The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 586 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. Besides the electronics, machinery, precision instruments and other industries that support their industrial system, the most famous one is the automobile.

  As the hometown of automobiles and one of the most famous automobile cities in the world, Stuttgart is the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and the birthplace of Porsche. Here, the three-pointed star of Mercedes-Benz has become the symbol of the city, and the pattern of the Porsche logo is a sample of the city emblem of Stuttgart.

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

  When Zhong Shi’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 building and the airport, other areas have been plunged into darkness. But despite this, there are still many people waiting quietly at the gangway.

   Standing at the forefront of the welcoming team is naturally Gao Han. In fact, after Zhongshi had a conversation with him, he soon came to Germany. During this time, he has been active in the Frankfurt and Stuttgart exchanges, hoping to find some clues about Porsche and Volkswagen.

   Beside Gao Han is a middle-sized German, a little older, with gray temples, kind-hearted features, and a pleasant smile, which makes people feel close at first sight. This gentleman is called Hans Schroeder, and he is the butler of the Porsche family.

Behind Hans Schroeder stood a tall blond girl with exquisite features and a good face. She was slightly radiant with a little makeup. In addition, she was wearing a light gray professional attire. The convex and curved figure is clearly visible. In the terminal building, there were many men secretly looking at the blonde girl, but the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the girl's nose made her a bit colder, giving people a feeling of keeping a respectful distance.

  At this time, she was leaning over to say something in Hans Schroeder's ear. Maybe it was because the waiting time was too long, the girl's face showed a bit of impatience, but because Gao Han was by her side, she couldn't complain too much.

Her name is Anna Merkel, and she is a student at the University of Stuttgart. Because she had studied in China for two years and was a student of mechanical engineering, she was hired as a personal assistant by Hans Schroeder during this period. Specially responsible for receiving guests from the Far East, including Zhongshi.

  Five meters away from the three of them stood five bodyguards in black and sunglasses. They were distributed around the three Porsche Cayennes, constantly monitoring the abnormal situation around them.

  When the Boeing 777 docked in front of the gangway with a buzzing roar, the cabin door opened and only two passengers, Zhongshi and Jiangshan, came out. And even though Hans Schroeder was well-informed, he couldn't help showing a slight look of surprise on his face.

   Two people charter a plane, this journey is too extravagant, the two thought in unison. It's just that they never imagined that this is not a charter plane at all, but a genuine private jet.

   Gao Han was extremely excited, and wished he could climb up to the cabin to see what happened, but the bell stone was right in front of him, so he definitely didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. At the moment, he didn't care about visiting the plane, and hurriedly introduced Hans Schroeder and Anna Merkel to Zhongshi.

"I'm really sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long." Zhong Shi shook hands with them one by one with a little apology, and let Gao Han translate, "It is very important to me personally to be able to attend Mr. Wolfgang Porsche's birthday party. It is a great honor. I have always been a loyal user of the Porsche brand and hope to witness the birth of more classic Porsche models in the future.”

"It is also an honor for us to invite a gentleman like you to attend the banquet." Hans Schroeder was also very polite, holding Zhong Shi's hand tightly and said, "For you to agree with our brand, We are very grateful for this. We are very grateful to Mr. Zhong for coming, and we look forward to more development opportunities in the future.”

   I'm afraid the last sentence is the key point. While dealing with Hans Schroeder with a smile, Zhong Shi secretly thought in his heart. However, he did not express this idea. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two parties got into the Cayenne and drove towards the city center.

   "What have you heard lately?"

  Zhong Shi leaned back on the back chair and dozed off. The upside-down jet lag made him sleepless, and the words of the Porsche family butler after he got off the plane made him full of vigilance. Under such circumstances, he naturally needed to know what happened here. He didn't believe that the other party would simply invite him to attend Wolfgang Porsche's meeting without any intention. You must know that this so-called birthday party is to a large extent a place for communication, and many important initial business intentions are reached on this occasion.

"I really found something!" Gao Han, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned his head with excitement on his face, "I won't say much about the historical grievances between Porsche and Volkswagen. According to the information I recently obtained, Wolfgang Porsche is very likely to acquire Volkswagen, at least he has the intention. But so far, I can't judge the authenticity of this news, but since two years ago, Porsche has slowly begun to They have increased their holdings of Volkswagen shares. As of the last disclosure, their holdings of Volkswagen shares have reached 30%, which has to be said to be a strong proof.”

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

  Ferdinand Porsche, one of the founders and designers of Volkswagen, once designed the Beetle. After leaving Volkswagen, Ferdinand Porsche created his own family car brand Porsche. After his death, the shares of Porsche Company were equally inherited by his son and daughter, but after entering the third generation of the Porsche family, Ferdinand Porsche's grandson and grandsons fought fiercely because of the inheritance rights. This prompted Ferdinand Porsche's son to make the decision to withdraw from the management, and since then the business of the Porsche company has become managed by non-Porsche family members.

  Ferdinand Piech, who was forced to leave, is the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche. After realizing that it was impossible for him to be in charge of Porsche, he came to Audi, a subsidiary of German Volkswagen, as the head of the design department, and gradually rose to become the CEO of Volkswagen within 20 years, and finally became the chairman of Volkswagen.

  The problem is that Volkswagen is also the brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche, and taking Volkswagen into his arms has always been the dream of the Porsche family. Although his cousin was in charge of Volkswagen, and even though he had to fight against the brothers, Wolfgang Porsche soon turned the flames of war on Volkswagen.

  In fact, in 2005, the Porsche family began to increase its stake in Volkswagen. It first became the largest shareholder of Volkswagen in September, and then increased its holdings again in November of the following year, reaching 27.3%. After Wolfgang Porsche came to power, only two months after the last increase in holdings, Porsche chose to increase its holdings of Volkswagen shares again, making the shareholding reach an astonishing 30.9%.

   This time, Porsche can be described as "Sima Zhao's heart, known to all passers-by".

"But the problem now is that no one knows whether they are interested in the investment value of Volkswagen, or whether they really took back Ferdinand Porsche's efforts as rumored." Gao Han could only shake his head secretly, "If it is the former, This is very likely to be the pure investment choice of the Porsche family. If it is the latter, this kind of investment seems irrational. After all, the profit in the low-end car market is limited, and the profit of Porsche sports cars is almost common to all. It's just too irrational."

"It should be the latter!" Zhong Shi laughed silently. Although Gao Han's analysis was fairly comprehensive, he completely ignored a cultural influence. Unmatched anywhere else.

  The two discussed enthusiastically for a long time, only to find that Jiang Shan, who was in the same car, hadn't spoken since getting in the car, which surprised them. After noticing Jiang Shan's disappointed expression and frequent movements of looking up at the car behind, Zhong Shi and Gao Han looked at each other and smiled, Zhong Shi deliberately coughed and asked seriously, "What are you looking at? Jiang Shan, is there anything behind the car?" ?”

  Jiang Shan, who was staring blankly at the back of the car, was taken aback. He quickly turned around and pretended to reply: "Nothing, nothing. This is my first time in Germany, just to see the scenery around me."

"Landscape? What kind of scenery is there?" Gao Han stretched out his head very cooperatively, looked around, and asked puzzledly, "It's so dark, how can you see the scenery clearly? Jiangshan, are you looking at A dark night in Germany? Is the night here any different from the night in Hong Kong?"

  Jiang Shan's face turned red when his lie was exposed, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Actually, I was looking at that Miss Anna, I have never seen a foreign girl who can speak Chinese so well!"

  Anna Merkel has a hot body, **** and enchanting, but she has a feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away, which has to be said to be a fatal temptation for men. It's no wonder that Jiang Shan was deeply fascinated after looking at each other for a few times.

   "This girl is still a student at the University of Stuttgart, you have to take it easy and don't cause any trouble!" Gao Han smiled and kindly persuaded her.

  In the impression of ordinary people, Germans are rigorous and old-fashioned, but these traits rarely appear in the younger generation of Germans. In fact, young people in Germany are the craziest group of people in Europe. All night parties, endless drinking, promiscuity, etc., attract young people from all over Europe.

  The trouble that Gao Han refers to refers to "human life". Because of the different views on abortion, some Christian believers do not choose to kill the little life after pregnancy, but choose to give birth. In this case, the man may be required to pay for child support and fulfill his father's responsibility to a certain extent. And all of this can be described as "trouble" for the current country.

   "So she was a student, I thought she was a relative of the Porsche family!" Zhong Shi laughed when he heard Gao Han's words. When he saw Anna, he also felt amazed, but he was no longer a young man like Jiang Shan, so naturally he would not have the reaction of thinking about gains and losses like Jiang Shan.

  Because he didn't know whether Gao Han was teasing him or seriously giving advice, Jiang Shan could only smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Wait, this person may be useful to us!" Just when Gao Han was about to tease Jiangshan a few more words, Zhong Shi suddenly said, "Since she is Mr. Hans' personal assistant, maybe she has the opportunity to hear some Insider, that might 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 suitable for her." Just as the saying goes, Zhong Shi doesn't mind what the two of them are thinking. He turned his head and said to Jiang Shan with a smile, "Go after her. It's wonderful."

  At this moment, Zhong Shi looked like the big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.
