"Boss, the court has just pronounced the verdict, and Huang Yulang was sentenced to three years and one month in prison, which is five years and two months lower than the first trial. ”

"If you want me to say, boss, you shouldn't let him go, this kind of person should teach him a deep lesson. ”

"The lesson is deep enough. ”

In order to pay Azhi compensation, he sold almost everything he could, and even if he came out of prison in the future, it would be difficult to make a comeback. ”

"He deserves it, who made him say that about Sister Zhi. ”

"Hehe, why didn't I know that you had such a good relationship with Ah Zhi?"

"There's a lot you don't know, hmph, I won't tell you, I'm out to work. After saying that, Ouyang Yaqing turned around and went out.

"Hehehe. Wei Xiong shook his head and chuckled, and re-approved the papers, but it didn't take long for the door to open again.

"Click. ”

"What's the matter?" it was still Ouyang Yaqing who came in.

"I have just received a document from the Portuguese and Macao governments that the Portuguese government will award you the 'Cross of Merit Medal', saying that it is in recognition of your contribution to Macao's television industry. ”

"When?" Wei Xiong reacted flatly, this kind of recognition that didn't require money was really not attractive to him.

But then again.

This kind of honorary title is a concrete embodiment of social status, and it is still somewhat useful, at least it looks good when put on display.

"On the 3rd of next month, the Governor of Macao will personally award you a medal. ”

"Well, just let me know in advance. ”

"In half an hour you should be at the airport. Ouyang Yaqing reminded her before leaving, and Wei Xiong remembered that he was going to the UK in the evening.

Four days ago, he received an invitation from Prince Charles, the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom.

The content is that tomorrow night, Prince Charles and Princess Diana will hold a private evening at their residence, Kensington Palace.

For Prince Charles's invitation, of course, Wei Xiong could not refuse.

And the people who were invited to attend the party were all high-level people in British and European business and political circles, which made him have no reason to refuse.

In fact, he has attended many similar meetings in the past six months or so.

Just half a month ago, he just went to lie in the UK, also to attend a private party.

It was organized by Gerald Grosvenor.

In addition to Ouyang Yaqing, who accompanied him to the UK this time, there was also Zhou Huimin, mainly because Zhou Huimin had never been to the UK......

After a 12-hour flight, the flight finally landed at the London airport.

Since it is a private tour,

Therefore, the British government did not send people to greet him, but Wei Xiong has so many industries in the UK, so naturally there is no shortage of people to greet him.

"Mr. Wei, the hotel has been arranged. ”

"Just send someone to pick you up, you don't have to come in person. Wei Xiong shook hands with Mai Junyang, and then said with a smile.

"How can this work? ”

"Hello Miss Zhou. Mai Junyang said hello to Zhou Huimin again.

"Hello Mr. Mai. ”

"The car is parked outside, let's go. ”

After dropping Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin at the hotel, Mak Junyang left for work, and the headquarters of the British company General Electric is in London.

Although he has successfully accepted General Electric of the United Kingdom, there are many affairs waiting for him to deal with every day.

And Wei Xiong and Zhou Huimin also have to rest.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that he came to the hotel again to report to Wei Xiong.

"This is the list of directors of the company's current departments, and the heads of the most important major departments have all been replaced by our people. ”

"The people Gerrard nominated were all put in some minor departments by me. ”

Wei Xiong flipped through the management list handed over by Mai Junyang, looked at it roughly, and put it on the table: "Does Gerald have any opinion on this?"

"There must be opinions, but just a few complaints. ”

It can be seen that he doesn't care much about the management of the company, he cares more about whether the company can make money and whether it can bring him returns. ”

"That's for the best. Wei Xiong nodded.

His greatest fear was that Gerald would fight for power with him, and although he had an undisputed controlling stake in the company, Gerald had the backing of the British government.

If you really fight with him for power, it will still be very troublesome.

"I talked to Gerald the other day about setting up a new R&D center in Hong Kong, and he wasn't very interested, or even a little opposed. ”

"Oh?"

Wei Xiong's brows furrowed slightly.

The opening of a new R&D centre in Hong Kong would be a big deal for General Electric in the UK, and Gerald, the majority shareholder, would be consulted, of course.

From a business point of view.

Setting up a new R&D centre in Hong Kong is undoubtedly a thankless task, as Hong Kong cannot compare with London in terms of supporting industries and talent pool.

So as long as it is a pure businessman, it will be opposed.

At first, Mak was also opposed, but later convinced him of the reasons for promoting Hong Kong's industrial transformation, who made him a Hong Konger.

"I thought about it for a while, if we can be cautious. ”

"Although Hong Kong is a British territory, it was returned to China in 1997, so the British government should be wary of Hong Kong. ”

"If we set up a large R&D center in Hong Kong, we would have Gerald's support. ”

"I guess the British government will be worried. ”

"After all, General Electric is one of the key companies in the UK Ministry of Defence's procurement list. ”

"And what do you mean?"

Wei Xiong asked lightly as he smoked his cigar.

"I mean, can we take it one step at a time, and don't rush to set up a large-scale integrated R&D center all at once. ”

"Let's start with a project in Hong Kong. ”

"There is an old Chinese saying called boiling a frog in warm water, first establish the framework of the R&D center, and then increase the R&D project little by little. ”

"It won't provoke much reaction from the British government. ”

"Well, you're right, you can't rush this matter. Wei Xiong nodded thoughtfully, in fact, he had been thinking about this question.

It was also believed that it should not be rushed, so as not to give too much irritation to the British.

One of the purposes of coming to the UK this time is to implement this matter with Mai Junyang, and you must know that the construction of the new R&D center has begun.

"Do you have a specific project?"

Wei Xiong paused, and then said, "It's better to be on the engine side." ”

"Yes, the company is currently planning a new generation of marine gas turbine project, the tentative model is CIH08-D1, which has been demonstrated. ”

"Civilian?"

"Well, it is mainly used for all kinds of large civil ships, and the design standard is 25,000 horsepower, which is about 5,000 horsepower more than the company's most powerful CIH07-D4. ”

"Others, such as reliability, fuel economy, life, etc., will be greatly improved. ”

Wei Xiong nodded and said, "This is a good choice, you can run it, and you will first put this project in Hong Kong." ”

Civilian projects are not as highly sensitive as military projects in themselves.

But in fact, many civilian projects can be developed into military projects, just like marine gas turbines, which only need to be modified and upgraded to a certain extent.

It can be a marine gas turbine at all.

Some marine gas turbines are designed to be dual-use.

……

The British royal family has always paid attention to etiquette, and they like this set no matter what the occasion, although Wei Xiong is very uninterested in this kind of hypocrisy.

But in order to develop his social circle, he can only put on a hypocritical face.

The scale of the party is not large, and at a cursory glance, with the addition of female companions, there are only sixty or seventy people. And here, Wei Xiong is not intended to be a new face.

However, no one will be unfamiliar with Wei Xiong, because Wei Xiong can often be seen in the mainstream media in the Western world.

And Wei Xiong's wealth is enough to make anyone look sideways.

Even if some people regard themselves as aristocrats and regard Wei Xiong as a nouveau riche full of copper smell, on the surface they still have to be polite to Wei Xiong.

Or even make an effort to make friends.

And Prince Charles, as the host, also fulfilled his responsibilities as the host, and took Wei Xiong around the venue at the beginning of the party.

introduced many people to Wei Xiong, including many old European families.

For example, the Hohenzollern family,

The family had a very illustrious history and was once the ruler of the German Empire, but after the defeat in World War I, Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate.

But hundreds of years of glory can not be destroyed in one day.

After World War II, the Hohenzollern family returned to Germany in exile in the Netherlands, and now, half a century later, it has recovered a little bit of vitality and has considerable political and economic influence.

There is also the German Kwant family, which is the largest shareholder of BMW in Germany.

Interestingly, Wei Xiong also unexpectedly saw Joseph and Catherine, who were apparently also guests invited by Prince Charles tonight.

The party was lively, with everyone walking around with their glasses in their hands and chatting with people they knew and didn't know.

An occasion like this is not only an excellent place for Wei Xiong to develop a social circle, but also for everyone present.

No one will let go of such an opportunity.

Maybe you know one more person today, and tomorrow he may be able to help you a lot, or even save your life.

Wei Xionggang and the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Covant family, Bultran?? After Covante finished talking, Joseph appeared next to him.

"What are you talking about, it's quite speculative. ”

"It's all related to the automotive industry, and you can see that he's an expert. ”

"There are rumours that he is about to take over as chairman of the board of directors of the BMW Group, so it is really important for you to talk to him more. And you're alike. ”

"What is very similar?" Wei Xiong was a little puzzled.

"Bultland is also a playboy, and the women with whom he has gotten scandals can form a company, and he has a hobby. ”

"What's the hobby?"

"He especially likes the girls on Playboy, as long as any beauty is on Playboy, it will definitely be in his bed in a few days. ”

"It's a bit of a special hobby. ”

Wei Xiong and Joseph smiled in a way that all men know.

I might go to Hong Kong in a while. ’

"What are you doing in Hong Kong?"

"Oh my God, you can forget something so important, I remember I once said I wanted to be the godfather of your first child. ”

Wei Xiong thought about it, there was indeed such a thing, and he also agreed, his expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't react for a while. ”

……

The party lasted until almost 11 o'clock, and after returning to the hotel, Zhou Huimin sat on the sofa with her hands wide open.

"Exhausted, aren't you?"

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm not used to listening to it, it's too much. Zhou Huimin pouted cutely and said in a sullen tone.

"Hehe, the British aristocracy likes this set, it's very hypocritical, and slowly get used to it. ”

"Fortunately, Catherine stood in the way, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to answer some of the questions. "In the evening, Zhou Huimin was with Catherine for almost half of the time.

As the daughter-in-law of the Rockefeller family, she has long been familiar with this kind of occasion.

And there were also some female companions at the party that she knew, Zhou Huimin was with her, but she met a few ladies with good status.

"Catherine often attends such occasions, and of course it's different. ”

"Got it. ”

Although there were complaints in her mouth, in fact, Zhou Huimin was still very happy that Wei Xiong took her to such an important occasion tonight.

"I went to take a shower. ”

"Let's do it together. Wei Xiong picked Zhou Huimin up horizontally and walked towards the bedroom, not wanting to wake up Ouyang Yaqing, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, when the door opened.

"It's noisy. ”

With a mutter, Ouyang Yaqing turned over and continued to sleep, but soon she couldn't sleep, and the moans from the bathroom and the violent impact of skin and flesh clearly came to her ears......

In the next two days, Wei Xiong, Zhou Huimin and Ouyang Yaqing visited several famous attractions in London.

He mainly accompanies two women.

After shopping all the places they need to visit and everything they need to buy, they set off for the Jaguar Motors Group headquarters in Coventry.

At present, the Jaguar Automobile Group as a whole is still in a loss-making state.

But the development of new products is well underway, and more than a dozen new models are scheduled to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in August.

At that time, a violent hurricane will surely hang on the world car market.

Follow the president of the group, Wilk?? After Parady walked around several departments such as the production workshop, Wei Xiong came to a huge warehouse.

At the time of Jaguar's glory, this warehouse was full of freshly produced cars.

At this time, it seemed very empty, and there were only three cars as far as the eye could see, but it was these three cars that made Ouyang Yaqing couldn't help but exclaim:

"Nice car. ”

Zhou Huimin's eyes are also shining.

I saw three Rolls-Royces parked in the center of the warehouse, but these three Rolls-Royces were different from any Rolls-Royce.

The graceful lines, wide body, and noble appearance all reveal a noble temperament.

Compared to it, the Rolls-Royce of the past seems to have become a tractor.

In addition, the three Rolls-Royces are not identical, one is a standard model, one is an extended version, and one is a roadster.

"This is ......" Wei Xiong looked at Wilk?? Parady.

"This is specially built for you by Rolls-Royce according to the drawings provided by Mr. Wei, both the interior and the intangible are slightly different from the production type. ”

"It's unique in this world. ”

"And all three vehicles are bulletproof, with the highest ballistic rating of B7, which can withstand rifle and light explosives. ”

"The bottom of the car is also non-magnetic, so that the gangsters do not stick explosives on the bottom of the car. ”

"It is no exaggeration to say that these three vehicles will provide you with the most comprehensive and safest protection for your trip. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong walked over with great interest and carefully observed the three cars, not to mention the technical performance of the cars, only to look at the models and interiors.

It was indeed not much different from the phantom in his memory.

"It's a lot more comfortable. Sitting inside the elongated model, Wei Xiong couldn't help but mutter.

His current car is also an extended Rolls-Royce.

Not to mention the model, only the size of the interior space and the comfort of the interior are much worse, and there is really a gap between comparisons.

"What does Mr. Wei think?" Paradis asked with a smile.

"Very nice. ”

Wei Xiong nodded and stopped, but he thought of a question: "Will the early exposure of these three cars affect sales?"

"You can rest assured of that. ”

"With just over two months to go before the Detroit Auto Show, the three new models of the Leslayce are now being revealed in advance, which can be used as a warm-up in advance. ”

"After all, we're going to have more than a dozen new models unveiled at the same time. ”

"And Mr. Wei, your fame and status can bring good publicity to these three cars. ”

"When it goes on the market, it will definitely cause a wave of sales. ”

"I think that's what you're really for. Wei Xiong smiled slightly, although he was suspected of being used, he was still happy.

Getting out of the car, Wei Xiong patted the body.

"Tomorrow we will transport these three cars to Hong Kong. In addition, five more units of the extended model and 10 more units of the standard model will be produced. ”

"It's all produced according to today's standards. ”

Wilk?? Parady paused, and quickly asked the secretary to write down Wei Xiong's orders.

After looking at the car.

On the way back to the office, Wei Xiong and Wilk?? Parady talked about the production line in Hong Kong.

"At present, all the equipment of the production line has been produced, and it will be packed and shipped at the end of the month, and it is expected to arrive in Hong Kong in the middle of next month. ”

"If all goes well, we will be able to go into production by the end of the year. ”

"The construction of hardware facilities is relatively simple, but the difficulty is the deployment of various materials after production, where to purchase materials, which components are cheaper to produce in Hong Kong, and so on. ”

"You should have a complete plan right now. ”

"That's true, the specific plan is already being made, and I will have the secretary send it back to Hong Kong later. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wei Xiong nodded and said, "There is also the issue of personnel training, you can start making some preparations in this regard now." ”

"Regarding the training, I have reformulated a training code based on the characteristics and living habits of Hong Kong people. ”

"I think it will help speed up the training work. ”
