Chapter VIII Temporary Invitations

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This Mr. Morgan must be remarkable! ”

After the car stopped, Anna looked up at the sculptures in front of the mansion and couldn't help but whisper something into John's ear.

"Oh? Why? ”

John was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked with interest.

He was sure that as the daughter of an ordinary merchant in Berlin, Anna knew Morgan very well, and even if she had heard of it, she would not have much interest in exploring it. But now, Anna would say that Morgan was amazing, which surprised him a little.

You know, if it were twenty years later, many people would know that JP Morgan was great, but now it's only 1889, and Morgan's influence is not that big!

"If you think about it, you can tell!"

Blinking, Anna smiled and said, "First, he owns such a luxurious home on Madison Avenue, which means that he is very rich; Second, his family is on the same street as the new house chosen by the Huntelaar family, which shows that he is very tasteful......"

"Hehe, this fart is good!"

When he heard this, John was immediately amused.

When choosing the address of the new home, the old Huntelaar was indeed looking for a good place that could allow the Huntelaar family to "inherit for a hundred years" in the future, and the end result was Madison Avenue, which is more than a thousand meters away from Morgan's new home. Although John didn't know the reason for this, he vaguely felt that he would not have anything to do with Morgan, because that piece of land seemed to be recommended by the financial tycoon to his grandfather.

But......

"Are those two reasons all?"

Eyebrows twitched, and John asked with a squinting smile. 、

"Of course not."

Seeing that the Morgan servant had hurriedly greeted her, Anna quickly sat up straight, but grinned and said, "The most important thing is that there is one more ...... Hee-hee, that's an invitation that was only three days in advance. Can you make John? Mr. Huntelaar chose to extend his vacation by two days just to come here for a ball, which is not something that ordinary rich people can do, right? ”

"Uh......"

Hearing Anna say this, John suddenly laughed and said, "Then according to what you say, I was invited here to give Mr. Morgan a lot of face?" ”

Although he was talking and laughing, John couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

Today was supposed to be his first day in the hospital after returning to New York. Given the importance that John attached to the hospital, it was really impossible for ordinary people and things to change his mind, let alone come to some prom. But if the prom is hosted by JP Morgan, John can't just say no - as he says, he really wants to give Morgan face.

"Click!"

Just then, Henry opened the car door, and the Morgan servants greeted him.

John smiled and stepped out of his car, and Anna closed her mouth at the same time and followed with a smile on her face. After the two got out of the car. Immediately, a dozen eyes came at them: some people's faces were immediately filled with envy - for most people, everything in front of them was undoubtedly enviable.

Again, John and Anna are very conspicuous in this era.

The Caucasian people of this era have not been urged to grow up with sufficient nutrition for the next hundred years, and they are generally relatively short, while John's height of nearly 1.9 meters and Anna's height of more than 1.7 meters are like models in later generations, and they are extremely conspicuous wherever they go. In order to participate in today's ball, both of them wore the latest custom-made dresses, and stopped at the gate of Morgan's house at this time. is like a pair of golden boys and girls, and the end is extremely dazzling.

Not to mention. They still came in an Aurora.

Although New York is John's home base, GM is fully committed to ensuring the situation in the European market, and even he is unlikely to bring in too much stock. When it is fully calculated, the number of Auroras in New York will not exceed 50, and any one of them is extremely eye-catching......

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar. Miss Brister. ”

After John and Anna had stood still for a while, the servant who greeted them immediately greeted him respectfully, and then said softly, "Mr. Morgan is waiting for you, please come with me." ”

"Hmm."

He nodded simply, under the gaze of dozens of burning eyes around him. John gently bent his arms and led Anna to the door of Morgan's house......

……

"John? Mr. Huntelaar with his fiancΓ©e Anna? Miss Bristal arrives! ”

When the guy at the entrance of the ball shouted out the name on John's invitation, the whole hall seemed to be silent for a moment, and then many people looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were also a little uneasy.

But the first to come over was the owner of this ball.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar."

Before he knew it, JP Morgan was standing not far from John, and the financial tycoon, who was just in his early fifties, said with a smile: "Long time no see, welcome to today's ball...... Hehe, this is Miss Brister, right? You're so beautiful today! ”

After a faint glance, Morgan praised it with appreciation.

In terms of figure and appearance alone, Anna is indeed impeccable except for her slightly immature temperament, and today she is wearing a bright color long dress, and the gorgeous handmade lace brightly reflects her snow-white and silky skin, which is more youthful and energetic, and is definitely worthy of Morgan's praise.

"Thank you, Mr. Morgan, it's an honor to meet you!"

Under the introduction of her fiancΓ©, Anna finally met the amazing person she said was amazing.

Anna's first impression of the big man was pretty good, although she always felt that the little old man's attitude was a little strange, as if he were the master of New York City, and ......

The greatest city in the world?

When she heard this, Anna struggled to keep herself from laughing. Not to mention the well-known London and Paris, but Berlin is probably much more important than New York, right? What was it that gave Mr. Morgan the confidence to shout that sentence?

However, after saying hello, Morgan quickly turned his attention to John, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huntelaar, thank you very much for being here today...... I'm sorry, but because the preparations for this ball were very hasty, and I didn't know about the news of returning from Europe before, I couldn't send you an invitation in advance, so please forgive me. ”

"Hehe, you're so polite."

After scanning the surroundings out of the corner of his eye, John's eyes narrowed slightly.

After so many years of rebirth, John has become more and more aware of the importance that people attach to balls in this era. Fortunately for ordinary people, these upper-class balls are not casual, and preparations often take months. And if the organizer is a heavyweight, then the invitees live for that day more than a month before the dance - to make themselves more "decent", these people will even pay a lot of money to buy themselves outfits, and every day they figure out how to make themselves more glamorous.

The degree of good face of Europeans and Americans in this era is not worse than that of Chinese.

So Morgan's words can be believed, but how much can be believed has to be secretly pondered, after all, with this big man's current identity and status, if there is no other purpose, would he really organize a dance party in such a hurry and send himself an invitation temporarily?

John doesn't think so.

Continue to Carvin.

I finally got a recommendation, but I didn't have time to code words on the weekend, which was too tragic. (To be continued......)
