When Zhao Guoyang came to the automobile group, Zhong Bo, director of the comprehensive management department, was already downstairs to greet him.

As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang enter the building, Zhong Bo hurried up to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Researcher Zhao, please hurry, please hurry, the chairman and they are already waiting in the conference room." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, tilted his head and asked, "I said Director Zhong, did Chairman Mao invite other guests?"

"Ah, didn't Chairman Mao mention this to Researcher Zhao?"

Zhong Bo was surprised, and then explained: "Hehe, Researcher Zhao, this is the case. ”

"The cooperation between our Songqi Group and Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company has been completed, and when Chen Bin, the technical minister of our group, came back, Chairman Mao asked him to invite several guests of Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company to come to China as a guest ......"

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang suddenly realized.

He said "oh" and laughed: "Director Zhaozhong, you say so, there are not a few people from Volkswagen Latin America Automobile Company this time?"

"There weren't many of them, but there were three people at the top level, namely Manager Federis in charge of human resources, Manager Ayton in charge of product development, and Manager Derek in charge of sales and marketing......

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he was puzzled: "Well, Mr. Jeffries, chairman and president of Volkswagen Latin America, didn't you come this time?"

"No, Mr. Jeffries seems to have gone to Czech Snow, as if he was accompanying the president of the Volkswagen Group to discuss some business, and he was not able to come this time. Zhong Bo replied fifteen-ten.

"Czech Slovak?" Hearing the name of this country, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood something.

Czech Slovak is an old industrial power in Eastern Europe.

In many areas, it is not inferior to the so-called traditional economic powers of the West.

Czechoslovakia has a well-developed industry, mainly in the production of machine tools, automobiles, and machine-building industries such as power, chemical and metallurgical equipment.

Of course, it is also famous for its steel, chemical, textile, food, wood processing and other industries, as well as the shoe and beer brewing industries.

In addition, the level of agricultural mechanization in this country is also very high, and it is well known not only in Europe, but also on a global scale.

Because of the developed industry and the good relationship with China, in the fifties and sixties, China imported a considerable number of automobiles and machine tools from Czechoslovakia.

However, with the changes in the international situation, Czech Slovak, like many Eastern European countries, is also facing problems of one kind or another.

Its domestic industrial development has gradually entered a stage of temporary stagnation.

Under such circumstances, the shrewd Germanic people naturally set their minds on some industrial projects in this close neighbor of Eastern Europe.

Obviously, the Volkswagen Group has worked so hard this time that even several heavyweights have visited Czech Slovak, which must have targeted the heavyweight industrial enterprises of the other side.

Based on Zhao Guoyang's knowledge of the industrial aspects of the Czech Slovak country in his previous life, the one who can attract the attention of the Volkswagen Group is undoubtedly Skoda Automobile.

Škoda Automotive, headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, is one of the four oldest car manufacturers in the world.

Founded in 1895, the brand has experienced many wars, coups and mergers in the course of nearly 100 years, and has persevered in writing a glorious chapter in Skoda's history, showing amazing survivability!

Skoda's products such as Octavia, Jingrui, Roomster, Yeti and Praktika commercial vehicles are very influential all over the world.

In addition, this little-known car company has also developed concept models such as MissionLVisionC, VisionD, Vision S, and CitiJet, which definitely belongs to the kind of low-key and powerful car company.

However, in the memory of Zhao Guoyang's previous life, Skoda Automobile Company should have been acquired by Volkswagen in 1991.

But in this life after rebirth, the situation seems to have changed slightly, and Zhao Guoyang has not heard the news of the acquisition of Skoda Automobile Company.

"Could it be that this time the Volkswagen Group went to Prague just to negotiate with Skoda Automobile Company about the acquisition?"

This thought flashed in Zhao Guoyang's mind, and he soon confirmed that it was definitely the case.

Indeed, Volkswagen is gaining momentum all over the world.

In the seventies and eighties, it successively launched the "Golf", "Polo" and other models, in one fell swoop to seize the world's small car market, but also made Volkswagen make a lot of money.

In the case of too much money to mold, this auto giant naturally set its sights on other peers.

For an auto giant like Volkswagen, it is more cost-effective to buy other established car companies outright than to open branches around the world.

And Skoda, because of its good brand appeal and excellent production technology, belongs to the Volkswagen Group's favorite kind of acquiring car companies.

On the other hand, Skoda Car Company is also in urgent need of capital injection from the Volkswagen Group to regain its life due to its recent poor situation.

Obviously, as long as you can sit down and talk about the acquisition, the two will definitely hit it off and can reach an agreement at any time.

Thinking about the possible cooperation between Volkswagen Group and Skoda Automobile, Zhao Guoyang's mind gradually became lively.

Just when Zhao Guoyang was secretly thinking about whether he had the opportunity to make a fuss about this Skoda car company, the conference room had already arrived.

"Researcher Zhao, we're here, please come in!" Zhong Bo on the side glanced at the absent-minded Zhao Guoyang and reminded with a smile.

"Uh, okay, Director Zhong!" was reminded by Zhong Boyi, Zhao Guoyang reacted, nodded quickly, and followed the other party into the conference room.

This conference room of Songqi Group, Zhao Guoyang is not the first time to come here.

As soon as he entered, he naturally looked towards the oval table in the middle of the room.

"Ha, Brother Guoyang is here!" Mao Zhichun's laughter came in the direction of the middle of the table.

Seeing the big guy standing up and smiling and waving at himself, Zhao Guoyang said "uh" and walked over with a quickened pace.

"Chairman Mao, hello, hello!" First of all, Zhao Guoyang of course shook hands with Chairman Mao.

After the two exchanged a few words, Zhao Guoyang had no time to look at Chairman Mao's lower head.

The first thing that caught the eye, of course, was Chen Bin, the director of the technical department of Songqi Group.

"Researcher Zhao, hello, we haven't seen each other for a while!" After Chairman Mao let go of his hand, Chen Bin hurriedly held Zhao Guoyang's hand tightly.

"Yes, yes, Minister Chen!" Zhao Guoyang greeted the other party with a smile.

"Zhao Xiansen, long time no see!" said a person next to him, speaking in stiff Mandarin.

Zhao Guoyang turned his head and saw that the three board members of Volkswagen Latin America were nodding to him with a smile.

The person who spoke was Fidris, who was in charge of human resources, and the second person in Volkswagen Latin America after Jeffries.

In addition, Ayton, who is in charge of product development, and Derek, who is in charge of sales and marketing, are also standing and nodding to themselves.

Ayton was most interested in Zhao Guoyang, and after seeing him, the somewhat rosacea man said happily in Germanic language: "Dear Zhao, I finally saw you." ”

"When I came this time, I kept telling Minister Chen that I must thank you in person, and now I finally got what I wanted......

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was a little puzzled.

He twisted his neck and looked at Chen Bin, wondering what this "rosacea" meant.

After the translator on the side translated Ayton's words, Chen Bin immediately understood.

Looking at Zhao Guoyang's puzzled gaze, he quickly patted his head and explained, "Researcher Zhao, that's actually the case. ”

"The patent you sold to Volkswagen Latin America for the 'Vehicle Delay Cooling System' was successfully applied to the new Polo2 in Latin America. ”

"After the launch of this Polo2, the sales were unexpectedly good, especially the 'vehicle delay cooling system' of this new application, which has received a lot of praise......

As soon as Chen Bin explained this, Zhao Guoyang naturally understood.

He smiled and nodded, and said a few polite words to Ayton in Germanic language.

"Mr. Ayton, you can't thank me for this, after all, when you got this patent from me, you also spent a lot of money, let's take what we need, hehe!"

Ayton admired Zhao Guoyang's frankness and gave him a "thumbs up" again and again.

Fideris, who was in charge of human resources, and Derek, who was in charge of sales and marketing, also paid attention to Zhao Guoyang.

Seeing that the three foreigners were going to "monopolize" Zhao Guoyang as soon as they came, Chairman Mao was naturally unhappy.

He snorted and said, "Everyone, let's sit down and talk." ”

"Hmm, yes, yes, Mr. Zhao, please take a seat!" Ayton smiled and made a "please" gesture to Zhao Guoyang, and only after he sat down did he sit down.

In the conference room, Chairman Mao sat in the center.

On the left, Fidris, Ayton, Derek and several foreigners who came with them, looking at the appearance of these foreigners, they should also be the middle level of Volkswagen Latin America.

On the right, sitting are Zhao Guoyang, Chen Bin, Zhong Bo, and several middle cadres from the Technology Department and the Import and Export Department.

As for the short-haired female translator, she did not sit in the circle of the oval table, but sat in a position behind Chairman Mao.

After seeing everyone sitting down, Mao Zhichun smiled and said to Fidris on the left: "Mr. Fidris, how about it, I didn't break my promise." Said to invite Researcher Zhao over, this is the invitation to come......"

Federis smiled and nodded, looking at Zhao Guoyang's eyes, there was an indescribable meaning.

Seeing this somewhat peculiar look, Zhao Guoyang secretly felt a little puzzled.
