Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After the Southeast Market discussion, Guo He and Zhang Yun saw that Huo Dong and Zhang Renkang still had other things to discuss, so they smiled tactfully.

"Mr. Huo, Renkang"

"We are both a little tired, let's go back to the hotel and rest first"

"Excuse me, both of you."

Huo Dong said with a smile

"You two, I'll arrange a car to pick you up tonight. I've prepared a banquet at Victoria Bay, and we'll have a few drinks then."

Zhang Renkang smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Zhang, let's meet in the evening."

After seeing them off, Huo Dong explained with a smile:

"It was Mr. Caldwell who was recommended to me by the Governor yesterday. He just said that he was very interested in you and wanted to talk to you about cooperation."

Zhang Renkang frowned and said

“Our current relationship with the Americans is not good.”

"Why would the vice president of Ford Group be interested in meeting me?"

"cooperate?"

"It's impossible for the Mesa people to develop the Mesa market and let us in, right?"

Huo Dong shook his head and explained

“The Governor didn’t say much either.”

"It's just that Caldwell was on a business trip in Hong Kong Island and heard that the mainland had established the Xinhua Automobile Group in Hong Kong Island and was very interested in it."

"I want to see you"

Zhang Renkang pondered

As the largest automobile manufacturing group and a major enterprise in the industrial manufacturing field in the United States, it has a great political influence on the United States.

Even many senior executives of Ford Group have experience in politics, so Zhang Renkang didn't believe that Caldwell came to talk to him on behalf of a company.

Could it be that Americans are now unable to suppress the anti-war wave at home and want to test the country's attitude towards the Southern battlefield?

But now it is 69. If the timeline is correct, the North will provoke a local conflict in the Ussuri River in two months at most. By then, the Americans will even inform the country about the mushroom cultivation plan in the North.

And cooperate with the domestic warning of equal retaliation against the North

From this perspective, the Americans have already shown some signs of difficulty in overcoming the cold winter and are in urgent need of seeking new support to share the cold wave pressure in Europe with them.

Then China is the natural ally of the Messas.

It is also because of this that the big and small balls triggered by sports in the following years pushed the two major countries in the world to restore diplomatic relations after 22 years and establish cooperation to resist the cold winter.

Could it be that Caldwell came here as a striker in the United States to test the situation?

Zhang Renkang said

"I guess Caldwell has certain political purposes. I need to consult with my country on whether to meet him or not."

"Before that, I wonder if Mr. Huo can meet with Caldwell and test his intentions."

Huo Dong nodded and said

"I can come forward, but I may not be able to find out Caldwell's true intentions."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Let Huo Ting go with you. Doesn't he want to know more about our Xinhua Automobile Group?"

"Then let him find out what level of cooperation Caldwell has brought to us."

"If after your meeting, he still decides not to see me"

"Then this Caldwell must have come with some voices from the country. We actually anticipated this situation when we established Xinhua Automobile Group in Hong Kong Island."

"The Americans will definitely not sit back and watch us slowly develop in Hong Kong Island. There will definitely be some tests that will follow."

"But the good thing is that there is no conflict of interest between the US and Saudi Arabia in China."

"In addition to theoretical differences and contradictions, we also have common pressure from the North"

“This creates the possibility of cooperation.”

"When you meet with Caldwell, you can express your attitude in this regard to him. Although it does not represent the official position, this is an indisputable fact."

Huo Dong nodded and said with a smile

"If we can end the hostile relationship with the United States and Saudi Arabia, it will be great for the development of the country."

“This will greatly facilitate our development and business cooperation around the world.”

Zhang Renkang shook his head and smiled

“Don’t be too optimistic.”

"The cooperation between the two parties will not happen so quickly. It will take at least three to five years of continuous exploration."

"The Mesas and Euros have not yet been completely awakened by the cold wave from the north."

"At least, in most situations and regions, Western power still has the upper hand"

“Unless the North puts more pressure on them.”

"Otherwise, they will not easily give up suppressing us."

"After all, the ideologies of the two sides mean that even if they cooperate, it is only a temporary choice."

"Of course, this period is also an excellent period of development for us."

"However, we still have to wait and see what the country thinks of it."

"I am only worried that this will not interrupt the pace of our Xinhua Automobile Group's overseas expansion for the time being."

Zhang Renkang was somewhat worried. After all, the Forest Clan and the Northerners still had considerable power in the country. They were the natural representatives of the North and the natural opponents of the country's westward orientation.

The pro-EU and reform factions have been hit hard in recent years and are a bit depressed. I don’t know if they can have a certain influence on the direction of the country at the moment.

But this historical opportunity comes at least ten years earlier than in the previous life. If we can seize it, China can even achieve a historic breakthrough at the turn of the new century. After all, the third industrial revolution has just started, and China has a sound industrial system. What it lacks is to catch up with the latest technological waves and compete for the foresight of the information age.

What Zhang Renkang is doing now is to take back the national destiny of the automobile industry system that originally belonged to the devil through forward-looking guidance and thorough domestic competition.

With a larger market, larger infrastructure, and more human resources than the Japanese, China can completely gain a greater advantage than the Japanese, that is, the domestic and foreign markets will be launched simultaneously to completely defeat the Japanese auto industry.

This is a huge industrial cake that affects tens of millions of people. If the Japanese lose this piece of cake, it will be very difficult for them to achieve economic strength.

By then, the Japanese will be completely reduced to a subsidiary of the United States and will no longer have the capital to compete for influence in Asia.

The country is not only expected to achieve national rejuvenation and integrity by relying on the balance between the West and the North, but can even try to take back Ryukyu and completely break the blockade of the island chain in the name of fighting the cold wave in the north.

Otherwise, why did Zhang Renkang go to such great lengths to seduce Guo He and Zhang Yun? If they could establish a Chinese power in the southeast that is larger than that of later generations, after the country completes its revival, the south will completely become a back garden and complete its recognition of the Chinese suzerain.

In this life, China will establish its own sphere of influence and fulfill its yearning for the ocean.

To this end, Zhang Renkang actually prefers to push the Americans to continue to fall in the rainforest for a few more years and increase the consumption of national strength. Otherwise, how can the country raise the price by then?
