The person who spoke was an old man, and he couldn't tell his specific age, but he could also see from the old age spots on his face that the old man's age was probably not small. The hair on his forehead had fallen off, and only half of his head was still pale, and he was meticulously combing it backwards. The eyebrows are slightly better than the hair, and there is still a slight blackness. Aside from the full head of gray hair and sparse eyebrows, whether it is the bags under his eyes or the wrinkles on his face, it is impossible to tell the specific age of this person. At this time, he pursed his lips in old-fashioned rimmed glasses, looking down at Sloane, his nostrils facing the sky, and a very proud look.

What stunned Zhong Shi was that such an old man, who should have been a kind and kind image, showed an aggressive posture at this time, which was really an incredible thing.

Bell Stone quickly recalled in his mind what he had just said to Sloane, making sure that there was nothing offensive about others, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart. It stands to reason that to be invited to Wolfgang today. The people at Porsche's birthday party are either celebrities or politicians, and they certainly won't be unknown. People with status and status generally have a certain degree of self-cultivation, at least they will not show their rudeness and presumptuousness in this kind of place, but the person in front of him is obviously not among them.

Sloane. Landman apparently didn't expect such a situation either, so he retorted without seeing the appearance of the person who came. But soon his face changed again, because the old man in front of him gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"Young man, this is not the place where I scatter wild, is it the place where you scatter wild?"

Perhaps seeing the confused expression on Zhong Shi's face, the old man no longer spoke German, but instead spoke fluent British English, "Gentlemen. Any idea what this place is? I don't know how you got in! Damn the Far Easterners! ”

The last sentence he lowered his voice and scolded, but how could he hide it from Zhong Shi and Sloane's ears? As soon as these words came out, the two of them somewhat understood why the old man was so hostile.

During the Second World War, the German regime came to power by advocating nationalism. At that time, there was a large market for this kind of thinking, and at the same time it caused great harm to other peoples in the world. Although the German government after the defeat of the war legislated to restrict the revival of nationalism, the Nazi ideology has been on the rise in recent years. Although these ideas and forces will never again be able to come to power in power. But privately, among some people, there is still a market for this idea of the optimality of the Germanic people.

Thinking that this old man is a supporter of the theory of racial superiority and inferiority, he is full of malice towards Zhong Shi for no reason.

"I remember who he is!"

It was at this time that Sloane finally remembered who the old man really was, Adolf. Merkler.

Adolph. Merkler, a German billionaire, has assets of 10 billion euros. Born in 1934, he is now 74 years old, and in the past few decades he has built a small factory with about 80 employees into a large pharmaceutical company with annual sales of 21.6 billion euros.

In addition to having two aircraft carrier-level companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Merkler also has a proven track record in other industries. Leather, ski equipment, motors and even cement building materials, all have a presence in his family. And just last year, he bought the British building materials Hansen company for 8 billion pounds, which caused a sensation in the industry.

So far, Merkler's fully owned VEM Holding controls majority of his dozens of companies, and Merkler manipulates VEM to operate on his companies. The companies have assets of up to 30 billion euros, while the indirectly controlled Merkler has a staggering net worth of $9.2 billion (7 billion euros), ranking 94th on the list of the world's richest people. He's a real big guy.

Thinking that he might have offended such a big man just now, Sloan. Landman's legs and stomach trembled. Those who do what they do are doing good to others. Especially this kind of self-made old man. They are strictly self-disciplined, strong-willed, and vigorous, and many of them are out-and-out tyrants or dictators. And the worst thing is that most of their companies are family-owned. Although they are also listed on the capital market, the absolute controlling stake is always in the hands of their family, so if you want to do business with such a person in this situation, you must maintain a good personal relationship.

But Zhong Shi next to him is not a simple character, I really have to talk about it. Zhong Shi's resume is even more glorious than that of Mr. Merkler. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of age, Bell Stone can completely blow up Merkler's street, let alone the superficial wealth.

Just hesitated for a second, Sloan. Landman stood on Zhongshi's side without hesitation, "Mr. Merkler, it's wrong for you to be so racist, I think it's not just me, even a stranger, I can't agree with what you say." ”

Hearing Sloan's words, Adolf. Merkler couldn't believe his eyes, staring at Sloan. Landman looked at it for a long time, and then said leisurely: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't say anything racist. I just don't think it's appropriate for this gentleman to be here today. You know, it's Wolfgang's birthday, and it's not good if some messy people show up. ”

Seeing that the other party recognized him, he still dared to refute himself to his face to defend the oriental, Adolf. Merkeler was also secretly surprised. But first, he has a tough personality, basically belongs to the kind that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the second is his heart, in his opinion, such a young Oriental face can get into here, itself may be a problem with security, plus he has a tendency to racial discrimination, so he still said unrelentingly.

Zhong Shi was still smiling, pretending not to understand anything. But if you look closely, you can see that his smile has turned cold, and the knuckles of his glasses are pale from overexertion. Obviously, Zhong Shi was already furious at this time, and if he hadn't taken the scene into account, he would have spilled a glass of wine on this old guy's face.

"Really?" Seeing that Zhong Shi still didn't speak, Sloan naturally took on the role of defense, "But why do I think you shouldn't appear on such an occasion, Mr. Merkler?" Are you planning to give your Porsche medicine or fill it with cement? Oh. By the way, I forgot about it, I heard that your Heidelberg cement company is in big trouble, but I wonder if Mr. Merckler can still share the materials to build a Porsche? ”

In August 07, Heidelberg Cement Company, a subsidiary of the Merkler family business, acquired the British building materials Hansen company, which was originally a good business to integrate upstream and downstream. But because of the subprime crisis. As a result, the demand for cement and building materials in the entire construction industry has shrunk dramatically, and in this case, Heidelberg's stock has plummeted, and its market value has been cut in half in half in a month, and the rating agency has also downgraded the company, and the construction giant is currently struggling in the quagmire.

Sloan's argument about Heidelberg Cement's current financial predicament hits Merkler's weakness. The old man with a tough personality suddenly became angry, and a glass of wine was poured directly into Sloane's face, "What are you to dare to talk to me like this?" Believe it or not, a phone call. Will it be able to get you out? Damn, before I fully break out, tell me the company you work for, and I'll personally call your executives and let them know what kind of appearance their employees are! ”

Sloan was just quick to speak, who would have thought that this Mr. Merkler would do it when he said that he would do it, and he was caught off guard by the middle of the door with the drink, and immediately took two steps backwards. But I didn't want to bump into a passing waiter. And the waiter didn't expect a gentleman to bump into him, although he reacted quickly. But under the impact, the tray in his hand still fell to the ground, making a faint sound of glass breaking.

Merkler was busy with Heidelberg Cement at this time, and the debt of up to 10 billion euros made him breathless, and now Sloan was angered by this nerve, and he exploded in spite of the image. In fact, he had been thinking a little bit about it, as he had seen Sloan deliberately curry favor with Bellstone. Knowing that this white man was not a big man, he took the lead in attacking Sloan with the mentality of "persimmon picking and pinching".

But something he didn't expect happened, and after he poured the drink on Sloane, Bell Stone couldn't hold back his anger anymore. The same drink in his hand was splashed in his face, and he was also caught off guard, and Merkler was also splashed by Zhong Shi.

Because there was a sudden commotion, all the guests looked at this side in unison. Then they saw a scene that shocked them: a man with an oriental face was holding a wine towards the white-haired Adolf. Merkle splashed it and drenched him directly in the face.

Anyone who comes here, as long as they are German, or who knows something about the German market, knows Adolf. Merkler the billionaire. Although his reputation among his peers and the business community is mixed, in any case, being spilled a drink on such an occasion is definitely a big deal.

For a while, the brains of people from all walks of life started to guess the person who dared to splash Adolf. Merkler's identity as a young man of the East came. At the same time, many people have put Zhongshi on the list of unfriendly.

"This guy is a racist!"

Sloane staggered back two steps, barely steadied himself, and saw Bell Stone splash back Adolphus. After seeing the reaction of the people around him, he immediately shouted loudly, "Mr. Merkler's insulting words offended Mr. Zhong." I would have liked to persuade me, but who knew that Mr. Merkler would be so rude. ”

He naturally knows the importance of occupying the position of public opinion first in this situation. If Zhong Shi was inconvenient to say, he naturally had to do it for him first.

Adolph. Before Merkler could react from being splashed with alcohol, he looked at Zhong Shi in a daze, wiped his face again, put his palm under his nose and sniffed, and then screamed: "Security, security, kick this guy out of here!" ”

Before he could shout, two strong security guards ran over and stood beside them, for fear that they would have another conflict. Although they heard Merkle shouting in German, they did nothing.

"I think you're the one who should go out!"

At this moment, Hans. Schroeder walked over briskly, and the first thing he said was Adolf. Merkeler was dumbfounded.

"Hans, do you know what you're talking about?" Adolph. Merkler couldn't believe her ears and pointed to the other person's face and questioned Hans. Schroeder said, "Don't you know who I am?" Damn, aren't you going to kick me out without even knowing what happened? ”

"Not bad!" Although Merkler's fingers were about to poke the tip of the other man's nose, Hans. Schroeder still had a blank face and said, "Adolf, racists are not welcome here, so please get out of here and don't embarrass us." Also, Mr. Chung is our guest of honor, and if you offend him, you will offend the entire Porsche family. So please leave, now! ”

As soon as he gave the order, the two security guards immediately lined up to Merkler's left and right, making a gesture of inviting people, as if Merkle did not leave, he would take forcible measures.

In this case, Adolf. Naturally, Merkler was not bored, and after glaring at Zhong Shi viciously, he was about to walk out the door.

"Wait!" At this moment, Zhong Shi shouted to stop him, walked up to Merkle in front of everyone in the puzzled eyes, and said with a smile, "Adolf. Mr. Merkler, maybe you don't know who I am, so it's not interesting. Remember me, my name is Zhong Shi, and you are always welcome to lose face today. In addition, there is one more thing to tell you, that you have succeeded in provoking me off, and that you are ready to deal with my blows to you. ”

Zhong Shi didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, so almost everyone heard it. This almost provocative remark immediately caused a commotion, and the eyes of the people who looked at Zhong Shi changed. The person who can say such things on such an occasion either has the strength to defy the sky, or is purely confused and neurotic, and he doesn't know what he is talking about. But no matter how you look at Zhongshi, it doesn't look like the latter.

Perhaps sensing the seriousness and solemnity in Zhong Shi's words, Merkler's face changed slightly, and the next moment he walked towards the door without looking back. At this moment, he hated the Porsche family far more than he hated Zhongshi, and he couldn't take care of this little guy for the time being. (To be continued......)
