King of Industry

  Chapter 568 How should I cooperate with you

  Beside the small table, seeing Zhao Guoyang's calm expression after explaining, Jin Xiuzhu couldn't help but sighed.

   "Guoyang, you are right. In this regard, it is true that our "Daewoo Group" is not careful enough!"

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm", nodded and agreed: "Miss Xiuzhu, you can realize this so quickly, it's already very good."

   Zhao Guoyang's condescending words got Jin Xiuzhu a supercilious look.

  Seeing the displeased look of this beautiful young lady, Zhao Guoyang laughed.

After laughing, he continued: "Xiuzhu, to be honest, the top priority of your 'Daewoo Motor Company' is not to compete with the world's auto giants such as Volkswagen, Honda, and Toyota, but to beware of someone's 'backstabbing' first. !"

   "Put a knife in the back?" After hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu was puzzled.

   After the eldest lady realized it for a while, Zhao Guoyang continued: "Well, maybe I'm exaggerating."

   "But I still want to say that the biggest competitor of the 'Daewoo Group' actually comes from your South Korea!"

   "Domestic? Guoyang, you mean Hyundai Group?" Jin Xiuzhu said in surprise.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded lightly and said, "That's right, it's this company!"

   "Just like your 'Daewoo Group', Hyundai Group is also a comprehensive enterprise group that focuses on shipbuilding and automobile industries, and also operates dozens of industries such as steel, machinery, trade, transportation, metallurgy, finance, and electronics."

   "In recent years, with the increasing support from your South Korean government, the 'Hyundai Group' has also made achievements in construction and cement production."

   "And the government's strong support is something that you'Daewoo Group' doesn't have!"

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Jin Xiuzhu's brows gradually furrowed deeply.

   Obviously, the pressure brought to her by the "Modern Group" has exceeded its control.

   While Jin Xiuzhu was frowning, Zhao Guoyang's story continued.

  Looking at the girl in front of him, he said calmly: "Judging from the current development trend of the two of you, your future competition will be all-round, not just in the automobile industry!"

   "That's right, 'Hyundai Group' has indeed put a lot of pressure on us 'Daewoo Group'."

   "We want to acquire the shares of 'Skoda Automobile' this time, to some extent, it also means catching up with the other party."

  Jin Xiuzhu said honestly: "Speaking of which, there is not much difference in annual output between our two car companies."

   "If we win more than half of the shares of 'Skoda Automobile Company', there is a great chance to surpass the other party in this year's statistics..."

   Hearing Jin Xiuzhu's unconvinced words, Zhao Guoyang sighed softly and said, "Xiuzhu, you are right. Of course, your 'Daewoo Group' can catch up with the 'Hyundai Group' by acquiring the 'Skoda Automobile Company'."

   "However, have you ever thought about it? It's impossible for the 'Hyundai Group' to sit still. They can also acquire other companies..."

   "Acquire other companies?" Jin Xiuzhu's face changed drastically, as if thinking of something.

  Looking at her appearance, Zhao Guoyang knew that his guess should be close to ten.

He said earnestly: "Yes, Miss Xiuzhu. I have also analyzed it for you just now. Because the 'Hyundai Group' is fully supported by your South Korean government, it is somewhat natural compared to your 'Daewoo Group' in many aspects. Advantage."

   "For example, in terms of acquiring domestic companies, your Daewoo Group is incomparable..."

  Jin Xiuzhu was startled when she heard the words, and raised her head to look at Zhao Guoyang's bright eyes, as if she understood something.

  Originally, talking to a smart person like Jin Xiuzhu doesn't need to be too straightforward.

  But because Jin Xiuzhu is her important partner; and the "Daewoo Group" she is in charge of is also an important ally in her future industrial empire.

  So Zhao Guoyang thought about it, and stopped going around her in circles.

  He said directly: "Miss Xiuzhu, among the three major automobile companies in South Korea, the 'Kia Group' should be the weakest one, but its importance cannot be ignored."

   "What do you mean?" Jin Xiuzhu trembled, her expression a little nervous.

  Zhao Guoyang continued on his own: "Let's just say a joke, based on your South Korean government's support for the 'Hyundai Group', coupled with the current status of the 'Kia Group' that is neither awkward nor embarrassing."

   "I guess if the government ordered it to be merged into the 'Hyundai Group', what would it be like?"

  Hearing this, Jin Xiuzhu's forehead unconsciously seeped a few drops of cold sweat.

   Indeed, as analyzed by Zhao Guoyang, in the superstructure in South Korea, there has been a call some time ago that the "Kia Group" should be merged into the "Hyundai Group".

  Although this matter was only discussed by some big figures in the end, it also reminded the "Daewoo Group".

  Kim Soo-joo's father, Kim Woo-joong, convened the board of directors as soon as the rumor leaked out, and consulted all the directors for their opinions.

   It was against this background that Jin Xiuzhu officially stepped onto the stage and was appointed as the vice chairman of the company, which truly established her identity as a future successor.

  Originally, the rumor of the "Hyundai Group" acquiring the "Kia Group" was only known to a very small number of people in South Korea.

  Even Kim Woo-jung only heard a few words because he had an old relationship with a big figure in the South Korean government.

  But now, the analysis of my partner is exactly the same as the reality.

   In Jin Xiuzhu's view, this was really shocking.

  When Jin Xiuzhu was at a loss with her mouth wide open, Zhao Guoyang continued to analyze: "Miss Xiuzhu, this matter is just my wild guess, and I can't do it right."

   "However, I think the possibility of this matter still exists."

  Jin Xiuzhu heard the words and said silently in her heart: Not only does it exist, but it has a great possibility to become a reality...

  Seeing Miss Jin's dignified expression, Zhao Guoyang smiled with relief: "Miss Xiuzhu, it doesn't make sense for us to discuss too much about the possible acquisition of the 'Kia Group' by the 'Hyundai Group'."

   "As we Chinese old people often say, what should come, will always come."

   "Let's do our own thing well, and try our best to minimize the impact of this possible event."

   At this moment, Jin Xiuzhu has no idea about the acquisition of "Skoda Automobile Company".

  The only thing she is looking forward to now is that Zhao Guoyang can help this Chinese car manufacturer to take it down.

  In this way, as a smart partner, I should also get a little benefit.

  Seeing Miss Jin Xiuzhu's pensive look, Zhao Guoyang coughed and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, I analyzed two points for you just now, and the third reason is..."

  Before Zhao Guoyang had time to continue, Jin Xiuzhu waved his hand firmly and said: "Hey, Guoyang. You have already convinced me with two reasons for this matter, so there is no need to say the following."

   "I just want to know one thing now, how can I cooperate with you on this trip to Prague?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and said, "Well, let's discuss this matter in the long run."

   "By the way, Ms. Xiuzhu, has the 'Skoda Automobile' side been released?"

   "When will they invite the bigwigs from other auto companies to visit? And when will they listen to quotations from other companies?"

   "Uh, haven't you received any news about this?" Jin Xiuzhu asked a little puzzled.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded without blushing and said: "Yes. We, Huaxia Automobile Group Company, came here uninvited this time."

   "People from 'Skoda' didn't even notify us, we came here by ourselves!"

  Jin Xiuzhu showed an "I see" look in her eyes, and said with a chuckle, "It's okay to come uninvited, as long as the final result is favorable!"

   "By the way, Skoda Larsson, the chairman of Skoda Automobile Company, previously informed us of several car manufacturers that we are invited to visit in three days."

   "After the visit, he will accept our first round of offers, and then select the three most favorite ones for the final offer."

  Jin Xiuzhu stroked Fuxiu's hair and said, "After three quotations, 'Skoda Automobile' will give a final answer within a week."

   "At the same time, they will issue an announcement to officially transfer power to the new major shareholder. Basically, the overall process is like this."

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang thought about it secretly, and thought: "Three days should be enough for the embassy to sit and work."

   "What's the matter, you have to communicate with the chairman of 'Skoda Automobile' first."

   "Otherwise, why would someone from 'Skoda' trust me if I came here uninvited, or a newly established unknown car company?"

   After thinking for a while, Zhao Guoyang continued to ask: "By the way, Miss Xiuzhu. Do you know which car companies Skoda Automobile Company invited to bid this time?"

  Jin Xiuzhu took a sip of coffee, licked the watermark on her lips and said, "Well, I don't know exactly how many companies there are. But 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler Group' must be among them."

   "Daimler Group?" Zhao Guoyang was surprised when he heard the name.

   Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, the Daimler Group is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles.

  At the same time, it is the world's largest luxury car manufacturer and the second largest truck manufacturer.

  A subsidiary of Daimler AG, including Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mercedes-Benz Light Commercial Vehicles, Daimler Trucks and Daimler Financial Services.

  Each unit is taken out to crush the existence of global counterparts.

  The deterrent power of such a behemoth is even worse than that of the "Volkswagen Group".

   Even with Zhao Guoyang's calmness, when he heard the words "Daimler Group", his heart fluctuated slightly.
