money trouble

Chapter 703 Trap? ! (4K chapters)

"The person staring at me at the airport was arranged by you?"

Wu Qian asked coldly.

No one likes to be watched, let alone the top rich people. Normal attention is one thing, but monitoring is different. It has a special purpose.

After Wu Qian's words fell, Rabo Elkann's side was quiet for a while, and then a cry of grievances sounded.

"No, how is it possible! Wu, I didn't send anyone to follow you, why... why are you being followed and monitored?"

Labo Erkan's tone was very aggrieved, and it sounded as if it had nothing to do with him.

Wu Qian didn't believe it easily, he asked, "Really? Then why do you know what I've done recently?"

Labo Elkann wanted to cry but had no tears. He just wanted to make a joke with Wu Qian, but he almost had a big misunderstanding, so he quickly explained.

"Wu, listen to me. I found out about it when I was chatting with one of my clan brothers. I'm afraid you don't know that our family's automobile group has certain business contacts with ThyssenKrupp, so we are very concerned..."

"Do you think the acquisition of nearly [-] billion euros is very small? Just ask around and you will know that an investment company called 'The Source of Happiness' is making the acquisition. Others don't know it, but I still know it. Isn't that what you are doing in the UK? Is it the investment company?"

He didn't know that this was Wu Qian's new company registered in Germany, but that didn't matter.

In fact, Elkann has another source of information. He did not tell Wu Qian, that is, Stefan also told him a lot about Wu Qian.

After all, it was Lapo Elkann who introduced Stefan to Wu Qian. Stefan wanted to get closer to Wu Qian through Lapo Elkann, so as to facilitate future cooperation.

This involved Rapo Elkann's personal interests, so he didn't say anything.

Wu Qian thought about it carefully, and felt that even if Lapo Elkann sent someone to stare at him, it probably couldn't be to harm him. The relationship between the two is not bad, and the interests are very close, at least in Da Vinci Before Qi's painting was released, the relationship was very good. What will happen after that is a matter of later.

"I'm sorry, Erkan, I blamed you wrongly, so let's pretend it wasn't you who did it."

Wu Qian said.

Lapo Elkann felt a pain in his gut, and he was making jokes with his mouth, which was out of place at all, and he was shooting himself in the foot.

"Wu, what is 'just as', I don't have it at all, I really don't... To tell you the truth, Stefan and I had a phone call yesterday and talked about your matter, that's it, so I You know exactly what you did in Germany, don't get me wrong."

As a last resort, Lapo Elkann still told the truth, and he didn't want to cause tension between the two because of a big misunderstanding.

Having said that, Wu Qian's heart is settled, knowing that it is indeed not Lapo Elkann's person, so the identity of that person is still a mystery in secret.

"Speaking of which, Wu, why are you being followed and monitored? Do you need my help? I have a castle in Germany, and there are my people there. Maybe it can play a role."

Rapo Elkann said sincerely, expressing concern.

Wu Qiandao: "Thank you, I'm already on the plane, Erkan, I'm looking for you for something else, I blame you for interrupting... I just want to ask if you know any historians who specialize in the study of the Medici family ? The kind that is reliable, not the kind that is always on TV and running trains!"

The chat span was as large as 1000 years, and Rapo Elkann's brain almost cramped, and he was stunned for several seconds before he could react.

"Wu, is the Medici family you are talking about the same Medici family that founded the Republic of Florence in our country?"

As the fourth generation of the super rich, Rapo Elkann's cultural knowledge is quite solid, not to mention the family that has created an era in his own country, he still knows it quite well.

Wu Qiandao: "Anyway, it is a very glorious family in European history. I don't know if the Republic of Florence was established..."

While speaking, Wu Qian was shocked. If what Lapo Elkann said was true, then the Medici family was historically powerful beyond his imagination.

There was a snap of fingers on the phone.

"That's definitely not wrong. It must be the Medici family I just mentioned. This family is so remarkable that scholars call it the 'Godfather' of the Renaissance!"

"However, that great family has disintegrated and disappeared into the long river of history. Wu, why do you suddenly want to know the history of our country?"

Lapo Elkann admires Wu Qian's unconstrained thinking. For a while, he will be the behind-the-scenes boss of the third world country, and for a while he will wave the money to buy the "World Steel King", and then he will start to study history again, with strange brain circuits.

"Could it be... Wu, are you planning to immigrate to Italy? Oh, I sincerely welcome you, and I can help you obtain noble status."

Rapo Elkann asked very excitedly.

Wu Qian scratched his head and said, "Don't interrupt me. What kind of people am I moving? Is the title of nobility important to me? Or is it about the Medici, the 'Godfather' of the Renaissance? How do you say this?"

Lapo Elkann shrugged his shoulders. Of course he knew that the aristocracy, a class that many people yearned for, was within easy reach for Wu Qian, so he really didn't care, but he really wanted to attract a billionaire to become an Italian...

"Oh, it's a long story. Fortunately, I studied hard back then. The thing is like this..."

Seeing that Wu Qian was very excited to talk, Labo Elkann picked up some things he knew and talked about them.

There was a member of the Medici family named Lorenzo who paid great attention to cultural accomplishment. He was a famous poet and art critic himself, and surrounded by the best scholars, literati and artists at that time.

Lorenzo imitated the "Banquet" in Plato's "Dialogues", organized scholars to conduct philosophical discussions, and sponsored a large number of Renaissance literati and artists, the most famous being Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, Galileo, Raphael and others.

Among them, Michelangelo is the most representative. It can be said that Michelangelo's life has an inseparable relationship with the Medici family.

At that time, the Medici family built churches and public facilities, rewarded culture, recruited and funded artists, collected books and manuscripts and opened them to the public, involving poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, history, philosophy, political theory and other fields. very broad.

"Without the Medici family, the Italian Renaissance would certainly not be what it is today, so the Medici family is called the 'Godfather' of the Renaissance... Wu? Are you still listening? Oh, is it the airplane The online signal is unstable...huh?"

Lapo Elkann spoke vigorously, and after he finished speaking, he found that the opposite side was surprisingly quiet.

Wu did not speak for a while, whether it was the establishment of the Florentine Republic, or the funding of literati, artists, and the "Godfather" of the Renaissance, these series of actions are really surprising.

This is not a brilliant family in the traditional sense!
"I'm listening, Erkan, as the saying goes, 'live to learn', I'm particularly interested in learning about the history of the Medici family, can you help me find some experts and professors in this field, I want to understand systematically learn."

Wu Qian said.

Lapo Elkann said: "There is no problem, you come to Italy, and I will help you invite the most authoritative historians who study the Medici in the country to have a symposium, and you can ask whatever you want to know, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied .”

Both wisdom and technology serve capital, and the flow of capital also determines the flow of wisdom.

Wu Qian didn't expect such a big fanfare, he didn't want to let the mysterious key matter be revealed.

"Erkan, how about this, you take a few experts to Solan, let's talk over there, don't make such a big move, it will waste people's money."

Lapo Elkann rolled his eyes and thought, when did you worry about wasting money and people, I'm sorry to expose Wu Qian, he said.

"It's not a problem. The college I used to study has relevant history professors. I'm just a little worried about the physical condition of those old professors. I'm afraid they are not suitable for traveling across the ocean."

The name of the Medici family has always enveloped the city of Florence, and studying the history of the Medici family or the history of the Florentine Republic is a lifelong research project for many historians.

Wu Qian smiled embarrassedly, thinking about the scholars with achievements in history research, I am afraid they are all elderly people, he said: "Don't let the old professor run around, you can find the old professor's students, For a layman like me, that should be enough."

Wu Qian didn't want to be a scholar, he just wanted to know some secrets about the Medici family. There was no need to consult authoritative professors. Some questions were not suitable for talking with serious and rigid old people.

Lapo Elkann didn't believe that Wu Qian would really take the time to learn about history, and there must be some intention behind it, but he couldn't figure it out now either.

"Okay, Wu, I'm going to discuss this matter right now. I just want to talk to you about the development of casinos and gaming. Recently, I have a new idea... Well, let's talk about it when we meet."

"OK, bye."

After speaking, Wu Qian hung up the phone.

After timely deployment and deployment by Kureta, he dispatched all the forces cultivated by the Sergei family in Ethiopia to Addis Ababa, a total of 200 people.

Originally, there were more than this few people, but because some people were dispatched to build the military factory, there were only so many people available for the time being.

Under normal circumstances, an armed force of 200 people is enough to deal with most emergencies. What's more, those forces are extremely well-equipped, and they are not soldiers of the Patriotic Army with Bobosa in their hands.

The smiling face A380 was flying at an altitude of [-] meters. After talking on the phone with Lapo Elkann, Wu Qian felt a little more relaxed. He didn't think about the monitor anymore, because it was useless to think about it.

It's time to eat, drink, and deal with things when they come.

Just when Wu Qian had finished his lunch and was about to take a good nap, the phone rang in a hurry.

A member of the spade team hastily handed the communication equipment to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian took a look at Kuretta's call, he pressed the answer button, and before he put the receiver to his ear, Kuretta's roar sounded from the speaker.

"Wu, don't land in Addis Ababa, something happened there!"

Wu Qian didn't hear clearly what Kuretta said, and only after asking again did he understand, he was slightly startled.

"What happened?"

Kureta said: "I sent the forces stationed in Ethiopia to the airport, but I made a very terrible discovery. Someone has already ambushed at the airport. Where are you now, change the route quickly!"

While listening to the phone, Wu Qian waved to David, and said, "Tell Bauer to slow down and wait for my orders."

After finishing speaking, he asked Kuretta, "Tell me the details!"

There were visible beads of sweat on Kureta's head, but it wasn't because of the heat. The air-conditioning in his room kept him from sweating, which was scary.

"Do you know that the Ethiopian state owns the Mi military base? It is the Mi army that is besieging Addis Ababa International Airport! I don't know who the Mi army is going to deal with, but you must be careful, over there It is likely to be a trap! Did the news of the experiment leak out?"

Cooks looked very serious.

Half an hour ago, his people arrived at Addis Ababa International Airport, but when they were about to reach the ground, they noticed something wrong with the atmosphere from the faces of ordinary people. Fortunately, the leader was more careful and disguised himself to find someone After some inquiries, I got amazing news.

The Mi Army wants to arrest international fugitives at the international airport!

If there was no notice from Wu Qian, Kureta would not have taken this matter to heart at all, but the combination of these two things was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but worry.

Wu Qian's heart felt cold, and he clenched his fists tightly.

What did he go to Germany for, to buy ultra-high-strength steel, and what to do with ultra-high-strength steel, to do experiments...

Whether the news leaked or not, he didn't know!

"If the Mi Army is really waiting for me, then it was the CIA guy who was watching me at the airport!"

The more he thought about it, the more Wu Qian felt that it was possible. Although there was no absolute evidence, he had already determined that the person who monitored him at the airport was a CIA investigator.

"Wu, don't make random guesses. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. The most important thing now is to quickly find a place to land. You must not go to Ethiopia. My people have no chance of winning in a confrontation with the Mi army in Ethiopia. Really!"

Kuretta is very anxious, this kind of thing must not be risky, and even a risky forced landing cannot risk entering a place surrounded by the Mi army!
The power cultivated by the Sergei family in Ethiopia is very sophisticated, better than many warlords, but compared with the already large-scale rice army, it is still a bit short, especially when more than half of the people are building in Solan arms factory.

"Okay, Kureta, thank you, I'll think of a way first, and contact me if I need your help."

After speaking, Wu Qian hung up the phone.

Kuretta held the mobile phone with one hand, and pressed the other hand on a stack of complicated drawings, which were all the drawings he made through various relationships, and the drawings for manufacturing various armaments.
