King of Industry

"Researcher Zhao is really a big deal, well prepared!"

In the conference room, after Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Skoda Larson gently clapped his hands and smiled.

Zhao Guoyang sat in his seat reservedly and didn't say much.

Zhao Guoyang already has a certain understanding of the helm of "Skoda Automobile Company" after initial contact.

The other party is a typical Czechoslovakian with a frank and pragmatic style.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to "say what you have", and don't say something unnutritious because of some concerns.

In the face of the other party's praise, the best response is not to be humble, but to accept it calmly.

On the other side, after the chairman’s speech, Janine Kellerman added with a smile: “Researcher Zhao, in addition to the few auto giants you mentioned, Peugeot Motors from France, Chrysler from the United States, and the island nation The Mitsubishi Motors Group will also participate in this event two days later..."

Jian Ning Kellerman's words are naturally impossible to make up, and Zhao Guoyang absolutely believes it.

It's just that in his opinion, whether it's Peugeot, Chrysler, or Mitsubishi Motors Group, they are still far behind the two German car giants in terms of competitiveness.

Zhao Guoyang's calmness surprised everyone in "Skoda".

Jian Ning Kellerman originally thought that his supplements would put some pressure on the other party, but when he saw the young man sitting calmly, his eyes froze.

The executive was just about to say something, when the CEO of "Skoda" Rosicky over there had already spoken.

"Researcher Zhao, since you have already known the opponents you will meet before, then you should also know something about them."

"I wonder if you can talk about your views on these automakers?"

Speaking of this, Luo Xiji was afraid that Zhao Guoyang might misunderstand, so he quickly added: "Researcher Zhao, don't worry, we are just chatting casually, and the content of the conversation will never be leaked!"

For Rosicky's proposal, Skoda Larsen was the first to make a favorable comment.

The boss applauded vigorously, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, that's a good question!"

Turning to look at Zhao Guoyang, Skoda Larson showed a sincere look and said, "Researcher Zhao, you don't need to have any worries, just treat it as a chat between friends!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but slander in his heart: Damn, you said it lightly. It's just chatting, but it's really hard for me to make this evaluation...

Indeed, if Zhao Guoyang took this opportunity to slam "Volkswagen", "Daimler" and other companies, the people at "Skoda" would definitely think that he had selfish intentions.

However, if Zhao Guoyang praises these companies, it is undoubtedly setting a trap for himself, which is even more undesirable.

Of course, at this time, several bigwigs from the "Skoda" had already talked about this matter, and Zhao Guoyang had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guoyang finally coughed and opened his mouth under the hopeful eyes of Meng Liangyu, Du Yitao and other big bosses.

"For the world's auto giants such as 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler AG', I have no qualifications to comment on the current level of development of China's auto industry."

"That's good. I'll make a general analysis of the development of the automobile industry in the countries where these companies are located. I wonder if it's possible?" Zhao Guoyang tilted his head and looked at Skoda Larson.

"Yes, yes, no problem at all! We are all ears!" Skoda Larsen said with a smile on his face, looking forward to it.

Zhao Guoyang nodded his head, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it is not impossible for him to comment on "Volkswagen Group" and "Daimler AG".

But in that way, he would expose too much, which is really not a good choice.

Now expand the target to the countries where several companies are located, and talk about the development level of the automobile industry in these countries, which is not a big deal.

After a short pause, Zhao Guoyang narrated his views.

He said calmly, "First of all, let me talk about my views on the development of the French automobile industry."

The "Logo" company is an automobile company affiliated to France, so there is naturally no problem with Zhao Guoyang's choice.

"In the history of automobile development, France has always had its own special status."

"As early as 1769, Neo, a technical officer of the French Army, with the support of the government, successfully trial-produced the world's first steam car with practical value, which triggered a worldwide upsurge in researching and manufacturing cars..."

"However, a series of subsequent changes in the French government interrupted its research on cars for decades."

"It wasn't until 1828 that the Paris Technical School manufactured a steam traction car. Its original differential and independent suspension technology are still widely used in automobile manufacturing."

After a pause for a moment, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "The first gasoline-powered car that appeared in France was actually produced by the Peugeot company founded by Mr. Armand Peugeot in 1890."

"Eight years later, the 'Renault Motor Company' was officially founded..."

"Subsequently, in 1915, the birth of another automobile giant 'Citroen' also announced that the French automobile industry had officially entered a new era of 'three pillars'."

"Until now, the French auto industry is still led by these three auto giants, and the remaining small auto manufacturers are almost negligible."

When Zhao Guoyang said this, the representatives of "Skoda" in the meeting room echoed.

France is an industrial powerhouse in Western Europe. Although its automobile industry has been overtaken by countries such as Germany and England, its foundation is still there.

Just like "Skoda Automobile Company", it has always admired the French automobile industry model.

This is also the reason why "Peugeot Company" is still invited by "Skoda Automobile Company" to participate in this time's share acquisition meeting even though the strength of "Peugeot Company" is not high.

When Zhao Guoyang said this, Skoda Larson interrupted: "Researcher Zhao, I don't know what your opinion is on the development status of the French automobile industry and the performance of their cars?"

"Well, the general characteristics of French cars are small body and novel design, which are in line with the direction of popularization."

Zhao Guoyang talked eloquently: "For example, the 'Beauty' minicar of 'Renault' has always been very high in sales in Europe. Has it won several annual championships?"

"In this regard, even a giant like 'Volkswagen' is inferior to them."

"It's just a pity that the weakness of the French auto industry is also obvious. That is, it lacks sufficient competitiveness in the field of luxury cars and sports cars."

"Originally, the 'Renault' company, which carried the hope of luxury cars and sports cars in the French auto industry, lost in the competition with Germanic car companies in the 1980s, which made France even more stretched in this regard."

"I have to say that this is a pity for the French auto industry..."

After sighing, Zhao Guoyang quickly recovered his mood and continued: "Of course, the foundation of the French automobile industry is still very solid, and the technology is not behind at all."

"In the future, as long as they grasp the direction of development and cater to the needs of consumers, at least in terms of the competitiveness of small and medium-sized cars, there will be no problem..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished this paragraph, he nodded to Skoda Larsson, saying that his analysis of French cars came to an end.

Seeing his glance over, the shock on Skoda Larson's face gradually dissipated.

After a while, the applause of "crack, clap, clap" gradually sounded in the meeting room.

While applauding, Hassel was full of emotion: "Researcher Zhao's analysis is so profound, I admire it!"

Indeed, although Hassel is a technical master of "Skoda Auto Company", he also has a general understanding of the level of the automobile industry in various countries in the world.

But if he wants to analyze a country's auto industry in such detail as Zhao Guoyang did just now, it will definitely not be possible.

Obviously, Zhao Guoyang's performance completely conquered the director of the R\u0026D department of "Skoda".

Compared with Hassell's pursuit of technology, Skoda Larsen pays more attention to Zhao Guoyang's insights on the "development trend" of a country's auto industry.

After the applause gradually dissipated, Skoda Larson said with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, since you have already spoken, why don't you help us analyze the major automobile producing countries such as the United States, Germany, and the island countries?"

"Uh..." Zhao Guoyang was really helpless to this Mr. Larson who "made an inch".

To be honest, this kind of analysis is definitely a thankless task.

It is not so easy to analyze not only in line with everyone's normal thinking, but also to have bright spots and unique places.

The most important thing is that there is no benefit to be gained from his hard-working explanation, which makes Zhao Guoyang a little discouraged.

You know, before his rebirth, one of his speeches earned at least six figures.

But there is no way, since it is already like this, it is not good to give up halfway.

Zhao Guoyang touched his nose, but he could only bite the bullet and continue his hard-working speech.

"Well, let me tell you about my views on the American auto industry!"

Under the nods of a group of bigwigs, Zhao Guoyang slowly said: "There is nothing to say about the history of automobile development in the United States. Since the end of the last century, the industrial level of this country has always been at the forefront of the world."

"Specifically speaking, in the automobile industry, in 1913, Ford first used the concept of assembly line assembly in production, which brought revolutionary changes to the automobile industry..."

"The automobile industry has a history of nearly a hundred years in the United States. Its strong national power makes it easy to dominate the world's automobile industry."

"General Motors is not only the world's largest automobile company, but also the world's leading multinational group..."

"Even though the level of the German auto industry has advanced by leaps and bounds since the 1960s and 1970s, it still cannot shake the position of 'GM' as the industry leader for the time being."
