Chapter 702 The Shadow in the Dark (4K Chapter)

Yao Xinlu smiled. Of course she knew that Wu Qian was from the capital, so she became more and more confused about the origin of the key. Normal people would have curiosity, but she still didn't take the initiative to ask Wu Qian.

"I only know so much information. You know about history. The history in the eyes of foreigners and the history in the eyes of local people are two different things. If you want to know more about the ins and outs of the Medici family, you can consider contacting that person. Italian friends, let's see if he has an answer that is closer to the facts."

The history of each country has different interpretations and understandings in the minds of people from different countries. This kind of thing is not clear who is right and who is wrong. The phenomenon of beautifying and maliciously smearing as much as possible exists. It is not a question of right or wrong, but a different perspective.

Official records may not be true, and folk rumors may not be false.

Wu Qian knew that Yao Xinlu meant to ask Rapo Elkann about another layer of history hidden beneath the seemingly real ones. He nodded, intending to ask Rapo Elkann carefully, hoping to Find out about the mysterious key.

"By the way, how long do you think it will take you to complete the acquisition of ThyssenKrupp?" Wu Qian asked.

After talking about the coat of arms, Wu Qian finally thought about the acquisition.

Yao Xinlu made a rough estimate in her mind, and said, "If it is slow, it will be a month, if it is fast, it will be two weeks."

For an acquisition involving a capital of up to 80 billion euros, such efficiency can be achieved quite quickly. It is common for some acquisitions that are much smaller than this to be delayed for several months or even a year or a half.

"Stefan told me today that the steel can be smelted in two days, so I will take the ultra-high-strength steel to Solan first, and leave the matter here to you. Is there any problem?"

Wu Qian asked.

"As long as you don't worry, my side is not a big problem. It depends on whether you have any plans after the acquisition is completed."

Yao Xinlu said.

Acquisition is only a matter of process. What to do after the acquisition is the key issue. Yao Xinlu believes that Wu Qian's purchase of ThyssenKrupp will not be simply used to create wealth.

Wu Qian turned around and leaned against the fence, thought for a while, and said: "I have an idea to move the steel-related industrial projects to Solan, but it will affect the whole body. I don't know if it will be too difficult to operate."

The iron and steel industry is too important for a country. Now ThyssenKrupp steel-related factories and branches are located all over the world. To realize Wu Qian's vision, a little integration is needed.

Yao Xinlu pushed her glasses and said, "Except for a few laboratories, other aspects of operation are not too difficult, but labor costs will inevitably increase. If it drives Solan's employment, it can be balanced..."

"You can consider relocating several factories in the Middle East and Egypt first..."

The two studied ThyssenKrupp for a long time, and the time passed unknowingly.

In the evening, the Essen police in Germany received a call to the police. A woman claimed that her husband was missing.

One day after Dortmund was taken away by the mysterious man, his wife felt that something was wrong. At first she just thought that Dortmund was hungover and went to work secretly in fear of arguing with herself.

As a result, she contacted her husband's company, friends and relatives, but no one had seen her husband. Now Mrs. Dortmund panicked and chose to call the police.

The disappearance of a steel smelting expert from the ThyssenKrupp Group has not attracted widespread attention and attention, even the laboratory has not noticed.

The laboratory adopts a flexible working system, that is to say, as long as the prescribed working hours are completed every week, it is enough, not to mention top scientific researchers, the requirements for working hours are even more relaxed, not limited to a specific time period .

Even Dortmund's colleagues didn't see him for a day, and they didn't pay much attention. Everyone thought that Dortmund just wanted to give themselves a small vacation and rest.

The police immediately launched an investigation after receiving the report, and found the bar where Dortmund was drinking very smoothly. At the same time, they interviewed the person who chatted with Dortmund at the bar that night. As a result, the clues were completely interrupted after Dortmund left the bar.

After investigating many street cameras, I just couldn't figure out why such a big living person disappeared.

The investigation was deadlocked and confusing.

Wu Qian didn't know about the busyness of the Essen police, neither did Stefan. The expert colleagues in Dortmund knew about the situation, but he couldn't help. Finished and handed over to Stefan.

Two days have passed, the weather has not been very good, it is either rainy or cloudy, the dark clouds cover the head a little oppressive, and the slightly cold wind is blowing, making people feel depressed.

The weather temporarily dispelled Wu Qian's idea of ​​buying real estate in Germany, so he stayed in the villa and had a good rest for a day.

This morning, at Frankfurt International Airport, an escort vehicle was parked next to the smiling face A380, just like a goral lying next to an elephant.

The escort car was nothing but the ultra-high-strength steel that Wu Qian wanted.

According to Clough's requirements, the pieces of steel were cut into very regular pieces and stored in several lockboxes. Those who didn't know it thought they were some high-tech instruments or jewelry.

To be honest, the value of the steel in the lockbox is really no less than ordinary jewelry. There are no more than ten steel factories in the world that can smelt this level of steel, and it is generally difficult to buy even if you have money.

Wu Qian opened a lockbox, the introverted metallic luster made his eyes shine, and the unique smell of metal came to his nostrils.

His eyes and nose are not testing instruments, so he can't understand the tensile strength and other coefficients at a glance, but his intuition tells him that this steel is by no means ordinary.

The test can be done in Solan's laboratory. He believes that it is impossible for Stefan to lie to him, and it is completely unnecessary and meaningful.

"It's a little more than you expected, a total of 270 kilograms, I hope it's enough."

Stefan stood aside and said.

When he asked his men to go to ThyssenKrupp to fetch steel, he had a very strange feeling in his heart. After all, this company was about to become Wu Qian's property, but he also made the other party owe a favor for it.

Wu Qian did not touch the oil film on the surface of the steel, so he glanced at the steel in the password box again, then closed the lid, and said, "Thank you, Stefan, if there are no accidents, the steel should be enough for experiments. .”

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian raised his wrist to look at the time, then waved his hand, signaling to put the lockbox on the plane.

"Wu, I sincerely hope that your experiment will be successful in one fell swoop. I really want to know what kind of experiment you are doing. I guess the experimental project must be very remarkable."

Stefan said expectantly, Rolls-Royce doesn't need to produce aero-engines with this specification of steel, which means that the scientific and technological content of the other party's experiment may be no less than that of aero-engines. Of course he wants to know, there are huge business opportunities!

Wu Qian nodded and said, "If it succeeds, I will notify you as soon as possible, then... I will leave first, see you next time."

"See you next time."

After the two parties said goodbye, Wu Qian stepped onto the airstairs.

On the boarding ladder, Cooks approached Wu Qian and whispered, "Boss, someone is staring at you, don't look at it deliberately, it's over there."

While speaking, Cooks vaguely raised his finger and pointed in one direction.

The direction that Cooks pointed was a hidden corner not far from the terminal building, with the sun behind his back. Of course, there was no sunshine today, and it looked more and more gloomy. A man in a long windbreaker showed half of his face, with With a pair of light-colored sunglasses, even if someone walks past him, it is difficult to tell what he is observing.

After Wu Qian heard what Kuks said, he didn't even move his head, pretended he didn't know anything, and continued to walk towards the hatch, and at the end turned around and waved to Stefan. Guang glanced at the direction indicated by Cux.

Vaguely, Wu Qian did indeed see a small half-figure there, whose body and the darkness almost merged into one. Without Cooks' reminder, he would not have noticed it at all.

With a quick glance, Wu Qian turned around and walked into the cabin.

"Is it from Stefan?"

After entering the plane, Wu Qian asked.

Kux used the cabin door as a cover to look into the distance, shook his head, and said, "It doesn't make sense, I don't think it's someone who is not Mr. Stefan, and I don't even know whether that person is spying on you or Mr. Stefan .”

Most of the bodyguards around Wu Qian were there, except for Rosalind and a female member of the spade unit to protect Yao Xinlu. Many people were aware of the situation and became vigilant.

It was almost time for the flight, and the cabin door was closed. Cooks took a last look and said, "Mr. Stefan's people also found the person in the dark, BOSS, and still can't judge the specific situation of that person."

Kux's analysis made sense. The people around Stefan discovered the situation, but that didn't explain anything. Maybe Stefan was being watched, or maybe he was suspicious. It's hard to say.

The weather is bad and rainy, people's mood is depressed, and when this matter is involved, the interest is even lower.

The plane moved slowly. Wu Qian walked to the porthole of the living room and looked out. The person in the darkness was still standing there without moving. The plane was moving, but the person did not move. At the same time, Stefan and his party People are also preparing to leave the airport.

From Wu Qian's perspective, the man seemed to be staring at Stefan.

"What's the point of staring at me? I've only been in Germany for a few days... Depending on the situation, it's likely that Stefan is staring at Stefan. The younger brother of Germany's richest woman is also a billionaire. It's normal..."

Wu Qian sat in the living room and muttered to himself, and the bodyguards in the scattered branches nodded when they heard the analysis of the BOSS. They felt that it made sense. The BOSS had only been in Germany for a few days. As for being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Who is Wu Qian, a "patient" with delusional disorder...

His analysis just now was just some psychological comfort to himself, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person was targeting himself.

"David, after the plane takes off and the communication is restored, you immediately call Rosalind and ask her to step up her guard. If not, find some more people from Germany. In addition, Kux, you go to the cockpit and ask Bauer to drive." Be careful when flying, turn on all defense equipment, and pay attention to the situation at any time!"

The two of them didn't say anything more, and earnestly carried out the boss's orders. It didn't matter what they thought in their hearts, as long as the protection was in place first.

The plane turns around, taxis, takes off, climbs.

The closer he was to the clouds, the more uneasy Wu Qian felt. After the communication was restored, he used the communication equipment on the plane to call Kuretta.

Without any wordy greetings, Wu Qian asked straight to the point: "Kureta, how is Solan doing now?"

"Everything is as usual, all work is going on normally, Wu, from your tone, you seem a little nervous, what happened?"

Kuretta was sorting out some fax documents sent from Maoziguo, all of which were very important drawings. He put down a stack of documents and started talking on the phone seriously.

Wu Qian took a deep breath and said, "I just took off from Frankfurt. When I got on the plane, Kux found someone spying on me. I don't know if it was me or the director of the Baoma Group. Anyway, it's very annoying."

"I'm worried that something might go wrong. You sent some people to pick me up at Addis Ababa Airport. Is there any difficulty?"

Kuretta's heart tightened. He and Wu Qian were firmly tied together, which can be described as a community of destiny. If something happened to Wu Qian, he would also feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll send someone over right away, Wu, don't worry."

Not much to say, after hanging up the phone, Kuretta locked all the drawing files in the safe, then walked out of the room, and began to deploy manpower.

It takes six hours to fly from Frankfurt to Addis Ababa, and he has plenty of time to prepare.

On the plane, Wu Qian didn't go to his favorite viewing room, but sat in the living room with a lot of thoughts, swinging his legs up and down.

After sitting in a daze for more than an hour, Wu Qian took a deep breath and said to Cooks, "Help me connect to Labo Erkan's call."

Assistant bodyguard Rosalind and assistant Yao Xinlu are not around, but it does not mean that there is no one around to do things. The four bodyguards who followed Wu Qian at the beginning were competent in many tasks.

"I went home yesterday, is everything okay at home?"

Seeing that Cook was dialing, Wu Qian asked with a smile.

We are all in Germany, how can we not let Kukes go home, that is too impersonal, his daughter is only a few years old.

Cooks stopped his fingers, he smiled, his face was full of tenderness, and said: "Thank you BOSS for your concern, my wife and daughter are fine, my daughter has grown up a lot, I almost didn't recognize her, luckily She still knows me."

After speaking, Cooks continued to dial.

Wu Qian didn't say much. Only when his subordinates have no worries in their hearts can they serve him better. He took the microphone from Cooks.

Not long after the phone was connected.

"Wu, don't talk, let me guess. You must be in Germany. Not only are you in Germany, you also bought the ThyssenKrupp Group, right? Haha, I guessed it all!"

Rapo Elkann never seemed to be bothered, and was ecstatically happy every day.

Wu Qian frowned and asked, "Did you send someone to follow me?"
