After lunch at the City of Montreal, Mark Mark, director of the Montreal Industry Bureau, led a delegation to Bombardier to visit and study.
With the company of this important figure of the Montreal City Government, everyone was naturally treated very highly by each other on this trip.
In Bombardier's multimedia conference room, Bombardier's 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 Chinese and North American economic and industrial exchange delegation.
Accompanying Bombardier executives were Dussel, President of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing, Calderon, President of Bombardier Aerospace, and Samuel Carter, President of Bombardier ATV.
For the arrival of the Chinese delegation, Pierre Ebola extended a warm welcome.
Mr.
Pierre Ebola was followed by the usual statement by the head of the mission.
After everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Zhao Guoyang began to speak calmly.
"First of all, I would like to thank Mr.
Pierre Ebola and the executives for giving us such an extraordinary courtesy, I really appreciate it."
"Bombardier's partnership with us dates back to 1954.
At that time, your company provided nearly 3,000 refrigerated cars, power cars, passenger cars and dining cars for the Ministry of Railways of China, which helped us solve a big problem in railway operation, for which we have always been deeply grateful."
After Zhao Guoyang's remarks, several Bombardier executives showed a look of relief on their faces.
Indeed, Bombardier has always been relatively open and friendly in its strategy towards China, and has spared no effort to help China in terms of technology.
Although China has also given money for the transfer of many technologies, "there is no free lunch in the world", and Bombardier has been able to maintain its own principles in the context of the "technological blockade" imposed by most Western countries on China, which is very commendable.
At the same time, it is also a place of pride for Bombardier.
This time, Zhao Guoyang and his delegation will be the first stop of the North American "all-terrain vehicle" manufacturer, and there are also important reasons in this regard.
After Zhao Guoyang said this, Dussel, president of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing, responded with a smile.
He said with a smile: "Zhao is right, as a global leader in the field of rail transportation, we at Bombardier have been very concerned about and actively involved in the construction of urban rail transit in China for many years. ” "And we promise to continue to transfer world-class technology and advanced management methods to your country in the coming years."
It's a great honor that we have not broken our original promise, and our cooperation has been very smooth."
Among Bombardier's four businesses, rail vehicle design and manufacturing is its largest segment.
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.
Dussel, president of Bombardier Rail Vehicle Design and Manufacturing, is also a shareholder of Bombardier AG, and is not far behind Pierre Ebola.
At this time, listening to his explanation, the smile on Zhao Guoyang's face became profound.
"Mr.
Dussel is right, your company's technology transfer to our Chinese enterprises has been continuous and has never stopped.
Moreover, this transfer is a comprehensive and systematic transfer of advanced technology and management systems, and it is a continuous and synchronous transfer, not just the provision of products. ” "This is also an important reason why we are so close to your company" Listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, several Bombardier executives were a little surprised while rejoicing.
They had never imagined that there would be people in this delegation from Huaxia who would be so familiar with the cooperation between Bombardier and Huaxia.
Being able to say such a professional remark is enough to prove that this young man is extraordinary.
Just when several Bombardier bigwigs were about to speak, Zhao Guoyang spoke again.
"Realistically speaking, Bombardier has been of great help to our Huaxia in the design and manufacture of rail vehicles, railway control equipment, urban rail transit vehicles and equipment."
"Over the years, our company has made rapid progress in these fields, and your company has indeed made a contribution that cannot be ignored."
Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang's words are a turn: "In the past few decades, your company and our Huaxia have been adopting such a cooperation model and carrying out friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation.
But such an approach now seems to be far from enough. ” Hearing this, Executive Chairman Pierre Ebola was stunned.
However, this big guy's temperament is still very calm.
Although he was puzzled, his tone remained calm.
He smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Guoyang calmly and said, "Mr.
Zhao's point of view is very novel and creative.
If you can, please give us a detailed analysis."
Zhao Guoyang bowed his head lightly and said slowly: "Actually, my point of view is not difficult to understand. ” "With the gradual increase in the pace of China's reform and opening up, the strategy of Western countries to blockade our technology has gradually lost its market."
"In recent years, vehicle manufacturing enterprises, railway trains and related industrial design and manufacturing enterprises in many developed countries, including the United States, Germania, island countries and other developed countries, have turned their attention to the huge market of China."
Zhao Guoyang looked up at Pierre Ebola and then said, "I have a data here.
In the past three years, there have been 67 machinery manufacturing giants in western developed countries that have invested in our Huaxia factories or joint ventures. ” "And the companies that can be called the world's machinery manufacturing giants, there are only about 100 companies in the world."
"Then the number of "sixty-seven" is self-evident, it means that the world's machinery manufacturing giants have turned their attention to our country, to our energetic, unlimited potential behemoth" Listening to Zhao Guoyang's "nonsense", the people on the side of the Huaxia delegation were secretly speechless.
That's right, in everyone's opinion, the development speed of Huaxia in recent years has indeed improved significantly.

But isn't it an exaggeration to say that adjectives like "energetic and potential" are placed on one's own?
But this researcher Zhao is good, and when he says a big thing, his face is not red, which makes people sigh to themselves.
Unlike the members of Huaxia's side, Pierre Ebola fell into deep thought after listening to Zhao Guoyang's account.
It can be seen that this big guy is really seriously analyzing Zhao Guoyang's remarks.
Moreover, it is very important.
That's when Samuel Carter, president of Bombardier ATV Manufacturing, spoke up.
He nodded to Zhao Guoyang and gave a thumbs up: "Mr.
Zhao's understanding of these situations is really amazing. ” "Indeed, as you said, the giants of the international machinery manufacturing industry have paid more and more attention to your country.
We are also paying more attention to such a huge market as your country. ” "But, IMHO."
Samuel Carter's face was full, "The level of basic industry in your country is still at a very low level.
Even if these international machinery manufacturing giants open branches in China, they are more likely to regard your country as a cheap processing base. ” "To put it bluntly, they still value economic interests more than they sincerely want to carry out long-term and win-win cooperation with your country."
"This is completely different from Bombardier's China strategy" After Samuel Carter's words came out, Zhao Guoyang secretly approved.
Indeed, the man at the helm of Bombardier's "all-terrain vehicle" industry is telling the truth.
Being able to hear such direct and point-to-point words from his mouth, Zhao Guoyang's evaluation of him has improved a lot.
He smiled and said, "Mr.
Samuel Carter is right, these manufacturing giants are currently increasing their investment in China, and to put it bluntly, they can't escape a good word. ” "However, even these giant companies are just trying to make our cheap labor and huge market in China.
But their business in Huaxia has expanded after all. ” "If we follow the current situation, it will take ten or twenty years to develop.
Our new generation of Chinese people who have grown up may only know the manufacturing giants such as Volkswagen, Boeing, and McDonnell Douglas, but not the name of your company."
Zhao Guoyang's words hit the key point at once, making several Bombardier executives present nod their heads one after another.
Indeed, Bombardier can continue to cooperate with Huaxia as tepidly as in the past.
However, in the context of other manufacturing giants scrambling to expand investment, Bombardier's influence in China is undoubtedly going downhill.
More importantly, Bombardier has many main industries, and its competitors are far from being as simple as three or five.
The world's largest vehicle manufacturers, railway track design and manufacturing giants, and aerospace industry giants are all competitors of Bombardier.
In this case, if Bombardier does not change its approach to China, the consequences are obvious.
After a moment of silence in the room, Pierre's Ebola slowly began to speak.
The nominal leader of Bombardier said to Zhao Guoyang in a tone of seeking advice: "Mr.
Zhao, we are very grateful for the truth you just explained. ” "What I want to ask is, in Mr.
Zhao's view, what strategy should we adopt at Bombardier to meet the challenge of these competitors":
