Chapter 31: People are small and have a lot of money!

"Hello dear Mr. Curator, it is a pleasure to interview you. Philips said.

"Hello Mr. Journalist, it is a pleasure for me to be featured in the Berliner Evening Post. Jia Lei said.

"First of all, can you ask your name and nationality?" asked Philips.

"My name is Jia Lei, and I am a Chinese!" Jia Lei replied with a smile.

"Mr. Thunder?" Philips wrote as he spoke, and Jia Lei was stunned and didn't know how to explain that these two words were homophones.

"Does Mr. Philips understand Chinese?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"A little bit, I learned it from my mother, the owner of a Chinese restaurant, and I can say many Chinese words "mapo tofu?", "dumplings", "red envelope chicken", "sugar coarse meat", "mixed family noodles". Philips said confidently.

Jia Lei couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard the boss's mother, and finally couldn't help laughing when he heard the miscellaneous noodles, and the miscellaneous noodles were clearly fried noodles.

"Mr. Philips, you are wrong, first of all, the restaurant is called the proprietress instead of the proprietress mother, and secondly, the noodles you eat are called fried, sauce, noodles, not mixed noodles! Jia Lei kindly corrected the Philips reporter.

"But my Huaxia friend just called his mother a mother, am I right?" asked Philips, puzzled.

"It is true that the mother is called alone, but in the restaurant it is the landlady or the owner's wife. Jia Lei explained to him.

"No, Mr. Thunder is your mistake, Aunt Mei is Mr. Li's mother and not his wife, and the restaurant has been inherited by Mr. Li since Mr. Li'......s death," Philips gave evidence with a serious face, Jia Lei didn't know how to explain it to him when he heard this, and immediately brought the topic back to business.

"Mr. Philips, let's get down to business, Mr. Novan said you want to visit me?" asked Jia Lei.

"Yes, there's a lot to be said about the new Berlin Wall Museum. At first, there were pro-democracy protests that Berlin shouldn't leave the bloody thing of the Berlin Wall, while others think you're a philanthropist because there are rumors that you're going to give 10 percent of your ticket money to a foundation for the victims of the Berlin Wall and donate the other 10 percent to the Women's Children's Foundation, right?" asked Philips.

"Yes, this rumor is true!" Jia Lei said with certainty.

"Oh! You're a good-hearted angel, a caring businessman! You're so caring at such a young age than those black-hearted businessmen. Philips complimented.

"That's what I'm supposed to do, I opened the museum so that Berliners have a place where they can remember this history, not for money. I plan to vacate the 50-metre Berlin Wall next to the main entrance for artists and painters who are more expressive, and we at the museum are going to follow the example of the East Side Gallery in holding a painting ceremony on Easter Day, so that everyone can come here to show their feelings for the Berlin Wall. Jia Lei said that in fact, he just wanted to catch a big net - in case he could catch a famous painter, it would be worth it.

"Really? Then I'm going to have to get the good news in the newspaper, can I?" asked Philips. The laws of Western countries are particularly strict on privacy protection, and Jia Lei made it clear before the interview that he could not publish his photo and full name.

"Of course, if you could do me one more favor. Jia Lei said with a golden light in his eyes.

"What's the busy?" asked Philips.

"Well, there are a lot of artists coming on Easter, and I want to buy a few Easter eggs from the Russian royal family and use them for an exhibition on the day for artists and the citizens of Berlin to visit for free. Can you help me write an acquisition ad in the newspaper?" asked Jia Lei.

"Of course, no problem, but the Tsar's Easter eggs are worth a lot of money, how much are you going to buy?" asked Philips.

"The price is based on the craftsmanship and the value of the jewelry, and the artists will select the best eggs, and I will put the best eggs in the museum for everyone to see and give the owner an additional $100,000 under the purchase price. Jia Lei said.

Now that Europe is in chaos, Jia Lei has to put on a rich face for anything, he is ready to take advantage of this time to fish for more artworks, you must know that after a few years and the situation is stable, the value of these works of art will double by hundreds.

"So let's move on to the next question...... Philips continued.

****

Since the Berlin Evening News sent out the interview with Jia Lei, Jia Lei has become popular, and people's discussions can be heard on the streets and alleys of Berlin.

A kind-hearted businessman!

A teenager from the ancient country of China in the Far East!

A caring and conscientious entrepreneur and collector, a wealthy banker—— Master Thunder.

"Why is it Young Master Thunder and not Young Master Lei, oh no! I forgot to remind him that he misremembered my name!" Jia Lei said, looking at the newspaper. Although Philips' name is not reliable, the writing is first-class, and Jia Lei has become the embodiment of an angel in his pen, a perfect person.

Countless fame and praise fell on Jia Lei unexpectedly, and for a time Jia Lei received many invitations to art exhibitions and charity auctions, of course, because Jia Lei also had an investment bank under his name, several bankers also curiously handed Jia Lei invitations.

"All invitations to charity dinners are refused, don't you see that I am poor now and have to borrow money to spend?" Jia Lei said with a bunch of invitations.

"What about business dinners and charity auctions?" asked Pete.

"Don't refuse, you can help me ask if Mr. Detlev karsten Rohedder, director of the State Property Trusteeship, will attend, even if I don't meet a banquet attended by the director of the trusteeship bureau and other high-ranking officials of the trusteeship bureau. Now it's time to deal with the Trusteeship, which didn't have a reputation before and ignored me, but now I'm a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist. Jia Lei looked in the mirror at the tailor-made suit and said that he was wearing a smaller version of Armani's haute couture 1991 spring and summer suit.

By the way, Pete, are you sure that Director Rohedder will definitely attend this dinner?" Jia Lei asked Pete that he was going to his department store this time.

"Yes, boss, I have inquired! Mr. Rohedder will definitely go today, the host of the birthday party is a classmate of the trustee director, they have a good relationship, and Mr. Rohedder will go every time he has a birthday. Pitt said that the Trusteeship Bureau is now the most oily department in Germany, and it is up to them to decide who to sell to 14,000 East German companies, large and small.

"Why don't you say that the Trusteeship Bureau doesn't auction all the companies publicly, everyone knows that the auction price will be much higher than the sale price. Jia Lei asked.

"I don't know, I'm not a German, how can I know what Germans think. Pete said.

"You see that there are East Germans marching outside, and I have heard that many East German companies have been sold cheaply by the Trusteeship Bureau, and in the appraisal of the assets of these enterprises, a construction machinery vehicle is valued at only 1 mark...... I'm afraid that even a tire is more than this price!" Jia Lei said as he looked at the procession outside the car window.

"The privatization and sale of East German enterprises this time is too simple and crude, I heard that more than 700,000 people in East Germany have lost their jobs, and the number of semi-unemployed has reached more than 2 million.
