Chapter 944 Potential Rivals in the City of Fraternity

When the Airbus 330 flew straight into the sky from Zhonghai Airport, Wu Tao officially began his first trip to Europe after the millennium.

Different from the previous trip to Munich, this time the team was much stronger.

The investment in ASML is undoubtedly the theme of this European trip, but as the boss of Yuanqi Technology, several of the company's major offices in Europe are also among his visits during this trip.

On the one hand, most of these offices were spun off from the original Ericsson Mobile Phone Division. After the change of offices, they also need the care and condolences of the leaders of the head office. Even if nothing else, it is necessary to stimulate foreign employees' recognition of the new owner Yuanqi Technology.

On the other hand, Lotus mobile phones and Lotus Pod have achieved quite good results in the European market thanks to the work of these offices.

This is of great significance to Lotus mobile phones. After all, Europe has always been the home base of Nokia mobile phones. Being able to plant the flag of Lotus mobile phones on this continent is definitely a huge breakthrough.

To this end, in addition to the professional investment team headed by Qin Xiaoxiao from Tianqi Investment, Yuanqi Technology also sent a technical team headed by Ni Guangnan among the teams visiting Europe this time.

As the general manager of the Los Angeles branch, Wu Yingying did not come with her this time, but she sent the branch's authoritative consulting team to be at Qin Xiaoxiao's disposal.

As for Yuanqi Technology, in addition to the three-person chip team led by Ni Guangnan, Tan Xiaofei and Cai Bing from the last trip to Europe are also in the team.

In addition, it was Pei Ying, secretary of the President's Office, who was accompanying Wu Tao on a business trip for the first time.

The flight of more than ten hours was actually not easy, but Pei Ying, who was going abroad for business for the first time, was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

Sitting in first class for the first time, and being next to her boss, Pei Ying felt that this business trip was simply wonderful.

It's just that the tall and straight stewardess who keeps coming to disturb me is a bit annoying. She delivers blankets and newspapers at one time, as if she can't see the wolfish ambition under her pretty smile.

So when flight attendant Gao Changzhi stood up disappointed after being rejected by her boss for the sixth time, Pei Ying warned Wu Tao in person: "Boss, when you are away from home, you must know how to protect yourself! For strangers who deliberately strike up conversations, Be careful..."

Wu Tao suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Secretary Pei, I'm a man, so I'm not exaggerating. But beautiful girls like you should protect yourselves and always be wary of strangers."

"No, no, no, boss." Pei Ying rarely expressed her point of view: "It is precisely because you are a young and handsome boy that you should protect yourself."

After saying that, he gave Gao Changzhi a meaningful look at the stewardess.

As a result, the flight attendant Gao Changzhi, who had not gone far, brushed her face and her face turned red to the root of her neck. Her footsteps suddenly accelerated as she left, and she almost staggered.

Wu Tao smiled, but he did not say much on this issue. Instead, he asked: "Have President Fujiwara, Molly and Panis all arrived in Amsterdam?"

"Well, according to the latest news before boarding the plane, President Fujiwara's team will arrive five hours earlier than us. And Molly and Miss Parnis are expected to arrive in the early morning of tomorrow local time, a little later than us."

Wu Tao nodded, picked up the newspaper sent by the flight attendant, and flipped through it casually. He felt that there was nothing in it, so he put it back.

Seeing this, Pei Ying took off the headphones from her ears and gave them to Wu Tao along with the Lotus Pod in her hand: "Boss, how about you listen to music and take a rest?"

Wu Tao waved his hand, "No need, I'll take a nap."

A flight of more than ten hours is not a pleasant experience. Fortunately, this journey was a direct flight, so there was less ups and downs than flights with stops.

When we arrived in Amsterdam, it was late afternoon and early evening local time. It seemed like only one afternoon had passed before Zhonghai boarded the plane at noon, but the fatigue of the long-distance flight was real, no less.

But when the car entered the city of Amsterdam, the fatigue was suddenly gone.

As the most famous fraternity capital in the world, the air here is full of enthusiasm and unrestrained atmosphere.

There is no endless traffic, no row upon row of steel jungles, but the neon night shaded by the ancient European city can still reflect its prosperity and heritage.

However, seeing this scene, Pei Ying, who was looking around, lost a lot of points: "It is said that the Netherlands is a developed country, but its capital, Amsterdam, doesn't look like much. But this city is built on the water, which is quite novel. of."

Coincidentally, the Hyatt Hotel where everyone finally stayed was a five-star hotel located on the canal.

When Wu Tao got out of the car, Rina Fujiwara and Alyssa had already greeted her from the hotel lobby.

The weather in Amsterdam is a bit cooler than that in Jinling.

But this does not prevent Rina Fujiwara from dressing particularly enchantingly and beautifully.

"Wu Sang, you are finally here. I have already ordered dinner and will be waiting for you."

As Fujiwara Rena spoke, she naturally put her arm on Wu Tao's arm, as if she was in such a romantic foreign country and couldn't suppress the urge to get close in her heart.

Wu Tao turned around and confessed to Pei Ying and Qin Xiaoxiao, asking them to take care of everyone's food and daily life, and then went with the master and servant Fujiwara Reina.

In the hotel restaurant, Fujiwara Reina poured two glasses of red wine herself, and raised the glass with beautiful eyes: "Wu Sang, I wish us success this time, cheers!"

After a ding, Wu Tao touched the other party lightly and said, "By the way, have you concluded the negotiation between Nikon and Canon?"

Fujiwara Reina took a pile of materials from Alyssa and said: "Although the results of the cooperation negotiations are not ideal, it is enough as a bargaining chip to contact Asmai."

Wu Tao picked it up, glanced at it and said, "That's good! Thank you for your hard work, cheers!"

While the two were chatting happily, an unexpected voice came from the side.

Wu Tao raised his eyes and saw, why did Samsung Group send him here?

The person in charge sent by Samsung Group this time was Park Zhengnan, whom Wu Tao had dealt with before because of the LCD screen business.

"President Wu, I'm really surprised to see you here!"

"Minister Park, long time no see. It seems that the goal of our trip is the same."

After experiencing the turmoil of previous cooperation, Park Zhengnan still paid special attention to Wu Tao. After all, he understands the family background of Yuanqi Technology, and he also understands the international influence of Lotus mobile phones today.

But another Chinese face following him disagreed and hummed: "ASML's shares will only be subscribed by industry companies and groups recognized by them. Not all companies can subscribe casually!"

Pu Zhengnan looked awkward and quickly explained: "Vice President Liu, you may not understand, but Yuanqi Technology is actually a very powerful company!"

Liu Deyin couldn't help but look shocked. The young man in front of him was actually the president of Yuanqi Technology?

In comparison, I am in my forties and have reached the top level of TSMC, so I seem to have nothing to be proud of.

For a moment, Liu De lost all his energy, but when he thought about the discussion in the semiconductor industry, he couldn't help but stiffen up and said: "Maybe Yuanqi Technology is very strong in other aspects, but in the semiconductor field, hum..."
