Chapter 189; The Green Family
European castles, Lin Dong is the first time to see, the Green family also has a fairly large castle, such a castle is also a heritage, the annual maintenance costs are borne by the state, just entered the castle, Lin Dong was a little red-eyed, if he could have such a castle in Taiwan, how good it would be.
'Father, why did you invite that Huaxia man to come?' John Green was very unhappy and said, yesterday he was suppressed by Lin Dong, and he felt embarrassed, and now Lin Dong was invited to his house as a guest, how did he meet people?
John's father, the younger brother of the current head of the Green family, Wilson glared at his son fiercely and said; 'How did you promise me yesterday?' Ah, if it weren't for Tony, you would have messed things up again, and it would have been good if you hadn't punished you, and if Lin Dong hadn't come, you wouldn't have wanted to get out of the castle this year. โ
John shrunk his neck as if he was afraid, house arrest is a very terrible thing, look at his cousin, who is locked in the room every day, it's terrible to think about, but he doesn't understand why the family attaches so much importance to that Chinese person.
Wilson also saw the disbelief in his son's eyes, so he had to be patient; 'John, you are not young, your sister will marry sooner or later, and the future of the family will still fall on you, but look at your current appearance, can you share the worries of the family? How dare you tell me and your uncle to entrust the future of the family to you? โ
This is already very straightforward, John is 25 years old, he has been spoiled by the people around him in the big family, his heart is not bad, he has not suffered setbacks, he is too simple, and he feels a little ashamed to be said by his father.
Wilson, ignoring his son's countenance, continued; Lin Dong is no longer the Lin Dong of the past, his rise was so sudden, all of us didn't figure it out, could it be that when he disappeared in the north three years ago, did he really get a lot of things? But the exhibits he brought this time were more like made in the United States. Wilson felt himself drifting into speculation again, and shook his head; 'Don't think about this, this kid must have an unknown secret behind him, but he has risen, he is no longer the original arms dealer, we can no longer look at him with old eyes, now our family is facing a critical moment of life and death, we must find a strong partner, BEA is eyeing us, just waiting for us to collapse, and the hurricane industry as an emerging force, we must find partners in Europe, with your sister's relationship, I think he will not refuse us, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, So you kid set me the right attitude, and if you mess up, you can roll me up and fuck off. โ
John shrank his head and said weakly; But my sister is already engaged. โ
'Engaged? What an engagement. Wilson didn't react for a moment, then gasped, "Shet, how did I forget this." โ
Some time ago, BEA came strongly, in order to ask for help, their Green family agreed to the proposal of the Hammond family, who have a deep military back, although there was no formal engagement ceremony, but verbally agreed, if Lin Dong knew it, would it still cooperate with them? But what about the marriage contract? Again, this offends the military.
Wilson has a headache now, he hates Lin Dong to death now, can't you show your potential earlier? This Nima has caused them to be in a dilemma now.
'Second master, Mr. Lin Dong is here, and the eldest master tells you to hurry up. โ
The butler's report brought him back to his senses, yes, the boss must have thought of this, and what to worry about him.
In the large living room of nearly 500 square meters, there is a European classical style everywhere, and Lin Dong can't help but look around.
The current patriarch of the Green family, Willy Green, said with a smile; 'Lin, how do you feel?' Although we live in such an ancient castle, people outside say that we can't keep up with the times, and it is easy to forget about the enterprising spirit in such an environment. โ
For the father of his first love, Lin Dong was still relatively polite and polite; 'Mr. Willy, I think it's very nice to live here, always remember the glory of the family, and remind myself not to lose the glory of the family. โ
Hearing this, Weili couldn't help but sigh and said; 'Lin, you and my daughter are good friends, and my uncle doesn't say polite words, what is the Green family like now, I think you have also heard it, there is nothing wrong with the rumors in the outside world, we can't keep up with the times, the family plan ten years ago dragged the Green family into the abyss, as the head of the family, I am ashamed of my ancestors. โ
'Big brother doesn't blame himself, the original decision was made by us collectively, you don't need to take the responsibility on yourself. Wilson walked downstairs to Willy's side and explained.
John Green hid behind his father, not very embarrassed to look at Lin Dong, yesterday's incident made him lose people, if it wasn't for his father forcing him to come, he wouldn't want to appear.
Ten years ago, when BEA was committed to the development of aviation systems, the Green family decided to continue to vigorously develop submarine systems, which is good, and they have not received any submarine orders at all in the past ten years, except for the British military's submarine planning, they have not received any orders.
Uncle Weili, I personally still attach more importance to submarines, but the United States has blocked the sea too strictly, and all countries have maintained a cautious attitude towards submarine equipment, and we can't give up this part because of the recession of the submarine market. Lin Dong said that nuclear submarines are strategic weapons, and few countries dare to openly sell them, and the United States will not agree, and Russia will not agree to it, and even Japan wants to buy nuclear submarines from the United States, but the United States has not agreed, let alone the British submarine manufacturers to sell them.
And we can't give up this part because of the recession in the submarine market, this sentence Weili and others understood, and after Weili and his brother looked at each other, they were surprised; 'Lin, you also have a submarine project at Hurricane Industries? โ
Lin Dong did not hide it and smiled; The Taiwan authorities have placed an order with our company for three conventional submarines, which are expected to be delivered next year. โ
Hiss...
Everyone in the Green family took a big breath and asked with power; 'And what about nuclear submarines?' โ
Lin Dong smiled and didn't speak, he wouldn't answer this topic.
But Lin Dong's confident appearance, where can Weili and the others not see it, their hearts are full of shock at this time, they have nuclear submarine skills, what did Lin Dong encounter? In half a year, they have their century-old strength and technology, if this is known by the outside world, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world, and now there are only a few countries with nuclear submarine technology, they secretly thought, this Lin Dong will not be supported by the Chinese side, right?
The stronger Lin Dong's ability was, the more determined the Grimm family was to cooperate with each other, Willy Green said tentatively; 'Lin, what do you think of Green Industries?' โ
Lin Dong said with a smile; "Green Industries seems to be in decline, but as a century-old enterprise, you have a strong network of relationships and customer resources in Europe, which we do not have in Hurricane Industries. โ
After Weili heard it, he was overjoyed, Lin Dong said this very clearly, and couldn't help laughing; "Our Green Industry's technology is a bit simple, and the research level is also lagging behind a lot, but Xian Nephew has the world's leading scientific research level, and I think we can achieve further cooperation." โ
Lin Dong nodded; Of course, uncle, I don't know how Sophie is doing. โ
In a certain room on the third floor of the castle, Sophie was walking back and forth in the room excitedly, she had already known the news of Lin Dong's arrival, although she was under house arrest, as long as she didn't leave the castle, there was no problem for her to walk around here, but she didn't want to go down directly in front of Lin Dong, Lin Dong was invited by the family to talk about cooperation, not mainly to see her, so she was very entangled, Lin Dong did not have her in his heart? If the family doesn't give her freedom, will Lin Dong still cooperate with the family? These questions made her more and more irritable.
Hearing Lin Dong mention Sophie, the Weili brothers began to have a headache, in fact, they expected Lin Dong to be a thorough businessman, businessmen are heavy on profits, what feelings, all have to stand aside in front of interests, but now it seems that this product seems to be sincere to his daughter.
'Well, everything is fine with Sophie, and I'm worried about my nephew. โ
'My sister is not good, she is locked in her room every day, and she can't even decide about marriage. โ
'Shut up. Wilson glared at his son behind him, this unlucky boy is really not successful enough, and there is a lot of failure.
Lin Dong didn't show much emotion and said lightly; "So that's the case, they're all engaged, hehe, then I'll congratulate Mr. Mighty on getting a good son-in-law." โ
Lin Dong's reaction made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but then they suddenly became anxious.
It was at this moment that Rost spoke; 'Lin, it's not early, three hours later, it's the appointed time with Thales' General Staff. โ
Hiss ยท ยท
Mighty hurriedly said; 'Lin, Sophie's affairs are up to her, and as for the marriage contract, it's just a verbal agreement, so you don't have to worry too much. โ
Where does the power matter now Lin Dong is not putting smoke bombs, now the British military industry is facing all kinds of difficult situations, if Lin Dong wants to seek cooperation, it is very much more than the military industry enterprises will be very happy, and Thales is one of them, they are facing the embarrassing situation of being acquired by BEA, if it is not for the opposition of the Ministry of Defense, there is no Thales now.
Lin Dong looked at Weili playfully and did not speak.
In desperation, he said to his nephew John; 'Tell your sister to come down.' โ
John had a very good relationship with his sister, and he was very tired of his sister's arrogant attitude of the betrothed partner, and when he saw his uncle compromise, he immediately ran upstairs happily.
