Chapter 160 Mustache: Son of the Beach
October 27, Lundan Airport.
A group of people dressed as business elites walked into the departure hall. There were fifteen people, including men and women.
Nicholas, the team leader, wears gold-rimmed glasses, has an elegant temperament, and is meticulous in his suits and leather shoes.
They are the assistants assigned by Auston to Wayne. They do not hold high positions in the company, and they are generally around thirty years old. They have potential but have not yet made their mark.
According to Auston, Wayne can regard these people as his initial team, and if he has other ideas, he can also organize a team of his own.
After waiting for half an hour, the group arrived at the center of the trip.
Wayne walked into the departure hall with his personal secretary Mona, and met Nicholas and his party in front of the exclusive VIP channel.
"Mr. Wayne, I am Nicholas, your assistant to Luzerburg. This is your team." Nicholas stretched out his hand respectfully and paid great attention to Wayne.
Hidden from the gossip, this trip may be destined to be fruitless, but the central figure is suspected to be the illegitimate son of the big boss. This is the first time the other party has gone abroad to discuss business, which is of great significance.
Seeing Wayne Nicholas with his own eyes dispelled his doubts, the gossip was too unreliable, it was clearly a suspected illegitimate child.
These eyebrows, these eyes, and this thick black hair, no matter how you look at it, they are all her own.
My chance to rise to the top has come!
Nicholas only felt that his feet were a little floating, and he straightened his back in a hurry. Now was not the time to drift. He wanted to prove to his new boss that he had the ability to complete the task and manage the team.
"Hello, Mr. Nicholas, I know nothing about business, so I'm going to trouble you and all of you during this trip." Wayne held Nicholas's hand and smiled slightly, neither distant nor intimate.
The standard Auston smile, which he learned at business gatherings.
"Are you kidding? If you don't know anything about business, what's the difference between those of us who call ourselves elites and illiterate people?" Nicholas shook his head repeatedly. Wayne was not only good at business, he was also a master of business. The family he chose when he was born was The best proof.
He was the one who really didn't know how to do business. He made a wrong choice and wasted thirty-five years in vain.
Wayne smiled hoarsely: "How modest, Nicholas, you are a top student who graduated from Jianhe University."
"That's recognition from the school. I haven't been recognized in society yet. I still have a lot to learn from you."
The two exchanged business compliments, with Wayne being condescending and appreciative, and Nicholas belittling himself and looking up to his boss, and they got along very harmoniously.
Afterwards, under the introduction of Nicholas, Wayne shook hands with other members of the team one by one.
"This is Ms. Mona, my personal secretary. When I can't be contacted, all matters can be reported to her." Wayne introduced Mona to everyone.
Because of the contract, Wayne has great trust in Mona, who will not betray him, ranking second only to the housekeeper and the dog.
Aware of Wayne's trust in Mona, Nicholas was particularly envious. It would be great to have a promotion device, and he could get to the top just by lying down.
If he had, he would have been able to come and go easily in the big boss's office.
It's not too late now, he still has business talent, and he believes that he can impress the new boss with his talent and eat the meal on his own.
"Nicholas, tell me about your plan. Sit next to me on the plane. I want to see how your report is prepared."
"Mr. Wayne, our cooperative company in Frank is..."
Nicholas was well prepared and was not afraid of surprise tests. He analyzed his own advantages and disadvantages logically and rigorously, not only in the shopping mall, but also in the border environment where Luzerburg was flanked by the two powerful powers of Frankfurt and Prussia.
Just as he was talking, several men in black dressed as bodyguards came over.
Nicholas thought it was Wayne's bodyguard, and Wayne thought it was Auston's bodyguard arranged for the team, but they didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until a few people got closer and closer without slowing down at all that Mona stepped forward and stood in front of Wayne with a cold face.
Nicholas looked at her in surprise. It turned out that Miss Mona had a full range of functions, not just a secretary.
Several men in black stopped and one of them with a mustache glared at Wayne fiercely and walked away with an arrogant pace.
Wayne: (_)
Again, it’s you again?
Following the failures of trains and cruise ships, this time we changed to airplanes, right?
Not to mention, he is quite motivated!
“Boss, do you know him?”
Mona asked in a low voice, and it was clear that the mustache was full of ill will toward its owner, and it was not an accidental encounter, but it was deliberately directed at him.
"A bad fate..."
Wayne shook his head. After talking to Lily on the cruise ship, he roughly guessed the identity of Mustache.
The contact person is here!
As a Frankish spy, Wayne's scope of activities is only in Lundam. He must report the reasons for leaving. If he leaves without reason, he will be warned, so Mustache came forward.
Take a train to stop a train, take a cruise ship to stop a cruise ship, take a plane to stop a plane...
Mustaches aren’t easy either.
Wayne's impression of Frank's intelligence agency changed drastically, and he admitted that the other party's intelligence capabilities were very powerful, and his informants were spread all over London. Not to mention driving, every time he left Lundan by means of a vehicle that required registration, the other party would show up immediately.
If nothing unexpected happens, Frank's intelligence agency has penetrated Lundan's transportation network.
But there's one thing that Wayne hasn't figured out yet. All cruises and planes are registered in advance. It's understandable that he was caught. Train tickets are outrageous.
He left Lundam that night on an impromptu basis, and Veronica paid for the ticket on the spot, which could have been blocked by a mustache...
Why are you surrendering? With this intelligence capability and execution efficiency, San Dezi can be beaten to death by you guys.
Just to create a joke and make everyone happy?
"Boss, do you want to teach him a lesson? The way he looks at you makes me very disgusted." Mona was very unhappy.
She didn't know what the grudge was between Wayne and Mustache. She only knew that Wayne couldn't be wrong, only Mustache was wrong.
"Don't pay attention to him...well, that's good."
Wayne was planning to just go there. After thinking about it for a while, he said with a bad taste: "Mona, go find the airport police. I know that group. The leader mustache is a robber. He has escaped from prison twice. Let the police check it out." Check, we will definitely find his wanted warrant.”
Mona nodded and walked quickly towards the airport police office.
"Nicholas, keep talking, I'm listening."
Ten minutes later, Mona returned. Twenty minutes later, there was a commotion in the corner of the terminal hall, and several men in black were escorted away by police officers.
Mouth is fragrant.
Wayne didn't hear much clearly. He only heard the other party shouting "Son of the Beach", which should be praising freedom.
The beach represents freedom, and the children of the beach are the children of freedom. If you praise a person for having a free soul, you should call him a child of the beach. There is nothing wrong with that.
…
The group boarded the private jet through the VIP channel.
These days, the concept of private jets has not become popular. The main reason is that airlines do not produce high-end private jets, and there is no comparison, which cannot stimulate the consumption desire of the rich.
Several companies controlled by the Landau Group do have private jets for business use. If you tell them Alston's name, you can apply for a route on the same day.
However, the environment of the passenger plane is very ordinary. Due to the current industrial level, it is not only bumpy, but also noisy and smelly, and there is no comfort at all.
Wayne suspected that Lao Deng didn't want to go abroad, and ninety-nine times it was related to the poor flight attendant environment.
On the plane, Nicholas sat across from Wayne as requested and talked about several difficulties of the trip.
The first is the quotation, in which Murphy Mining, a partner of Landau Group, does not have an advantage.
If we can negotiate an order, we can then use this large order to seek cooperation with other mining companies, buy it at a lower price, and make a profit from the resale price. This can reduce the price a lot in the future. The key is that the initial quotation cannot be suppressed.
In comparison, the Boswell family's partners had no such concerns, kept their prices very low, and easily passed the first two rounds.
But the Boswell family is unlikely to succeed. Several mining companies in Prussia have geographical advantages and can save a lot of costs in transportation alone, so they will definitely advance to the final round of offers.
Luzerburg's geographical location is too bad. It is sandwiched between two major military powers. It has insufficient physical strength and poor military strength.
Natural resources are poor, the market is small, and the economy is highly dependent on foreign countries. It dare not offend Frank, let alone Prussia.
At the Four Nations Summit in September, any fool could see that the Prussian soldiers had strong horses, money and cannons, but she was the only one who could walk sideways, and everyone else had to give way.
"This tender is not only to impress the Albeid Steel Company, but also to convince the Luzerburg authorities and even the current Grand Duke of Charlotte."
Nicholas analyzed: "But this is not enough. Convincing the authorities can only prevent Luzerburg from swinging around. The final result depends on the price."
Wayne frowned and listened. He had already gone through the general documents and was at a loss. For this reason, he specifically asked Auston if he had a good way to break the situation.
That day, Auston had gauze wrapped around his head, trying to save others by himself. Wayne knew that he was trying to gain sympathy by deceiving others, so he didn't ask about the other person's injuries.
Auston didn't mention that he saw Wayne from a high position during the flight. He flew even further, laughing at every step he took. In the end, he only lost face by ridiculing him.
Closer to home, Auston has no way to break the situation. The Landau family has limited political influence in Luzerburg and cannot control this tender. Failure is inevitable. He just wants Wayne to taste the bitterness of failure.
It’s hard to say whether there are personal grudges or not. According to Auston, this is a necessary tempering.
Wayne knew that there was actually no way out. If the Landau family and the Boswell family joined forces and everyone could make money together, they would be 50% sure to win with the price advantage when the Luzerburg authorities pretended to be dead. Order.
Steelmaking requires coal. Cheap and high-quality coal can reduce costs. Businessmen are only interested in profit. Luzerburg used this reason. Even if the Prussian mining company failed, it would be difficult to get angry.
"The Boswell family..."
Wayne's eyelids jumped and he suspected that Lao Deng did it on purpose.
First tell him that the Boswell family wants to steal the meat from his bowl, and then assign him a task that is bound to fail. If he doesn't want to fail, he must learn to be patient and cooperate with the Boswell family.
"Then I would rather fail. As long as it can hurt others, there is nothing wrong with not benefiting myself."
Wayne muttered softly, unable to stand the bad smell in the air, and asked Mona, the body sachet, to come closer.
"Mr. Wayne, are you planning to cooperate with Boswell Mining Company?" Nicholas' gold-rimmed glasses lit up. This is indeed a good idea.
"Besides, they are business competitors, and they can't change their big strategy just because of a small profit." Wayne shook his head slightly. Auston looked up to him. He only had so much respect. He would rather not make money than let Boswell The Er family loses money.

Grand Duchy of Luzère, city of Luzère, airport.
The group left the airport with their luggage and boarded the long-awaited special car. God was so kind that they were not delayed at the airport for three days.
Luzelburg is a small country with rich people and a suitable climate. In addition to being a pocket kingdom, it is also known as the country of a thousand castles because of the many ancient castles in its territory.
The capital city of Luzère is divided into two parts by the Grand Canyon. It has magnificent scenery and many tourist attractions worth checking out.
The army also likes to check in here. Every time there is a war, this place will be occupied by the enemy at the speed of light.
If you ask, you are weak. If you resist, you can't resist. Simply raising your hands and surrendering can still ensure the safety of the people.
Speaking of which, the flag of Luzerburg is very similar to the one next door. They are both tricolor flags, cut along the dotted line, with white in the middle.
The special car stopped at the Capital Hotel, and Wayne met Frank's partner, who rented out a floor to entertain the team and specially prepared a presidential suite of this era.
Said to be a partner, it was actually a company invested overseas by the Landau family. The original purpose was to plunder the resources of other countries. However, the Franks were unethical and the nature of the company gradually deviated from the original intention.
Auston recovered the cost and didn't care about it. Every chess piece has its use. Even if it is disobedient, it can still mobilize the opponent's interests.
For example, this time, both Frank and Prussia wanted to make money from Luzerburg. If they made money, the other party could not, which was equivalent to winning twice in one business trip.
In the current environment, capitalists must have national borders, otherwise their factories will not be able to protect themselves if the other side comes over.
Returning to the topic, Wayne met with his partner. The latter tried his best to encourage several friendly businessmen to join forces. They represented Frank's interests. As long as they could drive away Prussia, they would do anything without making money.
Wayne had a headache when he heard that the list of business partners included the Boswell family.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I just got off the plane and my head is still a little dizzy."
Wayne did not agree on the spot, bid farewell to his partners, and returned to the presidential suite alone. Before closing the door, he saw Mona walking in with her luggage.
"What are you doing here?"
"Boss, this suite has more than one bedroom, and I live here too." Mona looked aggrieved. This was the arrangement. What could she do, but she couldn't sleep in the corridor.
If you hadn't been laughing all the time, I would have believed it.
"Choose a room by yourself. Don't harass me at night, and don't compete with me for the shower room."
Wayne tightened his collar and weighed the value of force. If the opponent launched a blitzkrieg, he had strong national strength and the ability to prolong a protracted war.
In the dead of winter, when the enemy's momentum was exhausted, he launched a counterattack, and the horn of charge could blow all the way to the enemy's capital.
It's not easy to fight after that.
As we all know, street fighting around the capital has always been a tough fight.
Enemy troops fight with their backs against the wall and are unable to retreat, so they often bite them to death in order to perish together.
"Mona, has the Pope's emissary been contacted?"
Wayne simply packed his luggage, checked the time, and went out to taste local specialties downstairs.
It is said that the food in Luzerburg is good, it is Frankish cuisine!
"The code has been released. We can meet tomorrow night." Mona followed Wayne and whispered the code.
The people on the other side are all ready, just waiting for the meeting tomorrow night to give the angel a surprise.
When the two of them entered the restaurant, they saw a team. It was a very strange team. There were more than 20 men and women of all ages.
Wayne ignored the man opposite him. He was from Windsor, and paying attention to men would be misunderstood.
I only saw the graceful leader of the team. Her black veil blocked half of her face under the bridge of her nose. Her eyes were as clear as water. Only half of her face was exposed and she was absolutely beautiful.
When the group of people passed by, Wayne stopped and looked back.
The view is blocked.
"Mona, what are you doing?"
"Boss, I'm hungry."
"You are hungry and looking for something to eat. Why are you looking for me..."
Wayne rolled his eyes and raised his chin at the leaving group: "Is it them?"
"No, they didn't stay at this hotel."
