"Oh, what a spectacle!"

The moment you stepped down from your home aurora, Anna? Huntelaar couldn't help but cover his little mouth and let out a soft snort.

In front of them was a tall and majestic castle, with huge staircases leading up the light on both sides to the brightly lit hall entrance, flanked by heavily armed royal guards. Carriages or aurora lights stopped at the bottom of the steps, and then pairs of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies climbed the stairs and disappeared into the splendid gates......

Taking a deep breath, John chuckled slightly: "The royal ball, naturally, is not trivial. ”

Although he was an ordinary physician in his previous life, John had a good background in his life, and after becoming rich with bicycles, alternating current and aspirin, he also participated in the lavish balls held by the rich, but at this time, standing in front of the castle, John found that compared to the royal balls of Wilhelm II, the lavish balls in the past were too pediatric.

At the end of the day, the bottom line is too far off.

The respect for the royal family in Europeans at this time was unimaginable in the future, and until the Germans themselves overthrew Hohenzollern, the last emperor of the German Empire had always been the absolute will of this land power, especially when he succeeded in bringing away the iron-blooded Chancellor Bismarck, and became the center of the whole of Germany. In this case, the majesty of the royal family naturally gave the ball a sacred cloak to the ball.

"Hehe, in the end, the role of psychology is greater."

With a chuckle, John's state of mind quickly returned to normal. If he was a person of this era, he would naturally be in awe in the face of such a battle, and then in awe, but as a glorious time-traveler, that natural psychological superiority is difficult to dispel by any other external factor. So after a brief shock, an expression called calmness returned to the face of the traverser.

This kind of calmness makes Anna, who is uneasy in her heart, feel very down-to-earth.

The two walked slowly to the door, stretched out their hands to hand over the gilded invitation, and naturally someone sang loudly: "John? Mr. and Mrs. Huntelaar to ......"

In the words of the Chinese, this man is full of energy.

Hear John's name. More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him directly or covertly. Today this is a royal ball, and it is also held by William II himself, and the dignitaries and dignitaries who are present do not know how many, and they have to report their names almost every ten seconds, and the slightly ordinary characters will not be paid much attention at all, but John? Huntelaar has attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people.

Soon, an old friend of John's greeted him with a smile and greeted him warmly, "Long time no see, Mr. Huntelaar." ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Cole. ”

When John saw the visitor, he immediately respectfully stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party. "Good evening, Mr. Cole."

Following her husband, Anna also saluted Baron Cole.

John started out in Berlin by working with the Baron Cole, who had access to stainless steel technology decades ahead of its time, and John got a complete factory to manufacture surgical instruments and various medical instruments of his own design. It's just a pleasant cooperation. Later, it broke down because of some small actions of Baron Cole, but it was precisely because of that opportunity. John exchanged his shares in the Stainless Steel Company for all of his shares in the Medical Device Company.

I'm afraid it's really hard to say what the gains and losses are.

After several years of promotion, stainless steel is now extremely popular in Europe, and all kinds of exquisite daily necessities have become the new favorite of the aristocracy and the rich, but because of the technical level and raw material output limitations of this era, the output of stainless steel has not been able to rise. As for the products of medical device companies, although they are very popular. But it is also relatively easy to imitate, and you can only rely on quality and reputation to win customers......

But for John, it was an option that didn't have to be considered.

So when he saw this Baron Cole again, John did not hold a grudge because of the previous events, but greeted the other party with a smile on his face. At the same time, he observes the people around him with the corner of his eye. In the melodious music of the band, the guests who had already arrived gathered in groups and chatted in twos and threes, but John always felt as if someone was watching him, and there was more than one person, which made him frown slightly.

John felt a little unhappy in his heart, but Anna's eyes quickly lit up, and she whispered, "John, I saw a friend, go over and say hello." "Okay, there you go."

Looking at Anna's line of sight, it was a girl with a slight impression, and John immediately nodded and smiled.

As soon as Anna left, Baron Cole took John and introduced him to several gentlemen, all of whom were prominent figures in Berlin's business circles. After hearing John's name, almost everyone was very polite, and it seemed that John slowly blended into the atmosphere of the ball.

But......

After all, I still don't like this kind of occasion very much, and John feels a little bored while chatting.

seems to be a glamorous upper-class social interaction, but they talk about politics, economics and other issues, and John really has no interest in it. Just as his patience was wearing off little by little, a tall young man in his twenties suddenly approached: "Sorry, excuse me, Mr. Cole, this must be Mr. Huntelaar from the United States, right?" ”

"Haha, yes."

After seeing the visitor, Baron Cole's brows furrowed unnoticedly, but he quickly smiled and nodded: "Mr. Green, this is Mr. Huntelaar...... Mr. Huntelaar, this is Mr. Schwartz. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Schwartz."

"Mr. Huntelaar, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After getting to know each other, John looked at Mr. Schwartz in front of him with interest.

He was very young, twenty-three or fourteen years old at most, and he was quite handsome, and he was very well-dressed in speech and dress, but John was sensitive to the fact that Cole didn't like this young man very much, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes when he looked at the other man—which made John a little curious about him.

Under the somewhat displeased gaze of Baron Cole, the young Mr. Schwartz suddenly asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, I heard that you own a football club in London?" ”

"Uh...... Yes. ”

Glancing at the other party in some surprise, John nodded and smiled, "What?" Mr. Schwartz is also interested in football? ”

"Of course, very interested!"

Taking a deep breath, Schwartz said seriously: "I like this sport invented by the British, and I very much hope to promote it in Germany......"

Hurry up and hurry out of a chapter, good water, haha. (To be continued.) )
