Although the elder Volando had never been a high-ranking official in his life, and the highest position was only the chairman of the provincial council of Vizcay, this was not because he was incompetent, but because his lifelong ideal was to work for the welfare of the Basques.

It is precisely because he has been in a weak position all his life that he has a keen sense of politics and a rich view of the overall situation. Now Zhou You is not only his employer, but also his son-in-law, from the beginning he ignores Zhou You, and even disapproves of Gracia's relationship with Zhou You. Until now, he has accepted Zhou You, and he attaches great importance to Zhou You, not because of snobbery, but because Zhou Yu has given him a more brilliant life height in the last period of his life.

He now attaches more importance to his own son Bessain, because the Basques, as a minority in the Spanish parliament, can hardly become the dominant figures in the political arena, and the only thing they can do is to fight for more interests for the Basques in Spanish politics.

In other words, Bessain's future life path has almost been set, although he is now a senator in Spain, but thirty years later, BessaΓ­n can still only hold this position, and it is a big deal that he will have the opportunity to serve as a minister in a cabinet for a term, or return to the Basque Country as a regional leader.

But Zhou You is different, although he is not involved in politics and belongs to a commercial company, but because of its scale, this company will have a fundamental impact no matter what country it is.

For example, the company that travels around is currently in Spain, and from the ordinary investor at the beginning, it has gradually become a company that can influence the direction of Spanish politics.

When the traveling company invested 40 million dollars in Spain, it was still an ordinary company, but when Gracia promised to make university education free for all Basques in the Basque Country, the company became closely associated with the Basques, and because of its close relationship with the Basques, the Spanish government began to pay attention to the traveling company.

Later, Zhou You got three gambling licenses from the Spanish government, and invested a billion dollars in cooperation with Sands Group to build two comprehensive casinos in Madrid and Mallorca, and he became the largest private investor in Spain in recent years.

But the matter was far from over, and Zhou You used the Basques to kidnap the Spanish government and fight against the British government. Later, he made a large donation to the Basque Country, and this time the harvest in the United States was voluntarily distributed to the Spanish government, which made him a figure that no one in the Spanish political arena would easily offend.

And his acquisition of 70 percent of Atletico's shares is the icing on the cake of his reputation, so to speak, the foreign investor who travels around the country has no worse influence in Spain than the senator Bessain, and in some respects, even more influence.

Not only that, but Zhou You has successfully passed through his connections in Spain and expanded his development to Colombia, and now, thanks to this huge business plan, Zhou You has become a Colombian celebrity. Not to mention President Uribe, who is close to him, even the parliament is also open to travel.

No matter how much you want to see that councilor, you don't need to make an appointment at all, you can just call to meet him. On the contrary, regardless of the councillor, the governor wants to see the tour, but he has to make an appointment.

This is the power of capital, and it is the result of being good at borrowing and balancing. Of course, at least half of this is thanks to the old Volando, because Zhou You does not have any political sensitivity, all of this is mainly planned by the old Volando's team of consultants, and Zhou You is at most an executor.

Relying on the old Volando, Zhou You successfully got rid of the political blackmail of the British government, successfully entered the chaotic country of Colombia, and now has become an internationally important company, so for the old Volando, Zhou You is very trusting.

With a cost of less than two million dollars a year, having such a powerful think tank has always been the most fortunate choice for Zhou You. The success of this business plan alone can bring more than $2 billion in net revenue to travel around every year, and there is no better investment than this.

Hearing Zhou You's question, old Volando turned around and sat in Arango's position just now, and asked with a smile: "It depends on what your current position is, if it's to make money, I definitely don't support your behavior." Because if business is mixed with politics, it will become more dangerous, and the government will be every four or five years, and the current trick will only become a hidden danger in the future. This is very dangerous for a businessman. However, if your purpose is not to make money, but to expand your influence, then mediating between the two sides of the civil war will bring you great political prestige, which will be equally good for your business, but the risk will increase. ”

Zhou You thought for a while and asked, "Is there a middle way?" ”

Old Volando pondered for a moment and said: "I now have an immature idea, that is, we can contact this matter in the middle, but we can't be in the limelight, that is, the reputation is taken by others, and we only get real profits. But how to operate, I haven't thought about maturity yet. ”

"What's the benefit of that?"

Old Volando laughed and said: "The biggest advantage is that you don't have to offend the U.S. government, after all, to become a mediator is to directly embarrass the Americans." But if we don't get out of the limelight, even if Americans know that you have an important role in this, it doesn't justify targeting you. ”

Zhou You laughed and said: "Then, I hope to see your report come out as soon as possible, although Colombia will not make a small profit, but it is still not as good as the American market, and I will not give up the American business for Colombia." ”

Volando Sr. smiled: "I think so too, because investing in the United States is not only very profitable, but more importantly, at the moment they are the only superpower in the world, and they also represent the mainstream social trend." We can't afford to lose too much! ”

This idea is highly consistent with Zhou You's idea, and although he doesn't mind adding some trouble to the United States, he will never openly offend the U.S. government. That's his big treasury in the future, and of course he can't isolate himself from countless money.

I had been talking to people all morning, and when I returned to my room, I couldn't help but feel a little tired, and this mental tiredness was more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.

However, holding the soft and lovely Zhongge and Zhong'an, all the troubles seem to disappear. "Mom, what about Gracia?"

"They went shopping...... Should be back soon. "Gracia's mother was a typical Basque woman, like the women of the mainland, with an industrious nature and a simple mind that respects men. She couldn't be idle, and while she was traveling around with her two children, she took out a needle and thread to make a scarf for the two children.

Compared with Zhongxuan and Zhongzhen, Zhongge and Zhong'an are really two poor babies. Yan Fangqing and Gracia are typical of two extremes, one takes care of the child meticulously and focuses on the child in everything. One treats the child as a burden and can't wait to leave it alone.

Yan Fangqing takes her children with her wherever she goes, and her shopping is mainly based on the needs of her children, followed by traveling, and she puts herself last. Gracia, however, never cares about the children, always focusing on her own needs, followed by traveling, and finally children.

Zhou You always thinks that it would be nice to neutralize the personalities of the two of them.

As for Paris, this is another Gracia, and it is conceivable that when she gives birth to a child, that child will definitely be similar to Zhongge and Zhong'an.

Zhou You thought about it, and felt that it was still a little early to establish a school in Singapore, or wait until the children could speak, and gather them all together to study and live.

A group of women came back from shopping, but they didn't buy too many things, mainly bought a few pairs of sneakers for Zhou You. He can't wear all the clothes and shoes now, whether in Spain or Singapore, including the mainland, the wardrobe and shoe rack are full of clothes, and everywhere he goes, there is a change of clothes and shoes. Looks like they're ready to get another wardrobe for themselves in Colombia as well.

Long Long bought a wooden mask of an Indian, and some of them couldn't put it down, and he wore it on his face all the time. But when he put on a mask to tease a few younger siblings, after a while, several children were scared to cry by him.

Seeing him run away a little embarrassed, several people laughed, and with the cries of the children, Zhou You's heart spontaneously gave birth to a feeling called happiness.

In the afternoon, Zhou You met in his office with a group of leaders of Valle del Cauca Province, a huge delegation of more than 30 people, including a small number of key leaders and business figures in Valle del Cauca Province.

Valle del Cauca is a city on the Pacific coast of Colombia, with the famous port of Buenaventura and Cali, the third largest city in Colombia.

In addition, this province is rich in resources, not only is Colombia the largest province of coal and iron, but also has two of the five largest copper mines in the country. In addition, it is also an important port for Colombian timber exports, so it will be an important province for mainland enterprises to invest.

They have been at loggerheads with the northern province of Bolivar and want to attract more investment, because Cartagena, in the province of Bolivar, will also be the main investment port for mainland companies this time.

In fact, mainland enterprises have long made a decision about these two ports. Cartagena has a stable social environment and is a major oil producer, so the port will be dominated by oil exports.

Buenaventura, on the other hand, is closer to the mining area and will focus on ore exports and timber exports, with a different focus. In addition, due to the transportation of ore, the inland railway companies will also build a railway here, which will have a positive effect on the economy of Valle del Cauca.
