Chapter 337: Jell ~ Mason!
Kneel and beg for support. โฎ โฎ the top โฎ โฎ said, thank you for the boat.
~~~~~~~~~~
A day later, Zhou Quanbei flew north to Hong Kong Island, where he joined Gong Xue and boarded a flight to Amsterdam.
In the past, although Zhou Quanbei was also the major shareholder of Weir Company, in terms of acting, Zhou Quanbei has always wanted to jump out of this circle and do it himself, but ~, now that there is a foundation in Africa, Zhou Quanbei has seen it more openly.
Eating alone alone may be a temporary benefit, but it will never last long.
If you want to go further, in many things, Zhou Quanbei also needs to rely on the influence of these ancient and huge families.
The board meeting was held in a private villa in Amsterdam, and it was all familiar old faces of Zhou Quanbei.
Including the Mason family's principals Jell ~ Mason, Eisenberg Sr., David ~ Weir, Richardson, and the rest are all small shareholders who are not ranked in the ranks, and their influence is minimal.
In the past, Zhou Quanbei may not have taken these small shareholders seriously, but at this time, it is different.
The screws are small, but in many things, everyone, has a role for everyone.
Therefore, for everyone, Zhou Quanbei did not favor one over the other, but smiled and asked for warmth one by one.
After a simple greeting, Jer~Mason directly raised the issue, this is his people, from a team of Japanese scientific expedition members got the news, in the waters near the Arctic Ocean, they found a large ship from the 18th to 19th centuries, loaded with gold coins and diamonds, stuck in the iceberg.
It's a pity that several members of the scientific expedition team did not find out what kind of ship this was, and sent some vague messages, so they could no longer be contacted.
This matter quickly spread, and several large salvage companies, including Japan and Midi, were very interested in it.
Based on the available information, the Mason family's expert group deduced that it was likely to be a pirate ship of Spanish immigrants, and although the identity of the ship's owner could not be determined, several Midi and Japanese expeditions had already set off for the area where the incident occurred.
"Guys, I think this might be an opportunity. We have limited information, but the Chinese and Japanese have more accurate information. So, I don't want to let go of this opportunity. After Jer~Mason finished speaking, his big eyes looked at everyone with bright eyes.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help frowning slightly, there was no accurate information, so he still went to make hair, which was not in line with the rigorous character of the Germanic people.
But Gong Xue glanced at Zhou Quanbei and hinted that Zhou Quanbei should not be in a hurry.
Soon, there was a lot of discussion, but everyone was a little interested in this kind of ethereal and inconclusive thing, and the opposition suppressed the echo.
After all, sending out an expedition means a huge expense, and if there is no gain, these things will be evenly distributed among the people here.
Jer~Mason couldn't help but be a little anxious, and simply gritted his teeth, "Gentlemen, please believe me, this is really an opportunity for us." โ
Gong Xue whispered in Zhou Quanbei's ear: "I have also heard about this matter, perhaps, it is really an opportunity." โ
Zhou Quanbei also understood what Gong Xue meant, if there is no chance, this is a good time to ease the relationship with the Mason family.
Thinking about it, Zhou Quanbei smiled and said: "Gentlemen, in this world, apart from God doing things 100% correctly, where else can there be a 100% success rate." Since both the Chinese and the Japanese have gone, I think this may really be an opportunity. I agree with Mr. Jer~Mason. โ
Jer~Mason couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Zhou~, thank you, God will bless us." โ
Zhou Quanbei smiled and lit a cigarette.
Soon, Gong Xue also made a statement, naturally standing on Zhou Quanbei's side.
Davy~Weir and Richardson didn't dare to go against the will of their eldest brother Zhou Quanbei, so they hurriedly expressed their attitude.
Seeing this, old Eisenberg also smiled, "It's okay, wealth is in danger, let you little guys take a risk." โ
Seeing that the bigwigs have expressed their attitudes, the small shareholders have no choice but to nod their heads in agreement, but there are still a lot of reluctance, but this is no longer important.
Soon, the process was up and running.
Two days later, Jรถr~Mason directly brought in an official German expedition ship by means, the ship was very large, there were ice breakers in the front and rear, and the equipment was very advanced.
As for manpower, on the side of the Mason family, Jer~Mason personally led the team, Zhou Quanbei didn't want to make peace, but Gong Xue whispered a few words in Zhou Quanbei's ear.
Zhou Quanbei suddenly understood, why, Jer~Mason would be so anxious, and personally went into battle to perform, feelings, this guy, in terms of family, has encountered a lot of trust crisis.
Of course, it is better to share prosperity than to share hardship.
Even for the sake of taking advantage of the favor of Jer~Mason, Zhou Quanbei also boarded the ship with a smile.
The equipment of this ship is extremely advanced, and the manpower is full of high-end talents dug by Jer~Mason, and in terms of safety, there should be a guarantee.
Although Zhou Quanbei was a human being, he had never been to the Arctic Ocean, so he regarded it as a vacation tour.
Gong Xue also has this meaning.
There are about 150 people on the ship, of which there are more than 100 people, all of whom are from the Mason family, and the rest are the old Eisenberg, David ~ Weir, Richardson and other small shareholders.
However, he was originally planning to travel, and Zhou Quanbei did not plan to mix too much, so naturally he did not need too many people.
After a day's rest, the expedition ship departed directly from the port of Amsterdam and headed northeast.
~~~~~
Although it was still spring, the weather began to get cold after a few days of the boat's journey, and ice floes could already be seen on the sea.
In the past few days, Zhou Quanbei has eaten and laughed with Jer~Mason every day, and the two have also become familiar with each other.
Although Jer~Mason is arrogant on the outside, in fact, after getting acquainted with him, he will find that he is a very interesting guy.
On the surface, he loves football, but in his bones, he prefers beautiful women.
In the famous football club Munich 1860, he also has a considerable stake.
"Zhou~~, do you think we can make it? Why, I don't have any confidence in my heart? "Jer~Mason is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, 10 years older than Zhou Quanbei, but in fact, he is far less sophisticated and mature than Zhou Quanbei, who is a man of two lifetimes.
At this time, hearing him say this, Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, "Jer, if you say this, it will be difficult for me to answer you." However, since both the Chinese and the Japanese have gone, I think they will not be untargeted. โ
Of course, Jer~Mason also understands this, but from Zhou Quanbei's mouth, he is still a lot more relieved.
After a few days of walking, the weather became worse and worse, and heavy snow began to fall in the entire sky, and the sea was also covered with thick ice.
Zhou Quanbei likes the weather here, it's okay, just brag with Jer~Mason~, and then laugh with Gong Xue on the deck watching the snow, and the small life is quite comfortable.
Zhou Quanbei also learned about the reason why Jer~Mason encountered a crisis of trust, he is a top student at the London Business School, and he has been playing with the sea of stocks since he was a teenager.
It's a pity that in recent times, he has been extremely unlucky, first he was dumped by a French star, and then, in terms of the stock market, he was also defeated like a mountain and suffered heavy losses.
But although Jer~Mason is the son-in-law of the Mason family, the family's rules are very strict, and it didn't take long for his hands and feet to be discovered.
If it weren't for the intercession of his sister's husband, an earl on which the sun never sets, he would have been stripped of his status as a concubine, but fortunately he had been in charge of the family's affairs in the Weir Company, and he finally seized an opportunity, even if it was a little illusory, how could he give up so easily.
Zhou Quanbei was also a little helpless, these nobles who were born with a golden spoon seem to be glamorous, but why not, they don't walk on thin ice everywhere?
What can blood and family affection be in the face of absolute overall interests?
The further north you go, the greater the gap between day and night.
At this time, although it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, the sky was still white, only snowflakes were falling from the sky.
The icebreaker 'clicks' and moves forward with the ice, which is very slow, but it also allows people to see the scenery on both sides more clearly.
Zhou Quanbei just drank a lot of wine with Jer~Mason, wore a thick jacket, and came to the deck to breathe.
"Xiaobei, look, there's a polar bear over there." Gong Xue suddenly took Zhou Quanbei's hand and cheered not far away.
Zhou Quanbei fixed his eyes, and sure enough, on the ice not far away, a fluffy white creature was looking at the sound of the ice breaker here, its body was almost connected with the white world, if you didn't look carefully, it was impossible to find its existence.
Zhou Quanbei lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I heard that the bear paw is quite good, I don't know, what does the bear paw taste like for this big guy." โ
"Nasty." Gong Xue couldn't help but glance at Zhou Quanbei, but she gently leaned into Zhou Quanbei's arms, letting the cold wind blow her exposed hair.
Zhou Quanbei was stunned for a moment, but suddenly found that why Gong Xue kept insisting on letting herself come to the boat, could it be that she~~, she wanted to stay with herself for a while?
Before, although Zhou Quanbei occasionally teased Gong Xue verbally, in fact, he regarded her more as a partner and did not have too many deeper thoughts.
But at this time, Zhou Quanbei suddenly felt that he might be wrong, and he was outrageously wrong.
"Brother Gong, do you know? I love snowy weather, and when I was a kid, whenever it snowed, no matter how cold it was, I would run out into the yard and play in the snow like crazy. Later, when I grew up, I would also have interesting and special feelings for women with snow in their names. Do you know why? Zhou Quanbei smiled faintly.
Gong Xue was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhou Quanbei, "Why?" โ
Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Because, when I was a child, I always felt that snow was a symbol of purity. But when I grew up, I realized that it was not. Snow is formed because of the dust and particles in the air, which are not as pure as I thought. โ
Gong Xue also understood what Zhou Quanbei meant, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush, but unfortunately, she was hidden in a thick scarf, and Zhou Quanbei couldn't see it.
"Xiaobei, what do you think of me? Am I the pure girl you imagined? โ
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, and just wanted to speak, but at this time, there was a huge black shadow in front of him, fluttering and flickering, leaning towards the side of the ship.
Gong Xue couldn't help screaming, "Xiaobei, it's an iceberg." โ
In a moment, the ship's siren began to sound rapidly.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but take a sip, hurriedly took Gong Xue's little hand, and hurriedly ran towards the cabin control room.
