In the office, Eddie Noble invited Zhao Guoyang and his group to the office and started chatting with them enthusiastically.

After a few greetings with Sun Jiadong, Noble smiled and looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Mr. Zhao has come from afar. Thank you for your hard work. I wonder if you are still adapting to the climate in South Africa, right?"

Zhao Guoyang smiled and shrugged, "It's pretty good. South Africa is a beautiful country, and the title of 'Rainbow Country' is well-known!"

Noble's smile became even worse when he heard this.

Seeing that the director seemed to continue to talk, Sun Jiadong couldn't help but coughed and said, "Mr. Noble, the last time he asked Davis to make an appointment with you was for your company's new 'yacht' project..."

After hearing this, Noble nodded unmovedly and said, "I understand what Mr. Sun means. Our Noble company's 'yacht project' has indeed attracted a lot of attention during this period."

"As of now, our company has received invitations from six or seven large companies such as Deschamps and Katrick to seek cooperation. However, the company still has concerns about how to launch this project, and it still needs to be considered carefully!"

After listening to Noble's story, Sun Jiadong became a little anxious.

If you want to talk about his "Zhenbang Steel Company", although it is a relatively large company in the Chinese business circle.

But compared with the large companies mentioned by Noble, the strength is definitely much worse.

If Nortic Company really seriously "thinks" it will definitely not be its turn.

However, Director Noble said this, so Sun Jiadong couldn't urge him any more.

After all, Noble is just one of the senior executives of Noble. Although he, the director of ship management project, has a strong say in this "yacht project" and it is impossible for him to have the final say alone.

Even if his "partner" Davis had a good relationship with him, the other party would not make any promises to himself in such a major event.

Just when Sun Jiadong was secretly anxious, his eyes accidentally fell on Zhao Guoyang who was calm beside him.

"Yes, isn't this researcher Zhao also intending to engage in ship manufacturing? With his attainment in industrial technology, if he is pulled up, he might be able to impress Director Noble. In that case, his "Zhenbang Steel Company" opportunity will come?"

Thinking of this, Sun Jiadong hurriedly said, "By the way, Director Noble, I forgot to introduce it to you in detail. This is Mr. Zhao Guoyang, who owns two large-scale engineering machinery and ship manufacturing enterprises in China."

"This time, he led a delegation to visit Africa, and he had the idea of ​​cooperating with African shipbuilding companies here."

After Sun Jiadong finished speaking, Noble became interested.

He nodded with interest and stared at Zhao Guoyang and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be so young and promising. So I can talk more about this. I wonder what types of ships your ship manufacturing company mainly manufactures?"

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Noble, my two companies have been engaged in engineering machinery before, and at present, they are only preparing for ship manufacturing."

"However, we already have specific implementation plans. The initial types of ships are probably deep-sea mining ships, and two or three types of engineering ships that complement each other."

After hearing this, Noble's eyes lit up: "Deep-sea mining ships? This is what our South African shipbuilding industry is best at..."

Zhao Guoyang nodded seriously when he heard this: "Yes, your country's deep-sea mining technology has always been at the world's leading level. This time, my team and I came here with the plan to seek cooperation."

The more Noble listened, the more interested he became. He immediately sat upright and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't you know if you have found a suitable partner company?"

"Well, not yet. However, before coming to your country, I have already inquired about it. The two companies, "Cape Town Shipyard," and "Smith Lane Ship Manufacturing Company," are our first choice for cooperation..."

When Noble heard the names of these two competing companies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he could directly say the names of these two companies. It seemed that Mr. Zhao in front of him really had the idea of ​​cooperating with South African companies in ship manufacturing.

After confirming this, Noble couldn't help swallowing and said, "Can you take the initiative to ask, Mr. Zhao, how much money is going to invest in the two or three projects at the beginning?"

"Uh... this is not accurate. It is estimated that the initial investment of 2 or 30 million US dollars cannot be escaped." Zhao Guoyang said calmly.

After he said this, Sun Jiadong's body shook over there.

You know, 20 to 30 million US dollars were an astronomical figure in the early 1990s.

Although Sun Jiadong has been operating in South Africa for three or five years, his several companies, combined, may not be able to reach this number of total assets.

But the researcher Zhao said it so easily, which was so shocking.

On the other hand, although Noble was not scared by this number, the brilliance on his face undoubtedly showed that he was also overjoyed.

You should know that the sales of "Nutik Shipbuilding Company" in the past year are only 50 million US dollars.

If we can negotiate this cooperation with Mr. Zhao, the 20 to 30 million US dollars can be at least half of it.

This is a big order for the entire company.

However, Noble's joy quickly disappeared without a trace.

The reason is very simple. Compared with the "Cape Town Shipyard" and "Smith Lane Ship Manufacturing Company", its own "Nortic Shipbuilding Company" is at a significant disadvantage in strength.

Judging from the words and behaviors of Mr. Zhao in front of him, the other party should be the kind of person who is more opinionated.

Since he has identified these two companies in advance, it will be very difficult to intervene by himself.

Of course, noble has the greatest difficulty, and facing huge benefits, Noble still has to try it out.

After his face was flattered, the man said with a smile on his face: "The two ship manufacturing companies Mr. Zhao mentioned are indeed two more famous in our South African shipbuilding industry."

"However, although these two companies are famous, they also have some problems that cannot be ignored!"

Noble said seriously: "For example, the 'Cape Town Shipyard' is a state-owned shareholder, so it is still relatively conservative in technology sharing."

"I think Mr. Zhao, you are engaged in the ship manufacturing industry. In the future, you will definitely have to produce and manufacture yourself in China. Therefore, you will pay more attention to the introduction of technology. Therefore, the 'Cape Town Shipyard' is actually not suitable to be Mr. Zhao's partner..."

Listening to Mr. Noble's reasonable analysis, Zhao Guoyang said "Hmm": "Mr. Noble has some truth, but you may not know much about our "Xingtai International"."

"In fact, our desire for shipbuilding technology is not so urgent. Because our company has its own 'Ship Manufacturing-Special Materials' Research Institute, which can technically support and guarantee..."

"Well……"

Zhao Guoyang's words directly put Noble in embarrassment.

As an old world who has been immersed in the shipbuilding industry for many years, Noble certainly understands the importance of the "research institute".

Any ship manufacturing company will immediately reach two levels as long as it has this "research institute".

Among the shipbuilding companies in South Africa, only the "Cape Town Shipyard" has its own "research institutes". Every year, there are twenty or thirty technical patents sold alone.

In this regard, let alone the "Nortic Shipbuilding Company" which is slightly inferior, even the "Smith Lane Shipbuilding Company" with a relatively large scale is incomparable to others.

Now Mr. Zhao from China has easily told the story of his company's ownership of the "Ship Technology Research Institute". How could Noble not be surprised?

Just as Noble was hesitating about how to save the scene, Zhao Guoyang was already looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Noble, you don't have to be anxious. Since I have accompanied Mr. Sun to your company today, I have the intention of inspecting it."

"I have never believed in fame, I only believe in what I have seen with my own eyes. If your company can come up with something I want, it is not impossible for me to cooperate with you..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished his light words, he turned the position of the host and guest upside down, turning it into a begging him for the "Nutik Shipbuilding Company".

Seeing his calm and gentle performance, Sun Jiadong next to him couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling that he seemed to be old.

At this time, Noble had been completely driven by Zhao Guoyang.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang intentionally take a look at the strength of his company, the director nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, no problem! Mr. Zhao, I will take you to visit our company's exhibition hall and see the various ship models in our showroom!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I'm just about to learn about your company's products over the years!"

Turning to look at Sun Jiadong, Zhao Guoyang asked with a smile: "Mr. Sun, why don't we go and have a look with Mr. Noble?"

Sun Jiadong naturally had no objection to this. The only thing he hoped for now was that he could help this researcher Zhao as much as possible so that he could think of himself when he cooperated with "Nutik Company".

Under Noble's leadership, the group came to the exhibition hall of "Nortic Company".

In the exhibition hall, there are all kinds of cargo ships, work ships, engineering ships, official ships, fishery fishing and processing ships, and aluminum-like high-speed ships.
