Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The Italian Republic, referred to as Italy, is a European country, mainly composed of the Apennine Peninsula in southern Europe and two islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. The land area is 301,333 square kilometers and the population is 60 million. The Alpine region to the north borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, and its territory also surrounds two micro-states - San Marino and the Vatican City.

There are signs of human activity in the Italian peninsula in prehistory, dating back to the Early Paleolithic Age. In the 9th century BC, the Etruscans created a splendid civilization. Rome was founded in 754 BC. Ancient Rome went through three stages: monarchy, republic, and empire, and existed for a thousand years. In the 15th century, Italy became the birthplace of the European Renaissance.

At the end of the 15th century, the struggle between France and Spain for the Apennine Peninsula intensified, leading to the Italian War that lasted for decades. Nationalism began to awaken in the 18th century. With the rise of the Italian unification movement in the 19th century, the Kingdom of Sardinia began to gradually unify the north and south. In 1861, the Kingdom of Italy was established. In 1870, Rome, the capital of the Papal States, was conquered to complete the unification of Italy. After the defeat in World War II, the monarchy was abolished and a republic was established.

At the same time, Italy is also a developed capitalist country and one of the four major economies in Europe; it is also a founding member of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and a member of important international organizations such as the Schengen Agreement, the G8 and the United Nations.

After the team building is completed, Heiyun employees participating in the exhibition will have free activities in France for two days and then return to their respective jobs. As for Mr. Bao, his fortune was not so good. He had not planned to visit so many places before. But because of the Ranieri family relationship, he came directly from France to Italy.

But I didn’t go to Rome and Milan, after all, it was not for tourism. In addition, the two parties had a lot of cooperation to finalize, so they came directly to Turin.

Turin is the third largest city in Italy and the capital of the Piedmont region. Europe's largest automobile production center is also an ancient city with a long history. It preserves a large number of classical and Baroque buildings and is also the main city of Turin Football Club and Juventus Football Club.

The Ranieri family showed enough respect for Bao Zixuan's arrival. After all, he is now the richest man in the world. Although he has not yet received official certification, people all over the world still recognize this statement.

And they came here to negotiate billions of dollars in business, which is also great news for the Fiat Group. Although it is the number one company in Italy, it often needs to make some noise. Although it is one of the four largest economies in Europe, Italy's economy relies too much on petrochemicals, automobile manufacturing, household appliances, electronic instruments, metallurgy, machinery, equipment, textiles, clothing, tanning, furniture, food, beverages, tobacco, Papermaking, publishing, printing, construction, etc.

It seems that there are many kinds, but the high-end automobile industry is not very prosperous in the whole world; of course, the domestic factories in Italy are not that good.

The development of automobiles has gone through four stages so far, namely, initial emergence, application stage, individual demand stage, and fuel-saving stage; of course, there will be an intelligence stage in the future.

At present, automobile development is in the fuel-saving period and has passed the individual demand period. It can be said that the cars produced in Italy, except for Fiat, are basically very individual and full of lines, but they do not seem to have much to do with the era of fuel economy.

A sports car often has more than 300 horsepower. If you want to save fuel, it is impossible to do so. The decline in car sales is not just a matter of one industry; it will inevitably affect the entire economic chain, so other Italian industries are not doing well either.

What remains is the luxury goods industry, which now appears to be experiencing rapid economic development. However, the 1980s happened to be a transitional period. Except for the rapid economic development of a few countries, the economic development speed of Europe was relatively average.

At present, the Asian market has not been fully explored, and business is certainly not that good.

In addition, Italy has developed small and medium-sized enterprises and is known as the "Kingdom of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises". The number of small and medium-sized enterprises accounts for more than 98% of the total number of enterprises. Regional economic development is uneven. The north is industrially and commercially developed, while the south is dominated by agriculture and has a relatively backward economy. At present, international logistics and information are not very developed, which makes Italian companies less competitive in the international market, at least compared to similar brands in France and Germany.

In fact, everyone knows that the Italian economy has big problems; from 1950 to 1984, state-funded funds were established to stimulate economic and industrial development, but with little effect. It supported early land reforms; including land reclamation, irrigation projects, infrastructure construction for rural areas and the provision of electricity and water; but did little to stimulate the economy.

Later, the fund financed the development of heavy industry in selected areas, hoping that major industrial issues would attract satellite industries and provide the basis for continued economic activity. However, these projects have been called "cathedrals in the desert." Not only have they failed to attract other smaller industries, they also suffer from high levels of worker absenteeism.

Italians are accustomed to being free and loose, and it is difficult to change easily. Even Bao Zixuan didn't dare to invest easily. However, for some luxury brands, if the price is low, you can buy them. But it shouldn’t be too obvious at one time. Although it doesn’t cost much money, business management is a big problem.

As the president of Heiyun Motors, John Chambers didn't even know that his boss wanted to exchange Ferrari. This was a big problem, but fortunately Bao Zixuan told him that it hadn't been completely determined yet. But who is John Chambers? Of course he can hear the truth. I just didn't want to cause any conflict, so I didn't say anything.

Since it has been handed over to others to manage, we must fully trust it. Always doing things beyond your authority is not a wise move, and it is not conducive to business management.

If Heiyun Group invests in Italy, or acquires Italian companies. Then it will definitely give the local economy a shot in the arm, and at least the people will see hope. Fiat Group is Italy's largest company, and the Ranieri family is synonymous with wealth and honor. Any move they make will affect the nerves of the entire Italy and surrounding countries.

Gianni Ranieri did not expect that Bao Zixuan would come directly to Turin on the third day of the exhibition. I felt that the other party would definitely come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. There must be a lot of things to summarize on the second day of the exhibition; United Aircraft Manufacturing Company has four shareholders, and it is normal to have meetings and discussions.

In other words, after arranging the Paris Air Show, the first stop was Italy; letting the world see how vigorously Bao Zixuan works.

Gianni Ranieri said with a smile: "Welcome to Mr. Bao. Your work style and efficiency are shocking. At the same time, we also understand why Heiyun Group is developing so fast."

The reason I didn’t stop in France was because I didn’t feel it was necessary. And this time, there are many countries to go to, so it is impossible to stay in Europe for too long. Italy was a temporary decision, and only three or four days were arranged, otherwise we would return to Xiangjiang; who knows when.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "This is what I promised you. I said I would come to Italy as the first stop after the exhibition. I must not break my promise. To be honest, I have been to France many times, but this is the first time I have come to Italy. Plus Mr. Ranieri warmly invited me, and of course I want to experience the scenery of the Apennines."

"And I heard there is a football match tonight, so of course I want to feel the atmosphere."

As Italy's top giants and owners of Juventus Football Club, the Ranieri family is still very confident, at least in the field of football.

This is a good opportunity for them to show their strength in front of their partners and customers. Today's game has no bottom. After all, the opponent is Naples Football Club.

If it was two years ago, Juventus would never have taken a role like Napoli's seriously. But now that the other side has Maradona, things become different.

Even if you don’t know the bottom, you still have to go to the stadium and watch the game. Isn't it possible that the richest man Bao is still not satisfied with this requirement?

Gianni Ranieri said with a smile: "Mr. Bao came to Germany at the right time. There is a game today. And it is Juventus against Naples led by Maradona. I believe it will be very exciting."

Maradona versus Platini, I didn't expect to see it live. This is something that I couldn't even imagine before. It seems that there are really many benefits for time travellers.

As the two greatest players in football history, it can be said that they represent the totems of two countries. Of course, because France later owned Zidane, Platini's prestige and reputation were somewhat lower; but his highlight performance at last year's European Championship made him now a more famous presence than Maradona.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "That's great. To be honest, I haven't watched a game in several years. Today is just the right time to experience the live atmosphere of the Italian Football League."
