After traveling to Paris for a few days, Chen Taizhong turned around and went to the UK. Firstly, he wanted to implement the coke share issue, and secondly, he wanted to promote Quyanghuang. France has already started. The UK should do the same at the same time.
Nick agreed to the matter without talking to him. He also led him to meet two financiers to get acquainted with each other. Director Chen was originally thinking whether he could trick these two into investing some money in Phoenix.
Instead, I asked him about it. I heard that Director Chen has a lot of funds in his hands. If possible, please let us know if you have any information in the future.
Chen Taizhong suddenly heard such words. He was really surprised. After asking carefully, he found out that although he was cautious enough to dare him and Catherine to speculate on Mannesmann's stock, in most financial institutions,
There has been an uproar among the upper echelons of the organization.
In fact, there are no absolute secrets in the financial world. Catherine has no interest in cultivating her own team of traders, so as soon as her operation is completed, someone will know about it.
More than one billion US dollars is really nothing in the European stock market, but if someone can use it to complete a successful transaction, that is enough to shock the entire financial circle, not to mention Europe, and it will also attract the attention of the financial circle in the United States.
Not to mention she also received about 70% of the profits.
In particular, Vodafone announced just a week ago that it had successfully acquired Mannesmann, yes. Mr. Kassel of Mannesmann finally stopped being tough and reluctantly accepted the British offer, so now this price is
, just when the topic is hot, it is strange that Chen Taizhong’s arrival fails to attract other people’s attention.
In good conscience, Catherine was not seeking to maximize profits when she sold the stock, but this is the strange thing. After she left the market, Mannesmann's stock did not rise much.
She sold the stock at 219 euros per share, and later the stock reached a maximum of 239 euros per share. In other words, even if she persisted for another three months and sold at the highest point, she would not make more money.
If it exceeds 10%, then even if she grasped the timing of her attack quite well - there are no gods in this world, her operation is already almost perfect.
Ordinarily, most people would only notice the bad girls of the Kennedy family, but because of Nick, these two financiers knew that the Chinese man in front of them could be Catherine's mistress. Both Bella and Grace had roots there.
In the UK, a member of Parliament who had been involved in the underworld asked casually and found that two British models were sure that Director Chen had eaten Catherine to death.
"It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." Chen Taizhong had to lament that the people in front of him were well-informed. However, think about the same situation in Chinese officialdom. Once there is any trouble, everyone will be wiped out.
Know.
"I think Ms. Catherine Mitchell is also very willing to cooperate with you." He replied with a smile. But he was secretly muttering in his heart, buddy, he is becoming more and more like a politician, writing a bad check without any trouble.
He was very sure that a certain bad girl no longer planned to enter the European stock market.
"However, my hometown still needs some investment. I came here to find investors." Chen not only lied, but also took this opportunity to get some business for himself. Of course, it would be unavoidable to talk about rice wine in this situation.
It was a bit too low-grade, so he set his goal a little higher, "I wonder if you two gentlemen have any suitable projects and funds?"
"What other project can make more money than in the financial market?" One of them smiled slightly. He didn't seem to be very interested in Chen Taizhong's question, but there was a reason for his reserve. You know, the British are very good at finance.
The market's ability to make waves is not much worse than that of Americans.
In the early days, the British came to gain profits through global colonization and exploited the fruits of other people's labor. However, after the two world wars, the glory of the empire on which the sun never set was finally blown away by rain and wind. However, in the financial industry, the British were still far from the top.
Except for the United States, it is far ahead of all other countries in the world.
When it comes to industrial manufacturing, agricultural production, and well-known brands, the British are lagging behind, but they can still dominate the European economy. To put it bluntly, the financial industry plays a considerable role in this and has contributed a lot.
Yes, the United Kingdom was also affected by the Asian financial crisis in 2006, but it was a non-war crime. What is particularly worth mentioning is that France and Germany, which are also European powers, were not harmed by this.
Muscles and bones.
Why is this? Is it because hedge funds can affect the United Kingdom, which has an extremely advanced financial industry, but cannot have a fatal impact on countries that focus on the real economy?
As the so-called world financial center, the only one that can compete with New York in the United States is London in the United Kingdom. Other places are much worse, not Paris, not Tokyo.
"Without the real economy, where would the financial industry come from?" Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, but did not take the other party's words to heart. He could understand the ambitions of these financiers, but the investment promotion he did was to engage in entities, not
Simply introduce hot money into the country. "Am I the two people I know who are interested in investing in China?"
"Vodafone is interested in investing in China, but the problem is that your country is unwilling to agree." Seeing that he asked confidently, Nick interrupted with a smile, but it was just a joke.
Today we are all sitting together to get to know each other in case of emergency. After all, any financial institution is willing to get to know and make friends with a master who holds two billion US dollars, so everyone said the same thing
Be more casual and relaxed.
"In the communications operation industry, we are not open for the time being, but the time to open is not far away." Chen Taizhong smiled slightly. He has become more and more accustomed to talking nonsense, and this good habit has been maintained for a long time.
"I completely believe this." One of the financiers nodded casually, and then his eyes lit up, "I forgot, there is a project that everyone can cooperate on. Have you heard of the "Galileo Countermeasures"?"
"Yes, I know a little bit." Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded. Then he frowned and shook his head, "However, I think it is unrealistic for Phoenix City to obtain such a cooperation project, or Ariane Rockets will be a little more objective."
"I mean cooperation with China." The person frowned upon hearing this. "The possibility of cooperation between China and Europe exists. Europe hates the prevention of monopoly."
"Oh, then you obviously asked the wrong person, little one." Chen Taizhong will never get involved in similar things again. Interfering in the Olympic bid has already made him full of black threads. Now that he is involved in the Galileo plan, he will probably spend the rest of his life.
He also has to deal with relevant departments. It’s not that he is unpatriotic. But he thinks that this matter can still develop without him?
Yes, he is not an indispensable role in it. Mr. Chen was very sure of this. So he turned to look at Mr. Congressman, "Nick, I have to say, your expectations of me are too high. As a person who has been placed in
High expectations, I’m under a lot of pressure.”
"On March 4th, Aston Villa will face Arsenal. As a staunch Aston Villa fan, I am also under a lot of pressure." Nick smiled. Looking at him, he obviously disagreed with Chen Taizhong's answer.
Chen Taizhong didn't have any specific gains from this trip to England, but Nick agreed and tried his best to delay Coke's quota, "You have to act faster, April at the latest, no matter how long it takes, I really
No guarantee can be made.
In view of this warning, Chen Taizhong had to call Tian Liping to urge him. Mayor Tian remained calm and said, "The goods are easy to come by and can be shipped to him at any time. The key is that the procedures of this coal and coke group are a bit difficult...
It’s hard to cover the chapter.”
In fact, taking over this matter is also a great test for Tian Liping. Not to mention that the current boss of Phoenix City, Zhang Yaodong, is extremely powerful. It is just that Duan Weihua originally started this matter. Now that he is taking over, there are people who say no.
Clear little trouble.
Nick didn't care much about this. After spending two days with Chen Taizhong, he suggested that since you really want to build a real entity, let's go to Germany. The Germanic real economy is second to none in Europe.
Yes, by the way, we can also promote your rice wine, right?
Chen Taizhong definitely agreed with his suggestion. But he had to point out one point, "Nick, the Quyang Huang I gave you to drink belongs to Jia Ji. When it is promoted on a large scale, Jia Ji's production may not be able to keep up. In other words,
The packaging of the goods next time may not be exactly the same."
This is true. Jia Ji is famous in Quyang. However, because it is produced in a small workshop, the rice wine sold every day is only about one thousand kilograms, most of which are loose wine. The profit is between three thousand and five thousand yuan.
It's better to rely on their high profits. It's not that they don't want to sell, but they can only produce so much every day unless the production scale is expanded.
"Eat that family." Nick's answer was not only casual but also ruthless. It was a bit self-righteous like a sheep eating a human. "Don't tell me you can't do it. Do you know how a brand should be run? Changing orders day by day will only harm you."
Brands make a huge impact.”
"This is not very good." Chen Taizhong shook his head. He had robbed and robbed not once or twice, but Jia Ji was a long-established folk name and had not provoked him. Why would he interrupt people's livelihood? "If this is the case,
If the family doesn’t agree, just make some changes to the packaging.”
"But this doesn't match your sample." Nick shook his head. He really couldn't understand. This guy was causing trouble abroad. How could he be so honest when he returned to China? "Is the "system" you said in your mouth so terrible?
"
The word "system" in his mouth was said in Chinese, but it was considered the harvest of the Nigerian congressman's many dealings with Chinese cadres. However, Chen Taizhong continued to shake his head. "This has nothing to do with the system, you don't understand." Anyway, since
It’s a sample, so it’s normal for it to be different from the original product, right?”
"I just hope that you can maintain a style from beginning to end, which is very important for the brand." Nick curled his lips and shrugged, "Do you know how big a sensation Coca-Cola caused when it changed its formula?
?”
Quote Chapter 68 Little Girl
Chen Taizhong went to Germany not only to promote rice wine and attract investment, but also to help contact the sales of Chinese medicinal materials. This was something that Zheng Lin's executive deputy mayor and his old director Qin Liancheng had long ago confessed.
At the same time, he also wanted to use Nick's advice to talk to people from Vodafone to see if he could separate the industrial production part of Mannesmann and sell it to himself. According to everyone's analysis, Vodafone completed the acquisition of Mannesmann.
After the merger and acquisition, only the mobile communications part will be left, and the rest will probably be packaged and sold.
Nick thought so too, so after entering Germany, the two of them were busy with their own business. Two days later, the two met again, and the Nickian congressman brought some not-so-good news, "It seems that Salzgitter was very interested in Mann."
Nesman's casting is of great interest."
Salzgitter is also a well-known steel company in Germany, ranking only after ThyssenKrupp. After they acquire Mannesmann, will the gap with ThyssenKrupp further narrow?
"What about the industrial control part?" Chen Taizhong is not particularly interested in the casting part. Moreover, at this point, domestic competition with Salzgitter does not have any advantages. A German company can buy the iron factory and build it locally.
Production, and if he helps Mengyi buy the iron factory back to Bikong, all equipment and facilities will have to ※
As a result, the cost will be much higher. If there is no one competing, this is not a problem. But if there are people bidding in one county, it will not be fun.
"Industrial control is more complicated. It may be divided between Siemens and ThyssenKrupp." Nick shook his head. "There is no clear statement on this point. We can only say that we are negotiating."
"Then just line up," Chen Taizhong sighed, and raised his hand to pat Congressman Ni on the shoulder, "I will notify the relevant people in the country to do the operation. Of course, this matter cannot be done without your help."
In short, the trip to Germany was not particularly effective. I still couldn’t tell what the rice wine was about. Mannesmann’s place was also greasy, but the matter of Chinese medicinal materials was a bit clear. Chen Taizhong found two agencies that sell Chinese medicinal materials.
, both parties left their contact numbers and faxes. As for the price and specifications of the acquisition, they all had standard quotations, and it didn’t take much trouble.
The next step is to go to Milan, Italy, where Anthony is already waiting, and Xun Dejian has also passed by. Milan Fashion Week is slightly behind Paris Fashion Week, and is now being planned in full swing.
Chen Taizhong had already planned to introduce Chinese-designed clothing to Milan Fashion Week, but he has always been troubled by one thing or another. Even this time, he was on the right track, and Chatterbox Xun always remembered,
I promised Director Chen that I would do my part in Milan Fashion Week.
Therefore, Director Chen’s trip to Italy was not planned by him at all, but was promoted by Xun Dejian. Of course, Mr. Xun intended to use the Xun family’s connections and abilities to force domestic clothing into the fashion week.
This is worthy of encouragement, so he must go and support it.
But it is very regrettable that when Chen Taizhong made the decision at that time, it was only based on momentary indignation. There are too many bad things that he did not seriously implement after returning to China, so at the moment, even if the organizing committee of Milan Fashion Week allows
When clothes designed by Chinese people come on stage, he doesn't have any suitable recommendations or companies.
Fortunately, this is not a missed opportunity. After Xun Dejian found out, he said that it was indeed a bit difficult to rashly recommend a few unknown designers to the stage. It would be good to ask the organizing committee for some exhibition quotas this time.
As mentioned before, Milan, in particular, is the most wary of Chinese people at international fashion shows. Generally speaking, Chinese people are not allowed to watch them at all. Anyone with status will be treated coldly if they enter.
Therefore, it is considered a great success to be able to get in to watch this time. Although compared to people from other countries, this is still a bit discriminatory. But it is already a great progress.
Talkative Xun then chattered a few more words, "You have to eat one bite at a time and walk step by step. If you can attend the spring and summer fashion show this time, it will be easier to participate in the autumn and winter fashion show next time. If you can do it in one go
, it’s a bit difficult.”
Nick had no idea that Chinese people who wanted to visit Milan Fashion Week would be subject to such discrimination. When talking about this on the plane, he was very surprised, "No way? Italian clothing has a lot of creativity.
But they are all from France."
How about saying that Paris Fashion Week is the best? That’s true at all. As a rising star among the four major fashion weeks, Milan Fashion Week is becoming more and more popular, but compared to Paris, it is still not the same.
The simplest example is the fashion and leather goods produced in Italy, which are well-known in the world. However, on these clothes, you can often see similar labels "Style creativity comes from Paris."
This shows that Italy is also a lover of copycats, but they have added one more, just to thank them, and because the quality of Italian clothing is not low, most designers will not feel insulted.
As for whether the designer will be paid for the remake, that is a matter that can be discussed. Particularly famous design masters must be paid, and some even sign contracts before the remake. This is normal.
But for most less famous designers, the money you give them may not be as cost-effective as acknowledging them on their clothes. Isn’t this considered soft advertising? And as long as the replicas don’t completely plagiarize the originals, most people don’t bother to pursue them. In short, everything is fine.
It's negotiable.
This knowledge came from Nick's comments. Chen Taizhong really didn't know anything about it, so he could only listen carefully. After listening, he let out a strange sigh. "The Italians think that they have no problem imitating Parisian clothes."
Can’t the Chinese imitate their clothes?”
"I think Chinese clothing" Nick said excitedly. Just before he said a few more words like "Do you have clothing in China?", he suddenly saw something strange on this guy's face, and he swallowed the rest of it abruptly.
go back.
He is a national leader, so he certainly knows what other nationalists are most afraid of. He coughed twice and said, "This is normal, because you are trying to destroy Italian jobs."
"Shameless!" Chen Taizhong was quite disdainful of this kind of behavior that only allowed state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps. However, thinking about the counterfeiting phenomenon that the windmill encountered a while ago, he was a little speechless for a moment, so he coughed twice to change the subject. "
What happened to the Chinese clothes you just said?" "Well." Nick looked around in the seats and replied incoherently, "Chinese clothes, um, I mean they should have Chinese characteristics? You
Guess who I saw?"
"Who?" Chen Taizhong followed his gaze and found that this guy was actually staring at a lucky middle-aged aunt, "I have to admit, Nick, your aesthetic views seem to have changed."
"This is Mueller, the general secretary of the Christian Democratic Union." Nick rolled his eyes at him and explained, "She sat down behind the scenes of the Christian Democratic Union's black gold case! Don't you know?"
"Oh, I seem to have heard of it." Chen Taizhong nodded. The last time he and Catherine went to Mannesmann, it was when the black gold case was in full swing. Vodafone and Mannesmann were maliciously forced into the palace, and they became two headlines in German newspapers at the time.
A big hot topic. The merger of Rhône-Poulenc and Hearst Corporation has far outshone the limelight.
"But this is Cole's little girl. Isn't this girl a little too old?" Chen Taizhong shook his head disdainfully. In his impression, everyone said that this woman was a vase. "Look
None of them are pretty.”
"This woman is amazing." Nick shook his head calmly. "She was the biggest beneficiary in the black gold case, and she decisively broke off the relationship with Helmut Kohl." Kohl's little girl
,? Haha, Cole’s Undertaker is pretty much the same. Without Cole’s support, she wouldn’t be where she is today.”
This Helmut Kohl is the former chairman of the Christian Democratic Union, the longest-serving German chancellor after Bismarck, and the big man who was most deeply affected by the black gold case.
"Is this woman so sinister?" Chen Taizhong was a little stunned when he heard that, and he looked at Murrell carefully. Secretary Mo felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and looked this way, and nodded slightly at Nick and Chen Taizhong.
It suddenly dawned on him that the German politicians were not necessarily that good. Director Chen was curious and had to ask the Nigerian congressman a few more questions. However, Nick was just a gangster. Although he is now trying to get into the system, Secretary Mo is
As a German, it's pretty good that he can recognize this woman. He really can't tell much in detail.
"April and May of this year are very critical for her. It seems that the Christian Democratic Union is about to elect its chairman. If she can occupy this position, there is hope for her to become the German Chancellor in the future."
Just talking nonsense. Milan arrived. When they got off the plane, they were so close to each other that they met Mueller again. Nick was interested, so he said hello to Secretary Mo, "Hi, hello, is this Mueller?"
Madam you?"
He will soon be the Speaker of the Birmingham Local Council. It is also necessary to maintain certain contacts and personal relationships with German dignitaries. Secretary Mo nodded calmly, "It's me. Who are you?"
The Nigerian congressman revealed his identity. When Murrell heard that this was a British congressman, he was interested in chatting. When he saw Chen Taizhong following the congressman, he couldn't help but ask, "Hello. Are you Japanese?"
person?"
"I'm Chinese." Chen Taizhong replied with a smile. He had some opinions about this woman's repayment of kindness, but what does the fighting between Germans have to do with him? He couldn't help but nodded, "Nice to meet you."
"Chinese." The smile that appeared on Mueller's face immediately froze. He paused before nodding slightly, "You speak German well. Are you Taiwanese?"
"I'm from the People's Republic of China. I'm the director of the European Office of Fenghuang City, Tiannan Province. My name is Chen Taizhong. Hey, why are you leaving?" Chen Taizhong couldn't stand the other party's reaction. Murrell smiled at first.
His face froze as he laughed, and then slowly sank. When he announced his identity as a cadre, Secretary Mo turned around and left without even saying hello. It was really rude.
"Is this woman going through menopause?" Director Chen couldn't help but turned to look at Nick next to him, "Does she think she is the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party? I hate this woman!"
"Haha." Nick finally couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed loudly. The people next to him laughed until they turned their heads. He stopped laughing, "Oh, Chen, please don't mind her being rude to you. This is very...
normal."
"Why is it normal?" Chen Taizhong's face was so straight that it almost looked like a donkey's, and he looked at him sinisterly.
"Murrell is from the Democratic Republic of Germany. Although the two Germanys have merged, her identity as an East German still arouses resentment among the West Germans from time to time." Nick spread his hands. It was rare that he could see it at a glance.
to the essence of things.
"She has announced her break with the Communist Party, so she must do this to you, an official of Red China, to express her determination. This is a matter of position. Believe me, if she becomes the German Chancellor, Sino-German relations will be greatly affected."
It’s very bad. Unless the majority of Germans want to improve Sino-German relations, not the majority but the vast majority.”
"I'm not very interested in such repetitive villains." When Chen Taizhong heard this explanation, he finally nodded in enlightenment and stopped talking to Nick. "First he betrayed his own beliefs. Then he betrayed his own integrity.
If a person like this can become the Chancellor of Germany, I have to say that it will be a tragedy for Germany."
"Politicians, that's how they should be." Nick was still laughing, and his handsome face was a little distorted when he smiled, making someone really want to punch him.
After walking out of the airport, Anthony and Xun Dejian were already waiting outside. Not long after Chen Taizhong got in the car, he received a call, "There was an explosion at the door of a police station in Corsica. Three people were injured. This situation is a bit weird."
"
"Uncle Huang, I really didn't instigate this," Chen Taizhong explained in a dumbfounded voice, "I just got off the plane and went to Mr. Mi, please don't be too imaginative, okay?"
Tsk, it’s still No. 7 in the city, and it’s another seven thousand words, by the way. On the current Guanxian book page, there is a selection of Lili’s annual works in the past years. Please vote for Guanxian, both annual and monthly.
