King of Industry

"Brother Guoyang, there may be more car companies coming today than we expected."

Mao Zhichun, who was sitting next to Zhao Guoyang, couldn't help sighing softly, watching the representatives of various companies entering the meeting room one after another.

"Yes, Researcher Zhao. Before we estimated that there were about ten participating companies. But now it is less than a quarter past nine, and there are already seven or eight companies here. The situation is not optimistic..." Wu Jianlong also Said with emotion on the side.

For this situation, Zhao Guoyang did not feel any surprise.

He smiled and explained: "Well, in fact, there are more companies coming, so it may not be a bad thing. After all, it's easy to 'fish' when the water is muddy!"

"As the 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation', we are a party that is not favored on the surface. The more participants, the better it should be for us."

Glancing at the bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" who had already appeared at the entrance, Zhao Guoyang said with a smile: "If you want to pay attention to this kind of thing, those ambitious giants are more concerned than us. too much."

Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were stunned for a moment, and then looked at what Zhao Guoyang was looking at.

When these two bosses saw Thomas, the vice president of the Volkswagen Group and the manager of the market development department, Yang Sen, the director of the technology development department, and Jeffreys, the chairman of Volkswagen Latin America, who were "frowning" over there, they showed a little understanding. look.

Because "Songqi Group" and "FAW Group" have a cooperative relationship with "Volkswagen Group", Thomas, Yang Sen, Mao and Wu all know each other.

Mao Zhichun was familiar with Jeffries because he had been to Samba country before.

After seeing these people from the "Popular Group" coming, Mao Zhichun said to Zhao Guoyang in a low voice: "Brother Guoyang, the "Popular Group" has put on a posture that they are determined to win."

"These days, when I was receiving the group of 'Volkswagen Latin America', I heard them mention Jeffries by chance. It seems that their chairman will soon be promoted. I don't know whether it is true or not..."

After Mao Zhichun finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang responded calmly: "The boss of the overseas branch, since he has participated in such a big event as the merger, he probably can't make a mistake."

After the people from the "Volkswagen Group" arrived, they were naturally led to the pre-arranged positions by the staff of the organizer "Skoda Automobile Company".

Thomas, Yang Sen, and Jeffries all noticed the people on the side of the Huaxia delegation.

After seeing Zhao Guoyang, the three bosses all showed him a friendly smile and waved to him at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang also stood up politely, and nodded to the three bosses from a distance.

The representatives of the "Public Group" received so much attention from the audience. The familiarity between the three of Thomas and Zhao Guoyang was naturally noticed by everyone.

Seeing this, Zheng Xianyong, the chairman of Hyundai Group over there, his eyes fixed, and his brows were locked into the word "Chuan".

"Father, who is that Huaxia guy? He seems to be quite awesome, even people from the 'popular' people know him? Could it be that this guy, like that guy Mo Xiaotian, is also a guy who eats the inside out?" Zheng Zhilong was a little annoyed. Said.

After hearing this, Zheng Xianyong couldn't help casting a "serious" look at his youngest son: "What nonsense are you talking about! Do your own thing well, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

After reprimanding his son, Zheng Xianyong's heart was actually far less calm than he appeared to be.

Everyone knows the strength of the "Volkswagen Group" in the industry.

Even the "leader" of Bangziguo's auto industry, which has always "highly regarded itself", the "Hyundai Group" knows that it cannot be compared with others.

Now the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" greeted and exchanged greetings "blatantly" with a young man from Huaxia. What does this mean?

In Zheng Xianyong's view, nine times out of ten this is what the "Volkswagen Group" means to further develop the huge "Huaxia" auto market.

This young man is obviously a key link in the cooperation between the two.

This made Zheng Xianyong have to pay attention to it.

In fact, after the "ice-breaking" relationship between South Korea and China in the past two years, Zheng Xianyong and his "Modern Group" have reached an internal consensus that they must take advantage of their geographical advantages to seize the huge market of "invasion". the first move.

As a neighboring country of China, South Koreans have complicated feelings about this "behemoth".

On the one hand, they will have low self-esteem in the face of this powerful neighboring country that surpassed them in the past; pride.

But in any case, there is no doubt that China is the market with the greatest potential in the world.

As the most important industrial enterprise in South Korea, many industries of Hyundai Group, such as construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, steel, machinery, trade, and transportation, have a very broad market in China.

Especially in the automotive industry, Hyundai Group has positioned "China" as the world's number one strategic market early on.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Xianyong naturally attached great importance to the close relationship between the "Popular Group" and Huaxia.

After turning his eyes around Zhao Guoyang for a few times, Mr. Zheng gradually calmed down.

"This young man needs to pay more attention!" This was Zheng Xianyong's true thought at this time.

Just as the arrival of several important figures from the "Volkswagen Group" caused a commotion in the conference room, several blond-haired, blue-eyed Europeans in suits and leather shoes came in front of the door.

The first person is over 1.85 meters tall, thin, and probably in his early forties.

Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, this man walks like flying and is full of momentum.

After this group of people came in, the staff of the "Skoda Automobile Company" ran over to greet them just like the people who had just greeted the "Volkswagen".

Noticing how respectful these staff members were to the middle-aged man, Chairman Mao beside Zhao Guoyang showed suspicion.

"Uh, Brother Guoyang, which company do these people belong to? It seems that the status in the eyes of 'Skoda' is not inferior to that of 'Volkswagen Group'!"

"Yeah, the middle-aged people here seem to be known to many people, and they are all talking about it!" Wu Jianlong also echoed.

When the two chairmen were expressing their opinions, Zhao Guoyang had roughly guessed the identities of this group of people.

Needless to say, it must be the people of "Daimler" who can faintly suppress the "Volkswagen Group" in terms of "impulse".

As for the middle-aged man in the middle, Zhao Guoyang had also seen some introductions in a magazine before-Thomas Lane, the president of "Daimler AG".

Zhao Guoyang's memory is naturally correct. When the middle-aged man was led to the area where his company was located by the staff, the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" had already stood up to greet him.

"Hi, Mr. Lane! See you again!" It was Thomas who spoke.

"Uh, so it's Mr. Thomas." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Yang Sen who was beside him.

"Mr. Yang Sen is also here, what a pleasure to meet you!"

Yang Sen has a background in technology, and speaking is not his strong point.

After saying hello to President Ryan, he stood aside silently, listening to Thomas talking to the other party.

"Mr. Ryan, you must be sure that you are in charge of Daimler in person today? Later, please be merciful!" Thomas said cheerfully.

"Mr. Thomas is too modest. We, Daimler, have a lot to learn from your Volkswagen Group in terms of small and medium models. This time, if we can successfully bid for the shares of Skoda Auto, we will It must be to organize people to go to your company to learn and ask for advice..."

Although Ryan's words were polite, the strong self-confidence in them made people feel a little breathless.

After all, Thomas is only the vice president of the "Volkswagen Group". Facing the toughness of the "Daimler AG" boss, his momentum is still a lot worse.

After Ryan made his statement, he could only smile and said: "Hehe, Mr. Ryan, our 'Volkswagen Group' is also very fond of some of the manufacturing processes and technologies of 'Skoda'. So, we can only see you on hand." It's true..."

"Okay, let's wait and see!" Ryan agreed, and then passed by the "Popular Group" people and sat in his seat.

Ryan and Thomas represent the two giants "Daimler" and "Volkswagen" respectively, and their dialogue naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

After Zhao Guoyang translated the conversation between the two to Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the faces of the two chairman's faces were a little ugly.

Obviously, Ryan's tough attitude towards winning the "Skoda" shares made the two big bosses feel a little palpitating.

On the other side, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi, and Li Ru, the three leaders of the delegation, also felt some inexplicable tension about this.

Looking at the fear on the faces of the bosses on his side, although Zhao Guoyang was a little relieved, he couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being, so he could only maintain a wait-and-see attitude first.

After the people from the two giants "Volkswagen" and "Daimler" arrived, participants from other automobile companies also entered the venue one after another.

The "Ford Group" in the United States, the "Logo Company" in France, and the "Fiat Automobile United Company" in Apennines, etc., appeared one by one.

At 9:30, the representative of the last company also entered the conference room.

Needless to say, it was Zhao Guoyang's partner, Jin Xiuzhu, and her "Daewoo Group".

Because she had communicated with Zhao Guoyang before, Jin Xiuzhu did not have any hope for this "merger and acquisition".

Coupled with the unique personality of South Koreans, it is not difficult to understand when they came to the meeting site with a little bit of pressure.
