King of Industry

  Chapter 691 An important task

  In the "Mingyue Pavilion" of the Beijing Hotel, Zhao Guoyang's narration shocked Qin Yang into a heavenly man.

  Originally, Director Qin just thought that this researcher Zhao might have profound attainments in the shipbuilding industry.

  Who knew, this guy is so proficient in steel smelting.

  Now he finally understands why the dignified boss of Shagang Group flew over without hesitation after Zhao Guoyang made a phone call.

  No one else knew what Qin Yang was thinking.

   While he was sighing endlessly, Shen Zhirong spoke excitedly.

   "Brother Guoyang, in the field of ship and marine steel, Shagang Group is the only one to follow. As long as you can guide us to develop these types of special steel, even if you give you 5% of the shares, it will be fine!"

  After Shen Zhirong said this number, even Li Kejian, who has always been calm, was a little unbelievable.

  You must know that the current annual output value of Shagang Group has already exceeded 500 million, and its total assets are more than 1 billion.

   To say the least, the 5% of the shares cost at least 40 to 50 million. Even after 20 years, this is still a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

   But looking at the attitudes of Hu Jun, Chen Guolin and others around Shen Zhirong, they didn't have any objection to this, as if they knew the situation early in the morning.

  Obviously, Shagang Group has already communicated about this matter, and everyone has reached a consensus.

   Just when everyone thought Zhao Guoyang would agree, he said something else.

   "Chairman Shen, first of all thank you very much for your trust in me. Trust is the foundation of cooperation between the two parties. With this foundation, the success of the matter is half..."

   "However, what I want to say is that I don't want to take any advantage from you or Shagang Group for the project we will cooperate with in the future..."

  Hearing this, Shen Zhirong said "Oh" in surprise: "What do you mean, Brother Guoyang?"

   "It's easy, cooperate!"

  Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Chairman Shen, you should also know that the two companies in my hands, 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company' and 'SMS Company', will have a great demand for all kinds of special steel in the future."

   "It's not just steel for ships and marine industries. It includes steel for special vehicles, construction machinery, and even aerospace steel. My two companies may be involved."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Guoyang's face, and he waved his hand and said: "So, I think so. On my side, can you cooperate with Chairman Shen and you, Shagang Group, to establish a technical research center for special steel products?" The office is responsible for the research and development of various special steel products."

   "Special Steel Product Technology Research Office?"

  Hearing this name, Shen Zhirong's eyes lit up.

  Barely thinking about it, this person slapped his thigh and said: "No problem, established, this laboratory must be established!"

   Zhao Guoyang can probably guess Shen Zhirong's attitude.

  Seeing that the boss agreed, he grinned and said, "In addition, regarding the proportion of the laboratory, I think we will each have half."

   "Of course, the new technologies researched are limited to Mr. Shen and you for production. But if there are any that are not suitable for Shagang Group's production, I will sell them to the outside world, and the income will be divided into 50-50!"

   "No problem! It's settled!" Shen Zhirong said happily.

Zhao Guoyang estimated that this person would definitely agree, so he nodded and said: "Chairman Shen, my initial idea for this research laboratory is that we both invest. However, my funds may be a little tight for the time being, and it may have to wait until I After returning from a two-month business trip, the project can be officially launched..."

   "Hey, brother Guoyang, you're out of touch now!"

  Shen Zhirong waved his hand and said, "Since the two of us are determined to cooperate for a long time, the initial capital investment is too insignificant."

   "To be honest, brother Guoyang, your technology investment alone is worth at least 100 million yuan! So, don't worry about the initial investment of this research laboratory, it will all come from our Shagang Group!"

  Shen Zhirong's statement made the two leaders present, Li Kejian and Qin Yang, secretly nod.

  Indeed, Shen Zhirong is able to lead the "little-known" Shagang Group to this point, and his personal courage and vision are indeed outstanding.

  After listening to the conversation between Zhao Guoyang and Shen Zhirong, Li Kejian couldn't help but jokingly said, "The technology of special steel products is also very important to the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry."

   "Guoyang is also a special researcher of our "Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry". Therefore, in terms of policies and support funds, our ministry will definitely express it! I can guarantee this!"

   Li Kejian's remarks were undoubtedly to support Zhao Guoyang.

  After all, if he and Shen Zhirong co-founded this research laboratory without any money invested, Mr. Shen might not say anything, but he would still feel a little bit unhappy.

  But now that I am so supportive, the situation is completely different.

   Sure enough, after Li Kejian finished speaking, Shen Zhirong and several Shagang Group cadres around him were all surprised and surprised.

   You must know that Shagang Group is a private enterprise, and has been rarely benefited from government support.

  However, with the banner of Zhao Guoyang, the company will definitely receive attention in this regard in the future.

   This is an advantage that cannot be exchanged for millions, or even tens of millions.

   Everyone eats a meal and breaks up happily.

  After learning that Zhao Guoyang was leaving the day after tomorrow to lead the team to North America, Shen Zhirong, Hu Jun and others were speechless for a while.

  Although they are very convinced of Zhao Guoyang's ability, being capable is one thing.

  As the head of the delegation, he took cadres from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Management Bureau of Inherent Assets, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, and several large and small state-owned enterprises to go abroad for inspections. This is another matter.

   Obviously, in the eyes of the leaders, Zhao Guoyang's ability has gradually exceeded the age limit, and the future is really limitless.

  After waving goodbye to the people from Shagang Group, Zhao Guoyang got into Mr. Li's car.

  He will be staying at the hotel of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry tonight, which was arranged by Mr. Li early in the morning.

After getting in the car, Mr. Li said to Xia Yunfei, the life secretary sitting in the co-pilot: "Yunfei, after you send me back later, you can accompany Guoyang to Wangfujing and buy some for him. How much money do you need for your outfit, come back and ask me for reimbursement!"

   "This person relies on clothes, the Buddha relies on gold clothes, and he will be on a business trip the day after tomorrow. Without a few decent clothes, he can't do it!"

  Xia Yunfei immediately nodded in response when he heard the words.

   Zhao Guoyang scratched his head and said, "Mr. Li, I have all my clothes, and they are in the suitcase."

   "If you have one, you have to buy two!"

  Li Kejian waved his hands unquestionably, "This time you go out, your identity is different from before. Leader, you have to look like a leader!"

   Zhao Guoyang couldn't say much about Mr. Li's love, so he had no choice but to agree.

  Seeing that Zhao Guoyang agreed without any pretense, Li Kejian smiled a little more on his face.

  For Zhao Guoyang, a young man, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

   "By the way, Guoyang, tomorrow, you can come to the ministry. Don't be too early, ninety o'clock is fine!"

  Zhao Guoyang let out an "uh" and looked at Li Kejian beside him without knowing why, as if asking why.

  Old Li said amusedly and angrily: "Where is your technical intelligence, kid? Do you need me to explain it to you?"

  Xia Yunfei, who was sitting upright on the front co-pilot, kept his eyes on the front, but he listened carefully to what the leader said.

  After Mr. Li teased Zhao Guoyang, he quickly helped to explain: "Researcher Zhao, tomorrow morning, Mr. Li arranged for you to meet with the members of the delegation. Let's get acquainted first."

  Zhao Guoyang finally realized something when he heard the words.

  He quickly thanked Secretary Xia for a few words, then turned to Li Kejian and said, "Mr. Li, do you have anything to tell us about our North American delegation?"

  Li Kejian glanced at Zhao Guoyang appreciatively, nodded with a smile and said: "There are really a few things, I want to remind you!"

  Zhao Guoyang nodded vigorously, sat up straight, and prepared to listen to Mr. Li's teachings.

Li Kejian was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened his voice: "This time, the inspection team jointly conducted by the Ministry, the Bureau of Improper Assets, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade will not only investigate the North American all-terrain vehicle market, but also several large-scale all-terrain vehicle manufacturers. In addition, there is another important task..."

   Zhao Guoyang was not surprised at what Mr. Li said. He just nodded calmly, as if everything was in his mind.

  Li Kejian has been paying attention to Zhao Guoyang's expression, and seeing that he has no mood swings, he can't help but secretly praise him.

  "Speaking of this important task, we have to mention a world-leading technology in North America—the aerospace industry!"

  Once Li Lao said this, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood.

   Indeed, the two major industries in North America are stronger than others. Both the United States and Canada rank among the world's seven largest industrial powers.

  Many people may only know that the industrial level of the United States is among the top three in the world, but they don’t know that Canada is also a world leader in many fields.

  For example, the aerospace industry is Canada's traditional advantageous industry.

  It has its own unique advantages in earth observation, space robotics, space technology and detection, and satellite communication.

  In 1969, Canada was invited by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to participate in the space shuttle program.

  The reason is very simple. Canada’s Dema Ayton Company has manufactured a robot that can inject fuel into the CANDU nuclear reactor.

  This robot is so advanced in technology and exquisite in design that even "NASA" can't help but be amazed.

  With the continuous improvement of the world's scientific and technological level, countries' demand for space exploration is also increasing.

   Although Huaxia started late in this regard, it has great determination.

  However, since the relationship between China and the United States has always been relatively cold, it is quite difficult to obtain any information from the United States.

   In desperation, the bosses could only save the country with curves, and turned their attention to Canada, another aerospace industry powerhouse.
