“…… Are you going to work with that person? ”

After returning to the hotel, Anna immediately asked puzzled: "Listening to what he said just now, the scale of the factory is not large, far worse than Heinz Pharmaceutical." ”

Back to the hotel just now, is that Nathan? Mr. Du Bois sent back. Along the way, we talked a lot of things, and the other party tried hard to cooperate with John, so John also had a general understanding of the scale and profitability of the other party's factory. Although she doesn't know much about business, but after all, she is the daughter of the Brister family, and Anna soon discovers that compared to Heinz Pharmaceutical, Nathan? The factory in Dubois is really not worth mentioning.

"Hehe, there are really not many comparisons to Heinz Pharmaceutical."

John smiled and said proudly: "In terms of the whole of Europe, there are only a dozen chemical companies that can produce on a larger scale than us, but when it comes to profitability...... There really aren't a few! ”

Drugs that transcend the times will inevitably bring benefits beyond the times.

But after a moment's pause, John explained with a smile, "But that Nathan? Monsieur Du Bois and Monsieur Pasteur are very close, don't you notice? ”

"This ...... Does it matter? ”

Blinking, Anna asked, a little puzzled.

"Of course it does!"

Nodding, John replied in the affirmative, "Maybe we don't have to work with him alone, but if he is one of the partners, it should be fine." Monsieur Pasteur has a huge reputation throughout France, and we can compare the Institut Pasteur, Nathan? Mr. Du Bois was brought in, and then he was able to find someone with deep capital to work with, so that the shares of the company could be more balanced and avoid a monopoly situation...... Anna, we're going back to the United States, after all. It is not possible to be permanent in Europe, so it would be good for us to spread it out. ”

"Oh, that's right."

After listening to John's explanation, Anna nodded as if she didn't understand, and didn't continue to ask. In business, she is still a layman after all, although John is only a half-ass......

According to John's original plan, he would stay in Paris for two to three weeks.

The main purpose, of course, is to find partners. This was an important goal for him to be willing to stay in Paris for so long. Since it was decided to license all the patents for the drugs and gain greater influence and sales, John would not waste time in vain, so after communicating with the old Huntelaar by telegram a few times, he simply came to Paris himself.

Unfortunately, he really didn't have any roots in Paris.

If you were in London, with the bike factory you had worked with and an old friend like Liszt, it wouldn't be difficult to find a partner. But in Paris...... John didn't have any old relationships before, let alone the inconveniences caused by the tensions between Germany and France.

However, today's visit to Pasteur gave him a sudden idea.

If Pasteur looked at him differently because of the diphtheria antitoxin serum, why didn't he bring this medical expert in? In terms of prestige, Pasteur was unique in France, and the funeral at the time of his death was of unprecedented magnamity, if his Pasteur Institute was involved. Even a small stake is enough to allow the future factory to move around France. So for Nathan? Mr. Du Bois's eagerness. John didn't refuse, even if the other party's chemical factory was really not strong enough.

But then again, if the French chemical factories were powerful, how could the Germans destroy their traditional dye industry in one fell swoop? Now Pasteur will certainly not refuse this benefit, and with Nathan? With the addition of Mr. Du Bois, the search for other powerful collaborators did not require John to do it himself. Why not?

And, with Nathan? Du Bois was on the move, and his time in Paris was completely relaxed......

……

The weather in Paris is much better than in Berlin.

Even in mid-to-late October, the temperature in Paris is not too low. Up and down hovering in the tens of degrees, the only thing that makes people a little annoyed is that there is not a lot of rain, and the next one will be a few days.

On the fifth day of John and Anna's arrival in Paris, the sky was once again unbeautiful......

"Alas!"

Looking at the gray sky outside the window, John was in a bit unhappy.

As soon as he finished washing up early in the morning, he looked out the window and found that it was raining, which made his face suddenly dark. Although he himself doesn't hate rainy days, and even likes the feeling of raindrops hitting the window, he originally asked Anna to go to the Louvre today, and it would be uncomfortable if it rained.

"Bang! Bang! ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Patting his forehead, John opened the door and looked, sure enough, it was Anna standing outside the door with a displeased face, pouting and muttering, "John, it's raining outside." ”

"I see it."

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, John smiled and comforted: "The Louvre is indeed a bit far away, I'm afraid it will be a bit over when the rain stops, or we will go another day?" ”

“…… All right. ”

Despite her reluctance, Anna nodded eventually.

After coming to this era, John learned that the scenes in the later 19th-century movies were all deceitful, such as people walking around the streets on rainy nights, and for example, the heroes and heroines running desperately and shouting in the rain after the passion came up......

In fact, on rainy days in the 19th century, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, no matter how heavy or light it was.

This is also related to the characteristics of the times, it is not easy for women to go out in these days, especially ladies like Anna, who often have to wear complicated long dresses, and it is not easy to walk in the rain. In addition, the absence of antibiotics and other drugs is also one of the important reasons, once you catch a cold in the rain, the body will just carry it, and if you can't resist it and prolong it into pneumonia or something, it will be a big trouble......

After talking in the room for a while, the two went out to the hotel's restaurant.

There was nothing to say about breakfast, and John's taste was stuffed with the same stuff like chewing wax, and I couldn't help but yearn even more for a Chinese chef, and to be able to eat xiao long bao and fried dough sticks again. At first, he asked Brister to help find someone, but in the end, his father-in-law told him that if he wanted to find a suitable oriental chef, he was afraid that he would have to go to London......

"John!"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Awakened by Anna's somewhat angry voice, John hurriedly put aside the hot buns and fragrant fritters, and looked at Anna with a slight apology: "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now...... What did you say? ”

Glaring at John, Anna said angrily: "I just heard someone say that there is an art exhibition nearby today, I mean, since we can't go to the Louvre, let's go to this art exhibition to have a look, okay?" ”

"No problem!"

Although he was not interested in the art exhibition, of course John could not object at this time, so he nodded and smiled busily: "I'll find someone to inquire later, and we'll go to ...... when the rain stops" (to be continued......
