After the flight attendant left, the plane took off quickly.

In the cabin, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi and Li Ru invited Mao Zhichun, Wu Jianlong and Zhao Guoyang to hold an internal seminar when the plane stabilized.

The main issues discussed are of course some issues that need to be paid attention to during this trip.

On the plane, the business class was basically occupied by the delegation.

The two big men sitting at the front were separated from the entourage behind them by two empty rows, and the meetings did not affect them at all.

After everyone sat down, Du Yitao, the leader of the delegation sitting in the middle, started to speak out.

"Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu, this trip to our delegation is carrying important tasks. You two should know this better than me, right?"

After Du Yitao said this, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong looked at each other and nodded: "I understand, Director Du, this time the negotiation with 'Skoda Automobile Company' is very important, we all know it!"

Du Yitao said "hum" and turned to Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, this time our trip to Prague involves some other business matters in addition to handling the acquisition of 'Skoda Automobile'."

"You are the chief advisor of our delegation. We may have to listen to you for many things..."

Speaking of this, Du Yitao smiled and said, "We have heard of Researcher Zhao's ability in the mechanical industry for a long time."

"I just don't know if you, Researcher Zhao, have any knowledge of the humanities, history, business and trade of the Czechoslovakia country?"

After hearing the boss's question, Zhao Guoyang nodded and said, "Director Du, don't worry about this. I still know some basic situation in the country of Czechoslovakia."

Zhao Guoyang's words were not bragging. In fact, before he was reborn, he had visited Czechoslovakia several times for inspection.

Although the country of Czechoslovakia is not large in size, its industry has always been very developed.

Before World War II, it was the seventh largest industrial country in the world, second only to America, Russia, German, English, France, and the Apennines.

It is even better than emerging industrial countries like island countries.

Especially in the automobile industry and machine tool manufacturing industry, Czechoslovakia is even more world-class.

Zhao Guoyang visited several times at that time, and discussed cooperation with a machine tool company in Prague.

At this time, since Director Du asked this question, Zhao Guoyang answered it in a realistic manner.

Originally, Zhao Guoyang's answer was very objective and did not mix any exaggerated words.

But he, a young man in his early twenties, is so confident about things outside his job. He doesn't like it in the ears of others.

As the director of the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Sun Zhi has always been a person with high self-esteem.

Although the old leader mentioned Zhao Guoyang in front of him several times, Sun Zhi never took it seriously.

In his opinion, this young "Researcher Zhao" may indeed have two tricks in the automobile industry and the machinery industry.

However, it would be an exaggeration to say that he is proficient in foreign trade and commerce between the two countries.

After Zhao Guoyang said this calmly, Sun Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Researcher Zhao, I don't mean to doubt you."

"But, IMHO, it seems that you are going to the country of Czechoslovakia for the first time?"

After hearing the words of Director Sun, the current big shots gradually put away their low voices and turned their eyes to him.

All of us here are people who have been practicing to become a master for a long time. They naturally understand what Sun Zhi meant in an instant.

There is no doubt that Director Sun really questioned how much Zhao Guoyang knew about the humanities, history, and business environment of the Czechoslovakia country.

Although he asked this question a little embarrassed, there was nothing wrong with it in terms of reason.

After all, everyone is on the same boat now. If Zhao Guoyang, the "chief consultant", did not have real talent, then whether it is Director Du or Sun Zhi, you can prepare early.

You should know that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade are definitely permanent representatives in Prague.

In addition to the usual ambassador to the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also has an ambassador to the executive work of the embassy.

Of course, business counselors, economic counselors, agricultural counselors, science and technology counselors, education counselors, cultural counselors and other related personnel are also indispensable.

Among them, the business counselor, economic counselor, and agricultural counselor are all led by both the diplomatic and foreign trade departments.

Now Sun Zhi is not at ease with Zhao Guoyang's ability in commerce and wants to learn more about it.

If Zhao Guoyang really fails, the delegation will ask for several people from the embassy to assist the delegation's daily work during its stay in Prague.

After Sun Zhi asked this question, the three big bosses Du Yitao, Li Ru and Wu Jianlong all threw a hint of confusion at Zhao Guoyang.

Although the three of them also know some of Zhao Guoyang, their understanding of his abilities is more heard from others.

Especially in terms of commerce, no one has ever heard of the special features of this "Researcher Zhao", so he naturally felt a little hesitant at this moment.

The only one on the field who has a lot of confidence in Zhao Guoyang is Chairman Mao of Songqi Group.

Mao Zhichun and Zhao Guoyang first met and had a deep understanding of him.

Whether it was the last trip to Samba or the several plans he made in his own factory later, Zhao Guoyang played an important role in it.

Therefore, Chairman Mao firmly believes in Zhao Guoyang's ability in commerce and finance.

After several bigwigs turned their attention to themselves at the same time, Zhao Guoyang took a sip of coffee and slowly started to speak: "Director Sun, it is indeed the first time I have been to Czechoslovakia, but this does not mean that I don't know this country."

"There is a saying that 'If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world'. I dare not say how deep I know this country. At least, there will be no problems with basic communication!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's confident words, Sun Zhi's brows tightened even more.

Of course he knew that the other party should be capable. But no matter how capable you are, you should speak in front of us diplomats who are traveling around the world, right?

Although he was already a little unhappy, Sun Zhi still did not show it on the surface.

He pondered for a moment, and asked in a smile: "Researcher Zhao is full of confidence in himself, this is a good thing."

"If you don't mind, I have a few questions here, I would like to ask. Researcher Zhao, can you give a little answer?"

As the top leader of the European Division of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Sun Zhi is definitely very good at analyzing trade in Eastern European countries.

How could the question he asked be simple?

This boss said politely on the surface, but in this tone, there was obviously a meaning to control Zhao Guoyang.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Guoyang would not agree easily, but who knew that after listening to the other party's words, Zhao Guoyang sat upright and nodded disregardfully and said, "Director Sun has something to say. If you can answer, I will do my best!"

Sun Zhi's eyes stagnated, and he immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, then I'll be disrespectful!"

Sun Zhi took a sip of strong tea and spoke slowly: "First of all, it's a language problem."

"I heard from Minister Yao that Researcher Zhao, you are not only proficient in English, but also have profound attainments in languages ​​such as Portuguese and French..."

"So, what language is commonly used in the country of Czechoslovakia? Do you know about it? Walking on the road, can you communicate freely with ordinary people in this country?"

After hearing this question, Du Yitao and Li Ru looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Indeed, language issues are always the biggest problem when visiting externally.

Especially when visiting Eastern European countries such as Czechosnovakia and Serbia, the complex language types are even more troublesome.

Although Zhao Guoyang knows English, French and Portuguese, these three foreign languages ​​are still in the mainstream language category, which is not too shocking.

But how much does he know about the language of Eastern European countries?

This is also something everyone is curious about.

After hearing Director Sun's question, Zhao Guoyang calmly answered without much thought: "Director Sun, I still have something to do with the language of Czechoslovakia."

"There are two languages ​​in the country of Czechoslovakia. They are Czech and Snowvakia. They, Polish, Sobu, etc., belong to the Slavic language family and the Western Slavic branch..."

Sun Zhi didn't expect that Zhao Guoyang really understood this, and the muscles on his face trembled a little.

Zhao Guoyang did not notice the change in the other party's expression. He continued to speak in his own voice: "Since the majority of Czech speakers are the Czech language in the country, I will just use Czech language. Director Sun, do you think it's okay?"

"Uh... OK, OK!" Sun Zhi was shocked by Zhao Guoyang's sudden question and nodded subconsciously.

Zhao Guoyang raised his two fingers and said, "Czech is a very difficult language to learn. One of the reasons is that Czech language has rich forms."

"According to statistics, there are more than 200 types of Czech language, dozens of times that of English!"

"These different forms in Czech make the words in the sentence freely combine at will without worrying about word order."

"On the one hand, this is the characteristic of Czech; but on the other hand, this linguistic freedom also causes difficulties for scholars of these languages."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment before Zhan Yan smiled and said, "However, you don't have to be scared by my words. In fact, the standard Czech language has written and spoken forms."
