As the sole heir to the Habsburgs and the purest royal descendant, Catherine? Joseph? Elizabeth? The Habsburgs held an unrivalled position of prestige throughout the Habsburg family.

Rudolph's decision did not please her, at least in this matter.

"Her Royal Highness Catherine~~"

"Mr. Rudolph, I hope it won't happen again next time."

Catherine was clearly not satisfied with Rudolph's belated apology.

"That Chinese's request has exceeded the conditions we agreed upon, MSI Technology Group did not give us the opportunity to enter, and the Habsburgs will not allow more contact with that Chinese in the future unless he fulfills the previous agreement."

Catherine's tone was cold.

"Your Highness Catherine, but that would anger the Chinese."

"Provoked?"

Boom!

"Mr. Rudolph, do the Habsburgs need to take into account the faces of others when making decisions?"

Rudolph did not speak.

He didn't want to argue about it.

Catherine apparently did not realize that the Habsburgs of today are no longer the Habsburgs of the past.

The Chinese had the bargaining chips in his hands for the continuation of the Habsburgs, and if he really lost such a partner, he could almost conclude that the Habsburgs would still not be able to get out of their current predicament.

But Catherine clearly did not want to see Habsburg pay.

It's just that the Chinese are too strong.

"Do you pay attention to the sales of that Chinese's products in Europe?"

Catherine's conversation changed quickly.

In fact, she is not the kind of authoritarian queen.

It's just that Zhang Chen is too arrogant, and the Habsburgs are not his servants who call around, but ancient nobles with a glorious history.

"Yes, from the launch in Vienna, a month. MSI has been successively in Austria, Italy, Spain. More than 30 stores have been set up in Portugal and the rest of the country.

Judging from the data released by MSI Technology Group, as of yesterday. At present, the sales of the second-generation Rose smartphone in Europe have exceeded half a million units, and this is still a limited range of sales.

MSI Technology Group has previously closed its online trading platform in Europe, and has not yet completely opened up its sales market in Europe.

But~"

Rudolph was already a little speechless and stopped.

In fact, he also realized that he underestimated the influence of the Chinese company in Europe.

MSI Technologies' success in Europe is no accident, and the Rose phone has been professionally studied, and the Habsburgs, although they do not have a related company, are not short of technicians.

As the world's first mobile product with revolutionary technology, he was somewhat surprised by the conclusions of the Habsburg family's technologists.

"This phone has surpassed all contemporary mobile products, and even Nokia has not been able to produce such a product in five years. Not because their technical reserves are insufficient, but that they have completely deviated from the relevant technical direction.

At present, the closest companies in the world to this field are probably only South Korea's Samsung and American companies. ”

This also means:

It's not just the Habsburgs.

Even companies across Europe have fallen into a trough in this competition, and Europeans have fallen behind in the mobile technology revolution of the 21st century.

This is a very horrific consequence.

"But what? Mr. Rudolph. ”

Catherine also heard something unusual.

"But MSI's portable PC business has brought more influence in Europe, and may even surpass Rose mobile phones, and the current authoritative European electronic magazine believes that in the near future, the Rose PC business will surpass American companies to become the biggest winner in the entire European market."

Rumble!

This sentence really took Catherine by surprise.

Originally, the Chinese just had great potential in the field of mobile communications. But I didn't expect that the other party had really mastered high-end computer technology.

She knows exactly what the rapid expansion of the portable PC business means.

This means that the Chinese also control the main tools that will support the future world economy. Mobile communications and electronic computers.

The future world economy will undoubtedly be the Internet industry ahead of the real economy, and this Chinese has already done this, which shocked her.

My mind immediately thought of what Zhang Chen had said in the UK before.

"The future world is yours and ours, but the world is ours after all, and you are nothing more than a declining empire."

This sentence was said by Zhang Chen extremely strongly when he was questioned by the British media.

But at this moment.

Catherine even felt that this sentence was not just what Zhang Chen said to the British. It was also said to her.

It was quiet in the living room.

For the first time, Catherine felt something strange in the castle.

Disturbed?

It could also be a shock!

The image of that Chinese has always appeared in her mind recently, lingering. This made her a little annoying, but she couldn't deliberately think about it, and Zhang Chen ignored her at the beginning.

As a direct descendant of the Habsburgs.

Catherine knew it perfectly.

In addition to controlling the family, she has a more important mission. That's the blood that sustains the family.

And the premise is to find a man who can help her.

Zhang Chen is undoubtedly an extremely suitable candidate.

It's just a pity that he is an Oriental, and the Habsburgs have a very strict ancestral motto, that is, the blood of the family must remain pure.

But in fact.

Since the end of the two world wars, the Habsburgs have been tormented by this ancestral teaching.

The reason why Catherine became the last direct heir of the blood line was because her parents and earlier relatives chose to marry inbred, which did preserve the purest blood of the family, but could not escape the doom of mankind.

That is the consequence of inbreeding offspring.

Before Catherine, there was actually another male direct heir in the family, that is, her younger brother. But due to close breeding, it died prematurely.

Catherine didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

She needed to change something, something stale and backward, and Rudolph was her staunchest supporter.

"Fritz. You go out first. ”

Catherine was silent for a long time before speaking to the young man behind her.

A look of displeasure flashed in Fritz's eyes, as the second heir after Catherine. Although Fritz is not a direct heir, his lineage and rank far surpass that of the other family lineages, even Rudolph cannot compare.

But as long as Catherine is in power, he will not be able to get the title of heir, which is not a good thing for him.

This time Rudolph chose to cooperate with the Chinese, in fact, Fritz did not agree, even if there were no Chinese, the Habsburgs would not have declined even more. On the contrary, by cooperating with the Chinese, the Habsburgs exposed their hidden power precisely the possibility of losing these things.

Most importantly, between him and Catherine.

It is very likely that they will become husband and wife and have offspring.

"Catherine!"

"Fritz, please be aware of your identity."

"Yes, Her Highness Catherine!"

Somewhat reluctantly leaving the drawing-room, Rudolph's gaze followed Fritz until he stepped out and closed the gilded door of the drawing-room, then turned back to Catherine.

He knows.

Her Royal Highness, the young princess of the family, seemed to have made a decision that surprised him greatly.

"Rudolph, what do you think of that Chinese?"

Rudolph was a little stunned.

"Is Your Highness referring to His Excellency Zhang Chen?"

"He's a nice Chinese."

Very simple evaluation. But it was approved by Catherine.

It can't be denied.

Even if she didn't like Zhang Chen's way of dealing with the world, there was something in this Chinese that could be trusted and feared by nature.

It's self-confidence!

Not again!

It's something tougher than strong self-confidence, and maybe it's called courage.

Not bad. It's courage.

He dared to challenge all the rules, even the governments of European powers, and in the Habsburgs it was already difficult to find such people.

"Do you think he might become Grand Duke of the Habsburgs?"

Catherine's words shocked Rudolph greatly.

Grand Duke of the Habsburgs?

He hadn't heard that in a long time.

Perhaps since the destruction of the last Habsburg empire, the Habsburgs have lost this noble power.

Grand duke!

As was customary in the Habsburg dynasty, as a Habsburg princess, Catherine's future husband would receive the title of Grand Duke of the Habsburgs.

However, now the Habsburgs no longer have royal titles, even Catherine. There is no crown on the head either.

The title of princess was more of a symbolic honor, which was not publicly recognized even by the Austrian government. Although the top of the government acquiesced in such honor.

Of course.

The titles of the Habsburgs have always existed, derived from the most noble things of the ancient aristocracy. It is simply not something that the so-called republican regime can change.

Rudolph did not know how to return to Catherine's question.

"Your Excellency, I don't think I know about that."

"Help me arrange, I'm going to China."

“hat？”

"Your Royal Highness, are you really going to China?"

But Catherine had already turned away, and Rudolph knew that the Highness was showing him his attitude with his actions.

At this time, Zhang Chen, who was far away in China, didn't know that Catherine had already made up her mind.

He's also a little anxious right now.

After a while, MSI Technology successfully acquired Chengji Company, and basically did not encounter any obstacles.

But afterwards, the pressure of public opinion was overwhelmingly pressed on him.

As the president of MSI Technology Group, a large-scale move of the group obviously required Zhang Chen's nod to be implemented, so the media aimed the gun at Zhang Chen as soon as possible.

Of course.

Zhang Chen basically adopts an attitude of ignoring the media, which is also the posture he has always shown when facing the media.

"How? Is it better? ”

He has been lying in the hospital for almost a week.

Hu Qiang, this kid, is also a lot more energetic.

Zhang Chen rushed to the hospital as soon as he finished his meeting at the hotel in the morning.

"It's okay, I just asked the nurse, I can be discharged from the hospital today, I'm almost moldy."

Hu Qiang looked at Zhang Chen with an aggrieved expression.

In fact, what he was afraid of was that Zhang Chen would not let him be discharged from the hospital, he himself felt that he could be discharged from the hospital a few days ago, but Zhang Chen never agreed, and Leng asked Sun Xin to stay here and watch him.

"Since the doctor has agreed, then you can be discharged, I will pay less for the hospitalization fee, remember to pay back the money in the future, altogether-"

Saying this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but set his eyes on the little nurse next to him.

Seeing Zhang Chen looking at himself, the little nurse standing in the ward couldn't help laughing, a little shy.

When the hospital first arranged for her to come to this ward, she didn't realize who she would meet, and the patients in this kind of high-class ward were usually family members of people who were either rich or noble.

But this time it was a surprise.

Because Hu Qiang doesn't have the momentum of a rich and noble family.

It wasn't until she saw Zhang Chen for the first time that she understood.

After leaving the hospital with Hu Qiang.

Zhang Chen did not go back to the hotel, but went directly to the Baihe City police office in the capital.

After Zhang Wenlin returned to Baihe some time ago, he arrived in Beijing again yesterday afternoon as the principal leader of the Baihe City Government.

He will attend a signing ceremony presided over by relevant central departments today.

MSI Group President Zhang Chen will sign a formal acquisition agreement with FAW Group to fully acquire FAW Group's Hongqi Automobile brand at a symbolic price.

As the most famous and historic car brand in China, Hongqi finally fell into the hands of Zhang Chen.

And not so long ago.

The central authorities have also approved the relevant procedures for Zhang Chen to set up a new automobile company, which is a new automobile company that owns Hongqi, the most well-known domestic car brand in China, and Aston Martin and Jaguar, the world's top sports car brands.

Zhang Chen named it White Crane Motor Company, and the company's main car brands will include Jaguar Aston Martin Hongqi, as well as a new car brand jointly developed by White Crane Automobile Company and Ford Motor Company.

In the company's market positioning.

Aston Martin and Jaguar will build world-class sports and business sedan brands, while Hongqi will craft world-class premium models, while Ford and Hakutsuru will jointly develop low-end models to meet the country's fast-growing market demand.

The new automobile company will be located in Baihe City along the Yangtze River, and the entry of Baihe Automobile Company will undoubtedly greatly enhance the city's popularity and economic growth rate.

There is no doubt that there is also amazing potential in terms of employment and driving the development of related manufacturing industries, which is the main reason why Zhang Wenlin attended the signing ceremony.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Chen's car arrived at the signing ceremony on time. (To be continued.) )
