Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the architectural structure of the castle dates back hundreds of years, the Moratti family carried out a renovation in the 1970s and renovated it in the past few years, so the interior is still comfortable.

    In the Middle Ages, this castle was used as a prison for religious trials, and many heretics were detained and killed.  During World War II, after it was occupied by the Nazis, it was used as a prison for trial. It is unknown how many resisters were killed.  However, Westerners are not too taboo about these things, and Gianmarco was full of pride when he introduced them.

    Jonas really couldn¡¯t figure out why anyone would like to live in such an old castle where at least thousands of people died. If it were in China, few people would dare to live there. There is no need to set up a horror movie here.

    Passing through the passage made of boulders, we entered the basement. The original prison and torture chamber were now converted into a basement for storing wine. Huge oak barrels were neatly lined up along the wall.  Gianmarco smiled and asked: "Are you interested in trying the most outstanding Castro wine from our winery?"

    "It's a great honor." Jonas smiled and said: "My family also has a vineyard, with only three or four acres of land. Since it is in the north of the mountain, the temperature is slightly lower, so the quality of the wine is not as good as that of the wineries in the south of the mountain. Only sweet wine can still be tasted.  .¡±

    Gianmarco said modestly: "Although the grapes don't get enough sunshine, carefully brewed family wine will be better than mass-produced industrial wine. If you have the chance, you must taste it."

    Jonas said: "In two months, when the construction of my company is completed, we will hold a cocktail party, and I will invite Mr. Moratti to visit my humble home."

    Gianmarco smiled and said: "Although I don't like to socialize, I will definitely congratulate you personally."

    When Jonas was browsing Inter Milan¡¯s forum in his previous life, he saw a post introducing Gianmarco, saying that he was an Italian who didn¡¯t look like an Italian.  Because he is not only unassuming, but also enjoys a reclusive life. Except for necessary activities, people rarely see him outside.

    He took Jonas into a hut next to the wine cellar. The decoration inside the hut was very simple.  There was only a solid, heavy wooden table, and the walls were bare, exposing the grain of the original stone.  A small window about three meters above the ground is the only light point.  Without electric lights, this room would be extremely dark.  However, several log chairs covered with animal skins were very comfortable to sit on, and Jonas sat on them.  Only then did I realize that these chairs were all modern products designed according to human body structure and mechanics, but they were just deliberately made old.

    Gianmarco waited for Jonas to sit down before taking down a box of cigars from the closet behind him.  Although Jonas doesn't like cigars, it's hard to refuse at this moment.  After being polite, he accepted Gianmarco's offer.

    While the two of them were still toasting cigars, the butler brought three glasses of red wine and a glass of ice.  Gianmarco introduced: "These are the three best red wines in my winery. I think there must be one that can please you."

    Fortunately, he didn¡¯t ask Jonas to taste it, otherwise Jonas would have made a fool of himself based on his current level.  The cigar was lit.  Jonas took a puff.  After filtering it in his mouth, he slowly spit it out and said with a smile: "Seeing the background of the Moratti family made me understand the gap between us more clearly. Although money can buy many things, but  No history."

    This sentence just scratched Gianmarco¡¯s itch.  He smiled and said: "As far as I know, the history of the Hoffman family is not short. It's just that before you, it has never been able to develop commercially."

    Jonas said: "My ancestors have always been peace-loving. They were content with the ordinary lower class. From the beginning of recorded history, they have been living in the Bavarian countryside, making a living by farming and hunting. Until my great-grandfather,  With the help of relatives, he went to Hamburg to work on the dock. Because he once fell in love with a French girl, but the advent of World War I made them enemies. Therefore, after the end of World War I, my great-grandfather left his hometown.  I came to Switzerland to develop. When my generation came, I became an outlier in the family and became unsatisfied with the status quo."

    Gianmarco smiled and said: "It is precisely because of pursuit that human beings can continue to develop, and your ancestors will definitely be proud of you."

    "For a family, although the power of role models is huge, it also needs a complete education system and management system. In these aspects, the Moratti family is our role model."

    Gianmarco shook his head and said: "As you said, a complete education and management system is indeed very important, but our family has not done a good enough job in this regard. Compared with the Germans, we Italians are too weak.  Laziness and casualness, the pursuit of art and romantic nature make us always appear sentimental, making us far inferior to you Germans in terms of discipline. What's more, Italy is a personal sentiment.Yes, it is difficult for anyone in this circle to insist on being unique.  "

    Jonas asked: "Does Mr. Moratti still appreciate the quality of Germans?"

    Gianmarco nodded and said: "In my eyes, you Germans know discipline, obedience, and persistence, and these are what we lack."

    Jonas took a sip of his cigar and smiled: "If you hadn't been serious, I would have thought that this was your flattery to us Germans. Being able to get your praise for the Germans, as a German, I feel deeply about this."  pleasure."

    Gianmarco laughed: "Being able to take charge of one's work at the age of 24 and start working hard for the rise of the family is no exaggeration. Although Elkann of the Agnelli family is known as a prodigy in the business world,  But facing the complicated relationship with Fiat, I am still worried and troubled internally and externally, and he is 5 years older than you."

    Jonas said with a smile: "There is an old saying in China that it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it. It is only because of the strong support of my family that I have been able to achieve some small achievements."

    Gianmarco laughed and said: "So, you are the one who is in charge of your company now?"

    "It's just that my father is lazy. He is not used to dealing with chores." Although Jonas tried his best to answer calmly, he was very upset in his heart. This old fox accidentally fell into his trap and revealed the inside story of the family.  secret.

    "You are too humble. You are not a simple person to be recognized by Mr. Rich." Gianmarco smiled and poured three small glasses of wine and placed them in front of Jonas, with only one sip in each glass.  "Try it, there are three different flavors here, pick the one you like. It will be our main wine pairing in the evening."

    The two of them drank red wine and smoked cigars, and started talking freely in the execution chamber of hundreds of years ago.  For Moratti Castle.  Apart from history and red wine, there is nothing more praiseworthy.  Gianmarco knew very well that in terms of scenery, this place was far inferior to the Jonas family who lived on Mount Rigi, the Queen of European Mountains, so he did not take him to enjoy the surrounding scenery.  There is something special about talking freely in this torture chamber full of history.

    The two people communicated about the situation of the world energy market.  In terms of experience and understanding of the industry, Jonas is far inferior to Gianmarco, who has been immersed in the oil industry his entire life.  But the debate with Xue Tao in the previous life and the understanding of the situation in the future life.  It is also enough to communicate with Gianmarco on an equal footing.  Some of his forward-looking views were very much agreed with by Gianmarco, and the two of them had a very happy conversation.

    Regarding the prospects of cooperation between the two companies, they did not mention it, because they all understood that the relationship was in place, and when the opportunity came, both parties would not let go of the opportunity to cooperate.  There is no good personal relationship.  There is no solid foundation for cooperation.

Although there were many people, there was no chaos.  After Gianmarco took the host's seat, everyone was invited to sit in order according to their status.

    Jonas insisted that the women should be seated first.  No matter when, ladies first is the etiquette in European formal occasions.  The women didn't put off much.  First Leticia, then Ivanka.  Then Millie and they took their seats on the left side of the long table in order according to their status.

    The first seat on the right side of Gianmarco belongs to Jonas, the second to Massimo, and then their juniors, seated according to age.  After a while, Colston got into a heated relationship with several of their juniors. He did not sit under Massimo according to etiquette, but blended into Giovanni's side.

    Gianmarco didn¡¯t insist on etiquette, he was actually happy to see it.  Jonas, this weirdo, was different from the young people he had seen. He was as deep as a sixty-year-old elder. He relied on his juniors to deal with him. He was very afraid that none of his juniors could be his opponent.  And he doesn't seem to like talking about fashion, art, and beauties with young people. He prefers to silently calculate things behind his back. To establish a relationship with him, he still needs to take action himself.

    It would be much better if Colston could mix with his juniors and get closer.  At least one can see through Colston Gianmarco at a glance. He is a very simple person who likes to pursue all the things he should like at his age. He is the same as several of his younger descendants.

    Seeing the knives and forks in front of him, Jonas knew that the dinner tonight would be sumptuous because it was in Italy.  The number of knives and forks means the richness of the dish.  Different from French food, Italian food is often not so exquisite, but the portions are much more substantial. Unlike French food, which is carefully seasoned, Italian food focuses on maintaining the original taste.

    In Italy, when eating at the host¡¯s house, you usually have to prepare each dish.You have to taste it. If you eat too much first and don't eat later, then the host will think that his food is not to your taste, which is also very rude.  So in order to avoid being too full later in the meal, looking at the knife and fork is a skill that needs to be paid attention to.

    Jonas relies on the original memory of this body to understand these things, so he can hardly be rude.  From the cold cuts, to the main courses, to the desserts, different knives and forks, different wine glasses, and different wines were changed every time, and there was a butler serving him specially. Jonas also seemed to be at ease with the old god.

    Unlike France, Italians always like to chat at the dinner table. In addition to talking about business with Gianmarco, football with Massimo, and politics with Letizia, Jonas occasionally takes care of Ivanka¡¯s feelings.  The performance was effortless.

    Milly, who has always liked to confront her sister-in-law, listened to Jonas and Letizia chatting about Italy's economic situation, and was pessimistic about Italy's economic development.  I couldn't help but say proudly: "The current bad economic situation is mainly responsible for the existing government. If Berlusconi can divert a little more of his energy from his company and women to government work, the economic situation will be better."  It won¡¯t be as bad as it is now. Although the unemployment rate in the Milan area is still controlled at around 5%, in the southern region, the unemployment rate is approaching 10%.¡±

    Letizia is a cabinet member of the current government and it is difficult to express her position on this. Moreover, she also knows that her sister-in-law has always been jealous of her.  But no matter in terms of beauty, or in terms of IQ, social interaction, and how to deal with others.  She was far beyond her, never seeing her as a real threat to herself.  She just smiled at this.  Asked: "Changes in the economic situation are a reflection of the overall situation in society and cannot be reversed by any one person's ability. Does Milly have any advice?"

    Milly was speechless.  The Moratti family seems to be accustomed to this.  Pretending not to hear, they all continued chatting and eating.  Jonas smiled and said: "I saw a news in the Milan newspaper the day before yesterday, saying that many unions are preparing to organize a strike action and want to adjust the 40-hour work week to 36 hours. I don't know the responsibility of these unions  What do people think? But in my opinion, this is the stupidest behavior. The economy of a country can only be revitalized by the efforts of everyone. On the one hand, it is a decline in economic benefits, and on the other hand, it is dragging down economic development.  retreat, there is nothing anyone can do about this situation. In my opinion, the Italian people are living too comfortably. They should be allowed to go to China. The people there can work hard 70 hours a week, and the pay is only two or three dollars.  One hundred euros. According to the laziness of Italians, this is almost impossible to accept, but the people there are very satisfied.¡±

    Letizia nodded and said: "China is already an open market, but the people there are still struggling for the revitalization of the country. In comparison, our high welfare only makes the people more lazy."

    "That is the pressure of the Chinese dictatorship government"

    Jonas said: "There is no coercion. Perhaps the Chinese government's one-party rule will cause the people to lose some democracy, but it will be able to implement the government's actions better. I don't want to talk about the pros and cons of the political system. I just want to say that the people may not be able to  Hope is pinned on the government.¡±

    Massimo asked: "Are you saying that you can't be too tolerant to the people?"

    "This is your understanding." Jonas was cunning.  He said with a smile: "Mr. Massimo treats all the players as his own children, giving them meticulous care and high income, but what did he get in exchange?"

    Massimo was stunned for a moment and fell silent.  Gianmarco said: "Massimo, I have never objected to your investment in Inter Milan, but you are too emotional. Love cannot represent everything. Let Facchetti take charge of Inter Milan. At least, order must be re-established.  "Although he didn't say it clearly, the implication was that Massimo's management skills were not good.

    Ivanka deliberately changed the subject, "Roberta, when can we visit Armani? I am very curious about Armani, but I don't have enough time."

    Of course, Roberta understood what Ivanka meant and said happily: "Any time, even if we set off now, I can guarantee that you can see everything you want to see."

    Ivanka nodded with a smile and said: "Tonight's dinner was so sumptuous that I fully enjoyed the charm of Italian food. But in order to maintain my figure, I have to regretfully tell everyone that I have eaten well."

    Milly was very happy that Ivanka was able to save her husband. She smiled and said: "It is the honor of our Moratti family to be praised by Miss Trump. There are many nightclubs in Milan that are worth visiting. It is appropriate to  Exercise is enough to burn off excess calories.¡±

    Ivanka looked atJonas smiled and said: "Jonas, what do you think?"

    Jonas said: "Although rich food brings us wonderful enjoyment, it also brings the trouble of overnutrition. I am very happy to accompany you."

    Ivanka smiled proudly, and Giovanni interjected from the side.  "I am happy to serve as a guide and show you the flavor of Milan."

    Gianmarco smiled and said: "Then you young people go and enjoy your night together. I hope you can have fun."

    Jonas smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your warm hospitality tonight. I look forward to communicating with you again in Switzerland. If you arrive early, I will personally cook and entertain you with delicious Chinese food."

    Gianmarco smiled and said: "What you said makes me look forward to meeting you in two months."

    Ivanka smiled and said: "Jonas's Chinese food is very delicious, but it's a pity that he refuses to cook easily. I will not be disappointed, sir. It's a pity that my cooking skills are really not good, but if you go to New York  , and I will do my best to make you feel at home.¡±

    Roberta smiled and said: "I have always been curious about what your palace on the 68th floor of Fifth Avenue looks like. Every girl has a princess dream, but only you seem to have completely realized it."

    Jonas turned to Massimo and said: "Sir, there is no need to be depressed. Inter Milan is a great club. I believe that one day it will be revitalized, and this day will come soon." He winked.  He smiled and said: "To prove that I am not talking nonsense, I am happy to invest in Inter Milan. The specific share is completely decided by you."

    Massimo was stunned and said: "Actually, we are not short of funds now."

    Jonas smiled and said: "This is just a proposal to prove my confidence in Inter Milan. With the support of the Moratti family and Tronchetti's strong funds, Inter Milan will take off."

    Except for the old Moratti brothers, the young people all went together to Milan to enjoy a night that belonged to them.  Watching the motorcade leave and her husband still looking in the direction of the motorcade, Letizia asked: "Marco, what are you thinking about?"

    Gianmarco asked Capital¡¯s wife and brother: ¡°What do you think of this young man?¡±

    Letizia said: "She is very calm, very shrewd, and very knowledgeable."

    Massimo said: "Facing him, I actually thought of our father. He seemed to be full of confidence and believed that everything was in his own hands. I don't know where his confidence came from, but I felt,  He's right."

    Milly also said: "There seems to be a feeling of a wise man."

    Gianmarco said: "This is a friend that our Moratti family should value. I am very sorry that our family does not have a descendant like this." (To be continued.)
