Chapter 651 Preliminary Determination of the Battle Situation (5K Chapters)

"Boss, things are not as exaggerated as you think. The main business of the Royal Cruise Lines Group today is only repairing and remodeling ships. Although it has the name of cruise ships, it has long stopped undertaking cruise ship manufacturing business."

Rosalind looked at the equipment in her hand and said, "The market value of the Royal Cruise Lines Group is less than one-twentieth of that of the Atlantic Shipyard."

Atlantic Shipyard is the French shipyard that built the "Symphony of the Seas", with a market value of about 60 billion euros, while the market value of the Royal Cruise Lines Group is only [-] million pounds.

The market value of [-] million pounds seems to be a lot, but the Royal Cruises Group used to be the shipyard that built the famous top-level cruise ships. Compared with the past, it is now in a state of decline.

Wu Qian smiled, shook his head and said, "It seems that I made a mistake, and I shouldn't choose to renovate the cruise ship in this small shipyard in England, huh? Wait a minute, Rosalind, you said that the Spanish company When did you acquire the Royal Cruise Line?"

"Four days ago, what happened, Boss?" Rosalind replied.

Wu Qian frowned, he felt that he had neglected the important information of time node.

"Four days, four days ago... Can you help me recall, was it just a few days after I took over the 'Symphony of the Sea' from Sartmucci? By the way, I invited Mr. Wang together four days ago Visiting the cruise ship is coming!"

Wu Qian felt that the timing of Cui Zairen's acquisition of the Royal Cruises Group was too coincidental. By coincidence, he had just officially announced that he would build a Harold branch in the sea, and he had already made preparations here. This is not normal.

"Could it be that Mr. Wang is a spy of the Cui family? It's impossible... In Mr. Wang's identity, the reverse is almost the same, and Mr. Wang doesn't know where the cruise ship is being rebuilt. Who could it be?"

Wu Qian muttered softly.

Apart from Wu Qian, there were Kux and Rosalind in the car. Kux drove slowly, because the BOSS did not give clear instructions, so he didn't know where to go. Hearing what the BOSS said, he continued: "Boss, You didn't just meet Mr. Wang that day, it was also the day when several high-level officials from Harold arrived in the capital."

Wu Qian seemed to be remembering something with his eyes closed, and he just waved his hands when he heard what Kux said. There was a picture in his mind, which was the picture of Captain Kanop leading the high-level people on the cruise ship to welcome him.

"Do you still remember that there is a high-level person on board, whose official position is..."

Before Wu Qian finished speaking, Rosalind said, "Do you mean the third or fourth officer on the ship?"

Slap, Wu Qian slapped his thigh, opened his eyes, and exclaimed: "Yes, that's the man. I remember that person was the third officer, and the fourth officer was a black fat man from Algeria! The third officer was from Bangzi Country! Called... …What was it called, damn it, I don’t remember.”

The third officer is the job title of the crew, second to the second officer, generally in charge of life-saving equipment, fire-fighting equipment, etc., and takes turns driving on duty during sailing. Although he is not the top officer on the ship, he definitely has a pivotal position in terms of safety.

There were more than a dozen high-level executives on the cruise ship that day. Wu Qian only remembered the captain’s name as Kanopu, and he forgot all the names of the others. At most, he remembered some characteristics. It was really a rush.

Rosalind quickly checked the information, and said: "The information compiled by the 'Symphony of the Sea' shows that the third officer is indeed from the Bangzi Kingdom, and his name is Cui Junsu!"

"Go! It's him!" Wu Qian shouted.

There are more than [-] staff members on the cruise ship, including people from all over the world. If Wang Chenchen hadn't happened to overhear Cui Zairen and others' plan, Wu Qian would never have thought of the ghost on the cruise ship.

"If the guess is correct, this person named Cui Junsu is the guy who tipped off Cui Zairen, Ma De, this whole line is ambush deep enough."

After all, Wu Qian took out his phone and was about to contact Captain Canop, but he changed his mind and called Sartmucci first.

There is no other meaning, mainly to ask about the career trajectory of Canopu. After asking, Wu Qian felt that the captain should be fine, so he called Canopu.

From Shanghai to London, the road is not close. Starting from the East China Sea, one has to go through the Gulf Strait, the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, the Andaman Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the English Channel before arriving in London.

At this time, the "Symphony of the Sea", which had just set off for a few days, sailed out of the territorial waters of the Celestial Dynasty.

The dark night sky is full of stars. Appreciating the starry sky on the ocean is no less satisfying to the senses than looking up at the sea of ​​stars in the desert.

Canopu is ready to rest. This time period is the time for the second officer to be on duty. Because there are no tourists, it is relatively easy to sail. As long as the weather permits, it is basically advancing at full speed.

Kanop was surprised when he received a call from his new owner.

"Boss, good evening (he thought Wu Qian was still in the Celestial Dynasty), what instructions do you have?"

Wu Qian didn't care about the details of etiquette, he asked, "Are you alone now?"

Kanop said sternly: "I am preparing to rest in my cabin, and I am alone."

"Let me ask you something. Is the third officer on the ship a Chinese man named Cui Junzhu?" Wu Qian didn't directly support him, but asked about the situation first.

Kanopu didn't understand why the boss asked this, but he replied truthfully: "Boss, Cui Junsu is a crew member who joined the job half a month ago and has a very good resume. According to his qualifications, he is fully qualified to serve on a general cruise ship Mate..."

"Third Mate Cui is usually very conscientious. Many things are done by himself, and his execution ability is very strong. I think that if the first mate retires, he has a chance to be promoted. Hey, boss, are you listening to me? Xie Te, is there no signal It's..."

Bang bang, the sound of a phone knocking.

Kanop talked for a long time and found that the receiver was very quiet.

After Wu Qian heard that Cui Junzhu joined the job a month ago, he had already confirmed the fact that he was an insider.

"There is a signal, Kanop, listen to me..."

After all, there must be someone who can be trusted. Wu Qian told Kanop some of the news he knew.

"What? Cui Junsu is a spy? They're going to tamper with the cruise ship?!"

After listening to Wu Qian's words, Kanop suddenly became restless.

"Someone informed me in advance that the Royal Cruise Group has been infiltrated by the other party. As for Cui Junzhu, he can only be regarded as a suspect. You should pay more attention to his behavior. If there is anything unreasonable, just control it directly!"

Wu Qian ordered.

"Boss, don't worry, I will never allow him to do anything that hurts 'Symphony of the Sea', I will definitely pay close attention!"

It is the honor of Kanop's life to be the captain of the largest cruise ship in the world today, and he will never allow his honor to be stained.

Wu Qian couldn't see Kanopu's appearance, the guy's cheeks were flushed with anger, and he said: "Don't act rashly, first see what he will do next, and make sure to catch the evidence before you do it. In addition, the flight route follows the normal Let's go, this whole cruise ship only allows you to know about it!"

Some people regard trust as dung, while others regard trust as life. Ocampu is the latter. He is full of glory for the new boss's trust in him, and he has repeatedly promised to complete the task.

The two hung up the phone after finishing their business.

Wu Qian was circling around with his mobile phone in his hand, thinking about it in his mind, and decided to change to another shipyard to remodel the cruise ship.

The British shipyard was infiltrated by the opponent, so change it. Since the conspiracy has been seen through, there is no need to be tough.

It is ability to solve problems, but it is even more ability to prevent problems from happening.

After thinking for a while, Wu Qian called Labo Erkan.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected.

"Hi~~~, dear Wu... wait, baby, don't worry, this is a very important call, MUA... Wu, what can I do for you?"

In some particularly critical times, if it wasn't for an important call, it would be impossible for Rapo Elkann to answer it.

Wu Qian heard the voice in the background, with a strange expression on his face, and said: "Erkan, you in broad daylight... well, I admire your energy, let me ask you something, is there a particularly large family in your country? shipyard?"

Lapo Elkann held the phone around his neck, picked up the bathrobe from the floor next to the bed, wrapped it up, and said, "Wu, I guess you mean Fincantieri Shipyard, if so, then That's right, the scale is indeed very large. By the way, I read the news today, is the Solan Kingdom marked?"

Italian Fincantri Shipbuilding Group is the world's largest cruise ship builder and the world's fourth largest shipyard.

This group has a long history of designing and building warships for nearly 200 years. The group headquarters is in "Trieste", and the design department is in Genoa. It has produced about [-] ships of various types. The main products are passenger ships, ferries, water surface ships, auxiliary ships and submarines.

Fincantry represents Italy's advanced industrial technology, especially passenger ships and luxury cruise ships occupy the first position in the world, accounting for about 40.00% of the international market share, today, Fincantry also holds a branch of the French Atlantic Shipyard shares.

Wu Qian chuckled inwardly. At the beginning, Rabo Elkann didn't show much concern for the affairs of Solan Kingdom, but he still took the initiative to pay attention to it. It seems that the willingness to participate is quite strong, but it is not yet possible to talk about those matters. when.

"It seems that you are more aware of the situation in Solan than I am. Haha, Kuretta is manipulating the battle situation. I don't know much about it. I want to ask, do you have any acquaintances in the Fincantree Group?"

Labo Erkan laughed loudly, and said, "Wu, you have to trust the power of the Agnelli family in Italy. Could it be that your newly bought cruise ship is malfunctioning? Or are you planning to build a few destroyers to fight pirates in the Persian Gulf?"

Wu Qian said angrily: "Shut up your god-level crow's mouth! My cruise ship needs to be remodeled on a project, and I don't know which shipyard is better for it."

Labo Elkann thought of the powerful effect of his crow's mouth, and quickly stopped mentioning those things that were not there, and said seriously: "Remodeling a cruise ship is a child's play for Fincantree, Wu, do you need me to make any arrangements in advance? "

Wu Qian said: "No, I just want to know more, and I still need to ask Germany and Finland. You should be busy. If you have time, go to Italy to find you."

"Okay, welcome to Italy, goodbye my friend."

After all, the two hung up the phone.

While Wu Qian was calling Elkann, Rosalind was looking at Fincantry's information. After the analysis of the two, Fincantree had a military background, and it was absolutely impossible for a shipyard of that level Being penetrated in a short time, there is no problem with security.

……

In the next few days, Wu Qian would contact Ocampu every day, but Cui Junzhu did not have any weird behavior.

After three days in a row, Wu Qian simply forgot about Cui Zairen's conspiracy against him, and couldn't delay his life because of something that didn't happen.

As the days passed, Wu Qian went to Leeds Castle to inspect the solid-state battery laboratory that had been moved there, learned about the progress of the experiment, and supervised it.

On the same day, Wu Qian asked Fimiller to entrust the gold shop that built the pure gold football for Guardiola, and helped him make some gadgets.

The last stop of Manchester United's trip to heaven was in the capital. Apart from club members, Yao Xinlu and Lu Hao also flew to London with the plane.

Wu Qian went to the airport to welcome the players back.

The next day of the team is training, preparing for several upcoming competitions in Europe.

Wu Qian also received an invitation letter from the British Museum to attend an art appreciation party. At the party, he once again met Pino, the eldest grandson of the Swiss banker whom he met at the Clion Celebrity Ball.

Seeing Wu Qian again, Pino was very happy. Wu Qian reminded him not to touch the stock of the Jiang Group. It turned out to be such a wise decision.

Pino introduced Wu Qian to his friends, and his circle was also full of friends in the financial circle.

A group of "financial darlings" talked about the long-short battle that took place in the Brent crude oil market some time ago. The big guys were beaming with joy, those who made money laughed heartily, and those who lost money smiled wryly and shook their heads.

As a long-short-take-all investor, Wu Qian held a wine glass in the crowd and acted as an audience. Whenever people around him highly praised short-seller investors, Wu Qian felt particularly beautiful in his heart.

If people who have lost money know that the strongest force in the short sellers is Wu Qian who laughed with him, I don't know what they will think.

Three days after Fimiller entrusted the gold shop, a middle-aged man visited the Partridge Manor, carrying a combination box a circle smaller than a regular desktop case.

"Mr. Wu, the item you requested has been built, are you satisfied?"

After all, the middle-aged man opened the password box in his hand.

I saw a dazzling golden flash out of the lockbox, and dozens of playing cards made of pure gold were laid on top of the black flannel, as delicate as a work of art.

Wu Qian picked up an Ace of Spades from the password box. It felt cold to the touch, and the golden light shone. The numbers and patterns made of obsidian inlaid on the surface of the card with special patterns carved on it were very textured.

Each playing card costs about [-] grams of gold, and the cost of a deck of playing cards is close to one million soft sister coins.

"That's right, Fimiller, pay the balance."

Wu Qian accepted the pair of pure gold poker, and then called all twelve newly hired bodyguards to his side.

Looking at the group of men and women with strong martial arts in front of him, Wu Qian smiled and said, "Do you know my name?"

"I know, Mr. Wu, Wu Qian!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Very good, well, some people's Mandarin is not up to standard, and they need to practice more."

A humorous sentence amused everyone, and Wu Qian continued: "It is not difficult for you to remember my name alone, but it is difficult for me to remember the names of so many of you. It's an embarrassing situation, and I have specially prepared some gifts for you."

Wu Qian pointed to the desk beside him, and said, "You are the second batch of bodyguards following me. It is a great honor that you have won the spades card."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian walked to the table, picked up the Ace of Spades from the velvet cloth, looked around, and said, "Which one of you wants the biggest Ace of Spades?"

A is generally regarded as the card with the largest suit. If anyone picks up this card, it means that he will be the boss of the group.

12 people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one took a step.

If you are still in the army at this moment, maybe someone will volunteer, but now that you have returned to a complicated society, everyone believes in the principle of keeping a low profile in life, so I'm sorry.

With one hand behind his back, Wu Qian held the golden ace of spades with the other, and looked at the crowd waiting in front of him with a smile. Although everyone's eyes were burning, no one was willing to take a step forward.

"I recommend one person, and he will be your leader in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian flicked his wrist, and the playing cards turned into a golden light, flying towards Cooks who was standing beside him.

As the first person who followed him, Wu Qian was more trusting psychologically, and Kux had the most ghost ideas. In other words, he had good combat effectiveness and good brains, and it was not a big problem to play the Ace of Spades.

None of the 12 players became the Ace of Spades, but no one had any objections. They had heard of Kux in G4S to some extent. This German man is indeed very capable.

Next, Wu Qian broke up the remaining twelve playing cards and asked 12 people to draw one by one.

"8 of spades, K of spades, 10 of spades..."

Every time a poker was handed out, Wu Qian tried his best to remember the opponent's appearance, and when the twelve poker cards were all handed out, he clapped his hands.

"Okay, this will be your code name from now on, but you are not allowed to owe foreign debts and sell the poker, do you hear me?"

"Yes, BOSS!"

Everyone reached it with one voice, with a great sense of belonging, and everyone hid this golden poker that represented their identity close to their bodies.

"Okay, let's go..."

Wu Qian waved his hand and dismissed his bodyguards.

This is just a small episode in ordinary days. Recently, what Wu Qian must do every day is to understand the situation of the Solan Kingdom. The whole process is somewhat different from David's original guess. Facts have proved that where there is white, there is black.

Kureta and Wu Qian supported Or Hanwen to re-rule the Solan Kingdom, and mysterious capital also appeared behind the tripartite warlords, providing them with sufficient armaments, and the war between the two sides fell into a stalemate.

However, this stalemate did not last long. After the two bombers loaded with cloud bombs that Kuretta got from nowhere, the resistance of the three-party coalition warlords was completely disintegrated, and there was not a single tile left in the stronghold...

This incident aroused great repercussions internationally, and some people stood up and made irresponsible remarks, but the noisy voice did not last long, and the flag died down.

　Thanks for the 1000 reward from the big guy in the book friend's imagination.
