Chapter 666 Canadian Aerospace Industry
"This... Researcher Zhao is talking about it. Quebec is indeed quite powerful in biopharmaceuticals..." After being questioned by Zhao Guoyang, Feng Yuejin blushed.
In fact, although Feng Yuejin is from an economic background, as China's economic counselor in Quebec, what he usually cares more about is the trade exchanges between China and Quebec, and the demands of some domestic companies and merchants invested in Quebec.
Feng Yuejin only has a rough understanding of the economic composition of Quebec itself, and is not as detailed as he imagined.
At this moment, Zhao Guoyang's detailed and in-depth analysis was obviously beyond Feng Yuejin's expectations, and he caught him off guard.
Seeing that Counselor Feng was already a little embarrassed, Zhao Guoyang did not intend to argue with him.
He smiled and continued, "I just told you about the location advantages of Quebec. Let's talk about the advantageous industries of Quebec!"
"The first is the biopharmaceutical industry I just mentioned. This is the pillar industry of Quebec and the traditional advantage industry of Quebec."
"In addition, the multimedia industry, optics and photonics industry, Quebec has great advantages!"
"The last thing we want to say is the focus of our inspection team's visit, that is, manufacturing! Among them, the 'aerospace industry' is represented!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang turned his attention to several deputy commanders on the inspection team.
"Whether it is Bombardier Aerospace, or CAE Electronics, including HP Canada, that we are going to visit under our inspection team, they are all giants in the international aerospace industry."
"Texron Bell Helicopter Company and Rolls Reus Canada are also well-known and ranked among the top 50 aerospace companies in the world."
"Captain Zhao, are you too strong? You can call the names of so many companies! I just want to ask, are there any things you don't know?" Wang Jintao said astonished.
Xu Guangyuan nodded repeatedly and replied: "That's right! Captain Zhao has done all the preliminary preparations for our inspection team. I really can't accept it!"
Although Ning Zhongxin was also surprised, he, who was relatively calm, just smiled at Zhao Guoyang with a reserved look, gave a thumbs up, and said nothing more.
Seeing Ning Zhongxin's actions, Zhao Guoyang sneered slightly.
You know, even in the entire Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, there are not many people who can get such recognition from Director Ning.
After several people from the inspection team made their statements separately, Consul General Kong Xianchao couldn't help but sigh: "It's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years! Researcher Zhao's understanding of North America and Quebec's economy is amazing. It's amazing, so amazing!"
Like Kong Xianchao, Pei Chunming and Li Haoping also praised Zhao Guoyang's performance.
If at the beginning, several leaders of the Consulate General had doubts about Zhao Guoyang, the young head of the delegation.
Then after his performance, such doubts no longer exist.
After the three leaders of the Consulate General spoke in turn, Feng Yuejin also spoke awkwardly.
In fact, although this economic counselor is a little arrogant, he is not an unreasonable person.
After understanding Zhao Guoyang's true level, he did not take it anymore. He sincerely apologized to Zhao Guoyang and sincerely hoped that Zhao Guoyang would also attend the Quebec foreign economic briefing tomorrow.
Feng Yuejin finally said: "Researcher Zhao, you will delay one day tomorrow. Let's go to this conference with us!"
"I can guarantee that if you say these analysis of the Quebec economy in the venue tomorrow, you will definitely make a hit!"
After hearing the sincere invitation from Counselor Feng, Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's still not necessary, Counselor Feng. What I said is our private discussion. If it is really put on the scene, it would be embarrassing!"
Everyone naturally understands what Zhao Guoyang means.
If he really said these words at the venue tomorrow, it would definitely cause others to question them.
People would say, you, the leader of the China Expedition Team, have such knowledge of the economy and industrial structure of a province in Canada, what are your goals and attempts?
In order to avoid such a situation, Zhao Guoyang will certainly not attend this meeting tomorrow.
Besides, there are many places to go to this trip to North America. If you don’t hurry up, the subsequent itinerary may become tense.
After Zhao Guoyang made his statement, several leaders of the Consulate General nodded secretly.
Zhao Guoyang's neither arrogant nor impatient nor impetuous mind was so clear-headed that Kong Xian praised them very much.
Industrial Counselor Li Haoping suddenly remembered something and asked: "Ah, by the way, Captain Zhao. You just said that the aerospace industry in Quebec is very developed. Can you explain it in detail to us? I am very interested in this regard."
After hearing Li Haoping's words, Zhao Guoyang instantly understood. He thought that the task assigned to him by Mr. Li was also prompted in advance.
Before leaving, Li Kejian not only encouraged Zhao Guoyang for a few words, but also assigned him an important task, which was to obtain more information about the Canadian aerospace industry.
If possible, it would be better to seek some cooperation.
Of course, Zhao Guoyang should do his best to Mr. Li's advice.
He did not hide this from the three deputy commanders, and Li Guangyuan and others, but it was obviously impossible to expect them to collect information about this.
Zhao Guoyang thought that he could only talk to Bombardier or the helmsman of another aerospace company by himself.
However, looking at Li Haoping's appearance now, it seems that he has some understanding of the aerospace industry.
With the full support of him, the "local snake", at least he has added an additional help in seeking dialogue with aerospace giants.
After understanding this, Zhao Guoyang no longer concealed it and explained some of the situations in the Canadian aerospace industry that he knew.
"The aerospace industry is one of Canada's economic pillar industries and has played an important role in the development of its country."
"From the design and manufacture of the first aircraft in our country in 1907, to the period of World War II, Canada designed and produced more than 16,000 military aircraft for the United States and England. Both in terms of quantity and quality, they are very considerable!"
"Because of its vast territory, Canadian aircraft were mainly used for agriculture and transportation and resource exploration in vast areas near the Arctic. Dogsleds and canoes, as the main means of transportation in remote areas, have gradually been replaced by aircraft..."
Speaking of this, Li Haoping nodded with a "hum" and said, "Researcher Zhao is right!"
"As far as I know, the Yukon region, the Northwest region, the Nunavut region, and the number of small agricultural and commercial aircraft is very large. In some areas, there is even an average of less than 70 or 80 people, and there is one aircraft..."
After hearing Li Haoping's addition, Zhao Guoyang nodded and echoed: "Counselor Li is right. The main means of transportation for these three areas near the polar regions in northern Canada is aircraft."
"Wow, Canada's aerospace industry is too developed, right? Even the United States does not have such a per capita comparison, right?" Huo Xiufen couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this.
Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hand to Huo Xiufen and said, "Huo Chu, is not that exaggerated. Although Canada's aerospace industry is developed, the reason why there is such a high per capita ratio is mainly because its population is really small."
"It's like the Nunavut, the largest special administrative region in Canada, has an area of 1.9 million square kilometers, but its population is only about 35,000."
"Another of these things is the Inuit people, which we usually call the Eskimo people. And these people who live traditional life rarely use planes..."
After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Indeed, there were only 35,000 people living in these 1.9 million square kilometers, which is too few.
No wonder the per capita number of aircraft in these three regions of Canada is so high.
Seeing everyone's silent nodding, Zhao Guoyang continued: "Although we can't look at some data one-sidedly, Canada's aerospace industry is still very developed."
"Among them, Quebec is the province with the most developed aerospace industry in Canada. The city of Montreal below is the only place in the world that can produce and manufacture all parts of an aircraft."
"According to some of the data I learned, just last year, in 1991, a city of Montreal's sales in the aerospace industry reached 5 billion Canadian dollars."
"What is this probably the concept? It is almost half of the GDP of Songjiang, the largest city in our country, last year!"
After hearing this, the members of the inspection team took a secret breath.
Indeed, in everyone's eyes, Songjiang City is already the largest and most comprehensive megacity in China.
But the industrial sales in a certain field in Montreal have already caught up with half of Songjiang, which is really a terrifying number.
It also indirectly proves the development of the welder and aerospace industry in Montreal and Quebec.
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, everyone calmed down from their shock for a long time.
After Li Haoping recovered from calmness, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Researcher Zhao, the aerospace industry level in Montreal is so high that there is no need to say more."
"What are the specific situations you know about the aerospace companies below it? Can you give me some suggestions?"
