Sitting in the limousine specially arranged by the Moratti family, Ivanka kept asking her whether the dress she was wearing was beautiful. After receiving affirmative answers from everyone, she laughed. "This season is the most difficult to choose a dress. There are coats in winter and beautiful skirts in summer, but it is difficult to choose a suitable evening dress in this season."
The Moratti family¡¯s courtesy car is an extended Cadillac. Although it looks ordinary on the outside, the interior is very classy. Butler Maldini sat in the passenger seat and closed the cab and the rear glass, leaving a private space for Jonas and the five of them.
Jonas pinched her ears lovingly and said with a smile, "Have you not had enough of wearing beautiful clothes as a model?"
Ivanka smiled coquettishly and said: "It is the nature of every girl to pursue beauty."
Looking at Ivanka¡¯s charming appearance, Boggs couldn¡¯t help but secretly admire his boss. It's quite a skill to be able to train this proud girl of heaven into such a well-behaved person. However, when Ivanka later punished Jonas and turned him into a disgrace, Boggs withdrew his respect for his boss and gloated about his misfortune.
The car drove into the suburbs. Jonas's familiarity with Milan was limited to the urban area. At this time, he only knew that he was probably driving in the direction of Bergamo. The car passed through the fields, entered the hills, and drove into a hilly area full of grape plantations.
The partition glass window lowered, and Maldini turned around and said: "Sir, we immediately entered the area of ??Moratti's house. Now, Mr. Gianmarco has bought all the nearby hills to expand grape planting. . And our Castle Moratti has been famous for producing high-end wines since the Middle Ages."
Facing the good-looking Italian, Jonas certainly did not hesitate to flatter him and said with a smile: "What you said makes me full of curiosity about your castle."
Maldini said: ¡°Today¡¯s first arrangement will be for Mr. Gianmarco to take you to tour the entire castle, and secondly, he will also take you into our wine cellar that has been in existence for more than 400 years to taste various fine wines from our estate. "
Jonas smiled and said: "This is a good arrangement."
The car stopped on the square below the main entrance of the castle. Gianmarco and his family members stood under the high steps, waiting to greet Jonas. Jonas did not expect that the Moratti family would give him such high treatment, and he was filled with emotion for a moment. Every successful family has something worthy of respect.
Jonas did not let Boggs, who was sitting at the door, get off first, although under normal circumstances, Boggs should get off first. Jonas was the last to step down, but seeing that the other party gave such a high standard of greeting, Jonas, as a junior, really couldn't follow the normal etiquette. Jonas must respond to the other person's gesture.
Jonas got out of the car first. Facing the other party, he nodded slightly, turned around, took Ivanka's hand, and walked towards the other party. In addition to Gianmarco and his ministerial wife Letizia, Massimo, who is known as Dad by Inter Milan fans, and his wife Milly were also present. Jonas noticed that the wound on Giovanni's brow had been put on a flesh-colored bandage, and he couldn't really spot it unless he looked carefully. This obviously does not want to cause embarrassment to both parties.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????is not to wait for Gianmarco to speak. Jonas had already bowed, and Ivanka also held her skirt in hand and performed a ladylike salute. Jonas said: "I am really humbled to receive such courtesy from the Moratti family. This allows me to see the friendship of the Moratti family. I will definitely cherish this friendship and keep it."
With a word from Jonas. Gianmarco's posture had the desired effect. As an important member of the Zug energy interest group, the other party really controls the lifeblood of the Moratti family. Although he is a young man, young people need to maintain friendly relationships more. That's why Gianmarco put forward such specifications to give the other party enough face, and Jonas also accepted the favor.
The core company of the Moratti family, Salas Company, mainly focuses on oil refining. So they needed a steady source of oil, and there was no better supplier than the Zug interests. They have stable oil sources almost everywhere in the world and can continuously provide them to Salas.
Therefore, the lifeblood of Salas Company is controlled by Zug¡¯s interest groups. As a downstream enterprise, it is impossible not to want to be controlled by the Zug interest group. Even if it is not controlled by the Zug interest group, it will be controlled by other national forces. In comparison, the interest groups in Zug are the best partners to cooperate with, because they are only a loose combination of interest groups.
¡°Some people may not understand and think that since Salas Refining Company is the second largest single refinery in Europe, why does it not expand upstream and why does it let others control its lifeline? But both Gianmarco and Jonas knew that this was impossible.?.
Although Salas is not a small company, in the energy industry, it is just a small company at the bottom of the list. The huge investment in exploration and oil extraction is beyond their capabilities. If they make a mistake, they will only go bankrupt.
Even if they want to take a step forward and buy crude oil directly from oil-producing countries, it is almost impossible for them. In oil-producing countries, most oil is sold in the form of futures. That is to say, before the oil has been pumped out, the oil has already been sold or has an owner. Moreover, quota restrictions have also Let these oil-producing countries not be able to buy and sell at will.
Even if the Moratti family has money to invest, the transportation of crude oil is still not in direct hands. No matter which party delays a little, if Salas Company stops production for one day, the loss will be unbearable, because the operation of the oil refining equipment, It's not a light switch. It lights up when you turn it on and goes out when you turn it off. If the equipment cannot be supplied with crude oil for one day, it will take a week to adjust.
When buying oil yourself, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the quality of the oil. There is crude oil all over the world, but the quality data of crude oil in almost no place is exactly the same. If Salas Company wants the equipment to operate for a longer time and the maintenance time to be longer, then the quality requirements for crude oil need to be set. Set an upper and lower limit, but even in the Middle East, where the oil quality is the best, the crude oil from an oil well will have different water contents, and when the Moratti family buys crude oil themselves, they don¡¯t seem to have many choices in this regard.
The more links there are in the operation, the more difficulties and troubles they encounter. Since the Angelo era, the Moratti family has tried to purchase crude oil by itself, but the results are often unsatisfactory and the resulting cost waste is far greater. Much better than buying oil from a middleman.
It is precisely with such cooperation conditions that the Moratti family attaches so much importance to Jonas. Young people tend to do things recklessly. As Ritchie's godson and a member of Ganenko, if he wants to do something bad to the Moratti family, the Moratti family really has no good way to retaliate. So, since you can't offend, let's win over and be friends.
Gianmarco smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Hoffman has founded several companies at the age of 24 and entered the energy industry. He is worthy of everyone's respect."
The two parties were polite, and Gianmarco introduced the family members to Jonas in turn. Colston also stepped forward to formally apologize to Giovanni at the right time, and the atmosphere between the two parties was very harmonious.
Apart from Massimo, who is full of literary talents, Jonas is most concerned about the younger generation of the Moratti family, Roberta Armani, who is about the same height as Ivanka. This Massimo¡¯s eldest daughter-in-law is none other than fashion giant Giorgio Armani. Niece, one of the heirs of the Armani Group.
Just like the rumors from the outside world, women have a high status in the Moratti family. This is also related to the fact that the men in the Moratti family are more reserved and the women are more outstanding. Gianmarco's wife is now the Italian Minister of Education and will later be the mayor of Milan. Massimo's wife is a member of the left-wing party and her sister-in-law's opponent. Needless to say, Roberta Armani has always been the spokesperson of the Armani Group.
Ivanka, who is also a daughter of a wealthy family, quickly blended in with them, and everyone joined hands and set foot on the steps to enter the castle. This castle was built in 1212, which is almost 800 years old. It looks very ordinary on the outside, and the limestone building looks quite quaint.
Gianmarco introduced the history of the castle as he walked, while Massimo remained silent except for the initial pleasantries. The president of Inter Milan is immersed in endless frustration and chagrin at the moment, because he is about to be forced to bid farewell to his beloved position as president of Inter Milan. Of course Jonas would not tell him that Inter Milan would still rise and win an unprecedented five Serie A crowns.
Entering the hall of the castle, you will see a large number of antiques and famous paintings. Gianmarco proudly introduces the history of each antique, but the value is not something he considers. When Jonas saw this, he was very touched. In terms of capital, his family's current capital is no less than that of the Moratti family, but other than that, there is a big difference in history and heritage. Antiques can be bought, but the depth of history can only be accumulated over time.
Jonas initially thought about demolishing his old main house, but now, he has changed his mind. Not only can the main house not be demolished, but it will also be carefully managed as a museum in the future, so that my mother can collect a large number of antiques and have a chance to display them when VIPs come to the house in the future. There was a beautiful white castle in Lucerne, and Jonas decided that after returning, he would explore whether there was a chance to buy it.
Everyone browsed around the living room, and a group of women went to the large living room to chat. Gianmarco took Jonas to start a tour of the castle. As for Colston, he was lively and quickly became friends with Giovanni.??, Jonas has nothing to worry about. (To be continued)
