Chapter 211: Two Blossoms
Lin Liang and the others walked around the interior of the Louvre, and came out full of thoughts, only to see Chen Zhenning standing alone at the door, holding a colorful marshmallow and gnawing happily.
"What about the chairman?" Although he knew that Chen Zhenning was like this, Zhang Heng should be fine, Lin Liang still asked anxiously.
"Well, over there. Chen Zhenning's empty left finger pointed into the distance.
The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and they were all dumbfounded.
A tall and handsome white horse, leisurely through the crowd of people, strode onto the steel bridge, two people sat on horseback, Zhang Heng hugged a blonde beauty, holding the reins, with an affectionate expression.
On each of their wings, there was a mounted policeman, carefully escorting them.
In the sky, countless pigeons continue to swoop and fly, white horses, beautiful people, steel bridges, the Seine, and the minaret of the Maurice Hotel in the distance, like a timeless picture.
"Catherine. Lin Liang muttered, and his mood suddenly relaxed.
The last time I met her in Western Australia, the boss gained the trust of the Aboriginal people, and laid the foundation for the smooth acquisition of that large mining area.
This time in Europe, I met her again, and the boss should be very smooth.
He also learned about the boss's history from Chen Zhenning, and knew that he was inseparable from this beautiful British woman, so it seems that she may be the boss's lucky angel.
"Let's go, the boss is going to ride back to Maurice, we'll follow. Chen Zhenning licked the thin wooden stick, reluctantly threw it into the trash can, and strode towards the steel bridge, and a group of people hurriedly followed.
In the praise and applause of vendors and passers-by on both sides, Prince Charming and Lucky Angel walked through the ancient alley, and on the front porch of the Morris Hotel, the waiter in a red lobster suit hurriedly ran up and helped Zhang Heng dismount.
Zhang Heng stretched out his arms, caught Catherine who was lying down, kissed her on the forehead, put her on the ground, and then walked to the two handsome mounted policemen who stopped not far away and watched this scene with a smile.
"Thank you two enthusiastic gentlemen for escorting you all the way, please have a cup of coffee, for the beautiful Seine, and for the most romantic of the city. He took out two hundred francs and stuffed them into the carrying bags that hung around the necks of the two horses.
"Thank you for your generosity, you are also a guest of honor from all over France, and I wish you a wonderful afternoon. The two mounted policemen laughed even more happily, took off the standard top hat similar to a cowboy hat, saluted on the horse, and then grabbed the reins of Zhang Heng's horse, and rode away.
In a capitalist society, everyone is equal, but there are always privileges that ordinary people can't imagine.
For example, the centurion card that will be famous in China for the national husband in the future, such as the Crédit Lyon diamond card that Zhang Heng showed before, which is a black bank card inlaid with real diamonds, according to Jules, can only be owned by Lyon customers worth at least one billion francs.
This bank card sent out early made Zhang Heng very comfortable, and the merger and acquisition loan in Frankfurt was handed over to Lyon, anyway, there was no other better choice for the time being.
The waiter, who also received a tip of one hundred francs, respectfully opened the door, Zhang Heng picked up Catherine, strode through the hall, and walked into the elevator.
"Alright, you can let me down, my Mr. Prince Charming. Catherine looked at him softly, "I didn't expect that as soon as you came to Europe, you got the highest-level bank card of Crédit Lyonnais, and it seems that you have grown up again after two months." ”
"I'm here because of a merger and acquisition, which happened to be undertaken by them. Zhang Heng looked at her playfully, "But you're right, I'm growing up again, you'll know right away, we can say it when we meet in Hamsley Canyon, if we meet again, we will bloom twice." ”
"In your words, I'm still a chick, so I'm scared. Catherine deliberately feigned panic and looked at him watery.
This made Zhang Heng immediately transform into a werewolf, rushing out of the elevator and running along the corridor.
Two flowers, uh, is a beautiful saying, but it's a pity that a certain old man used it crookedly.
Zhang Heng, who was trying to implement the essence of the two blossoms in the luxurious suite of the Morris Hotel, was interrupted by a stubborn phone ringing before he could reach the top of the bloom and the mountains were full of flowers.
He pulled out the phone line in a frustrated manner, and then Chen Zhenning knocked on the door.
"Boss, Walt's emergency call. His voice was full of helplessness, obviously really from the boss's point of view.
"Walt, what's the urgency?" After taking a hurried shower, when Zhang Heng sat on the sofa in the living room, his mood had completely returned to normal, and there was no trace of anxiety in his words.
Walter on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, the previous wait inevitably made him think about it, and said with a dry smile: "My friend, there are several good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"If you want to learn Chinese culture, you can learn it well, don't learn that set of empty heads!" Zhang Heng said with a hearty smile, "It seems that you have done a good job, I am in a good mood now, so let's listen to it first." ”
The Walt team did a great job in Frankfurt.
Lulai has been out of production for more than half a year, and the original holding family has been looking for buyers, but unfortunately Zeiss can't look down on them, and several Japanese camera manufacturers have already coordinated internally, one is more ruthless than the other, and the bid is so low that it is scary to death, and this matter has been dragging on.
Zhang Heng didn't know that in another time and space, until 75 years, this old German camera manufacturer with a history of nearly 60 years would be pocketed by Nikon at the price of a cabbage.
Nikon only valued their mechanical skills and mirror grinding skills, and after a group of Japanese mechanics had spent a year in Lulai, Lulai had completed its mission, and was soon resold to a British company, and two years later returned to the Germans, and since then it has been reduced to a brand that is more nostalgic than quality.
After Walter came forward, the holding family of Lulai was like a rain after a long drought, and almost did not make any excessive demands, and the two sides reached a preliminary agreement in only three hours.
As the leader of the family, it is the first responsibility to take care of these people who follow them.
The only additional requirement they made was that no mechanic should be fired.
This is also exactly what Zhang Heng likes, of course, he is willing to promise.
3 million US dollars, the overall acquisition of Lulai, including a factory with an area of land that can be built, all patents, and more than 130 professional technicians and R&D personnel, including their families.
This deal was far lower than Zhang Heng's estimate, and he was very satisfied.
"Do you tell them that in the future we will merge with other similar companies and expand the product line into the industrial sector?"
"As I said, the mechanics' union has no problem, as long as they can continue to do their job. ”
"Okay, how's it going on over there?"
"They're already waiting for me in the conference room, I'll go right away by phone with you, their situation should be worse than Lulai's. ”
In the small land of Germany, with such a super awesome optical company as Zeiss, most of the optical companies established at the same time are difficult to survive, and Fulenda can be described as the only one that survives.
If it weren't for a loyal user Lulai, who needed to polish high-magnification optical lenses, Fulenda would have been like countless industry colleagues, either swallowed up by Zeiss or changed careers by himself.
Previously, Lulai had been out of production for more than half a year, and now it was acquired by the new owner, could Fulunda have a better choice than to follow this old brother over?
In the 20th century, there were two peaks in the acquisition of German manufacturing by foreign capital.
The first time was after the end of World War II, when Germany was in a state of international trusteeship, when many foreign investors took advantage of the prestige of the victorious country, half-threatening and half-gentle to acquire many German companies, and even super large enterprises such as Krupp and BASF could not escape the doom, until Germany got rid of the trusteeship, and was able to return again, but it has lost a lot of high-end technology patents and talents.
The second was the merger of East Germany and West Germany in 89, when many East German companies were dismantled and divided, and the predators were Western countries dominated by West German companies, but Japanese companies gained the most.
Zhang Heng once saw from a certain information that the chaebols led by Mitsubishi have obtained at least more than 5,000 patents and more than 3,000 mature technicians and engineers.
At that time, the East Germany was having a hard time, the countries were merged, but the West German enterprises did not have national sympathy, and used a more perfect market economy strategy to defeat the products of the East German enterprises, many factories closed down, and the workers lost their jobs.
As a result, the Japanese who were waving money all over the world and buying them appeared like a great savior, and the Japanese at this time, rich and capricious, and Western countries were not opponents, and soon grabbed countless wealth from East Germany.
The reason why Japan's manufacturing industry was able to achieve super-fast development in the next two decades against the background of the economic collapse in the 90s of the 20th century, and obtained a large number of technology and human resources from East Germany and then the Soviet Union, is a very important reason.
After a few words of discussion about the integration work after the merger, the two of them, who had something to do, hurriedly hung up the phone, Zhang Heng calculated: "This time, I just made a small fuss, and after more than ten years, I will be cut off from the pot, and it shouldn't be so troublesome at that time." ”
"Congratulations, this time you have finally put your clutches into Europe. Catherine changed into a silk pajamas, draped in a white robe, walked to the living room, first smiled at Chen Zhenning who was sitting in the corner, and then sat down beside Zhang Heng without hesitation, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Two flowers, let's continue?" Zhang Heng looked at her with a smile, his palm reached into the sofa, and gently brushed her upturned buttocks.
"You go about your business first, I seem to hear you and your partner discussing how to integrate German companies, there is a big problem?" Catherine twisted her body, and then did not move, as if she were at the mercy of the devil.
"Yes, as an Englishman, you should know them very well, you can be harsh in your work, but your temper is not easy to deal with, the merger should not be a big problem, and the management after the merger is a big trouble. Zhang Heng frowned and shook his head.
Catherine suddenly sat up and said a few words to Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng didn't understand.
Looking at the smug smile on her face, he finally understood, and said in surprise: "You, do you speak German?"
"I haven't had a chance to tell you, in fact, my ancestor was a Bavarian baron, who moved to England more than a hundred years ago during the Bavarian Civil War, and you should know that European nobles are actually relatives. Catherine changed her English.
"So, you also have the title of baron?" Zhang Heng suddenly realized.
Norton was able to quickly become a high-ranking colonial official from an English hillbilly, and Catherine's family must have played a role, but why did Catherine choose such a person?
"Yes, dear majestic Prince Charming, you now know what you have done wrong, don't you?" Catherine proudly raised her white slender neck and deliberately stretched her beautiful and moving face, "lowly commoners, kneel down and accept the wrath of the nobles." ”
Zhang Heng rushed up and hugged her who was struggling and walked towards the bedroom, "There is an old tailor's shop in the alley next to Morris, when the meeting is over, I will customize a set of noble lady dresses for you, and you will have to wear them in the bedroom in the future, so that I, a lowly commoner, will be more interesting!"
