Although there are no exaggerated mixed-race members from ten countries among the members of the Welf family, there are already many mixed-race members from three or five countries. What does it mean to have one more Chinese mixed-race member?

"Not interested!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation, "I'm not a stallion!" Old Welf sighed softly. Although this result was not unexpected at all, he heard Fang Mingyuan say so completely.

Rejecting without hesitation still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Old Welf, let me give you a suggestion. It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Fang Mingyuan said, "I dare not say more. According to my judgment, in the next two years, the price of crude oil in the international market will continue to rise.

Climbing up, reaching a record high. As for how your family profits from it, I think there is no need for me to say more." Old Welf was taken aback, sat upright from the recliner, turned to look at Fang Mingyuan, as if to see

Come on, is he just talking nonsense?

"Believe it or not, but if you miss it, just don't blame me." Fang Mingyuan shrugged indifferently. In his opinion, it is not surprising that old Welf had such a reaction. The Welf family is in

It has been operating in various European countries for many years, and its tentacles can be said to have spread to all walks of life. The rise and fall of the European economy is naturally related to the interests of the Welf family.

For Europe, which lacks oil, the economy is highly dependent on oil, which makes the economy very sensitive to the impact of oil price fluctuations. According to years of research by the International Energy Agency, the International Monetary Fund and other organizations, every barrel of crude oil in the international market

For an increase of ten dollars, the GDP growth rate of the Eurozone will drop by 0.5%, which is higher than 0.02% and 0.01% of the United States and Japan. Last year, the economic development of the Eurozone countries was

It can only be said to be unsatisfactory. The European Commission pointed out at the beginning of the year that the gap between the European economy and the American economy is widening. In recent years, the average economic growth rate of the European Union is 0.5%, while the average economic growth rate of the United States is 0.5%.

But it can reach 2%! However, Europe's per capita GDP is only equivalent to about 70% of that of the United States.

Old Welf's eyebrows twisted into a ball. It wasn't that he didn't believe what Fang Mingyuan said, but he was really surprised when he heard it. You know, the price of crude oil in the international market today has hit a record high.

According to Fang Mingyuan, the price of crude oil will rise for another two years and hit a new historical high. Crude oil is known as the "blood of industry". The rise in oil prices will definitely have a negative impact on the world economy and cause economic growth to slow down.

The result of the increase in national crude oil import expenditure and the decline in corporate profits. Of course, if the fluctuation trend of oil prices can be known in advance, it will not be difficult for the Welf family to profit from it.

"Fang, do you mean that the price of crude oil in the international market will continue to rise?" Old Welf asked, "Why?"

“Because the dollar has depreciated, because other commodities such as iron ore, soybeans, and coking coal have risen, because the world is not peaceful, because crude oil is non-renewable and irreplaceable to a certain extent, because there may be terrorist attacks.

"Because of OPEC's policy, how many more reasons do you need me to give you?" Fang Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Believe me, just do it. If you don't believe me, just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't ask me for details.

I won’t explain the reasons.” The fact that the price of crude oil in the international market has soared to a staggering historical high of US$180 must be due to a combination of many factors.

"Of course I believe you!" Old Welf was stunned for a moment and said with a dumb smile. Of course he knew about the past when Fang Mingyuan made a fortune by betting four billion dollars on crude oil in Russia.

"Then let the Welf family acquire MTU Aero Engine Company first. As for cooperation, we will do it step by step." Fang Mingyuan extended his hand.

"Alas..." Old Welf let out a long sigh. He stretched out his hand and shook it with Fang Mingyuan, "But this feeling is really unpleasant."

"I believe that after a while, the opponents of the Welf family will feel unhappy." Fang Mingyuan said unceremoniously, "Just think about the bad faces they will have by then. Your temporary unhappiness will not be a problem.

?”

"You!" Old Welf said with a helpless smile. Fang Mingyuan's mouth is really too sharp.

At 9:34 a.m. on May 10, at Blagnac Airport on the outskirts of Toulouse in southwestern France, in front of many guests and tens of thousands of people from all over the world, the giant blue and white A380 passenger plane

The moment it jumped off the runway and straight into the blue sky, the entire airport was excited. People couldn't help but cheer, applaud and jump to celebrate the successful first flight of the largest wide-body passenger aircraft in human history!

In order to ensure the success of this first flight, it is said that even the French side was alerted and dispatched a fighter squadron and designated a no-fly zone to ensure that the A380 passenger plane's first flight would not be disturbed by the outside world.

Old Welf and Fang Mingyuan stood in the corner of the crowd, watching the A380 passenger plane in the sky. Old Welf put the hat in his hand back on and said: "Fang, sometimes I really doubt your psychology.

Are you over fifty years old? In such an exciting scene, you actually stay in the corner like an old man like me, and you don't look excited at all."

"Hehe..." Fang Mingyuan laughed dryly. His mental age was indeed over fifty.

"I never thought that humans would one day be able to send such a huge aircraft into the sky! You know, when I was young, flying by plane was a very honorable thing, but it was also a very painful thing. But.

In just a few decades, plane travel has become as comfortable as taking a train." Old Welf said with deep emotion.

"Then how about you buy one as a private jet? I think Airbus will be happy to take this order." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Do you think I am the same as those children of the Arab royal families in the Middle East?" Old Welf shook his head and said, "It's too high-profile! It will make people jealous." Although the Welf family is also a wealthy family in Europe, it has a history of thousands of years.

However, in fact, the Welf family has been hiding behind the scenes since before the outbreak of World War II. People whose social status does not reach the heights of the elite will only think that this family has declined in the long history.

"Yes, being too high-profile will make people jealous..." Fang Mingyuan said in a longer voice, "Then you still persuade me to sit with Merkel and the others?"

Old Welf blinked and said without changing his expression: "How can it be the same? I am an old man, but you are like the sun that has just risen at one o'clock in the morning."

"Are you talking about the Arctic sky in summer?" Fang Mingyuan replied rudely, and the sun had just risen at one o'clock in the morning.

"What's next? Are we just waiting here? That big guy has to fly for several hours." Welf said with emotion, "European aviation people have spent ten years of hard work and invested tens of billions of dollars, and finally it's possible.

Achieved results."

"It takes almost four hours to fly, during which heavy aircraft testing tasks need to be completed. To this end, the aircraft is equipped with various test equipment with a total weight of more than 20 tons. During the entire process, various data from the engine to the control system are transmitted in real time.

We will return to the Airbus Aviation Monitoring Center on the ground for analysis. In other words, we will not return to the airport until almost one o'clock in the afternoon. I don't want to wait here hungry." Fang Mingyuan was more familiar with the test flight process than Lao Wei.

Wolf knew better.

"Okay, let's go out and find a place to rest now and have lunch and come back at one o'clock." Old Welf said without hesitation.

Fang Mingyuan patted Guo Qing'er's shoulder, who was still looking up to the sky, and motioned for her to follow him. Although this was a corner, there were actually a lot of people there. For Toulouse, which has a total population of only more than 400,000 people, it was difficult to gather in Toulouse today.

There are too many people around the airport. The French police are not like the police in China, which have sufficient experience in dealing with tens of thousands of people gathering in one place. But even so, stampedes will occur in China from time to time.

The group of people left the airport. Fortunately, Toulouse is not big. Even if they returned to the city center, it would not take much time to go to the airport. And to be honest, Fang Mingyuan was not too cold about watching the A380 landing. In his previous life, the A380

There were tens of thousands of passenger planes taking off and landing, so he didn't think it was anything to be excited about. If possible, he would rather spend this time visiting Toulouse. Even walking around the university campus here is better than spending time at the airport.

Be comfortable in the sun.

"It's great, such a big plane can take off so lightly!" Although she left the airport, Guo Qing'er was still chattering excitedly like a bird. It's no wonder that she looks like this, the only person who has ever had close contact with an A380 passenger aircraft.

People will have a deeper understanding of its hugeness. The wingspan is 79.8 meters, the aircraft length is 73 meters, and the fuselage height is 24.1 meters, which is equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. In this way

It is indeed a miracle that such a big guy can fly into the sky smoothly.

"Fang, has your airline also purchased the A380?" Old Welf asked curiously, "So in the next few years, are you more optimistic about Airbus or Boeing?" Although Airbus

It is 100% owned by the European Aerospace Corporation, but Boeing is a listed company. If Fang Mingyuan said that he was optimistic about Boeing, old Welf would not mind investing a small amount of money in Boeing stock to earn some pocket money for himself.

money.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "What do you think?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
