Sitting in the chairman's office on the top floor of "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company", Zhao Guoyang has rarely had time to enjoy the scenery outside.

The Bund is across the river, and the coastline is to the east. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see the scenery of the river and the sea at a glance.

It has been more than ten days since I returned from the Beijing City after the metallurgical work conference, and New Year's Day has long passed.

In a blink of an eye, it is time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

In the past ten days, Zhao Guoyang has not returned to Hongda Machinery Factory.

Because Director Mu knew about his situation, of course he would not urge him. He just told him that he would try his best to come back before the Spring Festival and discuss the factory's restructuring.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang agreed to this.

After the previous metallurgical work conference, Zhao Guoyang has relisted the "Shipbuilding Industry-Special Materials" Research Institute under "Xingtai International".

Now this research institute has been listed as several ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, the State Administration of Oceanography, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, etc.

This means that Zhao Guoyang's research institute can receive full support from these ministries and commissions in the future.

In addition, Minister Chen from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry also promised him that in the future, his research institute will be given priority to select outstanding talents from universities directly under the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

This promise is actually more important to Zhao Guoyang.

You should know that some heavyweight metallurgy colleges in China are not just "metallurgy majors".

Some strong Metallurgical universities offer majors including machinery, electronics, radio and other engineering majors.

With the "golden signboard" of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, Zhao Guoyang believes that in the future, he and the institute will no longer have to worry about recruiting people.

The knock on the door interrupted Zhao Guoyang's thoughts. He calmed down and said aloud: "Please come in!"

The person who came in was Zhang Yufang. She has basically established herself as the second-in-command of "Xingtai International". Everyone, including returnees like Wang Zecheng and Xie Yiman, respects her very much.

"Mr. Zhao, several graduates from McGill University in Canada have arrived. Do you want to take a look?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang said "Ah": "It's coming so soon? Then we must go over and take a look. Are those graduate students going to work for a long time in our "Xingtai International" or respect it!"

The graduate student at McGill University that Zhang Yufang mentioned was the one who met several students who were engaged in the "unmanned car" program during his "tour to North America".

When Zhao Guoyang met them, these students were seeking financial assistance for their projects.

Zhao Guoyang, who had a keen eye for people, caught the creativity of these young people at first sight, directly invested in full to fund their research on this project, and promised to open a special "research institute" for them in China.

Originally, among these students, Ovilia and Emma wanted to give up their studies directly and follow Zhao Guoyang to China to create a new era.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Guoyang still thought it was better not to hurry.

After all, it is not worth giving up halfway through school for only one or two years.

What's more, the "Shipbuilding Industry-Special Materials" Research Institute on "Xingtai International" has not yet been established, so it was a bit too ostentatious and urgent to start a "New Technology Research Institute of Automobile and Motor Vehicles" first.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guoyang made an appointment with them for a year and a half later, he met in Songjiang City, China and officially recruited them into his company.

Now, the agreed time between the two parties has come.

After chatting with Zhang Yufang for a few words, she heard that six students were waiting at the reception desk downstairs. Zhao Guoyang stood up and waved his hand and said, "Okay, Teacher Zhang, let's go over and welcome our company's second 'research team'!"

Of course, Zhang Yufang was very clear about what happened in Canada, after all, she also accompanied Zhao Guoyang throughout the process.

Just now, the students Ovilia, Emma, ​​Isabella, Noah, Mason, Benjamin and others were all a little nervous when asked by several strange faces of "Xingtai International".

Later, when they met Zhang Yufang, these people felt very close.

Several girls even pulled her to ask this and that, almost ruining Zhang Yufang's work.

Thinking of the scene when we first met, a smile rose from the corner of Zhang Yufang's mouth.

When she followed Zhao Guoyang out, she couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, are you really going to build another technical team? In this way, will our Xingtai International have to invest a lot of money again?"

Of course, Zhao Guoyang understood what Zhang Yufang meant.

This assistant chairman is worried that the company's funds are insufficient to support two large technical teams, for fear that they will be in a difficult situation, and in the end, both sides will not be able to do well.

The corners of his mouth were raised gently, and Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. Like the Institute of Shipbuilding Industry-Special Materials, our Institute of Automobile and Motor Vehicle New Technology is not a sole proprietorship."

"I have agreed with Chairman Mao of Songqi Group, Chairman Wu of FAW Group, and Chairman Wang of Jinling Automobile Group, Jiangnan Province that the research funds of our institute will be distributed evenly by the three of them!"

When Zhang Yufang heard this, she was a little confused.

She said "uh" and said suspiciously: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean is that we can create a new research institute without spending a penny on Xingtai International? This is... too exaggerated!"

Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said disregardly: "It's not an exaggeration at all! Teacher Zhang, you have to know that the skeleton of this team was built by our "Xingtai International", and Ovilia, Isabella and others are all technical personnel registered in our company."

"We provide technology and personnel, Chairman Mao and others provide funds, and the scientific research and technology obtained by both parties is a very cost-effective thing for Songqi Group and FAW Group."

After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Zhang Yufang immediately understood everything.

Obviously, because of his existence, both Mao Zhichun from Songqi Group and Wu Jianlong from FAW Group, must have trusted the research capabilities of this institute very much.

With the optimistic view of the future of this "research institute", there is nothing to hesitate to do about the three wealthy auto manufacturers, at the same time, inject capital into this "research institute" to win the future technical patent rights of the institute.

These bigwigs must have calculated that with Mr. Zhao’s current attainments in domestic automotive technology, their investment must be worth the money.

Maybe, the three auto companies have been making noise for a while for this investment share.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yufang looked at Zhao Guoyang's side face in front of him, and a smile of admiration appeared on her face.

Yes, although Mr. Zhao has not appeared in "Xingtai International" for much time, he may not have directed the people below to do much.

But everyone in the company knew one thing. This young and promising Mr. Zhao was the backbone that supported the company.

Without his existence, "Xingtai International" would not have had the current development momentum.

Just as Zhang Yufang was sighing, Zhao Guoyang turned his head to look at her and started to speak: "Well, by the way, Teacher Zhang. Huaxia Automobile Group Company will definitely be officially put into production before the New Year."

"I have some shares there and also serve as the director of the Technical R&D Department. The patent use rights of our institute are also included. If we count them, my shares will not be taken in vain..."

"I understand!" Zhang Yufang smiled and nodded repeatedly to respond.

When Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang arrived at the reception desk, the company's two administrative assistants, Song Meiting and Xiao Ling, were chatting with several Canadian students with a smile on their faces.

Everyone is about the same age, and they have a lot of common languages.

In addition, among the few students, only three girls were included, and Song Meiting and Xiao Ling were naturally happy to talk to them.

Seeing the arrival of his own boss through the glass, the two administrative assistants quickly reminded several students, and then stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Zhao, Assistant Zhang!"

Zhao Guoyang smiled and nodded to the two girls, then turned his gaze to the team he had accepted.

Compared with more than a year ago, the current team has lost its original childishness and has gradually become mature.

Isabella's hair was curled, Benjamin's beard was also kept, and everyone's image changed a lot.

"Ovilia, Isabella... welcome you!" Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang and I were waiting for this day, but we had been waiting for 500 days!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's kind words, several Canadian students felt very proud and smiled on their faces.

"It is our honor to be able to enter 'Xingtai International' and work under Mr. Zhao and Assistant Zhang!" Ovilia, the leader, said with a smile.

Foreigners sometimes take matters about face more seriously than Chinese people.

The so-called "peaceful sedan chairs are carried by everyone" is similar everywhere.

Zhao Guoyang came up and expressed his importance to these students, so they naturally reciprocate.

After some greetings, Zhao Guoyang reached out and made a "invitation" gesture and said, "It's still early to have dinner now. Teacher Zhang and I will take you to the guesthouse first and settle your accommodation problems."

"Then let's check the time again. Should we go to your workplace first or go to have a meal."
