0750 Self-nomination
Rosalind heard a hint of excitement in her boss's words, she stepped forward, glanced at the newspaper in front of her boss and saw such a headline.
"Britain and France resume joint aircraft carrier plan, Germany intends to join"
"Oh......"
Rosalind snorted, then stepped aside and dialed the phone.
A few minutes later, she walked back to Wu Qian's side and said, "Boss, two days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Mark will have thirty minutes at the Elysee Palace. ”
Busy, very busy, a character like Mr. Mark has a full schedule for a long time in the future, and it is rare to be able to take 30 minutes out of his busy schedule.
However, Wu Qian does not care about the short time, because he believes that as long as the topic is attractive enough, Mr. Mark will have more time.
More than 10 years ago, Britain and France launched a joint plan to build an aircraft carrier, planning to build three aircraft carriers together, basically the same model, but this plan eventually ran aground due to some technical difficulties and financial problems.
After more than a decade, the two countries intend to restart this plan, and the most noteworthy thing is that another very powerful country in Europe also intends to participate in the plan, and the participation of heavy industry will make the whole plan more secure.
Wu Qian's trip to Europe originally planned to exchange electromagnetic catapult technology, and his original idea was to use technology and funds to exchange Solan for an aircraft carrier that was about to be decommissioned, such as the Charles de Gaulle, which has been retired for more than ten years.
Kuretta could get a batch of idle carrier-based aircraft from Maozi Country, which was enough to consolidate the defense of the Solan coastline.
Unexpectedly, just in time for Britain, France and Germany to prepare to jointly build an aircraft carrier, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There are many problems to be overcome in building aircraft carriers, and if Wu Qian only has the technology of electromagnetic catapult in his hands, he really does not have the confidence to talk about cooperation, but he now holds several key technologies for building aircraft carriers, and he already has the capital to participate.
didn't wait for the next day, Wu Qian departed that day, and the smiley face A380 would still be on the Black Continent, but this did not prevent him from traveling, because the Manchester United happened to stop at Heathrow International Airport.
When he arrived in France, Wu Qian naturally did not choose to stay in a hotel, and he went straight to the village of Vaughan Romani in Burgundy.
Winter is a relatively quiet season for the vineyards, and the vines need some time to rest and accumulate nutrients for the following spring.
However, this does not mean that the workers can take a holiday, as the vines begin to prune in the winter after the harvest is complete and the leaves have fallen, the main purpose of which is to control the yield and growth of the grapes in the coming year.
Château Romanée Conti has its own method of pruning.
When Wu Qian appeared in Vaughan Romani's village, he happened to meet Fang Nanqi, who had been returning to the village for lunch after a busy morning.
"Yo, Boss Wu, you actually have time to come to the village to play? ”
Fang Nanqi wore a pair of plastic gloves and carried a rattan basket of small tools, and the whole person looked delicate and elegant, and it was impossible to see that she was going to do farm work.
Before Wu Qian could speak, Sheng Yihuan in the small manor walked out and said in surprise: "Wu Qian, you came over so without saying a word in advance, you didn't make enough lunch ...... lunch."
Wu Qian took the tool basket from Fang Nanqi's hand, walked into the courtyard, and said: "It's quite enjoyable, someone cooks for you every day, tsk, this day is comfortable, anyway, the food expenses of the two of you are not from the winery, right......?"
Affection between the mountains and rivers, forget the sorrows and gentleness.
The next morning, Wu Qian drove from Dijon to Paris, had an authentic French pastoral lunch at a country restaurant on the way, and arrived at the Élysée Palace at 2:40 p.m.
Mr. Mark didn't know what Wu Qian wanted to talk about with him, but for this young man, Mr. Mark was still very face-saving, after all, he helped him a lot, and one of the reasons for accepting Wu Qian's request to meet was because of ......
During this time, Mr. Mark learned about some things about Wu Qian in other countries through various channels, especially Wu Qian's actions in the United States, and he knew much more than ordinary people.
Many countries in the world are paying close attention to the general election in the United States, and Mr. Mark is certainly no exception.
At first, he was very optimistic about Joeden, believing that even if Jordon could not win the election, he would have no problem defeating other rivals in the Democratic faction, but the Orlando debate would surprise Mr. Mark, and Joeden's performance was a mess.
And another black lady who had been tepid for a long time before made a splash!
There must be a reason why something goes wrong.
Mr. Mark traces backwards, intending to figure out the reason for Jordon's defeat, and among the intertwined clues, he discovers a key person, that is, a person who appeared in many incidents, Wu Qian!
Wu Qian appeared in Kansas City, Wu Qian ran Bloomberg at the technology exhibition, Wu Qian and Cama Harrison "first met" in Miami, and Cama Harrison made a stunning appearance at the opening ceremony and won the votes of Florida in one fell swoop.
A series of seemingly unrelated things, which do not exist independently in Mr. Mark's view, have a transparent but tenacious thread that connects all the pieces together, and things are far from being as simple as the general public seems.
Just because Mr. Mark knows the specific situation of Wu Qian, he understands that Wu Qian will never do meaningless things.
As a result, Mr. Mark began to investigate everything Wu Qian did in the United States, trying to find out what he was doing, and then he found out that Wu Qian had acquired Devon Energy and Universal Music in the United States.
The acquisition of these two companies may not be worth paying attention to, but it is worth paying attention to what happened at the same time as the acquisition.
When Wu Qian acquired Devon Energy, it was the time when Mao Ziguo and Baipao collapsed and the Saudi king set off a price war, and after Wu Qian acquired Devon Energy, he announced a high-profile increase in production, which dealt a heavy blow to WTI oil prices.
The acquisition of Universal Records, Mr. Mark looked at the Miami Cruise Port in conjunction with the incident, and also found an unusual taste, there are many things full of weird coincidences, including Harrison is supported by a number of stars, and it is logical that there is a pair of big hands behind the promotion.
Everything was premeditated!
Only why Wu Qian wanted to buy so many companies and laboratories that research artificial intelligence robots, Mr. Mark has never figured it out, on the surface it really looks like he is fighting with Bloomberg, but he believes that the real situation will not be so simple.
In the end, regardless of the acquisition of technology companies, based on a series of other findings, Mr. Mark deduced a very frightening conclusion that he himself could not believe, he would never have imagined that Wu Qian, a young man, would be so bold and bold.
This time before meeting Wu, due to time problems, of course, it will not be in the restaurant, and the meeting place is in a luxurious living room in the Elysee Palace.
Crystal chandeliers, enamel tea sets, mahogany furniture, the décor of the living room is elegant and warm.
"Mr. Mark, I am very grateful to Mrs. Mark for her educational assistance to Solan, who has provided a strong help to Solan who lacks teachers, and has solved the basic education problems of hundreds of children. ”
In the first sentence of the meeting, Wu Qian first thanked Mrs. Mark, who he believed was more friendly than a simple greeting.
Sure enough, Mr. Mark smiled very happily, far from the kind of smile he had when socializing, but when he remembered what Wu Qian had done in the United States, his smile seemed a little unnatural.
"As Mr. Wu said, it is a happy thing for my wife to send greetings to Solan on behalf of France, I wonder what Mr. Wu is here today?"
Mr. Mark asked.
Wu Qian stretched out his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, and continued: "I saw a news item in the newspaper a few days ago, which said that your country plans to join hands with Britain and Germany to build an aircraft carrier, I don't know how true this news is?"
Mr. Mark smiled and said, "It turned out that this was the case, Mr. Wu, the content in the newspaper is true news." ”
Mr. Mark only said half of his words, this news is indeed not fake, but this plan has been launched for a month, but he did not tell Wu Qian, because he felt that there was no great need, and he did not understand why Wu Qian cared about this matter.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Qian thought quietly for a while, and after organizing the wording, he said: "According to the news, your country, Britain and Germany plan to jointly build four aircraft carriers, two of which belong to the United Kingdom, and the other two belong to your country and Germany. ”
"That's right, Mr. Mark, I intend to offer a few technologies and funds in exchange for participating in the plan to build an aircraft carrier for Solan. ”
After Wu Qian's words were finished, Mr. Mark almost lost his temper, but fortunately his concentration was strong, otherwise he really couldn't control his facial expressions.
Although Solan has received a large amount of funds in recent times and has developed well, it is too exaggerated to say that it is too much to raise an aircraft carrier, and it is not too necessary from the perspective of demand, and from the perspective of follow-up maintenance, the cost is extremely high, and it is not a defense project that should be considered at this stage.
Mr. Mark believes that Wu Qian can come up with the funds to build an aircraft carrier, and it can be seen from the other party's buying and buying in the United States that one Universal record is enough to build six Charles de Gaulle, but the technology that the other party said made him a little curious.
"Mr. Wu, I don't know what technology you are talking about, what is it?"
Mr. Mark asked.
Wu Qian waved his hand to Rosalind, who was standing beside him, and Rosalind was instructed to step forward and place the folder she had been carrying on Mr. Mark's desk.
Mr. Mark was very curious, he knew the situation of the various industries under Wu Qian's name very well, according to his understanding, thyssenkrupp did have several advanced materials technology, but it was far from the level of monopoly, what kind of technology made the other party so mysterious.
Picking up the folder and opening it, Mr. Mark took out a small stack of materials from it, and Mr. Mark flipped through it roughly with his thumb, and found that it had been bound into three copies, probably three technical materials.
He opened the first one, and sure enough, it was said that thyssenkrupp can currently smelt an ultra-high-strength steel, which can fully meet the requirements of aircraft carrier deck take-off and landing, with high temperature resistance, no deformation, and excellent performance.
It's a good technology, but it's not so attractive that some companies in France and Germany can do it at the moment, and it's not irreplaceable.
Putting down the first copy, Mr. Mark opened the second copy, and as soon as he opened it, he was attracted to it.
This information is about welding technology, the same is thyssenkrupp group, but a technology of its subsidiary, from the data, the mastery of this technology is that it can weld very thick (60mm) steel plates together, which belongs to a kind of submerged arc welding, but far beyond the ordinary submerged arc welding level.
No matter how good the steel is, the huge volume of the aircraft carrier cannot always be integrated molding, and the process of building the aircraft carrier is a segmented construction, which requires the use of industrial sewing machines and welding, and the requirements for welding technology are very, very high.
The United States used 47,000 tons of special thick steel and more than 1 million different parts to build the Reagan, and spent a total of 12 million welding man-hours, accounting for more than 30 percent of the entire aircraft carrier construction work.
It is not difficult to see the importance of welding technology for the construction of aircraft carriers.
If ultra-high-strength steel is only 20 points attractive to Mr. Mark, then this welding technology, which has not been shown in the world, has an appeal of 60 points to him, reaching the passing mark.
The expression on Mr. Mark's face changed slightly, he was calm when he read the first document, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned when he read the second document, as if there was a little wave in his heart.
When he opened the third document and saw what was said in the introduction, his eyes widened a little.
Finally, of course, is the supercapacitor electromagnetic ejection technology developed by Wu Qian's laboratory.
"Oh!
Mr. Mark muttered in disbelief and glanced up at Wu Qian, who was drinking tea.
Wu Qian put down the teacup and nodded, motioning for Mr. Mark to continue looking.
Mr. Mark is very aware of the importance of electromagnetic catapult for an aircraft carrier, without this technology, then the aircraft carrier is just a large flat ship floating on the sea, and now the steam catapult used by Charles de Gaulle is purchased from the United States at a very high price.
Looking at the first two materials, Mr. Mark took ten minutes, and the first one only took three minutes, but he spent a full fifteen minutes reading the electromagnetic catapult-related materials, in fact, the content was not very full, but he came back and read it three times.
The attraction of this technology to him has reached a hundred points, full marks, and he is not afraid of the pride of the other party, and he believes that this technology will be extremely greedy as long as it is a country that has the intention to build an aircraft carrier.
It was supposed to be a good conversation for 30 minutes, but before the conversation could start, there was only one minute left, but it didn't matter, Mr. Mark pressed the office phone and told the assistant to help him cancel the subsequent activities, because he had more important things to take care of.
