Chapter 483: Hanging Appetite
Anfeng took a moment to rectify An's Industries to make its model more profitable.
It is a miracle that Ann's Industries has been losing money for eight years and has not gone out of business, not because it is not uncompetitive, but it is specialized in some unpopular, difficult or currently unmarketable things. Diseases are the moment of fame in the world, but before that, their operation is very problematic, and the most brilliant superconductors are sold for money; Atmospheric processors, completely loss-making projects, the company also has to subsidize hundreds of millions of dollars.
Now it's on the right track.
There is no need for An Feng to worry about the follow-up matters, his assistant John will complete the work for him, they have worked together for many years and cooperate closely, so there is no need to say much.
John recently took some of his former team members to register an investment management company in Sardinia, and he himself holds a "green card", which can easily travel to and from Europe and the United States.
……
Joanna was given a vacation after a busy period that lasted for half a year. The couple even went to the beach for an afternoon, and when the holiday casual clothes appeared in Olbia in the north, several photos were taken by the crowd, and news websites also reported on the holiday moments of the queen and her husband.
The local residents are not strong in gossip, but they still pay attention to the royal family.
As soon as the series of photos came out, Joanna's unsmiling image was subverted, and her gesture of crossing the street with her husband's arm looked gentle and cute, and became the talk of the residents. Since they have no foundation, they don't like the dullness and rigor of the traditional royal family, which is very good now.
Satisfaction among the population continues unabated.
It's a pity that she has very little holiday time and is full of things on her body.
In the near future, there are plans to visit European countries, and out of friendship or political needs, Joanna will visit the royal families attending the coronation. There are more than 10 countries in Europe, and she will attend them one by one, and at the same time, she will bring cabinet ministers and various officials and businessmen to discuss some business along the way.
In terms of timing, the interval between each visit is about 10 days, and some are arranged. It will be the turn of the schedule every ten days. Ms. Roberts has made a schedule for this and has completed all the foreign trips, which will probably last until June of next year, and basically take her time.
That's it for the monarch of the country, he has no real power, but a lot of activities need to be present.
An Feng didn't feel troublesome, and his schedule was relaxed, so he thought it was a trip to a foreign country every ten days to relax for a day or two, and after coming back to rest enough. Go on a tour again. Joanna is a little bit of a requirement - it's actually a requirement for her costume designer, and the image of being present in public is also important.
When the time came, they set off, and their first stop was Italy, the first country the queen visited after her coronation, which was of special significance because they were the first to recognize the sovereignty of Sardinia. In addition to diplomatic issues, the queen was accompanied by representatives of more than two dozen companies and enterprises to discuss business.
Originally, when Sardinia was part of Italy. There was trade between the two places, but after the establishment of the country. Since Sardinia has not joined the European Union, and even the United Nations is still applying, the matter of customs duties and customs ports needs to be dealt with, and trade cannot be disconnected.
There is nothing special about visiting Wèn Italy, just standing in line to shake hands with some dignitaries, and then stand in line to take pictures. The queen has no real power. Therefore, the political problem is mostly concerned with one or two sentences, and does not make decisions, and the foreign minister and the minister of commerce talk more in this regard.
November and December were more intensive, with a total of five foreign visits.
After the Italian stop, the second stop was to her hometown of Rot. This was also at the invitation of the crown prince. The nature of the friendship was more likely, the King of England received them, and the local residents of London were very welcoming, because although Joanna went to Sardinia to become queen, her homeland was England.
The British are very proud and enthusiastic, and Europeans can still accept this kind of thing of going to other countries to be princesses and kings, because history has been staged countless times, and it has long lost its freshness. In particular, Joanna's popularity is very high, which makes the king also a bit of a frustration that the limelight is overshadowed.
But...... He wasn't very popular in the first place.
Joanna brought officials and company representatives with her, and when the two heads of state were in friendly exchanges, there were often good conditions for business talks, such as the issue of industrial cooperation that Britain was looking forward to, and representatives of Ann's Industries were negotiating with them...... Then there's the energy thing.
Not only the United Kingdom, the whole of Europe is plagued by energy problems, after the popularization of electric vehicles, the consumption of electric energy is more huge, thermal power generation does not belong to the category of clean energy, in recent years, the rise of nuclear energy - nuclear fusion has become a hot topic, Europe's "super grid" needs it very much.
But they didn't say much, and An Feng didn't talk much either, maintaining a tacit understanding...... Anyway, the most urgent is Europe, not him.
……
Approaching the last stop before Christmas.
On the second floor of the Queen's plane, Joanna hugged the computer to read gossip, and her itinerary was reported on the Internet, and she had a detailed exploration of her various shapes, costumes or jewelry, and finally added a line of "I am really rich, and I haven't repeated it once...... An Feng also stepped aside.
He asked: "So much news about the royal families of Europe?" ”
"There has always been a lot of royal gossip." Joanna is used to it, "That's why I have high demands on fashion designers and stylists. ”
"You like to watch it too?" An Feng smiled.
"I've heard of it once in a while......" Joanna nodded.
"Say something interesting to relieve me." An Feng put his arm around her and looked at the various spicy comments on the screen. It seems that the members of the royal family are not easy, and the clothes will be specially mentioned if they are repeated, and the matter of borrowing a cousin's brooch and borrowing an aunt's earrings will also be found out by the sharp eyes.
Joanna didn't—because she was the richest, and her clothes were all disposable.
"Like......" Joanna leaned back against him.
"We are going to Denmark this time, when I was studying in the UK, the crown prince and the princess at that time were very popular, the crown prince was the father of four children, and he didn't know how to beware of the paparazzi in his forties, and he was photographed playing crazy with hot girls in nightclubs, and the princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she can spend money very much, one is immature and the other spends money fiercely, some people on the Internet say that Denmark is likely to become a 'republic' ...... in their hands."
"Monarch becomes republic?" An Feng smiled, and looked at the previous photos, the crown prince was a little white-faced, no wonder!
"The last time we went to Spain, too, the private life of the previous king was hot. Juan. Carlos married a Greek princess who was very worthy of the audience (in those days), but unfortunately the king liked the wild flowers outside, and repeatedly cheated, and the queen's personality was also tough, and it was rumored that she and the king scolded: 'I know you hate me, but it's a pity you can't divorce me!' ’。 What a queen! ”
"Won't it?" An Feng fell eyeballs.
"It's not surprising that the former king of Sweden is planning to 'elope with a stripper who looks a little too much to a distant island and eat coconuts for a living'!"
"What a taste!" An Feng smiled, "Let's find something better." ”
The topic of gossip is really a woman's nature, and she can't stop talking about it.
After laughing enough, the Queen's Boeing plane landed in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. They met Joanna in the palace as an unreliable couple, and now that the king and queen are not young, the two sides met. Interpreter conveys greetings. Officials also shook hands, and the last two couples stood in line for a photo.
The process is basically like this, the other things are left to the officials to discuss, the queen and the princess are invited to attend a concert in the evening, and continue to get to know some local princes and nobles after they arrive. The Queen of Sardinia was a sought-after figure, and her image and wealth became the talk of the town.
The business cooperation with Sardinia is also seen as a promising opportunity for success...... This time, the Ministry of Commerce is still discussing the issue of power resources...... Five countries, the topic has not left the power resources. In particular, Ann's Industries' state-of-the-art controlled nuclear fusion technology.
However, the Ministry of Commerce did not understand the depth of the water, and the State Power Resources Company did not send a representative. In the end, it's still superficial...... Let's talk.
It's easy for An Feng to listen to music.
In addition to the fact that the largest business has not fallen, there is also some success, the state may invest in the local area, Denmark may go to Sardinia to invest...... When the plane returned the next day, Roberts made a report to the queen, but in fact, it was mainly An Feng. He is the Queen's "Prime Minister".
"Europe's super grid, that's a big plan." An Feng had a sofa on his back, his legs on the coffee table, and his image was completely ruined.
Joanna asked: "Is there still a trillion-euro project in Europe?" ”
"In terms of energy demand, it is a must. Europe's electricity consumption is too strong, and the distribution of electricity resources is uneven, which seems to be the business of each country itself, but the EU has linked them together, just like the bankruptcy crisis, and overall coordination is the ambitious development mode of Europe. ”
Joanna understood: "You didn't continue to talk...... Are you hanging their appetite? ”
"Now they are nervous, but they still think they have the chance to win, and when they try to control nuclear fusion and encounter the same trouble as the United States, I really look forward to it!"
Although the United States claims to have mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, which is provided by Ann's Industries in some cases, the nuclear power plant that they built at the third-rate level has to live 1,000 kilometers away. Not to mention safety, even the cost is ten times higher than Anfeng, which is miserable.
Joanna said, "I find it more appropriate for you to be king." ”
"No, no, no, it's still you! I just like to see you starry in front of the stage, admired by thousands of people. An Feng said with a smile.
Roberts also smiled, and the prince was funny at times.
"I can't keep up with your thinking about this kind of problem." Joanna shook her head, "Donna, how is the design problem I talked about last time?" ”
"It's all here, ma'am." Roberts picked up the computer and explained it to her.
An Feng put his hat on his face, and the ladies continued to gossip and Aimei went, and he slept.
Many European countries have repeatedly mentioned the preparation of super grids, but it is very difficult to implement, and now there is a godsend, that is, the nuclear power generation technology of Ann's Industries, the nuclear fission power generation in the past, is efficient, but the danger is also great, the resources are limited, and nuclear fusion is much easier.
European heads of state and governments have asked questions, but there is not much information from the queen's side.
Obviously, it's one thing to visit as a friend, it's another thing to do business. If there is no sincerity, they will not sit down and talk, this is the time for stalemate and appetite, and when Anfeng's large nuclear power plant in Sardinia is completed and they no longer have to worry about power resources, they will not be able to withstand it first.
Anfeng's appetite is to aim at the distribution of electricity consumption for one billion people. Even if the profit is limited, it can generate income for the country, and he is now worried about his personal assets, and he also wants to bring some benefits and changes to the country, after all, it is the land he bought, who doesn't want to be perfect? (To be continued......)
