King of Industry

The weather in early September was still hot, and the surface temperature at the Capital Airport was as high as forty-two degrees.

In such hot and dry weather, people's breathing is faster than usual.

A row of black red flag cars were parked neatly at a corner of the airport, as if they were waiting for someone.

People with discerning eyes and insight can see this posture and know that it must be a convoy welcoming some important person or important group.

Mr. Li, wasn't the time that Guoyang told you before ten o'clock in the morning? Why hasn't it arrived yet?

In the middle of a red flag, Yao Gang looked anxiously at Li Kejian beside him and said.

Li Kejian obviously didn't understand the situation, so he could only shake his head slowly, expressing that he didn't know either.

The object of these two bosses picking up the plane today is naturally Zhao Guoyang's Huaxia-African Trade and Investment Promotion Group.

Originally, it was impossible for a foreign affairs delegation at the official level to return to Beijing, and it was impossible to bother the two big figures, Mr. Li and Minister Yao Gang.

But the achievements made by the delegation this time are really dazzling, exceeding the trade volume requested by the previous leaders by 500%.

Such an impressive achievement really made the bigwigs in the capital a little restless.

After some hesitation, Mr. Li came to greet him in person, relying on the pretext that he was Zhao Guoyang's recommender.

As for Yao Gang, since he is the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, he came here to meet his subordinates as he should, and it will not cause too much sensation.

These two leaders can be said to know Zhao Guoyang well.

Zhao Guoyang's several major contributions to the country are inseparable from the support and help of these two big men.

When Zhao Guoyang was appointed as the deputy head of the delegation, Yao Gang had full confidence in him.

But no matter how optimistic he was, he never expected that Zhao Guoyang would make such a big noise. Not only did he get an order worth nearly ten million dollars, but he also reached cooperation intentions with several industrial giants.

According to Director Bao Anjun's conservative estimate, the two or three cooperation agreements reached by Zhao Guoyang can bring tens of millions of taxes to the country.

This is not counting the intangible improvement he has brought to the country in terms of construction machinery and shipbuilding manufacturing technology.

Of course, both the JCB Company and the Nautick Shipbuilding Company and Zhao Guoyang also reached cooperation intentions, and no formal contract was signed.

After all, the two companies on the other side have not seen the production and research capabilities of Zhao Guoyang's two companies and a research institute with their own eyes, so they cannot directly offer a contract.

However, Li Kejian and Yao Gang firmly believed that as long as this researcher Zhao was given a few months, he would definitely be able to make his factory and research institute more impressive, and make those foreigners feel underwhelmed.

Old Li, Leader Yao, it seems that Researcher Zhao and his plane are coming!

On the front co-pilot, Xia Yunfei reminded softly.

After hearing this, Li Kejian and Yao Gang quickly stopped talking and looked up at the same time.

It's just a Boeing 737 aircraft, slowly descending from a few hundred meters in the air.

...

After the plane landed, the door of the Red Flag had already been opened, and the people inside stood in a row, looking at the plane slowly braking and taxiing expectantly.

When Bao Anjun, Zhao Guoyang, Zhang Zheke and other delegation members walked down slowly, they were already surrounded by crowds.

Thank you, Comrade An Jun!

Li Kejian, who was ranked first, first shook hands with Bao Anjun, the head of the delegation.

Mr. Li, you are too serious, I should do it! Bao Anjun naturally knew Mr. Li, so he hurriedly said humbly.

After Bao Anjun, it was Zhao Guoyang's turn.

Looking at the young man in front of him who seemed to be a little tanned, a relieved smile appeared on Li Kejian's face.

Guoyang, you have worked hard this trip!

Holding Zhao Guoyang's hand, the smile on Li Kejian's face brightened.

Zhao Guoyang smiled reservedly, and called Old Li, but didn't explain much.

A senior like Mr. Li, who is like a teacher, has nothing to explain modestly. The other party knows his own ability best.

Li Kejian reluctantly let go of Li Qingyun's hand, and Yao Gang next to him had already stuck it up.

Haha, Guoyang, you've won a big victory this time, and you've helped me gain a lot of face. It's not in vain that I recommend you to be the deputy head!

Hearing Leader Yao's joking words, Zhao Guoyang was speechless for a while.

He has dealt with Yao Gang several times. This boss looks carefree, but in fact he has very strong work ability and level.

Ordinary people really can't get into the eyes of this person.

After the brief but warm welcome ceremony, the delegation followed everyone into the car and went to the Ministry of Foreign Trade for a meeting.

Because they were cadres of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke naturally got into Yao Gang's car.

As for Zhao Guoyang, Mr. Li had already given him a wink and obediently got into his car.

There were no other people around making noise, so Li Kejian could finally ask himself about this year-end date.

He looked at Zhao Guoyang cheerfully and said, Guoyang, this trip to Africa with you and the delegation can be said to be a big surprise for the leaders.

Since our country's reform and opening up in the 1980s, your trade and investment promotion group has won the most orders and the best quality. It is very exciting!

After Zhao Guoyang heard the words, he hurriedly said humbly: It's all luck, coupled with Director Bao's excellent leadership and everyone's joint efforts, this has achieved the current results...

Haha, Guoyang, I told you not to be modest!

Li Kejian laughed heartily and said, This time, Bao Anjun has reported all the itineraries of your team to Yao Gang.

There is no doubt that you, the deputy head, are definitely the team's number one hero!

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't say anything more, lest Mr. Li feel that he was hypocritical.

After a few words of praise to Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian changed the topic to specific events.

Naturally, there were two things that touched this big guy the most, one was the cooperation with the JCB Company and the other was the cooperation with the South African Nautick Shipbuilding Company.

Staring seriously at Zhao Guoyang's eyes, Mr. Li slowly said: Guoyang, this time, you can make a big show at the 'West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition' under the condition that the conditions are not favorable. It's a rare thing to shine and get the attention of JCB.

It's just that 'JCB' has a great reputation, even if you can impress the head of the technology research and development department with your advanced technology ideas. But if your 'SMS company' can't bring people's ideas when they visit later. What you want is not possible!

How about it? Do you have any plans for how the 'SMS company' should develop and operate in the future to meet people's basic requirements?

Mr. Li's inquiry was naturally a manifestation of his concern for himself, which Zhao Guoyang knew very well.

In fact, the reason why Mr. Clement is willing to cooperate with him is not so much how amazing his own products are, but because one or two of them are special enough.

Therefore, after reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with Clement, Zhao Guoyang already had plans to further strengthen SMS Company in patent development after he returned to China.

In addition, in terms of new product development, Zhao Guoyang does not want to expand for the time being, except for cranes, traction machinery and other equipment agreed with Nautick Company.

After all, the current scientific research strength of SMS Company is still a little weak. I can't always rush to the front line and help Zhao Siyan and the others solve all technical problems.

After telling Mr. Li about his idea, Li Kejian stroked his beard and nodded in approval.

Well, Guoyang, you have a good idea. Soldiers are more valuable than many. Since your SMS company has limited scientific research capabilities, you might as well focus on making a few new products at hand first.

You and the 'JCB Company' have agreed to hold a formal meeting in two months, right?

Zhao Guoyang gave a huh, nodded and said, That's right, two months later, if there is no accident, Clement will bring a delegation over to inspect the production and manufacturing of our 'SMS Company' on the spot. ability.

Well, in two months, it's really a little tight to come up with one or two decent products. How about it, do you need some help from personnel?

Hearing Mr. Li's words, Zhao Guoyang was overjoyed.

However, he quickly said: Old Li, I'm not too worried about the construction machinery of 'SMS Company'. After all, we only need to produce one or two new products, so it's not a big problem.

Besides, I have selected a few talented students from Mr. Ji's students to stay in our company. For the time being, it should be stable!

Haha, you poached away several of Lao Ji's proud disciples with ease, so you are not afraid that he will ask you for someone! Li Kejian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Zhao Guoyang scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, There is no way. Talent is very important for the development of an enterprise.

Mr. Ji, I can only ask Mr. Li to say a few more good words for me!

After talking about the future concept of SMS Company, Zhao Guoyang said seriously: Mr. Li, compared with the situation of 'SMS Company', I need your help even more in cooperation with 'Nautick Shipbuilding Company'. !

Oh? Come and listen to me!

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Li Kejian also slowly put away his smile.

Zhao Guoyang talked about the shortage of professional talents in yacht design and maintenance in China, and then talked about the lack of people in his ship industry-special materials research institute.

Finally he said: Mr. Li, I think so. Do you think it is possible to offer the course 'Yacht Design and Maintenance' in several domestic universities involved in the shipbuilding industry as soon as possible?

I think, only by solving the problem of rare talents from the source, can our country occupy the commanding heights in the yacht manufacturing industry...

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's begging, Li Kejian's eyes gradually brightened.
