"Sure enough, I still prefer this kind of leisurely life."

Sitting in the hotel's luxurious restaurant, enjoying the exquisite French cuisine while admiring Anna's elegant and standard lady's dining etiquette, John sighed secretly.

It's been two days since they arrived in Paris, and John and Anna have been trapped in the hotel, but John, who has been tired all the way, is happy to do so.

The three cars are like big magnets, attracting countless people every day. The most common of them are, of course, ordinary Parisians, whose curiosity drives them into the parking lot of the hotel every day - among the carriages, three cars stand out. In addition to the public, shrewd French businessmen were among the visitors, who were eager to find the manufacturers of the three cars, either to ask if the price was good for sale, or to ask if they could buy a patent for production.

In addition, there are countless reporters who have heard about it.

As it turned out, after the advent of something really sensational, information at the end of the 19th century was not as fast as John had always thought.

Since the departure from Karlsruhe, the watches of the three cars have been very good, except for some minor problems, there have been no major failures, and the bad roads are the biggest problem affecting the speed. In addition, I didn't pass through too many cities along the way, so it didn't cause any impact.

But after arriving in Paris, everything was different.

Although the Franco-Prussian War ended with the defeat of France more than ten years ago, in fact, France's international status is still much higher than that of Germany, and Paris is naturally more interesting than Berlin. So when the three cars drove onto the road of Champsa Liche, the sensation caused was self-evident.

After John and Anna broke through the onlookers and found a hotel to check into. It seems that the journalists all over Paris have heard about it!

In real history, Benz's cars did not have such treatment.

The reason is also very understandable, the first car in history, even if you push back ten years, the car of 1896 is not as advanced as General Motors, which John threw out with technology ahead of its time and hundreds of thousands of marks, plus Karlsruhe was originally a small place. Benz's car didn't really become widely known until after attending the fair.

But for now......

The day after he arrived, the whole of Paris knew that someone had invented a "horse-drawn carriage" that could travel on its own on the road, and by the fourth day, the news had even reached London and Berlin, where it became a piece of news in the newspapers of both cities!

Although the cable telegraph is not very convenient, it is still the fastest means for the newspaper industry.

Dealing with the work of businessmen and journalists, John completely handed over to the two henchmen of General Motors. He had already anticipated this when he was selecting people, so he directly instructed Benz to select two people who were technically sure to pass the test, and at the same time were more reliable in terms of image, speech and demeanor. And taking advantage of this opportunity to hype up GM is the second important task of their trip.

If it weren't for the company's intense expansion and preparation of the production plant, Benz, Daimler and Maybach would probably have to follow the next one......

"John, are you still tired?"

Gently wiping her lips with a napkin, Anna asked with a smile.

"Huh? Oh, it's already rested. ”

John, who was eating, was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile and asked, "What?" Are you tired of staying in a hotel? ”

Nodding, Anna said with a yearning on her face, "Yes." I finally came to Paris once, and I wanted to go around...... For example, the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe! ”

"Uh......"

After listening to Anna's words. John suddenly had a black line at his end.

In addition to the Eiffel Tower, which is currently under construction, Anna wants to go to a place that has all the four major buildings of Paris in the future. Merely......

Fortunately, this is not Germany, nor is it the Brister family, otherwise just by the daughter's great rebellion, I am afraid that Mr. Brister's thunderous anger will be provoked! Germany and France are now mortal rivals, as are Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre. Isn't it a scolding for a German to go to see the Arc de Triomphe?

But fortunately, although John is "German", his heart is yellow, and he quickly nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning!" ”

"That'...... What about this side of the matter? ”

At first, she was excited, but Anna quickly asked with some hesitation.

John waved his hand nonchalantly. He smiled and said, "The people from General Motors will solve this problem very well, hehe, just leave it to them." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Biting her lip, Anna's eyes flashed with excitement. In addition to the excitement, Anna seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly continued: "John, is there anything you want to go to when you come to Paris?" ”

"I'm ......"

After hearing Anna's question, John couldn't help but scratch his head.

I decided to come to Paris not because I received an invitation from a French university or hospital. In fact, although John's theories of surgery were accepted by many French physicians, and Heinz Pharmaceuticals also had orders from France, as an associate professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, he never received any invitations from France.

The reason, of course, is still that one, the relationship between the two countries!

Therefore, in addition to wanting to see the world-famous French capital in the future, the most important thing is of course because of the long-awaited master of science Louis Brown. Pasteur. Just past 1885, Pasteur had just made a name for himself with the rabies vaccine, and now he has become a French national treasure. Koch's colleagues at the University of Berlin, he really didn't know how to meet the French master of science.

In the words of later generations, Pasteur and Koch were lifelong enemies.

The bad relationship between the two men must have been a difference in academic philosophy, but a lot of it was also related to the opposition between Germany and France, just as the Soviets and Westerners in the future were divided in medical theory, and politics or ideology determined many things. John remembers that his old professors in college once lamented that when they were in school, the country was still the younger brother of the Soviets, so they had to wave Pavlov's flag openly, but secretly they learned the Western knowledge system......

However, John was a little unwilling to give up, and after thinking about it, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "No matter what, I can only try it......"

"Hey!"

Just when John was struggling with this, he didn't expect his silence to annoy Anna in front of him, and the girl glared and said, "I'm just asking where you want to go, do you need to think about it for so long?" ”

"Uh...... Ha ha. ”

Smiling a little awkwardly, John simply said casually: "I don't really have any other places I want to visit, but I heard that French food is quite good, how about we find some famous restaurants to taste the food?" ”

"Okay!"

Anna, who also likes food, was amazed and nodded her head in agreement.

Just as the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time felt a warmth in their hearts, the two acquaintances walked into the hotel restaurant side by side—the same two people sent by General Motors to follow John and take charge of all the things related to the car on the road. After seeing John, the two naturally stepped forward to say hello: "Good evening, Mr. Huntelaar." ”

"Good evening, both."

John also smiled politely and said, "I've worked hard for you in the past two days, let's go to all over Paris from tomorrow to play, rest assured, I'll cover all the expenses." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Huntelaar."

The two of them looked at each other, looking quite excited, but in the end, one of them shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But if we still stay in the hotel, because there are several gentlemen who have made an appointment today to continue the conversation tomorrow, so ......"

"Oh?"

Raising his eyebrows, John asked with some curiosity, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

Because John is the majority shareholder of General Motors, the two have nothing to hide, and one of them said excitedly: "Mr. Huntelaar, these gentlemen are all gentlemen who are very interested in cars, and I just want to talk about it tomorrow to see if I can customize a ...... for them" (to be continued......
