After lunch at the Montreal City Government, Mark, director of the Montreal Industrial Bureau, brought the delegation to Bombardier Company to visit and study.

With the company of this important figure in the Montreal City Government, everyone was naturally treated very highly by the other party during this trip.

In the multimedia conference room of Bombardier, Bombardier Executive Chairman Pierre Ebola and several senior executives were having friendly and in-depth talks with Minister Kong Xianchao, Counselor Li Haoping, and the visiting China North American Economic and Industrial Exchange Inspection Team.

Among the Bombardier executives who are accompanying them are also heavyweights such as Dussel, President of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Group, Calderon, President of Bombardier Aerospace Group, Samuel Carter, President of Bombardier All-Terrain Vehicle Manufacturing Company.

Pierre Ebola warmly welcomed the arrival of the Chinese delegation.

After Mr. Pierre Ebola's speech, the head of the inspection team made the speech as usual.

After everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, Zhao Guoyang began to speak calmly.

"First of all, thank you Mr. Pierre Ebola and all the executives for giving us such extraordinary courtesy to the delegation, and I am really grateful!"

"The cooperation between Bombardier and our China can be traced back to 1954. At that time, your company provided nearly 3,000 refrigerated trucks, power vehicles, buses and dining trucks to our Ministry of Railways, which helped us solve a major problem in railway operations. We have always been deeply grateful for this!"

After Zhao Guoyang said this, several senior executives of Bombardier Company showed a look of relief on their faces.

Indeed, Bombardier has always been relatively open and friendly in its strategy toward China, and has spared no effort to help China in technical assistance.

Although China also gives money to many technology transfers, "there is no free lunch in the world". Bombardier has been able to maintain its own principles in the environment where most Western countries impose "technical blockade" on China, which is very valuable.

At the same time, it is also a place where Bombardier is proud of.

This time, Zhao Guoyang and his team will inspect the first stop of North American "all-terrain vehicle" manufacturers, and there are also important reasons for this.

After Zhao Guoyang said this, Dussel, president of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Group, responded with a smile.

He smiled and said, "Zhao is right! As a global leader in the field of railway transportation, our Bombardier Company has been very concerned and actively participating in the construction of China's urban rail transit for many years."

"And I promise that in the next few years, we will continue to transfer world-class technology and advanced management methods to your country. It is a great honor that we have not broken our original promises, and the cooperation between our two sides has been very smooth!"

Among Bombardier's four major businesses, the rail vehicle design and manufacturing business is its largest.

It includes many important projects such as railway train design and manufacturing, railway locomotive design and manufacturing, railway control equipment design and manufacturing, urban rail transit vehicles and equipment design and manufacturing, etc.

Dussel, president of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Group, is also one of the shareholders of Bombardier, and is no less than Pierre Ebola.

After hearing his explanation, Zhao Guoyang's smile became deeper.

"Mr. Dussel is right. Your company's technology transfer to our Chinese companies has been continuing and never stopped. Moreover, this transfer is a comprehensive, systematic transfer of advanced technology and management system, and is a continuous and synchronous transfer, not just providing products."

"This is also an important reason why we feel very kind to your company!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, several Bombardier executives were also a little surprised while being happy.

They never expected in advance that someone in this China delegation would be so familiar with the cooperation between Bombardier and China.

Being able to say such professional words is enough to prove the extraordinaryness of this young man.

Just as several Bombardier bosses were about to speak, Zhao Guoyang started to speak again.

"To be honest, Bombardier has greatly helped our China rail vehicle design and manufacturing, railway control equipment design and manufacturing, urban rail transit vehicles and equipment design and manufacturing."

"Our China has made rapid progress in these fields over the years, and your company has indeed made contributions that cannot be ignored."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang's words turned around: "In the past few decades, your company and our China have been adopting such a cooperation model and conducting friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation. However, this method seems far from enough now."

Hearing this, Executive Chairman Pierre Ebola was stunned.

However, this boss was still very calm. Although he was confused, his tone was still calm.

He smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Guoyang calmly and said, "Mr. Zhao's view is very novel and creative. If possible, please analyze it for us in detail!"

Zhao Guoyang nodded gently and said slowly: "Actually, this point of view is not difficult to understand."

"As the pace of reform and opening up in China gradually increases, Western countries' strategy of blocking our technology has gradually lost its market."

"In recent years, vehicle manufacturing companies, railway trains and related industrial design and manufacturing companies in many developed countries, including America, German, island countries, etc., have turned their attention to the huge market of China."

Zhao Guoyang looked up and looked at Pierre Ebola, and then said, "I have a data here. In the past three years, there have been 67 companies in the machinery manufacturing giants in developed Western countries who have invested in building factories or jointly built factories in China."

"And there are only a hundred companies in the world that can be called the world's machinery manufacturing giant, right?"

"Then what this "67" number means is self-evident? It means that the world's machinery manufacturing giants have turned their attention to our country and to our vibrant and unlimited potential behemoth!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's "blaming the world", the people on the China Expedition Team were all secretly shocked.

That's right, in everyone's opinion, China's development speed has indeed improved significantly over the years.

But isn’t it a bit exaggerating to put an adjective like “energetic and unlimited potential” on your own?

But this researcher Zhao was so good. After saying something big, his face was not red, which made people sigh that he was like a Buddha.

The reaction was different from the members of China. After listening to Zhao Guoyang's narrative, Pierre Ebola fell into deep thought.

It can be seen that this boss is really seriously analyzing Zhao Guoyang's statement. Moreover, he attaches great importance to it.

At this moment, Samuel Carter, president of Bombardier All-Terrain Car Manufacturing Company, spoke out.

He nodded to Zhao Guoyang, gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Zhao's understanding of these situations is amazing."

"It is indeed as you said, the giants in the international machinery manufacturing industry are paying more and more attention to your country. They are paying more and more attention to such a huge market as your country."

“But, IMHO.”

Samuel Carter said with a whole face, "Your country's basic industrial level is still at a very low level. Even if these international machinery manufacturing giants open branches in China, they will regard your country as a cheap processing base."

"To put it bluntly, what they value more is economic interests, not sincerely wanting to engage in long-term and win-win cooperation with your country!"

"This is completely incomparable to our Bombardier company's strategy toward China!"

After Samuel Carter's words were expressed, Zhao Guoyang secretly praised them.

Indeed, the helmsman of Bombardier's "all-terrain vehicle" industry is telling the truth.

Zhao Guoyang's evaluation of him increased a lot by being able to hear such direct and incisive words from him.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Samuel Carter is right! These manufacturing giants are currently investing in China, and to put it bluntly, they cannot escape the word "profit".

"However, even these giant companies are just looking for our cheap labor and huge market in China. However, their business in China has been expanded after all."

"If we develop for ten or twenty years according to the current situation, the new generation of Chinese people who have grown up may only know the manufacturing giants such as Volkswagen, Boeing, and McDonald, but not the name of your company..."

Zhao Guoyang's words hit the nail on the head, causing several Bombardier executives present to nod.

Indeed, Bombardier can continue to cooperate with China as tepidly as before.

However, in the context of other manufacturing giants scrambling to expand their investment, Bombardier's influence in China is undoubtedly going to go downhill.

More importantly, Bombardier has many main industries, and its competitors are far from being as simple as three or five.

The world's vehicle manufacturing giants, railway track design and manufacturing giants, and aerospace industry giants are all competitors of Bombardier.

In this case, if Bombardier does not change their China strategy, the consequences will be obvious.

After a silence in the conference room, Pierre Ebola slowly started to speak.

The nominal leader of Bombardier said to Zhao Guoyang in a tone of advice: "Mr. Zhao, we are very grateful for the truth you just explained."
