King of Industry

In the large conference room on the top floor of the "Skoda Comprehensive Business Building", the Huaxia delegation is meeting with the top executives of Skoda.

Skoda Larsson, the chairman just now, has already introduced the company's executives who attended the meeting to the Huaxia delegation.

In addition to himself, there are several high-level leaders such as Hassell, director of the R\u0026D department of "Skoda Auto", Rosicky, CEO of "Skoda Auto", and Janine Kellerman, head of public relations and communication of "Skoda Auto".

Among the important figures of "Skoda Automobile Company", Zhao Guoyang paid the most attention to Hassell, the director of the R\u0026D department.

According to Zhao Guoyang's previous homework, Hassel is now in the "Skoda Automobile Company" and has served the company for the longest period of time, nearly 30 years.

From a small technician to the current director of the R\u0026D department, he has experienced almost every major technological innovation in the company.

Although the products of "Skoda Automobile Company" are not famous for their technological content, some of its design concepts are still relatively advanced in Europe.

Among them, Hassel obviously contributed a lot.

In this way, the director of the R\u0026D department, who just passed 50 this year, obviously still has a lot of room for improvement in the future.

A move to a corporate board, or beyond, was foreseeable for Hassell.

Even now, Hassel's influence on "Skoda Auto" completely exceeds his current position.

Zhao Guoyang noticed early in the morning that when Skoda Larson introduced it to the Huaxia delegation, he put Mr. Hassell first.

Obviously, in the subconscious of Skoda Larsson, Hassell is more important than the other two executives.

While Zhao Guoyang was silently looking at the participating members of "Skoda", the host of Skoda Larsson had already begun to introduce the development process of their company.

It should be said that the chairman's knowledge is still very profound.

He started with Vaclav Lorraine and Vaclav Clement, the two actual guides of "Skoda", quoted extensively, and described the original entrepreneurial process of these two vividly, which is amazing.

After the succinct speaker finished speaking, the audience naturally burst into applause.

After the applause stopped, Mr. Skoda Larson smiled and turned his attention to Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao.

"Ambassador Meng, Mr. Du, that's all I have to say about the history of our 'Skoda Automobile Company'. If I continue to talk about it, it will be too much to show off."

"Next, do you want to let Hassel, the director of our R\u0026D department, introduce some of our company's existing products? Or ask the CEO Rosicky to introduce the company's operating and production status?"

After Skoda Larson said this, Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

In fact, the two bosses are not very interested in the current production and products of "Skoda Automobile Company".

In today's meeting, the only thing they want to find out is what attitude "Skoda Automobile Company" will take towards the acquisition of its shares by "Huaxia Automobile Group Company".

After a moment of silence, Meng Liangyu finally said, "Mr. Larson, don't tell lies in front of real people."

"Our delegation leader Du came to your country with a large delegation this time. Apart from friendly visits and trade promotion, the most important purpose is to participate in the acquisition of shares of 'Skoda Auto'."

When Meng Liangyu said this, Du Yitao on the side added solemnly: "Mr. Larson, I know that 'Skoda Automobile' may be more interested in international auto giants such as 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler AG'..."

"However, we still hope that you and everyone present at the meeting will listen to some of our 'Huaxia Automobile Group''s heartfelt thoughts."

Skoda Larson did not expect Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao to speak so straightforwardly, and was immediately taken aback.

However, the boss quickly reacted.

He smiled and nodded and said: "Mr. Meng and Mr. Du are right. The relationship between our two countries is very deep. It is best to spread out some things. There is no need to hide anything."

After saying these words, Skoda Larsson turned his attention to the two industry insiders on the Chinese side——Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong.

Just now when Ambassador Meng introduced to the people on the "Skoda" side, several bigwigs including Skoda Larson had already cast their attention on Mao and Wu.

Obviously, in the eyes of the "Skoda" bosses, the two executive and vice presidents of the "Huaxia Automobile Group" are the protagonists of today's meeting.

Ambassador Meng, who was sitting across from Skoda Larson, felt strange when he saw his gaze on Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong.

Indeed, everyone at the embassy already knew that the two big men, Mao and Wu, were just a cover for the delegation sent by the country this time.

The one who really played a decisive role in the delegation was actually the young man sitting at the bottom.

At this time, Skoda Larson misunderstood the situation because Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were going to speak. Meng Liangyu felt that he had to stop the matter before it became embarrassing.

After thinking about this, Ambassador Meng coughed and said: "Mr. Larson, the 'Chief Advisor' of our delegation, Zhao Guoyang, will tell everyone in the 'Skoda Company' the development trend of the world's auto industry today, and our The advantages and characteristics of 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation'..."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Skoda Larson glanced suspiciously at the unremarkable young man.

Based on Skoda Larson's understanding of China, he knows that this country is a place where seniority is relatively common.

In many cases, when dealing with Chinese officials, one can tell who is the superior and who is the subordinate only by their age.

The young man in front of him looked about the same age as the female translator of the Huaxia delegation.

In the eyes of Skoda Larsson, he naturally felt that he was a "follower" type of role, insignificant.

But now, according to Meng Liangyu's words, this young man named Zhao Guoyang seems to be a very important presence in the delegation, which naturally makes Skoda Larson a little puzzled.

Of course, doubts are doubts, Skoda Larsson will not say anything embarrassing.

After Meng Liangyu finished speaking, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay! Ambassador Meng, let's listen to Mr. Zhao's wonderful narration."

The so-called "wonderful narration" is naturally just the high-sounding words of this boss.

In fact, Skoda Larsson is not very optimistic about the young man in front of him.

As the helm of a world-renowned car company, Skoda Larsson has come into contact with many people in the industry.

In his opinion, the most important thing in the automobile industry is accumulation.

Without years of familiarity and understanding of the product, it is difficult to become an excellent "auto man"!

For example, Hassell, the director of the R\u0026D department of his own company, has been in the industry for 30 years before showing his current brilliance.

And the young man in front of him definitely didn't look more than twenty-five years old. How much does he know about cars?

With such a young man, can he make an objective assessment of the development trend of the automotive industry in the world today? Is such a fantasy thing possible?

In fact, not only Skoda Larsson, but also other "Skoda Auto" participants, including Janine Kellermann, Rosicky and other bigwigs, also held such an idea.

On the contrary, Hassel, because he is a technical background, he doesn't pay much attention to age.

In his view, as long as one has the ability and is willing to work hard, one will be able to stand out in a field.

The gazes of the people around him did not make Zhao Guoyang feel any timidity.

After Ambassador Meng nodded to him, he stood up calmly, paid attention to the audience, and then began his narration.

"Cars are changing our lives. While it brings us great convenience, it does bring some troubles."

"However, life is like this. The evaluation of any lifestyle is relative, and there is no absolute good or bad. This is a concept, an attitude, and even more a culture."

"When a consumer product reaches a certain amount, it will naturally play a role other than its 'use value' in people's lives, thus forming a culture of its own."

"Since the end of the 1980s, people's interest in cars has become more than just a matter of knowledge, but more about the changes it can bring to life."

"This change is also the driving force behind people's demand for automobiles, and it is also the driving force behind the development of the future automobile industry..."

The executives of "Skoda Automobile Company" were a little surprised by Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk.

They didn't expect that in China, where the automobile industry was relatively backward, there would be such a person who was familiar with the automobile industry.

The most important thing is that this person is only in his early twenties.

"Is it possible that this young man copied these words from some magazine or publication and used them to fool people?" Some people couldn't help thinking.

Zhao Guoyang didn't care about the gazes of these "executives" around him.

He paused for a moment, and then introduced the topic to "Skoda Auto".

"As we all know, Skoda's cars have always been famous for their economy and comfort. Among them, the economy goes without saying, let's mainly talk about the comfort."

"Because comfort is one of the changes that cars bring to our lives, and it is also a relatively important change."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering in the conference room.

"Bierre, with the level of China's auto industry, what qualifications do they have to talk about the 'comfort' of car rides in front of us?" An executive whispered to his colleagues next to him.

"Yeah, I can't figure it out either!"

The colleague frowned and said, "But it seems that this kid is not the kind of person who talks big, which is strange..."

"Hmph, don't judge people by their appearance! This kid, maybe he's trying to please the public!"

Just when everyone was discussing, Hassel looked at Zhao Guoyang with a deeper gaze.
