Joanna smiled softly, "Giovanne, I think it's time to prepare dinner, and we can listen to Jonas again during dinner." Genius one live three five first 35d1"

Seeing Jonas looking at her, she actually showed a playful smile and said, "Actually, I want to hear it too." ”

Suzanne and Stefan are still young and have not yet cultivated to perfection, but money can attract a top billionaire to marry her third wife, and they have long been millennium foxes.

Jonas smiled shyly and said, "When I came, Grandma asked me to learn more from Aunt Joanna. BMW went from bankruptcy in the late fifties to a world-class luxury car company, and Aunt Joanna played a huge role in it. ”

Joanna smiled, and said with a standard smile expression: "Actually, it's all the credit of Stefan's father, we have been following the business direction he arranged for all these years, and we have been moving forward unswervingly." Please come in, let Stefan, Giovanne and they show you around, in about half an hour, dinner will be ready. ”

Unlike Jonas's house, the Covantes cook their own meals.

They had a team of nearly twenty bodyguards, as well as various maids, and two cooks.

However, in order to show their attention, Joanna and Suzanne both said that they would cook a dish themselves.

Stefan was so happy that he drove away Giovanne, who was in the way, and said that he could take care of Jonas by himself, and took Jonas to visit his home.

In this house, there are pictures of more than three generations of the Covante family, including the mustache head and the propaganda minister.

and Stefan's "grandma", the femme fatale who once fell in love with countless people, the first lady of the Third Reich.

Although she divorced Stefan's grandfather, she also killed six of her own children, including Stefan's own uncle Harold.

However, in the hearts of many Germans, she was a tragic hero who died for her country.

The house is not luxurious, it is also the choice of most German rich people, everything is based on comfort, respecting tradition and history, and the old is beautiful.

The most extravagant expression of the house is the 100-square-meter indoor hot spring pool, which is divided into two areas, male and female, with only a low wall in between.

The low wall is made of a single piece of marble, the men's side is cyan for swimming, and the women's side is white, which belongs to the shallow water, and there is enough area for seven or eight people to lie down and bathe.

The two sides can not interfere with each other, but they can also chat through the low wall, and even if they have a night talk in the pool, they will not be criticized in the conservative era.

"Jonas, do you like it here? We can come together in the evening to take a bath. ”

Hearing his words, Jonas couldn't help but shudder, not daring to show an expression of appreciation anymore. "Let's talk about it when we have a chance. ”

Whoever you soak with, I don't dare to soak with you.

Although Stefan is very self-conscious and has always controlled himself, if he is embarrassed and takes advantage of Jonas naked, Jonas can't stand it!

It's scary to think about!

At dinner, Plov and Kaia Young did not serve the main table, but ate with the bodyguards, and there was also a special accommodation for them.

Only Mikiros came to the table, but she rarely spoke, acting as a transparent person.

But after dinner, she immediately took the initiative, took out a shorthand book and pen, and acted as a recorder of the conversation.

Although Joanna is old, she is still a very attractive woman. She can quickly understand the meaning of everyone's words, and she can always pay attention to the feelings of everyone present, which can make everyone feel like a spring breeze.

Only a woman with a very high IQ and EQ can do this.

Compared to her, Suzanne and Stefan are much worse.

The temperature in Germany is very high these days, and the house is a little hot, and the after-dinner meeting takes place on the lawn behind the house.

The servants set up seven chairs on the lawn in a circle, five in the middle and two in the slightly periphery.

In the middle of each chair there is a small square table where tea, coffee, and fruit can be placed.

Jonas was seated across from Joanna, behind the chairs of the two of them, with Mikiros and her assistant's chairs in place.

Such an arrangement has both an intimate connotation and a hint of formal talks.

After Jonas sat down, he looked around and smiled, "Aunt Joanna, I'm glad you made such an arrangement. I'm good friends with Giovanne, Suzanne and Stefan, and I want to be friends for life. ”

Joanna nodded and said, "Actually, I don't want to make such an arrangement, but today you came directly from Austria after all. I think you're probably more concerned about our attitude when it comes to your entry into the automotive industry, in addition to friendship. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "The attitude I came here today is indeed not so simple. ”

Joanna smiled: "Actually, I prefer this, simple friendship cannot last, only friendship plus interests can make the two families maintain a long-term friendship." ”

Stefan couldn't accept this argument and said, "Mom, why make an otherwise simple relationship complicated?"

Joanna didn't speak, and Suzanne reprimanded her brother and said, "Stefan, you are still too naïve, your mother asked you to learn from Jonas in order to mature as soon as possible." At times like these, what we should do is listen, not blame. ”

Giovanne comforted his girlfriend and said, "When I was his age, I was still stupid. Susanna, Stefan is actually very smart. ”

Jonas ignored their words, looked at Joanna and asked with a smile, "Aunt Joanna, where do you think the friendship and interests between the Hoffman family and the Covant family converge?"

Joanna laughed, "Giovanne's mother and aunt have been looking for you, and a factory in Genoa has left you feeling unsatisfied. At first, I thought you were a bit ambitious, but when I saw the situation in Austria today, I realized that you are really a big dealer.

I believe that there are good prospects for cooperation between you and the Austrian government, but I also believe that the Austrian government will not dare to cooperate with you against our wishes as long as our four major companies exert pressure.

Do you think that companies from other countries do not see Austria's geographical advantages? Do you think that the Austrian government does not want to have its own car brand? But they don't dare!"

Of the 700 auto parts companies in Austria, 92 percent of the parts are exported, except for the export of complete vehicles.

Germany accounted for 70 percent of the exports, Skoda in Czechoslovakia accounted for about 10 percent, and the rest were car companies from other countries.

If German car companies put pressure not to buy their spare parts, more than half of Austria's auto parts industry will go out of business at once.

Jonas smiled and said: "Actually, Austria is not my only choice, compared to Austria, Britain is the more suitable object." They not only have a mature car production system, but also an already mature brand. Today, their Rover, Land Rover, and Jaguar are all unsustainable, and these three brands include a complete range of product lines from civilian cars to off-road vehicles to luxury cars. ”

Joanna smiled: "British manufacturers are just useless chips that you deliberately put out, if their prospects are really so good, you will not choose Austrian accessories manufacturers."

I've been analyzing the core idea of your plan since you politely rejected Marilla's offer a few months ago and only asked your subordinates to negotiate with Piaggio.

Italian cars emphasize handling, miniaturization, and the designers are sticking to the rules. Britain's car companies are even more stubborn, reveling in the past glory of an empire on which the sun never sets.

If they could keep up with the times, almost all of the auto companies wouldn't be on the verge of going out of business. In fact, if it weren't for the support of the British government over the years, their car factory would have closed down a long time ago.

Believe in the sincerity of the Covant family, Jonas, we have no intention of blackmailing you, nor have we told other companies about your intentions.

All because of our friendship. You ask me, where is the point of convergence? I can tell you unequivocally that the point of convergence is the four of you.

If it weren't for the recognition, if it weren't for the fact that you were a young person we all admired, you would have been subjected to intense sniping when you rashly wanted to enter an unfamiliar industry. ”

At this time, Joanna did have the momentum of a leader, and she also grasped Jonas's bottom line well and judged Jonas's true intentions.

But Jonas still had to ask. "So, Aunt Joanna, how do you think we can work together as equals?"

Joanna said: "BMW can provide a complete technical system for mid-to-high-end cars, and I don't care about your company's civilian cars, but for mid-to-high-end cars, you need to use BMW's technology." Equal conditions, I can help you solve the pressure on the side of Mercedes-Benz. ”

Jonas laughed, "It's not equal at all. ”

Joanna shook her head and said: "You don't know, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have set up a crisis public relations department, and after your business plan in Austria is launched and consumes some of your funds, they will put pressure on the Austrian government and make you return in vain." ”

Whether this is true or alarmist, Jonas will not show his voice at this time. "What about Volkswagen?"

"If you want me to be able to resist the pressure from Volkswagen for you, I want you to work with BMW and use the BMW brand. ”

It's all over the sky, it's impossible.

If you use the BMW brand, who is this company? No matter how big Jonas does it be, he will still be choked by BMW.

Moreover, how to calculate the added value of the brand? This is all about taking Jonas as the main wrong.

Therefore, Jonas restrained his smile, shook his head, and said firmly: "I paid for the development of BMW, and this kind of cooperation is not equal at all. If this is the only way to cooperate, I will choose to abandon this plan. ”
