Chapter 92: A Trip to Germany (2)

Stuttgart, located in Baden-Württemberg, the third largest state in the Federal Republic of Germany, is the capital of the state. As the sixth largest city in Germany, Stuttgart is second only to Munich in terms of industrial development. In addition to electronics, machinery, precision instruments and other industries, the most famous of which is automobiles, supports their industrial system.

As the home of automobiles and one of the most famous automobile cities in the world, Stuttgart is home to the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and the birthplace of Porsche cars. Here, the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star has become the city's symbol, and the Porsche logo is based on a sample of Stuttgart's city emblem.

It's a car city, but it's more than just a car city. In fact, the Stuttgart region is also known for its high-tech industry, as well as Germany's second-largest financial centre and a famous wine region.

When Zhongshi's plane landed at Stuttgart Airport on the outskirts of the city, it was already the early morning of the 10th. Except for the lights near the terminal and the airport, the rest of the area has been plunged into darkness. Despite this, there were still many people waiting quietly at the gangway.

Standing at the forefront of the greeting procession, it was naturally Gao Han. In fact, after a conversation with him, he soon moved to Germany, where he spent his time on exchanges such as Frankfurt and Stuttgart, hoping to find some clues about Porsche and Volkswagen.

Beside Gao Han was a medium-sized German, a little older, with gray temples, kind eyebrows, and a lovely smile, which made people feel close at a glance. This gentleman's name is Hans. Schroeder is the steward of the Porsche family.

And in Hans. Behind Schroeder, there stood a tall blonde woman with delicate facial features and a beautiful face. With a little powder, she looks particularly radiant, and she is wearing a light gray professional attire, which shows her convex and backward figure at a glance. In the terminal, many men secretly aimed at the blonde, but the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the girl's nose made her feel a little cold. It gives people a sense of staying away.

At this time she was leaning over Hans. Something in Schroeder's ear. Maybe it was because the waiting time was too long, and the girl's face showed a little impatience, but because Gao Han was beside her, she didn't complain too much.

Her name is Anna. Merkel, a student at the University of Stuttgart, was a student of mechanical engineering in China for two years. Schroeder was hired as a personal assistant to receive guests from the Far East, including Bell Stone.

Five meters away from the three people. There are five bodyguards in black and sunglasses, who are distributed around the three Porsche Cayenne, constantly monitoring the abnormal situation around them.

When the Boeing 777 docked in front of the gangway with a humming roar, and the hatch opened to only walk out of Zhongshi and Jiangshan, Anna. Merkel's cherry mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for half a day. And Hans. Although Schroeder was well-informed, he couldn't help but show a slight look of surprise on his face.

Two people charter a plane, this trip is too luxurious. The two of them thought of it in unison. It's just that they never imagined that this was not a charter flight at all. It's a genuine private jet.

Gao Han was extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to climb up to the cabin to see what was going on, but Zhong Shi was right in front of him, and he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. At the moment, he didn't care about visiting the plane, and hurriedly took Hans. Schroeder and Anna. Merkel and the two were introduced to Zhongshi.

"I'm really sorry to keep you two waiting." Zhong Shi shook hands with the two of them one by one with a slight apology. Let Gao Han translate, "I can participate in Wolfgang. Mr. Porsche's birthday party was a great honour for me personally. I have always been a loyal user of the Porsche brand and hope to see more classic Porsche models in the future. ”

"It is also an honor to have a gentleman like you to the banquet." Hans. Schroeder was equally polite. Holding Zhong Shi's hand, he said, "We are very grateful for you to identify with our brand. Thank you very much for coming and look forward to more opportunities for us to develop in the future. ”

I'm afraid it's the last sentence that's the point. Zhong Shi smiled as he dealt with Hans. Schroeder, while thinking to himself. However, he did not express this thought. After a few more pleasantries, they got on Cayenne and sped away towards the city center.

"What have you heard lately?"

Zhong Shi leaned back in his chair and pretended to sleep, the upside-down jet lag made him sleepless, and the words of the Porsche family butler when he got off the plane made him full of alertness, in this case, he naturally needed to know what was going on here. He didn't believe that the other party would simply invite him to Wolfgang without any intentions. Porsche's meeting. You must know that this so-called birthday party is a social place in a large way, and many important business intentions are reached on this occasion.

"I did find something!" Gao Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head with an excited face, "I won't say much about the historical grievances between Porsche and Volkswagen." According to what I recently inquired about, Wolfgang. It is highly likely that Porsche will buy Volkswagen, at least in this regard. So far, I can't judge the truth of this news, but since two years ago, Porsche has slowly increased its stake in Volkswagen, and by the last disclosure, their stake in Volkswagen has reached 30%, which has to be said to be a strong corroboration. ”

"Does the snake swallow an elephant?" Zhong Shi tapped on the armrest and said seemingly absent-mindedly, "If that's the case, it would be too interesting." ”

Ferdinand. Porsche, one of the founders and designers of Volkswagen in Germany, once designed the Beetle. After leaving Volkswagen, Ferdinand. Porsche started its own family car brand, Porsche. After his death, the shares in Porsche AG were inherited equally by his sons and daughters, but after entering the third generation of the Porsche family, Ferdinand Ferdinand was the third generation of the Porsche family. Porsche's grandsons and grandchildren are in a fierce battle over the inheritance. This prompted Ferdinand. Porsche's son made the decision to quit management, and from then on, the business of Porsche became managed by non-Porsche family members.

Ferdinand who was forced to flee. Piëch, is Ferdinand. A grandson of Porsche. Realizing that he could not take the reins of Porsche, he moved to Audi, a Volkswagen subsidiary of Germany, as head of the design department. Within 20 years, he gradually rose to become the CEO of Volkswagen, and eventually became the chairman of Volkswagen.

The problem is that Volkswagen is also Ferdinand. Porsche's heartwork, and taking Volkswagen into its arms has always been the dream of the Porsche family. Despite being his own cousin at the helm of Volkswagen, and despite wanting to be brothers, soon Wolfgang . Porsche turned the war on Volkswagen.

In fact, in 2005, the Porsche family began to increase its stake in Volkswagen. First in September, it became the largest shareholder of Volkswagen, and then increased its stake again in November of the following year, bringing its stake to 27.3%. And to Wolfgang. Just two months after the last increase, Porsche AG chose to increase its stake in Volkswagen again, bringing its stake to a staggering 30.9 percent.

At this time, Porsche can be described as "Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows".

"But the question now is whether they see the value of Volkswagen's investment or if they really buy back Ferdinand, as rumored to be. Porsche's brainchild. Gao Han could only shake his head secretly. If the former is the case, it is most likely the Porsche family's choice in terms of pure investment. If the latter is the case, this kind of investment is irrational, after all, the profits of the low-end car market are limited, and the profits of Porsche sports cars are almost universal, which is really irrational. ”

"It should be the latter!" Zhong Shi laughed silently, although Gao Han's analysis was quite comprehensive, he completely ignored a cultural influence. That is, in European history, people attach importance to and identify with the family. This is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

The two discussed passionately for a long time, only to find that Jiang Shan, who was in the same car, had not spoken since he got in the car, which surprised them. After discovering Jiang Shan's stunned expression and frequent actions of looking up at the car behind, Zhong Shi and Gao Han smiled at each other, and Zhong Shi coughed deliberately. Pretending to be stern, he asked, "What are you looking at?" Jiangshan, is there anything behind the car? ”

Jiang Shan, who was looking at the back of the car in a daze, was taken aback, and quickly turned around and replied pretending to cover up: "It's nothing, it's nothing." It was my first time in Germany to see the scenery around me. ”

"The view? What's the view? Gao Han stuck out his head in great cooperation. After looking around, he asked puzzledly, "Where can I see the scenery clearly in the dark?" Jiangshan, are you looking at the dark night in Germany? Is there any difference between the night here and Hong Kong? ”

Jiang Shan's face suddenly turned red after the lie was exposed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Actually, I'm looking at that Miss Anna, I haven't seen a foreign girl who speaks Chinese so well!" ”

Anna. Merkel is hot, sexy and enchanting, but there is a feeling of rejection, which has to be said to be a fatal temptation for men. It's no wonder that after looking at each other a few times, Jiang Shan was deeply fascinated.

"This girl is still a student at the University of Stuttgart, you should take it easy and don't get into any trouble!" Gao Han smiled and kindly persuaded him.

Germans are generally perceived as strict and old-fashioned, but these traits are rarely seen in the younger generation of Germans. In fact, young people in Germany are the craziest in Europe, with all-night partying, endless drinking, promiscuity regardless of the occasion, etc., which attract young people from all over Europe.

When Gao Han said trouble, he meant "human life". Because of the different views on abortion, some Christian believers do not choose to strangle the little life after pregnancy, but choose to give birth. In this case, the husband may be required to pay for child support and fulfill his father's responsibilities for a certain period of time. And this qiē can be described as "troublesome" for the current country.

"I thought she was a student and I thought she was a relative of the Porsche family!" Zhong Shi also smiled when he heard Gao Han's words. When he saw Anna, he also had a feeling of amazement, but he was no longer a hairy young man like Jiang Shan, and naturally he would not have Jiang Shan's reaction to gains and losses.

Since he couldn't figure out whether Gao Han was making fun of himself or seriously giving Jianyì, Jiang Shan could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Wait, this guy might be useful to us!" Just as Gao Han was about to tease Jiang Shan a few more words, Zhong Shi suddenly spoke, "Since she is Mr. Hans's personal assistant, then maybe she has the opportunity to hear some inside information, which may be what we need." ”

Gao Han and Jiang Shan were dumbfounded, they would never have thought that Zhong Shi would come up with such an idea.

"Jiang Shan, Mr. Jiang, I think you are quite compatible with her." As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, Zhong Shi didn't care what these two people were thinking, he turned his head and said to Jiang Shan with a smile, "Go and pursue her, exotic fate is very wonderful." ”

At this moment, Zhong Shi resembled the big bad wolf who coaxed Little Red Riding Hood. (To be continued......)
