King of Industry

"Haha, there's no problem with this, Mr. Du!" At the luncheon, after Du Yitao asked this question, Kelmenchik nodded with a smile.

Just as Du Yitao was overjoyed, Kelmenchik said again: "However, as far as I know, the 'Skoda Automobile' side has recently invited many well-known international automobile manufacturers to come to meet."

"If your country's delegation also passes by during this time period, you may collide with them!"

After Kelmenchik finished speaking, several bigwigs on the delegation side looked at each other in blank dismay.

Obviously, no one expected to encounter such a situation.

"Could it be that we really want to fight a car giant like Volkswagen Group?" Several big shots, including Du Yitao and Li Ru, hesitated.

It was Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, because Zhao Guoyang mentioned to them that Miss Jin Xiuzhu, the vice president of "Daewoo Group", and her party might also be invited by "Skoda Automobile Company", so they were not surprised at this time.

Unlike the expressions of these bosses, Zhao Guoyang's mood is quite peaceful.

In fact, after the phone call with Jin Xiuzhu, he was already ready to "fight" with several auto giants.

The only variable may be what kind of reaction the representatives of the Volkswagen Group will have after recognizing that their partner has also participated in this competition.

Of course, based on Zhao Guoyang's understanding of the behemoth of the Volkswagen Group, the possibility of the other party turning his face is very small.

After all, the Volkswagen Group has made great profits from the cooperation with the Songqi Group.

Moreover, with the booming auto market in China, the top executives of the Volkswagen Group will not break up with the Songqi Group for the sake of a "Skoda Automobile Company".

Speaking of it, "Skoda Automobile Company" is also a quasi-first-class large-scale car manufacturer in the world.

But compared with the global strategy of the "Volkswagen Group", its importance is not so important.

After Kelmenchik explained it to Du Yitao, he didn't continue this topic.

Obviously, this fat man with a rough appearance is actually a very shrewd and considerate person.

He knew that Du Yitao would definitely not be able to give his own answer now, and everything would have to wait until he went back to discuss with the delegation before giving an answer.

The luncheon ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

After Kelmenchik sent everyone out of the mansion, the big guys got into the car and bid farewell to the big guy.

When a group of people arrived at the embassy, ​​it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

After consulting the delegation, Meng Liangyu and Gu Jianbin led the big guys to the conference room on the third floor.

After everyone was seated one by one, Ambassador Meng looked at Du Yitao beside him with a smile and said, "Director Du, I would like to trouble you to formally introduce the leaders of the delegation to our embassy colleagues!"

When Du Yitao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Meng, we are all from our own family, so let's stop being polite, let me briefly introduce you and the comrades in the embassy..."

Du Yitao and Meng Liangyu were both deputy directors of the Eastern Europe Department before, and the relationship between the two has always been very good, and they didn't have much to say to each other.

After Du Yitao said this, Meng Liangyu nodded with a smile, waiting for this old friend to introduce him in detail.

As for Gu Jianbin, another boss of the embassy, ​​who was the head of Du Yitao's department before, so it is even more impossible for him to have any objections.

"This is Director Sun Zhi of the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. You must be familiar with Lao Meng and Jianbin, so I won't introduce more!"

"This is Director Li Ru of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry. Although Director Li has never been to Czechoslovakia, he has been to Eastern Europe. Lao Meng, you should have dealt with him, right?"

When Meng Liangyu heard the words, when he glanced at Li Ru, a smile appeared on his face: "Old Du, you are right, this is not the first time Director Li Ru and I have met..."

After introducing the two deputy heads of the delegation, Du Yitao then introduced the two important figures of the trip to several officials of the embassy, ​​Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong.

"Old Du, you don't need to introduce Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu. I've heard of their names a long time ago!" Meng Liangyu laughed.

Du Yitao curled his lips disapprovingly, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Guoyang.

"Success, you know the two of them well, so I won't introduce any more. The next one, Lao Meng, you must not be very familiar with!"

"Zhao Guoyang, a 'special researcher' of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, a 'special researcher' of Songqi Group and FAW Group."

"At the same time, this person is also a 'special researcher' of SJ City and Jiangnan Provincial Machinery and Electronics Industry Bureau."

"In addition, he is also the 'Chief Advisor' of our delegation! He is fully responsible for the acquisition of the shares of 'Skoda Auto'!"

Du Yitao's explanation surprised all the embassy officials present.

Everyone is very familiar with Director Du, and they also know that this boss has always been unsmiling and extremely serious in his work.

The identity of the "Researcher Zhao" he introduced was sure to be correct.

In other words, this young man in his early twenties in front of him really has so many prominent identities, how can this not shock people?

Although Meng Liangyu had mentioned some deeds of this "researcher Zhao" before Minister Huo, his understanding of him was still at the level of other people's dictation.

Therefore, after hearing Du Yitao's solemn introduction, he was naturally a little surprised.

Of course, with Ambassador Meng's concentration, he would definitely not put these surprises on his face.

After Zhao Guoyang stood up and nodded to everyone, Meng Liangyu smiled and said, "I've also heard of Researcher Zhao's name."

"This time, Lao Du and your delegation can get his full cooperation, and the acquisition of the shares of 'Skoda Automobile' will definitely go smoothly."

After Ambassador Meng expressed his attitude, other members of the embassy, ​​such as Commercial Counselor Miao Jiawei, Economic Counselor Wu Yichang, Agricultural Counselor Zheng Rongling, and Science and Technology Counselor Cao Rui, all nodded in agreement.

As for Gu Jianbin, another important person in the embassy, ​​he raised his brows slightly, as if somewhat disbelieving.

After introducing each other, we quickly got to the point.

Du Yitao first told the embassy members the primary goal of the delegation's trip.

In the end, his gaze stayed on Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong for a moment, and he said loudly: "Lao Meng, generally speaking, this is the purpose of our representative's trip."

"Obtaining more than half of the shares of the 'Skoda Automobile Company' will help us improve the level of China's automobile industry. Believe me, you should also understand..."

Meng Liangyu nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Although Minister Huo had roughly communicated with him on the phone before, after Du Yitao's detailed account just now, Meng Liangyu really felt the atmosphere of "the rain is about to come".

There is no doubt that the state has really made great efforts for this share acquisition.

Even Songqi Group and FAW Group, the two giants of domestic automobile manufacturers, had to join hands.

Although Meng Liangyu doesn't have a deep understanding of the automobile manufacturing industry, he also knows that Czechoslovakia's level in this area is absolutely beyond doubt.

If the "Huaxia Automobile Group Company" jointly funded by Songqi Group and FAW Group can win the "Skoda Automobile Company", it will undoubtedly be an exciting thing.

However, in the face of strong opponents such as "Volkswagen Group" and "Daewoo Group", even if Songqi Group and FAW Group work together, what chances of victory will they have?

Just when Meng Liangyu was thinking about this question secretly, Gu Jianbin who was at the side spoke up first.

Zhao Guoyang was the first question this boss asked.

He tilted his head, looked at Zhao Guoyang questioningly, and said, "Researcher Zhao, what Director Du said just now, it seems that the idea of ​​'small fish swallowing big fish' was first proposed by you?"

Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm" and nodded calmly.

After getting this answer, Gu Jianbin didn't think much about it, and continued to ask: "Researcher Zhao, I don't understand a question, please explain to me a little bit!"

Zhao Guoyang gave the big man a strange look, and said: "Mr. Gu, please ask me. As long as I can answer, I will know everything."

Zhao Guoyang's attitude was quite good, Gu Jianbin's expression softened a little when he heard that.

"That's right, Researcher Zhao. What I want to ask is, how did you come up with this plan of 'the little fish swallows the big fish'? Personally, I think this plan is illogical at all!"

Without waiting for Zhao Guoyang to speak, Gu Jianbin continued: "That's right, we all know that the automobile manufacturing level of 'Skoda Automobile Company' must be far higher than these domestic automobile companies."

"However, no matter how high its manufacturing level is, it can't compare with the 'Volkswagen Group' and its subsidiary 'Audi Group', right? Since Songqi Group and FAW Group already have these two partners, why bother to go far and spend big The price, how about buying the shares of Skoda?"

After Gu Jianbin asked this question, several counselors at the embassy began to whisper to each other.

Speaking of which, this issue has been discussed in the embassy before.

A few days ago, domestic bigwigs asked the embassy about the situation of "Skoda Automobile Company".

Although everyone didn't know the specific situation at that time, during the internal discussion, Miao Jiawei, the commercial counselor, and Wu Yichang, the economic counselor, both raised some questions.

Now that the matter has been settled, it is not difficult for Gu Jianbin to take advantage of the opportunity to ask this question.
