As one of the most outstanding cities of the era, Paris undoubtedly gave John the best of its time. Mr. Huntelaar was quite impressed.

Of course, it's just some ordinary impressions, and it's really impossible to talk about shocking or anything.

As a visitor to the twenty-first century, John is unlikely to be struck by the events of more than a hundred years ago other than war, and he is more just curious about these world-famous metropolises. And to be serious, even if he was a dirt bun who rarely went abroad in his previous life, John had been to many big cities in his life......

In contrast, John gave the city of Paris more shock.

The advent of the almost mature automobile instantly ignited the great enthusiasm of the people of the industrial age, and at the same time made the small town of Karlsruhe on the Franco-German border famous, and the name of General Motors spread throughout the city of Paris almost instantly.

Of course, this was already expected by John.

If John had anything to look forward to in Paris, it was the esteemed Monsieur Pasteur, but to his regret and pity, Pasteur had been invited to the French colony in Africa last month to solve the local epidemic, and it would take at least a month to return, so that John had to give up his plan to visit the scientific giant in disappointment - and it just so happened that most of John's attention was on Anna......

"It's a nice day, where are you going?"

While enjoying a delicious breakfast, John casually asked Anna beside him.

If there's anything else to make John nostalgic for the city of Paris, it's gastronomy. Compared to New York and Berlin, the French do have a better understanding of food, at least in this rather luxurious hotel, John doesn't have to eat a monotonous breakfast with a satisfied smile on his face - even after nearly two decades of rebirth. He still keeps thinking about the Chinese food he was used to in his previous life, especially the fritters, steamed buns, millet porridge and soy milk in the morning......

"Today......"

In response to John's question just now, Anna hesitated for a moment and then suddenly asked, "John, how many more days will we be in Paris?" ”

“…… Three days at most. ”

After being stunned for a moment, John replied after a careful calculation.

John had planned to stay in Paris for a week at most, but it had been several days since the group arrived in Paris. If you don't want to delay the rest of the trip, you will indeed have to leave in three days.

Hearing that there were still three days to go, Anna suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then grinned: "There is still plenty of time, so I won't go far today, how about the two of us just walk around this street?" ”

In the past few days, Anna, accompanied by John, has basically visited the entire Greater Paris City, leaving only Notre Dame Cathedral, so her interest in traveling has plummeted. And in the past few days, the girl has also inquired clearly, knowing that the Champs-Élysées is the most prosperous commercial center in Paris. There are many well-known clothing stores, and Anna, who has long been fascinated by Parisian fashion, naturally does not want to miss this best opportunity.

"Uh...... Absolutely. ”

couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, but John said with a smile on his face. Since he chose to live on the Champs-Élysées, John naturally expected this day to come, but he was too uninterested in the so-called commercial centers of this era. Even in the city of Paris, even in the Champs-Élysées, the humble goods in those shops did not interest him......

"Mr. Huntelaar."

While the two were chatting, a man suddenly walked up to John's side. The voice seemed to be a little hesitant and a little apprehensive, "Sorry to disturb your breakfast time, but ......"

"Huh? But what? ”

frowned. John looked up at his traveling companion.

The person who came was one of two technicians sent by General Motors to follow John, and the key to ensuring the normal operation of the three cars along the way. However, what puzzled John was that the two of them were surrounded by reporters, businessmen, and various other people almost every day because they represented General Motors, so why did they have time to find themselves today?

"Sir, I'm afraid there's something you have to decide right now."

I saw John's slightly dissatisfied expression. The person who came smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Of course, he knew that he had come at the wrong time, for it was obvious that Mr. Huntelaar was talking sweetly to Miss Brister, and his presence had probably made Mr. Huntelaar very dissatisfied. And he himself knew that Mr. Huntelaar had made it clear from the day of departure. Any car-related matters on this trip were handled by the two of them, so now the big boss who came to disturb him filled his heart with trepidation.

"What's the matter?"

In the end, Anna wiped her mouth lightly and asked with some curiosity.

Seeing Anna speak, the visitor immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly spoke: "A few French people came early this morning, and suddenly asked our car to compete with the carriage they brought, saying that they wanted to see if General Motors was as good as we said...... Mr. Huntelaar, do we need to fight? “

"Race?"

Hearing this, John's brow furrowed in surprise.

"Yes, sir."

Nodding, the visitor explained helplessly.

The so-called race between carriages and automobiles was a challenge posed by the do-gooders after John and his party arrived in Paris. The hottest words in the city of Paris these days are the three cars from Germany, and while the French are amazed by this epoch-making invention, they also feel lost and dissatisfied with the fact that the inventor of the car is a German, so it is not long for some people to question and criticize the car.

The best object of contrast, of course, is the carriage to which people are accustomed.

Which one is the fastest compared to a car or a horse-drawn carriage? Which one has the longest stamina? Which one is more comfortable to ride? ……

This series of problems has become the focus of attention of the whole city of Paris!

So, naturally, a race between a car and a horse-drawn carriage was planned. So this morning, a reporter from the Journal de Paris came to the hotel with a few people to raise the challenge. The two men from General Motors did not dare to make their own decisions, so they immediately ran to John's opinion.

After listening to this explanation, John was speechless.

In John's memory, there seems to be a race between a carriage and a train, but a race with a car is really unheard of. And he also knew very well the performance of the three cars, what was the point of racing against those carriages?

Thinking of this, John waved his hand with some interest and said, "If the condition of the three cars is good, let's compare." But you have to remember that if the car wins, be sure to ask them to include our company's name when reporting it, but don't forget to ......"

Yesterday I blew on the Great Wall for more than three hours, and I was still dizzy tonight. (To be continued......)
