Chapter 1248: The Wittensteins

……

As for the Wittenstein family, these words may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but as long as they are large groups with real international influence, as well as wealthy families with historical background, they are all in awe of this name.

In the history of Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Wittgensteins were one of the most prominent and wealthy families in Europe, with a long history of more than hundreds of years.

The Wittgenstein family's industries spanned steel, railways, tires, finance and construction, and their influence on the world involved politics, economics, culture, philosophy and many other fields. In the modern history of the world, except for the Rothschilds, no family has been so influential and so widespread.

The Wittgensteins are almost a social and cultural icon, and they are also known as the "Iron Empire"!

However, there has never been a long-lasting family in this world, just like the Rothschild family, which was once called the 'Sixth Reich', the Vygenstein family, which rose in the Napoleonic era, also inevitably embarked on the road of decline due to Hitler's suppression.

With the takeover of the family's fundamental business, the Vygenstein Steelworks, by Nazi Germany's Hermann Goering Steelworks, the once-glorious Vygenstein family was trampled under the feet of the more powerful and brutal Hitler.

However, the Vygenstein family has deep roots. During World War II, another branch of the family quickly transferred the family's fortune to England, where a new steel company was established and returned to Germany and Austria after the war.

After World War II, the Wittgensteins gradually faded from public view. From the front of the stage to behind the scenes.

Though. Now the Vygensteins are no longer in the same way as they were in Europe. But they are still one of the most influential of Europe's old families, and the Wittgensteins, who control nearly half of the Arcelor Group, still live up to their reputation as a steel empire.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Liu Dong pays more attention to the reason why the Wittgenstein family came to the door.

You know, after the annexation of Daewoo Steel, Dongfang Iron and Steel Group, which has 6 million tons of special steel, 12 million tons of ordinary steel, and a total of 18 million tons of steel production capacity, is one of the most powerful competitors of Arcelor Group in the international steel market!

"That's right. Chairman, do you know a Western beauty named Helen?"

"Helen?"

frowned slightly, and soon Liu Dong remembered the German female college student who was rescued on the snowy mountain of Tanggula Mountain in Western Tibetan Nian Qing last year!

"I know a girl named Helen, but that was last year?

"Hehe, I don't want to mention it. But with Rudolf Wittgenstein today, there is also a beautiful Western woman named Helen Wittgenstein. And looking at her, she seems to know the chairman, and she seems to care about you very much!"

Listening to Feng Jianhui's ridiculous words, Liu Dong said angrily: "You don't make fun of me!"

However, Feng Jianhui didn't seem to hear Liu Dong's words, and still smiled: "Chairman." I think this Miss Helen Wittgenstein is really peerless. You're really eye-catching. Moreover, the target of the attack is also very good, winning this Miss Helen and marrying the famous Wittgenstein family is too beneficial to the development of GCA Group in the international market, especially in the European market!"

"Jianhui, I see why are you becoming more and more like a pimped bustard now?" Liu Dong said angrily and funny.

"Hehe, I'm not pimping, this is called the rational use of resources!"

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you, you better deal with the Mongolian affairs quickly!"

"Wait, chairman, that Miss Helen has been looking for me for your phone number and whereabouts, shall I tell him?"

"Don't say goodbye for the time being, I'm not here to play this time in Russia!" After a little thought, Liu Dong refused.

"I see!"

"Also, tell Guo Kai my internal phone number, and ask him to call me when he arrives in Irkutsk!"

After saying that, after explaining a few more words to Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong hung up the phone.

"Helen, Helen Wittgenstein! I see, no wonder I always felt that she had an extraordinary temperament at the beginning, it turned out to be from the famous Wittgenstein family!"

Shaking his head, calming down the distracting thoughts in his mind, even if Helen was overpowering the country and the city, Liu Dong coveted it, but it was not something he was thinking about now. Just like what he replied to Feng Jianhui just now, there are more important things waiting for him to do in Irkutsk this time!

Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window, Irkutsk, which was clean and tidy under the afternoon sun, Liu Dong, who had just had lunch, thought of the ultimate goal of his trip to Mongolia, and could no longer stay in the hotel peacefully.

"Shanzi, let's go, go out with me...... Oh, by the way, don't take your pair of sledgehammers with you this time!" Liu Dong finally emphasized.

When he was allowed to come in just now, Liu Shan's pair of big exaggerated overlord hammers almost made the lobby manager call the police as a robber!

"Know...... Got it!"

Although he was a little reluctant, remembering the situation in the hotel lobby just now, Liu Shan reluctantly agreed.

Because of the short time he came to Russia this time and the large number of people around, Liu Dong did not bring the lion head, tiger head and Wukong together, but left them in Ulaanbaatar. When you are ready to return home, take them back to China with you.

Coming out of the hotel, Liu Dong did not drive by himself, but took a taxi.

"Don't worry, this friend of mine is a law-abiding citizen!"

Liu Shan's strong physique, leopard head and eyes are indeed not friendly.

However, Liu Dong's comfort obviously could not dispel the doubts of the bloated middle-aged Russian driver, but Liu Dong was willing to pay a high price and offered rubles that he could not refuse.

"I only go to the city, not to the suburbs!" the middle-aged driver emphasized after hesitating.

"Actually, I wanted to find a yacht charter company here, but because it was my first time here, I wasn't familiar with the situation here, so I didn't drive my own!"

"You want to rent a yacht?" the middle-aged driver was a little surprised.

"Yes, I've always been fascinated by the tranquility and beauty of Lake Baikal, so I came here in the summer to rent a yacht. If you know the place, please take us there!" Liu Dong explained.

"Sit down!"

After nodding knowingly, the middle-aged driver started the car.

Due to the sparse size of the city, the city of Irkutsk is not as close as in China, except for the city center, the buildings in other places are very close to each other, and there are generally no too high floors. In addition, there are many green belts and parks between buildings.

Although it has a population of only about 800,000, not even more than a county town in central and eastern China, Irkutsk is several times the size of the average county in China.

The more you are in this kind of place, the more you can feel that in China, there are too many people!

Because of the sparse number of vehicles and pedestrians on the street, even if the speed was not fast, under the driving of the living map-like taxi driver, Liu Dong was delivered to his desired destination in about half an hour.

After paying a taxi fare of about 2,000 rubles, Liu Dong took Liu Shan into the company, which is located next to the Irkutsk River and called 'Gus Yacht Rental'!

"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Seeing Liu Dong coming over, the front desk lady glanced at Liu Shanhou, who was following Liu Dong with some fear, and said to Liu Dong in a respectful tone.

"I want to rent a yacht with you. ”

"Yes, sir, please come with me!"

Soon, this tall Russian beauty took Liu Dong to a well-decorated reception room, "Sir, please wait, I'll call the business manager to you!"

"Hmm!"

After Liu Dong nodded, the beauty front desk walked out quickly. After a short time, he walked in again with two glasses of white water, and placed them in front of Liu Dong and Liu Shan in turn, "Sir, wait a minute, our business manager will be here soon." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a young man in a crisp black suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and a friendly smile on his face walked in with a folder in his hand.

"Manager Ryzhkov, this is the gentleman who wants to charter a yacht!"

Under the introduction of the beautiful woman at the front desk, Ryzhkov quickly looked at Liu Shan, focused his eyes on Liu Dong's body, and then stretched out his right hand to the other party with a smile, "Hello, I'm Yuri Ryzhkov, the business manager of Gus Company, it's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency!"

"Thank you, my name is Liu Dong and I'm from China!"

"China is a great country, and the Great Wall and the Forbidden City are amazing miracles of civilization! I have already traveled there six times!" As the words fell, a few strange Chinese words popped out of Ryzhkov's mouth.

Despite knowing that this guy is a sycophant and pulling a relationship. But when Liu Dong heard a Russian praise his country, he was naturally very useful.

"Thank you!"

"Let's sit down and talk!" Ryzhkov laughed.

"Hmm!"

Liu Dong nodded.

"I don't know what kind of yacht Mr. Liu plans to rent?" asked Ryzhkov with a smile after the two sat down.

"It's better, of course, but you always have to give me some information, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Liu, please see, this is all the information of our company's yacht!" said Ryzhkov, putting the information folder in front of Liu Dong.

After he opened it, all that appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes were color pages of various yachts, accompanied by some simple textual explanations.

However, during the flip, Liu Dong found that most of the so-called yachts were single-deck small motorboats with a length of no more than 5 meters. (To be continued.) )
