Chapter 19 How Many Birds with One Stone?

The Maserati family had seven brothers, all of whom were involved in automobiles at the beginning of the 20th century. After designing a single-cylinder locomotive engine in 1898, the eldest Carlo was hired as a technical consultant and test driver by Fiat and Isotta Fraschini, and most of the other brothers also joined Isotta Fraschini, who died in racing in 1910, and in 1914 Alfieri, the third Alfieri, left the Isotta Fraschini factory with the fourth and fifth children to found OfficiniAlfieri Maserati.

Later, Maserati was acquired by Citroën.

The oil crisis of the '70s put a halt to the ambitious Citroën's plans to expand – a sudden contraction in demand for gas-guzzling sports cars. Citroën went bankrupt in 1974.

"Mountain, I don't know if you're only interested in sports cars or cars." Shaking his glass, Al said leisurely. "Whether you want to buy a Maserati or take it over, I've got you covered. However, it may have to add about 100 million US dollars to the whole deal. ”

Listening to Al introduce those proper nouns and professional expressions, Wushan was almost drowsy. Whether it is in his previous life or in the past few years of rebirth, he doesn't know anything about cars. I think that the car has a substitute for transportation, and I have been buying a domestic car in my previous life.

Listening to it, Wushan is becoming more and more interested, and he can actually take the sheep by hand? The excitement in his heart, is it really the welfare of the reborn?

Originally, he wanted to take Maserati into his pocket and let the descendants of China have their own sports cars. Now, not only sports car manufacturers can buy it, but even Citroen, a giant can get it.

"The phone can be used for international calls, right?" Seeing that Al nodded, his hands were a little trembling, and he dialed the phone number of Wang Xiulan's office, it was less than eleven o'clock in Rome, and it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon on Hong Kong Island, and she was in the office at this time.

"Sister Xiulan? I need $400 million in liquidity, please deposit it immediately, wait for me to ask. Turning to Al, he asked, "Is it okay with Citibank?" "I spoke Chinese in a hurry.

"What?"

"Oh, Citibank National Association, has a presence in Rome?" Al nodded, and Wu Shan said into the microphone again: "Deposit in the account of Citibank, you can do it before you get off work today." Don't have enough cash? Then take out a loan, and find Citi. Go ahead and handle it, and in the meantime, tomorrow you and Lawyer Hou will come to Rome with financial staff and lawyers who understand international law. ”

"Al, what's your phone number?" Alma wrote it down with a pen and handed it to Wushan.

"Remember, the phone number is 0039, 769XXXXXXX, okay, call me when the matter is done."

Subsequently, he sold Guan Zi slightly: "Hehe, Sister Xiulan still understands me, there must be action, come and talk about it specifically, don't say it." Good one, see you in Rome. Mr. Lin knew where I was, I would be in Rome for the next two days. See you again. ”

The Hong Kong authorities stopped their small actions after the kidnapping incident, after all, Yan Huang's success is also a political achievement of the Hong Kong Island government. Banks have opened their doors and come to their homes to ask for loans. Wang Xiulan, who was worried about money a few days ago, is crazy these days.

Then, Wu Shan called Wu Libi again to report his safety.

On the phone, she complained. The age difference between the aunt and nephew is not very big, and many times, especially after arriving on Hong Kong Island, she plays the dual role of mother and sister.

The press in Europe and the United States is not calm.

Newspapers in Rome and Milan reported: "The wolf of the fashion world is coming. The traditional Chinese costume that we see these days is the Yanhuang Dragon Suit, which has been made by Edo Aldo, the eldest son of the Agnelli family? Agnelli's company acquires agency rights in Europe and the Americas. The picture shows Callaris, general manager of Agnelli Clothing Company, and Hua Jianlan, CEO of Yanhuang Clothing Company, signing the contract. ”

Major newspapers and periodicals in Europe and the United States have reprinted it.

Calalice Wushan has seen, a rare beauty. Above all, she is a good manager. Calalis, who is less than twenty-five years old, is known to everyone in the Italian business circle.

"Did you come to the company to see your general manager?" Wushan touched Al, who was still in a daze: "People have long since left, why are you still in a daze there?" ”

"Hey," Al smiled sheepishly.

Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang in the office.

"Edoaldo? Hello Agnelli. "Don't say it, this kid is still decent when he gets down to business.

Al's face was getting darker and darker. When I answered the phone, I was just there to respond.

Putting down the microphone, he lay on his back on the couch with his eyes closed.

Originally, his dad Jani? Agnelli was disappointed in his isolation and withdrawn personality. sent him to work at Juventus, and actually began to chase stars, blindly worshipping the captain of the team, Salvator.

As a result, Juventus did not score last season.

Jani had to succumb to family pressure and force Salvatore to retire, leaving Al to fend for himself at the engine company.

The arrival of Wushan finally made Jani wake up.

He has always thought that he is a good father, and he cares for his children everywhere, no, he dotes on him.

Al set up his own company to act as an agent for Yanhuang products, which made Jani very happy. It turns out that the son can, but he just needs an opportunity and a platform, instead of letting him continue to grow in the greenhouse. That kind of consequence, old Janei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.

Just now I called Al and asked him to take Wushan home to see.

In fact, not to mention in Italy, but in the whole of Europe and the United States, where is there a disturbance, how can you hide it?

"Mountain, my dad asked me to go home." Al's tone was a little gloomy: "I can't even raise the slightest interest when I think of his expressionless face. ”

"My mother died young, and I never saw him smile." Al took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him and poured half a glass for himself and Wushan. He shook his glass slightly, staring intently at his favorite wine.

The wine was blood-red, slowly enlarged in front of his eyes, like a legendary vampire, and pounced on him.

"What's wrong, Al?" Wu Shan saw that his face gradually turned hideous, and he threw the goblet on the ground at once, full of panic.

"Ah, I'm sorry." His face was pale, he kept panting, and shook his head vigorously: "My dad asked me to take you back with me, what should I do?" ”

The cleaner meticulously cleaned the carpet, then bowed politely and gently led the door out of the door.

"Big brother, aren't you?" Wu Shan laughed: "We bet that I'm sure it's a good thing that Uncle Jani let us pass." Believe me, you are now recognized by the family, especially by your father. ”

Al hesitated: "You say, he appreciates me?" He pointed to his nose in disbelief: "But maybe you're right." Although the people invited this time came for the sake of the family's face, our press conference was a success. From Carol's introduction just now, the current orders are flying like snowflakes, and the deposits are all soft. Maybe I wanted my father's compliment too much, and I can't remember the last time he smiled at me. ”

"Aha? Have you started calling people nicknames? Carol, well, there is a situation. Wu Shan teased.

"Al, in our China, there is a saying: strict father and mother."

He himself also felt a little emotional, in another time and space, is he too strict with his children?

"Father's love is like a mountain, unlike mother's love, which we can directly experience. Uncle Jani has been keeping an eye on you, and all our actions will never escape his sight. ”

Speaking of this, Wushan felt a trace of melancholy for no reason.

I resolutely took my second father and my father to Hong Kong Island. The grandparents at home, their fathers and mothers, are they also looking forward day and night, waiting for everyone to go back?

The estate of Agnelli, less than five kilometers outside of Rome.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, a small river flows slowly in front, and endless mountains in the back.

Looking from the outside, you can vaguely see pavilions and pavilions, which have the style of Chinese architecture.

Speaking of which, wasn't Marco Polo, the first Westerner to promote China, an Italian? It is not difficult to understand their love and admiration for Chinese architecture.

The servants lined up in two long lines in the manor and bowed together: "Hello young master." ”

At the end of the queue, an old man with gray hair looked at Al kindly. From the moment he came into his sight, his eyes never left for a moment.

"Daddy!" Tears welled up in Al's eyes, and he ran to the old man's side and gave him an affectionate hug.

Jani lovingly patted his eldest son on the back: "Al, you are awesome, you are my pride!" Your mother is knowledgeable and proud of you. Tell me about your friends yet. ”

Al embarrassed to get out of his father's arms, his hands scrambled to wipe the tears from his face.

"Brother, I'm smiling." Al smiled heartily, "This is my esteemed father, Jani?" Agnelli. Dad, this is my friend, no, it's a brother, from Wushan, the magical China. ”

Jani had already extended his hand: "Welcome, my child. He lowered his head and leaned into Wushan's ear: "Thank you, thank you, please accept a father's thanks." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

There were already four guests in the living room, all with sad faces on their faces. Seeing everyone entering, he quickly stood up.

"Come, let me introduce you. This young man is a distinguished guest from the Far East, a new business giant in the world, Mr. Wushan. ”

"This is Leonardo Du from France? Mr. Citroën, the eldest son of the late Mr. Andrea Citroën, the founder of the Citroën company. Next to him is the company's chief engineer, Mr. Tutuci. This is Adolf Os, Honorary Chairman of Maserati, and the last is Maserati's Chief Engineer, Mr. Gigirio. ”

As he introduced, Al's face next to him lit up with happiness. It turned out that as Wu Shan said, his father was always paying attention to himself. Not only that, but it also laid a solid foundation for his brother's successful acquisition of these two companies.

"The four of them were invited by Uncle Jani, so let's talk openly and honestly."

They were invited by the Agnelli family, and they didn't know what to do. Now when I hear Wushan's words, I can't believe it. What is this Oriental going to do? He wants to acquire? Do Orientals understand cars?

Seeing their confusion, Wu Shan immediately understood: "I want to buy you, say your requirements, and try not to meet them too much." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

In the end, the actual owner of the company, Du Vinci, cleared his throat: "Mr. Wushan, what changes do you have to make after the acquisition?" ”

"There are only two points," Wu Shan stretched out two fingers: "First, let others know that this car is made in China, and the name does not need to be changed; Second, we need to develop energy-saving models. As we all know, oil is a non-renewable resource. Before we find a resource that can replace oil as power, our cars will develop in the direction of energy conservation as much as possible. ”

These words, not only the parties listened, but Jani also thoughtfully.

Soon, the Italian and French media appeared in the news: "Yan Huang, a Hong Kong Island business giant that has been making frequent moves recently, has spent a huge amount of money to acquire Citroen and all its companies, including the famous sports car brand Maserati." The picture shows Wang Xiulan, the financial director of Yanhuang, and the company's lawyer at the signing site. ”

At this time, Wushan was already accompanied by Al, crossing the sky above Alpis.
