Resource Tycoon Reborn

Gross motioned for Bertram to sit down and continued: "Dubai's debt crisis is now improving. The number of European tourists traveling to Dubai has picked up again. Dubai World Center International Airport will replace the current Dubai in the future.

The airport has become an important aviation hub in the Middle East. It is updated the fastest. Moreover, East Asia, especially China, has now become an important source of tourists coming to Europe. Italy is small in area, and the aviation market within the European Union

Nowadays, it has become saturated, and there are Lufthansa Group, Air France-KLM Group, British Airways, and Alitalia’s routes to the Americas, let alone African routes. Therefore, Air France

-KLM Group believes that Asia is the place where the company must strive for long-term development in the future..."

"Chairman!" Bertram interrupted Gross's eloquent words and said with some confusion, "Altalia will expand the number of flights to Dubai and East Asia in the future. I can understand it. But I have just voted.

I agree with our cooperation with Air France-KLM Group. Moreover, I have nothing in Dubai and East Asia that can help Alitalia.”

"No, you have underestimated yourself." Gross said seriously, "Fang, the president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, have you met him?"

"Yes, he and I have met in China before." Bertram nodded. He did not hide this matter from the outside world, so Gross knew it, and there was nothing surprising.

"Then do you know that the Burj Khalifa World Corporation, which controls the Dubai World Center International Airport, is now operated by the Hong Kong Pavicon Company controlled by him? In the future, whether it is Alitalia or Lufthansa Group,

If Air France-KLM and British Airways want to get better terminals and more flights at Dubai World Central International Airport, he has a huge say!" Gross said.

Bertram's brows frowned, and he remembered that among the companies owned by the Fang family, there was indeed one company called Hong Kong Pak Fu Sheng Company, which should be an investment company.

"Also, Fang also controls the largest airport group company in China. There are basically airports in important cities in China. He even has an airport in Japan and South Korea, although the airport in South Korea is still under construction.

"If Alitalia can cooperate with him, it will be much easier to expand the number of flights to Dubai and East Asia." Gross continued.

Bertram opened his eyes wide. Even if he didn't know much about the air transport industry, he understood the meaning behind Gross's words. China is a country that is larger than the EU countries, and there are many important cities.

With so many airports, it naturally has the power to increase and decrease flights. No wonder Air France-KLM Group wants to establish a relationship with it.

"If Director Rusco can persuade Fang to give Alitalia some facilities at the airport, I think it will be very useful when we deal with Air France-KLM Group," Gross said.

Bertram returned to his office with a wry smile, thinking to himself: What the hell is this! Gross handed over the matter of contacting Fang Mingyuan to Bertram almost without refusal. The reason was very simple.

Among the directors, he was the only one who had ever dealt with Fang Mingyuan. To be honest, this was something Bertram himself brought upon himself. After meeting Fang Mingyuan in Pingchuan, he had said this on many occasions.

As a director, it is natural for him to solve problems for the company. Although Fang Mingyuan's position is biased towards the Welf family, it is not a big deal. In the market, it is too common for one day to be an opponent and the next to be an ally. The problem is that he has met Fang Mingyuan.

, but the relationship with Fang Mingyuan is not very harmonious at all. Even if he opens his mouth, Fan Mingyuan can open an opening for Alitalia? Although Gross also promised that Intesa Sanpaolo will provide all aspects of convenience to the Fang family in the future.

Such a promise can be said to be a dream for ordinary Chinese companies, but Bertram remembered that Fang Mingyuan should have another identity, that is, a director of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. Intesa Sanpaolo is in the Italian banking industry

, its status is one of the best, but if you look at the whole of Europe and even the world, HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd. is still above it. It is hard to say how much Fang Mingyuan values ​​the favor of Intesa Sanpaolo.

However, now that Gross has spoken, he has to give it a try. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to his desire to gain more say in Intesa Sanpaolo. A director who is unwilling to contribute to the development of the bank.

Why should others let you get a high position? It’s not like the Rusko family has never thought of acquiring more shares in Intesa Sanpaolo, but failed. Bertram wanted to have a greater say in Intesa Sanpaolo.

, then excellent results are his first choice.

Bertram was sitting at his desk, thinking about how to persuade Fang Mingyuan. Judging from the last interaction with him, Fang Mingyuan was not only wealthy but also had a huge appetite. He would not pay attention to ordinary small favors at all.

In his eyes, last time he came to him about the cooperation with Pirelli Tire Company, but Fang Mingyuan didn't take this cooperation seriously at all. On the premise that he could not guarantee the controlling stake in the joint venture company, he actually ignored it again.

Once, Alitalia begged him for Intesa Sanpaolo, and Bertram did not think that this person would easily agree to cooperate with Intesa Sanpaolo without any substantive commitment.

Just as he was thinking over and over again what kind of conditions would be able to impress Fang Mingyuan, his mobile phone rang. It was a call from the head of the Rusko family. Bertram quickly asked his female secretary to go out and avoid it.

, and then he picked up.

The female secretary stayed in the small suite outside the director's office for about half an hour before Bertram called her into the office. She noticed that Bertram's face and mood had become much happier.

, obviously the phone call just now told him some good news.

"Please make arrangements. I will go to Dortmund the day after tomorrow to attend an extremely important party in the evening." Bertram ordered.

Watching old Welf fall asleep, Fang Mingyuan walked out quietly, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Old Welf's energy was obviously not as good as before. As the two of them were talking, he

It is obvious that the energy is low.

"Grandpa, is he asleep?" Angelina was reading documents outside. When she heard Fang Mingyuan's footsteps, she raised her head and asked.

"Well, he fell asleep. I covered him with a quilt." Fang Mingyuan sat down next to her and motioned to the caregiver sitting on the other side of the room to come in.

"I have to ask you to stay in Europe for a few more days." Angelina apologized. Old Welf planned to arrange all the family affairs before he passed away. As one of the most important members of the family, Fang Mingyuan,

There are many things involving him, so naturally he has to stay.

"It's nothing, there's nothing that requires me to personally come forward recently." Fang Mingyuan hugged her gently and said, "It's right to spend more time with the old man." Old Welf also kept the care of Fang Mingyuan in his heart over the years.

, not to mention that we all have the relationship of in-laws. Regarding his impending death, Fang Mingyuan felt very uncomfortable.

Angelina looked around, lowered her voice and said to Fang Mingyuan: "The second grandpa and the third grandpa have talked with me. The next patriarch will be my father."

Fang Mingyuan blinked. This news did not surprise him. After all, in the past few years, he could also see that the burden on the shoulders of his cheap father-in-law was getting heavier and heavier. But... with old Welf

In comparison, Philip is much inferior in terms of prestige and ability. I am afraid that the Welf family will be in decline for a long time in the future. But Fang Mingyuan does not take this very seriously. Welf

The family's heritage is so profound that he has not yet seen through it. Even if this generation of patriarchs is mediocre, it will still be enough to leave enough resources for the next patriarch to make a comeback for the Welf family.

"Also, grandfather and the others plan to make you the guardian of the family!" Angelina said.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan was a little confused. What does this family guardian do? It sounds like he is very tall.

Angelina gave him a concise explanation, and Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be moved by it. Family guardian, as the name suggests, he could guess a little bit, but after listening to Angelina's rough explanation, he was still shocked.

To put it bluntly, with the family guardian, Philip, the patriarch, should be quite boring. It is almost equivalent to the existence of an overlord, but this overlord still has the ability and power to intervene in the affairs of the Welf family! And if the guardian is

If the guardian's opinion is contrary to the patriarch's opinion, unless the guardian's opinion is really wrong and can be called a mess, otherwise, the patriarch must still listen to the guardian! And what is even more shocking to Fang Mingyuan is that during the guardian's tenure, if the guardian has enough

reasons, the guardian has the right to depose the current patriarch, and the guardian also has a strong say in the selection of the new patriarch! And during this period, the guardian can also mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Welf family! The Welf family also needs to give

The guardian is generously rewarded.

"That sounds weird, right?" Angelina chuckled.

Fang Mingyuan pinched his chin and said in disbelief: "Isn't the guardian's power too great? Aren't you worried that the guardian will guard and steal in the future?"

"I'm worried!" Angelina said, "So in the thousands of years of history of our Welf family, there are only five fingers of precedent for using this system. It's because there was no suitable and reassuring candidate at the time.

The previous guardians were all sages with high moral character. When a powerful patriarch appeared in our family, they took the initiative to hand over power to our family. To be honest, I am surprised that my grandfather trusts you so much.

"Fang Mingyuan immediately felt a weight on his shoulders. Old Welf and the others had posed a big problem for themselves this time.

"Don't refuse." Angelina held his arm and said softly, "Grandfather and the others made such a decision after much thought. And the decision to let my father take over as the patriarch was also

Considering that the two of you can cooperate better in the future. My grandfather's time is running out, and I don't want him to pass away with worries about the family."

Fang Mingyuan let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big thing?"

"Grandpa, they don't want to talk about it. I think that if you serve as the guardian of the family, it will be a good thing for you and the family." Angelina said cautiously, "Grandpa, they don't think that the children of my father's generation should not talk about the pioneering work."

Although the Welf family has been in decline for decades, they were mentally prepared to wait for the best of our generation to revive the family, but your appearance made my grandfather change his mind.

He came up with the idea. He believes that with your support of the family, at least the family can maintain its current status until the next generation of patriarchs appears. In this case, the pressure on the next generation of patriarchs will be much less."

Angelina glanced at Fang Mingyuan's face and continued: "If you serve as the guardian of the Welf family, it is equivalent to serving as the patriarch of the family. This will be very convenient for you to enter the top society in Europe. Although

It is said that with your current status, it is no problem to enter the top society in Europe, but in that case, you will be regarded as an outsider after all. Moreover, as the guardian of the family, you can mobilize the family's manpower and material resources, which is also beneficial to the development of the Fang family.

"

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "These are not the important points. I am not mentally prepared to take on this responsibility." The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Being the guardian of the Welf family can certainly make oneself better in the world.

He has reached the top of Europe's top society and has a certain influence on Germany and even EU affairs, but he is also responsible for the future of the Welf family. This is not a small family, it is the oldest wealthy family in Europe.

One! It seems so unrealistic that such a family with such a profound foundation actually wants to be its guardian.

Of course, the greater the responsibility, the greater the benefits. What Angelina can think of, Fang Mingyuan can naturally think of. Being able to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Welf family will be a great impetus for the development of the Fang family's enterprises.

It was absolutely amazing to him. (To be continued.)
