The next morning, the delegation, accompanied by the Minister Kong Xianchao and Counselor Li Haoping, drove together to Montreal.

Montreal, also known as Montreal, is located on the island of Montreal in the St. Lawrence River in southwest of Quebec, Canada and its surrounding islands. It is the economic center and main port of Quebec, Canada, and is also the largest city in the province.

When the delegation arrived at the City of Montreal, Ms. Laura, the mayor, personally met them.

As the mayor of Quebec's largest city, Ms. Laura warmly welcomed Zhao Guoyang and their North American economic and industrial exchange inspection team.

During the talks between the two sides, Ms. Laura expressed several times to the Minister Kong Xianchao that she hoped that the delegation would stay in Montreal for two more days.

Because of the Montreal Fashion Festival, it will be held on the Academy Avenue of McGill University in the near future.

At that time, leading industrial designers and many high-end brands in the world will appear at this fashion festival.

Ms. Laura hopes that this friendly inspection team from China can appreciate and feel the style of this fashion festival up close.

After hearing Ms. Laura's warm invitation, Kong Xianchao cast inquiry eyes at Zhao Guoyang.

Indeed, although Kong Xianchao's level was higher than Zhao Guoyang, he could not control the itinerary of the inspection team.

Whether to stay in Montreal to participate in this fashion festival depends on what Zhao Guoyang means.

Ms. Laura is a smart person. When she saw Kong Xianchao's gaze, she understood that Zhao Guoyang had the final say in this matter.

Naturally, the mayor also glanced at Zhao Guoyang.

Seeing that the two people with the highest status in the audience focused on themselves, Zhao Guoyang felt helpless.

In fact, he personally wants to participate in this Montreal Fashion Festival.

After all, being able to learn more about some international high-end fashion brands will also be beneficial to the subsequent design of the "fashionbeauty" series of Rongguang Machinery Factory.

However, this time the tour to North America, the itinerary of the inspection team was too tense, so Zhao Guoyang hesitated a little.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Ms. Laura tentatively and said, "Mayor Laura, the Montreal Fashion Festival will only start on August 5th, right?"

"There are three days left, and I'm afraid that time may not be enough. Because our delegation reserves only two days in Quebec. Then, we will rush to Minnesota, America..."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Laura's face showed a relieved smile: "Captain Zhao, I didn't expect that you also know a lot about this fashion festival in Montreal."

"Yes, in the past three years, our fashion festival started on August 5th. But this year's situation is special, because we want to make way for the closing ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics, the fashion festival was held early on August 4th. That is, the day after tomorrow, the fashion festival will open."

"I think it would be time if your group was willing to stay for a little longer."

After Mayor Laura said this, Zhao Guoyang's thoughts became lively.

Indeed, if it was August 5th, it would definitely be too late.

After all, the delegation has contacted the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago and will arrive in Minnesota on August 5.

At that time, the Consulate General staff will be picked up at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport Airport in Minnesota.

But if the Fashion Festival opens on August 4th, after participating, you will definitely be able to catch up with it as long as you take a night flight.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang nodded slightly and smiled at Ms. Laura and said, "It is hard to refuse the kindness. Since time allows, our delegation must be at this fashion festival to enjoy it!"

Laura did not expect that the young Captain Zhao would make such a readily decision, which was a bit different from the caution of ordinary Chinese officials.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's answer, she smiled and nodded and said, "It's great that Captain Zhao and the distinguished guests of the inspection team are willing to enjoy the gifts! Looking back, I have someone give the VIP tickets for the Fashion Festival to Minister Kong, and Mr. Zhao and the other ones will be sent here!"

Kong Xianchao and Zhao Guoyang thanked the strong woman, and the atmosphere at the venue gradually became harmonious.

Next, the representatives of both sides talked about their views on bilateral trade between China and Canada.

Laura praised China's major policies on reform and opening up, and was very excited about the rapid growth of trade between Montreal and China.

On the inspection team, Xu Guangyuan from the Ministry of Foreign Trade talked about the importance of the Chinese government and the people in the country and trade with Canada.

Ning Zhongxin of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry also made a speech, talking about the Chinese machinery manufacturing industry and his high-level admiration and admiration for the relevant manufacturing enterprises in Montreal.

After the two finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang smiled and summarized: "Mayor Laura, our inspection team has always longed for the development of traditional industry in Montreal."

"The clothing, tobacco, food, textile and wood industries in Montreal are very prominent, while other industries, such as steel, rolling stock, machinery, chemistry, aircraft and electrical appliances, are also very advanced and developed, and occupy a very important position in the international community."

"Especially in vehicle manufacturing and aircraft, these are the focus of our inspection team's inspection..."

Hearing this, a smile from the bottom of Laura's heart appeared on her slightly loose face.

As the mayor of Montreal, Laura certainly knew how important these two industries in her city were.

It is no exaggeration to say that the profits created by the two industries of vehicle manufacturing and aircraft production have almost supported half of the Montreal economy.

Especially Bombardier, the largest company in the city, is a microcosm of the city's booming industry over the past 20 or 30 years.

At this time, when Zhao Guoyang mentioned these two industries incisively, Laura seemed to see a lot of orders coming to the most important enterprises in her city.

After trying hard to calm down, Laura looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Captain Zhao is right. Our city of Montreal is indeed at the forefront of the times in terms of vehicle manufacturing and aircraft."

"The most famous manufacturing company in our city, Bombardier, is the one who is in this field!"

After hearing Laura’s voluntary mention of Bombardier, Zhao Guoyang saved a lot of trouble.

He nodded repeatedly and expressed his approval: "Mayor Laura is right! In fact, our delegation's most wanted to visit during this trip to Montreal is Bombardier..."

Laura seemed not surprised at all about this, but just nodded with a smile: "It seems that Captain Zhao has made sufficient preparations before coming this time."

"Indeed, Bombardier, a company, almost represents the storefront of our city of Montreal. It would be a pity if your group did not have time to visit one or two during this trip!"

After hearing Laura's words, Zhao Guoyang climbed up the pole and said, "Yes, Ms. Laura. I don't know if it's convenient for Bombardier today. We want to go over and take a look!"

After Zhao Guoyang finished saying this, Laura was happy: "Captain Zhao is so polite. In fact, when Minister Kong called me yesterday, I had already made arrangements."

"After the welcome luncheon is over, I will ask Director Mark of the Municipal Bureau of Industry to accompany you to visit Bombardier!"

"As for Bombardier, I have already greeted their executive chairman Pierre Ebola. You can just go there directly, and he will personally receive all the distinguished guests!"

After Laura said this, Zhao Guoyang was delighted: The mayor Laura said hello, but it was indeed different. Even the executive chairman was dispatched.

Unlike family businesses in Western countries, after several changes, Bombardier is no longer under the control of the Bombardier family, but is composed of many shareholders of all sizes.

Its executive chairman, that is, the executive chairman of the board of directors, is the manager elected by these shareholders and the company's nominal supreme leader.

The executive chairman Pierre Ebola, perhaps his personal shares are not prominent among many shareholders.

However, his influence in Bombardier is far greater than that of the major shareholders who only participate in dividends and do not care about the company's operations.

If he could talk to this big man, perhaps the task assigned to him by Mr. Li would have some hope.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Guoyang said politely to Laura: "With Mr. Pierre Ebola personally receiving it, our trip will definitely be very smooth. Thank you very much, Mayor Laura!"

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Laura couldn't help but say in surprise: "Has Commander Zhao heard of Mr. Pierre Ebola?"

Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and nodded slightly, "Let's know a little bit! Mr. Pierre Ebola, who worked at Bombardier United Technologies for 18 years, began to serve as the head of the company's promotion and aerospace system business three years ago."

"Last year, I was officially appointed as the executive chairman by the company's board of directors..."

"To be honest, Pierre Ebola's technical leadership is very outstanding. His role as the executive chairman is a loss for Bombardier's technical department!" Zhao Guoyang shrugged.

Laura obviously didn't expect that the leader of the China Expedition Team would be so familiar with the situation of Bombardier, and her eyes were filled with a little shock.

As for the members of the Chinese delegation, they had long been accustomed to Researcher Zhao's omniscience and their expressions seemed very calm.
Chapter completed!
