After Professor Richthofen left, Joy was left in his study by his father.

"Joey, my friends have told me that you did very well this afternoon, and Daddy is very proud of you." The crown prince pulled Joey to his side and said solemnly, "But you also know the situation of your mother Feng Lu and father Feng Lu, and now you really can't support you to answer the scientists' huge plan at the salon." If you lose your trust to someone because of this, it will be dishonest to you, you know? ”

"I know, Dad." Joey nodded, "I've thought about it, most of these projects I fund on behalf of my mom don't need to have a large amount of money to spend yet." For the rest of the projects that need to be funded immediately, I also need the applicant to provide a feasibility report first, which I expect to take most people more than a month to prepare, plus the Foundation's evaluation, the revision and final acceptance of the plan, which will also take about a month. The most conservative estimate is that Mom's foundation will have a funding buffer of about 45 days. ”

"And these 45 days are the deadline for me to find a source of funding for my mother's foundation." Joey looked at his father and said seriously, "So I want to ask my father to help me with a few things tomorrow." ”

"What do you need Dad to do, can Qiao Qiao tell Dad first?" The crown prince looked at Joey equally seriously and asked.

"I have a couple of things to show to some people to try to get enough money." Joey thought for a moment, "Two of them I'd like to show in private, like showing to your good friend Uncle Herman, Dad." ”

"What is it?"

"I drew a blueprint for a firearm, and a chemical recipe." Joey replied with some vagueness.

"Jojo, you must know that your Uncle Herman, though often underestimated, is actually a very good master of gun design." The crown prince put his hands on Joey's shoulders with a serious look and said, "Your Uncle Herman likes you very much, but I don't allow you to use this to make nonsense, you must know that I have a lot of important things to exchange ideas with your Uncle Herman tomorrow." ”

"Dad, I promise, I'll just take you and Uncle Herman, well, twenty minutes at most." Joey raised his hands, "Dad, I swear, my drawings and recipes will definitely interest Uncle Herman." At that time, Dad, you can also judge this weapon and recipe by your status as a German field marshal. ”

The crown prince stared at Joey's eyes for a moment, and after frowning slightly, he said, "Jojo, your Uncle Herman will come to lunch with you tomorrow at noon, and before that, I will give you twenty minutes." After a pause, he continued, "Joey, no matter what you bring tomorrow, your Uncle Herman and Dad will not blame you, but I will never allow you to take some meaningless drawings and forcibly borrow money from your Uncle Herman. Dad, please cherish this trust from me, think about it, and then promise Dad, okay? ”

Joey looked at his father and nodded, "Dad, I won't live up to your hopes, I need it for these twenty minutes." ”

"Okay Joey." After the crown prince hugged Joey, he continued to ask, "Jojo, is there anything else besides this?" ”

"Yes, there is also a medicine that was funded by the Mom Foundation, and my teacher, Mr. Professor Koch, and Emir's diphtheria antitoxin has been successful. I am ready to establish a distribution channel for this drug, and I am willing to sell some of my shares if there is a suitable buyer inquiry. Joey continued, "If I could, I'd like to use your study to make a drug show for some of the big guys during the break from the Evening Dance. ”

"Oh, your Uncle Robert's medicine succeeded? Wasn't you still telling me and your mother in this study a few days ago that it was still under development? By the way, you call you Uncle Robert a teacher? The crown prince asked in surprise.

"Dad, I didn't expect my teacher and emir to be so fast in the past three days. Yes, Uncle Robert took me in as a student today. Joey also said with a smile.

"If the diphtheria antitoxin is successful, it will indeed relieve the pressure on your mother's foundation." The crown prince stroked Joey's head and nodded.

"Dad, there is another drug, I will also propose a research and development plan, it may take some time for the finished product to come out, but this drug is to cooperate with Professor Richthofen's African expedition plan." Joey continued.

"Joey, is it for malaria and sleeping sickness that you just mentioned?"

"Yes, mainly for malaria, my teacher had an idea for improving cinchona." In order to start the development of Africa as soon as possible, Joey had to pretend to be his teacher, "This improvement is more effective and convenient than cinchona." For this drug, if it is confirmed to be effective, I will allow the Koch Institute to authorize other pharmaceutical companies to produce it, hoping to raise a part of the fund in this way. ”

"Dad, the Koch Institute is bound to be a huge gold mine in the future. I can whisper to you that this afternoon my teachers, the Emile, Kitasato and Ulrich, have finally come up with a cure for several serious diseases, namely anthrax, tuberculosis, cholera, tetanus, and syphilis. Also, Ulrich may find an even more wonderful drug, which, if successful, will cost more than gold for 60 years from now. Joey whispered to his father with a mysterious face.

"Regarding Professor Richthofen's Africa plan, I think the breakthrough against this uncle of the Belgian king lies in Grandpa, you know how much Grandpa hates the Leopolds." Joey winked at his father.

"Joey, words and deeds should match your identity, His Majesty Leopold is a relative of his mother, and many members of the Ernst family are kings, don't cause unnecessary diplomatic trouble for the Prime Minister!" The crown prince said solemnly.

"Dad, don't worry, of course I won't do anything that doesn't fit my identity. I wonder if I told Grandpa and the Prime Minister about His Majesty Leopold's African ambitions, I think Grandpa would at least privately sponsor this matter, and the Prime Minister would be wary of it. Joey carefully analyzed his thoughts.

The crown prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Joey.

"Finally, I will also propose a plan for the change of the foundation's shares, and if anyone is willing to work with my mother in philanthropy, I propose to open up part of the foundation's equity, I think this will also solve some of the funds. Of course, this requires the consent of mom and you. Joey said solemnly.

"If anyone is willing to do charity together, of course your mother and I can't ask for it. Joey, but who's going to join in? The crown prince asked?

"Since it's still called the Crown Princess Victoria Fund, it's naturally my own family. As long as you and mom agree, I'll figure it out! Joey said confidently.

The crown prince frowned and looked at Joey for a while, and asked, "Are you still going to rob your emperor grandfather or the queen grandmother?" ”

"Isn't that a thing, Dad?!" Joey said with a smile.

Inside the best suites of the Berlin, Rome hotel.

Mary, dressed in pajamas, quietly pushed open the door of her aunt's bedroom, crept to the bed, and then lifted the duvet on the bed and quickly got to her aunt's side.

Mary's aunt pinched Mary's smiling nose and asked with a look of pity, "Is my little Mary going to sleep with grandma tonight?" ”

"Hmm." Mary snorted, then burrowed into her aunt's arms.

Mary's aunt put her arm around Mary and asked with a smile, "Are you tired today?" ”

"Grandma, not tired. Today I heard a very interesting story from Princess Alice and Princess Fiodora, would you like to hear it, grandma? Mary asked, tilting her head to her aunt.

"Interesting story? It seems to me that the Hohenzollerns, that is, Empress Augusta, are quite noble and interesting people, and of course the Crown Princess Victoria and her deceased sister from England are not bad. The rest, especially the Prussian men, seemed to me to be blueskins, especially the robber chancellor. Mary's aunt said with a rather disapproving expression.

"Grandma, I'll tell you about it first, and then you can talk about it after listening..."Mary said coquettishly to her aunt and grandmother with her big blue eyes and smile.

"Alright, well, my little Mary. But you have to know grandma's taste, and I don't want to hear such a bad story. Mary's aunt shook her head helplessly.

The magical boy with a lightning bolt on his forehead eventually conquered Mary's aunt as well.

"So-so, who wrote this story?" Mary's aunt asked.

"It's Prince Waldemar." Mary replied with a smile.

"Oh, Queen Augusta's favorite grandson, is he?" Mary's aunt thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Grandma." Mary blinked her big blue eyes and asked, "Not bad, right?" ”

"Your Empress Augusta is from the homeland of Grimm's fairy tales, and her grandson is expected to inherit a little literary talent, which is barely passable." When Mary's aunt said this, she did not look disgusted with the Prussian men.

"I didn't expect that the stupid duckling I met that day would be able to make up such a beautiful story." Mary's big lake-blue eyes were smiling.

"My little Mary, you know how your aunt lost the throne, and you know how much your grandmother dislikes those blue-skinned monsters, so don't get too close to the Hohenzollern family." Mary's aunt admonished Mary.

"But Joey's story is very well written, and the dancing is fun, and I don't think it's the same as the Prussians you said grandma," Mary defended unconvinced.

Mary's aunt looked down, looked at Mary carefully, and said with a little confusion, "My little Mary, you shouldn't have fallen in love with that blue-skinned Hohenzollern bastard boy, right?!" ”

"Why! Grandma, this is something that simply does not exist! Mary furrowed her brows and glared at her aunt innocently with wide eyes, "I just think he's an interesting fellow, and he's not the same as the Prussians you talked about!" A man who can write such a beautiful story of English magic in the Hohenzollern family, have you seen it before, grandma?! ”

"That's because this bastard has a great mom from England." Mary's aunt is still prejudiced against Joey.

"Grandma, so I accepted the invitation of Princess Alice and Princess Fiodora, who have excellent mothers from England, and want to visit them tomorrow." Mary said, shaking her aunt's arm.

"Tomorrow? My little Mary, your grandmother Queen Augusta has said that tomorrow there will be a ball in the Queen's Palace. ”

"Grandma, I remember that Empress Augusta invited you too." Mary's big eyes flickered as she looked at her aunt.

"I don't want to attend a ball called by the Prussian blue-skinned monster! So are you, my little Mary. Mary's aunt said, shaking her head.

"Grandma, is it because of the prime minister?" Mary pursed her lips and smiled.

"How can I care what that robber prime minister of Xingaosen thinks! My little Mary, grandma is starting to get upset. Mary's aunt glared at Mary.

The corners of Mary's mouth curved, her big blue eyes curved, and she said with an irresistible smile, "Grandma, we have been in Germany for four days, do you think that the prime minister did not know about your arrival?" You avoid him like this, maybe he will be more proud, he must have regarded your humility as a capital that he can show off, and maybe he will tell everyone, you look at France..."

"That's it! I'm at this dance tomorrow! I'd like to see what this robber prime minister can do to me!" Mary's aunt said murderously, and only after half a sound did she come back to her senses, and it turned out that she had fallen into the little trap of her niece and granddaughter.

"Yikes! You little Mary, even grandma dares to play tricks! Don't run! ”
