"Welcome to Brister Manor, Mr. Huntelaar. \\”

In front of a large house with a little extravagance, John was warmly welcomed by Mr. Brister. Mr. Brister was a tall white man in his forties, slightly thin and of a rather ordinary appearance, but John understood why Anna was so beautiful when he saw him. Mrs. Brister was a beauty herself, and her husband's skin was extremely fair, a little better than a woman!

"It's just a big man who looks too weak like this!"

After a general glance at Mr. Brister, John complained secretly.

At Mr. Brister's side were his family, including Mrs. Bristral, whom John had once met, and their eldest daughter, the beautiful Miss Anna Bristol. In fact, John knew that the Brister family had a young daughter, but she was just six or seven years old, so she didn't show up in the welcoming crowd.

"It is my pleasure, Mr. Brister."

Without hesitation, John paid his respects to the Brister family, and then, after parting salutes with the two women, he was led by his master into the house he had been looking forward to for a week.

After taking a seat in the baroque living room, John duly presented himself with the gifts he had prepared: a Gillette razor of his design, a popular Berlin home ornament for Mrs. Brister, a carefully selected brooch for Miss Brister, and a complete set of Lego bricks for little Miss Brister.

In fact, the best gift for Mr. Brister should be a bicycle, but it is not easy to buy one in Berlin now, and in the end John has no choice but to give up.

"Thank you very much for the gift, Mr. Huntelaar."

After each opened the gifts, everyone's faces were smiling, and Mr. Brister, after expressing his gratitude, picked up the gifts with some curiosity and asked, "But this thing ...... What is it used for? ”

"It's a razor, it's used for shaving."

Smiling, John patiently introduced Mr. Brister to the purpose and use of the razor.

Because of its small size, John took a lot of it with him when he left New York, on the one hand, to guard against his future beard, and on the other hand, to save it as a gift. After all, in addition to the value of the gift, it is also very important to see whether it is unique, and what could be more special than a gift designed by John himself? Just like the Lego bricks for Miss Brister, John later asked Joshua to bring several sets, and his younger siblings like Luther and Funk loved it.

In the exclamations of the two ladies, Mr. Brister instantly grasped the key to John's words, and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, you designed this razor yourself?" ”

"Yes, sir."

John nodded, smiled and said, "This is something I designed for my grandfather on his birthday...... Mrs. Brister, Miss Brister, please forgive me for not deliberately concealing ......"

At this point, John turned to the two beautiful ladies and said with a smile: "Actually, I designed the bicycle myself, and so do the building blocks for children!" ”

"Sizzle! ……”

After listening to John's explanation, the three people present gasped at the same time! The Bristers were utterly shocked, and Anna's gaze at John in surprise suddenly became a ripple of admiration and curiosity.

John was very satisfied with the reaction of the three of them.

Although John has a very good impression of Miss Anna, after all, finding a partner is the key task today, and under such a premise, it is very necessary to properly show his own strength. Judging from the size of this manor, the Brister family is certainly not a top businessman or entrepreneur in Germany, but it is definitely not weak, and it is the best partner in Joshua's confession. The other party is too strong, and it is easy to swallow the bicycle factory in one gulp, and if it is too weak, it is not conducive to the construction and future promotion of the factory, so it is not too big or small.

Now it seems that the effect of John's words is very obvious!

The attitude of the male host, Mr. Brister, became more enthusiastic, and he looked at John with more appreciation and amazement in his eyes, nodded and smiled: "A few years ago, I heard that there was a great Ming family in the United States, Mr. Edison, who now has an electric light that can change the lighting of the world, but I didn't expect to see another American Ming family who can change the world's traffic today......"

"Edison? Lamp? ”

Hearing this, John was slightly stunned, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, John really didn't want to say anything more about the great man who was more like a businessman than a Ming family. And he doesn't think that he can change the world's traffic by doing it, at most it can be regarded as an improvement, otherwise what would you do with the car that will appear in Germany next year?

But fortunately, Mr. Brister did not dwell on this, and soon led the topic to the matter of cooperation, and said: "Mr. Huntelaar, I am very interested in the production of bicycles, I don't know what kind of way the cooperation you are talking about?" ”

"Can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of products does your factory make?"

John was not carried away by Anna's beauty, and asked calmly after a little silence.

"Our factory is mainly engaged in wood processing."

Mr. Brister hesitated for a moment at John's question, and then said with a little confidence: "But rest assured, Germany has the best workers in the world, and we can build factories soon as we have a patent!" ”

"This ......"

When he heard that the Brister family made wood, John was immediately a little embarrassed.

It's true that he has a crush on Anna, and it's not false that he hopes to find a partner as much as possible, but let a man who does woodworking make a bicycle? Maybe it's okay to have money in a place like Germany, but in addition to the investment of capital and local forces, the level of managers is also very important to find a partner, otherwise how to solve the problems of factory management, product cost and quality control, etc.?

Seeing John's embarrassed expression, Brister's heart suddenly became a little anxious.

As a successful businessman and entrepreneur, Brister naturally knows how to recognise the value and prospects of a wide range of commodities. And because of business, he travels back and forth between Hamburg and Berlin all year round, and also goes to England and France once a year. And he knew very well at this time that John probably appeared at that ball to find someone to work with, so that his wife and daughter could meet......

If you miss such a good opportunity, I'm afraid you will really regret it for the rest of your life!

However, for a while, Brister couldn't think about it, although the bicycle business looked very attractive, but for a while he really couldn't find a reason to convince John, after all, it is easy to say that the popularity of bicycles is good, but his shortcomings in production are too strict.

In desperation, Brister couldn't help but glance at his wife.

Brister was able to start from scratch from an ordinary small landowner to the current Cheng Dù, in addition to hard work, there is also extraordinary luck, and Mrs. Brister by her side is her greatest help. Mrs. Brister, who came from a merchant family, has a strong business acumen, and usually gives her husband a lot of ideas, and even Brister herself has to admit in his heart that if his wife is a man, she will definitely achieve much higher achievements than herself.

This can be seen from Mrs. Brister's behavior after meeting John at the ball: John went to the ball to get to know more people, but in fact he didn't know a third person, Mrs. Brister, since he talked to Mrs. Brister about the bicycle

But when she saw her husband's eyes, Mrs. Brister frowned and pondered.

Mrs. Brister understood her husband's intentions, and she understood John's concerns in this matter, for her own shortcomings were very evident. But she was also reluctant to let go of such a good opportunity, so after thinking about it for a while, she smiled kindly, and said: "Mr. Huntelaar, although we have no experience in producing similar products, if we find another experienced gentleman to join in, there should be no problem, right?" ”

"Oh?"

John's gaze at Mrs. Brister became slightly surprised, and after a moment of silence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, as long as our interests can be guaranteed, we don't mind having more people join in!" And ......"

John paused for a moment before continuing, "Mr. and Madame, since you are in the woodworking business, I wonder if you are interested in this Lego toy I designed?" ”
