At half-past four, although it was a sunny day, the sky in Switzerland, located at high latitudes, had already darkened.

Street lights were already lit up in many parts of the city near the lake, and four cars drove along a quiet side road into the Hoffman family's yard.

Although he didn't know who the guests were, Jonas was instructed by Hannah to go with her to the staircase on the first floor of the main house to greet a few guests.

The four cars came to a stop, Yannick was the first to get out of the car, and in the second car came a small but burly middle-aged man with a ridiculous-looking mustache and a very kind smile.

And he got out of the car with a tall, but very thin man, who also looked a few years older than him.

The contrast between the two people, one tall and thin, and the other tall and fat. Jonas's heart unconsciously appeared in Jin Yong's thin head and fat head.

A middle-aged man with glasses, who was not fat or thin, and was not tall, got out of the third car, and seeing his somewhat familiar face, Jonas immediately recalled his identity in his heart.

This familiarity does not come from Jonas, but from Zhou Lei. But after recalling, Jonas didn't remember who he was.

After Yannick got off the first car, a handsome middle-aged man and a somewhat thin middle-aged man got out of the car. They were clearly the guest of honour today, and Yannick treated him with more respect than anyone else.

As for the fourth car, it is a Land Rover off-road vehicle, which in Europe is the car of many bodyguards.

The bodyguards who got out of the car did not come over, but greeted Plov and them intimately.

Jonas and Kostler greeted the guests with Hannah on their hands and on the right.

However, the guests were obviously quicker, and as soon as they got out of the car, they noticed Hannah and walked first.

"Hannah, we meet again. The handsome man who got out of the car with Yannick was obviously not the first time he had seen Hannah, and he hugged Hannah intimately.

Jonas saw his face clearly, his body shook, and asked with a little confusion, "Mr. Macridge?"

Hannah hugged back intimately, "Mark, I'm relieved to see that you're okay." Hearing Jonas's question, she was a little confused. "Jonas, I don't remember you meeting Mark......"

The handsome middle-aged man looked at Jonas and said with a smile, "Hello, Jonas." Yannick often mentions you, and he has always considered you his pride. ”

Jonas's calmness since his rebirth completely collapsed in front of this middle-aged man, his body was stiff, and he couldn't believe that the man standing in front of him was the idol he admired the most in his previous life.

Macridge, this is a very common name, but when the name coincides with this man, it becomes a symbol of the times.

He's not the kind of celebrity who has an international reputation, but in the oil industry, he's the biggest name in the world.

Macridge, who created the crude oil spot trading market, rewrote the world oil trading model, and made oil from the monopoly of the Seven Sisters to a mass commodity.

He was the most controversial international businessman of the 20th century and was known in the industry as the "King of Oil".

He has no homeland, he is mercenary, and as an American, he has made large transactions with Cuba and Iran under the US blockade.

He was one of the top 10 wanted criminals wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice for 17 years, and in his first nine years of being wanted, he was assassinated by the United States more than 100 times, and he saved the day every time.

Because of his friendship with US President Clinton, the CIA stopped assassinating him after Clinton became president. And the day before Clinton stepped down, he relied on his presidential privileges to withdraw his wanted warrant.

He set the highest tax evasion record in U.S. history, with 51 charges punishable by 325 years in prison.

Seventeen years of immortal wanted life, but he was closely protected by the KGB of the Soviet Union and the Mossad of Israel, and lived freely in the Rose Villa on the shores of Lake Lucerne.

Because of the CIA assassination, an Israeli Mossad agent also died to protect him, triggering protests against the United States in many European countries.

He is closely related to agents of various countries, underworlds, money laundering, etc., and is the "godfather" of many organizations such as Mafiya in Russia, and played an important role in the collapse of the former Soviet Union......

The world crude oil market he founded has remained the main model of world oil trading until later generations.

In his previous life, Zhou Lei was engaged in the oil business, and he certainly had enough understanding of this strongman who changed the world by himself.

Before he crossed over, he came to Megan for a trip to see the villa where Macridge once lived.

In 2013, at the age of seventy-eight, Macridge died of illness in Lucerne. Until his death, the Americans had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Lei is a fan of Macridge, and this idol is standing in front of him now.

Jonas didn't know how to express his admiration for him, he didn't even want to hide himself, and said directly: "Mr. Ritchie, you are my idol." ”

Markridge was slightly surprised, but he didn't take Jonas's words to heart, thinking that they were taught by Yannick.

"No, I never wanted to be an idol, shouldn't your idol be a star like Mike Jackson?"

Jonas smiled and didn't speak. The two people's identities are too far apart, and their ages are too far apart. Coupled with his sudden appearance, Jonas didn't even think about what gesture to approach him.

And looking at his relationship with Yannick, even Hannah knows him, which means that there will be an opportunity to meet him again in the future.

Therefore, he does not need to make a fuss and talk about the relationship between them first.

In fact, Hannah looked at Jonas several times, not understanding how her grandson knew about Mark, and regarded him as an idol.

However, this is not a good time to ask.

Yannick led the others to Hannah, and said to everyone, "This is my mother Hannah, the best mother in the world. The two young men were my son Jonas and his friend Kostler. ”

Then he introduced Hannah and said, "Mom, this is Mr. Pincasgreen, who is Mark's partner and now my partner. ”

Pincasgreen, Macridge's best friend and partner, is Macridge's lifelong friend.

Compared to the handsome and dashing Macridge, his appearance is much worse.

Green shook hands with Hannah and hugged Jonas and Kostler, respectively. I can feel it, and his personality is very lively.

This is Michael Steinhart, the world's best equity expert, known as the king of short-term. ”

The stocky man was Steinhardt, his beard was funny, and he couldn't be associated with the king of stock short-term trading.

Jonas didn't know much about him, but his name appeared more than once in college, and he was a big man.

"This is Marvin Davis, an American oil tycoon, and now a big customer of our Hoffman Bank, with 13 million dollars deposited in our bank. ”

Marvin Davis was the tall, skinny man who looked the oldest. He obviously couldn't stand the Swiss cold, and he shivered a little at this time.

Jonas didn't know him, but Zhou Lei in the oil industry knew very well to him, he was originally the owner of the Risto oil company, and after Markridge was wanted, he was ordered by the U.S. Department of Commerce to withdraw from the upstream oil trade because of his close relationship with Rich.

However, he still has oil refineries in Denver and Houston, and he still has a very strong influence in the United States.

When he died in 2004, he still had $4.9 billion in assets.

At this time, Jonas's eyes looked at the last guest, he already knew who the other party was, this familiar face was only a few dozen years younger all of a sudden, so that he didn't remember it at first.

But when today's guests are big people, Jonas thinks of a person who fits his memory in the ranks of big people.

"This is our most honored guest today, Rupert Murdoch, because of a business that made us meet, but now, friendship is more important than business. ”

Sure enough, it was him!

But Jonas was a little confused, and a couple of the guests today, Macridge, Pincasgreen, Marvin Davis, they were in the commodities industry. Steinhardt is in the stock industry and Murdoch is in the journalism industry, how can they come together?

It can also be heard from Yannick's introduction that the first few people are friends and partners, and only one Murdoch is the real guest.

Although there were doubts in his heart, Jonas was not rude, shaking hands with each guest in order, and then not losing courtesy, but not too expressively showing the host's welcome to the guest.

After everyone had saluted, Jonas helped his grandmother and went up the stairs first, and then waited for the guests at the door.

Yannick was the last to wait for all the guests to enter, and then closed the door.

Osberg had already moved into the room, prepared all kinds of teas and coffees for the guests, and put a cup of drink in front of everyone according to their preferences.

The guests should have known about Jonas's existence first, and each of them brought him a small gift, which was given to Jonas himself before taking his seat.

Hannah didn't have a gift, but Jonas had a gift, which made her very happy.

Jonas accepted the gifts in Kostler's envious eyes, waited for a few guests to take their seats, and then politely said, "Yesterday my father put me in charge of today's dinner, and I can only do my best to let everyone taste the oriental food." If it's my craft problem, please forgive me. ”

Pincasgreen smiled, "Yannick has complimented you several times today, even if I don't believe that you are skillful, but I absolutely believe in Yannick's taste. ”

Jonas nodded with a smile and said, "Then please talk with your uncles for a while, and I'll go prepare dinner for everyone." ”
