559 Fourth Shift: The Darkness Before Dawn

=====》The darkness before dawn will not last long, good luck will always favor those who struggle, please favor me! I'm one more yard again, the fifth one, I can only rely on rushing, two hours, fight!

The atmosphere is very dignified.

But Zhang Chen didn't show a trace of timidity in his eyes.

Not bad.

He did guess Rudolph or the Habsburgs' intentions.

They have a request for themselves!

Instead of simply inviting yourself to be a guest!

Or to put it another way.

These ancient families are too old, even if they have countless splendors and glory, but that is only the past, and it can only be the past.

The Habsburg family has been annihilated in history, this sentence is not just an empty word, but it is not the Habsburg noble surname that has been annihilated, but their glory and power, as well as their status.

For an ancient aristocracy, even a family that once reigned as a vast imperial royal family that ruled over most of Europe, the loss of power and glory was undoubtedly equivalent to annihilation.

Europeans put an end to aristocratic rule with the ideas of democracy and freedom, and established a new republic on the corpses of nobles and large families.

That is, the so-called democratic regime.

Nature.

These ancient aristocrats, who have been buried by them in the dust of history, will surely be seen as a thorn in the side by the rulers of democratic regimes.

Presumably, although the status of the Habsburgs enjoys honor, I am afraid that life may not be easy.

Zhang Chen is not a good man and a woman.

You won't get drunk just because someone else has a good word or two.

Yes, he can't do anything to the French government, he can't do anything to the European Commission, but it's probably not enough for a mere outdated European aristocrat to oppress himself with those decaying glories.

And since the Habsburgs are willing to invite themselves as guests, Zhang Chen has no fear.

"Mr. Rudolph, I need the friendship of the Habsburgs, but I also need to get what I want, these!"

Between the words.

Zhang Chen's eyes revealed some unpredictable looks.

I saw him turn around. The historical ruins that radiated a golden luster around him said slowly, "I'm afraid these things are not what I want." ”

Astound!

Arrogant!

But it is full of confidence!

Rudolph didn't speak, just quietly looked at Zhang Chen in front of him.

This Chinese is already beyond his expectations!

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he went wrong! Zhang Chen is not a young genius. Rather, it is a beast of ancient oriental wisdom, with confidence bordering on hubris. But it also has enough strength and strong wrists.

Perhaps the French really found themselves a difficult opponent this time, and it is not difficult to imagine that this Chinese will certainly not have a good impression of the French government or certain interest groups.

Compared to Rudolph, the young Fritz's face was already a little wrong.

Arrogant Chinese.

But he didn't say anything, because in front of Rudolph he was not qualified enough.

But he didn't realize that in front of Zhang Chen, he was also unqualified. With Zhang Chen's current status, even high-ranking officials of the French government need to be called "Your Excellency".

And he, a descendant of a family who has passed the gas, may not even have the qualifications to compete with Zhang Chen on the same stage.

Catherine and Chen Xi were just quietly fighting between men.

This is the first time Chen Xi has talked to others about cooperation, but compared with imagination, Zhang Chen is stronger.

However, she loved it.

Because it's her man.

"Hahaha! Zhang, you Chinese are the only ones I don't understand. Twenty years ago, when I went to China, I said that there is a good chance that there will be a place for you in the world in the future.

But I'm going to change my mind now, and I think it's not a possibility, but a certainty.

You Chinese will definitely become the most powerful country in the world. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Rudolph, for the compliment, I believe the same!"

Hahaha!

I can't tell you why!

However, in Zhang Chen's smile. It is full of confidence and publicity, but in Rudolph's smile, there is a bit of bitterness.

The glory of the past.

After all, it still declined and decayed!

Zhang Chen actually expected Rudolph not to answer his own question, but Rudolph's mind is indeed the head of an ancient family.

Compared to him, the young man named Fritz was not half a little worse.

Zhang Chen did not believe in the so-called aristocratic bearing.

Compared to aristocratic bearing. The power in his hands and the strength behind him are even more convincing, if he is not the president and owner of MSI, if he does not stand behind the Chinese government, I am afraid that Habsburg's current attitude will not be as polite as it is now.

The group went up to the living room on the second floor.

Zhang Chen's eyes were a little confused.

An aristocrat is an aristocracy.

At least this family background is not something that ordinary people can have, even the Zhang family in Baihuwan, the mansion he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build, compared with the Habsburgs in front of him at this moment, it can be described as the difference between a thatched hut and a high-rise building.

Brightly colored paintings, fine furnishings and classical court chandeliers, even the handrails on the stairs are carved with gold-encrusted stripes with the family coat of arms.

Of course, the most striking thing is the pair of half-human-high blue and white porcelain that stands quietly in the two corners of the living room.

It's definitely good stuff!

Zhang Chen didn't even have to question the authenticity of this thing, quietly from the texture and color of that pair of blue and white porcelain, this is a good thing.

Damn Europeans.

I think I am a gentleman, but what thing is not stained with this blood, needless to say, this thing must be a good thing that was brought back from China back then, and it is impossible for the Habsburgs to keep it to this day.

Really.

When Chen's gaze fell on the pair of blue and white porcelain.

Rudolph's eyes didn't know what color was flashing.

He knew exactly where it came from, when the Habsburgs were still ruling the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and when the foreign ministers of the European countries visited the Austro-Hungarian Empire as special ambassadors to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they each gave a gift that they had brought back from the far East.

This pair of blue and white porcelain was a pair of Chinese court porcelain given to the Emperor by the British ambassador at the time, and is said to be the best decoration that the Emperor of China used in his study.

Even if it is put up for auction now, I am afraid that it will be a sky-high price.

But Rudolph knew.

This thing is not just a pair, in the family treasury, at least one pair of these things exist, as for how it came about, you have to ask the German Foreign Minister at the time.

Because before the First World War, when Kaiser Wilhelm's envoy came to visit the emperor, he also gave such a pair of gifts, which is said to have been found in the same place as the British army.

Apparently.

This young Chinese understands the value of this thing.

"Zhang, this is something left by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, a gift from the Far East, I think such fine porcelain can only be made by Chinese full of wisdom."

Gift?

Zhang Chen secretly scolded a few words in his heart when he heard this.

"If this is a gift to Lao Tzu to take off his head and give you a night pot, if it is not for the things plundered by the Western powers from China back then, Lao Tzu will have your surname."

Of course, it certainly doesn't show that on the face.

"Mr. Rudolph, I think the Chinese can make something better than this porcelain, not just porcelain."

Rudolph didn't say anything.

This Chinese is so smart that he even feels that he is not facing a young entrepreneur, but an old and cunning politician.

Zhang Chen's gaze shifted extremely quickly.

He didn't stay on the blue and white porcelain for too long, it was almost fleeting, in fact, he couldn't wait to pack this thing and take it with him right away.

If he had known that there was a couple in the Habsburg vaults, he would have even thought of robbery.

This thing is not everywhere in the world, if he guessed correctly, this thing is definitely a unique product, I am afraid that the whole world has it here, you just can't find a place to buy it no matter how much money you want to buy.

"Zhang, I can give you what you need!"

Rudolph had to be cautious about Zhang Chen, because he knew that this young man was enough to make him jealous.

Zhang Chen did not speak, but stared at the oil painting "Afterglow of the Sunset" on the wall.

"Mr. Rudolph, the sun is going down, the light is still there, and the darkness before dawn is only temporary, right?"

(It's only been two days and a new start in 16 years, brothers, kneel and beg for a monthly pass!) (To be continued.) )
