Chapter 567: When the Water Is Mixed, It's Good to 'Touch the Fish'

"Brother Guoyang, I'm afraid there are more automobile companies coming today than we expected. ”

Looking at the representatives of various enterprises who entered the conference room one after another, Mao Zhichun, who was sitting next to Zhao Guoyang, couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Yes, Researcher Zhao. The participating companies we estimated before were about ten. But it's not even a quarter past nine o'clock, and there are already seven or eight of them, and the situation is not optimistic......" Wu Jianlong also said with emotion on the side.

Regarding this situation, Zhao Guoyang did not feel any surprises.

He smiled and explained: "Well, in fact, there are many companies coming, and it is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, when the water is mixed, it's good to 'touch the fish'!"

"As a party that is not favored on the surface, the more participants we have, the more beneficial it should be to us. ”

Glancing at the bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" who had appeared at the entrance, Zhao Guoyang said with a smile: "This kind of thing, if you want to pay attention to it, those ambitious giants are much more concerned than us." ”

Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the place where Zhao Guoyang's eyes were looking.

When these two bigwigs saw Thomas, vice president of Volkswagen Group and manager of the market development department, Yang Sen, director of the technology development department, and Jeffries, chairman of Volkswagen Latin America Automobile Company, they showed a look of understanding.

Because the "Songqi Group" and "FAW Group" both have a cooperative relationship with the "Volkswagen Group", Thomas, Yang Sen, Mao and Wu all know each other.

Mao Zhichun has been to Samba Country before, so Jeffries, he is also familiar with him.

After seeing these people from the "Volkswagen Group" coming, Mao Zhichun whispered to Zhao Guoyang: "Brother Guoyang, the 'Volkswagen Group' has put on a posture of ambition. ”

"These days, when I was hosting a delegation from Volkswagen Latin America, I heard them mention Jeffries by chance, as if their chairman, was about to rise to the top. I don't know if it's true or not......"

After Mao Zhichun finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang responded calmly: "The boss of the overseas branch, since he is involved in such a big thing as a merger, he can't be wrong. ”

When the people of the "Volkswagen Group" arrived, they were naturally given pre-arranged positions by the staff of the organizer "Skoda Automotive".

Thomas, Janssen, and Jeffries all noticed the people on the side of the Chinese delegation.

After seeing Zhao Guoyang, the three bigwigs invariably showed him a friendly smile and waved at him at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang also stood up politely, and nodded to the three bigwigs from afar.

The representatives of the "Volkswagen Group" have received so much attention in the audience, and the familiarity between Thomas and the three of them and Zhao Guoyang is naturally seen by everyone.

Seeing this, Zheng Xianyong, chairman of Hyundai Group, stared at him, and his brows locked into the word "Sichuan".

"Father, who is that Huaxia man, it seems to be quite good, even the people of the 'public' know it? Could it be that this guy is the same as Mo Xiaotian's guy, he is also a 'eating inside and out'?" Zheng Zhilong said with some unhappiness.

Hearing this, Zheng Xianyong couldn't help but cast a "serious" look at his little son: "What nonsense! Do your own business, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

reprimanded his son, Zheng Xianyong's heart was actually far less calm than he became.

The strength of the "Volkswagen Group" in the industry is well known.

Even the "leader" of the automobile industry in the stick country, which has always "regarded itself very highly", "Hyundai Group" knows that it cannot be compared with others.

Now the three bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" are actually greeting and greeting a young man in China in such a "blatant" way, what does this mean?

In Zheng Xianyong's view, nine times out of ten, this is the meaning of the "Volkswagen Group" to further develop the huge automobile market of "Huaxia".

This young man is obviously a key link in the cooperation between the two.

This made Zheng Xianyong have to pay attention to it.

In fact, after the relationship between South Korea and China "broke the ice" in the past two years, Zheng Hyun-yong and his "Hyundai Group" have reached an internal consensus that they must take advantage of their geographical advantages to seize the first hand in "invading" this huge market.

As a neighbor of China, South Koreans also have mixed feelings about this "behemoth".

On the one hand, they will have inferiority complex in the face of this neighboring country, which used to be superior to them, and on the other hand, after the development of the science and technology industry with the "thigh" of the United States, they are a little proud of the backwardness of this neighbor in many aspects.

But in any case, there is no doubt that Huaxia is the market with the greatest potential in the world.

As the most important industrial enterprise in South Korea, Hyundai Group has a very large market in China for many industries, such as construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, as well as steel, machinery, trade, and transportation.

Especially in the automotive industry, Hyundai Group has positioned "Huaxia" as the world's first strategic market early.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Xianyong naturally attaches great importance to the close relationship between the "Volkswagen Group" and Huaxia.

After a few circles of his eyes on Zhao Guoyang's body, this Zheng Zheng gradually calmed down.

"This young man needs to pay more attention!" This is the true thought in Zheng Xianyong's heart at this time.

Just when the arrival of several important figures of the "Volkswagen Group" caused a commotion in the conference room, several blonde Europeans in suits and leather shoes came to the door.

The first person was more than 1.85 meters tall, thin, and probably in his early forties.

Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he walked like a fly and was full of momentum.

After this group of people entered, the staff of "Skoda Automobile" trotted over to greet them like people who had just greeted "Volkswagen".

Noticing the respect of these staff members to the middle-aged man, Chairman Mao beside Zhao Guoyang showed a suspicious look.

"Uh, Brother Guoyang, which company are these people from? It seems that in the eyes of 'Skoda', the status is not inferior to that of 'Volkswagen Group'!"

"Yes, the middle-aged people in the middle seem to know a lot of people, and they are all talking about it!" Wu Jianlong also echoed.

When the two chairmen expressed their opinions, Zhao Guoyang had already roughly guessed the identities of this group of people.

Needless to say, those who can faintly suppress the "Volkswagen Group" in terms of "momentum" must be the people of "Daimler AG".

And the middle-aged man in the middle, Zhao Guoyang had also seen some introductions in a magazine before - Thomas Lane, president of "Daimler AG".

Zhao Guoyang's memory is naturally not wrong, when the middle-aged man was led by the staff to the area where his company is located, the three bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" had already gotten up to greet him.

"Hey, Mr. Lane! meet again!" said Thomas.

"Well, it turned out to be Mr. Thomas. The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then his gaze fell on Yang Sen on the side.

"Mr. Yang Sen is here too, what a blessing!"

Yang Sen is from a technical background, and words are not his strong point.

After greeting the president of Lane, he stood silently and listened to Thomas talk to the other party.

"Mr. Lane, you must be very sure that you are in charge of Daimler AG today, and I will ask your subordinates to be merciful later!" Thomas said happily.

"Mr. Thomas is too modest, and we at Daimler AG have a lot to learn from you at the Volkswagen Group in small and medium-sized cars. This time, if we can successfully bid for the shares of 'Skoda Automobile', we will definitely organize people to go to your company to learn and learn in the future......"

Although Ryan's words were polite, the strong confidence in them made people a little breathless.

After all, Thomas is only the vice president of the "Volkswagen Group", and in the face of the toughness of the boss of the "Daimler AG", the momentum is still much worse.

After Lane made his statement, he could only smile and say: "Hehe, Mr. Lane, our 'Volkswagen Group' is also very fond of some manufacturing processes and technologies of 'Skoda'. So, we'll just have to see the real thing at hand......"

"Okay, then let's wait and see!" Ryan replied, and then passed by the people of the "Volkswagen Group" and sat down in his place.

Ryan and Thomas, representing the two giants of "Daimler" and "Volkswagen" respectively, naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

After Zhao Guoyang translated the conversation between the two to Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the faces of the two chairmen were a little unsightly.

Obviously, Lane's tough attitude towards taking the shares of "Skoda" made these two bigwigs have some heart palpitations.

On the other hand, the leaders of Du Yitao, Sun Zhi and Li Ru also had some inexplicable nervousness about this.

Looking at the jealousy on the faces of the bigwigs on his side, although Zhao Guoyang was a little relieved, he couldn't come up with a good way for the time being, so he could only maintain a wait-and-see attitude first.

After the arrival of the two giants "Volkswagen" and "Daimler", the participants of the rest of the car companies also attended.

The ghostwriting of giants such as the "Ford Group" in the United States, the "Logo Company" in France, and the "Fiat Automobile Consortium" in the Apennines appeared one by one.

At 9:30 a.m., the last corporate representative entered the conference room.

Needless to say, it is naturally Zhao Guoyang's partner Kim so-joo, and her "Daewoo Group".

Because she had communicated with Zhao Guoyang before, Jin Xiuzhu did not have any hope for this "merger and acquisition".

Coupled with the unique character of South Koreans, it is not difficult to understand that they came to the conference site with a little pressure.
