After about five hours of flight, the plane finally landed at Italy International Airport. As the cabin door opened, a cool breeze suddenly blew up. Obviously, compared to the warm California, Italy at a high latitude is much colder. Fortunately, it is April now, otherwise Zhou Ming would have to come here again with winter clothes.
He took the airport shuttle bus and then took a taxi to Orlando, a county town located on the outskirts of Italy, and it is also the richest and most stable county town in Italy. Zhou Ming was planning to stay here first and make plans after he had a certain understanding of the entire Italy and Wood family.
Zhou Ming chose a Lincoln taxi, which is also a major feature of Italy. Due to some special reasons, and the headquarters of the three major American automakers are all here, Italy's taxi are divided into three levels, namely luxury business and ordinary.
The luxury level is chosen by Zhou Ming. This level of taxis are all luxury brands of Lincoln and Cadillac. The drivers are also white people who have received special training. Not only are they very familiar with the situation of the entire Itali, it can give customers the most direct understanding of the city they are coming. At the same time, they are also very professional. In the high crime rate, Itali is also the safest taxi, and of course the cost is also the highest.
Business is a little worse than luxury. Not only are the models all ordinary brands, but even the drivers are mixed with white and black people. However, these drivers have at least received special training and are affiliated with large taxi companies, so they are still guaranteed in terms of professional ethics and safety.
As for ordinary taxis, it is not so complimenting. Since taxis of this level are all affiliated with small taxi companies, there are a variety of models, even modified cars, and drivers are basically all black people. Although the prices are low, the quality of drivers is uneven. Not to mention professional ethics, sometimes there is no safety guarantee. You have to worry about whether those drivers with tattoos will suddenly take out their guns to rob you.
It is also for this reason that there is a saying in Itley: If you don’t carry a gun, then don’t take an ordinary taxi, otherwise you will be ready to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Therefore, generally speaking, ordinary taxis are the poorest people who are penniless, outsiders who don’t understand the market, or gangsters who are not afraid of anything, and even if they have a little money in their pockets, they will choose higher-end business taxis.
Although Zhou Ming was not afraid of being protected, he had just arrived in Itley and had no idea about the situation here. So it was definitely better to have less things than to have more things. Let’s take a luxury taxi to understand the situation first.
Hello sir, the luxury seat of Brontaya is here to serve you. Where are you going
As soon as he got on the bus, the enthusiasm of the taxi driver in front came to the back. His accent was a bit Eastern European. Fortunately, Zhou Ming had been in Northern Russia and was not unfamiliar with the accent there, otherwise he would have to carefully distinguish his constant rolling tongue.
We are going to the Gross Hotel in Orlando County, please introduce us to Itley. Zhou Ming told him, and at the same time he took out a tip of fifty dollars and handed it to him.
After taking the tip, the smile on his face of the driver named Brontaya suddenly became more sincere. He said to Zhou Ming: Thank you very much for the distinguished guest. I guess it must be your first time to come to Itelly. It is a wise move to choose Orlando, because it is the most luxurious and safe place in Itelly. The Gross Hotel is also a very luxurious five-star hotel. But it would be better if it is the Big Wood Hotel, that is our Itelly no.1.
Is that right? Why is this big Wood hotel good? Is it because it is the property of the Wood family? Zhou Ming asked curiously. His curiosity was not entirely made. In fact, he was really curious.
Unexpectedly, even the Wood family knew about the guests. It seems that you have a certain understanding of Itley. The driver said, yes, this Big Wood hotel is the Wood family's industry. It was said that it was a face-saving project built by the Wood family to entertain other consortiums or family guests. Therefore, the Wood family made the hotel very luxurious. If your financial conditions allow you, I would recommend that you choose the Big Wood Hotel.
It’s still no need, I have already booked the Gross Hotel, so we still go there. Zhou Ming said.
Of course, Zhou Ming cannot go to the Big Wood Hotel. Although Zhou Ming can be sure that the Wood family doesn't know that he has arrived, it would be too blatant if he wants to stay in their family's hotel so openly. He doesn't want to be discovered so early. Not to mention the rest of this Gross Hotel, the most important thing is that there is a joint venture between the Down family, which is obviously much safer in comparison.
Although the driver was a little strange about Zhou Ming's insistence, he didn't say much and continued to drive his car dutifully.
Although I don’t go to the Big Wood Hotel, I have heard of this Wood family. I heard that it is the royal family of Italy, the car kingdom, right? Zhou Ming asked again.
Faced with this problem, the driver immediately became energetic. He said happily: That's right, that's it. This Wood family is the oldest and largest and richest super family in our Italy. Perhaps the Wood family has never had a president or something, but for a hundred years, all the governors have been supported by the Wood family.
In fact, it is not just the governor. From TF Auto to GM, from Lincoln to Cadillac, all auto manufacturers have risen because they have received the support of the Wood family. Therefore, the Wood family has possessed an absolute controlling stake in the three major auto manufacturers. It can be said that over the past century, the three major auto manufacturers have just worked for the Wood family. Whether it is the cars running on the Yitley road or even most cars in the United States, they are broadly from the Wood family.
The driver then said: But if it is a real royal family, holding alone is definitely not possible. In fact, the Wood family also has absolute controlling stake in all of Itley's rubber processing plants, steel instrumentation glass and other material parts industries.
You know, it is impossible to build a house without steel bars and bricks, so now the Wood family has mastered the production of all the auto parts, which is equivalent to snatching the necks of the three major automobile companies. The driver is getting more and more excited. Guest, you know that our Italy is the kingdom of automobiles, a family that can make the three major automobile companies surrender. I can't think of any other title except the royal family.
So that's it. When I came here, I only heard that the Wood family was very powerful, but I didn't expect that it would reach this point. Besides controlling the three major automobile companies, would there be any other impact? Zhou Ming asked again.
The driver thought about this carefully before saying: This is hard to say, because the influence of the Wood family on Itley is in all aspects.
For example, every car produced by the three major automobile companies must pass through the Wood family's logistics company to ship out of Italy. Every new company registered in Italy wants to get venture capital from the Wood family. Without this step, unless you have the support of another large consortium behind you, you are destined to go bankrupt. For example, the Gross Hotel you want to stay in is behind it by the California consortium and the Tangren Bank.
The driver thought about it and said: Or can I tell you something I really encountered, that was at last year's Pan American Auto Expo, where the governor also participated. However, the expo, which was originally scheduled to open at 9:00 in the morning, was finally postponed until twelve noon. This was because the Wood family members who attended the expo were delayed by some things. I think you can understand what I said.
Of course, Zhou Ming can understand it. You should know that the US governor is equivalent to the national provincial party secretary in terms of level.
Now at the expo that the secretary also attended, the expo was postponed for three hours because the members of a certain family had not arrived. Not to mention the influence, at least in the state, it is an absolute authority that no one can provoke.
It is more than two hours from the airport to Orlando. The driver obviously believes that Zhou Ming has a strong interest in the Wood family, so he has been telling Zhou Ming about the Wood family. From the initial history of the Wood family's fortunes to how the Wood family helped the three major automakers to gain a foothold in the world's output products, the drivers said vividly along the way, which is obviously not the first time they have told customers this.
No one knows how much money the Wood family has made in the past hundred years, but I think the Wood family can always stand in Itley because they have been giving back to the society. It is said that the Wood family has invested more than $300 million in charity this year, and this is very rare from helping unemployed workers to women and children and terminally ill patients. The driver said.
Compared to the driver's enthusiasm, Zhou Ming did not say so much along the way. At most, he just said a few more words on asking key questions. For more time, he was still listening to the driver's words.
After more than two hours, Zhou Minghe was finally sent to his destination. The car was parked at the entrance of the Gros Hotel. Looking up, the Gros Hotel had a special style with ancient Greek style. Several large stone pillars that could not be carried by one person stood tall. There was also a Renaissance Michelangelo-style figure and fountain square at the entrance.
Zhou Ming took out a thousand dollars and handed it to the driver, which made the driver, who was originally a little depressed because of the talk, suddenly became energetic again.
He said to Zhou Ming: Hey guest, if you can, I hope you can still remember my contact information, because Itley is not as safe as you think. It is very dangerous in the city, especially in places where nigger activities are frequent, and I can effectively help you stay away from danger.
I got it, but I don't think I need it anymore, thank you very much. Zhou Ming said this to the driver, and then walked into the Gross Hotel with his luggage.
