a questioning look.

Seeing Yang Sen nod slightly, he said smoothly, "Okay, we Germans are most advocating to speak with facts. Since you insist on this, then I will ask Minister Yang Sen to discuss with you."

"I hope you can come up with the basis for what you just said, otherwise, we Germanic people will pursue the responsibility of your inappropriate words..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince you!" Zhao Guoyang said confidently.
