King of Industry

In the rest area of ​​St. John's Golf Course, the arrival of three Beetles made Zhao Guoyang and Jin Xiuzhu's attention immediately turn to this side.

The door of the "red" Beetle opened, and a person stepped out first.

This man in his early forties was tall and burly, and with that big beard he was very energetic.

This guy has a high forehead and a straight nose, and he looks like he is of pure Germanic blood.

Zhao Guoyang himself is not short anymore, but looking at this man from a distance, he still faintly feels weaker than the other party.

"This is Thomas, the vice president of the Volkswagen Group and the manager of the market development department." Jin Xiuzhu reminded in a low voice.

"Uh, yes, Miss Xiuzhu, I understand." Zhao Guoyang responded.

In fact, this Thomas, Zhao Guoyang had met a long time ago, and Jin Xiuzhu didn't need to introduce him at all.

After this Mr. Thomas got out of the car, two energetic figures got off from the two cars behind.

Seeing the other two equally familiar faces, Zhao Guoyang relaxed.

Originally, he still felt that it would be difficult to achieve the effect he wanted with the chance meeting with the big men of the "Popular Group" today.

But the three big bosses who appeared this time are all acquaintances. No matter how hard the stance of this Thomas vice president is, he should listen to what he has to say.

Indeed, the two people who got out of the "Volkswagen Group" after that also had dealings with Zhao Guoyang.

One of them is Yang Sen, head of the technology development department of the "Volkswagen Group"; the other is Jeffreys, chairman and president of Volkswagen Latin America.

In fact, the appearance of Jeffries did not exceed Zhao Guoyang's expectations.

When meeting with the Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company in SJ City before, Zhao Guoyang discovered that Jeffries, the chairman, did not show up.

Although Ayton and Derek were vague about the whereabouts of their chairman, Zhao Guoyang was 50 to 60% sure that this Mr. Jeffries came to the European headquarters to report on his work.

Now it seems that my guess is not wrong. This Jeffries is indeed one of the important figures in the top management of the "Volkswagen Group", and has participated in the acquisition of "Skoda" by "Volkswagen" throughout the process.

Compared with Jeffries, Zhao Guoyang was not too sure about the appearance of Yang Sen.

You know, Yang Sen is responsible for the technology development of the entire "Volkswagen Group", and his status is even higher than that of the general chairman of the branch within the group.

Even compared to Thomas, the vice president, Yang Sen's importance is not weak at all.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the work that Yang Sen is in charge of is very important.

The "Volkswagen Group" has as many as 10,000 to 20,000 people in terms of technology alone.

From the complete vehicle to the engine, and then to the development of new automotive technologies, the tasks are too heavy.

Under such circumstances, Yang Sen, as the leader of technology, should rarely leave the headquarters for business.

Now that Mr. Yang Sen's arrival has been confirmed, Zhao Guoyang thought to himself: "It seems that the 'Volkswagen Group' is still paying special attention to the acquisition of 'Skoda Automobile' this time. Even people like Yang Sen are dispatched. Obviously, the other party Aspirations are not small."

"Under such circumstances, it seems that some of my lobbying strategies have to be changed..."

Just when Zhao Guoyang was thinking about how to impress the heavyweights of the "Popular Group", the three bigwigs from the "Popular Group" over there, accompanied by two or three entourages, came to the rest area .

Because they lived together in the "Skoda Automobile Company" hotel for the past two days, these people from the "Volkswagen Group" have obviously dealt with people from the "Daewoo Group".

For Jin Xiuzhu, a wealthy lady, it is impossible for several bigwigs in the "Popular Group" not to know each other.

After seeing the other party sitting in the lounge, the vice president Thomas was stunned for a moment, and then informed the two companions around him, ready to go over to say hello.

Following the direction of Thomas' finger, Yang Sen and Jeffries, who had been talking in low voices, raised their heads and looked forward.

When the two bosses saw Zhao Guoyang, who was smiling and whispering to Miss Jin, both of them exclaimed "Huh".

Startled by the voices of his two companions, Thomas stopped in surprise and said, "Yang Sen, Jeffries, what, didn't you recognize that Miss Jin?"

"No, no!" Yang Sen waved his hands again and again after hearing the words, "Thomas, I saw an acquaintance. No, it's the young man sitting next to Miss Jin..."

"Oh, coincidence, I know him too!" Jeffries said with some surprise.

After listening to the conversation between his two companions, Thomas was stunned.

Because the last time he was in SJ City, he only had a small argument with Zhao Guoyang, and Thomas didn't immediately recognize Zhao Guoyang's identity.

Moreover, he has been busy with business development, and he has seen too many Asian faces. It is not incomprehensible that he did not recognize Zhao Guoyang for a while.

Although Thomas didn't recognize Zhao Guoyang immediately, he also knew that this moment was really not the time to ask carefully.

Because Miss Jin's gaze has also turned to her side.

There was no way, Thomas could only cough, so he couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye and went to say hello first.

When he got closer, Thomas stretched out his hand towards Jin Xiuzhu with a smile on his face and said, "Haha, Miss Jin, I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence!"

Jin Xiuzhu was still very passable on the scene. After Thomas reached out her hand, she smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Thomas, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Then Jin Xiuzhu shook hands with Jeffries and Yang Sen respectively, and finally stood beside Zhao Guoyang in leisure time.

Because of the reaction of his two companions just now, Thomas was obviously very interested in Zhao Guoyang.

At this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Miss Jin, I don't know what position this gentleman holds in your company, can you introduce us?"

After hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu's mouth showed a "deliberate" smile.

She stroked her hair lightly, and when she was about to introduce Zhao Guoyang to the "Popular Group" people, Jeffries had already walked over to shake hands with Zhao Guoyang.

"Researcher Zhao, long time no see! When I talked with Ayton and Derek on the phone a few days ago, you seemed to be still in SJ City, right? I really didn't expect that it was only a few days later that you could be in Czechoslovakia, Seeing you! What a coincidence!"

Hearing what Jeffries meant, Zhao Guoyang said, "Mr. Jeffries, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After Jeffries and Zhao Guoyang chatted aggressively, Yang Sen on the side couldn't wait.

The boss patted Jeffries on the shoulder, stretched out his hand over him and Zhao Guoyang, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for half a year. Do you still remember me?"

"Hehe, Minister Yang Sen was joking!"

Zhao Guoyang made a performance of "humans and animals are harmless", and said frankly: "We saw it at the SJ International Auto Show a few months ago, how could we forget it so quickly?"

Hearing Zhao Guoyang said that he still knew him, Yang Sen felt a little happy in his heart.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao. After the last farewell in SJ City, I always wanted to chat with you, but I never had the chance. We met today, but I can't let you go easily!"

Hearing Yang Sen's joking words, Zhao Guoyang just smiled: "No problem, Mr. Yang Sen. I also just want to have a good chat with you!"

Noticing that Yang Sen and Zhao Guoyang were chatting so familiarly, Jeffries on the side was a little confused.

He looked at Yang Sen stupidly, and murmured: "Minister Yang Sen, when did you know Mr. Zhao again? When he and the people from 'Songqi Group' went to our Latin American branch last time, you were not there! "

Hearing this, Yang Sen laughed and said, "Jeffries, didn't you hear what I just talked about with Mr. Zhao? We have known each other since last year's Songjiang International Auto Show. We knew each other earlier than you !"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang chimed in and said, "Yes, Mr. Jeffries. I know Mr. Yang Sen, and I must be before you!"

While Zhao Guoyang and the two bigwigs from the "Volkswagen Group" were chatting proficiently in Germanic, Jin Xiuzhu on the other side and the translator behind her were already stunned.

To say that this beautiful translator, because she has been studying in Prague, is not ignorant of Germanic.

At this time, although she couldn't understand all the words Zhao Guoyang and the two talked about, she could probably hear some of them.

Obviously, the Germanic level of this good friend of the young lady is not at all below his Czech level.

Combined with the fluent "Korean" he spoke with the lady on weekdays, the lady translator was absolutely in admiration of the language talent of this "Researcher Zhao".

In the eyes looking at Zhao Guoyang, besides awe, there is still awe.

As for Jin Xiuzhu, because she didn't know that Zhao Guoyang and the two big bosses of the "Popular Group" were old acquaintances, she was naturally a little confused at this time.

Fortunately, she has long had some superstitions about Zhao Guoyang's ability, although things seem to be completely unexpected.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jin Xiuzhu also calmed down her inner emotions.

Under the gaze of the "Daewoo Group" and his party, Zhao Guoyang calmly chatted with Yang Sen and Jeffries, and then politely turned his gaze to Thomas, who was already in a daze.

"Mr. Thomas, hello! It's been several months since we last said goodbye at the Songjiang International Auto Show. I'm afraid Mr. Thomas has forgotten me?" Zhao Guoyang said to Thomas, who was looking directly at him, with a smile.

After listening to the conversation between his partner and Zhao Guoyang just now, Thomas has completely remembered what happened.

He came over with a big laugh and shook hands with Zhao Guoyang, saying: "Hehe, Mr. Zhao was joking! I thought you looked familiar just now, but I just didn't remember it for a while!"

"Then you should remember it now?" Zhao Guoyang said with a smile on his lips.
