Chapter 210: The Emperor

As we enter November, Switzerland has experienced three heavy snowfalls in a row.

However, at the time of the heavy snowfall, the house belonging to Plov has been built, and even the heavy snow cannot hinder the interior decoration.

The two-storey house has four bedrooms, is connected to natural gas and has underfloor heating.

Because the house is not large, natural gas underfloor heating is enough to ensure the heating of the room, so no fireplace was built.

Prov also took his family from Kazan in the Russian Tatar Republic to Switzerland.

He was joined by his wife and two children, as well as a younger sister who had just graduated from college.

His parents and brother were denied immigration by the Soviet government because they did not meet the immigration policy. In Jonas's opinion, this is a condition on which the Russian government is unwilling to lose the condition that binds Plov.

As long as his parents and brothers remained in the Soviet Union, he could not have sided with the government.

When the family arrived at the Hoffmann estate in the car that picked them up from Kalisler, Jonas and Yankel greeted the family personally.

Since you want to win people's hearts, you must start from the details. What's more, Plov is really equivalent to saving Jonas's life this time, and it is worth Jonas for them to do so.

Although Plov is ugly, he has a very beautiful wife. This busty Russian woman, who was originally an accountant at a lumber mill and could only speak simple English, came to the Hoffman estate and looked particularly reserved.

His sister is a rugged Russian girl with a square face and a neutral beauty, but she is not Jonas's dish.

"Jonas, this is my wife Anna and sister Milja. ”

Jonas shook their hands and said in English, "Welcome, you can make this your home in the future." ”

Plov's sister was assigned to Hoffman Investment Bank to take administrative care while his wife stayed at home to help Hannah and Aunt Fehrin with the housework.

Plov was holding a girl about four years old in his left hand and a newborn child in his right hand. "These are my two little princesses, Lilia and Eugenia. ”

Jonas crouched down, pinched Lilia's little face, and smiled at her. "Hello, Lilia. ”

The girl smiled shyly and ducked behind her father.

Jonas touched the baby who was still swaddling with his fingers, the child who had only been born for two months, was sleeping soundly at the moment.

"Eugenia...... It's a nice name...... "Jonas looked up at Prov and asked, "Plov, I remember your last name is Vorovsky......"

Plov opened his mouth and smiled: "Yes, so the children's surname is Volodina." ”

Russian girls have a diacritic even if they have their father's surname. For example, the fathers are Ski, Nov, but the syllables after the girl will become

Wa, Ya, Na ending.

Jonas looked at the child who was still squinting and sleeping, and couldn't help but laugh.

Originally from Kazan and born on September 17, 84, this is not the famous Empress Eugene!

In his previous life, Jonas admired this former Russian No. 1 model, and it was rare to find a Westerner, but he had the outline and beauty of an Oriental.

I really can't figure out how Plov could give birth to such a beautiful daughter when he is so ugly.

Plov watched Jonas's eyes sweep back and forth between his and his daughter's faces a few times, and couldn't help but say, "Before I was disfigured, I was also a big handsome guy, okay!"

Jonas laughed, "I didn't say anything. ”

The relationship between the two of them, even if it is some jokes, will not care.

Yankel patted Jonas on the shoulder. "Let's invite the guests into the house first, your grandmother wants to see the two children too. ”

Helen and Joseph are already old, and now they are tired of dogs. Hannah gave all her love for her grandson to Jonas, adding a touch of majesty and a little less closeness to the siblings.

But recently, Hannah's heart has softened again. The thought that in seven months, he would be promoted to great-grandmother, was very kind to Eugene, who was still in infancy.

Plov's new home, though already built, will be left vacant for a month to emit toxicity.

In Europe in the eighties, all kinds of paints and coatings were not pollution-free.

Plov was especially honored to see Hannah's kind expression.

In this family, he is most afraid of Hannah, and he is afraid that Hannah will not like his family.

If so, he even thought about letting his family move out so that it wouldn't affect Hannah's perception of them.

"Jonas, I've been idle for more than two months, and I'm about to rust. ”

Jonas was also helpless. "Keep idle, I've been grounded by my grandmother and rarely go out now. ”

Being grounded by Hannah is actually just an excuse, the key is that Helen, a stinky girl, was sold by Neuer, and Jonas went to visit Nicole twice, both of which were snuggled upon.

Thankfully, she didn't know that Jonas was going to see Nicole, otherwise, something would have happened.

Now, on the weekend, Jonas doesn't have time to see Nicole. I can only skip class every Thursday or Friday for half a day to visit Nicole.

After inviting the Plovs to lunch, Jonas returned to his study and began to complete his homework.

Although his body has recovered, the elder Theon is afraid of the recurrence of Jonas's old injury, and he does not dare to let Jonas train at all.

Only on Sunday did he have half a day to get Jonas back in shape.

Jonas is fortunate to be in goalkeeper and it would be difficult to maintain his form in any other position.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Please come in. ”

Plov walked in from outside the door and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Jonas." ”

"Plov, what's the matter?"

With a hint of shame on his face, Plov rubbed his hands together with a slight restraint and sat down across from Jonas.

"Jonas, there's one thing I'd like to ask for your help with. ”

"Plov, you know me, I will try to meet your requests. ”

"But this is a bit out of the ordinary, Jonas, you can refuse. ”

By saying this, he piqued Jonas's curiosity. "Could it be that your old organization has found you again?"

Prov paused for a moment, obviously shocked by Jonas's cleverness, at this time, he didn't dare to talk about it, and hurriedly said: "In the past, I belonged to the action group in the organization, and I didn't involve some insiders, so I was able to retire later and return to Kazan to work as a lumberjack." ”

Jonas nodded, and he added, "Mr. Richie got us people out, and there were some unspecified rules with the organization at the beginning, and basically, the organization has given up on us people. ”

"So, what's the problem now?"

"When I was changing trains from Moscow, I met a former colleague. He was assigned to Dresden as director of the Soviet-German Friendship House.

Because we used to know each other, we talked about something during the trip. I may have spoken a little more, and when I was talking to him about the European economy, I said some of your points.

Then, after knowing what you did, he changed his mind and wanted to get some inside information about Gonwall from you. Of course, this is a private request and you can decline. ”

Jonas glanced at Plov and asked, "I can make you more talkative, and I have an old relationship with you?"

"We've known each other since '77, and he's different from us, he eats with his brain. But he's always had a lot of respect for us brainless people. ”

Jonas asked, "What's his name?" I can't just decide who he is. ”

"His name is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Plov was clearly prepared and recited his resume fluently. "He graduated from the Faculty of Law of Leningrad University in '75 and at the same time received a doctorate in economics.

The following year, he entered the KGB for training, and until last year he was selected to study at the Andropov Red Banner Academy, and now he is appointed Dudresden as the director of the Soviet-German Friendship House. ”

Jonas was calm on the surface, but he was overjoyed inside. He had been thinking about how to relate to the Great Emperor, and now the opportunity came to the door automatically.

He lowered his head, afraid that the smile on his face would be seen by Plov, and covered his face with his hand.

Pretending to be silent for a while, Jonas's heart calmed down, and then he took his hand away and said, "I need to meet him, although the information about the shareholders of Gonvorcio is not top secret, but it is not something that can be obtained without paying a little price. ”

Plov shook his head and said, "He has limited funds, I'm afraid he won't be able to come up with the price you want." Even when he came to Switzerland this time, I sponsored his travel expenses. ”

Jonas shook his head and said, "Plov, you've made me very passive by such a move. You know, I don't like to be associated with politics. ”

Prov nodded and said, "I know, so I didn't mention it to him at all, I was just going to collect some information from Ivan and Andrei to help him." ”

Plov was talking about two of Rich's bodyguards, who knew a little more about the inside of the interest group.

"That's good, but since they're here, I'll see them." Jonas became more and more satisfied, he stood up, added a little boiling water to his cup, and said, "The price is not just money. Sometimes, taking a long-term view can lead to more gains. ”

Seeing that Jonas agreed, he was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll pick him up now......"

Jonas shook his head and said, "Not suitable, which hotel did you arrange him in?"

"Hotel Alpina opposite the train station. ”

"How many of them?"

"Just him and his pregnant wife. ”

Jonas thought for a moment, thought that he should not show urgency, nodded and said, "You can inform him, and I will invite him to dinner in the evening." I have to meet him before I decide whether to invest in him or not. ”

"Investment?" Prov was a little puzzled.

Jonas laughed, "You can tell him what I said." ”

Being able to invest in the Great Emperor before he has made a fortune is the best investment.

Jonas didn't want to get involved in politics too much, and it was best to use the means of a businessman.

At six o'clock in the evening, Jonas, accompanied by Kaye Young, entered the Lee Taibai restaurant in the Old City.

Built in 1734 as a former café, the restaurant house was particularly popular with musicians and thinkers.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a group of cooks were brought to Europe by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and their Chinese cuisine was popular throughout Europe at that time.

Since then, Chinese cuisine has become a high-end delicacy in Europe, selling far more than French cuisine in Switzerland.

When Jonas went to the capital, at the Beijing Hotel, a serving of shredded pork with green peppers was only five yuan.

But at Mrs. Lee's restaurant, it costs 25 Swiss francs, which is equivalent to 25 US dollars.

At this price, it is enough to eat a French meal with an appetizer, a main meal, and dessert.

Entering the restaurant, Jonas saw at a glance the young Emperor, who was only thirty-two years old this year and looked only in his twenties.

At this time, he did not have the majesty of the later generations, and he looked clear-eyed.

Also because of his thin appearance, he loved judo since he was a child and became a judo coach during college.

Jonas didn't leave his eyes on him, although he was thirteen years younger than him, but now the identities of the two were very different.

When Jonas faced him, he should be stronger, Corporal Lixian, but he lost his identity.

He also noticed Jonas as soon as he entered the restaurant, and stood up politely, and the eyes of the two men never separated.

Jonas strode over to their table and reached out to him, "Jonas Hoffman, a young student and businessman. ”

The Emperor held out his hand and shook Jonas's hand and said in fluent German: "Still an unbeatable goalkeeper." ”

Jonas laughed, "In terms of honor, I am not as proud of your country as Yasin. ”

Jonas is more than 20 centimeters taller than Putin, who is only 1.7 meters tall at most, and the two men stand facing each other, and Jonas is looking at him completely from a bird's-eye attitude.

At this time, Putin can be called a little fresh meat.

Hearing Jonas's self-humility, he flattered and smiled, "It's just because of the age gap." ”

Turning to Lyudmila, Jonas just shook his hand and said, "Welcome to Switzerland, Lucerne is a beautiful little city, and Tolstoy used to linger here." ”

Lyudmila's German was much worse, and she stammered: "Yes, the Capel Bridge alone has surprised us, and I can't believe that this wooden bridge is six hundred years old." ”

Jonas nodded to her, noisily invited everyone to sit down, and said, "Plov, since you are your former colleague, you will be responsible for arranging Mr. Putin's travel while he is in Switzerland."

Also, the Alpina Hotel is too noisy here, and I think the quiet Platz Hotel is more suitable for a future mother to rest.

Please do not refuse the invitation of a vulgar businessman who has a high roller, who does not know how to express his hospitality except for money. ”

Jonas's attitude was a bit strong, but it was definitely not uncomfortable, and Jonas had a good grasp of the middle.

At this time, Plov explained: "The Platz Hotel is almost an internal hotel for the disciples of Rich, where they can meet energy merchants from all over the world. ”

The Emperor's eyes lit up and he thanked Jonas: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, I will remember to have you as a friend in Switzerland." ”

(I don't dare to blow the air conditioner, now I'm dizzy and sweaty.) Book friends should pay more attention to their bodies, the fever is really uncomfortable)
