From Paris, direct to Istanbul. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info?? Huoran? Text: w?w?w?.?

From the day it appeared, the Orient Express was the star of the train, and the long journey was not at all dull, boring, or hard in the luxurious carriage. And like John? Mr. Huntelaar is like this, and the rich people who have chartered the entire carriage in one go enjoy even more luxurious treatment!

Of course, such treatment caused quite a few protests.

Tickets for the Orient Express are so sought-after, this extremely luxurious train is very popular with all those who like to enjoy and travel, and the rich people all over Europe are eager to do so, especially those young rich second generation, who want to enjoy the romance of the Orient Express with their lovers or wives. Therefore, John, who chartered a first-class carriage in one go, became a representative of the nouveau riche from the United States in the mouth of some newspapers, full of copper smell......

It's a pity that no one cares what they think.

As for the reputation of being an upstart on his back, John said he didn't care at all. He himself is not really interested in enjoying anything, at least compared to those rich people in New York, the family is really much more low-key. But now that he has a net worth and status, John never minds making his life, especially traveling, more comfortable.

A train trip can cost thousands of pounds!

Perhaps for most people in this era, a few thousand pounds is the entire income of their lifetime, but for John today, it is just a day's profit from his factory.

If you have money to spend, what do you keep it for?

So no matter how public opinion criticizes, how dissatisfied the rich are, but when it comes to the day of departure, John? Monsieur Huntelaar and his entourage, a group of more than twenty people, arrived at the station in Paris and boarded the first class carriage of the Orient Express. And in order to serve this big man well, the company to which the Orient Express belongs has long been prepared, and specially added two conductors to this carriage to facilitate Mr. Huntelaar's greeting.

It's just a pity that the housekeeper of the Huntelaar family didn't agree.

In order to ensure the safety and comfort of John's trip to the East, the butler had already made thoughtful preparations, accompanied by two cooks, two maids, two drivers, four male servants and more than ten bodyguards, and with them on board the car were countless large boxes, which were filled with Mr. Huntelaar's clothes, daily necessities, etc., and even they also purchased a large amount of fresh food in Paris and carried it to the car, and two chefs were in charge of his diet.

In addition to these people, Huntelaar Bank also has enough people to arrange the rest of the itinerary in Istanbul, the terminal of the Orient Express. In order to do this well, a team of five people has arrived in Istanbul and is waiting for Huntelaar to arrive......

There is no doubt that this is too extravagant for even a rich man!

So in addition to the newspapers that got the gossip, when John boarded the Orient Express, the passengers on the train, who thought they were qualified, began to harass him, or the butler, to be exact. Everyone wanted to meet this big man from the United States, including an English earl. It's just that the butler politely declined all of these people's visits, because Huntelaar wanted to be able to enjoy a simple train journey!

However, this changed when he arrived in Munich, when a surprise visit from a mysterious figure shattered the tranquility......

……

“…… Sir, His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived. ”

Walking gently to John's side, the steward of the Huntelaar family whispered: "I must remind you that it is Prince Ruprecht who is here, and the future heir of the Kingdom of Bavaria, please be sure to ......."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Putting down the book in his hand, John shook his head helplessly.

John had no resentment about his housekeeper's verbosity. And to be honest, he could understand his butler's thoughts, after all, it was a great honor for a German descendant to meet the future king of Bavaria, whether it was for him, for the old butler, or even for old Huntelaar. But for a time-traveler, John knew very well that the so-called Kingdom of Bavaria, as well as the German Empire, would be empty in a few years......

And with John's current status, does he really care about the prince of a kingdom?

After tidying up his clothes a little, John made his way to the box at the door, and met His Royal Highness, a prince about his age, who was quite handsome in his time.

Raising his eyebrows, John took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness!" ”

"It is my pleasure too, sir."

The well-mannered prince immediately stood up, shook John's hand politely, and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Huntelaar's trip by visiting suddenly without an appointment." ”

"Huh."

Rolling his eyes secretly, John smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'm just a little unaccustomed to receiving people like you in this kind of place...... Hehe, especially a VIP like you! ”

John's faint tone immediately made the prince a little embarrassed.

Of course, the security of the Orient Express is very good, and only his own people can enter the carriage chartered by John, and even the conductor who was originally configured cannot get on. But when the car arrives in Munich, a guy who claims to be the prince of the Kingdom of Bavaria suddenly appears at the door of the carriage and asks to meet Johann secretly with the assistance of a certain train staff? Mr. Huntelaar......

Even if the other party's status is special, John does have a reason to express his dissatisfaction for this.

However, although John was not happy about the sudden visit of the prince of the Kingdom of Bavaria, he was more puzzled. He could not understand why such a prince would suddenly visit him, and at such a special time and on a special occasion. After all, he is an American tycoon, and the other party is a prince, which is really a relationship that cannot be beaten.

Fortunately, the other party didn't have much time, and after a few words of greeting, the prince immediately got straight to the point: "Mr. Huntelaar, we have just received news that the Huntelaar consortium has reached a deal with Mr. Rockefeller, exchanging some land in Ohio and California for several small oil companies, and then merging with several other mergers and acquisitions to form the Huntelaar Oil Company......"

"Huh? It's for oil? ”

After hearing this, John's brow furrowed.

There is nothing to hide from the deal with Rockefeller, and it is normal for the Germans to know the news, after all, for the country, the current thirst for oil is also undisguised. But as far as John himself knew, today's Germans rely almost exclusively on Standard Oil...... Once standard oil to provide. Now that Standard Oil has disintegrated, the supply of oil should not be reduced, so why suddenly come to yourself?

Seeing John's doubts, the prince immediately explained quickly.

By 1911, the role of oil in the industrial system had become more and more prominent. Especially in this world, because of the emergence of John, the automobile industry has been revitalized in advance, and the German automobile industry has far exceeded the level of the same period in history because of the emergence of General Motors.

So for the importance of oil, the Germans recognized in advance.

However, it is meaningless to realize that Germany has few resources in its own country, and ninety percent of the domestic oil supply is provided by German oil marketing companies. In this company, Deutsche Bank has only 9 percent of the shares, and the rest is controlled by the oil tycoon Rockefeller......

What does this have to do with me, though?

Under John's incomprehensible gaze, the prince's expression became more and more embarrassed. For a big man like him, the most embarrassing thing is in front of him, who came to the door and wanted to cooperate with the other party, and at the same time expected the other party to have exactly the same idea, but after arriving, he found that everything was just his wishful thinking, and the other party couldn't even figure out his intentions!

"We hope to be able to work with Mr. Huntelaar."

After taking a deep breath, His Royal Highness had to say directly: "Mr. Huntelaar, as a European power, we do not want all oil supplies to be in the hands of a single American company, so we hope that we can cooperate with Huntelaar Oil, preferably to establish a completely new company ...... together" (To be continued. )!!
