0451 Tuhao, you made us wait so hard
There is a reason why this assistant has such a complicated expression on his face.
As early as when Wu Qian had not yet set off from the capital to the United Kingdom, because of visa problems, Wu Qian asked Yao Xinlu to contact the Airbus Group, saying that he wanted to visit the factory to buy a plane, hoping to get an invitation letter to facilitate the Schengen visa.
It was the assistant next to Di Maneva who answered the phone.
After receiving a call from Wu Qian, the assistant first briefly checked Wu Qian's qualifications.
After verification, Wu Qian's qualifications at that time were barely enough to visit, and as for the interesting words about the A380 on the phone, Di Maneva's subordinates did not take it seriously, and did not even report it to Di Maneva.
After all, Wu Qian's foundation was still too weak at that time, and the strength he showed did not have the potential to buy A380 at all, and an aircraft of 300 million euros was not something that any cat or dog could afford.
It's not for nothing in the world to use the A380 as a private jet, but there are really only a handful, and the fingers of one hand are completely enough.
Buy A380 or not, put aside, in case you buy a hot-selling model like A320, it's also good, so Di Maneva's assistant has been tracking Wu Qian's movements.
When he learned that Wu Qian set out from the capital to Europe, and his first stop was to England instead of coming directly to Toulouse, he had some thoughts in his heart.
At that time, the assistant thought that Wu Qian had lied to Airbus Group in order to get a Schengen visa, because such a thing had not happened......
The assistant was a little unwilling, and he decided to continue tracking for a while before making a conclusion.
Fortunately, he didn't make up his mind too arbitrarily and blacklisted Wu Qian......
Wu Qian's actions in the UK are not insignificant, and for people who don't know, don't care, and don't pay attention, they won't know too clearly, but if they have the heart to follow and follow, they will definitely know a lot.
At the beginning, Leeds Castle was photographed, and almost no one in the outside world knew about it.
But later, the assistant learned through the group's special channels that the boss behind the "Happy Source Investment Company" that bought Harrods Department Store for 3.6 billion pounds from Qatar Holding Group was actually the object of his previous suspicion.
This deal instantly alleviated the suspicion in the assistant's heart, he felt that it was impossible for a big boss who could spend billions of pounds to lie for a visa, but he didn't expect that more amazing was yet to come.
In just a few days, Wu Qian made consecutive moves, won more than half of the shares of the UK's largest water company, and bought the top giant club at the same time!
The three investments add up to more than 10 billion pounds!
This frightened the assistant, and he couldn't be happy, because if a distinguished guest of this level really wanted to order a plane from Airbus, he was completely unqualified to arrange a reception!
Fortunately, the assistant was decisive enough to quickly report it to Di Maneva.
At that time, Di Maneva told his assistant a word, wait.
Who knows, this wait is almost a month, but at least it proves that Di Maneva is not wrong, his waiting has come to fruition, and the long-awaited big customer has finally arrived!
"Mr. Wu, do you think you want to visit which department of our group do you want to visit first? Is it the Sky City, the museum or the A380 assembly line? If you want to go to the R&D center, I can also apply for you. ”
Di Maneva said enthusiastically.
It is not so simple to go to Airbus's R&D center, and the secrets involved are too valuable, and not only do you need an invitation from the Airbus Group, but also France needs to approve its identity so as not to be mixed with espionage......
Wu Qian looked at Di Maneva's expectant eyes, and he really couldn't bear to refuse, but he still refused.
"It's not early in the morning, so I visit the beautiful 'City of Roses' first, and then go to the factory after lunch. ”
It is true that Wu Qian came to buy a plane today, but it is also the first time he has come to Toulouse, and it would be a pity if he did not visit the city.
The expression on Di Maneva's face did not change in the slightest, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Wu, I don't know if I can have the honor to be your guide? ”
In the end, Di Maneva also deliberately put on a proud expression.
"Then I'm sorry for you, I hope it won't delay your work. Wu Qian politely said.
Di Maneva waved his hand again and again, saying that he would not delay his work, what are you kidding, his job now is to serve this customer well.
"Mr. Wu, if you want to enjoy the 'City of Roses' as a tourist, I suggest you go to the town hall first, and then you can go to the cathedral of the Catholic diocese of Toulouse......"
Wu Qian listened to Di Maneva's brief introduction, and said, "Please also ask Mr. Di Maneva to lead the way." ”
With that, Wu Qian walked towards the phantom that had already unloaded and landed.
Di Maneva knew that Wu Qian had brought a car, but he still symbolically prepared a Mercedes-Benz S, it doesn't matter if it doesn't come in handy, as long as the meaning is in place.
Two assistants drove a Skoda alone.
Mercedes-Benz S led the way in front, the Phantom in front of Wu followed, Skoda hung at the end, and a group of three cars slowly drove away from the airport.
Wu Qian, led by locals, visited the city that had been established in the Iron Age.
Wandering through the streets, Wu Qian looked at the scenery on the side of the street, and it was hard to imagine that this was one of the top five big cities in developed countries.
Everywhere there are brick houses no more than five stories high, and it is a "city of roses" in the eyes of romantic poets, but if you look at it from the eyes of a layman who does not understand romance, it is a "brick city......
"It's really like where I lived when I was a child, and I have a sense of urban-rural junction......" Wu Qian muttered softly: "It seems that whether the economy is developed or not is not necessarily related to high-rise buildings." ”
Traveling in a strange foreign land, Wu Qian did not have the slightest sense of loneliness in his heart, he was discovering the beauty around him with his heart.
However, all the good things were shattered just as we were about to arrive at the town hall.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Di Maneva sat in the co-pilot, and the driver's seat was driven by a full-time driver, and when the last turn was about to walk onto the road leading to the city hall boulevard, Di Maneva saw countless yellow figures appear on the street not far away.
"The front is...... Fack, it's a parade!"
Di Maneva exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said to the driver: "Turn around, turn around, turn around quickly." ”
In recent years, there have been a number of yellow vest protests in France, even in Toulouse, which is not the first time.
The reason for this is the protest against the increase in taxes of all kinds, especially the price of oil, which is making life increasingly difficult for the population......
"It didn't go well today......"
Di Maneva complained depressedly.
No one wants expatriate clients to see such an ugly side of their city.
Unfortunately, when the Mercedes S turned around and the phantom staggered by, Di Maneva found that Wu Qian had seen the crowd marching in the distance through the window.
