After a walk around the "Ginza" commercial street, Zhao Guoyang invited everyone to a hearty Japanese meal at a nearby restaurant, and then turned back to the hotel.

Zhao Guoyang's place where they stayed was very close to the Tokyo Machinery and Equipment Exhibition Hall, only a kilometer away.

The reason why I was able to book such a convenient hotel was also because Kim so-joo helped.

She has participated in several Asian hoisting machinery and equipment exhibitions before and is familiar with the situation in Tokyo, so it is naturally not a problem to find such a hotel.

Since the exhibition will not start until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, Zhao Guoyang and the others did not rush to sleep after returning to the hotel, but gathered everyone together and talked about the precautions for tomorrow's exhibition.

In the conference room, after Zhao Guoyang gathered everyone, he slowly opened his voice: "Everyone, although the opening time of tomorrow's exhibition is relatively late, but because we are exhibitors, we can go in an hour in advance to prepare." ”

"The organizer of the exhibition has a limit on the number of people who can enter each exhibitor in advance, so let's study this candidate now!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's narration, Zhao Siyan beside him was a little puzzled.

Zhao Guoyang noticed the look of surprise on her face, so he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Manager Siyan, if you have any questions, just ask." We're having a seminar now, and it's mainly for everyone to discuss!"

Hearing this, Zhao Siyan nodded "um" and said, "Mr. Zhao, what I don't understand is why this exhibition opened so late. ”

"Didn't the Asian Auto Show we held in Songjiang City open at 8 o'clock in the morning?"

After Zhao Siyan asked this question, Liu Yan and Tang Wanru all nodded in agreement.

Zhao Guoyang smiled and explained: "It's not difficult to understand this, in island countries, under normal circumstances, enterprises only go to work at about 10 o'clock. The reason is simple, around 9 o'clock in the morning, it is the peak of traffic in the island country, and a large number of students have to go to campus. ”

"In order to avoid this morning rush hour, most companies in Japan do not start work until 10 a.m. Of course, it is normal for some high-level leaders within the enterprise to even arrive at work at noon and afternoon!"

Hearing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is too happy." Don't go to work until 10 a.m., so you can sleep a little longer!"

Zhao Guoyang snorted slightly, poured a basin of cold water and said, "You can't say that." Although enterprises in the island countries work late, they also have an eight-hour system. After going to work in the morning, I don't leave work until 6 p.m., and I don't have any time to rest except for lunch. ”

"If our 'SMS company' really follows the island country, I'm afraid that you, Liu Yan, will complain again and again......"

was teased by Mr. Zhao, but Liu Yan was not angry at all.

She muttered, puffed up her chest and said, "Then Mr. Zhao, since the enterprises in the island country work at 10 o'clock, why do you have to be an hour late tomorrow for the opening ceremony?"

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and explained: "This is normal, our domestic exhibitions or something, aren't they also postponed for about an hour after the normal working hours of the enterprise?"

Zhao Guoyang explained like this, and everyone was finally relieved.

Next, Zhao Guoyang assigned a task to everyone and confirmed the candidates who would enter the exhibition hall in advance tomorrow morning.

Because Zhao Siyan is the direct leader of the technical department, she must go first.

In addition, other equipment management and equipment maintenance personnel will naturally be present.

And Liu Yan and Tang Wanru, because they are responsible for the development of new products, the main task of coming over this time is also to see the products of the world's major lifting equipment brands, so it doesn't matter if they are not there.

As for Zhao Guoyang himself, because he is the chairman of the company, it is naturally impossible to deal with these trivial matters in advance. If you say it, it's too cheap.

What's more, tomorrow's exhibition, he is not just participating as the chairman of the "SMS company".

"Daewoo Heavy Industries Group" also has an exhibition area, so he naturally has to take care of one or two.

Although SMS acquired a majority of the shares of Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, the two are still independent in terms of operation and management.

For this exhibition, Kim so-joo was supposed to lead a team to come in person.

But because there were other things to do in Malaysia, she had to send other people from her staff to participate in the exhibition. and called Zhao Guoyang and asked him to help take care of it.

In this case, of course, Zhao Guoyang, the chairman, can't stay out of the matter, and must go over to support the field.

After arranging tomorrow's work, Zhao Guoyang explained a few words to Zhao Siyan, asking her to call her directly if she had any problems tomorrow.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone naturally went back to their rooms to rest.

After Zhao Guoyang went back to wash up, he was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed when the phone rang on the table.

He couldn't help but look at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock.

"At this time, who will call by yourself?"

Zhao Guoyang muttered as he walked over to connect Big Brother.

"Researcher Zhao, is it Researcher Zhao?" a French-speaking voice shouted on the other end of the phone.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Guoyang was stunned.

He asked tentatively, "I'm Zhao Guoyang, and you're Mr. Lexa?"

On the other end of the phone, after listening to Zhao Guoyang's judgment, laughter rang out: "Yes, yes, Researcher Zhao's memory is really good, I'm Lexa!"

Lexa, deputy general manager of the International Mining Development Company under the General Directorate of Geological and Mineral Survey of France, is a heavyweight that Zhao Guoyang met during his "trip to Africa".

After returning from Africa, Zhao Guoyang and his "SMS company" have always had good business contacts with the French General Bureau of Geology and Mineral Survey, and provided a lot of lifting equipment and excavation equipment to the other party.

In just one day this year, the trade volume between the "SMS company" and the General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Survey of France exceeded 100 million.

This number is enough to rank among the top five customers of "SMS companies".

Hearing that it was this big customer, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly chatted politely with the other party.

After some pleasantries, Lexa explained with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, if you didn't guess wrong, you should be in the island country at this time, right?"

was guessed by Lexa where he was going, and Zhao Guoyang didn't feel any surprise.

He sighed and nodded, "That's right, Mr. Lexa, I'm in the island country." Tomorrow is the beginning of the 'Asian Hoisting Machinery and Equipment Exhibition', and of course our 'SMS company' will also participate. ”

Hearing this, Lexa responded with a smile: "Yes, Researcher Zhao, the quality and cost performance of several lifting equipment from your 'SMS company' are very good, and the only thing lacking is fame." This 'Asian Hoisting Machinery and Equipment Exhibition' is a great opportunity!"

Zhao Guoyang smiled with relief and said humbly: "In terms of fame, I still have to ask Mr. Lexa to help us promote a little more." You, together with the Directorate General of Geology and Mineral Surveys of France, are the leaders in the mining development industry. Your words are much more effective than our flag-waving and shouting......"

"Well said, well said!"

Lexa was very satisfied with Zhao Guoyang's modesty, and laughed twice.

Zhao Guoyang's words actually don't have much of an element of sycophancy.

Speaking of which, the General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Survey of France, as the largest mining exploration agency in France and a mining investor, has a wide range of operations in Europe, Africa, Latin America and other places.

Let's just talk about this Mr. Lexa, he has a considerable say in the mining development of the entire African region.

In Africa, there are one or two dozen mines under its control.

This does not include the mines that they work with the General Directorate of Geological and Mineral Surveys of France.

In short, Mr. Lexar's words may bring a sensational effect to the "SMS company".

Therefore, Zhao Guoyang is of course extremely careful when dealing with this person.

After chatting for a few words, Zhao Guoyang realized that this Mr. Lexa called to ask him to help.

Lexa opened his voice and said: "Researcher Zhao, this time the 'Asian Hoisting Machinery and Equipment Exhibition', I also wanted to come over. But because of the fact that a copper mine has just been discovered in Mozambique, I really can't leave...... I can only ask you for help in this matter!"

"That's right, our General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Surveys of France has just reached a cooperation agreement with Bolivia in Latin America. After paying a certain fee, the Bolivian government will allow us to explore and exploit oil and gas within their waters. ”

Lexar paused and continued: "In terms of this sea survey, we naturally don't have any problems. However, in this mining, large lifting equipment is required. ”

"Researcher Zhao, you should know more about these equipment than I do, so I just want to trouble you and help me pay attention to it tomorrow at the exhibition. ”

When Lexa said this, Zhao Guoyang understood what he meant.

This is because he knew that his "SMS company" did not have heavy lifting equipment suitable for offshore mining, so he asked himself to help him.

First, this Mr. Lexa wants to use his professional mastery to choose a suitable heavy lifting equipment for them in the General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Surveys of France.

Moreover, it can be regarded as selling one for yourself.

After all, if I represent the "General Bureau of Geology and Mineral Survey of France" tomorrow to choose the manufacturer, then the right to speak at the exhibition will be completely different.

It is impossible to say that even the giants of the lifting industry such as "Liebherr" and "Manitowoc" have to curry favor with themselves.

After all, the name of the "General Directorate of Geology and Mineral Survey of France" is here, and if manufacturers in the lifting industry can catch this line, the future is definitely bright.

This matter is not difficult for Zhao Guoyang, and there are many benefits, of course he agreed to it in one bite.

Lexa thanked Zhao Guoyang happily, chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.
