Chapter 1239 The Rothschild Family’s Small Tricks

Although I don't like David Rothschild in my heart, there is nothing unreasonable in his thoughts.

As its industrial layout expands in the European market, it is inevitable to join forces with local consortiums.

This kind of cross-shareholding penetration may look like pinching each other's eggs on the surface, but in fact it is far from that serious.

And smart people have an unspoken way of doing things, which is to do this mainly to make a fortune together.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, we will never really use this little leverage to fight to the death.

In contrast, through the ARM acquisition case, David has become more optimistic about Wu Tao and his team.

Obviously, this is not a Chinese darling who got up by luck, but a guy with real power.

So before the banquet was over, David took the opportunity to invite and arrange the program after the banquet.

It sounds very fanciful, but in fact Wu Tao is not very interested.

In his opinion, if you have that free time, it is better to go back and rest and adjust in order to participate in the agenda of the last day of the 3GPP exchange meeting.

Yet David insisted on the invitation, so much so that it felt sincere.

No matter what, as his primary partner in Europe, he still has to give him the face he deserves.

With this in mind, Wu Tao ordered the itinerary, and specifically did not let Liu Ruoxi follow him, lest this guy do something inappropriate and embarrassing.

However, what Wu Tao didn't expect was that he was overly worried.

This guy who calls himself a noble gentleman is obviously not as playboy and cynical as Jason.

At least in public, this guy looks more serious and serious than anyone else.

The convoy left the city of London and headed straight for the suburbs.

Seeing the darkness outside becoming more and more desolate, Song Zhuang solemnly ordered all members of the security team to be on alert through the headset.

On the contrary, Wu Tao felt relieved because of this, knowing that tonight's arrangement should have nothing to do with the absurdity he was worried about.

In about an hour, the convoy entered a small town and immediately stopped in front of an old castle built on a mountain.

The castle was brightly lit, and it was obviously a grand welcome ceremony.

David got out of the car in front, with an expectant look of "surprise or surprise".

Wu Tao got out of the car, curled his lips, and pretended not to see David's expectations. After all, in his eyes, this heavy medieval castle, no matter how brightly lit it was, still had an eerie atmosphere.

Who knows how many people have died in such an old castle?

However, Europeans are not taboo about these, and even regard them as a symbol of family strength, and they must have one.

Even if you can't get a well-preserved one, as long as it has a sense of history and a lot of effort to restore it, you won't hesitate.

Maybe this is what people like. This is also culture and must be respected.

With this thought in mind, Wu Tao reorganized his thoughts, followed David's enthusiastic pace, and walked straight into this magnificent castle.

This is an ordinary old castle, built on a mountain and surrounded by a green space. In the distance, you can vaguely see a large green space, shining with inexplicable rhythmic lights. According to Song Zhuang, it is the landing pad of a helicopter.

Walking into the interior of the castle, you will be greeted by luxurious and bright columns, mixed with various medieval murals, and you will be immersed in the simple atmosphere of the castle in an instant.

The butler of the castle is a polite Englishman, tall and thin, with meticulously styled hair, and even wearing a strange tuxedo.

"David, my master, welcome home."

David turned around and said, "Wu, this is Tony, the butler. If you need anything, just ask him."

Tony, a name that was called bad by the Chinese hairdressing industry, was attached to the old butler in his early fifties, which really made Wu Tao couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Dear guest, Wu, welcome to our visit."

Wu Tao held back his smile and kept walking, "Okay, Tony, thank you."

Tony turned to follow and said politely: "Wu, please allow me to introduce you to the specific situation of Rosa Castle. This is the private property of a nobleman in the British Middle Ages..."

Anyway, I am idle, just listen to stories.

Through Tony's detailed description, Wu Tao learned that the Rosa Castle was not large in scale. Not only could it not be compared with the Queen's Windsor Castle, it was even smaller than the Morgan family's castle.

The number of rooms is roughly equivalent to the configuration of a large villa. Just the golf course, helipad, and even a lake on the edge of the castle are luxurious features rarely found in ordinary villas.

When Tony introduced it, he was afraid that Wu Tao would underestimate this place because of its small size, so he explained it for a long time without introducing a few words.

It wasn't until Wu Tao made it clear that he liked this kind of castle that Tony felt relieved.

This is not Wu Tao's deliberate attempt to comfort people, but his true feelings and thoughts.

Compared to the densely packed and huge castle with who knows how many rooms, he is more accustomed to this kind of well-proportioned and well-designed family-style castle.

Speaking of which, I have to thank the nobleman in the Middle Ages for not blindly considering bigness as beauty.

While talking, the group of people came to the reception room of the castle.

The entire reception room is centered around a magnificent fireplace. Whether it is luxurious carpets or elegant seats, it gives people the ultimate visual impact and enjoyment.

David had long been accustomed to all this and calmly asked Wu Tao to sit down.

Then he ordered two bottles of Latour from Tony, and then asked Wu Tao if he had any additional requirements.

Since it was red wine, Wu Tao followed the local customs.

When Tony went down to prepare, David said straight to the point: "How about this castle, are you satisfied?"

"It's pretty good." Wu Tao said casually. Only after he finished speaking did he realize something was wrong, "What does it have to do with whether I'm satisfied or not, David, I don't understand."

David crossed his legs, sunk deeply into the large seat, spread his hands and said: "From now on, this castle will be your property. With it, you can often visit Europe in the future." .”

"Isn't this appropriate?" Wu Tao felt a little sudden, "After all, there is an old Chinese saying that no reward will be received without merit, so..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by David, "NO, Wu, don't say that. In fact, there is no need for a reason to give you a castle. Besides, as our cooperation deepens in the future, you will need more in Europe." A place to stay.”

"...And I admire you very much. Just like your cooperation plan with Quantum Fund and the Morgan family, it coincides with our actions in Europe. So believe me, we are destined to be excellent partners!"

Wu Tao paused for a moment and immediately understood that the other party was talking about the Bush administration's hands-on plan. Sure enough, a family with a deep foundation always has a few tricks up its sleeve.

However, he insisted: "This is still inappropriate, and taking care of such a large castle requires extra time and energy."

David spoke eloquently: "Don't worry about this, I will be responsible for all the expenses of Tony and his team. All of this is just a small gesture from the Rothschild family, please be sure to accept it."
