Early the next morning, John's family returned to Paris with Balesson. In the luxurious compartment www.biquge.info of the train, Adele has been sullen all the time. I finally went back to my hometown once, but I had to leave after only two days, and everyone would be unhappy if I changed.

But Adele is a mother after all, and nothing is more important to her than her daughter's safety. Yesterday, little Ella was already frightened, and she was afraid that if something happened again, she didn't say much.

Little Ella looked preoccupied on the train, and she lost her former liveliness. John was still worried about whether yesterday's incident had left some psychological shadow on his daughter, so he kept holding her and trying to make her happy.

Finally, the little one spoke: "Daddy, are we going to my aunt's house?" ”

"yes, don't you like your aunt very much? My aunt misses you too, so I asked my uncle to pick us up. John replied.

"But I haven't prepared a gift for my aunt yet." The little guy had a tangled expression on his face, "I told my aunt last time that I wanted to bring her a gift." ”

It turned out that Ella had been worried about this matter, and John's previous worries could be put aside.

Seeing that her father didn't talk, Little Ella became even more anxious: "Mom said that you must do what you promise to others." ”

Now not only John, but even Balezund on the side were amused by her.

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad are ready for you." Yesterday's apology included several pieces of fine jewelry, including a sapphire necklace that was part of the royal collection of Louis XIV. It is estimated that Duvière's ancestor, who was a general under Napoleon, scavenged it from some royal nobleman.

Adele is the kind of woman who is a small jasper-type woman, and she doesn't quite match this royal style of court jewelry. She had consulted with John the previous night and gave the jewelry to Cousin Consuelo as a thank you gift. Now take out one and say that Ella gave it to you.

At the strong request of the little one, Adele took out the pieces of jewelry from her bag and asked Ella to choose them herself. John has seen it, and sure enough, no matter what age women are, their immunity to jewelry is not much higher. Little Ella looked left and right, and struggled for a long time before finally choosing the most valuable sapphire necklace.

The little guy has a good eye, and it is a former duchess like Consuelo who can handle this necklace. John silently gave his daughter a thumbs up for her taste. How to identify and match jewelry is a compulsory course for a celebrity. John: They haven't officially arranged for a teacher to teach Ella this, but the little guy seems to be quite talented in this area.

For the next few days, John's family of three stayed at the estate of his cousin's family. John now has a wound on his face, and it is not easy for him to go out to meet customers. He could only honestly stay at his cousin's house for "self-reflection".

This experience did sound the alarm bell for John, although he has always covered it up well, he will still inadvertently expose some of the "dick" nature of his previous life. He secretly reminded himself that he is now a big entrepreneur, not the little courier who sat on the side of the street after work in his previous life, and acted like a "big man".

was slapped in the face this time, largely because John was troublesome and did not act according to the rules of high society. Generally, a child of a big family like him, every time he goes to a strange place, he must first make an appearance in the local upper-class circle. Let everyone know that there is such a person, and avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings.

As a result, John quietly ran away to Lyon, as if he had traveled freely in his previous life. You haven't even lit up the font size, do you still blame others for "having eyes and not knowing Mount Tai"? Who can blame if you are slapped in the face? If it weren't for the support of his sister and brother-in-law, he would have suffered a dumb loss this time.

And John's handling this time was also very inappropriate, cousin Consuelo had tactfully criticized him, and this kind of thing was not something that a person of his status should do. As soon as he made a move, he first lowered himself to the level of those few gentlemen. Don't look at the big bosses of the Leon family who were very respectful when they apologized to him, and they would definitely not look down on him when they turned around.

John needed to learn from the family's founder, Cornelius Sr. During the American Civil War, when George, the family successor carefully cultivated by Cornelius Sr., died unexpectedly, the outside world thought that this old man would collapse in the blow. Some competitors began to covet the Vanderbilt family's estate, and various conspiracies emerged.

Cornelius Sr. did not get angry, and while he let Grandpa William, who had never touched the family business at the time, and the gang of competitors make false accusations, he secretly controlled the only railroad bridge from New York to the outside world. Then, Cornelius Sr. risked the world's condemnation and brazenly cut off the lifeline of New York by force, gambling with the entire New York City and starting to fight with competitors.

No matter how much the government and other family bigwigs tried to persuade him, Cornelius Sr. was unmoved, and the blockade was not lifted until the companies that dared to commit crimes against the Vanderbilt family were completely bankrupt. For many years after that, no one dared to provoke the Vanderbilt family.

What John lacks now is this kind of usual quiet, as soon as he makes a move, he will be a group of evils, and he will obey everyone. is always so hot and sharp, and he can only be a small role in the front desk, and he can't get to the core table behind the scenes.

At present, the career of FedEx has provided John with a good basic platform, and the two events of beating Henry Ford Sr. and promoting the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act have also made him shine in the American business and political circles. What John has to do below is to secretly accumulate energy and save a few more hole cards in his hand.

At the end of the day, John also found a weakness of his own. He's still too dependent on his family. Don't look at him, he seems to have jumped out of the family business to start a business, and he seems quite independent. In fact, he has always relied on the residual shade of the family to be so moisturized. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deal with even the old Henry Ford dog.

It's not that John can't use the family's resources, but he should get his hands on some of his own resources as soon as possible. You can't just find your brothers and sisters if you have something, isn't this a little kid who lets the adults follow behind and wipe your buttocks?

The money thing is okay, as FedEx develops, his dependence on the family will become less and less. The key is networking, and he has to use the family's platform to build his own network.

Looking back, William and Harold are really good brothers of the century, and they have always done their best to match John. He was recommended to join Freemasonry again, and he was introduced to political advisers, and John really didn't know how blessed he was.

With this in mind, John began to carefully organize his existing network. Aside from Walter's old subordinates, Cornelius Jr., who is in charge of the think tank team, and Reilly, who is in charge of the White Mountain Brigade, John really doesn't have many connections on his own now.

Little Tom of the Watson family counts as one, Hughes counts as one, and Edsel doesn't necessarily speak well at Ford, only half. Other Freemasonic "brothers" such as Edgar Hoover, his father's former friend Stimson, Marshal MacArthur in the Philippines, Donovan who was busy researching everywhere, FDA Director Campbell who fought together, and the son-in-law of the Song family, the reliability of these connections still has to be questioned. Even if John felt that his relationship with Pearl Race and Dean Dunant of Harvard Business School was not as reliable, at least there was little chance of a conflict of interest between John and them.

Of course, networking still depends on how to run it. The so-called personal feelings are just icing on the cake most of the time, and the key is to be able to establish sufficient interest binding relationships. There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although this sentence is vulgar, it is an eternal truth. Even the old man Degano could secretly calculate John before, let alone outsiders.

John's connections in Europe are even worse than his connections in the United States. In fact, apart from his sister, brother-in-law, and General Giraud, who was only related to each other, he basically didn't know anyone else. Cousin Consuelo said that it was already a surprise that she could help him get in touch with Churchill. Before coming to Europe, he was only thinking about how to deal with the Foundation's property and reduce future losses in the war, and he didn't even think about making any contacts in Europe.

Networking is a "long-term investment", and it will not work to rely on temporary cramming. It's not too late for John to wake up now, otherwise he might have bled into a bloody mess if he wanted to take advantage of the "Marshall Plan" to make a big impact in Europe after the war.

John began to wonder in his heart, who should he "invest" in? Charles de Gaulle is certainly not good, for Americans, the "father of the nation" of the French Fifth Republic is a "white-eyed wolf" that cannot be fed.

General Giraud is a good candidate. Before the war, his status was much higher than that of Charles de Gaulle, a colonel, but unfortunately he was unlucky and was captured for more than two years before escaping. De Gaulle's grass stage team was all set up, and he only joined halfway, even if President Roosevelt was behind his back. In addition, the old man was not in good health, and he never fought de Gaulle in the end.

Apart from these two, who else are potential stocks? John was in trouble, and the memory of French history in his previous life was too little.
