King of Industry

  Chapter 889 Bai Rou's thoughts

  SJ City Hongqiao Airport, Zhao Guoyang, who just got off the plane, sat in the warm "Rolls Royce" and couldn't help yawning.

   These days, the days of participating in the exhibition in Tokyo are really difficult. I am pestered by the bosses of several heavy industry giants to eat and drink together every day. I really have no time to relax.

   No way, who asked Zhao Guoyang to come up with a patent on the "variable position counterweight system" on the first day.

  His patent for "variable position counterweight system" is not the same as that of Manitowoc's 333 crane. It is an invention system patent and is applicable to all products of the same type.

   That is to say, as long as you purchase the patent developed by Zhao Guoyang, customers can freely add it to their own products.

   In this way, people who want to win this patent will naturally flock to Zhao Guoyang like madmen.

  People including Liebherr, Terex, and even "Hyundai Heavy Industries" cast an olive branch to Zhao Guoyang and asked him whether this patent could be transferred as a whole.

  Faced with the siege of so many people, the key opponents are at least the high-level executives of their respective groups. Zhao Guoyang can only deal with it himself, and cannot pretend to be others.

  In the end, there was really no other way, he could only bring Zhao Siyan, the deputy general manager, over to fill in the bill, and accompany the bosses and vice presidents of these construction machinery giants to eat and chat together.

   The final result is of course good. Zhao Guoyang's right to use this patent has been sold to more than a dozen construction machinery companies.

  Just the transfer fee for the right to use the patent is worth millions of dollars.

  The price Zhao Guoyang paid for his position was that he didn't have a good rest during these few days in the island country.

   Mu Yiyi, who was sitting next to Zhao Guoyang, saw him yawning again and again, and reminded him with distress: "Mr. Zhao, why don't you come to the Christmas party tonight?"

   "These days, you and Sister Siyan are too tired, you really need to take a good rest..."

  After listening to Mu Yiyi's words, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help looking at the listless Zhao Siyan on the other side.

   Isn’t that right, this manager Siyan is also yawning and feeling weak right now.

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Guoyang laughed dumbfoundedly and said: "Okay, Yiyi. Manager Siyan and I can rest for half a day in the afternoon. It's rare that the employees of the three companies gather together for activities at night. If I, the chairman, don't attend, then What to say?"

   "Even if it's Manager Siyan, she must attend!"

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, Mu Yiyi nodded with some self-blame.

  Indeed, whether it is Zhao Guoyang or Zhao Siyan, they are the core figures of the three companies.

  It would be a shame if the two of them didn't attend this Christmas party tonight.

  After thinking about this, Mu Yiyi drooped her head and stopped making a sound.

Zhao Siyan at the side listened to the conversation between Zhao Guoyang and Mu Yiyi, and gently pulled Mu Yiyi's hand through Zhao Guoyang and said, "Yiyi, don't worry. After you bring me, Liu Yan, and Wanru back to the 'SMS Company', Just go to rest directly. By night, we must have recharged our batteries!"

   "Mr. Zhao, after he returns to 'Xingtai International' with you, you also urge him to let him rest for an afternoon and he'll be fine!"

  When Mu Yiyi heard the words, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.

  …

  In the "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" Hotel in Pudong New Area, Zhao Guoyang woke up and stretched comfortably, feeling refreshed.

  After returning from Tokyo, Mu Yiyi forced him into the room to let him have a good rest.

  Her move made Zhao Guoyang's plan to go to the company for a while, and his plan fell through.

   But after a good night's sleep, it feels really good.

   After Zhao Guoyang got up and took a shower, he saw that the time was almost up, and went out in a calm manner.

  Today is 1994, December 25th, a traditional Western Christmas, and it is also a good day for the annual gathering of the three companies under Zhao Guoyang.

  Because of his previous life experience, Zhao Guoyang knows how receptive Chinese people are to foreigners' festivals.

  Just say "Valentine's Day" and "Christmas", and soon there will be a whirlwind in the country.

  Later, even festivals like "Halloween" became very popular in China.

   Of course, there is nothing wrong with the diversity of people's cultural and lifestyles.

  The most important thing is that with the high speed of China's economic development, the celebration of these festivals also imperceptibly drives the development of commerce, which is what Zhao Guoyang values ​​most.

   Today's first Christmas party, Zhao Guoyang just wanted to warm up for the promotional activities of the three companies under him in the future.

  Since the Christmas party was held in the lobby on the first floor of the "Xingtai International" Hotel, Zhao Guoyang naturally had no trouble in the past.

  When he took the elevator from the top floor of the hotel to the first floor, almost all the people from the three companies had arrived.

  As soon as Mr. Zhao arrived, everyone raised their arms and cheered.

  Surrounded by the three executives, Bai Rou, Zhang Yufang, and Zhao Siyan, Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved to greet everyone, walked to the guest-of-honor table and sat down.

   Li Zhaohe was definitely going to attend today's get-together.

  But this Manager Li is busy with a business trip to get the parts that are still missing for the yacht project, so he can only regret to be absent today.

   As a result, Zhao Guoyang was surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan at the guest table.

In addition to Bai Rou and the three of them, the other people at this table are Mu Yiyi, the assistant to the president of "Xingtai International", Wang Zecheng, the marketing operation manager of "Xingtai International", Xie Yiman, the supply management manager, and the international marketing manager. Department manager Yan Dandan.

   And because Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman are a couple, naturally no other women would strike up a conversation with him.

  For a while, Zhao Guoyang became the focus of this table.

   Just chatted with Yan Dandan for a few words, and asked her about the market development in Europe, Zhao Guoyang was interrupted by Bai Rou.

   It's been a long time since I saw Zhao Guoyang and this Sister Bai.

  During this time, Bai Rou was not in SJ because she was busy with the Asia International Jewelry Fair on the other side of the Xiangjiang River.

   This time, they managed to meet on Christmas Day, but in such a noisy environment, Bai Rou was obviously quite helpless with this result.

  However, helplessness is helplessness, and some words still need to be explained clearly.

  Watching Zhao Guoyang turn his head, Bai Rou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you are really busy these days, so busy that you don't even have time to see me!"

   Hearing this sister Bai's teasing words, Zhao Guoyang scratched his head in embarrassment.

   If you want to say busy, he is indeed busy during this time.

   But before going to Tokyo, he stayed in China for a while.

   It was only because Bai Rou was busy that the two missed each other several times.

   Now that she put all the responsibility on herself, Zhao Guoyang felt a little innocent.

  Of course, he knows that women are difficult to deal with, so of course he won't argue with Bai Rou about this matter.

  He just shrugged helplessly and showed a wry smile.

   Seeing Zhao Guoyang softening his clothes, the smile on Bai Rou's face became even brighter.

  She pursed her lips, giggled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have such a matter, and I want to report it to you!"

  Zhao Guoyang let out a "huh", waved his hands and said, "Sister Bai, just talk about it. We are not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a relationship of partners. Don't be too restrained!"

  Hearing this, Bai Rou couldn't help but give Zhao Guoyang a blank look, and said in her heart: This Guoyang doesn't know how to take other people's feelings into consideration when he speaks. If you praise yourself in front of so many people, others will definitely feel uncomfortable!

  However, Bai Rou's worries seemed unnecessary.

  Everyone heard what Zhao Guoyang said, but no one said anything more.

  Everyone just listened intently to the conversation between themselves and Zhao Guoyang, no one interrupted.

   Seeing this situation, Bai Rou showed a trace of gratitude on her face.

  She collected her thoughts, coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, what I want to report is about our 'Rongguang Co., Ltd.'. Do we need to make great efforts to open up the Eastern European market!"

After a pause, Bai Rou went on to report: "Why do you have such an idea? It's because at the Xiangjiang Jewelry Fair not long ago, I found several groups of dealers from Eastern Europe who were looking around for the first-line jewelry brands. thing."

   "Quasi first-line jewelry brand?"

  After hearing Bai Rou's words, Zhang Yufang, who was sitting on the other side of Zhao Guoyang, couldn't help but blurt out a question.

Bai Rou and Mr. Zhang are also very familiar with each other. After hearing her question, she explained with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Zhang. I found many dealers from Eastern European countries at the Xiangjiang Jewelry Fair. You want to buy jewelry from quasi-first-line brands in large quantities.”

   "From their tone, it seems that now that the situation in Eastern Europe has gradually stabilized, this quasi-first-line brand is very popular in the market..."

  Bai Rou said this, and Zhao Guoyang had roughly guessed the reason.

  After experiencing a series of changes in the past two years, Eastern European countries have divided and united, and now the political system transformation of each country has almost been completed.

  After learning from the pain, the first thing these countries will do after the situation stabilizes is naturally to vigorously develop the economy.

  Eastern Europe has relatively developed industry and agriculture because of its technological advantages.

   But their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, their lack of business is much worse than that of Western European countries.

   Especially in terms of luxury goods, Eastern Europe does not even have a world-renowned brand, and can only import from other countries.

  However, the turmoil in the past two years has greatly reduced the economic vitality and people's purchasing power of Eastern European countries.

  The prices of luxury brands in Western Europe and North America have always remained high.

  In this case, quasi-first-class brand jewelry will naturally be welcomed by people in Eastern Europe.
