Chapter 693 Low-key luxury (4K chapter)

The distance from Beijing to Frankfurt, Germany, is similar to the distance to London. If you take an ordinary plane for [-] hours, it will be boring and difficult.

For the top rich man who owns an A380, there is nothing boring and boring.

There are all kinds of entertainment facilities on the plane, and there are beautiful women to accompany you, so you can be as happy as you want.

Yao Xinlu took a long vacation for more than a week. This was the first time she took such a long break after serving under Wu Qian. Especially when she returned home after staying in Solan for a while, her body and mind were greatly improved. Relax.

The father and daughter have talked many times, and the content is of course inseparable from Wu Qian's career in Solan.

Although the development of Bai Peila has not been broadcast by the official media, if you want to know the situation, the crew on the cargo ships entering and leaving the port have already brought the news to all over the world. In this regard, Yao Xinlu did not keep it secret for Wu Qian, and discussed it with her father for a long time .

As for the munitions factory, laboratory, and Albert, Yao Xinlu didn't mention a word.

On the plane, it was lunch time during the Chinese dynasty, and Wu Qian and Yao Xinlu were dining at the restaurant.

Even if it is only for a very small number of people, the ingredients are absolutely plentiful and fresh. If this cannot be guaranteed, Wu Qian will consider directly switching to another airline to manage his own plane.

The sumptuous Beijing-style delicacies on the table are mouth-watering. No matter where you go or how many delicacies you eat, what people love most is the taste of their hometown.

"Lulu, I used to consult Barbara about investment matters, and now she is busy with laboratory materials scheduling. Can you help me collect business information from Germany, how about it?"

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Yao Xinlu put down her chopsticks and said, "Going to a big industrial country, can't you hold back?"

Wu Qian made a strange expression and did not deny Yao Xinlu's words.

Whether the industry is developed or not directly determines whether a country is developed. Germany, as one of the most industrially developed countries in the world, of course Wu Qian must learn from the experience and introduce some advanced industrial industries to Solan.

"You may know more about Solan's situation than I do. There is almost no industry on a large scale. It is impossible to develop like this. It is an empty shell. Industry is the backbone of the country. If it develops slowly, when my hair turns gray Maybe it will get better, so it’s better to just buy, buy, buy.”

Wu Qian said.

It would be great if it could develop its own characteristics, but the development of industry is directly linked to talents. Today's Solan does not have so many talents to drive, and it takes time to accumulate in this regard.

Yao Xinlu nodded and said, "Germany's industry is indeed well-developed. Many fields are at the forefront of the world. The advanced system is worth learning from. Which industry are you interested in?"

Wu Qiandao: "I really haven't thought about it deeply. It can be used for light and heavy industries, mainly to drive Solan's employment and consumption. That... worth tens of billions of pounds is fine. It's too embarrassing, haha."

In order to support the development of Bai Peila, including the acquisition of Qiming Shipping Group, Wu Qian has successively invested more than 220 billion pounds, and now he only has a little over [-] billion pounds left in his pocket.

Although the companies under the name will receive a large amount of money every day, those funds must first be used to ensure the normal operation of each group, not for expansion and acquisitions, and it is impossible to always follow the model of the acquisition logo Tielong .

Wu Qian has always disliked debt investment. That is not his routine. If real money is used to acquire several companies in Germany, it is really necessary to make careful calculations and optimize choices.

Yao Xinlu thought about it seriously, wiped her mouth with a silk scarf, stood up, and said: "There is already an Internet connection, I'll go to work first, you take your time."

After finishing speaking, Yao Xinlu left the restaurant. She always maintains a high enthusiasm for work, which is her joy of life.

Wu Qian was not as "progressive" as she was. She slept comfortably on the plane for a while at noon, and after getting up, went to the game room to play VR games with a few bodyguards for an afternoon.

Life is so monotonous, simple and unpretentious.

The plane took off at [-]:[-] am, and after twelve hours of flight, it arrived at Frankfurt International Airport at [-]:[-] pm China time and [-]:[-] pm German time, and stayed up until the evening to rest just to beat the jet lag.

As the third largest international airport in Europe, Frankfurt Airport provides more comprehensive flight destinations than Heathrow International Airport, but it is not as good as Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle in terms of passenger flow, ranking third in Europe.

At the same time, Frankfurt Airport is the business base of Lufthansa, and it is also the second largest A380 fleet base in the world after Dubai. Lufthansa has 380 A[-]s operating at Frankfurt Airport.

But the above factors are not the main reasons why Wu Qian chose to fly to Frankfurt instead of Berlin or Munich. The most important thing is that Stefan specially prepared a villa in the suburbs of Frankfurt for him to receive Wu Qian.

Of course, the reception methods of the top rich people are different from ordinary people.

The smiling face A380 pierced through the clouds and appeared in the sky over Frankfurt. It was the first time for Wu Qian to overlook this country that has been making troubles around the world for nearly a hundred years from the air.

"Frankfurt am Main..."

Looking at Frankfurt from a bird's eye view, Wu Qian whispered the full name of the city.

There are two cities in Germany called Frankfurt, one is Frankfurt am Oder, and the other is Frankfurt am Main below the plane. There is a certain gap between the two cities in terms of size, economy, and population.

Frankfurt am Main is the fifth largest city in Germany and the largest city in Hesse. It is also an important industrial, commercial, financial and transportation center in Germany and Europe. It is located in the lower reaches of the Main River, a tributary of the middle Rhine River.

The other city, also called Frankfurt, is not so famous. It is mainly based on industries such as textiles and wood processing.

After a while, the plane landed smoothly, and a group of people got out of the plane.

When he set foot on the land of Germany, Wu Qian felt a sense of seriousness and seriousness floating in the air, and felt a little heavy because of the subtle influence of media propaganda over the years.

This kind of seriousness and seriousness is reflected in the maintenance, airport runways and buildings, as well as Stefan with a smile on his face.

The sharp suit and meticulous hairstyle make Sifante, who is less than 40 years old, look extremely calm. As a friend and business partner, of course he has to pick up Wu Qian at the airport, but he did not bring a large team, only an assistant and bodyguard.

"Wu, good afternoon, there must be nothing wrong this time."

Stefan reached out to say hello. The last time he said "good afternoon" to Wu Qian, it turned out that Wu Qian was in the Celestial Dynasty, and it was already night. This time the two met in Germany, so it was unmistakable.

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Good afternoon, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"There is no trouble. Oh, the masterpiece of the Rolls-Royce factory... Let's go, Wu, let's talk again at the place where we live."

Stefan saw that Wu Qian's Rolls-Royce Phantom had landed, and he waved his hand to indicate where to settle down first.

As the helm of the younger generation of Baoma Group, Stefan's car is a Baoma without any surprise, but the model is a bit surprising.

Wu Qian watched in disbelief as Stefan walked towards the Baoma Series [-] parked not far away. At first he thought it was a car from the airport, but he didn't expect it to be Stefan's car, which made him very surprised up.

It’s not that the Baoma Series [-] is bad, but Stefan is a billionaire, and his family business manufactures cars. It’s not an exaggeration to drive an M series model with high comfort and excellent performance...

"I'm sorry, it's said that the rich in Germany are low-key. This is a bit too low-key..."

Before coming to Germany, Wu Qian also did some work and learned some related folk customs. He knows that Germans are low-key, especially the German rich. Even face to face, not to mention life-related information, is hard to find.

In Germany, there are usually no fences or guards in high-end wealthy areas. The exterior design of the villas is not conspicuous, and the gardening in front of the courtyard is the same as in ordinary places. Most people do not notice that the owner of the villa is special.

Some rich people even write several names on the door plate at the gate of the villa, making people feel that there are several families living in this luxurious villa. In fact, the entire villa lives with the rich family, and the names on the door plate are alias...

Many rich people don't even know their true faces to the outside world. When they walk on the street, they are just like ordinary passers-by, and they don't attract attention at all.

The unique culture allows Germans to develop a low-key living habit. It seems that the richer they are, the more low-key they are.

Wu Qian looked at Stefan who was sitting in the driver's seat of the third series, and then turned to look at his Rolls-Royce Phantom, feeling a little hot on his face.

Wu Qian also claims to be very low-key. He refuses all media interviews that can be refused. He buys luxury cars and planes only for his own normal enjoyment, and there is absolutely no element of showing off.

But if it is compared with Stefan, the judgment will be judged.

"Well, one way of life per person, one culture per country, yes, don't compare..."

Wu Qian comforted himself, sitting in his car still smells good, after all, it is comfortable.

Apart from the Rolls-Royce Phantom, there is only a super sports car that Wu Qian brought to Germany for fun on the smiling face A380, and there is no means of transportation for the Spade Troops, but this small matter does not bother them. Rented a car.

Five cars drove out of the airport together, and drove directly towards the southern suburbs without passing through the city of Frankfurt, and drove onto the country road after a while.

Wu Qian felt that if he wanted to experience the folk customs and culture of a country, it was a very good choice to go to the countryside of this country, because many folk customs are more thoroughly preserved in the countryside than in the cities.

On the winding dual carriageway, the passing vehicles were extremely well behaved. Stefan, who was in the lead, drove very fast, and seemed not at all worried that the other car would press the dotted line in the middle of the road and hit him.

This scene made Wu Qian feel emotional. He once chatted with a Chinese car critic. The car critic went to Germany for a month on a business trip for the Frankfurt International Auto Show. Will drive on the road.

The Germans are very disciplined on the road, otherwise the only highway with no speed limit in the world would not be born.

It's a pity that the only highway with no speed limit has recently had a speed limit, and the speed is limited to 360 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the speed of an airplane taking off.

When he saw the news, Wu Qian joked that 90.00% of the five cars on the market would not be able to reach the speed limit if the speedometer exploded...

On both sides of the road are empty grasslands, and the sun is shining on the semi-dry grasslands. Every tens or hundreds of meters, there is a snow-white wind turbine standing slowly under the blue sky and white clouds.

The beautiful scenery is as beautiful as a scene in Grimm's fairy tales.

The convoy passed a house built not far from the roadside. The wooden structure of the house was well-built and neat, with low wooden fences forming the courtyard wall.

A five or six-year-old girl is wearing a eider-yellow hat and sitting on the grass next to the house sketching. If the little girl's hat is changed to red, she will look like the Little Red Riding Hood in fairy tales.

Farther away, the steeple of the church towered among the trees, the treetops swayed in the gust of wind, and a group of unknown birds fluttered. Everything looked very beautiful and natural.

After driving for about four to ten minutes, the convoy passed through the winding road and entered a woodland. Looking at the changes in the surrounding scenery, Wu Qian would not have dared to go further if not for more than a dozen bodyguards following him.

From the urban area to the suburbs, from the suburbs to the countryside, and from the countryside to the forest.

Finally, the leading Baoma [-] series drove to the gate of a manor house hidden in the forest. Stefan's assistant got out of the car and opened the iron gate, raising his hand to signal the convoy to come in.

After passing through the gate, after a section of about 50 meters long stone road, the vehicle drove to an extraordinary mansion.

Looking back on the journey along the way, Wu Qian sighed in his heart. I am afraid that only Germans who are so low-key and outrageous would build such a luxury house in the jungle.

When commercial housing in some cities opens, the advertisements will advertise that they are far away from the hustle and bustle and close to nature, but if compared with this villa built in the mountains, it is simply a fraud.

What does it mean to be away from the hustle and bustle, there are no outsiders for a few kilometers around, what does it mean to be close to nature, open the window and you will see forests, rivers and distant mountains...

This mansion hidden in the woods is a good example of what low-key luxury is. Luxury only needs to be enjoyed by oneself, not shown in front of others.

Wu Qian got out of the car and saw Stefan approaching, he said: "Stefan, this place is awesome, is the real estate yours?"

Stefan nodded and said, "Yes, I like the environment in Frankfurt very much. I bought this manor five years ago. Unfortunately, I have been busy in Munich and have no time to live."

"The nearby [-]-hectare forest is a private area. Hunting is allowed. As long as you don't hunt and kill protected animals, there is no problem. The west is bounded by the Main River. Crossing the river does not belong to the scope of the estate."

Stefan looked at the direction of the Main River with his hands on his hips, with undisguised yearning on his face, it could be seen that he wanted to live here, but he was at a hard-working age, and his family would not allow him to enjoy retirement in advance.

The rich N generation also has its own difficulties.

While speaking, Stefan signaled Wu to go into the house.
