It was six o 'clock in the morning in Germany.
In the busy Berlin airport, a batch of international flights from Hua Xia arrived one after another.
The first three flights were for both passengers and cargo, while the last twelve were for cargo. These large planes were lined up in the cargo parking area.
At seven o 'clock in the morning, more than thirty Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks gathered in the cargo area. These heavy trucks were responsible for transporting the construction materials delivered by Monster Industries. In order to transport the construction materials to the major cities in Germany faster, there were similar cargo flights arriving in large cities such as Hamburg, Stuttgart, Luxembourg, and Munich.
At this time, there were only two days before the second-generation magic crystal phone conference.
The conference was set at two o 'clock in the afternoon, so the phones would be sold at the same time. It was eight o' clock in the morning in Europe, just enough to take into account the daily schedules of the residents of the two continents.
It was a little cold in Berlin today. The temperature was below zero, and there was a little fog in the airport. More than two hundred people from Monster Industries were wearing orange down overalls. Even Ye Qing was wearing one. The cold air made Ye Qing, who hadn't slept all night, feel refreshed. At the same time, it made the German team, who were dressed in suits and leather shoes, shiver.
When the two sides met, they naturally greeted each other as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Originally, the time spent chatting outdoors wouldn't be long, and the German team in charge of the reception didn't want to stay any longer. But just as the two sides were about to go to the VIP reception hall to enjoy the air conditioning, the sound of leather shoes running could be heard in the thin fog. Before the people arrived, the flashing lights arrived first.
There was no doubt that this group of people were reporters. The German team wasn't too surprised to see this group of reporters.
Ye Qing adjusted his down collar. He didn't want to be recognized. Otherwise, there would be a barrage of questions from the reporters.
"Mr. St. Clair, as the Deputy Minister of the German Ministry of Economic Affairs, why did you personally come to the airport to greet the Monster Industries delegation?"
"Mr. St. Clair, do you also believe that Monster Industries can build thirty-one official flagship stores in Germany within a day?"
"Mr. St. Clair, since you're here in person, is it because you've reached some secret cooperation project with Monster Industries? There is a rumor that Germany will introduce a high-tech individual armor from the Giant Beast Industry. Is this a technical cooperation or a one-sided product introduction? "
This group of reporters disappointed Ye Qing. After they rushed here, they recognized the leader of the German team at first glance.
This was a heavyweight, so the reporters naturally caught St. Clair and bombarded him with questions.
"Everyone, please be quiet." St. Clair, who was in his sixties and whose hair had completely turned silver, said loudly to the reporters, "Monster Industries is our guest from afar. I'm here to bear witness to the successful cooperation between Germany and Monster Industries. This cooperation has nothing to do with the Phantom Armor. If you would like to ask any questions, please come to the VIP lounge after our meeting. I will ask my assistant to arrange ten minutes of questioning time. "
After St. Clair ordered them to leave, the reporters swarmed over to Monster Industries.
The two hundred uniformed employees made it difficult for them to distinguish who was the boss. They simply grabbed the Construction Department Manager, Wu Xiaofan, who was standing in the front row.
"Excuse me, sir. Now we're all discussing how Monster Industries plans to complete the construction of thirty-one flagship stores in Germany in one day." A reporter holding a ZDF microphone in his hand asked, "I'm sorry, sir. We've thought about all the possibilities, but we can't guess your plan."
"Excuse me, you proposed to build the flagship stores before the release of the magic crystal phone. Is it an advertising concept, or is there a cooperation plan with Hua Xia and other mobile phone manufacturers in Germany? When the time comes, you will set up the product counters in the flagship stores of other mobile phone manufacturers?"
"Can you give us some scientific basis?"
"You'll know the answer in two days." Wu Xiaofan smiled and replied in fluent English. His smile made the reporters have the urge to hit him.
Monster Industries had more than a dozen planes, and it was said that there were also planes in other cities. But most of the goods on these planes were in the structure of the elongated container. The entire container was painted milky white. From the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary container. At most, the shell was brighter and had a more metallic texture.
The rest of the equipment that wasn't packed looked very advanced.
But this was Germany, a highly developed industrial country that was mechanized to the point that there were fully automatic mechanical equipment for digging trees, picking fruits, paving roads, and building walls.
There were only two days left, but Monster Industries had only just transported the people and equipment to the airport today. The following construction would take at most one day. With the equipment at the airport, if it weren't for their identities, the reporters would have jumped up and scolded them.
…
The reporters had identity concerns, but ordinary people didn't.
After a few hours of greeting with the German reception staff in the VIP lounge and breakfast, all the equipment brought by Monster Industries was loaded onto Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks at the cargo parking area with the help of professional transportation equipment.
According to the plan, thirty-one flagship stores would be built in Germany, and a total of seven flagship stores would be built in Berlin.
These seven flagship stores would be distributed in various locations in Berlin. Among them, the location across Friedrichstraße was the most prime.
Friedrichstraße was one of Berlin's most prosperous commercial districts. Its status in Berlin was equivalent to Jinling Road in Shanghai and Wangfujing in Yanjing. If you wanted to open a flagship store in this area, money alone wasn't enough.
You also had to be patient enough to wait for a company in this district to want to withdraw for some reason. At the same time, every inch of land here had an owner, and every tree was labeled. Latecomers could rent a store, but if they wanted to become the owner of this land, they might as well buy a lottery.
It was a coincidence that the Germans were able to get a piece of land across Friedrichstraße.
Although that piece of land wasn't in the core circle of Friedrichstraße, it was still the best piece of land outside the circle. It was originally the land of the famous DM Group in Germany, and DM's earliest supermarket shopping center in Berlin was built on it.
It was also because it was early that DM Group felt that it wasn't worth it to open a supermarket shopping center on that piece of land. They planned to build four new flagship stores with luxury brands on that piece of land with a total area of 5,000 square meters. These four luxury brands were all from France, and the relevant cooperation plans had already been negotiated.
The old supermarket was demolished by DM Group as quickly as possible. When all the ruins were cleared, the construction crew planned to enter the site to build a flagship luxury shopping center that cost an inch of gold. However, they were set up by the Berlin City Council.
In fact, it couldn't be said that they were set up. DM Group was so famous that the Berlin City Council had nothing better to do than to set them up.
The two sides were in a cooperative relationship. The Berlin City Council wanted to take one of the four buildings that had already been planned. They agreed that DM Group would add two extra stories to the other three buildings as compensation. They would take this one down and buy it at market price.
Everyone was happy. This piece of land was sold by the Germans to Monster Industries at cost price. It was suspected that they were trying to curry favor.
At noon local time, three Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks rented by Monster Industries and two buses for transporting staff roared into the outer lane of Friedrichstraße.
The three Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks were printed with the unique giant beast logo of Monster Industries.
In front of and behind the convoy, there were not only four mounted police officers in charge of clearing the road. There were also more than 20 media news interview vehicles cruising behind like sharks that had smelled blood.
Today, they would like to see what kind of ability the Monster Industry has to build a flagship store in one day.
Friedrichstraße was Berlin's busiest commercial district, and it was after work time.
The entire Friedrichstraße was in an uproar.
The reporters had status concerns, but ordinary people didn't. The ordinary people didn't mind. As they went to watch the show, they used words such as "psycho," "God save this stupid company," "Not to mention a day, we Germans can't do it in a month," and other "praise" words.
