Chapter 257: Greeting

Since 200 years ago, Lucerne has been considered the most beautiful city in the world and is the number one tourist destination in Europe.

If it weren't for the fact that Switzerland is so expensive, this 800-year-old town would have been occupied by tourists.

Even so, countless musicians, painters, writers, still leave their traces in the city.

In addition to them, there are also the lords of European countries, and the nobles are particularly fond of this small city with mountains, rivers, scenery and humanities.

Before Charles, his great-grandmother, known as the grandmother of Europe, his grandfather and parents, all left their footprints here.

Because of the snow, the couple arrived in Zurich by plane with their children, as well as the royal family's bodyguards, cooks, and entourage, and then by train to the town of Meghan.

"Welcome, Your Royal Highness. Welcome, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Jonas shook hands with Charles, but kissed the princess.

And Neuer next to him did a half-squat salute with Charles, but he did a veneer salute with Anna.

Due to the changes of the times, the East has simplified a lot in terms of red tape, but Europeans still have a lot of pedantic attention in semi-formal occasions.

"Thank you for having me, Jonas. Seven years ago, I stayed alone at your house for a week, and that week was the most relaxing week I've ever had. At that time, you were a child, but now, you are a world-renowned investor. ”

Anna smiled: "It's still a star who has fascinated thousands of girls." ”

Although it was the first time that Neuer had officially attended the social scene as Jonas's girlfriend, he had a good grasp of proportion.

Hearing Anna's words, she deliberately pouted slightly, wrinkled her nose, and said in a coquettish tone like a little girl: "Compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, he is not stable enough, and he will not feel distressed. ”

Anna smiled and said, "Jonas, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to let his beloved girl complain. ”

Jonas laughed: "As Neuer said, I am still full of impetuousness and not calm enough. ”

Degrading oneself and flattering the other person is always one of the most useful ways to communicate in social situations.

Charles stomped his feet and said, "It's too cold, we might as well go back and talk again." It's a light snowy day, the mist is rising on the lake, and Lake Lucerne is sure to be even more beautiful. ”

Jonas accompanied Charles, and Neuer accompanied Anna, and each got on a Rolls-Royce to Fort Neuer.

The convoy walked less than 500 meters south along the main road before turning into a side road.

Sitting in the car, you can see that the surface of Lake Lucerne has been frozen by the lake, but there is a mist formed by the temperature difference in the middle of the lake, which makes the surrounding lakes and mountains like a dream.

Today, the north gate of Neuer Castle is wide open, and the royal guards are loyal to the cold wind.

As soon as Jonas and his convoy entered the gate, they could see hundreds of people waiting in the courtyard.

At the foreground are Hannah and Vera, who are flanked by Lucas Hoffman, who is now the most senior man in the Hoffman family.

Behind them, followed by Yankel, Jacob, Andrei, and Laken with their wives, girlfriends, and children.

Although the weather was cold, everyone still saw each other in the courtyard, men and men, women and women.

Entering the warm room, Charles and Anna went to their room on the third floor to change clothes. Anna would then meet with the ladies on the third floor, while Charles would meet the male guests on the first floor.

These ceremonies were not arranged by Jonas, but by the royal family themselves, and Jonas was only responsible for providing a list of the identities of the guests.

The only thing he could do was the on-site service staff, who were not only from the etiquette company, but also some of them were students from the Liszt School of Hotel Service.

Under the leadership of Paler, they provide meticulous service to the guests on site.

Jonas was always by Charles's side, with him on this hypocritical but essential procedure.

He was probably tired of this kind of reception, so he deliberately delayed his departure from London until two o'clock, and arrived in Lucerne at almost four o'clock, and it was almost dark.

These guests are some of the most prominent Swiss families, relatives and friends of the Hoffmann family, and a few business associates.

It wasn't until just before dinner that Jonas had a chance to get out for a while, and asked Grandpa Philip to accompany Charles for him, and met with the Pahlavi family, who had never had a chance to talk.

Pahlavi, the last king of Persia, was a famous beautiful man, but his inheritance genes were not passed on to his two sons, but his three daughters, all of whom were very beautiful.

His eldest daughter was born to his first wife, Princess Fozia of Egypt, and has been living in Lausanne in southern Switzerland since her divorce.

She is also the most beautiful and charming of the five siblings, although she is forty-five years old, she looks like she is about thirty years old, and her whole body, every word and smile is full of an elegant charm, which can be called a stunner in the world.

The remaining two sons and two daughters were born to the third wife, and they were not close to the eldest sister, but after Pahlavi went into exile and later died, the relationship between the sisters and brothers improved.

The eldest son, Reza, is five years older than Jonas and is also married and has two children.

He was originally a college student in Los Angeles, but after his father's exile, he spent several years in exile in Morocco and Egypt before being allowed to settle in Armenia last year.

This big family was originally the pride of the sky and the lady of the sky, but now, falling into the dust.

Jonas knew the history of the future, and the younger brother and sister among them ended up killing themselves.

In the small living room on the second floor, Jonas and Ursula met with the family.

At a time when Jonas was besieging the shares of German car companies, when he was being aggressive at every turn, Reza's current 9 percent of Mercedes-Benz shares became a hot potato.

Jonas wanted to buy their shares, they must have wanted to sell them, but the Germans wouldn't let them sell, and they didn't dare to sell them now.

Jonas proposed a new model of cooperation, in which Reza pledged his Mercedes-Benz shares to Jonas, who provided him with a sum of money through a bank and then invested it in the investment market.

In this way, the ownership of the shares remains Reza's, but the management becomes Jonas's.

And Jonas was not afraid that Reza would take the money and run away, and the funds were transferred from the bank to Hoffman Investment Bank, and before the stock ownership was settled, Reza only had book investment and profits in Hoffman Investment Bank.

At most, they get an annual dividend that doesn't cost Jonas anything.

Reza readily agreed to this suggestion, and the money from Mercedes-Benz shares was invested in Hoffman Investment Bank, and the annual profit was at least twice that of Mercedes-Benz's dividends.

Now their whole family is sitting on empty food, they can have a little more income, and their lives are much better, not to mention that this is not a little ......

The two parties agreed to sign an agreement after the New Year, and Jonas moved from negotiation mode to master mode. "Today's guests come from all over Europe, and they are doing well in various industries. If you want to find new business opportunities in Europe and the United States, tonight is a great opportunity. ”

On behalf of the family, Reza thanked: "Thank you very much for the invitation, the Pahlavi family will always consider you as a best friend." ”

Jonas nodded, and personally carried them to the staircase again. "Before the dinner, I will introduce you to everyone and think carefully about the speech for a while. ”

"Thank you. ”

The second daughter, who is two years older than Jonas, and the youngest daughter, who is five years younger than Jonas, did not attract Jonas, but the eldest daughter, who is two years older than his mother, made Jonas a little jelly.

Seeing them descend the stairs and blend into the lobby, Jonas quickly shook his head and dismissed any distractions.

This is ridiculous!

It should be that I haven't had a woman for too long, and now when I see a charming woman, I can't control it.

But when Neuer thought about Neuer's fifteenth birthday tomorrow night, Jonas was devastated.

It's easy for her parents to say it, and it's easy for her to say it herself, but the four hundred and four gods can't pass it!

This is to force yourself to continue to be a scumbag, but scumbags are always more popular than honest people, which is a gratifying point.

Ursula didn't notice Jonas's abnormality, and said with a smile: "The Pahlavi family is perfectly handled here, except for us, Mercedes can't give a better price." ”

Jonas nodded and asked, "Do you know any management talent?"

Ursula asked, "Didn't Venus and Jacob find us the best talent in the automotive industry through a headhunter?"

Jonas laughed: "I think it's a little more destructive to give the Mercedes faction a bastard who is good at fighting and likes to play tricks." ”

Ursula couldn't help but laugh, "I think you're bad enough." ”

At this time, Mikiros led a "young man" of about thirty years old, who was not tall and had a good face, to the bottom of the stairs.

Jonas and Ursula were seen standing at the top of the stairs, with a slightly surprised look.

Jonas took a few steps down, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Your Excellency, what is the need?"

The other party smiled and shook Jonas's hand and said with a smile: "No, everything is fine." Jonas, just call me Gerald. Do you have time now? I'll only delay you for five minutes. ”

"Of course. ”

In front of him is the man who has occupied the throne of the richest man in Britain for decades, Charles's good friend, and one of the richest and most powerful hereditary dukes in Britain.

The four of them entered Jonas's small drawing-room, where Gerald complimented on the dΓ©cor and invited Jonas to sit down on a high-backed couch at the window. "What do you want to drink?"

"No, I'm almost full, and I'm still on my stomach for the evening's delicacies. ”

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Jonas, Charles and I started an environmentally friendly garbage recycling company, but it is a little difficult to operate at the moment. So, I wanted to ask you a favor. ”

Jonas did not directly admit and said: "I don't know the situation yet, I can only say that I will do my best." ”
