Chapter 17: Another Royal Family!
In the blink of an eye, it's November.
Looking at the autumn rain outside the window, Wushan's heart was a little irritable. It's been a week since the beginning of winter, and the rain has been falling persistently for nearly twenty days.
In fact, the company's affairs have gradually matured and blossomed everywhere in the world. Almost where there are Chinese people, there is Yan Huang to enter. On the buses of various big cities in the world, all the advertisements were printed with Yan Huang, and all of a sudden, a storm of Yan Huang was set off. The CEOs of various companies have not been on Hong Kong Island for more than a month, and they fly around the world every day.
The second father and father Jianguo got his wish, and with the help of some tycoon networks on Hong Kong Island, they all obtained admission qualifications in Hong Kong Island Chinese University. Once they pass the exams, they will be officially enrolled, and every day they run at both ends of the school company. The second father, Wu Libi, also ran with Hua Jianlan in the world some time ago.
Tomorrow, Wushan is preparing to inspect the world's Yanhuang enterprises.
Through this period of understanding, Daddy Wu Liquan is not very suitable to manage the company. Therefore, before leaving, the two men closed the door of the study for the first time in their lives.
"Daddy, which direction do you want to go at the moment?"
"To be honest, I don't know what to do. But I don't like this kind of conformist life at all. Facing his nephew, Wu Liquan felt more and more pressure, he used to feel smart, but now his feelings are unfathomable.
"Daddy," Wu Shan pondered, "In ancient China, there was a person who was very similar to you. Sima Yi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This person likes to take risks a lot of the time and doesn't like to think about everything in a fool's way. Actually, I appreciate this kind of character, and our previous ventures show that I am on this path. ”
"But the stall is spreading, and the next step is to stabilize our market, stabilize our customers. At the same time, enterprises need to develop, and compared to high-tech, what we earn is drizzle. Daddy, can I trust you? His eyes were fixed on Wu Liquan without blinking.
"Maybe I'm usually cynical, but I'm no less loyal to my family and my nation than anyone else." Wu Liquan was stunned: "What, even your father doesn't believe it anymore?" ”
"Daddy, I'm going to set up a department, and to put it bluntly, it's commercial espionage." Wu Shan took a sip of tea.
"Keep exploring trade secrets, get back one patent after another, and dig up one by one technical talent management talents, yes, what I want is talents," Wushan's fingers drew a circle in the air, "the talents of the whole world." ”
"Whether it's a rooster or a dog thief, or an atomic bomb satellite, as long as it's a talent, I want it. I don't care if you're tricked into kidnapping, but you can't get in any trouble. You want money, give you money, you want people, give you people. I'm going to hollow out the United States, hollow out the polar bears, and drive the island devils to the Pacific Ocean to drink water. ”
Wu Shan sighed: "Daddy, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, and you also need a mercenary-like military organization in your city." I don't care how you fix it, I just need the result. ”
He slammed his fist on the table: "The people of the company, you can pick any one, or you can go outside to find someone, there is only one purpose, that is, loyalty." Inside the company, you need to send someone in to check and don't want a fire in the backyard of our company. The main thing is to look globally. Daddy, I'm sure you can do this well. The family will not forget you, and in the future, the country will not forget you. This time, I will take you to see the larger world, so that you can know why we still have to develop desperately and develop rapidly when we are so successful. Time is running out! ”
Wu Shan walked over and patted his father's shoulder, and the two palms of the two were tightly clasped together.
It wasn't raining anymore, though it wasn't particularly clear, and the sun reluctantly came out one moment, and the other it hid behind the clouds shyly.
Bodyguards and entourage surrounded the father and son from the VIP channel to Hong Kong Island International Airport in advance.
Ah Qiang complained two days ago that there were not enough elite personnel, and he was almost taken away by the various bosses of Yanhuang when they were traveling.
But on this trip, Ma Tingqiang was bleeding profusely, and he reluctantly gave his love to more than a dozen people. The Ma family's heritage is really not built, and they don't know where their training base is.
These people all look very clever, each of them is many times stronger than Ah Feng and Ah Shui, Wushan can see that they have all gone through the baptism of war, and that kind of indifference to life and death makes ordinary people feel chills in their hearts.
As for Ah Feng Ah Shui, because he is particularly loyal, he still takes it with him. The bodyguard is not the better he can fight, he is the one who can help you block bullets at a critical time, Wu Shan thought.
The airline's flight model is 707, after all, 737 is not suitable for long-haul flights.
Everyone is in first class, and there is no luxury in later generations, but at this time it is almost the top configuration.
At nine o'clock, after a few frequent visits by the beautiful flight attendants, the plane took off on time and the destination was Rome.
Along the way, Wushan read a book for a while. Then he slept with his head covered.
Lunch was settled on the plane.
Island Airlines' service is still very good, I called yesterday afternoon to inquire about everyone's taste, and the snacks on the plane are also Hong Kong-flavored.
The aircraft made a stopover in Dubai.
In the Arabian Peninsula in early winter, there is no summer heat, because the airport is not caught, Wushan does not know how much difference there is between Dubai now and a few decades later.
When I took off from Hong Kong Island, there were only Wushan and his party in the first class.
Everyone got off the plane and walked around the airport, and when they got on the plane again, there was a lot more people, all dressed in traditional Arabic costumes.
Wu Shan nodded and smiled to the other party, and the other party also smiled and nodded in agreement.
These oil tycoons can't let go, English is one of the official languages of the UAE.
Wu Shan wanted to call Cindy, the accompanying English translator, to greet them, but immediately stopped again. Nima, this is the Arab world, it is the 70s, and the status of women is not high even in later generations.
"Ah Zhong," Wu Shan asked in a low voice to the bodyguard next to him, "Which of you has good English?" ”
"Sir, every one of us here must know at least three languages, including English. I'm more in the middle of it. ”
"Go, greet them, and say that Boss Yanhuang greets them."
Ah Zhong said a few words to them in the past, and he could see that the other party was very polite.
Among them, a handsome guy about 20 years old greeted Wushan and they picked up the drink cup to make a toast, and Wushan also picked up the teacup and gestured to drink it all.
The young man was very surprised to see that this group of people turned out to be headed by Wushan. Indeed, Wushan's immature face betrays his age. Although during this period of time, because of rich nutrition and reasonable exercise, his height has almost reached 1.7 meters, but he is a child after all.
Ah Zhong returned: "Little sir, their boss seems to be Muhammad, the son of Rashid of the Maktoum family. ”
What the? Wu Shan pinched his thighs vigorously. Nima, O royal family of Dubai, is this Muhammad more than thirty years later? Root? Rashid? Alu? Al Maktoum is in charge of the UAE, and he is at the helm of the large-scale artificial palm islands and the seven-star Burj Al Arab.
Wushan immediately stood up and walked over to Muhammad, who also smiled and stood up and stretched out his right hand. The people next to him stepped out of the way, their two right hands clasped together. “Wushan,Wuismyfamilyname。 Chinese,fromGangdao。 ”
“Mahomet,fromDubai。” The two men then sat down and talked.
Cindy stood nervously on the sidelines, afraid that Wushan would make a mistake. I was shocked again, and I couldn't imagine that Wu Shan occasionally read the original English book and thought it was pretending, but he was so comfortable in English conversation.
A genius is a genius, learning English is not a thousand miles a day, it is countless miles a day. Hehe, buddy has lived abroad for a few years in his last life, and Wushan will smile proudly if he knows the way.
707 landed at Fiumicino International Airport, came out of the VIP tunnel, shook hands with Prince Mohammed and said goodbye, the two had left their contact information, and Wushan invited him to dinner at the local Yanhuang restaurant tonight.
Lin Liyang, the general manager of the branch, has already brought the team to pick up the airport, and everyone got in the car and drove to the Blazer Hotel. Because of jet lag, they all rest in the hotel.
At noon, the group eased up. After a brief lunch, Lin Liyang took everyone to visit the Colosseum, the Roman Forum area, Piazza Naphona, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and the Plaza de España. He is very eloquent, and he has only been in Italy for a few months, so he is quite familiar with the history of the place.
At dinner time, Lin Liyang took everyone to Yanhuang Restaurant. The Yellow Restaurant in Rome is located at the head of the Tvere River not far from these attractions.
The red gate of the magnificent Yanhuang restaurant is particularly eye-catching in the misty Roman twilight. Rows of copper nails glitter under eight red lanterns hanging high, and on the left gate are the four Chinese characters of Yanhuang Restaurant, and on the right is the Italian CinaQuestohotel.
Many tourists take photos here, and they can't imagine that Yanhuang Restaurant has become one of the attractions in Rome.
Under the tall arch, on the left is a row of Chinese beauties in red dragon costumes to greet guests, and on the right is a row of Italian beauties in yellow dragon costumes to welcome guests. Their cheongsams curled in the night breeze, revealing looming snow-white thighs, which made people think about it.
Advance service, antique private rooms, and separate halls make Yanhuang Restaurant open 24 hours a day in short supply.
Lin Liyang whispered on the side, and the group walked into the door.
The greeters on both sides bowed together with professional smiles, and the one on the left shouted, "Hello, welcome." ”
The one on the right then says: "Ciao, benvenuto." ”
Seeing that the usually high-ranking general manager actually accompanied these people, the guests naturally knew that the company's senior management must have come.
But everyone stuck to their posts, but there was excitement in their eyes.
On the left and right sides of the hall, a long carved backrest chair with a sponge cushion is placed on it. The loudspeakers play soothing traditional Chinese music. The chairs were full of guests waiting to eat, and there were many standing. Everything was in order, and the waiting guests were there talking in low voices.
When Wushan and Zhu Changjiang talked about the partition, they demanded that it must be higher, so that people outside could not see the situation of the diners inside.
Although the house is full of customers, it does not have the noisy atmosphere of Hong Kong Island. The voices of the guests at each table were quiet.
Cultural differences, Wushan couldn't help but sigh.
The bar is on the edge of the stairs around the corner, and all Yanhuang restaurants pay when they order food.
"Sicilia, have the Arab guests arrived?"
"Mr. Lin, they've been there for about five minutes." A blue-eyed blonde beauty, apparently a local, replied in awkward-sounding Chinese.
"Mr. Lin, do the other party's entourage have a place to eat?" Wu Shan asked Lin Liyang softly.
"Little sir, we are generally not open to the public on the eighth floor, except for 808 where you and the Arab guests are dining, all the other rooms are reserved. Wushan's heart is crooked, Nima, it's 808 again.
Take the elevator up, to the door, Wushan was very surprised, in addition to the Arab bodyguards and two Western bodyguards guarded outside the house.
Leaving the others outside, Wu Shan and Wu Liquan pushed open the door and walked in. The two men were stunned, and in the room, Muhammad was talking and laughing with an Italian about his age.
"Wushan, I'm sorry, this is my friend Edo Aldo? Agnelli, he heard me say that a freak in his teens came to Hong Kong Island, so he came together. Well, we are all comfortable communicating in English. ”
I bought a watch last year, and my friends are the royal family! The Agnelli family, Wushan did not expect to meet the Italian royal family here.
"Welcome, Edoaldo."
"Ha Luha, I am the landlord, and I welcome you. Please call me Al, that's what my friends call me. "Al looks very sunny, I don't know why he will be depressed and commit suicide after 26 years?
The three of them talked, and Wu Shan introduced his father Wu Liquan to everyone. The sound of Quan was sent by two people for a long time and they didn't understand it, and they had to call Wu Liquan Wu in the end.
The two guests held chopsticks and tinkered for a long time, but after all, they are smart people, and they will use them slowly.
Today's meal is mandarin duck hot pot, two people clumsily use chopsticks to hold thin slices of mutton in the red pot.
Wushan told them that not all dishes should be sandwiched with chopsticks, but the hairy belly should be sandwiched, otherwise it will shrink to a little if it is scalded.
Gradually, they learned to eat. There was sweat on his face, and he didn't want to eat white food.
Later, Lin Liyang said that since then, Al still brings friends to come often, and there is a diamond card presented by Wushan, and the service fee for the dishes is free.
Of course, the Agnelli family is not short of these two small money. This kid is also very interesting, every time he comes, he orders some drinks to make up the difference.
After eating, the four of them came to the living room next to it. There was a casual chat, and Al talked about how often he was in the company.
"Wait, factory, what factory?" Wushan was sweating.
"The car factory. You don't know that Fiat is our family. "Al doesn't look like he's right.
"I know," Wushan certainly can't admit it, "your company should have a lot of factories, I'm asking which factory it is." ”
"Aha, it's me who is wrong, the engine factory."
Cars, Italy, Fiat, Wushan always feel that they have forgotten something. Ah yes, there was a sports car brand that went bankrupt in '74. But how do you say Maserati in English? Gotta be honest and ask.
"Al, I heard that a famous sports car brand has broken down this year?"
"Yes, Maserati."
"What?"
"Maserati," Al looked at him with a confused look, "M, A, S, E, R, A, T, I, MASERATI!" ”
“maserati!” Wu Shan slapped his thigh.
"What's wrong? Do you want to buy? Al looked at him with a puzzled expression, "There are a lot of debts, more than 30 billion." ”
"What, more than 30 billion? The unit you're talking about is a U.S. knife? ”
"No, Lira."
"Hehe, I really want to buy it." Wu Shan bared his fangs. "Can you help?"
"No problem, we were going to buy it, but then we felt that it was not worth it to have too much debt. The main thing is that our main project is cars. Oh my God, you don't know anything about sports cars, why did you buy them? ”
"Is it okay to play?" Wushan pretended to be mysterious, "mainly because I think it's a pity that such a well-known brand is gone." ”
"On behalf of the people of this company, thank you, Shan, you are so great. No problem, I can also make a deal out of it and reduce some of my debt. ”
"Al, my main purpose is to get complete information and those R&D personnel. These people are lost, and it is useless for me to buy them. ”
"Don't worry, friend, Maserati just fell, and we in the automotive industry are sorry. I'm going to try to buy you the company without any damage. Tony, come in. Al snapped his fingers.
A big man came in, and the two of them muttered in Italian for a while, and the bodyguard, whose full name was Antonio, went out.
"That's it," Al snapped his fingers, "Wushan, send your people over, I'll find someone to help you." ”
"Hey, gentlemen." Muhammad was not satisfied, "There is another one here that has not been interjected, can you not leave me." ”
"Oh, my poor Arabian prince." Wu Shan grimaced. "We're going to have a drinking party right away."
"Damn," Muhammad was terrified, "Wushan, you said you did it on purpose, didn't you?" I don't drink alcohol knowing that I am a Muslim. ”
"Ha Luha, that's right. It's a pity that there was no award. Wu Shan complained again, "It seems that I am also a guest of the city of Rome, so you shouldn't point the finger at me." Besides, we're all Asians, and we're fellow countrymen. Fellows should be at gunpoint with each other, isn't there a European there who is watching a joke? ”
"Haha "Okay, Muhammad, that Wu is stupid, damn it, he still can't pronounce that sound, that Wu Mr. hasn't spoken, can you learn from others?"
Wu Liquan already has a certain foundation in English, and their conversation can be roughly understood. His face was black next to him, and the word "power" was called a stupid word, what a thing.
Seeing that Muhammad was on the verge of an outburst, Al clapped his hands: "Okay, gentlemen, I have a house in the Bogcai villa area not far from here, let's go and rest." ”
"Well, I'm not going," Wu Shan sneered. "I've stayed at the Blazer Hotel."
"Are you sure it's Brazze?" Al looked at him with a strange expression, and when he saw Wushan nodding, he finally couldn't hold back and laughed again. Nima, Europeans and Americans laugh so low. "Cloth... Cloth... Cloth... Cloth... Lazer is mine. Al laughed breathlessly.
Wu Shan made a V with his right hand, patted Muhammad on the shoulder, and everyone turned and walked out.
In the darkness of the night, a long convoy headed for Al's villa.
