Chapter 838
"Here it comes, over there, it should be a private plane."
Qian Yaqian's eyes lit up when she saw Wang Yi and the other two. She then began to wave her arms and said,
“Here, here~”
Gu Nan next to him also stood more seriously. To be honest, he was not as heartless as his wife and was still very nervous at the moment.
As for the fact that there was another beauty beside Wang Yi, they didn't take it seriously at all. How normal is that...
"Hey, isn't this our President Gu?"
Just at this moment, a voice in French with a hint of dissatisfaction came from the side.
When Gu Nan heard this, he realized that it was the shipping king Frank, who had originally agreed to be his partner this time.
After seeing that it was the other party, Gu Nan's face also showed a trace of helplessness, and he said apologetically
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Frank. The change of time is our problem. We understand whatever choice you make. I was planning to make an appointment with you to come and apologize at that time, but I didn't make it."
Frank is a bald man with a well-groomed mustache.
He glanced at Gu Nan with a forced smile, and when he saw that his attitude seemed satisfactory, he calmed down a little.
But when he saw Qian Yaqian beside Gu Nan, his eyes still lit up slightly.
"Is this your wife? She's so beautiful."
However, Qian Yaqian herself is not good at French and doesn’t know what they are talking about here. Because she came here to pick someone up, she didn’t wear headphones for simultaneous translation. When she saw that her husband met the Party A who came this time, she considerately let him talk here first.
After apologizing in unfamiliar French, he walked towards his sister.
This made Frank's expression become stiff again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frank, her French is not very good, she only knows a few simple spoken words. I thank you for your compliment on her behalf."
"You're picking someone up here? Is this what you call an important matter?"
Frank turned his head and looked in the direction of Qian Yaqian, and then saw Wang Yi and his group, with a little dissatisfaction on his face.
This is Gaul, our own territory. The other party came here to discuss business. Who would they pick up temporarily?
Changing the time just because of this? This made him feel unhappy again.
However, seeing that Wang Yi and the other three were handsome men and beautiful women, and there were two boys carrying bags behind them, I knew that they must be from some important background.
But Frank himself had five or six bodyguards around him, so he didn't think the other party was some big shot that he couldn't afford to offend.
Seeing Qian Yayan's face, which was somewhat similar to Qian Yaqian's but more beautiful, he spoke
"Is this your wife's sister?"
Just for this? Frank looked again.
"Could you please introduce me to you?"
Normally, it wouldn't matter at this time, but Gu Nan didn't dare to make decisions for Wang Yi. He didn't give a direct answer, but changed the subject and said
"What is the purpose of Mr. Frank's visit to the airport this time? It should be a last-minute arrangement as well."
Although the originally agreed time has not arrived yet, it is still too rushed to go back and forth to the airport normally, so I guess the other party decided to come later.
"Oh, you're asking me this question. Well, it's nothing I can't tell you. Alstom's Director Joel arrived today, and I came here specially to pick him up at the airport. In fact, if you hadn't made excuses, I would have done the same. I was shocked when I saw you at first, thinking you were here to pick him up, too."
When he said this, Frank's expression seemed a little proud.
Alstom is also a giant enterprise in Gaul. It is at the world-class level in many fields such as rail transit, power equipment and power transmission infrastructure. It can be said to be the leading enterprise in Gaul.
Although Director Joel is only a member of Alstom's board of directors and not even the chairman, he has the potential to become the core of the next generation.
The status can be said to be extremely important, and to some extent it can even influence elections.
With Frank's status, it's really a step up.
He said he came to pick me up at the airport, but in fact he was just trying to flatter himself. He just came here to create a chance encounter after he got to know the news.
The two had attended some banquets together and had chatted a few times , so this time, to some extent, he was asking something of the other party.
Under the many industrial changes brought about by Umbrella, many industries have suffered huge impacts and even have been unable to recover.
But traditional industries like energy and electricity have reaped more benefits.
Because of the new industrial innovation, these basic demands have become greater, but Umbrella has not involved in these fields anywhere else except its own Penglai, and their suspected higher level of nuclear power efficiency has not been fully rolled out.
So under this impact, Alstom, which had been in a downward trend, has been thriving in recent years!
Frank's own industry is also to a certain extent constrained by the basic industries upstream.
Although Alstom’s senior executives were arrested directly due to the long-arm jurisdiction and it was forced to sell 17 billion euros of high-quality power assets to its biggest competitor General Electric, it almost died on the spot.
But now, with the help of the changes that Umbrella has brought to many industries, it has risen again.
At least in this small piece of land in Europe, it is still a leading large-scale comprehensive group, and now it is riding on the coattails of Umbrella and is unrivaled in the limelight!
(Note: GE's acquisition of Alstom's power grid system was a lose-lose situation. Traditional energy sources were impacted, GE's stock price plummeted by two-thirds, and Alstom was no longer listed in the Fortune 500. However, this is a parallel world, a parallel world influenced by Umbrella.)
After hearing this, Gu Nan couldn't help but be stunned.
What a coincidence?
Then he glanced at Wang Yi again.
Maybe, it's not 'such a coincidence'.
Frank also changed his schedule at the last minute, which means that Director Joel may have also made a sudden decision to fly here on this flight!
Why?
Uh, we also changed our schedule temporarily to come pick someone up, isn't this a coincidence...
"The person I'm going to pick up has arrived. Please excuse me for a moment. I will definitely visit you later."
Probably after understanding something in his mind, Gu Nan said with a somewhat strange expression.
Maybe, it seems that I can still make this deal.
When Frank heard Gu Nan's words, his face darkened slightly, but suddenly he forced out a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum. He no longer paid attention to Gu Nan, and walked quickly forward with a smile on his face.
He spoke in advance to the group of people walking quickly.
" Mr. , what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here..."
Director Joel, who was walking quickly over there, just forced a smile and nodded when he saw Frank, and didn't even give any response.
He just waved his hand and sent him away.
This made Frank, who was fully prepared, look a little stiff.
Not really!
Director Joel has always been gentle and polite, and we even chatted for a few minutes at the banquet.
Out of politeness, you should stop and talk for a few words. Why are you doing this?
But the next moment, he was bewildered to see Director Yoel suddenly smile in a way that was almost identical to his own, and uttered a series of fluent Chinese.
"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Qian? I didn't expect to see you here by such a coincidence!"
Frank doesn't know Chinese, but nowadays translation software is extremely powerful, coupled with the intelligence of the Red Queen+ system, when he turned his head to look at the bracelet, the translation was automatically completed and transmitted to his ears through the Bluetooth headset.
Isn't this the line I just said...
