King of Industry

  Chapter 341 The sudden request

  Leaving the city hall, the inspection team from Bangziguo, accompanied by Mayor Huang and his entourage, arrived at Songqi Group.

  After the mighty motorcades stopped, Mao Zhichun, who had been waiting in front of the Songqi Group for a long time, hurriedly led the senior management of the Songqi Group to greet them.

  Zhao Guoyang at the back of the team noticed that the person following Mao Zhichun was the Director Liang Xiaofeng of the SJ Machinery and Electronics Industry Bureau.

  Having not seen him at the meeting before, Zhao Guoyang felt a little puzzled.

  Now he understands, it turns out that Director Liang came to Songqi Group early on to cheer up Chairman Mao.

   After Zhao Guoyang got out of the car, he naturally stood in the line in SJ City.

  Jin Xiuzhu smiled at him and walked to the Bangziguo delegation.

  Under the introduction of Huang Zhigang, Mao Zhichun shook hands with Jin Yuzhong, Jin Huansheng and other bigwigs of Daewoo Group one by one with a smile on his face.

   It can be seen that Chairman Mao attaches great importance to welcoming foreign guests today, and specially changed into a brand new navy blue suit and a big red tie.

   "Mr. Jin Yuzhong, Daewoo Group Automobile Company has a high reputation in the industry, and its independent design ability is extremely outstanding. It is a role model for us Songqi Group to learn from." Chairman Mao said with a smile.

  Mao Zhichun said this, of course, to be polite. In fact, he only knew the name of the auto industry in Bangziguo, but didn't know the details.

  Hyundai, Kia, and Daewoo, the three major automakers, Mao Zhichun can naturally name them, but he doesn't know much about their products.

  Normally speaking, there is nothing wrong with Mao Zhichun's politeness. After all, people come from afar, so they always have to be polite and give a lot of praise.

  But he knows very little about the people in Bangzi Kingdom, and he doesn't know some of the other party's arrogance.

  Other people's politeness is heard by Bangzi people, but it often encourages their arrogance and makes them even more domineering.

  After Mao Zhichun said these words at this time, Zhao Guoyang secretly yelled "Oops" in his heart.

Zhao Guoyang's worry was not wrong. After Mao Zhichun was polite, Jin Yuzhong on the opposite side straightened his face and said solemnly: "Mr. Mao, we came to your company this time mainly to see your actual production level. Is there any possibility of cooperation between the two parties?"

   "If you don't mind, I would like to visit your company's production line now. If your company's technical level does not meet our requirements, then there is no need to bother Chairman Mao."

  Jin Yuzhong's remarks can be said to be quite blunt, and he has placed his Daewoo Motor Company in a position several levels beyond the Songqi Group.

  After listening to the translation of these words by the translator, Mao Zhichun's face suddenly became a little ugly, and his eyes could not help but drift towards Mayor Huang Zhigang.

   Huang Zhigang frowned, waved his hand lightly, and signaled Mao Zhichun to lead the way.

  Actually, Huang Zhigang was a little uncomfortable with what Jin Yuzhong said just now.

  But he also knows that Daewoo Motor Company is indeed much stronger than Songqi Group in terms of strength, especially in the international market, the three major automobile brands in Bangzi Country all have certain popularity and competitiveness.

   In Mayor Huang's view, although this Jin Yuzhong is arrogant, he has the capital of arrogance.

  He also knew that Mao Zhichun must be very depressed, but Mayor Huang understood a truth better—if he falls behind, he will be beaten.

  If you want to gain the respect of others, you can only rely on Mao Zhichun and Songqi Group to fight for themselves.

   This small episode did not affect the emotions of the rest of the Bangzi Country investigation team.

  While walking forward with the group of Songqi Group, several bigwigs in the delegation pointed at the buildings and facilities of the Songqi Group factory area from time to time, talking in low voices.

  It roughly means that the infrastructure of Songqi Group is not bad, and the place is large enough. If it is included in the system of Daewoo Motor Company, it should be able to become the company's largest supporting plant in the Asia-Pacific region.

  Listening to the astonishing tone of these stickmen, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing.

  The so-called insufficiency of the human heart, this sentence can only be applied to people like Daewoo Group.

   It is true that at this stage, Songqi Group lags far behind Daewoo Motor Company both in terms of gross production value and technical equipment level.

  However, Zhao Guoyang is convinced that with the strong support of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry and the SJ City Government, coupled with the sincere cooperation with the German Volkswagen Group, Songqi Group will undergo a huge change within a few years.

   At that time, let alone the Daewoo Motor Company, even the largest Hyundai Motor Company in Bangzi Country may not be able to compare with Songqi Group.

  On the contrary, the Daewoo Group is completely unaware of the shortcomings of its own "octopus-style" expansion, and is still blindly and confidently opening new branches around the world through borrowing.

  As long as there is a sudden cold wave in the world economy, they will easily collapse in this severe debt crisis.

   It's ridiculous that these senior executives of Daewoo Group don't realize this at all, and are still complacent about their deceptive achievements.

   When the crisis really comes, they will know what pain is.

   While Zhao Guoyang was watching coldly, Jin Xiuzhu from that team came together again at some point.

   Seeing the slight sarcasm on Zhao Guoyang's face, Jin Xiuzhu asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I know that what my father said just now may be a bit inappropriate."

   "However, he also wants to see the results sooner, to see if our Daewoo Group has the possibility of cooperating with your country Songqi Group. I hope you can understand this."

   Zhao Guoyang has a good impression of this young lady of the Daewoo Group.

  After hearing her apology, Zhao Guoyang said seriously: "It's okay, I understand what you mean, Miss Jin Xiuzhu. In fact, Mr. Jin Yuzhong does have the capital to be proud."

   "From the comparison of the current development of the two companies, your company is indeed qualified to make some objective judgments on the production level of Songqi Group..."

  When Jin Xiuzhu heard the words, a pair of wonderful eyes turned to Zhao Guoyang.

  Looked at Zhao Guoyang silently for a long time, and then she said softly: "Mr. Zhao, although it's the first time we meet, I have a wonderful feeling of falling in love with you at first sight."

"I also agree with your analysis of our Republic of Korea and the relationship between your two countries just now. Deep in my heart, I feel that you are different from other people. Therefore, I have a small request, I hope you can promise."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang's face couldn't help but change a little. After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Jin Xiuzhu has something to say, please tell me. As long as it doesn't violate the principle, I will try my best to agree."

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang agreed, Jin Xiuzhu stretched her brows and said with a smile: "My request is very simple, no matter what you think of the rest of our delegation, I just hope you can be honest with me, is that okay? "

  Jin Xiuzhu's request made Zhao Guoyang feel a little abrupt.

  In fact, from the previous meeting to the chat in the same car on the road just now, he can feel that the other party is a girl with very good abilities and a lot of scheming.

   Logically speaking, this kind of strong woman should disdain dealing with people whose status is lower than her own.

  When I was introduced, I just mentioned my identity as a special researcher of the Department of Machinery and Electronics Industry of SJ City, which is not at the same level as Miss Jin.

  Now that Jin Xiuzhu is giving face so much, she wants to be honest with herself, which makes Zhao Guoyang have some new views on her.

  Although he didn't have a good impression of Bangziguo and the bigwigs of the Daewoo Group, Zhao Guoyang couldn't hold back when facing a humble and knowledgeable girl like Jin Xiuzhu.

   After coughing and avoiding the other party's gaze, Zhao Guoyang said: "Thank you, Miss Jin, for looking at me differently. Don't worry, as long as it doesn't touch on commercial secrets or sensitive topics, I can tell you everything."

  After Zhao Guoyang's statement, a relieved smile appeared on Jin Xiuzhu's face.

  The female bodyguard who had been following her all the time cast a sidelong glance at Zhao Guoyang, and murmured in her heart: I don't know if my eldest lady has suddenly acted stupidly, and why she attaches so much importance to this Chinese young man.

  A group of people came to the first production workshop of Songqi Group under the leadership of Chairman Mao of Songqi Group.

  This is the main production line of Santana, the flagship product of Songqi Group, and it is also the production line with the highest technical content within the group.

  Seeing a car passing by like flowing water, Mao Zhichun regrouped and introduced it to the guests of Bangziguo with a smile.

   "Chairman Jin, this is the "Santana" model jointly developed by our Songqi Group and German Volkswagen. In the past few years, this model has been in the leading position in sales in our country, and it is a very successful product."

  Hearing this, Jin Yuzhong nodded noncommittally, turned around and whispered a few words to Jin Huansheng, as if asking him about his knowledge of this "Santana" model.

  On the other side, Mayor Huang Zhigang was communicating with several cadres of SJ City in a low voice.

   "Xiaofeng, Songqi Group, has the itinerary for the visit been arranged? After watching the production line in a while, what else is there?" Huang Zhigang asked seriously.

  Liang Xiaofeng heard the words, and hurriedly replied: "Mayor Huang, don't worry, Chairman Mao has made arrangements here. After visiting the complete vehicle production line, it will be the engine assembly workshop, and then the laboratory and product exhibition room..."

   "Well, just arrange it!" Huang Zhigang hummed, his expression slightly relaxed.

Gao Tongzhou, the executive deputy mayor next to him, glanced at Jin Yuzhong and Jin Huansheng who were talking over there, and said with a frown: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, we guests don't play cards according to common sense. After visiting the production line in a while, don't worry about it." What kind of moth come out!"
