At half past seven p.m. local time, Wolfgang. Porsche's birthday party officially begins.

It is only a 10-minute walk from the Zuffenhausen Hotel to the Porsche Headquarters building, the banquet venue. Despite this, the organizers have also thoughtfully prepared scooters, two latest Porsche 911 sports cars. Since Zhong Shi's invitation could only invite one attendant, Gao Han could only stay in the hotel honestly.

The headquarters building, located to the south of Porsche, is brightly lit and crowded at this time. The reception staff set up a long red carpet at the door to welcome VIPs from all over the world. The photographers were arranged behind the separation line on both sides, and captured the figures of the guests with the magnesium lights in their hands. The occasional Porsche sports car pulled in the limelight, and the whole scene was made to look like a star catwalk.

"Look, the mayor of Stuttgart is here!"

With an exclamation, the shutter suddenly sounded one after another. It wasn't until the smiling mayor walked across the red carpet that a reporter pouted and said disdainfully: "What is a mayor?" The governor of Baden-Württemberg has just arrived, and the president of the parliament has also been there. The President is also said to have sent a special envoy to attend. ”

"Really? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Of course, they don't want to walk the red carpet openly, and they have already entered the banquet in a low-key manner." The person who spoke was even more disdainful, "By the way, I don't know the popular Ferdinand. Will Piëch be in person? ”

"If he attends, it's really big news!" As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a sensation among reporters. In fact, not all of the reporters who came today are Porsche fans, but they are all automotive journalists, so they are naturally familiar with the grievances of the Porsche family, especially Ferdinand. Piëch lived with his brother and daughter-in-law after leaving Porsche, and this episode added a bit of legend to this wealthy feud.

Everyone is looking forward to such a bloody episode. It's just that before the story they expected happened, Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan, two unfamiliar faces from the East, appeared in front of them.

"Who is this? Does anyone know each other? ”

"Look, these two Orientals were greeted by Hans himself, and they must have a great background. Let's take a picture and go back and find out what the hell is going on, maybe there's big news hidden in it! ”

Similar thoughts only flashed through the minds of the journalists. Immediately after that, the overwhelming magnesium lights sounded one after another.

"Why are there so many reporters, this formation is so big!"

Jiang Shan, who stepped down from the sports car, was obviously not used to this kind of scene, his expression was slightly nervous, and he muttered quietly behind Zhong Shi.

"Don't be too nervous, we're just here to join in the fun!" Zhong Shi's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and nodded around, while replying in a low voice, "Relax, let's see if there are any people we know." ”

As he spoke. Hans. Schroeder walked over, and it was Anna who was following him. Merkel. Hans. Schroeder was still dressed as he was yesterday, and Miss Anna had changed into a backless evening gown, exposing her fair back, and she almost drooled when she saw it.

"Mr. Zhong, you are very welcome to visit!" Hans. Schroeder smiled and held out his hand to Zhong Shi, this time in English. There is no problem with the communication between each other, "Please sign in here first." I will lead you and your companions into the banquet hall. ”

Zhong Shi naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, and after giving Jiang Shan a meaningful smile, he entered the banquet hall under the leadership of Hans.

Porsche's headquarters building is not very tall, in fact in the Stuttgart area is generally not very tall, except for a few skyscrapers in the city center. The most preserved Zài here are Gothic buildings. As a symbol of industry, the Porsche headquarters is naturally a modern steel structure building, and the whole building is located at the intersection of four roads, showing an irregular shape, but it is different from other buildings in the surrounding area. The building is full of angularities and gives a sense of cold solemnity.

After entering the hall, it is no longer visible in its original appearance, and it seems that it has been transformed into a huge banquet hall. In the west corner, there are three rectangular tables filled with a variety of food, which is standard at banquets. Although there were very few customers wandering around the area, there were about ten tall hat chefs who were faithfully waiting for the guests to pass by.

The place where Bell Stone is currently located is a casual and social area, about half the size of a football field, and the place is full of people, each in attendance, dressed in smart clothes, holding a glass of champagne and talking in a whisper. Waiters in tuxedos weave through the crowd with wine trays like butterflies wearing flowers, constantly delivering fine wine to guests.

As soon as Zhong Shi and Hans entered, a waiter brought two glasses of wine, and Hans took it, and after handing Zhong Shi a glass, he said, "Sorry, Mr. Zhong, please wait here for a while, I still have guests to receive." When the reception is done, please allow me to introduce a few guests to you. ”

Leaders of the world's major automotive companies and politicians were invited, so people from the Porsche family were sent out to receive them. Zhong Shi also knew that Hans had a lot to do on this occasion, so he smiled and nodded.

"Hey, when did this kid run away?" After Hans left, when Zhongshi turned back and was about to talk to Jiangshan, he found that he didn't know when, Jiangshan had disappeared. Missing him was naturally Miss Anna's figure.

Because he was not familiar with the place, Zhong Shi was not in the automobile industry, and he was not a sociable person, so Zhong Shi could only touch the tip of his nose speechlessly, and quietly walked towards the corner while he was not paying attention. On such an occasion, it would be too embarrassing for a person to stand stupidly in the middle of the field.

It's just that Zhong Shi's wishful thinking didn't succeed, just as he moved quietly, a sight had already been fixed on him, and soon this figure moved to Zhong Shi's side, and took the lead in stretching out his palm.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhong Shizhong?" There was a slight uncertainty in the voice of the visitor, as if he couldn't believe that he had met Zhong Shi on such an occasion, but after seeing Zhong Shi's confused expression, this uncertainty immediately turned into a surprise, "It turns out that it's really you." Mr. Zhong, it's great to see you on such an occasion! ”

Zhong Shi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there were still people who knew him in this kind of place, and when he looked at the person carefully, it was a middle-aged white man in his forties, with a height of about one meter eight. He has brown hair and is quite handsome, with an angular face like a knife and an axe. Surprisingly, though, his blue eyes were bloodshot.

"You are?" Zhong Shi quickly thought about it in his mind, making sure that he didn't know this person, but he still honestly stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and then asked puzzledly.

Unlike Zhong Shi's slightly indifferent reaction, the man was extremely excited after shaking hands with Zhong Shi, and quickly took out a business card from his arms. His hands were respectfully handed to Zhong Shi, and he solemnly introduced himself: "Sloan. Landman, Managing Director of Mergers & Acquisitions at Rehman Bros. in London. ”

Headquartered in New York, Kamison Brothers has branches and offices around the world, including London for Europe and Tokyo, Japan. There are offices in departments such as Frankfurt and Hong Kong, which are part of the global headquarters. However, they can solve general affairs by themselves, so once the global headquarters needs to come forward, it will definitely be a big event that will cause a sensation in the market.

Combined with this one called Sloan. The department in which Mr. Landman works. Zhongshi quickly came to the conclusion that Porsche had probably hired Kaminari Brothers as its financial advisor as its financial adviser. To be able to appear here at such a sensitive time, I am afraid that it is the acquisition of Volkswagen.

These thoughts only flashed in Zhong Shi's mind, and the next moment he solemnly took the business card, and at the same time gave back a business card, and then pretended not to know anything and asked, "Mr. Landman is also a Porsche customer?" Was invited here to attend Wolfgang. Mr. Porsche's banquet? ”

Hearing Zhong Shi's words, Sloane's mouth suddenly opened wide. Looking at Zhong Shi in disbelief. After a while, he realized his gaffe, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhong, it turns out that you were invited as a guest. I thought you were ......"

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Zhong Shi up and down again. Seeing that the other party never showed the slightest surprise, he sighed and said, "That's the case." The host may announce one thing, and we, the Kaminari Brothers, have come this time to help Porsche with some things. I originally thought that Mr. Chung was involved in this business, so I was invited to this birthday party. But now that I've said it, I'm not going to hide it anymore. ”

"Is it Porsche's acquisition of Volkswagen?" Zhong Shi's eyes flashed, and he looked thoughtful, "I have already seen the relevant news before I came, is there any bigger action for Porsche?" ”

Sloane. Landman nodded and replied: "Yes, this time the Porsche family is very determined, and they have made up their minds to take Volkswagen under their ownership, at least to obtain an absolute controlling stake." So this time, many consortiums, including us, are involved, and the news that Porsche will continue to increase its stake in Volkswagen will be officially announced. As financial advisors, we will fully support Porsche AG in acquiring Volkswagen's shares in the market. ”

Zhong Shi nodded and didn't say anything more.

By the time he increased his stake in Volkswagen, the Porsche family's ambitions were already clear, but unlike his predecessor's policy of maintaining obscurity, Wolfgang . Porsche was more aggressive and open about the acquisition of Volkswagen. Of course, he has his capital, and you must know that the current Porsche car is the most profitable car variety in the world.

Since the other party decided that he was purely an invited guest, Zhong Shi naturally wouldn't say anything more. In fact, he didn't think that the Porsche family would lightly send an invitation card to himself, an "unrelated" person. Porsche can only know after talking, but now Zhongshi doesn't know.

"Hmph, now the Porsche family is really getting more and more unpresentable, and anyone dares to invite in!"

Catching such a legendary figure as Zhong Shi, Sloan naturally couldn't just say a few words, and just as he was about to ask Zhong Shi in detail about some things that happened to Zhong Shi, a cold voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

Since this sentence was said in German, Zhong Shi didn't understand what it meant, but Sloane understood it very clearly, and his face changed at the moment, and he reprimanded the visitor: "This gentleman, pay attention to your words, this is not a place for you to go wild!" ”

Seeing Sloane's face change, Zhong Shi realized that the German sentence just now might not be very friendly, so he looked at the person who spoke seriously, but was shocked to find that the person who spoke was actually an old man with gray hair. (To be continued......)
