Chapter 567
"Brother Guoyang, I'm afraid there are more automobile companies coming today than we expected."
Looking at the representatives of various companies entering the conference room one after another, Mao Zhichun, who was sitting next to Zhao Guoyang, couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Yes, Researcher Zhao. The companies we estimated that there were about ten participating companies before. But now, seven or eight companies have arrived before 9:00, and the situation is not optimistic..." Wu Jianlong also sighed quite emotionally.
Zhao Guoyang did not find any surprises about this situation.
He smiled and explained, "Well, in fact, there are too many companies coming to you, it may not be a bad thing. After all, it is better to 'suck' if you are mixed up!"
"As the party that is not favored on the surface, the more participants we should be, the more beneficial it should be to us."
After glanced at the big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" that had already appeared at the entrance, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "If you want to pay attention to this kind of thing, those ambitious giants are much more concerned than us."
Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong were stunned for a moment, and then looked at where Zhao Guoyang looked.
When these two bigwigs saw the "frowning" of Volkswagen Group, Thomas, Market Development Manager, Yang Sen, Director of Technology Development Department, and Jeffries, Chairman of Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company, they showed a hint of understanding.
Because of "Songqi Group" and "FAW Group" have cooperative relationships with "Volkswagen Group", Thomas, Yang Sen, Mao and Wu all know each other.
Since Mao Zhichun had been to Samba before, he was also familiar with Jeffries.
After seeing these people from the "Volkswagen Group" coming, Mao Zhichun whispered to Zhao Guoyang: "Brother Guoyang, the 'Volkswagen Group' is posing as if it is determined to win."
"These days, when I was hosting the 'Volkswagen Latin American Company', I heard them mention Jeffries by chance. It seemed that their chairman would be promoted soon. I don't know whether it is true or false..."
After Mao Zhichun finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang responded calmly: "Since this boss of the overseas branch has been involved in major events like mergers, he may not be wrong."
After the people from the "Volkswagen Group" arrived, they were naturally led to the pre-arranged position by staff of the organizer "Skoda Automobile Company".
Thomas, Janssen and Jeffries all noticed the people on the Chinese delegation.
After seeing Zhao Guoyang, the three big bosses showed a good smile to him at the same time, and waved to him.
Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang stood up politely and nodded to the three big men from afar.
The representatives of the "Volkswagen Group" have attracted so much attention from the audience. Thomas and the others are naturally seen by everyone.
Seeing this, Zheng Xianyong, chairman of Hyundai Group, saw this, his eyes narrowed and his eyebrows turned into a word "chuan".
"Father, who is that Chinese? It seems to be quite awesome. Even the 'Popular' people know? Could it be that this guy is like that guy Mo Xiaotian, and he is also a 'traitor'?" Zheng Zhilong said with some displeasure.
After hearing this, Zheng Xianyong couldn't help but cast a "serious" look at his youngest son: "What are you talking nonsense! Do your own thing well, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
After scolding his son, Zheng Xianyong's heart was actually far less peaceful than he was.
Everyone knows the strength of "Volkswagen Group" in the industry.
Even the "leader" of the Bangziguo automobile industry, which has always been "very high", "Hyundai Group" knows that it cannot compare with others.
Now the three big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" actually greeted and greeted a young man from China like this "blatantly". What does this mean?
In Zheng Xianyong's view, this is what "Volkswagen Group" wants to further explore the huge automobile market of "Huaxia".
This young man is obviously a key link in the cooperation between the two.
This forced Zheng Xianyong to pay attention to it.
In fact, after the relationship between South Korea and China "breaks the ice" in the past two years, Zheng Xianyong and his "Modern Group" have reached an internal consensus that they must take advantage of their geographical advantages to seize the lead in "invading" this huge market.
As a neighbor of China, the South Koreans' feelings about this "behemoth" are also very complicated.
On the one hand, they will feel inferior when facing this neighbor that was powerful above them in the past; on the other hand, after the development of the American "thigh" science and technology industry, they are a little proud of their backwardness in many aspects.
But no matter what, China is the most potential market in the world, and there is no doubt about this.
As the most important industrial enterprise in South Korea, many of Hyundai Group's industries, such as construction, shipbuilding, automobiles, as well as steel, machinery, trade, and transportation industries, have a very broad market in China.
Especially in the automotive industry, Hyundai Group has positioned "Huaxia" as the world's number one strategic market early on.
Under this circumstance, Zheng Xianyong naturally attaches great importance to the close relationship between the "Volkswagen Group" and China.
After circling around Zhao Guoyang for a few times, President Zheng gradually calmed down.
"This young man needs to pay more attention!" This is the real thought in Zheng Xianyong's mind at this time.
Just as the arrival of several important figures from the "Volkswagen Group" caused a stir in the conference room, several blonde and blue-eyed Europeans in suits and ties came in front of the door.
The first person is over 1.85 meters tall, he is thin, and is about in his early forties.
This man was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and walked as fast as he could, with great momentum.
After these people came in, the staff at "Skoda Automobile Company" trotted over to greet them like those who had just greeted "Volkswagen".
Noting the respect of these staff members to the middle-aged man among them, Chairman Mao next to Zhao Guoyang showed suspicion.
"Uh, Brother Guoyang, which company do these people belong to? It seems that their status in the eyes of 'Skoda' is not inferior to 'Volkswagen Group' at all!"
"Yes, it seems that many middle-aged people in the middle are knowing each other and they are talking about it!" Wu Jianlong also echoed.
When the two chairmans expressed their opinions, Zhao Guoyang had roughly guessed the identities of these people.
Needless to say, the one who can vaguely suppress the "Volkswagen Group" in terms of "momentum", must be the "Diamler Company".
Zhao Guoyang also saw some introductions in a magazine before, the middle-aged man in the middle - Thomas Ryan, president of "Daimler Company".
Zhao Guoyang's memory naturally would not go wrong. When the middle-aged man was led to the area where his company was located by the staff, the three big men of the "Volkswagen Group" had already stood up to say hello to him.
"Hi, Mr. Ryan! Meet again!" Thomas was speaking.
"Uh, it turns out it's Mr. Thomas." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Yang Sen who was standing aside.
"Mr. Yang Sen is here too, so lucky to have it!"
Yang Sen is a technical background and is not his strength in words.
After asking about this CEO Ryan, he stood by silently and listened to Thomas talking to the other party.
"Mr. Ryan, you must be sure that you have personally taken charge of Daimler today? Please show your mercy later!" Thomas said happily.
"Mr. Thomas is too modest. In terms of small and medium-sized models, there are many places where our Daimler Company wants to learn from your Volkswagen Group. This time, if we can successfully bid for the shares of "Skoda Automobile Company", we will definitely organize personnel to go to your company to learn and ask for advice in the future..."
Although Ryan's words were polite, the strong confidence in them made people feel a little breathless.
After all, Thomas is just the vice president of the "Volkswagen Group". Faced with the toughness of the boss of the "Daimler Company", his momentum is still much worse.
After Ryan made his statement, he could only smile and said, "Haha, Mr. Ryan, our Volkswagen Group also favors some of the manufacturing processes and technologies of Skoda. So, we can only see the truth at hand..."
"Okay, let's wait and see!" Ryan responded, then passed by the people from the "Volkswagen Group" and sat in his seat.
Ryan and Thomas represent the two giants, "Daimler" and "Volkswagen", and their conversations naturally attracted the attention of the audience.
After Zhao Guoyang translated the conversation between the two to Mao Zhichun and Wu Jianlong, the two chairman's faces looked a little bad.
Obviously, Ryan's tough attitude towards winning the "Skoda" shares made these two big men feel a little nervous.
On the other hand, the leaders of the three delegations, Du Yitao, Sun Zhi and Li Ru, were also somewhat nervous about this.
Looking at the fear on the faces of the big guys on his side, although Zhao Guoyang was a little enlightened, he could not 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 attendees from other automobile companies also entered the venue.
The American "Ford Group", France's "signature company", and the Apennines' "Fiat Automobile United" and other giants have appeared one by one.
At 9:30, the last representative of the company also entered the conference room.
Needless to say, he is naturally Zhao Guoyang’s partner Kim Soo-joo and her “Daewoo Group”.
Because he had communicated with Zhao Guoyang before, Kim Soo-joo had no hope for this "merger and acquisition".
Coupled with the unique character of South Koreans, it is not difficult to understand when they come to the conference site with a little bit.
