Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Rome, the capital and largest city of the Italian Republic, is also the national political, economic, cultural and transportation center with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is a world-famous historical and cultural city and the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire. It is nicknamed the "Eternal City" because of its long history.

In the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, Rome was the largest empire in the West during its heyday, echoing the Eastern Han Empire in the East. The city is located in the central and western part of the Italian peninsula, on seven hills in the plains of the lower reaches of the Tiber River. The city center covers an area of ​​more than 1,200 square kilometers. It is the city with the largest area and the largest population in Italy; it is also one of the world's famous tourist destinations.

Rome is the center of the Catholic Church in the world, with more than 700 churches and monasteries, and 7 Catholic universities; the Vatican in the city is the seat of the Catholic Pope and the Holy See. Rome and Florence are both the centers of the Italian Renaissance, and they still retain quite a lot of Renaissance and Baroque styles. In 1980, Rome's historic city was listed as a World Cultural Heritage.

It can be said that this is an extremely majestic ancient city, and all roads lead to Rome; which is enough to illustrate its important position and degree of development in Europe.

He had also been to Rome in his previous life and found that the entire layout and appearance had remained basically unchanged. Of course, it cannot be said here that Rome did not develop. It is more recognized that the Romans protected the ruins of the ancient city very well.

Located on the north side of the Roman Column Square, it is an ancient building with a history of hundreds of years and was built from 1562 to 1580. The building originally belonged to the Aldobrandtini family and was bought by the Chigi family in 1659, from which the name of Palazzo Chigi comes. In 1878 it became the embassy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1916, the Italian government bought it and it became the official residence of the Minister of Colonial Affairs and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1961, it became the venue for the Council of Ministers. The official official position of the Italian Prime Minister was "President of the Council of Ministers", so Palazzo Chigi became the official residence of the Italian Prime Minister. .

When Bao Zixuan came to this palace, he felt very different. Although there were several castles in the UK, they were still very different from Italian palaces. It seems that if you have the opportunity, you really need to buy a few palaces in Rome; otherwise, it would be a waste to spend so much money without using it.

In fact, we know that buying a house in Europe is a big pitfall. After all, you have to pay a lot of property taxes every year. You may not be able to use it now, but when the number of family members increases, you will be able to use it sooner or later. Ever since he had relationships with several women, Mr. Bao had become very open-minded about this aspect.

Especially after I just met Enzo Ferrari, my inner thoughts became even more determined. Having a large family still has the advantage of having many people, at least it won't make it easier for outsiders. For such a huge industry, as long as it is properly arranged in the future, there will be no disputes over property. And every child has a considerable inheritance, so there is nothing to fight for.

Italy is also a magical country. It has only been 120 years since the Kingdom Period in 1861. There are as many as 68 people who have served as prime ministers or prime ministers of the country. You must know that Mussolini has been in power for more than 20 years. It can be said that the average term of the Italian Prime Minister is only one and a half years, which is probably rare in the world.

Perhaps only small countries in South America or Africa, where military coups often occur, can see this happening. As Germany, which also experienced World War II, only more than 20 people served as prime ministers during this period. The constant change of prime ministers means that the political situation is unstable. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Italian companies to grow big, and they are basically small and medium-sized enterprises!

After all, big companies need government support, but big shots are busy vying for the position of prime minister, so how can they have time and energy to support the expansion of domestic big companies.

Bettino Craxi; 51 years old; leader of the Italian Socialist Party and the International Socialist Party, the first Prime Minister of the Socialist Government of the Italian Republic, a political activist, and one of the representatives of Western "democratic socialism".

Bao Zixuan basically knew how he would end up with this prime minister, but he didn't dare to have too many interactions with him. Come to Rome just out of courtesy and respect. After all, Ferrari has been successfully acquired, but some things still require the cooperation and help of Italian officials, and some superficial work still needs to be done.

A fifty-year-old leader is relatively young, at least at the national level.

Bettino Craxi said with a smile: "Welcome to Rome, Mr. Bao. I don't know what my impression of Italy is."

Can you say bad at this time? Not only will it offend the person, it will also make it difficult for the other person to step down. Dealing with politicians is much more tiring than dealing with business partners.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Italy is very good, especially the city of Rome, which is more majestic than I imagined. And I have ordered my men to see where there are suitable properties or palaces; I will buy a few houses in Rome and visit them frequently in the future." come over."

Bedino Clarksi was very happy to hear that he would come often. As the richest man in the world and the head of the largest industrial group, being able to live in Rome will be a good publicity point.

Bettino Craxi: "It is really an honor for Rome and even the whole country to be favored by Mr. Bao."

"I heard that Mr. Bao has reached an agreement with the Ranieri family and successfully acquired Ferrari Automobile Company. We are very welcome to come to Italy to invest; if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me at any time."

The old boy was still very polite, but for Bao Zixuan, even as Prime Minister, he probably wouldn't be able to use force to force him.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your support. I believe that with you here, Heiyun Group's investment in Italy will definitely bring huge returns!"

Since someone is being polite to you, you should always be polite to the other person. But at this time, he couldn't express his position first. The Prime Minister invited him, so he had to listen to what the other party had to say first.

Bettino Clarksi: "I invite you here this time mainly because I want to ask you something."

It's also helpless that a person who may be older than your father said he wants to ask you a question. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but people have already said it for this reason; not giving an attitude would be very rude.

Bao Zixuan: "Don't say that, we can discuss anything."

In fact, the richest man Bao was helpless, and Bedino Clarksi was even more helpless. As the prime minister of a country, you must not only consider national stability but also political stability. More importantly, economic development is, after all, part of his job.

But I graduated from law school, and I have been working in the government department since graduation. I have basically never been engaged in business operations, but I am far behind in terms of economic control and sensitivity. I don’t have that much trust in local Italian businessmen. At least they will worry too much, and most of them will protect the interests of their own companies.

Although Bao Zixuan did not major in economics, the fact that he was able to make the company so big speaks for itself. I finally came here, so of course I couldn’t miss this opportunity, but I had to ask for advice.

Bettino Craxi: "I invite you here mainly because I want to hear your views on the Italian economy. Don't have any scruples and speak freely. I won't make fun of you. I have a legal background. I am very knowledgeable about the Italian economy. I really don’t know that much about how to develop the economy.”

Why are heads of state and dignitaries from all over the world asking him for advice on economic issues? He does not study economics-related majors, but when people ask them, he can't refuse them directly.

And I did some homework before coming here. At least it wasn't caught off guard. In recent years, as the Heiyun Group has grown in strength, the intelligence department has also grown; even many retired KGB personnel have joined. Of course, they are all recommended by people, and their families will come to live in Xiangjiang or Fucaira.

Therefore, I don’t know everything about the situation in Italy; but based on my past life experience, I know that it’s pretty much the same.

Although Italy's economic growth is not slow, it lags behind other countries in Europe. You must know that they were not brought to the Hiroshima Conference, which indirectly shows that the Italian economy is not recognized by the mainstream of the world; it also shows that the international status is not high. At least compared to the other three big countries in Europe, it is much worse.

The limited economic scale may be one of the reasons for not bringing them along. In addition, the lira is not well recognized internationally. Maybe these are issues that Americans consider.

But on the other hand, not participating in the Hiroshima Conference was actually a good thing. At least the Italian currency was not greatly affected, but the Japanese were badly screwed. Italy is not as economically strong as Japan. If the Americans were to do this, let alone 30 years, it would be a miracle if they could recover in 50 years.
