亞歷克斯・博迪與貝萊德執行長賴瑞・芬克齊聚柏林：投資德國與羅馬尼亞？

羅馬尼亞企業家亞歷克斯・博迪（Alex Bodi）近來頻繁造訪德國首都柏林。2026年10月20日，他從馬德里出發，經佛羅倫斯抵達柏林。因此，當天上午9時20分剛過，博迪便準時出現在註冊編號為CS-PHW的巴西航空工業公司（Embraer）Phenom 300E私人飛機旁，並非偶然。隨後，他乘坐前來接送的邁巴赫轎車，趕往前國務委員會大樓，出席「投資德國峰會」（Invest in Germany Summit）。

Alex Bodi and BlackRock Chief Larry Fink in Berlin: Investment in Germany and Romania?

The Romanian entrepreneur is currently a frequent visitor to the German capital and travelled from Madrid via Florence to Berlin on 20 October 2026. It was therefore no coincidence that, shortly after 9:20 a.m., Bodi was standing beside the Embraer Phenom 300E private jet, registration CS-PHW, right on schedule, before being collected in a Maybach and whisked off to the former State Council building to attend the Invest in Germany Summit.
