On the morning of the next day, accompanied by Minister Kong Xianchao and Counselor Li Haoping, the delegation drove to Montreal together.
Montreal, also known as Montreal, is located on Montreal Island and surrounding islands in the St.
Lawrence River in the southwest of Quebec, Canada, and is the economic center and main port of the Canadian province of Quebec, as well as the largest city in the province.
When the delegation arrived at the City of Montreal, they were personally received by the Mayor, Mrs.
Laura.
As the mayor of the largest city in Quebec, Ms.
Laura expressed a warm welcome to Zhao Guoyang and his delegation for economic and industrial exchanges in North America.
During the talks between the two sides, Ms.
Laura expressed on several occasions to Minister Kong Xianchao that she hoped that the delegation would stay in Montreal for two more days.
Because the Montreal Fashion Week, it will be held at the Academy Avenue of McGill University in the near future.
At that time, the world's leading industrial designers and many high-end brands will appear at this fashion festival.
Ms.
Laura hopes that this friendly delegation from China can appreciate and feel the style of this fashion festival up close.
Listening to Ms.
Laura's enthusiastic invitation, Kong Xianchao cast an inquiring glance at Zhao Guoyang.
Indeed, although Kong Xianchao's level is higher than Zhao Guoyang's, the itinerary of the inspection group is not something he can control.
Whether to stay in Montreal to participate in this fashion festival naturally depends on Zhao Guoyang's intentions.
Ms.
Laura is a smart person, and when she saw Kong Xianchao's gaze, she understood that Zhao Guoyang had the final say in this matter.
Naturally, the mayor also glanced at Zhao Guoyang.
Seeing that the two people with the highest status in the audience paid attention to themselves, Zhao Guoyang was a little helpless.
In fact, for this Montreal fashion festival, he personally wants to participate.
After all, I can learn more about some international high-end fashion brands, which will also be beneficial to the follow-up design of the "fashionbeauty" series of my Rongguang Machinery Factory.
But this time on the trip to North America, the itinerary of the delegation was too intense, and Zhao Guoyang was a little hesitant.
After thinking for a moment, he tentatively looked at Ms.
Laura and said, "Mayor Laura, the Montreal Fashion Show will not start until August 5th."
"There are still three days, and I'm afraid I may not be able to make it in time.
This is because the time reserved for this mission in Quebec is only two days.
Then, it's time to rush to Minnesota, USA."
Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Laura's face showed a relieved smile: "Head Zhao, I didn't expect you to know a lot about this fashion festival in our Montreal City." ” "That's right, for the past three years, our fashion festival has started on August 5th.
But this year, the situation was exceptional, as the festival was brought forward to August 4 to make way for the closing ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics.
That is, the day after tomorrow, the fashion festival will open. ” "I think if your group is willing to stay a little longer for half a day, it should be in time."
As soon as Mayor Laura said this, Zhao Guoyang's mind inevitably came alive.
Indeed, if it is the fifth of August, it will definitely be too late.
After all, the delegation has already contacted the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago and will arrive in Minnesota on August 5.
At that time, you will be picked up at Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport in Minnesota by staff from the Consulate General.
But if the festival opens on August 4th, you can definitely catch it by taking a night flight.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang bowed his head lightly and smiled at Ms.
Laura: "It's hard to be warm, since time permits, then our delegation must be in this fashion festival to enjoy it."
Laura didn't expect that this young head Zhao would make a decision so quickly, which was very different from the caution of ordinary Chinese officials.
After listening to Zhao Guoyang's answer, she nodded with a smile and said: "Head Zhao and the distinguished guests of the delegation are willing to appreciate the light, it is the best to go back, I asked the VIP tickets of the fashion festival to Minister Kong and Mr.
Zhao to send them over."
Kong Xianchao and Zhao Guoyang thanked the strong woman, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became harmonious.
Next, the representatives of the two sides talked about their views on bilateral trade between the two major countries, China and Canada.

Laura praised the general policy of China's reform and opening up, and looked forward to the rapid growth of Montreal and China's trade.
On the side of the delegation, Xu Guangyuan of the Ministry of Foreign Trade talked about the importance that the Chinese government and the people attach to trade with Canada.
Ning Zhongxin of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry of the People's Republic of China also made a speech, talking about the Huaxia machinery manufacturing industry, and admiring and admiring the high level of relevant manufacturing enterprises in Montreal.
After the two finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang concluded with a smile: "Mayor Laura, our delegation has always been yearning for the development of Montreal's traditional industries. ” "The city's garment, tobacco, food, textiles and timber industries are all very prominent, while other industries, such as steel, rolling stock, machinery, chemicals, aircraft and electrical appliances, are also very advanced and developed, and occupy a very important position in the world."
"Especially in vehicle manufacturing and aircraft, it is the focus of our delegation's inspection."
Hearing this, Laura's slightly relaxed face showed a heartfelt smile.
As the mayor of Montreal, Laura certainly knows how important these two industries are in her city.
It is no exaggeration to say that the profits generated by the two industries, vehicle manufacturing and aircraft production, support almost half of Montreal's economy.
In particular, Bombardier, the largest enterprise in the city, is a microcosm of the city's vigorous industrial development in the past two or three decades.
At this time, listening to Zhao Guoyang's point-to-point mention of these two industries, Laura seemed to see a large number of orders pouring into the most important enterprises in her city.
Trying to calm down her emotions, Laura looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said: "What Captain Zhao said is right, our Montreal city is indeed at the forefront of the times in vehicle manufacturing and aircraft. ” "Bombardier, the city's most famous manufacturing company, is the leader in this regard."
Listening to Laura's initiative to mention Bombardier, Zhao Guoyang saved a lot of trouble.
He bowed his head again and again, and said in approval: "Mayor Laura is right, in fact, one of the companies that our delegation wants to visit and visit most during this trip to Montreal is Bombardier."
Laura didn't seem surprised at all, but nodded with a smile: "It seems that Captain Zhao has made sufficient preparations before coming this time. ” "Indeed, Bombardier is a company that almost represents the face of the city of Montreal.
It would be a pity if your group didn't have time to visit one or two during this trip."
After listening to Laura's words, Zhao Guoyang climbed up the pole and said, "Yes, Ms.
Laura."
I don't know if it's convenient for Bombardier today.
Let's go over and take a look."
After Zhao Guoyang finished saying this, Laura was happy: "Head Zhao is too polite, in fact, when Minister Kong called me yesterday, I had already made arrangements." ” "After the welcome luncheon, I'll ask Mr.
Mark from the city's industrial bureau to accompany you on a tour of Bombardier."
"As for Bombardier, I've already said hello to their executive chairman, Pierre Ebola, just go over and he'll personally receive your guests."
After Laura said this, Zhao Guoyang was happy in his heart: Laura, the mayor, greeted him, and it was really different, even the executive chairman was dispatched.
Unlike those family businesses in Western countries, Bombardier is no longer in charge of the Bombardier family after several changes, but is composed of many large and small shareholders.
Its Executive Chairman, who is the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the executive elected by these shareholders and is the nominal supreme leader of the company.
The executive chairman, Pierre Ebola, may not be a personal shareholder among many shareholders.
But his influence at Bombardier is far greater than that of the major shareholders who only participate in dividends and do not ask about the company's operations.
If you can talk to this big man, maybe the task that Li Lao gave him will have some hope.
Putting aside the distractions in his mind, Zhao Guoyang politely said to Laura: "With Mr.
Pierre Ebola personally receiving us, then our trip will definitely be very smooth, thank you so much Mayor Laura."
Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Laura couldn't help but be surprised: "Has Captain Zhao heard of Mr.
Pierre Ebola?"
Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I know a little about Mr.
Pierre Ebola, who has worked at Bombardier United Technologies for 18 years, and began to serve as the head of the company's propulsion and aerospace systems business three years ago. ” "Last year, he was officially appointed as the executive chairman by the company's board of directors."
"To be honest, Pierre Ebola's technical leadership has been outstanding.
His appointment as executive chairman is a loss for Bombardier's technology division," Zhao said, shrugging his shoulders.
Laura obviously didn't expect that the head of the Chinese delegation would be so familiar with the situation of Bombardier, and there was a little consternation in her eyes.
As for the members of the Huaxia delegation, they have long been accustomed to Researcher Zhao's omniscience, and their expressions are very calm.
Laura was stunned for a while, then she came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled: "Mr.
Zhao's seriousness in doing things is really admirable."
I think Mr.
Pierre Ebola would have been a pleasure to meet you":
