Sitting on the plane to the capital, looking at Teacher Zhang beside him who was smiling and listening to his speech, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher Zhang, do you still remember our previous trip to Samba? Time passed so quickly, and more than half a year has passed in a flash..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yufang couldn't help but recall the situation when she and Mayor Huang and the "Songqi Group" went to Samba Country.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, when we were on the plane, I seemed to joke that if you have the opportunity to visit abroad in the future, you will definitely be invited to join us! Because, your foreign language level is really amazing, and you are proficient in too many foreign language subjects..."

Zhang Yufang looked at Zhao Guoyang with admiration.

Indeed, Zhang Yufang was originally with her as a "Portuguese translator" during the last trip to Samba.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Guoyang, a "special researcher" with a technical background, was not inferior to himself in terms of "Portuguese language level".

Even in the translation of some professional nouns, it is more accurate than a professional.

Although Zhang Yufang is gentle and has never had the intention to compete with others, this result still surprised her a little.

Afterwards, during his trip to Samba, Zhao Guoyang communicated with several bigwigs from Volkswagen Latin American Automobile Company in English and Germanic, and his foreign language proficiency was simply amazing.

Looking back now, Zhang Yufang felt a little incredible.

After hearing Zhang Yufang's feelings, Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said disregardly: "Foreign languages ​​are actually somewhat similar to each other. Just like Teacher Zhang, if you have a good foundation in Portuguese, it will be much easier to learn Spanish on the Iberian Peninsula."

"In addition, French and Apennines also have a lot in common. So, I really don't think there is anything to be proud of in this regard..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufang looked at Zhao Guoyang deeply, and seemed to have never expected that this young boss who has always been very strong has such a humble side.

After chatting about foreign languages, Zhao Guoyang turned to the topic: "Teacher Zhang, you must be prepared for hard work for this 'trip to Africa'."

"Although the friendship between our China and African countries has always been long-lasting, to be fair, the material living conditions there are still a little worse."

"It can be said that except for South Africa, which is still economically developed, the entire African continent is almost below the global poverty line. Food, water, medicine, and these essential daily necessities are all lacking there."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's solemn reminder, Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded and said, "Well, I have already investigated all the situations you mentioned before."

"Don't worry, when I get there, I promise to do a good job of protection. Try not to make yourself sick, it will become a burden to you!"

After hearing Zhang Yufang's pretending to be relaxed, Zhao Guoyang smiled: "Actually, I'm a little worried. The climate and environment of the African continent are actually more livable than most parts of our China."

"Especially in this season, going there to escape the summer heat is much cooler than staying in our China!"

After Zhao Guoyang finished saying this, Zhang Yufang looked confused.

She was stunned for a long time before she opened her mouth and asked, "No, Mr. Zhao. Do you think Africa is cooler than ours? How is this possible?"

Seeing Zhang Yufang's surprised look, Zhao Guoyang thought of the news that Africans saw on the Internet about heat stroke in China before he was reborn.

He smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, do you think I am teasing you? Actually, it's true!"

"Why are we hotter than Africa in summer? It's simple because the degree of urbanization is higher than that of African brothers."

Zhao Guoyang shrugged and explained: "Teacher Zhang, you should know that in cities, especially in big cities like Songjiang, residents' lives, factory production and transportation will generate huge heat."

"In addition, the wind in the surrounding suburbs blows into the city under the influence of air convection, and the heat in the city is difficult to dissipate, which forms a heat island effect. When people are in the city, they feel like they are staying in a huge hot pot."

"In Africa, most of them are vast plains. Although the sun is very strong, there is wind everywhere, which easily dissipates heat. In places where the sun cannot shine, the temperature is not that high!"

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment, then opened his voice and said, "In addition, the African continent spans north and south of the equator, and the latitudes it spans are still very wide, from north to south of the Tropic of Cancer to south of the Tropic of Cancer."

"Where are several types of climates such as tropical rainforest climates near the equator, savanna climates distributed on both sides of the north and south, and subtropical and tropical desert climates in North and West Africa."

"So, except for the desert climate in the area near the Sahara, the rest of the areas are not as hot as we imagined."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Zhang Yufang finally understood.

She glanced at Zhao Guoyang with some admiration and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhao, you are not only skilled but also know a lot in humanities and geography. I think, even if you go to our Zhendan University, you can become a lecturer in this field."

Zhao Guoyang laughed and said, "I dare not brag about this, I just read some from books and magazines."

After listening to Zhao Guoyang explaining the geographical environment of Africa for a while, Zhang Yufang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, do you have any specific plans for this 'trip to Africa'?"

"Specific plan?" Zhao Guoyang was stunned when he heard this.

Turning his head and looking at the pointing smile on Zhang Yufang's face, he immediately understood: I think this teacher Zhang wants to ask him what plans he has for the products of the two companies under his command.

After understanding this, Zhao Guoyang shrugged without hesitation: "There is really no specific plan, so be adaptable. In short, I am very confident in the several products we brought this time!"

Zhang Yufang nodded in a vague way and said, "Mr. Zhao, I personally feel that there is no problem with this 'sms-gkt-md series mine hoist' from SMS Company."

"After all, this mine hoist has been unanimously recognized in the domestic market. It is also well received in the Samba and Latin American markets."

"In addition to the recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronics Industry, this mine hoist opens the African market, and I think there is no doubt about it!"

Zhao Guoyang did not agree with Zhang Yufang's judgment.

He touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "It's true in theory, but we can't be too optimistic. After all, the African continent is adjacent to Europe, the center of world industry. There, there must be engineering machinery products from developed European countries."

"Although the performance of our 'sms-gkt-md series' mine hoist can be regarded as the first-class in China. In some technologies such as electronic control systems, it has even reached the world's advanced level. However, in terms of overall manufacturing process and stability, we are still not as good as the world's first-class level for the time being."

"Whether it is the kb500 produced by the American Caterpillar Company or the ec460 produced by the Volvo Construction Equipment Company, it must be above us in terms of stability."

Zhao Guoyang said with a bright look: "In addition, English-based Jessebo Company and German-based Liebherr also have several world-class mine hoists."

"With so many competitors, we can't relax at all."

After Zhao Guoyang said this, Zhang Yufang became more confident in him.

Her idea is very simple, as the saying goes, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated." Since Mr. Zhao is so familiar with the situation of his competitors, it means that he has already made a complete plan.

Although the mine hoist produced by "SMS Company" certainly does not reach the world-class level, in Mr. Zhao's own statement, it is completely above any similar product in terms of cost-effectiveness.

This can be seen from the fact that this series of gkt-md1.5x2 can surpass the Bangzi Guo Hyundai Heavy Industry's product in the domestic market.

Of course, the mine hoist of "Hyundai Heavy Industry" is incomparable to world-class engineering machinery brands such as "Caterpillar" and "Jessebo".

But no matter what, Zhang Yufang is always full of confidence in her young boss.

Zhao Guoyang did not notice Zhang Yufang's trusted look at him. He was rubbing the newly grown stubble on his chin and muttering to himself.

"Compared with the competition between this 'mine hoist' series and its competitors, I care more about the promotion of 'small excavators' in the African market!"

When Zhang Yufang heard this, she was surprised.

She blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhao, why are you so concerned about our 'small excavator'?"

"In fact, even if this product does not go abroad and just supplies "Beijing Sanjian" it is enough to make a lot of money, right?"

After being interrupted by Zhang Yufang's voice, Zhao Guoyang smiled and explained: "Teacher Zhang, what you said is indeed correct. We decided to build this product at the beginning, which was originally the reason for the "Three Constructions of Beijing City".

"And, it's not just the 'Three Constructions of Beijing'. I dare say that as long as our 'small excavator' can follow the process of this sample, the sales volume will definitely not be much different!"

"But, just selling well in China is not really something to be proud of? If we want to further increase the product competitiveness of our 'sms company', going abroad is an inevitable choice."

Zhao Guoyang said earnestly: "The African continent is a potential huge market and the focus of competition among major engineering machinery manufacturing companies in the world."

"If our 'small excavator' can gain certain recognition in this market, whether it is soil shoveling and transportation machinery, lifting machinery, compacting machinery, concrete machinery, our 'sms' brand will occupy a place..."
