Chapter 557 Thomas' Temptation
"Researcher Zhao, are you saying that your newly established automobile company in China, also needs to participate in this 'Skoda Automobile Company' shareholding battle?"
In the rest area, after hearing Zhao Guoyang's ambitions, Thomas couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang looked at Thomas very seriously and said, "That's right, Mr. Thomas, our "Huaxia Automobile Group" is fully prepared for this merger and acquisition."
"Although our company has little experience compared to automobile manufacturing giants like Volkswagen Group, Daimler Group, and Daewoo Group, we are not bad at all in terms of capital and manpower..."
"Uh, that's right. In terms of human resources, if you are here, you will definitely not be much shorter than that..." Thomas was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly.
Although Yang Sen, who was standing by, was also surprised by Zhao Guoyang's narrative, what he was more concerned about was what position Zhao Guoyang held in this "Huaxia Automobile Group Company".
So he turned his head and said to Zhao Guoyang inquiring, "Researcher Zhao, Mr. Mao and Mr. Wu are the chief and vice presidents of your company, we all know this."
"Just, I don't know what position you are in this company now?"
After hearing the boss' question, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Mr. Yang Sen, I am currently in the 'Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation' and I am holding the position of technical director. As for the company's technical aspects, will there be any personnel changes in the future? That's not me who can control it..."
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Jeffries, who had not spoken beside him, smiled and raised his arms and said, "Researcher Zhao, you are too modest."
"At your level, even if you come to our 'Volkswagen Latin America', I promise to let Aiton stand aside, haha..."
The "Aiton" mentioned by Jeffries is naturally the big guy in charge of product development of their "Volkswagen Latin American Automobile".
After Yang Sen and Jeffries chatted with Zhao Guoyang for a while, Thomas began to test.
This big boss was obviously quite afraid of Zhao Guoyang. Even if the other party joined a newly established automobile company, he would not dare to neglect the slightest.
"Haha, Researcher Zhao, we are friends, I want to discuss the share transfer of 'Skoda Automobile Company' with you. I don't know what you think?"
Of course, Zhao Guoyang was desperate for this, so he nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Thomas has any questions, please ask him."
"Speaking of this, the two presidents of our 'Huaxia Automobile Group' have a deep relationship with you 'Volkswagen Group'. Although this acquisition incident was a competitive relationship, we were still the best partners after leaving Prague, aren't we?"
"Of course, I completely agree with Researcher Zhao's words!"
Thomas swallowed and thought, "Researcher Zhao, the first question is, I want to know. This time, how did you, Huaxia Automobile Group, learn that Skoda is going to transfer shares?"
Speaking of this, Thomas paused for a moment before continuing to speak: "As far as I know, Mr. Larson of 'Skoda Automobile Company' should not have sent an invitation to your Chinese auto companies, right?"
Thomas's question is a sharp hit.
His implication is very clear, that is, you "Huaxia Automobile Group" are not qualified to be invited by "Skoda". How could you suddenly appear here?
Of course, Zhao Guoyang would not answer stupidly about this boss's question, saying that all this was speculated based on the absence of Jeffries among the visitors from "Volkswagen Latin America".
He shrugged and said, "I am not very clear about the specific situation of the invitation from 'Skoda Company'. However, it should be inseparable from the friendly relations between China and Czechoslovakia, right?"
After Zhao Guoyang said this, the three bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" exchanged glances with each other and nodded secretly.
Indeed, at present, there is only one possibility.
Thomas pondered for a moment, then started to speak: "Researcher Zhao, we are very convinced of your theoretical level in automotive technology, your attainments in vehicle appearance design, and your foresight in automotive development..."
When Thomas said this, his face was very sincere, which made the people of the "Dayu Group" look at each other in a while.
Jin Xiuzhu looked at Zhao Guoyang with a look of intertwined complex emotions, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Yes, she discovered Zhao Guoyang's uniqueness a long time ago, and after the next few contacts, she was gradually attracted by his abilities.
However, Jin Xiuzhu never expected that Zhao Guoyang's level would be so high.
The opposite Mr. Thomas is one of the most numerous figures in the "Volkswagen Group" besides the bosses behind the board of directors.
But it was such a "BOSS"-level figure in the automotive industry who actually had such a high evaluation of Zhao Guoyang, which shocked Jin Xiuzhu.
Compared to the shock of Kim Soo-joo and the people of "Daewoo Group", Jeffries, the other two bigwigs of "Volkswagen Group", was much more calm.
Both of them had in-depth contact with Zhao Guoyang and had a good understanding of his abilities.
There is no doubt that President Thomas's evaluation of this young man now has no problem at all.
Just as everyone in the venue was thinking about their own thoughts, Thomas's voice continued to make its way.
"Just researcher Zhao just said that we may have competition in the acquisition of 'Skoda Automobile Company', but the relationship between our two sides should still be friendly. I partially agree with your view!"
After President Thomas said this, a low cry sounded in the rest area.
No one knows what this boss meant, and his eyes looked at him were full of doubt.
However, after saying "uh", Zhao Guoyang blinked his eyes and looked at Thomas and said, "I don't know what Mr. Thomas doesn't agree with my statement?"
Thomas laughed and said, "It's not that he disagrees, but that he thinks that Researcher Zhao, you underestimate our friendship too much!"
Before Zhao Guoyang could contact him, the boss continued to whistle: "Tell me this way, Researcher Zhao. We, the Volkswagen Group, are still very confident in winning the shares of 'Skoda Automobile Company'."
"In fact, Researcher Zhao, you must think so, right? But no matter what the final result of this matter is, I believe that we will never cause any unhappiness because of this matter."
After Thomas finished speaking, Jeffries echoed: "Yes, Researcher Zhao. In fact, aren't every car company that comes to Prague confident that it can succeed?"
Turning to look at Kim Soo-joo, Jeffries showed a kind smile and said, "It's like Miss Kim, the same idea, right?"
"Uh, yes! Our Daewoo Group is very confident about this!"
When Kim Soo-joo said this, she had already scolded Jeffries in her heart.
She and Zhao Guoyang had already discussed it before. This time, "Dayu Group" only assisted the acquisition of shares of "Skoda Automobile Company" and would never participate.
Although he must have settled this way, Kim Soo-joo must have some regret in her heart.
Now that Jeffries doesn't open the pot, Kim Soo-joo naturally secretly complains to him.
After Thomas and Jeffries made their case, Zhao Guoyang was delighted.
It seems that these two bigwigs have no intention of targeting themselves and "Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation", so the following things will be much easier.
"What Mr. Thomas and Mr. Jeffries said makes sense! In fact, when our Huaxia Automobile Group Company held a meeting, we did not include Volkswagen Group as our competitors."
Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said, "After all, there are too many manufacturers participating in the competition this time. Our newly established company is definitely not the primary target for others..."
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Jin Xiuzhu immediately nodded in cooperation and said, "My idea coincides with Mr. Zhao."
"The strength of our 'Daewoo Group' is more cost-effective than making enemies everywhere..."
After Kim Soo-joo said this, she immediately expressed her attitude.
That is to say, "Dayu Group" will not work too hard for this competition, just let it go.
In the eyes of the three bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group", the reason why this young lady made such a statement was to some extent that she must have been influenced by Zhao Guoyang in this regard.
Thinking that this researcher Zhao could actually influence the decision of a "powerful person" like Jin Xiuzhu, Thomas's expression became a little more serious.
Feeling that the temperature was almost done, Zhao Guoyang said "Hum": "Ms. Xiuzhu is saying. To be honest, I personally made a prediction about the final result of this share transfer of 'Skoda Automobile Company'..."
"Really? I haven't heard from Guoyang before! Tell us quickly!" Jin Xiuzhu said with hope.
"Uh...it's fine to talk about it. But make a statement in advance. This prediction is just my 'one-one word' and has no intention of targeting other companies!"
As soon as Zhao Guoyang said this, Thomas's eyes lit up.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "It doesn't matter, Researcher Zhao has agreed. Even if you regard our "Volkswagen Group" as the biggest imaginary enemy, it's no big deal!"
