King of Industry

  Chapter 601 When the water is mixed, it is easy to "fish"

   "Brother Guoyang, there may be more car companies coming today than we expected."

  Looking at the representatives of various enterprises entering the conference room one after another, Mao Zhichun, who was sitting next to Zhao Guoyang, couldn't help sighing in a low voice.

"Yes, Researcher Zhao. Before we estimated that there were about ten participating companies. But now it is less than a quarter past nine, and there are already seven or eight companies here. The situation is not optimistic..." Wu Jianlong also The side said with emotion.

   Zhao Guoyang didn't feel any surprise about this situation.

  He smiled and explained: "Well, in fact, there are more companies coming, so it may not be a bad thing. After all, the water is muddy, so it's easy to 'fish'!"

   "As the 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation', as the party that is not favored on the surface, the more participants, the better for us."

Glancing at the bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" who had already appeared at the entrance, Zhao Guoyang said with a smile: "If you want to pay attention to this kind of thing, those ambitious giants are more concerned than us. too much."

   Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were stunned for a moment, and then looked at what Zhao Guoyang was looking at.

When these two bosses saw Thomas, the vice president of the Volkswagen Group and the manager of the market development department, Yang Sen, the director of the technology development department, and Jeffreys, the chairman of Volkswagen Latin America, who were "frowning" over there, they showed a little understanding. look.

  Because "Songqi Group" and "FAW Group" have a cooperative relationship with "Volkswagen Group", Thomas, Yang Sen, Mao and Wu all know each other.

  Because Mao Zhichun had been to Samba country before, he was also familiar with Jeffries.

  After seeing these people from the "Popular Group" coming, Mao Zhichun said to Zhao Guoyang in a low voice: "Brother Guoyang, the "Popular Group" here has put on a posture that is determined to win."

   "These days, when I was receiving the group of "Volkswagen Latin America", I heard them mention Jeffries by chance. It seems that their chairman will soon be promoted. I don't know whether it is true or not..."

  After Mao Zhichun finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang responded calmly: "The boss of the overseas branch, since he has participated in such a big event as the merger, he probably can't make a mistake."

   After the people from the "Volkswagen Group" arrived, they were naturally taken to the pre-arranged positions by the staff of the organizer "Skoda Automobile Company".

  Thomas, Yang Sen, and Jeffries all noticed the people on the Huaxia delegation.

  After seeing Zhao Guoyang, the three bosses all showed him a friendly smile and waved to him at the same time.

  Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang stood up politely, and nodded to the three bosses from a distance.

  The representatives of the "Public Group" received so much attention from the audience. The three of Thomas and Zhao Guoyang were familiar with each other, so they were naturally noticed by everyone.

  When Zheng Xianyong, the chairman of Hyundai Group, saw this, his eyes froze, and his brows were locked into the word "Chuan".

"Father, who is that Huaxia guy? He seems to be quite awesome, even people from the 'popular' people know him? Could it be that this guy, like that guy Mo Xiaotian, is also a guy who eats the inside out?" Zheng Zhilong was a little annoyed. Said.

  After hearing this, Zheng Xianyong couldn't help casting a "serious" look at his youngest son: "What nonsense are you talking about! Do your own thing well, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

   After reprimanding his son, Zheng Xianyong's heart was actually far less calm than he appeared to be.

   Everyone knows the strength of the "Volkswagen Group" in the industry.

  Even the "leader" of Bangziguo's auto industry, which has always had a "high self-esteem", the "Hyundai Group" knows that it cannot be compared with others.

   Now the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" greeted and exchanged greetings "blatantly" with a young man from Huaxia. What does this mean?

  In Zheng Xianyong's view, nine out of ten this is what the "Volkswagen Group" means to further develop the huge "Huaxia" auto market.

   This young man is obviously a key part of the cooperation between the two.

   This made Zheng Xianyong have to pay attention.

In fact, after the "ice-breaking" relationship between South Korea and China in the past two years, Zheng Xianyong and his "Modern Group" have reached an internal consensus that they must take advantage of their geographical advantages to seize the huge market of "invasion". the first move.

  As a neighboring country of China, South Koreans have complicated feelings about this "behemoth".

On the one hand, they will have low self-esteem in the face of this powerful neighboring country that surpassed them in the past; pride.

   But in any case, there is no doubt that China is the market with the greatest potential in the world.

  As the most important industrial enterprise in South Korea, many industries of Hyundai Group, such as construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, steel, machinery, trade, and transportation, have a very broad market in China.

  Especially in the automotive industry, Hyundai Group has positioned "China" as the world's number one strategic market early on.

  Under such circumstances, Zheng Xianyong naturally attaches great importance to the close relationship between the "Popular Group" and Huaxia.

   His eyes wandered around Zhao Guoyang for a few times, and then Mr. Zheng gradually calmed down.

   "This young man needs to pay more attention!" This is Zheng Xianyong's true thoughts at this time.

   Just as the arrival of several important figures from the "Volkswagen Group" caused a commotion in the meeting room, several blond Europeans in suits and leather shoes came in front of the door.

   The first person is over 1.85 meters tall, thin, and probably in his early forties.

   This one is wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, walking like flying, full of momentum.

   After this group of people came in, the staff of the "Skoda Automobile Company" ran over to greet them just like the people who had just greeted the "Volkswagen".

  Noticing how respectful these staff members were to the middle-aged man, Chairman Mao beside Zhao Guoyang showed suspicion.

   "Uh, brother Guoyang, which company do these people belong to? It seems that the status in the eyes of 'Skoda' is not inferior to that of 'Volkswagen Group'!"

   "Yes, the middle-aged people here seem to be known to many people, and they are all talking about it!" Wu Jianlong also echoed.

  By the time the two chairmen were expressing their opinions, Zhao Guoyang had roughly guessed the identities of these people.

   Needless to say, it must be someone from "Daimler AG" who can faintly suppress the "Volkswagen Group" in terms of "impulse".

  As for the middle-aged man in the middle, Zhao Guoyang had also seen some introductions in a magazine before-Thomas Lane, the president of "Daimler AG".

  Zhao Guoyang's memory is naturally correct. When the middle-aged man was led to the area where his company was located by the staff, the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" had already stood up to greet him.

   "Hi, Mr. Lane! See you again!" It was Thomas who spoke.

   "Uh, so it's Mr. Thomas." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Yang Sen who was beside him.

   "Mr. Yang Sen is also here, what a pleasure to meet you!"

  Yang Sen has a background in technology, and language is not his strong point.

  After greeting the President Ryan, he stood silently aside, listening to Thomas talking to the other party.

   "Mr. Ryan, you must be fully confident that you will be in charge of Daimler today? Please be merciful later!" Thomas said cheerfully.

"Mr. Thomas is too modest. We, Daimler, have a lot to learn from your Volkswagen Group in terms of small and medium models. This time, if we can successfully bid for the shares of Skoda Auto, we will It must be to organize people to go to your company to learn and ask for advice..."

  Ryan's words, although polite, but the strong self-confidence in them makes people feel a little breathless.

  Thomas is only the vice president of the "Volkswagen Group" after all. Facing the toughness of the "Daimler AG" boss, his momentum is still a lot worse.

After Ryan made his statement, he could only smile and said: "Hehe, Mr. Ryan, our 'Volkswagen Group' is also very fond of some of the manufacturing processes and technologies of 'Skoda'. So, we can only see you on hand." It's true..."

   "Okay, let's wait and see!" Ryan responded, and then passed by the "Volkswagen Group" and sat in his seat.

  Ryan and Thomas represent the two giants of "Daimler" and "Volkswagen" respectively. The dialogue between the two of them naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

  After Zhao Guoyang translated the conversation between the two to Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the faces of the two chairmen were a little ugly.

  Obviously, Ryan's tough attitude towards taking the shares of "Skoda" made the two big bosses feel a little palpitated.

   On the other side, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi, and Li Ru, the three leaders of the delegation, also felt some inexplicable tension about this.

  Looking at the fear on the faces of the big bosses on his side, although Zhao Guoyang was a little relieved, he couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being, so he could only maintain a wait-and-see attitude first.

   After the people from the two giants "Volkswagen" and "Daimler" arrived, the participants from the rest of the car companies also entered the venue.

  The "Ford Group" of the United States, the "Logo Company" of France, the "Fiat Automobile United Company" of the Apennines and other giant ghostwriters appeared one by one.

   At 9:30, the representative of the last company also entered the conference room.

   Needless to say, it is naturally Zhao Guoyang's partner Jin Xiuzhu, and her "Daewoo Group".

  Because she had communicated with Zhao Guoyang before, Jin Xiuzhu did not have any hope for this "merger and acquisition".

  Combined with the unique personality of South Koreans, it is not difficult to understand when they come to the meeting site with a little bit of pressure.
