Chapter 273
Seeing Mao Zhichun and Luan Shengfeng coming, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang quickly stopped talking and greeted them.
Consul General Luan seemed to be in a good mood. After seeing Zhao Guoyang, he smiled and waved to him, "Guoyang, Chairman Mao has discussed it. Your delegation will probably have one more week to stay in St. Paul. During this week, in the consulate, Mr. Zhang lives next to you, responsible for protecting your safety. How about it?"
When Luan Shengfeng said this, a black and thin consulate member wearing military officer uniform was already standing behind Zhao Guoyang silently.
Following Consul General Luan's gaze, Zhao Guoyang noticed this inconspicuous appearance of Attorney Zhang.
Although he didn't think there would be any problems with his personal safety, Zhao Guoyang also knew that Luan Shengfeng had given him enough face to do so, and he could not refuse others' kindness.
So Zhao Guoyang nodded quickly and said, "Thank you Consul General Luan for your concern. I'm going to bother with Mr. Zhang."
Hearing Zhao Guoyang's politeness, Luan Shengfeng's smile became a little more intense.
He turned around and whispered a few words to the black and thin military officer Zhang, then shook hands with Mao Zhichun, and was getting in the car and leaving.
When Luan Shengfeng left, only the people from Songqi Group and Zhang Wuguan were left at the scene.
Mao Zhichun and Zhao Guoyang discussed it and everyone went back to the hotel to rest, and then set off for Volkswagen Latin American Company in the afternoon.
When they returned to the hotel, Mao Zhichun, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang took a car left by the Consulate General, while the rest took another business car.
As for the military officer named Zhang Guodong, he refused Mao Zhichun's invitation and drove a small car slowly and followed behind the two cars.
After getting on the bus, Mao Zhichun couldn't help talking about this military officer Zhang with Zhao Guoyang.
It can be seen that Mao Zhichun was still very envious of Zhao Guoyang for being able to enjoy such bodyguard treatment.
Of course, at Mao Zhichun's level, there is definitely no jealousy. After all, when he was in China, he could also have security personnel following him at any time.
"Guoyang, Mr. Zhang is obviously an excellent soldier. With him by your side, you can always take care of you." Mao Zhichun pointed to the back and said.
Zhao Guoyang didn't say much, but just nodded with a smile.
"By the way, Guoyang. When we go to Volkswagen Latin America in the afternoon, we will basically confirm the new Santana model. At that time, you have to help give some advice. Don't be polite!"
Of course, Zhao Guoyang agreed to Chairman Mao’s request.
In fact, one of the main purpose of the delegation's visit to Sao Paulo this time was to design a brand new business car for Songqi Group that meets the living habits of Chinese people.
In the current domestic automobile market, perhaps Santana's configuration, comfort, cost-effectiveness, etc. are already the best, and its sales are also far ahead.
But everyone in the automotive industry knows that the updates and replacement of automobile products are very fast. Santana is now very popular, but it is hard for anyone to say how long it will last.
If we don’t take out the future main car model as soon as possible while there is still time, and if other automobile companies take the lead and take out competitive models first, then Songqi Group may not be able to go so smoothly in the next few years.
Zhao Guoyang’s understanding of the automobile industry is undoubtedly much deeper than Mao Zhichun.
After listening to his request, Zhao Guoyang nodded and said, "Chairman Mao, I will definitely do my best in this matter. After these two days of consideration, I have already had a rough idea. In the afternoon, I can have an open and honest conversation with the people of Volkswagen Latin America..."
Hearing this, Mao Zhichun's expression relaxed: "It's great. Guoyang, if you have ideas, I have nothing to worry about. However, what if the plan you came up with is impossible to complete by the designers of Volkswagen Latin American Company? "
Zhao Guoyang naturally understood the meaning of Mao Zhichun.
He thought that if Volkswagen could not give a good design, he would want to stay and help himself.
Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Chairman Mao, don't worry about this."
"The scientific research level of Volkswagen Latin American company is obvious to all, and some of the ideas in my mind are based on their existing models and will never exceed their understanding. In addition, Minister Chen Bin and several engineers from our Songqi Group work together to come up with a good model, and there is definitely no problem."
"That's good, that's good!" Mao Zhichun clapped his legs when he heard this.
Zhang Yufang, who was standing beside him, felt a little impressed when he heard Zhao Guoyang’s idea of the new model.
In her opinion, Zhao Guoyang, a young man, is really calm and not arrogant, and it makes people unable to connect him with a young man in his early twenties.
What's even more rare is that Zhao Guoyang's indifference was not because of being mysterious, but because he really thought so.
This is also something that Zhang Yufang admires very much.
...
When I came to Volkswagen Latin America again, the situation was completely different from before.
At 1:30 p.m., when Songqi Group and his group arrived, Jeffries, chairman of Volkswagen Latin America, had already been waiting with his subordinates for a long time.
After shaking hands with Chairman Mao Zhichun and greetings, Jeffries immediately turned his attention to Zhao Guoyang.
"Researcher Zhao, can we sit down and have a good chat about the vehicle delay cooling system patent you applied for before?"
"I have reached an agreement with the board members and want to make this matter as soon as possible. Look..." Jeffries said impatiently.
Jeffries had no choice but to worry. Just in the morning, a deputy director who was familiar with the St. Paul Patent Office had called him and told him that Zhao Guoyang's patent had been approved.
After hearing the news, Jeffries immediately organized a meeting of members of the board of directors to study how to deal with this matter.
At the meeting, Ayton, who was in charge of product development, explained in detail the patent of Zhao Guoyang's "vehicle delay cooling system".
Aiton did not exaggerately analyze the broad prospects of this patent in the field of automobiles, especially household cars.
Indeed, as turbocharger technology becomes more and more widely used in cars, the market's requirements for perfection of this technology are almost at its peak.
In this case, if Volkswagen takes the lead in launching a model that can solve this problem, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the family car market.
On the other hand, if people from other automobile companies are allowed to obtain the right to use this patent by Zhao Guoyang, it will also have a similar effect.
In other words, whoever obtains Zhao Guoyang's patent first will take the lead in seizing this big piece of cake.
In such a situation, if Jeffries is not in a hurry, it would be a surprise.
After Jeffries asked this, Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and said, "Mr. Jeffries, let's put it aside first about the patent I am applying for."
"There has not been news yet on the St. Paul Patent Office. Whether my patent can be applied for is still a question. It is a bit too early to discuss this..."
Zhao Guoyang paused and continued: "Mr. Jeffries, our Chairman Mao came here today to discuss cooperation with your company on entrusting you with a new model. Should we discuss this first and then discuss other things?"
Zhao Guoyang said this, naturally, it was a bit of a bit of meaning.
He knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility that his patent would be passed in the São Paulo Patent Office.
The reason why the Patent Office has not called itself is to be cautious and report to the above further.
According to Zhao Guoyang's guess, at the latest, there should be news from the Patent Office in one or two days.
Once the patent application for this "vehicle delay cooling system" is approved, Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company will face a choice.
Should we first obtain the right to use this patent at a high price, or let ourselves release the news of this patent, and then compete with a group of international automobile production companies to win this right to use this right to use this right to use.
With Zhao Guoyang's understanding of Volkswagen Company, they would never choose the second path, and they must first obtain the right to use this patent.
In the future, even if this patent is purchased by other companies, it will take a certain amount of time to verify, practice, and finally apply it to mass-produced cars.
In this way, Volkswagen Latin American Company undoubtedly gained the lead in this battle without gunpowder.
But this opportunity is not something you can buy with more money.
It is precisely because Zhao Guoyang had long guessed the idea of Volkswagen Latin American company that he dared to control this international automobile giant in this way.
As expected, after Zhao Guoyang expressed his attitude, the muscles on Jeffries' face couldn't help but twitch.
"Yes, yes, what Researcher Zhao said makes sense. Indeed, we still need to wait until your patent approval is released before we can further discuss related cooperation matters."
"However, our Director Ayton has reported the previous situation to me. He is absolutely optimistic about Researcher Zhao's patent, and it will be a matter of time before he gets approval..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "I am really flattered by Mr. Aiton's recognition so much. Since that's the case, we might as well wait for a day or two more, and maybe there will be a result?"
When Jeffries heard this, he could only put down the topic temporarily, turned to Mao Zhichun, raised his arms and said, "Chairman Mao, let's go to the conference room and talk in detail about your company's requirements for this new model."
