Chapter 540: The Deep Meaning of the Name

Prague, the capital of Czech Snowvac, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

One of its most famous attractions is the Old Town Square.

Passing by by car, the statue of Jan Hus in the center of the old city square, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but secretly admire it.

On the other side of the square, there is a very distinctive ancient building - the self-striking bell.

Self-striking bell, built in the 16th century. The bell consists of three parts, namely: the statue of the saint, the clock plate, and the almanac.

Every time it is punctual time, the imp symbolizes the passing of time and rings the bell first, while the Turks keep shaking their heads, symbolizing their unwillingness to surrender.

On the right side of the clock, there are two statues of people who symbolize wasting time, constantly shaking their heads, symbolizing that they have not enjoyed all the wealth in the world and do not want to leave the world.

Looking at the characteristic buildings of this exotic country and tasting the culture in it, Zhao Guoyang's mood couldn't help but relax.

The share transfer negotiations with "Skoda Automotive", which he had been worried about, gradually stopped bothering him.

Different from Zhao Guoyang's relaxed mood, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, who were sitting on both sides, had solemn faces and looked preoccupied.

At today's meeting at the "Skoda Comprehensive Business Building", Zhao Guoyang was in the same car with Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong.

Since these two bigwigs got in the car, they have been a little worried, and they seem to have some concerns.

Just when Zhao Guoyang was enjoying the beautiful scenery around him, Mao Zhichun suddenly said: "Guoyang, today's meeting with the chairman of 'Skoda', do you think it is a good deal?"

was interrupted by Chairman Mao's words, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said: "Chairman Mao, it can't be said that it is not a success, 'Skoda' needs money, and we all know this." ”

"As long as we recognize this principle, our chances will not be too small. ”

Zhao Guoyang paused slightly, and continued to speak: "Of course, I don't mean that we want to fight a price war with 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler', that would be too cost-effective......

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were both a little puzzled.

Wu Jianlong couldn't help but speak: "Guoyang, if our bid is not as good as 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler', then why should 'Skoda' choose our 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company'?"

"In the final analysis, our company has just been named, and it is still a grass platform. The people of 'Skoda', if you visit and find out carefully, you can make an oolong if you can't keep it!"

Listening to Chairman Wu's worries, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Chairman Wu, you are too worried about this." ”

"Actually, I already told you about the cooperation with 'Skoda Automobile' last night. Among them, our official Huaxia and Czech Slovak officials will play a very important role. ”

"Let's not say anything else, let's just say that the name of our 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company' is here, and the people of 'Skoda' have to weigh it up, right?"

Zhao Guoyang's words are very reasonable, although the "Huaxia Automobile Group Company" has only just been established, the personnel in all aspects have not yet been in place.

But its name already contains a deep meaning.

Discerning people can see at a glance that this company is not simply a commercial nature, but has an official background in it.

As one of the former members of the Warsaw Pact, Czech Slovak has not relaxed its supervision of state-owned enterprises even after the institutional change.

Obviously, the good relations between China and Czech Snovac are undoubtedly a powerful booster for this negotiation.

Zhao Guoyang's remarks made Wu Jianlong very satisfied.

He nodded emphatically and said, "Guoyang, I understand what you mean." The main purpose of our negotiation this time is to show our strengths and leave a good impression on the people of Skoda, right?"

Zhao Guoyang sighed, nodded and said, "That's right, that's basically it." After all, today's meeting will not be too long. ”

"I think the people of 'Skoda Automobile' are more to give Minister Krmenchik face, and to have a preliminary contact with us before receiving representatives of major car companies. ”

"Clearly, that Guoyang, how many things we can show to impress others depends on you!" Wu Jianlong glanced at Zhao Guoyang deeply and said.

Listening to this confidence in himself, it seemed that he was more than the bigwigs in the embassy, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Compared with Wu Jianlong, Mao Zhichun is more concerned about technical issues.

After Wu Jianlong finished asking, Mao Zhichun said: "Brother Guoyang, you can give me a quasi-letter." How sure are you that we're going to buy a stake in Skoda Auto this time?"

Zhao Guoyang didn't expect that Chairman Mao would ask such a straightforward question, and he was a little embarrassed at that time.

Indeed, from the depths of Zhao Guoyang's heart, this "acquisition" is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

To this end, he has also done a lot of work, whether it is to move Kim Xiuzhu's abandonment, or the upcoming meeting with the senior management of the "Volkswagen Group", Zhao Guoyang is working hard to prepare and plan.

But this kind of thing, in many cases, it doesn't necessarily mean that what you do will be effective.

Although Zhao Guoyang was quite confident in himself, he did not dare to say that he dared to guarantee that he would definitely be able to take down the shares of "Skoda Automobile Company".

Among them, there must still be a certain process of operation.

At this time, when Chairman Mao asked him like this, Zhao Guoyang was a little difficult to reply to the other party.

Looking at his slightly frowning appearance, Mao Zhichun also knew that what he said was a bit excessive, so he smiled wryly: "Brother Guoyang, that's what I said, if you really can't give an answer, don't say it!"

Mao Zhichun suddenly shrank back, but Zhao Guoyang didn't want to show his face.

He groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Chairman Mao, it is indeed very difficult to compete with automobile giants such as 'Volkswagen Group' and 'Daimler AG'. ”

"But in my opinion, with the support of the state and relevant departments, and the great help of the leaders of the embassy, we still have a lot of confidence to win the shares of this 'Skoda Automobile Company'. ”

Raising his head and glancing at Mao Zhichun, Zhao Guoyang opened his own voice and said: "I think there is about a fifty percent chance of winning in the end......"

Mao Zhichun didn't expect Zhao Guoyang to really give himself an estimate, and he was a little surprised at the time.

Wu Jianlong on the side was no better, his mouth opened wide, forming a big "O" word.

After a long while, Chairman Mao reacted.

He said "Ahh

"Originally, in my opinion, there are so many 'strong enemy ring feeding', and our 'Huaxia Automobile Group Company' is at most two or three percent sure......"

Regarding Chairman Mao's judgment, Zhao Guoyang just smiled and did not make any evaluation.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang's estimate is already very conservative.

In his opinion, if he and Kim so-joo cooperate better, and then make some substantial progress in the evening meeting with the senior management of the "Volkswagen Group", then this probability will continue to increase.

When talking to Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the car had already driven to the "Skoda Comprehensive Business Building".

At the service desk on the first floor of the building, after Meng Liangyu and Du Yitao revealed their identities, a senior executive of "Skoda Automobile Company" soon came over in person and led everyone to the elevator.

Sitting on the sightseeing elevator and enjoying the scenery outside the window, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but think of the building he was in Songjiang City.

With the gradual expansion of "Xingtai International", the building that Zhao Guoyang has taken back one after another to rent out two floors as office space.

In the next step, Zhao Guoyang felt that he might have to renovate the building, adding building facilities such as sightseeing elevators, which can improve employee recognition.

Taking the sightseeing elevator to the top floor, outside the high-rise office area of "Skoda Auto Company", Chairman Skoda Larsson had already received the news and led a group of executives to greet him.

After a friendly handshake between the two sides, Chairman Skoda Larsson led everyone to a multimedia conference room at the innermost level on this floor.

After the two sides were seated in two rows, Skoda Larsson smiled and said to the head of his own group, Du Yitao, "First of all, thank you to Head Du and Ambassador Meng for visiting our headquarters of Skoda Company. ”

"Our Czech Slovak and your country have always been good-neighborly and friendly brother countries, and we, 'Skoda Automobile', have always been interested in cooperating with your country's automobile companies. ”

"It's just very helpless, over the years, we have not been able to find a suitable opportunity for cooperation. We, Skoda Automobile, have never had the opportunity to help the development of your country's automotive industry. I have to say, this is a big pity......"

Listening to Skoda Larsson's eloquent conversation, Zhao Guoyang on the side silently made a basic judgment about this person in his heart.

There is no doubt that from the tone of this car car boss, there is a faint sense of condescension.

Although this feeling is not strong, there is no doubt that this Mr. Skoda Larsson is full of pride in his "Skoda".

Of course, this may also be compared with Huaxia's automobile industry, and the other party has such a sense of superiority.

If you meet with international car giants such as "Volkswagen Group" or "Daimler AG", the other party may not have such an attitude.

Skoda Larsson's opening remarks ended quickly.

Subsequently, Du Yitao, on behalf of Huaxia, also said a few polite words.

It is to the effect that we would like to express our gratitude to "Skoda Automobile" for their warm hospitality, to express our appreciation for the kindness of Mr. Skoda Larsson, etc......
