King of Industry

  Chapter 815 Why not take the initiative?

  Since he was busy in South Korea during the Spring Festival last year, Zhao Guoyang felt as if he had fallen into a strange circle.

   No, on the morning of the first day of the new year, not long after he got up to congratulate his parents, younger siblings and younger siblings on the New Year, his big brother rang.

  The younger sister Zhao Xiaojing, who was eating jujube dumpling soup, heard the voice, kicked Zhao Xiaoyong next to her and said, "Stupid, go and help me get the 'big brother'!"

  Although Zhao Xiaoyong was very reluctant, but after his sister went to college, she seemed to have become more and more imposing, which made him not dare to talk back now.

  Zhao Guoyang didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister teaching his brother a lesson.

  Zhao Xiaoyong has just entered his freshman year of high school, and his outlook on life is just taking shape. At this time, Zhao Xiaojing gives him lessons and reminds him from time to time, which is a good thing.

  When Zhao Xiaoyong entered the room to get the big brother, Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help asking Zhao Guoyang in a low voice: "Brother, how are you and Sister Yiyi going?"

  Seeing his sister's sneaky look, Zhao Guoyang was speechless for a while: "Xiaojing, why are you nagging like your mother, children, please don't ask these things..."

  After listening to the elder brother's lesson, Zhao Xiaojing didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Peeking at the parents outside the main room who were discussing where to go for New Year's greetings, Zhao Xiaojing leaned into Zhao Guoyang's ear and said, "Brother, you don't know. When you were in SJ City a few days ago, my mother paid for your visit. I’ve been worrying about lifelong events for a long time.”

   "I didn't do anything during the winter vacation. I followed her to help you on a blind date..."

   "What, isn't it?" After hearing the "small report" from his sister, Zhao Guoyang was stunned.

   "It's true, brother!" Zhao Xiaojing thought that Zhao Guoyang didn't believe it, so she quickly explained.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded helplessly, then let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.

  Seeing the expression of the omnipotent brother, Zhao Xiaojing smiled a little more.

  She pursed her lips and snickered, "Brother, you don't know how popular you are."

   "Some time ago, my mother and I were pestered by matchmakers almost every day. I want to introduce you to someone. Every matchmaker introduces a particularly high-quality girl!"

  After listening to his sister's teasing words, Zhao Guoyang snorted through his nose, and said, "What is high quality and not high quality? This is a very good person, why are you still divided into three, six, or nine grades..."

  Zhao Xiaojing giggled when she heard the words: "Brother, I know you don't care about these things, you only care about the feeling, but the matchmaker doesn't think so!"

   "It's like the Rolls-Royce you drove back this time. If you put it there, even if you don't have the vision, you will know that I will introduce you to the girl with the best qualifications!"

Zhao Guoyang's Rolls-Royce was quite low-key when it came back, but at the 30th night, when the monkey guy came to talk to Zhao Guoyang, he casually talked to Zhao Xiaoyong and Zhao Xiaojing about the rarity of the car. degree.

   This time, how could Zhao Xiaoyong, a showy guy, keep a low profile, and spread the news that his brother's car was worth several million in minutes.

  At this time, Zhao Xiaojing took this thing as an example, and Zhao Guoyang felt a little helpless.

   Seeing her brother's embarrassment, Zhao Xiaojing also knew that it was not appropriate to say more at this time, so she pursed her lips and continued to deal with her glutinous rice balls.

   While the two were talking, Zhao Xiaoyong had already brought the eldest brother over.

   "Brother, I don't know who called you from the capital and asked you to answer the phone. I asked what was the matter, but they didn't say anything..."

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm" and signaled Zhao Xiaoyong to take the big brother to himself.

   "Hi, hello, where is it?" Zhao Guoyang, who answered the phone, cleared his throat and asked.

   "Guoyang, it's me, Li Kejian!" On the other end of the phone, Mr. Li's voice was obviously a little hurried.

Zhao Guoyang, who didn't know why, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Ah, Mr. Li, hello, hello, happy new year! You said that I should call you for the New Year's greeting call, but why did you... "

   Zhao Guoyang was talking awkwardly and didn't know what to say, so Li Kejian stopped him.

   "Guoyang, I'm not talking to you on this call, it's because the country has an important task to arrange!"

  After listening to Li Lao's solemn words, Zhao Guoyang felt a little surprised.

  Barely calmed down, Zhao Guoyang asked, "Mr. Li, what's going on? Don't tell me you're not at home for the Spring Festival, are you still at work?"

   "That's right, you're right, I'm in the office of Leader Huo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right now..." Li Kejian responded firmly.

   "Huh?" Zhao Guoyang became even more confused when he heard this.

   If Mr. Li is with Fang Xuesen's leader at the moment, he doesn't think it's strange.

  But why is he in the office led by Huo Zhenlin?

  This is really confusing!

   While Zhao Guoyang was thinking wildly, Li Kejian had already told the whole story.

   "Guoyang, it's like this. Just last night, that is, at eleven o'clock in the evening on the eve of the New Year's Eve, a serious landslide accident occurred in a copper mine of Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Mining Group Company in Zambia."

   "As far as we have learned from the local embassy, ​​there are 78 miners working underground. These miners are trapped at a depth of 800 meters underground and urgently need help..."

   "After the accident, Zambia has sent a request to the United Nations for help, and more than ten countries have expressed their position immediately and will send a rescue team!"

   "Now our Huaxia side has confirmed that we will send a rescue team tomorrow and set off for Zambia. The composition of the rescue team will be drawn up by Leader Huo and myself..."

   Li Kejian's words made Zhao Guoyang gasp.

  As far as mining development is concerned, the most worrying thing is the occurrence of mining accidents.

  Many times, a sudden mining disaster may kill dozens or even hundreds of people.

   And after these miners are killed, their entire families will be torn apart, causing serious losses.

   Now I heard that Zambia, an African country that has always been friendly with China, suddenly had such a serious accident.

  The most important thing is that the owner of this mine is the largest mining state-owned enterprise in China—Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Mining Group Corporation. This matter is even more serious.

   While Zhao Guoyang was silent, Li Kejian had already stated the "purpose" of his call.

   "Guoyang, the country has decided to send a rescue team, and now Leader Huo and I are planning the companies that will participate in the rescue and the personnel to send out."

   "The series of products of your 'SMS Construction Machinery Group' are already well-known in China. I reported them immediately, and got approval from Leader Huo!"

   "As for you personally, because of your proficiency in construction machinery manufacturing, mine development, etc., you are also the first candidate I applied for..."

  Old Li's narration did not surprise Zhao Guoyang at all.

  During the past year, under his leadership, "SMS Company" has successfully developed two or three other leading products in construction machinery.

  Now, the manufacturing level of "SMS Company" in mine hoists, small excavators, medium-sized and heavy-duty cranes has been widely recognized in China.

  The market share of several leading products is far ahead of similar products of domestic construction machinery enterprises.

   Stabilized the two time-honored brands "Wuyi Heavy Industry" and "Pengcheng Engineering Company" with the highest market value in China.

   It is no exaggeration to say that if the country really wants to send a rescue team to Zambia, I and "SMS Company" will definitely be invited.

  Since it is definitely going to be "named", why don't you take the initiative?

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Mr. Li, I understand. Don't worry, I will make preparations right away, and try to rush to SJ City to take the earliest flight at noon."

   "It is estimated that I will be able to reach the capital tomorrow morning at the latest. It should be no problem to catch up with the departure time of the rescue team..."

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's statement, Li Kejian was naturally extremely satisfied.

   "Very good, Guoyang, I did not misread you!"

  Li Kejian said a little happily: "However, you don't have to rush to SJ City. I have already greeted Youbang... and you, now go directly to Jinling City."

"The East China Military Region has already made arrangements. After you pass by, a military plane will take you directly to the capital. This will not only save you the time of traveling long distances, but also allow you to have more energy. To think about the question of how to carry out the rescue..."

  After listening to Li Kejian's words, Zhao Guoyang quickly said gratefully: "This is of course the best! Then, Mr. Li, I won't talk to you any more. Let's pack our bags and get ready to go!"

"well!"

  Li Kejian said "yes" twice, and then apologized a little bit sadly: "Guoyang, it's my fault that you will not be able to live safely during the New Year's Eve!"

   "Old Li, please don't say that! As long as the country needs it, I am always on standby!"

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's heartfelt narration, Li Kejian let out a relieved "Yeah" and said, "Success, then I won't be polite to you. After you come to the capital, Yunfei will pick you up to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." .”

   "Leader Huo and I are waiting for you right here!"

  After Li Kejian finished speaking, he gave Zhao Guoyang a few more words, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.

   After putting down the phone with a long sigh, Zhao Guoyang noticed that his younger brother and sister were looking at him eagerly, looking "unexpectedly speechless".

   "Uh... what are you two looking at?" Zhao Guoyang asked in surprise.

   "Brother, I just heard you say that you are going to travel soon? Is it a business trip?" Zhao Xiaojing asked with wide eyes.

  Zhao Guoyang nodded indifferently, and said, "That's right, the situation is urgent, and I'm leaving right away."

   "But... today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!" Zhao Xiaojing said with a slightly frustrated expression.
