0693 Medici (4K chapters)

The weather is cold, the Nürburgring is wrapped in jungle and the road is a little wet, which is not very suitable for speeding on the track, but testing this kind of thing does not pick the weather, and the weather is what it hits.

Many of the performance cars that challenge the Nürburgring Nordschleife will have the weather conditions at the end of the lap so that the other cars can be compared, and this kind of thing does not need to be faked, but the test is to let the engineer know the limits of the car and then optimize it.

If you even make fake data for testing this kind of thing, you really don't know if you are deceiving customers or yourself, and you are deceiving yourself!

The work of vehicle testing is certainly not Stefan's own work, there are dedicated drivers in charge.

He took Wu Qian to sit in a simple office and brewed two cups of hot coffee himself.

"Wu, my people contacted the ThyssenKrupp laboratory this morning, and as you said, the progress of steel smelting has no impact, and it is expected that the task will be completed the day after tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, Stefan handed a cup of coffee to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian took a coffee cup and said with a smile: "Stefan, I know that your group has close business dealings with thyssenkrupp, and I don't know if thyssenkrupp will have an impact on the treasure code group after it is acquired." ”

thyssenkrupp's business coverage is very extensive, and some parts used in the car will be OEM, especially engine camshafts, and thyssenkrupp's manufacturing technology is very exquisite.

Stefan leaned on the desk with a coffee cup, shrugged his shoulders and said: "There will definitely be an impact, the new director will take over a huge enterprise, and he will inevitably carry out innovation, I just hope the impact is not too big." ”

"To be honest, it really surprised me that thyssenkrupp was bought as a whole, and it was supposed to be just intended to 'de-steel', but the result was ...... If that doesn’t beat all. ”

Stefan smiled and shook his head, as if he was very surprised by the overall acquisition of thyssenkrupp, after all, thyssenkrupp has a longer history in Germany than a treasure code, and it is embarrassing to say that if you change the boss, you will change the boss.

Wu Qian made a strange expression and asked, "How much money does your group have with thyssenkrupp every year? ”

Stefan put down the coffee cup, sat down on the sofa next to Wu Qian, and said: "This kind of thing is a secret to the outside world, and it is not a secret to friends, our group has about 800 million euros of business dealings with thyssenkrupp every year. ”

"Some time ago, my sister drew up a plan to increase business cooperation with thyssenkrupp, but I didn't expect that before it could be implemented, thyssenkrupp actually changed a new director, which made my sister worry about this matter for several days, haha. ”

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's really rare that such a small thing can make Ms. Suzanne worry, haha." ”

Before Wu Qian met Stefan, he knew about Stefan's sister from the media, or rather, before that, Wu Qian only knew Stefan's sister Susanna, but not Stefan.

It's just that Suzanne is so famous in Germany, sitting on more than half of the shares of Altana Pharmaceuticals, 20% of the shares of Baoma Group, and other companies such as graphene companies, wind turbine manufacturing and passport manufacturing companies.

Germany's veritable number one richest woman can be ranked in the top five of Germany's richest list.

Now Suzanne has less management of the affairs of the Treasure Code Group, and most of them are in the hands of Stefan, but when it comes to the appointment and dismissal of the CEO, Suzanne has a great deal of power, and within the Treasure Code Group, she does not have as many shares as Stefan, but her power is greater than that of Stefan.

Stefan also trusted his sister very much, and the two managed the Treasure Code Group in good order.

Stefan smiled and said, "Wu, to tell you the truth, my sister will definitely ask me to contact the new director of ThyssenKrupp after a while, it's a headache to think about, I won't do those things better than her." ”

Suzanne has always been Stefan's idol since she was a child, and he trusts and adores his sister very much.

Wu Qian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't know about contacting other groups, but if you are in contact with the directors of thyssenkrupp, you must do better than your sister, believe me." ”

Stefan didn't hear the hidden meaning of Wu Qian's words, he smiled and said, "Wu, you haven't dealt with my sister, her ability ...... I'm ashamed of myself. ”

Wu Qian waved his hand and said: "Stefan, you don't understand, it's not a matter of ability, but I really don't like dealing with women in their fifties, I feel very uncomfortable, really." ”

"You don't like it...... Huh?" Stefan's thinking speed was extremely fast, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't keep up with Wu Qian's rhythm, he was stunned, and his eyes looked straight at Wu Qian, as if he didn't know him.

Ten seconds later, Stefan exclaimed in German and asked in great surprise: "You are the one who bought thyssenkrupp?"

"I'm sorry for the little joke I played with you last night, I hope you don't mind. ”

Wu Qian spread his hands and said.

Stefan's face was full of disbelief, he felt that as long as he was with Wu Qian, he could always experience what it meant to be unexpected.

He had already sent someone to investigate the situation and wanted to find out the information about the acquisition of the owner of ThyssenKrupp, but the person was close at hand.

"Oh my God, that's great, my sister tried to give me a problem, and it turned out to be ...... Hahaha, it just surprised me. ”

The things that troubled him were easily solved, Stefan was very happy, the relationship between him and Wu Qian was not bad, and if he talked about business, he would naturally be relatively harmonious.

Wu Qian hadn't seen Stefan so happy before, he smiled: "You're slowly happy, I won't talk to you, I'll go see how the car is debugged, go to the track for a few laps, and the M8 test is about to start, right?"

As he spoke, Wu Qian stood up.

Stefan made a gesture of please while opening the door, and said, "There is still some time to test, Wu, you go to play first, and ask the workers for any equipment to get." ”

After Wu Qian bought ThyssenKrupp, the relationship between him and Stefan became more and more complicated, and Stefan was a little unsure of what to do with this friend.

David was busy in the workshop and didn't notice anything unusual about the vehicle.

Wu Qian put on the professional racing suit within the Baoma Group, and then drove Bugatti from a hidden small goalkeeper onto the track.

The moment the Bugatti LaVoiture Noire appeared on the track, it attracted a lot of attention!

This is one of only three supercars in the world, one in the collection room of the chairman of the third year, and the other in the garage of the Middle Eastern royal family.

"Look at that black Bugatti over there, oh my God, is it the chairman of the junior year?"

"Isn't there an internet connection in your house? Mr. Ferdinand passed away last month...... Do you mean it's a ghost driving that Bugatti?"

"Oh my God, I really don't know, that's the Middle Eastern royalty. ”

"It may also be the mysterious buyer of the Celestial Empire, look, accelerated, it's definitely not the royal family, that royal family's driving skills are not as good as equestrianism, this is definitely not him!"

The Nürburgring Nordschleife is a 20-kilometre circuit that is always subject to slips through the fence and then hides in the jungle to watch the car test or secretly take pictures, especially the Bugatti LaVoitureNoire.

A top-of-the-line sports car that is like a work of art can only be found in three places: at the launch, in the collection room, and in the garage.

Although this is a sports car that embodies the efforts of engineers, there are really too few people who are really willing to let it run, and if there is a little accident, it is not the money that is distressed, but the beloved things that are hurt.

Wu Qian's thoughts are different, in his current values, no matter how valuable this item is, it cannot be separated from the most basic use, sports car, that is to speed on the track, that is the mission of the sports car, after completing the original mission, it is not too late to put it in the collection room.

No one questioned why there were private cars now in closed beta with the manufacturers, and they all knew that the restrictions would mean nothing to the wealthy who could own a Bugatti LaVolitureNoire.

Driving the Bugatti on the track, Wu Qian's mood was actually very nervous, it was really this track that was notorious, and he had to carry a sense of awe in his heart.

A lap of 20 kilometers, hundreds of corners, hundreds of meters of drop, people's heartstrings continue to tighten, Wu Qian did not dare to drive the car too fast, although the use of professional rainy tires, but still did not dare to step on the accelerator too deep.

During the drive, Wu Qian mainly admired the scenery on both sides of the track, and occasionally had a friendly chase with the test car, although each test car was camouflaged, he could still tell which brand of vehicle it was by its distinctive features.

After running two laps, Wu Qian found an embarrassing situation, on the entire track, there was only one private car for him, and the rest were all test cars, not all of them were high-performance cars, and some of them were 180,000 grocery cars.

After all, in addition to the fierce name of "Green Hell", the Nürburgring also has the title of "Ring of Truth".

The 20-kilometer track has an extremely complex road environment, which can reflect all the characteristics of a car, such as high-speed stability, handling, electronic systems, power matching, etc.

Therefore, the Nürburgring is called the "Ring of Truth" in the car car circle, and testing on this track can find many advantages and disadvantages on the vehicle, which can be used for future improvement and optimization.

Perhaps because the distance is too far away and it is not convenient to go to the Nürburgring for testing, Wu Qian regretfully found that there was no test car in his own country, maybe it was just the wrong time and did not meet.

For a day, Wu Qian had a hearty time on the track, and he didn't have to worry about things such as vehicle tuning and replacing wearing parts, and whenever the performance declined, he honestly drove to the maintenance workshop of the third year.

In order to meet the needs of Wu Qian, the three of them used helicopters to urgently dispatch Bugatti's special tires and brake pads and other consumable parts to serve top customers.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky became more and more gloomy, and there was a feeling that black clouds were about to destroy the city.

Wu Qian finished his day's entertainment and left the Nürburgring in a helicopter, while the two cars were pulled by a box of goods carrying "grilled sausages" towards Frankfurt Airport.

The helicopter returned to the villa, Wu Qian found that the villa was empty, Yao Xinlu and Rosalind and others were not there, these days busy with the acquisition of ThyssenKrupp, Yao Xinlu, as the main person in charge, is out early and late every day.

When it was time for dinner, the clouds in the sky finally could not bear the weight of the water droplets, and it began to rain heavily.

At the same time, Yao Xinlu and Rosalind and others also returned to the villa.

After dinner, Yao Xinlu called Wu Qian into the bedroom, and the investigation of heraldry had results, and he needed to find a quiet place to talk.

Only in the bedroom, Yao Xinlu can get along with Wu Qian alone, otherwise someone will follow him in other places, and it is inconvenient for Yao Xinlu to instruct the people around Wu Qian to leave.

On the terrace, the white noise of the rain falling like a curtain and washing over the leaves makes a relaxing sound.

Wu Qian had enjoyed the ultimate excitement during the day, and this quiet atmosphere made him very comfortable inside.

"Is there any news from your classmates?"

Wu Qian asked, Yao Xinlu asked him to talk in the room alone, it must be a very obscure thing.

Yao Xinlu nodded and said, "My memory is not wrong, the coat of arms on the key handle is the family emblem of a famous family in Europe that has lasted for centuries, and the name of this family is Medici." ”

Wu Qian rubbed his cheeks with his hand and frowned, "Medici, Medici family?"

This name is extremely unfamiliar to him, in fact, many family names in Europe are very unfamiliar to him, after all, he is not a liberal arts student who studies history, and he does not know the history of his country comprehensively, where is it possible to dabble in European history.

"Your classmate just told you such a little information?" Wu Qian asked, a family name that didn't seem to be of much use.

Yao Xinlu nodded and said, "Through the tracing and painting of heraldry, of course, there is only such a little information, but this is important enough. ”

Wu Qian said: "Do you know this beauty...... The Medici?"

Yao Xinlu nodded slowly and said, "After a brief understanding, the ancestors of the Medici family were Tuscan peasants, who later became rich in industry and commerce, became a nobleman in the thirteenth century, and participated in the Florentine government. ”

"In 1532 Florence became a duchy, in 1567 Cosimo of the Medici family was given the title of Grand Duchy, and two years later the Grand Duchy of Tuscany was established, called Cosimo I, Florence became the capital of the duchy, and the Medici family ruled in Florence until 1737. ”

"History records that the Medici family finally disintegrated because of the extinction......"

After that, Yao Xinlu looked at Wu Qian with a strange look.

Wu Qian faced Yao Xinlu's strange eyes and responded with an exaggerated smile.

"What kind of eyes are you, I'm a native of the capital of the Celestial Empire, not an Italian ......"
