Chapter 5: Intentional Provocation (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Later that afternoon, as a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit drove into the garage on the first floor, Jonas was standing at the window knowing that his original shadow Yannick had returned.

The Swiss are very low-key, and people like Yannick who buy Rolls-Royce cars can't say no, but there are very few.

For example, the richest man in Europe, IKEA owner Ingvar Camplad, who lives in Switzerland, drives a $20,000 Volvo.

As flamboyant as Yannick is, he is an atypical Swiss.

Zhou Lei will be afraid that the other party will be suspicious and see his changes. And Jonas's heart was even more reluctant to see his father.

But no matter what, he had to face it.

In fact, there is still some excitement in Zhou Lei's emotions, and dealing with strong people is the best way to improve himself.

He used to like to deal with the big guys, and he could learn a lot from them.

He also wanted to see what kind of person this father, who had formed a huge shadow in Jonas's heart, was really like.

He didn't go downstairs on his own initiative, which was not in line with Jonas's character.

There was a commotion downstairs, but it soon fell silent.

After about twenty minutes, Jonas's assistant, Osberg, who also had frequent contacts with Jonas, came to the door of the study.

He knocked on the open study door and smiled, "Jonas, Yannick wants to talk to you. ”

Jonas nodded, picked up a magazine on the table, and stood up.

Picking up a magazine and deliberately pretending to be distracted can effectively disguise your true emotions.

Seeing Jonas get up, Osberg, who had finished his business, changed his relaxed expression and smiled: "When we came back, we heard from Kalisler about your lunch meal, and he succeeded in whetting the appetite of all of us. I wonder if we'll be lucky enough to taste your delicious food in the evening?"

Osberg knew Jonas well, and whenever Jonas had something, he would always call him instead of Yannick.

So Jonas didn't show stubbornness, but nodded gently. "I'm also happy that my food is being admired. ”

Osberg waited for Jonas to come out before he closed the door to his study and said after him, "I remember that your paella was very good, but I didn't know that your Chinese food could also be delicious." ”

"All food is just a grasp of the heat and ingredients, as long as you are proficient in cooking and know the process of cooking, it is basically not unpalatable. ”

Osberg smiled a little flatteringly: "That's also because you have this talent, for us culinary idiots who can't tell the difference between salt and sugar, being able to cook food is already the greatest success." ”

In the large living room on the second floor, Yannick's two bodyguards and Kalisler chatted together, and when they saw Jonas, they both nodded.

Jonas nodded in return. On the other side, Yannick sat alone in the small living room, with a large stack of newspapers in front of him and a copy in his hand.

Osberg followed, and sat down on a sofa a little farther away, not bothering their father and son to talk.

Jonas guessed that Yannick needed him to communicate with him, so he specifically asked him to sit aside.

Seeing Jonas come in, he gestured to the couch opposite. "Sit. Then he put down the newspaper, removed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and placed them directly on top of the newspaper.

Yannick was a handsome man, and Jonas had clearly inherited his genes. However, he is only in his early forties this year, and he seems to have fallen into a baldness crisis, which makes Jonas worry about himself.

Yannick was obviously very relieved to see that Jonas did not hide from his eyes, he glanced at the magazine in Jonas's hand and said, "Are you interested in these movie stars?"

Jonas glanced at the magazine in his hand, and the cover was Brooke Smalls, who was the same age as Jonas. He deliberately didn't look Yannick in the eye and sat down. "Every man is interested in a woman, especially since she is also known as the eighth wonder of the world. ”

Yannick gave a look of contempt. "It's just the media touting that if you beg me, when you have your eighteenth birthday, I will send her to your bed as your adult gift. ”

Jonas paused for a moment, and complained in his heart, what kind of father is this, too fierce!

In the face of his son, he opened his mouth to put the woman to bed with him.

However, he knew that the other party was Brooke Xiaosi, and he dared to say this. This means that he is not only rich, but also powerful, because Brooke Shields is now all over the world, and getting her to bed is not something a small banker can do.

Jonas now realizes that he was really stupid and naΓ―ve before, why didn't he notice these suspicions?

But on the surface, he still deliberately said disdainfully: "For you, women can be exchanged for money, so what about feelings?"

Yannick smiled and did not continue the topic. "I heard from your grandmother that you've made your choice?"

"Yes, I have already decided to choose the Faculty of Economics at the University of Zurich. ”

Yannick shook his head and said, "I don't think it's the wisest choice. Although the Faculty of Economics of the University of Zurich is very advantageous in finance, it is still not as enlightened as the universities in Britain and the United States in terms of commercial banking management......"

"But that's the best fit for Hoffmann Bank. ”

Yannick was not angry that Jonas interrupted him, and added: "This only shows that your vision is not wide enough, you don't stand high enough, and the commercial banking model can create a real financial giant." ”

Jonas certainly knows this, and in fact, two Swiss banks, Union and Credit Suisse, have also been gradually commercialized in the future, wanting to get rid of the label of private banks.

Although they are still the two largest private banks in the world, they are much smaller than the others in terms of overall size.

It was only after the new century that they gradually caught up and entered the ranks of the big banks, but they still ranked outside the top 20.

But the topic was too big for Jonas, and he didn't have much interest in doing financial services.

Financial management requires careful thinking, patience, and calmness and consistent prudence.

It's different to do an oil business, you can do a business for a few months, or even years.

"Dad, that's your life, not my ......"

Yannick's lips moved, then closed, a little speechless. Indeed, no matter how much he said, Jonas was unwilling to do it, and he could not replace Jonas.

Osberg apparently rarely saw Yannick deflated, and couldn't help but smile.

"Well, it's your life, and obviously my life experience doesn't shape your choices at this time. So, is this your chosen choice after careful consideration?"

"Yes. ”

Yannick nodded, and added, "I'm glad it's not the worst option. So, do you need my help applying for admission?"

Jonas did not directly refuse. "Not for the time being, I am confident that I will get a letter from the University of Zurich. ”

The University of Zurich and the Zurich Institute of Technology are equivalent to Peking University in Switzerland, Qinghua, and even more close.

Although the University of Zurich is known for its difficulty in getting in and out, students who graduate from Ross College, not to mention the University of Zurich, Harvard, and Oxford will be robbed.

Because these students not only have a wealth of knowledge accumulation, but also have a considerable range of social resources, which no university will ignore.

Yannick is well aware of this, and he also knows that Jonas is not bad at school, and although he is not very active in social activities, he never lags behind.

In addition, he is outstanding in sports and has many hobbies, so it is not difficult to get the admission letter on his own.

"Okay, now let's talk about your relationship with Stephanie. ”

This time, Jonas was a little embarrassed. He deliberately showed an expression of reluctance to mention it to hide this embarrassment, and said: "There is nothing to say, it's all over." ”

"I'd be happy if you could really let go. From the beginning, I didn't think you were a good match for Stephanie. She is famously a wild child, rebellious and uninhibited, and you can't possibly satisfy all her fantasies. On the contrary, Christina is very suitable for you, but you don't cherish her well and are seduced by Stephanie. ”

Seeing that Jonas didn't want to listen, Yannick said in a different tone: "Of course, this is a stage that a person must go through on the road of life, and only if he has lost it, can he know how to cherish it in the future." ”

"Dad, I don't want to talk to you about this. ”

Yannick ignored him and continued: "I have received the news that Stephanie is now in some good spirits, but she will not go back to Switzerland to study, and Rainier will send her to Paris for the rest of her studies. ”

"I said I didn't want to talk about it......"

"It's an outcome that you have to accept. Stephanie is in a very bad mental state, and although breaking up with you was her decision in a depressed state, you are already separated. Grand Duke Rainier spoke to me on the phone, and he didn't want Stephanie to have another emotional breakdown because of you. ”

"Is this an ultimatum?"

You can understand it this way. As if this was too blunt, Yannick added: "You see, for us, women should never be the source of trouble. Ninety-nine percent of women in this world will succumb to power and money, and it is never a question of what kind of woman you want. So, stop worrying about feelings, it's stupid. ”

"And what about the remaining 0.1 percent?"

"It's just a metaphor......"

Yannick was a little angry, and Jonas used to be submissive, or simply unreasonable with him. This is the first time he has been able to grasp the loopholes in the topic, and he wants to be angry directly.

Jonas stood up and said, "If you don't want to go hungry at night, I want to cook." ”

"That's not the point......"

"Yes, I've also been wondering what makes you so arrogant, as if you are God. ”

Yannick was a little speechless again, if it was someone else in front of him, he had a thousand ways to deal with him. But the person in front of him is his own son, what can he do? Will he use force to make the other party submit?

He waved his hand irritably, like a fly away. "Let's go make dinner......"

Jonas turned and went into the kitchen in a happy mood, and for the first time he had the upper hand in front of Yannick, much to his delight. Although he is opportunistic, using the identity of his son to make Yannick a mouse.

Osberg sat down beside Yannick, glanced at Jonas in the kitchen, and smiled, "Jonas has grown up. ”

Yannick pinched the base of his nose, a little distressed. "It's harder to discipline. ”

Osberg laughed: "Maybe it can be another way, why must it be discipline instead of guidance?"

"You also think my education method is wrong?"

"I've never met a father who wants to give a woman to his son. What's more, Jonas is no less charismatic than you, and you've never had two princess girlfriends. ”

"You may be right, Jonas has his own charm, not necessarily me. Yannick shifted. "But he's my son!"
