Jonas, who was born in the 80s, remembered most as a child was the army of bicycles in blue overalls.

When he was a child, he often sat in front of his father's bicycle to go to kindergarten, listened to his parents talk about his parents' shortcomings, and was full of longing to buy a motorcycle.

At that time, the scenery of being able to buy a motorcycle was no less than the feeling of driving a big car in later generations.

As for cars, they are something that the vast majority of people simply do not dare to think about.

Because of his interest in this industry, he also learned about the development of the motorcycle industry in China through BMW.

In the early days of liberation, Huaxia's motorcycles were mainly imported from the Soviet Union and the Czech Republic, and in the fifties, the Czech Jiawa motorcycles were military vehicles, and later imported Russian-made Ural side three-wheeled motorcycles, which became the mainstream of Huaxia motorcycles.

In fact, almost all of the Soviet motorcycle technology came from Germany, and after the victory in World War II, they almost emptied BMW.

Even the motorcycle technology imported from East Germany and the Czech Republic originated from BMW.

Under the influence of the Soviet Union, the source of the technology of China's happy motorcycle actually came from BMW.

However, BMW motorcycles are definitely not suitable for introduction to China, because they have been updated for several generations, and since the sixties, BMW motorrads have moved towards upscale.

The same is true for BMW motorcycles, KTM motorcycles, a motorcycle brand from Austria that is not well-known in China, but in fact, KTM motorcycles have always been the Porsche of motorcycles.

They specialize in producing performance cars, which are sold several times more than regular motorcycles.

Jonas is most tempted by the Biaggio motorcycle owned by Giovanne's mother, the Piaggio family, but the Piaggio family will never give up their family's main business.

If you want to acquire, that's even more impossible.

Although the Piaggio family is not as good as the Agnelli family, they are also the top family in Italy, their family was the first in the world to produce scooters, and the motorcycles produced during World War II are almost not outdated after fifty years.

The motorcycle that Audrey Hepburn rode in "Roman Holiday" was Piaggio's "Bumblebee" motorcycle, and after the release of Roman Holiday, the annual production and sales reached two million.

In addition to motorcycles, the Piaggio family also has another flagship product, that is, the Piaggio business jet, which is known as the Ferrari of the sky.

A world-leading motorcycle factory, an aircraft factory with three factories and producing aircraft, their family's strength is far from being comparable to the current Jonas.

Even though Jonas had more cash in his hands than the Piaggio family, he was far less influential.

BMW motorcycles, KTM motorcycles are not suitable for the introduction of China, their prices are expensive, and they belong to the high-end brands in the motorcycle industry.

At this time, if you want to enter the Chinese market, you can only choose the Volkswagen brand, and only in this way can the price be reduced.

In addition to the main brand, Piaggio's motorcycles also have many world-famous motorcycle brands such as Westper, Gilléne, Derby, Guzz, Apriria, etc., and its two-wheeled locomotive production and sales rank first in Europe.

What's more, their product line covers all levels, from entry-level to luxury.

Jonas wants to use Huaxia as his car base and occupy the market there, and he must start to lay out from the end of the eighties.

By the nineties, it was already a little late to get in.

However, in the 80s, with such a large-scale investment, it was very difficult to make a profit in China.

Because in China in this era, it is almost impossible for private individuals to afford cars, and it is impossible to make a profit by relying on government procurement alone.

At the same time as the introduction of automobile manufacturers, the introduction of motorcycle production lines, relying on the profits of motorcycles to feed back to automobile factories, is the basis for survival in the early stage.

After studying the whole plan with Schwarch, Hugo, and Wolfe, Jonas decided to discuss the possibility of building a factory with Piaggio through Giovanne.

But in this way, the Piaggio store is a big bully, and it will be difficult for Jonas to gain control of the cooperative company.

Even though the Hoffman family has a bad relationship with the Agnelli family, and Giovannay is also a good friend of Jonas, Biaggio is controlled by Giovanne's uncles.

Business is business.

So, Jonas was still hesitating.

Instead, Rogers proposed: "We can't get the upper hand in our negotiations with Piaggio now because we don't have enough property in our hands. If the enterprises we control can form a complete industrial chain, at that time, we will not have to rely on Piaggio. ”

Jonas asked, "So how to solve the quality problem and brand effect of the product?"

Rogers laughs: "I have two BMW motorcycles myself, and although they are now focusing on high-end motorcycles, they actually have the basis of a horizontal bar engine, a two-cylinder engine.

China's current economy is still underdeveloped, and its income is limited. For them, what they are pursuing now is to start something from nothing, not from one to two.

Even BMW, KTM's elimination technology, in China, is still a leading technology.

We are now going to cultivate the market in Huaxia and occupy the market, and their elimination technology is easy for us to get hold of, and it can also meet the needs of Huaxia.

As long as we hire good managers, why do we need Piaggio's management skills?"

Schwarch smiled: "Jonas, your current thinking has gone astray, we are going to carry out a complete industrial layout in Huaxia, but it does not mean that we must come up with the best technology at the beginning."

At present, Hoffman Investment Bank does not have the technical reserves in this area, and what we need is to first lay our own processing and management foundation.

Therefore, everything should be based on improving our industrial chain first, only if we have a complete industrial chain and are no longer controlled by others, at that time, we can grasp the initiative. ”

Jonas thought about it, he had always wanted to give Huaxia the best and most complete technical support, but he forgot that the current Huaxia is not the Huaxia thirty years later.

At that time, Huaxia was the world's factory, becoming one of the only two major countries in the world with a complete industrial system, no matter what kind of technical talents and technical reserves were available.

But now, it's still poor.

I have taken into account the cultivation of the automobile industry and the cultivation of the market, and I want to make up for the automobile industry with the profit of motorcycles.

But I didn't expect that even for motorcycles, domestic technology is decades behind the world.

Even if he comes up with the most advanced technology, Huaxia will not be able to digest it for a while.

He nodded and said, "It's true that I'm thinking too much. That being the case, we are now focusing on holding more related companies. Rogers, I need you to bother more with this. ”

Rogers shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about the technical system, and I'm not good at management. Although I can help with the investment side, I still need to appoint a professional manager to take care of this matter. ”

Jonas thought of Ursula, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this." ”

Returning to his home in Lucerne from Zurich, the whole main house is once again enveloped in a strong smell of fermented wine.

To Jonas's surprise, not only was his mother, who had come to help with the brewing, not only his grandmother.

Jonas didn't care, and dialed his hotel in Ursula, Libya.

On the phone, Jonas informed Ursula of the progress of the acquisition in Austria and suggested that he wanted her to get into Hoffmann's investment bank early.

Ursula is not an ordinary staff member, as the main liaison of interest groups, she has a wide range of connections and irreplaceable nature in interest groups.

She wants to leave the interest group, but she can't get out of it with a letter of resignation. She had to train at least a few successors who could take over her work before she could leave.

And the new liaison is unlikely to have her prestige, and even if he succeeds her, it will delay a lot of things.

However, Ursula and Richie have a tacit understanding, and even Richie does not want Ursula, a woman, to be entangled with them for the rest of her life.

Therefore, as long as Ursula cultivates a successor, he will be able to leave Seaman Investment.

Hanging up, Jonas began to make lunch for himself, wondering where his mother and grandmother had gone.

At this time, Emile and Hannah, as well as Nicole, were hundreds of kilometers away on the Côte d'Azur.

The time entered the end of October, and Nicole, who did not have it, finally ushered in good news.

After learning the news, Hannah was very excited, no matter how much she had a knot with Nicole, Nicole now has the fourth generation of the Hoffman family, which is something to celebrate.

In the past few days, Hannah has been discussing with Nicole on the phone about the arrangements during the pregnancy period, and after some discussion, Hannah did not fight with Nicole and agreed to Nicole's idea of coming to Switzerland to have a baby.

However, Hannah does not want Nicole to live in Switzerland all the time, and Nicole's existence is definitely an insult to the DeHertz family.

So, during the time of giving birth, Nicole will be placed in a villa in Montreux on the north shore of Lake Geneva.

The villa was the dowry of Hannah's family at the time of her marriage, and she had always disliked the loose influence of Montreux under the influence of the French, so she rented the house to a hotel group.

This castle-style villa on the mountainside overlooks the entire lake of Geneva and has a clear view of France on the other side of the lake.

Due to its location, the villa has been transformed into an upscale private hotel.

Nicole lives here, not only to avoid the Dehertz family, but also to make it easier for Jonas to come over and spend the weekend with Nicole.

However, in addition to arranging for Nicole to live here, her main thing is to buy Nicole a house as a recognition of Nicole.

And Nicole chose Cannes.

Emile has a villa in Saint-Jean, the most beautiful peninsula in Nice, but Nicole prefers Cannes, where the annual film festival makes her feel closer to the film.

Then, the emir took a look and chose a villa in the garden district of the western suburbs of Cannes.

Located just 100 metres from the sea, on a hillside facing the sea, this villa is adjacent to the villa that Queen Victoria once bought, and not far from the Rothschild family's former luxury villa, now the museum.

With a railway separating the villa from the beach, it's a quiet place and less than a kilometre from the Palais du Cinéma, the main venue of the Cannes Film Festival.

Nicole is very satisfied with this villa, which has a lush courtyard of 2,000 square meters, a beautiful view, its own swimming pool, and the main house is not large, so it is easy to clean up.

Hannah not only bought the villa, but also asked Nicole's opinion and decided to redecorate it to Nicole's liking.

In the afternoon, Hannah took Nicole, accompanied by Calisler, back to Geneva, where she was placed in a private hotel in Montreux.

Before leaving, Hannah said guiltily: "Nicole, you can have a good baby here during this time, and I will arrange the hospital and nurses for you." Leave this kid behind, and I won't interfere with you and Jonas anymore. ”

"Even if I go to Hollywood to be an actor?"

Hannah didn't understand why Nicole was so obsessed with being an actress, shook her head and said, "Yes, although I can't understand you. ”

Nicole said seriously: "Grandma Hannah, I'm not a smart girl, I can't even get into a good university, and if I rely only on strength, I can't be a good helper for Jonas."

Becoming a movie star is my dream and my life's worth of life. ”

Hannah sighed and said, "I won't let this matter be exposed, and this time next year, you will still be able to turn into an innocent idol and appear in front of outsiders." ”

Nicole asked, "So, when are we going to tell Jonas about this?"

"Jonas is the child's father, and he has a right to know all this, and I'll tell him when I get back today," Hannah said. ”

From Montreux to Lucerne, Hannah opted to take a helicopter home.

When she returned home, Jonas was still training at the club and didn't come back.

Hannah went into the kitchen and cooked a big meal for Jonas, ready to compensate him.

She wants Nicole to have a baby, that's what she means. The last time Jonas had an accident, it almost broke her, and she thought that Jonas had a child and care, so he would no longer act recklessly.

It was her personal thoughts, not what Jonas and Nicole meant, so she felt guilty in her heart.

However, she has no regrets. Even if she had to choose again, she would choose to do so, just to add an heir to the Hoffman family.

Although the appearance of an illegitimate child would damage Jonas's reputation, it was not worth mentioning compared to the succession of the Hoffman family.

Of course, this is also because Neuer is too young, otherwise Neuer is the most suitable candidate.

That night, Jonas was stunned to hear his grandmother confess everything.

He's only nineteen, and now he's going to be a father!

What's even more incredible is that Nicole even agreed to Hannah's proposal.

At this time, he remembered in hindsight that at the time of Leukerbad, Nicole had almost nothing.

Her sacrifice is big enough......

However, on second thought, Nicole gave birth to a child for the Hoffman family, and she is no longer inseparable from the Hoffman family.

A child, in exchange for the full support of the Hoffman family, can borrow all the resources of the Hoffman family, which is probably more than a loss for Nicole!

(Severe cold, fever.) Gratgy, barely writing four thousand words, a little out of shape. Go ahead and get some sleep and see if you can get better...... ）
