King of Industry

  Chapter 599 It is better to regard him as our peer

  After returning to the embassy, ​​Ambassador Meng, Du Yitao and other bigwigs held a meeting with Zhao Guoyang and discussed and studied for a long time.

   This time, although the bigwigs discussed a lot about the "Skoda Automobile Company", more of it was about the reception tonight.

   Zhao Guoyang can also understand this.

   After all, it involves the category of "military industry", which is really not a trivial matter.

  If the delegation can really make a breakthrough in this area this time, even if the "Skoda" side fails, it will definitely be considered a success.

  During the meeting, Zhao Guoyang did not express too many opinions, basically he answered whatever the leaders asked.

  Of course, when it comes to professional knowledge, he absolutely speaks clearly.

  When the meeting was coming to an end, Gu Jianbin couldn't help but asked Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, what do you think about the cooperation between Czechoslovakia and China? How sure are you?"

  Minister Gu's question is also very concerned by several other bigwigs. It's just that everyone doesn't go straight like him.

  So after he asked this question, Meng Liangyu, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi and others all looked at Zhao Guoyang expectantly.

   "Uh, there should be about 50% certainty..."

   Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, and finally gave this relatively conservative answer.

   "It's 50%, so much!" Gu Jianbin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

  Zhao Guoyang rubbed his nose, nodded calmly and said, "Yes, Minister Gu, at least, that's how I see it."

  No one will question Zhao Guoyang's point of view now. Since he thinks there is a 50% chance, it must be more or less.

  Thinking that this love has such a high chance of success, the joy on the faces of several big bosses can't be restrained.

Du Yitao seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly explained to Zhao Guoyang: "Yes, Guoyang. After participating in the auction of 'Skoda Automobile Company' the day after tomorrow, we will give you a day off, and have a good time in Prague, rest and recuperate, and then prepare To meet new challenges."

  The "challenge" mentioned by head Du naturally refers to the invitation that Mr. Hornacek may send to Zhao Guoyang in the next few days.

  In fact, based on the observations of several bigwigs at the reception, not only Hornacek, but also many "powerful people" in the "military industry" in Czechoslovakia would like to have a detailed talk with Zhao Guoyang.

   It is a good thing for Zhao Guoyang to have a holiday.

  He gave a "huh" and nodded, "Thank you, Captain Du..."

   What Zhao Guoyang thought was that he could take advantage of this day to inquire about the related matters of the Medival mining area in western Czechoslovakia.

   After finishing the meeting and returning to his room, Zhao Guoyang washed up a bit and fell asleep.

   On this day, he first had a "chance meeting" with several bigwigs from the "Volkswagen Group", and then communicated with several ministers from Czechoslovakia. It took him a lot of effort.

   After a busy day was finally over, Zhao Guoyang wanted to sleep quickly to refresh himself.

  Maybe because he was too tired, Zhao Guoyang fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  He was sleeping soundly. After Meng Liangyu, Du Yitao and other big shots came out of the conference room, they went to Captain Du's room to talk at night by candlelight.

  Du Yitao gave out a circle of cigarettes to the big guy, looked at Meng Liangyu with some seriousness and said, "Old Meng, what do you think of the analysis by our 'Researcher Zhao' just now?"

   "Based on your knowledge of these ministers from Czechoslovakia, do you think the cooperation Guoyang imagined can really come true?"

  After Du Yitao finished asking, the two deputy heads of the delegation, Sun Zhi and Li Ru, also looked nervously at Meng Liangyu.

  Indeed, among the five big shots in Du Yitao's room at this time, Meng Liangyu knew the big shots in Prague best.

   Leaving aside the old acquaintance of Kelmenchik, even Husky and Telfair have dealt with him more than once.

  His analysis of these officials from Czechoslovakia is undoubtedly the most accurate and accurate of all.

  After listening to Du Yitao's question, Meng Liangyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Old Du, I really can't answer your question."

   "Honestly, for Researcher Zhao's performance today, it is absolutely impeccable."

Meng Liangyu sighed, "I don't know if Lao Du, Director Sun, and Director Li have noticed that when communicating with the officials in Czechoslovakia, this young man seemed extraordinarily calm and not nervous at all. , as if I have experienced such a scene many times..."

   "Yeah, I feel the same way!"

Sun Zhi also heaved a long sigh and said, "When Minister Yao strongly praised this little Comrade Zhao as an 'all-rounder', I murmured for a while, wondering if there is such a person in this world? Or at such a young age? A brat."

  Meng Liangyu nodded in agreement, and then said, "Researcher Zhao's performance today is absolutely fine."

   "But it's hard to say what decision Czechoslovakia will make after listening to his judgment on the 'military industry'."

   Indeed, Meng Liangyu is telling the truth.

   After all, "military industry" is related to the lifeline of a country. Even a small country in the traditional sense like Czechoslovakia must not be ignored.

   Any decision must go through systematic demonstration and all-round consideration.

  Seeing everyone lost in thought, Ambassador Meng smiled again and said, "Everyone, don't be too depressed. After all, without Researcher Zhao, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to cooperate with him!"

"In addition, Mr. Hornacek has a very high status in the "military industry" circle in Czechoslovakia. I think that if he talks with Researcher Zhao a few days later, a good result can be achieved. , may greatly affect the attitude of the Czechoslovak government."

   "That's right, Ambassador Meng's idea coincides with mine." Li Ru nodded repeatedly, "I heard about this Mr. Hornacek when I was in China."

   "Even if you look at the world's "military industry" field, this person must be regarded as a veteran. His opinion can undoubtedly influence the thoughts of political leaders!"

  Li Ru turned his gaze to Du Yitao and said, "Director Du, I think, should we find an opportunity to order a little Guoyang in the past two days, so that he can cater more to Mr. Hornacek when he talks with Mr. Hornacek?"

  After Li Ru finished speaking, Du Yitao shook his head slowly, and said solemnly: "Director Li, I think I don't want it anymore."

   "Who is Guoyang, don't you and I not know? His knowledge in these areas and understanding of things are no worse than us old guys."

   "If we tell him this, it will easily arouse his resentment, and feel that we have not given him enough respect..."

   "I also agree with Director Du's opinion!"

  Sun Zhi on the side also nodded repeatedly, "Minister Yao in our ministry told me before that the ability of a young man like Zhao Guoyang cannot be judged by his age alone."

   "Let's see him as our peer!"

  Sun Zhi's opinion, several bigwigs are deeply convinced.

   After all, Minister Yao Gang's level and ability are well known to these bigwigs who work in the diplomatic system.

   To be able to get such high recognition from Minister Yao, it is obvious that Researcher Zhao must have excellent abilities in all aspects.

  In this case, some seemingly well-intentioned reminders are likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

   Li Ru didn't feel any embarrassment when his opinion was rejected.

   After all, he also set out for the interests of the entire delegation and the country, and there is nothing to blame.

   It's just that Researcher Zhao, who is nominally under the command of the "Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry", is so respected by the bigwigs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which makes Li Ru feel a little ironic.

  …

   Two days passed in a flash.

  Today is the day when "Skoda Auto Company" officially discusses the transfer of shares with representatives of several major automobile companies.

  Early in the morning, Zhao Guoyang had just got up and finished washing, and before he had time to go downstairs for breakfast, he was called to the meeting room downstairs by an internal call.

   Zhao Guoyang, who hurriedly put on a coat and went downstairs, saw Tang Xing walking out quickly.

  As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang, Tang Xing rushed up to greet him, and politely said to Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, Ambassador Meng, and Head Du are all here, and they are waiting for you!"

  Zhao Guoyang nodded with a "hmm", and his pace quickened a bit.

  When he rushed to the meeting room, he suddenly found that the embassy and the big bosses on both sides of the delegation were already sitting there as if they were facing enemies.

  Ambassador Meng whispered a few words with Du Yitao who was beside him from time to time, as if they were discussing something.

  On the other side, Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu were also talking in low voices.

  After seeing Zhao Guoyang coming, the atmosphere in the office was relaxed.

  Du Yitao waved to him with a smile on his face, pointed to an empty seat beside Chairman Mao and said, "Guoyang is here, sit down!"

  After Zhao Guoyang took his seat, Du Yitao nodded to Meng Liangyu, coughed and said, "Everyone already knows the procedures of the 'Skoda Automobile Company' today, so I won't go into details."

   "Next, I will announce the candidates for this meeting today!"

   "First of all, Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu, you two will definitely go. In addition, Ambassador Meng, your generals Miao Jiawei and Wu Yichang also hope to advance and retreat with our delegation!"

   "This is no problem! Jiawei, Yichang, you will go there with Captain Du and his car later. Remember, you must assist Researcher Zhao in his work!" Meng Liangyu turned to her two right-hand men.

   "Yes, Ambassador Meng, we promise to complete the task!" The two counselors said in unison.
