  Chapter 253 The Focus of All Parties

  On the way to Mao Zhichun's office, Zhong Bo and Zhao Guoyang had a brief chat about the composition of Songqi Group and its personnel going to Samba.

  In addition to Mao Zhichun, chairman and general manager, there is also Chen Bin, director of the technology department of Songqi Group, and his four-member technical team.

  In addition, as Chairman Mao's chief steward and director of the General Affairs Department, Zhong Bo must also accompany him.

  At the same time, there is also a German translator in the General Affairs Department who will accompany you throughout the whole process and be responsible for communicating with the Volkswagen Group.

  Of course, since Samba is a Portuguese-speaking country, Portuguese translation is also essential.

  However, within the Songqi Group, there is no such talent for the time being. Mao Zhichun had no choice but to ask Mayor Huang Zhigang for help.

  Finally, Mayor Huang asked the following people to find a Portuguese teacher at Aurora University, and finally solved the problem.

  Listening to Zhong Bo's narration, Zhao Guoyang said "uh" and said: "Director Zhong, according to this, the team of Songqi Group going to Samba this time should be eight people?"

   "Yes, if you count as Researcher Zhao, you should have nine." Zhong Bo nodded.

   "Did Mayor Huang bring any other entourage besides the Portuguese translator?" Zhao Guoyang asked after thinking for a while.

Zhong Bo said with some embarrassment: "Researcher Zhao, it's hard for me to answer this question. Mayor Huang's visit to Samba this time, in addition to asking about the cooperation between Songqi Group, Volkswagen and Latin American Automobile Company, may also There are other things. So we don't know exactly who he needs to bring there..."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang suddenly realized.

  Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Samba in 1974, the bilateral relationship has become increasingly close.

  Not long ago, the two countries have voiced their intention to further expand bilateral trade cooperation and establish a strategic partnership.

   Mayor Huang, as the mayor, must have other tasks on this trip abroad. It is also normal to bring the first and second leaders of some government departments in SJ City to go together.

   Even some leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation may accompany Mayor Huang.

  Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Zhong Bo to know the exact number of people accompanying Mayor Huang.

  Chairman Mao's office is on the top floor. After Zhao Guoyang and Zhong Bo arrived, Mao Zhichun immediately put down the documents in hand and got up to greet him.

   "Guoyang, I'm sorry to make you wronged in the reception room!" Mao Zhichun said in greeting.

   Mao Zhichun said that, Zhao Guoyang felt a little embarrassed. He repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Chairman Mao, I'm really fine, it's actually a misunderstanding..."

   "Hehe, it's fine, it's fine!"

  After sitting on the guest sofa, Mao Zhichun smiled and waved to Zhao Guoyang, signaling him to sit beside him.

   Seeing that the chairman seemed to have something to say to Zhao Guoyang alone, Zhong Bo tactfully withdrew.

  Not long after Zhong Bo went out, a service staff outside brought over tea and a fruit plate.

   It can be seen that this slick director of the general affairs department really has his own way of handling things.

   After taking a sip of tea and chatting a few words, Mao Zhichun gradually turned to the topic.

He raised his head and said to Zhao Guoyang: "Guoyang, this trip to the Samba country of our Songqi Group has touched the hearts of all Songjiang people. Did you know that it was specially broadcast in the Songjiang news last night?" this news."

   Mao Zhichun's words did not surprise Zhao Guoyang.

  He knows that because of the in-depth cooperation between Songqi Group and German Volkswagen, the entire SJ city has placed high hopes on it.

  Combined with the super popularity of Santana in the past two years, it can be said that Songqi Group almost represents a unique business card of the entire SJ city.

   Its every move is naturally the focus of attention of all parties.

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang's slight nod, Mao Zhichun continued, "Guoyang, I really want to hear your most honest thoughts about our trip to Samba."

   "Do you think, if we go to this Volkswagen and Latin American car company this time and personally participate in the design of the new model, can we achieve the expected results?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew that this Chairman Mao must have communicated with members of the technical department of Songqi Group. He felt that the matter might be a little unclear, so he wanted to ask his own opinion and seek psychological comfort.

  Understanding this point, Zhao Guoyang naturally knew everything without saying anything.

He smiled and said in relief: "Chairman Mao, you may not know much about this Volkswagen and Latin American automobile company in Samba. Its scientific research strength is still very strong. Among the several research institutions of Volkswagen in the world, it is second only to Volkswagen, headquartered in Germany. Many well-known car models such as Golf and Beetle come from this company.”

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "So in my opinion, if our Songqi Group can really grasp the market demand for domestic family cars and give them truthful feedback. With the company's technical level and Scientific research strength, the cooperation between the two of us has almost no possibility of failure."

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mao Zhichun felt much better as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit.

He nodded again and again: "Guoyang, I feel relieved when you say that... By the way, a few days ago, the director of the technology department of our Songqi Group, Chen Bin, mentioned to me that this time he went to Volkswagen and Latin American Automobile Company Cooperation is needed, should we pay attention to the issue of technical confidentiality?"

   "What do you think of this question, Guoyang?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang secretly laughed in his heart, coughed and said seriously: "Chairman Mao, with all due respect, the current technical level of our Songqi Group, not to mention comparing with the Volkswagen and Latin American automobile companies, even if it is compared with domestic automobile companies. Compared with some car companies in China, it does not have an absolute advantage."

   "This cooperation with others, if you still think about technology secrecy, it must be of little value and meaning."

Seeing the embarrassing expression on Chairman Mao's face, Zhao Guoyang said in a mild tone as much as possible: "Chairman Mao, you should be very clear that many of the core technologies in the Santana, the most popular model of Songqi Group in recent years, are not our technology. all in their own hands..."

"Yes, Guoyang, you are right! I will explain this matter to Chen Bin later, let him go to Samba country this time, learn from others honestly, don't think about those messy things !" Mao Zhichun immediately expressed his opinion after hearing the words.

"It's okay to learn other people's advanced working methods. If you ask for advice...different people have different opinions. Maybe the plan we proposed can also inspire others? In the end, let's learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. What do you think, Mao Chairman." Zhao Guoyang said frankly.

"This word is used well, 'learn from strengths to make up for weaknesses'! Guoyang, whether our Songqi Group can make a difference this time and not let others look down on it depends entirely on you. I have 100% confidence in you. Confidence!" When Mao Zhichun finally said this, his face was extremely sincere.

  …

  Songjiang Hongqiao Airport was one of the three largest airports in China in the early 1990s.

  Almost all domestic and foreign businessmen and politicians traveling to and from important cities in East China have to take off and land here.

  At about six o'clock in the evening, Zhao Guoyang came here in Chairman Mao's car.

  The plane took off at 9 o'clock in the evening. When Zhao Guoyang and the people from Songqi Group came over after dinner, Mayor Huang and the leaders of the government department had not arrived yet.

   Seeing that it was still early, Chairman Mao talked to Zhao Guoyang, and took everyone to the teahouse at the airport for tea.

   Arriving at the teahouse, Chairman Mao naturally sat at a table with Zhao Guoyang, Zhong Bo, and Chen Bin. As for the Germanic translator, he sat at a table with the four technicians under Chen Bin.

   This Germanic translator is a man named Teng Fei.

   This man is not tall, dry and thin, about thirty years old, and he is a major in Songjiang University of Foreign Languages.

Perhaps it was said that Zhao Guoyang's Germanic skills were good. This Germanic interpreter named Teng Fei, when talking to several technicians, glanced at Zhao Guoyang from time to time, as if he was interested in this young Researcher Zhao. I am also proficient in foreign languages ​​and I am not convinced.

  Of course, this Teng Fei can also see that Chairman Mao is very polite to Zhao Guoyang, and he will not overestimate his capabilities at this time and confront him head-on.

   However, once he arrived in Samba country and communicated with the public, Teng Fei felt that this Zhao Guoyang should show his feet.

   When the time comes, I will have to see if I can speak Germanic fluently, or if this Zhao Guoyang knows a lot.

  Different from Teng Fei's vague hostility, Chen Bin, the head of the technical department of Songqi Group, respected Zhao Guoyang, and both inside and outside the words revealed the meaning of asking Zhao Guoyang for advice.

  When the four people were talking, it was basically Chairman Mao and Zhao Guoyang who were chatting, and Zhong Bo occasionally inserted a sentence or two to mediate the atmosphere.

  As for Chen Bin, he basically didn't say much, just sat and listened.

   Now that we are about to board the plane, it is impossible for Mao Zhichun to talk about something particularly important. He probably asked Zhao Guoyang about his recent life and cared about it.

When he heard that Zhao Guoyang had set up a small workshop and the business was pretty good, Mao Zhichun burst out laughing, raised his thumb, and said with admiration: "You young people have business acumen. In one year, I thought of starting my own business, it’s amazing, it’s amazing!”

Zhao Guoyang pinched his nose and said modestly: "Hey, Chairman Mao, I can't even talk about starting a business here. I'm just playing around with my friends. The main energy is still on my job at Hongda Machinery Factory .”

  Mao Zhichun waved his hand and said, "Hey, Guoyang, don't be too modest. I still know who you are. Since you set up this factory yourself, it will definitely not be bad."

   "When I have a chance, I must visit your Rongguang Machinery Factory and take a look. How about it, do you like it?"

   "Chairman Mao can come, then I must welcome 120 people." Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing.
