Chapter 528 Luncheon at Chenin Palace
On the plane, after Zhao Guoyang talked to Sun Zhi about his understanding of the Czechoslovak language, the person opposite changed slightly.
Although Sun Zhi had heard of Zhao Guoyang's ability before, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
In addition, he was a little dissatisfied with the conceit in Zhao Guoyang's speech just now, so he ran over him, wanting to see what real skills this young man has.
In Sun Zhi's opinion, this young man is in his early twenties and has only a bachelor's degree.
Not to mention that you are a graduate student who graduated from a foreign language university, even if you bring a few subordinates to you, you will have no advantage at all.
Even if this kid is capable, can he still stand on his own professionals in terms of his understanding of the history, culture, economy and other aspects of Eastern European countries?
I originally thought that my run would make Zhao Guoyang retreat due to the difficulties.
Who knew that the result was beyond Sun Zhi's expectations.
After Sun Zhi raised these questions about Czechoslovakia, Zhao Guoyang quickly gave a comprehensive answer.
Not only in terms of language, but also in terms of industry, Zhao Guoyang even needs to import and export the most to Czechoslovakia, and all the goods that have been exported the most are clear.
It's like he had done a comprehensive study of Czechoslovakia.
After Zhao Guoyang's argument that was so meaningful, Sun Zhi, the extremely proud boss, finally became really convinced.
After Zhao Guoyang talked about the advantages of Czechosnovakia in the industries of steel, chemistry, textile, food, wood, etc., Sun Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's indeed a 'no-famous scholar'! Researcher Zhao, I solemnly take back what I said just now! You, the 'chief consultant', are definitely worthy of it!"
Listening to Sun Zhixin's convinced words, Du Yitao and Li Ru looked at each other and smiled, with a relaxed look on their faces.
Zhao Guoyang didn't expect that Director Sun would say such apologies in front of so many people, and he was also a little amazed in his heart.
Of course, Zhao Guoyang is not the type who is unreasonable.
After Director Sun relaxed his tone, he also said a few humble words, saying that he would work hard to cooperate with the leaders' work.
After hearing this, Du Yitao, the head of the delegation, was Yile: "Researcher Zhao, our work this time is very simple, we are here to escort you, Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu."
"So, this time it should be Director Sun and Director Li, who should cooperate with your work."
After Du Yitao finished speaking, Li Ru also smiled: "Yes, Guoyang, you, just think about how to sing the "Skoda" drama with Chairman Mao and Chairman Wu."
"As for other trivial matters, we will help deal with them, so you don't have to worry too much."
Seeing that the bosses were all this, Zhao Guoyang nodded silently.
After Du Yitao and Li Ru finished speaking, Sun Zhi also interrupted: "Researcher Zhao, I hope that after completing the acquisition of 'Skoda Automobile Company', you can make some contributions to the dialogue between private trade between our country and Czechoslovakia."
"Of course, your primary task is to handle the matters on Skoda. Let's talk about the rest after the main business is handled." Sun Zhi smiled.
After Director Sun said this, Zhao Guoyang felt confident.
I think this time, in addition to promoting the relevant matters of "Skoda Automobile Company", the Ministry of Foreign Trade must also have other plans.
Although Boss Yao did not mention this matter to him, Sun Zhi's attitude has already explained it all.
Zhao Guoyang is still quite interested in the bilateral trade between China and Czechoslovakia.
If time permits, he certainly hopes to be involved.
Speaking of which, his own "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" has only opened the Latin America line for the time being, which is far from enough for Zhao Guoyang, who is determined to be the world and plans the world in the future.
This time, it is undoubtedly an exciting thing to reach a consensus on cooperation with a trading company in Czechoslovakia.
...
The journey from Beijing to Czechoslovakia is not long, it only takes just over ten hours.
When the plane landed at Prague Luzine International Airport, it was noon local time.
Although Zhao Guoyang and his delegation were only medium-sized and did not have senior cadres in the strict sense, Czechoslovakia still sent high-level leaders like Vice Foreign Minister Kermenchik to welcome them.
Of course, those who appeared at the airport to welcome the delegation were also Meng Liangyu, the Chinese Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, Gu Jianbin and others.
Meng Liangyu is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He has a gentle temperament and a very scholarly temperament.
When shook hands with Zhao Guoyang, the boss chatted with him for a few words.
It can be seen that Ambassador Meng has learned about the deeds of Zhao Guoyang in advance from certain channels.
In contrast, Minister Gu Jianbin is much more mature and persistent.
Apart from the handshakes and greetings at the beginning, he and Zhao Guoyang did not have much greetings.
Kermenchik is a fat man, tall and has a beer belly unique to Eastern Europeans.
After shook hands with the bigwigs of the delegation one by one, he did not miss Zhao Guoyang, the youngest in the team.
Holding Zhao Guoyang's hand, the boss smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, there is a word in your country called 'young and promising'. I think it is most appropriate to use it on you! Lucky for you!"
Obviously, Zhao Guoyang's identity as the "chief consultant" is quite concerned about Kelmenchik.
After the welcoming ceremony, Kermenchik discussed with Ambassador Meng Liangyu and asked the group to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for lunch first, and then check in to the embassy.
Meng Liangyu of course readily accepted the big boss's opinion.
He talked about the situation with Du Yitao, Li Ru and the others, and then led everyone into the car one by one.
...
The Czech Novak Foreign Ministry, located in the Cynin Palace in Roreta Square in the castle district of Prague, is a typical Baroque-style building with a large building area. From the exterior, it is very majestic and atmospheric.
Although Zhao Guoyang had been to Prague no less than dozens of times before he was reborn, this was the first time he had come to this Chening Palace.
After entering, Kelmenchik led everyone to sit in the long restaurant.
After the boss gave his enthusiastic speech, a sumptuous luncheon officially began.
The big plate, with fragrant cream, sour cranberry sauce, and the super flavorful beef simmered slowly in a light heat.
This is the most famous dish in Czechoslovakia - beef stewed with cream.
In Czechoslovakia, soup is a must for every meal.
Not only because Czechosnovak soup is nutritious, but the key is that it also has the effect of beauty and beauty.
There was a delicious sour cream soup on the dining table today.
The sour cream soup with wild mushrooms, potatoes, dill and quail eggs is fragrant but not greasy at all, and is classic southern bohemian style.
Zhao Guoyang naturally would not have any obstacles to the dining habits of Czechoslovakia.
In contrast, Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, who were sitting next to him, were a little stretched.
Seeing these two people not knowing how to attack the stewed beef in front of them, Zhao Guoyang coughed lightly and set an example for them.
While everyone was enjoying the delicious food, Kelmenchik also told a joke or two from time to time to set off the atmosphere of the dining.
It can be seen that this deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is really a funny and humorous person.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Sun, this is the most famous Pilsner beer in Czechoslovakia. Let's have a drink!"
When Kermenchik said this proposal in Czech, Zhao Guoyang smiled and winked at Mao Zhichun beside him and said, "Mr. Mao, raise your glass, Mr. Kermenchik let us drink!"
As soon as Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, the translator over there had already translated Kermenchik's words.
Sure enough, I just invited everyone to drink.
Mao Zhichun has long been accustomed to Zhao Guoyang's ability.
As for Wu Jianlong beside him, he has gradually adapted to this situation.
However, there was a hint of emotion and hope in the eyes of this boss looking at Zhao Guoyang.
What Wu Jianlong regrets now is that it is a bit too late to meet this young Researcher Zhao.
If I could get to know each other earlier, maybe my FAW Group's plan to enter the Eastern European market would have long been aware of it.
When dining, everyone didn't say much.
With Czech Novak officials present, the leader Du Yitao could only say some face-to-face clichés.
As for some details of the acquisition of shares of "Skoda Automobile Company" in this trip, we can only discuss with Ambassador Meng Liangyu after the luncheon.
I thought the luncheon would end calmly like this.
Who knew that when the food was almost done, Kelmenchik suddenly turned to Du Yitao and said, "Mr. Du, your country sent such a huge delegation to this time, which should be related to the transfer of shares of 'Skoda Automobile Company'?"
As soon as the "fat brother" asked the question, everyone's faces showed a look of shock.
Obviously, no one expected that Mr. Kelmenchick was actually a guy pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he could see through the purpose of the China trade delegation's trip at a glance.
While Du Yitao was still thinking about how to reply to the other party, Kelmenchik had guessed the real situation from the expression on the big guy's face.
The boss laughed and said, "Mr. Du, don't get me wrong."
"We in the Czechosnovak government and the 'Skoda Automobile Company' are open and welcoming about this matter!"
"Even if you didn't come for this matter, I plan to give it to Mr. Du's delegation!"
Speaking of this, Du Yitao exchanged glances with several bigwigs in the delegation, knowing that there was no need to hide them.
He turned his head to look at Kelmenchik, smiled and nodded, "I admire Kelmenchik's frankness very much."
"That's right, our delegation has a trip this time, which is to visit your country's 'Skoda Automobile Company'!"
Chapter completed!
