King of Industry

  Chapter 274 No rush

  Seeing Mao Zhichun and Luan Shengfeng approaching, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang quickly stopped talking and greeted them.

Consul General Luan seemed to be in a good mood. After seeing Zhao Guoyang, he waved to him with a smile and said, "Guoyang, I have discussed with Chairman Mao. Your delegation will probably stay in Sao Paulo for another week. During this week, military officer Zhang lives next to you at the consulate and is responsible for protecting your safety. How about it?"

  When Luan Shengfeng said this, a black and thin member of the consulate wearing the uniform of a military officer had already stood quietly behind Zhao Guoyang.

  Following the eyes of Consul General Luan, Zhao Guoyang noticed this very inconspicuous military officer Zhang.

  Although he didn't feel that there would be any problem with his personal safety, Zhao Guoyang also knew that Luan Shengfeng's actions had already given him enough face, and he couldn't refuse others' kindness no matter what.

   So Zhao Guoyang nodded quickly and said, "Thank you Consul General Luan for your concern, I will trouble Military Attache Zhang."

   Hearing Zhao Guoyang's polite words, the smile on Luan Shengfeng's face became a little bit brighter.

  He turned his head and whispered a few words to the thin black military officer Zhang, then shook hands with Mao Zhichun, and then got into the car and left.

  After Luan Shengfeng left, these people from Songqi Group and Military Attache Zhang were left on the scene.

  Mao Zhichun and Zhao Guoyang discussed it, and everyone went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then set off for Volkswagen Latin America in the afternoon.

  Back to the hotel, Mao Zhichun, Zhao Guoyang, and Zhang Yufang took a car left behind by the Consulate General, and the rest took another commercial vehicle.

  As for the military officer named Zhang Guodong, he rejected Mao Zhichun's invitation, and drove a small car by himself to follow the two cars at a leisurely pace.

  After getting in the car, Mao Zhichun inevitably talked to Zhao Guoyang about this military officer Zhang.

   It can be seen that Mao Zhichun is very envious of Zhao Guoyang being able to enjoy this kind of treatment as a bodyguard.

  Of course, at Mao Zhichun's level, it's definitely not jealousy. After all, when he was in Huaxia, he could also have security personnel following him at any time.

   "Guoyang, Military Officer Zhang is an excellent soldier at first glance. With him by your side, he can always take good care of you." Mao Zhichun pointed to the back and said.

  Zhao Guoyang didn't say much, just nodded with a smile.

   "By the way, Guoyang. I will go to Volkswagen Latin America in the afternoon. We will basically finalize the new Santana model. When the time comes, you should give me some advice. You are welcome!"

  Of course, Zhao Guoyang fully agreed to Chairman Mao's request.

  In fact, one of the main purposes of the delegation's visit to Sao Paulo this time is to design a brand-new commercial vehicle for Songqi Group that conforms to the living habits of Chinese people.

  In the current domestic auto market, Santana may be considered top-notch in terms of configuration, comfort, and cost performance, and its sales are far ahead.

  But anyone in the auto industry knows that auto products are updated very quickly. It is true that Santana is hot now, but no one can say how long it will last.

If you don’t take advantage of the time to come up with the main model in the future, if other car companies take the lead and come up with a competitive model first, then the road of Songqi Group in the next few years may not be able to achieve It went so smoothly.

  As for the automobile industry, Zhao Guoyang undoubtedly has a much deeper understanding than Mao Zhichun.

After hearing his request, Zhao Guoyang nodded and said: "Chairman Mao, I will definitely do my best on this matter. After these two days of consideration, I already have a general idea. In the afternoon, I can talk to the public The people from the Latin American company had an open and honest talk..."

Hearing this, the expression on Mao Zhichun's face was relaxed: "Great, Guoyang, you have an idea, so I have nothing to worry about. However, in case you come up with this plan, the design of Volkswagen Latin America If the teacher can't finish it, what should I do?"

   Zhao Guoyang naturally understood the meaning of Mao Zhichun's words.

  He thought that if Volkswagen could not come up with a good design, he wanted to stay and help.

  Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Chairman Mao, you can rest assured about this."

"The scientific research level of Volkswagen Latin America is obvious to all, and some of the ideas in my mind are also based on their existing models, and will never exceed their understanding. In addition, Minister Chen Bin and our Songqi Group The engineers work together to come up with a good model, and there will be no problem."

   "That's good, that's good!" Mao Zhichun clapped his legs and said.

   Zhang Yufang on the side listened to Zhao Guoyang talk about the concept of the new model, and secretly admired Zhao Guoyang's calm look.

   In her opinion, Zhao Guoyang, a young man, is really calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, making it impossible to connect him with a young man in his early twenties.

   What's even more rare is that Zhao Guoyang's indifference is not out of deception, but because he really thinks so in his heart.

   This is also what Zhang Yufang admires him very much.

  …

   Coming to Volkswagen Latin America again, the situation is completely different from before.

  At 1:30 in the afternoon, when the group of Songqi Group arrived, Jeffries, the chairman of Volkswagen Latin America, had already been waiting with his subordinates for a long time.

  After shaking hands with Chairman Mao Zhichun, Jeffries immediately turned his attention to Zhao Guoyang.

   "Researcher Zhao, can we sit down and have a good chat about the patent on the delayed heat dissipation system for vehicles that you applied for earlier?"

   "I have reached an agreement with the members of the board of directors and want to settle this matter as soon as possible. Look..." Jeffries said impatiently.

  Jeffries couldn’t help but be in a hurry. In the morning, a deputy director of the Sao Paulo Patent Office had called him and told him that Zhao Guoyang’s patent had been approved.

  After hearing the news, Jeffries immediately organized the members of the board of directors to meet together to study how to deal with this matter.

  At the meeting, Ayton, who is in charge of product development, gave a detailed account of Zhao Guoyang's patent on the "Delayed Cooling System for Vehicles".

  Ayton analyzed the broad prospects of this patent in the field of automobiles, especially family cars, without any exaggeration.

  Indeed, with the increasing application of turbocharging technology in cars, the market's requirements for the perfection of this technology are about to reach a peak.

  Under such circumstances, if Volkswagen is the first to launch a model that can solve this problem, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the family car market.

   Conversely, if people from other automobile companies obtain the right to use Zhao Guoyang's patent, it will also have a similar effect.

   That is to say, whoever obtains Zhao Guoyang's patent first will be the first to grab this big piece of cake.

  Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Jeffries was not in a hurry.

  After Jeffries asked this sentence, Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and said, "Mr. Jeffries, let's put aside the matter of the patent I am applying for first."

   "There has been no news from the Sao Paulo Patent Office. Whether my patent can be approved is still a question. It is too early for us to discuss this now..."

Zhao Guoyang paused and continued: "Mr. Jeffries, Chairman Mao came here today to discuss with your company the cooperation of entrusting you to design a new model. Shall we discuss this first, and then Let's talk about something else?"

   When Zhao Guoyang said this, he naturally meant to be a bit serious.

  He knows very well that there is absolutely no possibility that his patent will not be passed by the Sao Paulo Patent Office.

  The reason why the patent office has not called me is definitely for the sake of prudence, and further report to the above.

  According to Zhao Guoyang's guess, within a day or two at the latest, there should be news from the Patent Office.

  Once the patent application for the "delayed heat dissipation system for vehicles" is approved, Volkswagen Latin America will face a choice.

  Do you want to obtain the right to use this patent first at a high price, or let yourself let the wind of this patent go out, and then compete with a group of international car manufacturers for this right to use the patent.

  Based on Zhao Guoyang’s understanding of Volkswagen, they absolutely cannot choose the second path. They must first obtain the right to use this patent.

  In the future, even if this patent is also purchased by other companies, it will take a certain amount of time to verify, practice, and finally apply it to mass-produced vehicles.

   In this way, Volkswagen Latin America undoubtedly took the lead in this battle without gunpowder.

   But this opportunity, no matter how much money is spent, may not be able to buy it.

   It is precisely because Zhao Guoyang has already guessed the thinking of Volkswagen Latin America that he dared to deal with this international auto giant in this way.

   As expected, after Zhao Guoyang expressed his attitude, the muscles on Jeffries' face couldn't help twitching.

   "Yes, yes, what Researcher Zhao said makes sense. Indeed, we still need to wait for your patent to be approved before we can discuss further related cooperation matters."

   "However, our Director Ayton has already reported the previous situation to me. He is absolutely optimistic about your patent, Researcher Zhao, and it will be a matter of time before it is approved..."

   Zhao Guoyang heard the words, smiled and said: "Mr. Ayton agrees so much, I am really flattered. In this case, we might as well wait a day or two longer, maybe there will be a result?"

Hearing this, Jeffries could only temporarily put aside the topic, turned to Mao Zhichun, and raised his arms and said, "Chairman Mao, let's go to the meeting room and talk about your company's requirements for this new model in detail." .”

"For the cooperation between your two companies, we have always adhered to the concept of win-win cooperation, and we will definitely do our best. Please rest assured Chairman Mao on this point!" When Jeffries said this, his attitude was very serious. Enthusiastic, it is a different person from when we first met.
