Chapter 952 I only Speak for Myself

Although what Isabella said was not right, it was not far off.

This also made Wu Tao look at her with admiration. Unexpectedly, this romantic French girl still has some interesting ideas in her head.

No wonder it was easy to sneak into the Batumi Committee from ESTI.

It can be seen that the Western world still has some hostility and wariness towards the sudden rise of China.

On the one hand, it cannot give up such a huge and potential market; on the other hand, it is afraid of cultivating a strong competitor for itself.

Until the end of the banquet, Wu Tao watched silently and coldly.

Anyway, Isabella was with me from beginning to end, so it wasn't so lonely.

However, from the chat between Molly and Panis, Wu Tao knew that the organizer of this banquet had already met them in private.

This is obviously to show off oneself.

So when Molly asked to introduce him to the owner of the manor, Wu Tao refused without even thinking.

The situation is so clear, it makes no sense for me to use my hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks.

Molly felt that Wu Tao was being stubborn and that the Chinese people were obsessed with saving face, so she didn't understand it in her heart.

When the guests started to leave the banquet, Wu Tao immediately put down the wine glass he had been playing with for a long time, got up and walked out.

Isabella followed without saying a word.

But Molly and others, who were chatting with friends in the distance, had no time to follow.

After walking out of the manor's castle, Wu Tao looked up to the sky and let out a sigh of relief. The sky in Amsterdam is bright and blue, so pure. However, the circles and people in this place are not so simple.

"I'm a little hungry, how about you?" Wu Tao withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked back at Isabella, who had been accompanying him.

Isabella nodded happily, her pretty face flushed with joy, "Me too."

"Okay, then let's go have a big meal!"

Just as the two of them were about to leave, an arrogant voice came from behind: "Mr. Wu, a Chinese man, are you planning to leave in disgrace?"

Wu Tao turned around and saw a brightly dressed young man with sinister eyes, followed by a large group of men in black wearing sunglasses, rushing straight towards him.

The young man had unruly curly blond hair and a self-righteous smile in his blue eyes. He looked evil and unseemly.

Isabella was seen clutching Wu Tao's arm tightly and shrinking back.

Seeing the opponent's formation, Song Zhuang took the lead and stood in front of Wu Tao. Song Guanghui and others who were scattered beside the manor parking lot quickly gathered over.

While gathering, he stretched his hands to his arms.

The scene suddenly became tense.

Although his side did not have the upper hand in numbers and lacked the home court advantage, Song Zhuang was already thinking about how to send his boss away.

Wu Tao patted Song Zhuang's tense back and said lightly: "Don't be nervous. I think Mr. Agnelli just wants to say a few words of gloating. We also promote style and freedom of speech. There is no need to worry about this. Let’s go to war.”

Although the young man who came over could not understand what Wu Tao said to his subordinates, he could guess from the way Song Zhuang stepped aside.

Immediately, with a wave of his white-gloved right hand, the sturdy men in black behind him all stopped and stopped five steps away from Wu Tao.

At the same time, the young man spread his hands in a defenseless posture, took off the white gloves on his hands and said: "Mr. Wu is really brave. It seems that his family background in China is not ordinary. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man had already walked up to Wu Tao.

The two of them were thirty centimeters apart, which was not a particularly comfortable distance. Especially when the two parties are not familiar with each other and are in a state of openness and darkness.

Wu Tao's expression did not change, and he looked directly into the other person's blue eyes, "It's just average, at least compared to Mr. Agnelli's noble blood, it's really average."

"Andrea Agnelli, born in an Italian noble family." The other party introduced himself, but he didn't mean to hold out his hand.

Wu Tao said with understanding: "Wu Tao, a Chinese commoner."

Andrea frowned immediately, "I'm sorry, as a civilian, it's hard for me to imagine that Mr. Wu can represent China at this ASML bidding meeting. Or is Mr. Wu hiding something?"

Wu Tao's heart changed, and he felt that this guy thought he was a red capitalist and an official business of the Chinese government.

He shook his head in disappointment, "Maybe Andrea, you were wrong from the beginning. Whether you believe it or not, I only speak for myself, and all my actions only represent myself and my industry."

"I'm sorry, I can't believe it." Andrea spread her hands, shrugged and shook her head unabashedly.

So Wu Tao turned around and left without saying a word.

It wasn't until we reached the entrance of the parking lot that Andrea called from behind, "Wait a minute, Mr. Wu, we haven't finished talking yet, have we?"

"Andrea, if you preconceptionally think that I am a comprador capitalist of the Chinese government, then there is no need for us to continue talking. Isn't it?" Wu Tao's attitude was also very clear, as if he didn't care at all about this review and cooperation. .

"OK!" Andrea had lost the initiative, but still defended himself: "But as a private capitalist, Mr. Wu entered the semiconductor industry with such great fanfare, which is really hard to understand. After all, this is not an easy task. thing!"

Wu Tao said bluntly: "The greater the risk, the greater the return. This is a simple truth in the capital industry. I think you don't need me to remind you about this, right?"

"Even so, there is really no need for us to take the risk and let you, a company with a Chinese background, invest in ASML." After a long round of detours, Andrea finally got to the point.

Wu Tao said expressionlessly: "I admit that what you said makes sense. It seems that in Europe, a land that has experienced the first and second industrial revolutions, only conservatives are left who are not moving forward. No wonder this The world became American.”

"...Of course, by doing this, apart from handing over the huge Chinese market to others, or forcing China to use nationwide efforts to break through the key technologies of the semiconductor industry, it will not do any good to your consortium. Rely on it all day long. With a few balls and clubs, no matter how many tricks you play, how much money can you make?"

After saying that, Wu Tao smiled.

Andrea's face turned pale, "As long as we continue to implement the semiconductor technology blockade policy against China, how easy will it be for China to break through this technology? By then, no matter how big the Chinese market is, it will still be in our pocket. Isn’t it?”

Wu Tao smiled and shook his head, "Never underestimate the potential of the Chinese people! What's more, now that I and my partners are here. You may not care about the huge interests of the Chinese market, but there are always people who care. Maybe Taiwan, Japan , or Southeast Asia? Who knows?”

"No matter whether our result can be achieved or not, it cannot change the result on my side." Wu Tao continued firmly, "For me, everything is just a matter of time."

After speaking, he glanced at Andrea with contempt and said: "But for the Agnelli Consortium, whether you can get rid of the situation of being a vassal consortium in your lifetime often depends on your humble choice..."
