With a satisfied smile, Luke took the wine glass to leave and went to other social circles. Seeing Luke leave, Jiang Chen originally thought that he would relax, but he obviously whispered his attractiveness, or the attractiveness of the Future Group to investors.
The sight or glance that fell on him, or indifference, or jealousy, or admiration ... but only did not ignore it.
As a newcomer to this banquet, and still the chairman of the Future Group, who has a pivotal position in the Internet field, no matter what the purpose is, there are many people who are happy to say hello to Jiang Chen and exchange business cards. . Regardless of whether cooperation can be reached, no one will think too many friends, will they?
So, in the next two hours, Jiang Chen was almost struggling with the following social rhetoric.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, I am very pleased to meet you. Here is my business card ... If you need to deal with M & A business in the future, please be sure to contact our bank." said a banker.
"Mr. Jiang, do n’t you know that you are interested in financing? Do n’t rush to refuse, hehe. If you have future capital turnover problems or have major investment projects, please contact us!" Someone looked at Jiang Chen's Wall Street investor with the general look of the vault, and said vowedly.
"Is this your first time in Germany? If you have time, I am very happy to show you this beautiful country." Someone has a star face with some familiar faces, but Jiang Chen cannot call out. The lady from the name said with a smile.
......
However, in two hours, the not-so-spacious pocket on his dress was full of various business cards. And the pile of bronzing business cards prepared on him were almost sent out.
When dealing with these enthusiastic guests, Jiang Chen ’s eyes have been deliberately or unintentionally drifting towards the luxury cuisines such as foie gras and Marseille fish soup. But what made him helpless was that until the melodious violin sound in the venue was replaced by the waltz of the waltz, and ladies and gentlemen joined hands to the round dance floor, he could be considered to get rid of those enthusiastic big men.
However, at this time, the staple food of the long table has been replaced with sweet and greasy desserts ...
Come out of the meeting place, the cool breeze blowing on the face reduced a little dryness, perhaps breathing too much carbon dioxide, Jiang Chen always felt that the air blowing from the pine forest was particularly fresh.
Carmen disappeared after the final speech, and Jiang Chen did not wait for him. After the curtain call at the party, the passenger flow with the fish came out. After all, the two just nodded, and the majority of the partners are probably not friends.
Because he wanted to stay outside for a while, Jiang Chen deliberately detoured a long way and walked along the gravel road beside the pine forest.
The shadow was pulling down on the street lamp. Jiang Chen turned over and looked at the stack of business cards in his hand. Before throwing it into the storage space, he hopes to classify these business cards into at least first categories, and he will have to turn it over half a day before using it.
But the only thing that makes him feel a little useful is only two business cards.
One is by Luke Joyce, and the other belongs to the space-x boss, Elon Musk.
Jiang Chen never expected that he would meet this guy here. The middle-aged brown-haired man had a very sunny smile on his face when shaking hands with Jiang Chen. He apparently heard about the rumor that Jiang Chen acquired the aerospace company to enter the space field, but for this strong competitor, he did not show an opposing attitude, but instead expressed the hope that he can cooperate with the future people group in the space field. To jointly achieve the great and unreachable strategic goal of colonizing Mars.
Although in Jiang Chen ’s eyes, this goal is not so out of reach ...
In short, Jiang Chen still keeps this business card. Maybe he will really cooperate with space-X in the aerospace field in the future.
Just halfway through Jiang Chen's stomach, his stomach cried out.
"Sure enough, I'm still a bit hungry ... Forget it, wait for it to go back and get some food." Jiang Chen sighed.
But at this moment, the tip of his nose was a scent of oil roasting through the barbecue.
Looking in the direction of the wind, in the depths of the pine forest beside the path, Jiang Chenyin peeked into a ray of bonfire.
The smell of the barbecue seems to come from there, but who is it, at this time, will fire the barbecue in the woods of the Rothschild Manor?
Carmen is naturally impossible. He now estimates that he is busy with the party.
"Is it the Rothschild servant?" Jiang Chen said to himself.
For some reason, he remembered the old man he saw in the morning, the old man who built a boat in front of the lake house.
Due to curiosity, Jiang Chen walked towards the direction of the fire.
Yellow and soft pine needles were spread on the mud floor, and they stepped on with a little hoarse noise. The woods are very cool and quiet, unlike the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall.
Wait for enough time later, buy a house like this and stay away.
For some reason, such thoughts suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's brain. But soon he smiled and shook his head, denying the idea.
He is still young, and if there is no accident, he can continue to be young. It's a shame to happily dash for more than a hundred years, it is really ashamed of his identity as a traverser.
"Charcoal roast leg of lamb, you have a good time."
Maybe it was Jiang Chen ’s arrival, and the old man did n’t look back and grinned at the fire and said.
Standing beside the old man, Jiang Chen glanced at the dried pine needles on the ground.
"Are n’t you afraid of fire?"
"Can't burn."
Perhaps out of self-confidence in barbecue skills, the old man ’s dry mouth gently groaned a confident gully.
"Can I share one? Of course, I will pay." Looking at the golden leg of lamb, Jiang Chen's appetite was also hooked up and could not help saying.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the old man turned around, and his muddy eyes glowed like black pearls in the jumping fire. Jiang Chen couldn't tell what it was like. The sight was like a hunter, but he was not looking at the antelope.
"If you want to eat, just sit next to me, and you don't need money." After leaving this sentence, the old man turned around.
Looking at the dirt mixed with pine needles, Jiang Chen hesitated slightly for two seconds, but sat cross-legged next to the old man.
About five minutes, the aroma is strong. The old man skillfully sprinkled cumin and salt on the lamb leg on the grill, and then took out the knife. The white light shook twice, he will pick the knife He handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Try it."
Hanging the tip of the knife to his mouth hesitantly, Jiang Chen blew, and then bit his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How does it taste?" the old man smiled.
"It's awesome." Returning the knife to the old man, Jiang Chen wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and did not mean to praise the word.
The old man grinned and did not say anything about Jiang Chen ’s praise, but cut a large piece from the leg of lamb again and handed it to him. Then he took the spare knife and a jug of wine from the bag.
"I have taught you how to cut meat, and now you can try it yourself." The old man said with a sip.
Jiang Chen, who had a belly full of champagne, declined the wine from the old man, just happily enjoying the leg of lamb. The two were sitting in the forest like this, no extra words, just enjoying the delicious barbecue in silence.
"Speaking of it, I seemed to have seen you by the lake in the morning." Jiang Chen said suddenly.
"Oh. I was logging." The old man grinned.
"That boat, did you build it?" Jiang Chen asked the roast while chatting while chewing.
"The Galen boat, from the keel to the sail, is all done by myself." There was a proud smile on the old man's face, as if he was showing off a very remarkable thing.
It's amazing, even in the eyes of Jiang Chen, a layman.
"Don't the people of the Rothschild family help you?" At this point, Jiang Chen had realized that the old man's status in the Rothschild family must be unusual. It is certainly impossible to be able to fire barbecues in the woods of the manor if it is a normal servant.
But looking at the old man's untrimmed attire, Jiang Chen can hardly associate him with the Rothschild family. Judging from Carmen's feelings alone, people in this family should pay attention to appearance and self-cultivation.
"I told them not to help." The old man said with a smile.
"Sorry, are you?"
When Jiang Chen asked his name, the old man grinned and wiped the greasy knife.
"Yako Rothschild."
"... This is a real name."
When Rothschild took over as the head of the family, when investigating this financial family, Jiang Chen still investigated the name. The legendary legend who led the Rothschilds out of the bleak haze of World War II, but history describes him only in a few words.
Even if he passed on the position of homeowner to his younger brother and lived a reclusive life in a Bavarian manor, it was only an understatement in the panel of financial news.
"That's right, so I don't use this name much after I retire." Yakono said lightly.
"Which name do you use?"
"Paris." The stubble on the chin shivered, and the firelight of the bonfire reflected the smile of the old man's mouth.
The name sounds familiar, and it seems to belong to a hero in ancient Greek mythology. The prince who was questioned by Zeus who gave the golden apple to him, the one who lit the fuse of the Trojan War.
Jiang Chen wanted to ask why this name was called, but eventually he refrained.
If possible, he does n’t want to be related to that golden apple anymore.
However, the old man spoke first.
"If you got a golden apple, who would you give him to? Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite?"
It's really a difficult question to answer.
Sighing, Jiang Chen squeezed his chin in his hand and thought for a moment.
"This is a difficult question to answer. I almost have power and wealth. I do n’t seem to lack the wisdom and courage to create a heroic path. Maybe I will dedicate it to Aphrodite? In the era, the more power and wealth it means, the farther it is from pure love. And a war in the Cantabile War will not be boring. "
"Hahahaha," Yakono laughed heartily as if he heard something interesting.
The sound of the vicissitudes of time echoed through the pine forest.
Soon after, the pine forest returned to silence again, leaving only the rustling of pine needles moving with the wind.
"An interesting answer. Although the choice is superficial, the reason for the choice is unexpectedly interesting."
Regarding Yakono's evaluation, Jiang Chen just smiled indifferently, and returned the question with a half-joking tone.
"So which **** would you dedicate to? Mr. Paris."
Jacono grinned and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
Under the light of the fire, this smile looks a little stern, or savage.
"No matter who is dedicated to it is hell, of course, keep it by yourself." (To be continued.)
