Minister Ross sat in his office, knuckles rhythmically tapping on his desk, thinking about how to use connections to crowd out and suppress ThyssenKrupp's branches and factories in the United States.

thyssenkrupp has hundreds of subsidiaries in every corner of the world, and there are several subsidiaries and two large factories in the country.

Since the branch is opened on the land of the United States, it is necessary to abide by the rules of the game they have made, Minister Ross is dissatisfied with Wu Qian's behavior and wants to announce his personal vendetta, but he also has some scruples, after all, he is still eager to cooperate, and it is not good to make the relationship too rigid.

After thinking for a long time, Minister Ross pursed his lips, raised his wrist to glance at the time, and then flipped out the address book and dialed the phone number that Wu Qian had left for his subordinates.

On Bai Peila's side, several Land Cruisers stopped in front of a domed building, this is a movie theater, the main part has just been completed, the interior decoration has not yet started, Wu Qian has already arranged a room for conversation in the movie theater.

Wu Qian got out of the car and said to Rapo Erkan: "Erkan, there is no problem for other groups to cooperate with you, we will divide the account, but it can't be according to the ratio of three or seven, one nine, you one and I nine, how about it?"

When Wu Qian bought Manchester United from the Glazer family, Rapo Elkann acted as a middleman to help Wu Qian negotiate to earn commissions.

But this time the business is different from the past, and the funds involved are too large, and it is impossible for Wu Qian to let Rapo Erkan take such a big advantage.

Rapo Elkan looked depressed, and divided the account, this is simply too ruthless, although it is said that this is the other party's territory, and the other party has the final say, but he also leaves a little sweetness for himself.

Wu ...... First of all, I want to thank you for giving me preferential policies for investment projects, but isn't it a bit ...... for you to say that this nine-cent account?"

Wu Qian raised his hand and motioned for Professor Camilo and Rapo Elkann to invite in, and he said softly: "You may not understand what I mean, I mean, those people in your circle of friends who want to invest, you will contact them, and then divide the account." ”

As they spoke, the group was walking towards the door of the cinema when they saw Rapo Elkan pause, not keeping up with the pace, and showing an unusual flush on his face, which was caused by the congestion of facial capillaries in an extremely excited mood.

According to the meaning of Wu Qian's words, as long as he pulls in the investment project of Bai Peila, he will be able to extract 10 percent of the tax revenue in the future.

One moment Rapo Elkan felt that Wu Qianzai was a little ruthless, and the next moment he realized that he was wrong to blame his friend, this is simply a fat fat poor that can't be fatter!

Rapo Elkan understands that if Wu Qian has the time and is willing to contact, he will not get a hair, he knows that Wu Qian values the advantages of his strong communication skills, so he entrusts this task, but in the end, the other party is willing to give the opportunity.

Wu Qian looked back at Rapo Elkan with a smile and asked, "Do you have any intention of this business?"

Rapo Elkan couldn't help nodding, don't say anything for the interests of Wu Qian and Solan, just for his own interests, he has to lobby with all his might.

10% of the tax revenue of related industries is a huge amount of wealth.

"Wu, do you want to ...... You talk to the professor alone, I'm going back to Italy, there's a drinking party in the evening, there's a golf party tomorrow, I'm going to meet a friend. ”

Rapo Elkann can't wait, he finds his way to the top of his life.

At the same time as Wu Qian raised his hand to ask for convenience, his mobile phone rang, not many people knew this number, and generally he would only give it to the kind of people who needed to contact him directly.

Wu Qian took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID, there was no detailed information, only showing that he was calling from the United States, and the gesture of "please" to Rapo Erkann changed to "wait".

Wu Qian stepped aside and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Mr. Wu, I'm Ross of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States. ”

During the last negotiation, Minister Ross did not receive Wu Qian directly, and this was the first time the two had a phone call.

A wealthy man who can easily come up with an investment of nearly 10 billion yuan is enough to be personally received by the minister.

Wu Qian looked at Elkan with an excited look on his face not far away, recalled the conversation between the two more than ten minutes ago, and said in his heart, I really want to eat hail under the ice......

"Oh, it's Minister Ross, hello, I didn't expect to get a call from you. ”

Wu Qiandao.

Minister Ross said to himself, I really didn't expect to take the initiative to call you.

"Mr. Wu, I just learned that you have successfully acquired the German thyssenkrupp group, congratulations. ”

Wu Qian's heart tightened, this was obviously a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to the chicken, uneasy and kind, the other party was looking forward to investing in the United States, but he went to Germany, how could the other party congratulate himself for no reason when he knew the news.

Sure enough, before Wu Qian could speak, the other party continued: "At the same time, I heard a very regrettable news, a friend from the Environmental Protection Bureau said that ThyssenKrupp's factory in California was complained by local residents, saying that it had caused damage to the surrounding environment, and I am afraid it would ......."

Speaking of this, Roston paused, and when he saw that Wu Qian did not pick up the stubble, he continued: "I'm afraid that I will face an inspection, you can take advantage of the fact that the Environmental Protection Bureau has not yet taken action to see what went wrong, but don't say that I told you." ”

Minister Ross said very politely, congratulatory and secretly reminded, a very good person.

Wu Qian's heart was tired for a while, there are thousands of coincidental things in the world, and he didn't believe that the complaint of the ThyssenKrupp factory was a coincidence.

"I just bought ThyssenKrupp here, and before the handover was completed, something happened to the factory in the United States, and it was just aimed at me, what kind of hairy ......" Wu Qian thought in his heart.

"A small factory also bothered the minister to call me personally, bothered, Minister Ross will wait for a while to meet in the United States and then thank you. ”

When Ross heard Wu Qian's words, he nodded with a smile, his purpose was to bring Wu Qian to the United States to meet and talk about things, and half of the purpose had been achieved.

Where there are any complaints, let alone inspections, all of this is just his own compilation, but if Wu Qian doesn't give him face, he can completely turn the matter of Du Su into facts.

At least one of what Ross said was true, he did have friends who worked in the EPA, and they were not low-level.

For some sectors in the United States, it is simply too easy to control the enterprises on their own soil.

"It can be seen that Mr. Wu is very busy, and after Mr. Wu comes to the United States, we will meet and talk again, so we won't bother. ”

Secretary Ross concluded his remarks.

Wu Qian wanted to end this terrible call, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he asked, "Wait, Minister Ross, is Frankfurt Airport your man?"

Coldly, Wu Qian asked about being monitored.

Minister Ross was stunned by the question that the eight poles couldn't be beaten, and his two very delicate beards trembled slightly, not understanding the meaning of Wu Qian's words at all.

"Mr. Wu, I don't understand what you mean, I'm sorry...... What happened to Frankfurt Airport?"

Wu Qian held the phone and was silent for a while, judging by judgment, he knew that even if the person in the dark was staring at him, it must not be Minister Ross's person, he laughed and said: "I encountered a little unpleasant thing at Frankfurt Airport, since it is not Minister Ross's person, haha, goodbye." ”

After speaking, before Wu Qian hung up the phone, he deliberately took the phone away, and then muttered loudly: "Who is tracking and monitoring ......?"

With that, he pressed the hang up button.

Minister Ross really heard Wu Qian's muttering, and now it was his turn to mutter.

"Wu Qian was tracked and monitored in Germany? Who could have done it......"

A simple sentence made Minister Ross frown, because Wu Qian was suspicious of him before, and since he would arouse Wu Qian's suspicion, it must be implicated.

Puzzled, Minister Ross called one of his subordinates into the office and instructed him to find out which departments Wu Qian had recently intersected with.

After talking on the phone, Wu Qian didn't immediately walk back into the crowd, he stood in the corner and thought for a while, and only walked back to the crowd after making sure that there was no problem with the call with Minister Ross just now.

"Wu, are you okay?"

Rapo Elkan could see that Wu Qian's mood had changed after answering the phone.

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing important, Erkan, aren't you going to be busy? You go first, I'll talk to the professor about history, I'm afraid you're not interested." ”

Rapo Elkann nodded, and said as he walked: "I really have to go, otherwise I won't be able to make it in time for the evening drinking party, professor, when I go back, I will arrange a plane to come, just tell me when you want to go back to Florence." ”

The two sides said goodbye, and Wu Qian watched Rapo Elkann sit on Rand Cruiser, and he beckoned Professor Camilo into the cinema.

"Professor, please inside. ”

The two chatted for a long time in the cinema, and Wu Qian learned about the rise and fall of the Medici family legend, which was bumpy, brilliant, and helpless, and the whole process was very exciting.

This is not a boring history class, Professor Camilo has a lot of teaching experience, and he tells a historical story in his own way very vividly.

The ancestors of the Medici family started out as ordinary farmers, and then became rich by running industry and commerce, and the first business of the Medici family was the currency exchange, and then they started in the banking industry, and with the increase of wealth and glory, they became nobles in the thirteenth century, and then participated in the series of government activities, and gradually gained political status.

For most of the 14th and 17th centuries, the Medici became rulers of Lorence, and the Renaissance was fully supported and funded.

Today, the world-famous Uffez Gallery in Florence was once the office of the Medici family, and the collection of more than 2,500 works of art from the Renaissance period is the richest collection of Renaissance art in the world.

Today, many of the most famous paintings and sculptures are in the collection of the Medici family, which was also made for the members of the Medici family, who supported the artistic essence of a city and influenced the Renaissance throughout Europe.

……

There are a lot of anecdotes of all kinds, but unfortunately, in the end, Wu Qian did not know the slightest bit of information about the key, during which he had a vague guidance, and it could be seen that Professor Camilo did not hide anything, but there was no relevant news.

This made Wu Qian feel a little frustrated.

The conversation continued until dinner time, when Wu Qian and his entourage had eaten in the canteen where the laborers ate, and then Wu Qian sent Professor Camilo to the hotel.

When the professor got out of the car, Wu Qian sat in the car and suddenly asked: "Professor Camilo, thank you for your explanation today, let me hear many wonderful stories, I want to ask, is there a story related to a key in the history of the Medici family?"

Wu Qian simply asked directly.

Professor Camilo, who had already stepped out of the car, paused, turned around and scratched his head, and whispered, "The story related to the key?"

Frowning slightly, Professor Camilo paced back and forth, thinking seriously.

Wu Qian didn't urge, he quietly watched the change in Professor Camilo's facial expression, and simply got out of the car and stood at the door of the hotel.

Professor Camilo scratched his thinning hair back and forth, a mess.

"Key...... Key...... Hmm, castle keys, art museum keys, vault keys, bank keys, I don't seem to have heard any anecdotes about keys......"

"Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, it seems that my knowledge is not deep enough, I really can't remember the history of the Medici family related to the key, I'm really sorry, I'll go and ask my teacher later, if there is really a story related to the key, my teacher will definitely know." ”

Speaking of his teacher, Camilo had a look of admiration on his face, so much so that he didn't notice the change in Wu Qian's face at all.

The afternoon conversation was very merry, and Wu Qian did not calm down and ponder it, but as Professor Camilo listened to it, he realized that he had overlooked one thing.

The Medici family made their way into the banking industry, and such a beautiful key may have some connection with the bank.

"Professor Camilo, don't bother your teacher, I'm just curious. Solan's conditions are relatively difficult, and the hotel invested by your student Elkan has not yet been completed, so I can only grieve you to stay in the hotel first, and it is not too early, I will leave first. ”

Wu Qian didn't ask any more questions, he already had a new direction of investigation.

Professor Camilo said no, he took a large amount of money from Rapo Elkan for his business trip, not counting the minor problems of food and residence.

"Mr. Wu, I don't know if you still need to know anything, if not, ......"

Wu Qian suddenly smiled and said: "The professor's explanation is very exciting, I am very satisfied, this trip is troublesome to you." ”

"Don't bother, Mr. Wu, then I'll fly back to Florence tomorrow morning. ”

Professor Camilo said with a smile that he was very happy that he earned 50,000 euros on a mission, and he was very happy that he could earn so much in half a year's class hours.

The two sides said goodbye, Wu Qian sat back in the car, and after returning to the temporary house of the military factory, he immediately dialed a phone call to Yao Xinlu.

"Lulu, give the coat of arms you traced to Rosalind, and ask her to go to various banks in Europe to ask, I think there may be an answer!"
