Chapter 123: It's Not a Fuel-Efficient Lamp
"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey! Centaurs! Filthy pigs! Baroness Claraus, who sat in the other corner of the banquet, cursed incessantly. She's going crazy!
was stirred up by Fang Mingyuan like this, not only was she not able to get in touch with Old Johnny, but she lost face in front of Old Johnny and Aurela, the dignified baroness of the British Empire, and she was famous for discriminating against yellow people and was dumbfounded by a young man of yellow race, if this is spread, I don't know how many people will gloat!
Robert sat thoughtfully on the sidelines, as a member of the board of directors of the Maritime Association, his most important task was naturally to promote the normal and healthy development of the Finnish maritime industry. With the saturation of shipping routes between Europe and the Americas, the Finnish shipping industry has actually reached a bottleneck. If you want to have large-scale development, there is no longer a larger market. And today's meeting with Fang Mingyuan suddenly made him realize that maybe Huaxia is a very haode market.
Aurela admires Fang Mingyuan so much, there must be a deep-seated reason behind it. Otherwise, as the president and CEO of Nokia Group, he is busy with everything every day, how can he have the leisure to accompany someone who has nothing to do with himself or Nokia Group. And Robert could see it, "Orila's words are quite protective of Fang Mingyuan!" And Old Johnny's attitude towards Fang Mingyuan is also a little extraordinary.
Although Robert was still sitting next to Baroness Claraus, he was thinking about when he would contact Fang Mingyuan again. China's economic development has been rapid in recent years, and a large number of foreign-funded enterprises have invested in China. Most of these companies need to import raw materials from abroad and then ship finished products from China, if Finnish shipping companies can break into this market...... Robert involuntarily clenched his fists.
"Robert: Are you listening to me?" Baroness Claraus's cold, disgruntled voice rang out.
Robert raised his head and said quietly: "You said so many things, what is your purpose?" ”
Baroness Clarus gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, for revenge!" I'm going to make that yellow monkey understand that this is not the place for him to be presumptuous! ”
Robert sighed lightly in his heart, "This is not where you Baroness Claraus can be presumptuous. Fang Mingyuan had Orila by his side, if Baroness Claraus wanted to use force to retaliate against Fang Mingyuan, it would only cause more trouble!
"Well, Baroness Claraus, what do you want to do" That's your freedom, but I want to remind you that this is Finland" is not England, and the police of our country will not care if you are a British nobleman, they will only enforce the law! Robert looked at his watch and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I still have some important things to deal with, I have to go first!" ”
Without waiting for Baroness Claraus to reply, "Robert has bowed slightly, and strode out of the place.
"Coward! Coward! Baroness Claraus scolded in her heart, but she was helpless in the face of Robert's departure.
Although there was an episode of Baroness Claraus in the middle, Fang Mingyuan's trip to the dinner was quite smooth. However, after returning to Nokia's headquarters, Fang Mingyuan still instructed Lin Rong to investigate the background of this Baroness of Clarus.
Fang Mingyuan stayed in Finland for another three days, and during these three days, Fang Mingyuan visited all aspects of Nokia's headquarters and also conducted on-the-spot inspections in Nokia's mobile phone assembly workshop. Several in-depth discussions were held with senior leaders of the Nokia Group. Fang Mingyuan's long-term vision for the future development of mobile phones "makes these high-level people of Nokia Group also deeply admire." In particular, Fang Mingyuan's "maverick" in the design of mobile phone styles has made the relevant departments of Nokia Group like a treasure.
There is no banquet in the world, and Fang Mingyuan naturally cannot stay in Finland for a long time After three days, Fang Mingyuan and his party embarked on the return journey back to China.
Most of the directors of Aurela and Nokia Group, as well as John Sr. and Qi Weiqiang, were seen off at the airport.
With the stepping stone of Old Johnny, Qi Weiqiang and his entourage naturally met with the relevant people of the Finnish shipping company smoothly, and officially received a reply from the Finnish shipping company and will start business negotiations with them. Moreover, Old Johnny also arranged a lodging for them near the headquarters of the Finnish shipping company, although it was said that it was nominally to facilitate negotiations, but in fact it was also vaguely intended to protect them.
After all, this is Europe, and they are undoubtedly weak compared to the shili of Baroness Claraus. Although old Johnny didn't think that Baroness Claraus had the courage to break the saint and sink the boat, and did anything excessive in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, but since he wanted to please Fang Mingyuan and Orila, he simply did a full set!
Although three days was not enough time for the two sides to reach an agreement quickly, after exchanges between the two sides, Old Johnny believed that "the East China Shipyard represented by Qi Weiqiang has more complete shipbreaking facilities and aftermath capabilities than the Frese shipyard under the name of Baroness Claraus."
A 10,000-ton cargo ship "is not only a large number of high-quality steel plates and those equipment that can be reused, in the process of dismantling, it will also produce a large amount of garbage, oil pollution, waste, if not fully treated, it will affect the environment of the shipbreaking location." As a seafaring country and a country that has participated in relevant international conventions, Finland's own laws are very complete, and Finnish shipping companies must also take into account all aspects of the impact when selling scrap ships and dismantling them.
Of course, more importantly, Baroness Claraus pressed the purchase price of the freighter too hard, "Qi Weiqiang's initial offer was actually nearly five percent higher than the initial offer of the Frese shipyard!"
Taken together, John Sr. was naturally inclined to sell the two freighters to the East China Shipyard, which would not only recover more money, but also be less likely to be criticized in terms of environmental protection.
However, Baroness Claraus is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in the past three days, she has also been constantly lobbying the top management of the Finnish shipping company, and has also raised the purchase price. In this acquisition war, it is difficult to say who will laugh at Zuihou in the end.
The plane rose into the air and stabilized, everyone loosened their seat belts, and the service staff on board brought coffee and tea to everyone.
Fang Mingyuan took out a stack of materials from the briefcase on the side, which was given to him by Orila and Old Johnny when he was about to get on the plane.
Fang Mingyuan only glanced at it a few times, and it was already clear in his heart that this was a detailed information about Baroness Claraus. Compared to the one he asked Lin Rong to collect, "It's much more detailed." Even Baroness Claraus's measurements are listed.
"Baroness Serena Augustus Clauss, hereditary nobleman, hehe, it's not small!" Fang Mingyuan sneered. This is what he didn't expect, this woman is not only a real British nobleman, but also a hereditary nobleman!
Fang Mingyuan patted his head, "He can't remember a little clearly", when did the British government carry out the draft change of the House of Lords. According to British law, the 700 or so seats in the House of Lords are owned by British nobles" This Baroness Claraus, although she is only a baron, may also have a place in the House of Lords. But Fang Mingyuan remembered that it should have been around 2,000 years ago, the British government would promote political reform of the House of Lords, but the result of the change was ......
Fang Mingyuan shook his head, he was a little far away!
Baroness Claraus owned a large part of Upper Land in Wales, England, "with two factories and three trading companies, and the Frese shipyard had only recently been acquired by her, with a total asset of about 50 million pounds. Fang Mingyuan was slightly stunned, this asset, if converted into US dollars, is also hundreds of millions of dollars! And this is certainly not the full net worth of Baroness Claraus, many nobles in England, whose largest property is neither the land in their name, nor all the businesses, but the family's collection!
As the empire on which the sun never sets, Britain has colonies all over the world, and has looted a huge number of cultural relics and antiques from all over the world, many of which are even rare treasures, and their value is completely incalculable!
Although these things are generally passed down from generation to generation in aristocratic homes as heirlooms, in recent years "there has been no shortage of British aristocrats selling these collections in the market in exchange for money."
In the material, the influence of Baroness Claraus in the British aristocratic circle is emphatically mentioned, and Baroness Claraus's grandfather, who is still alive today, the seventy-three-year-old earl of England, the Earl of Whitehead: her two uncles, Viscount Yolanta and Earl Wilcotez: she also has three uncles and two uncles, who are also considered English nobles "nothing but knights."
The information is very detailed, and Fang Mingyuan is dizzy, if you count the relatives of Baroness Claraus, there are nearly twenty British nobles, five of whom are still earls.
This can be said to be quite a considerable shili in the UK!
In Zuihou, Fang Mingyuan noticed that someone used a red pen to draw a heavy line under the words discrimination against yellow people. This made Fang Mingyuan's brows frown, racist people can be said to be the most troublesome type of people on this shijie, it is more annoying than sexism, national discrimination, and religious discrimination!
Looking at Xiangxia again, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help blurting out: "It turned out to be the daughter of a tomb robber!" ”! ~!
