For Gao Hongsheng, Paris can only be a hurried passer-by, if it weren't for those famous paintings and business with the owner of the Oriental Train, he would probably have crossed Paris and went straight to Berlin, Germany. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the 19th century, the central cities of Europe were not ideal tourist destinations, and countless large chimneys, symbolizing industrial civilization, puffed out black smoke that obscured the sky and the sun, so that you could not even feel the warmth of the sun during the day.

The city's sewerage and sanitation systems are not yet widespread, and garbage and urine can be seen everywhere, and the rampant sewage is all over the streets, making people have to jump carefully on the streets.

The poor children took over the streets early, and whenever there was a man in the street who looked like a rich man, they would flock to it, stretching out their poor little hands, begging for a generous hand, and when you gave alms to one of the children, you would find that you were surrounded by a crowd of children.

A few children struggling to wipe their high boots around the corner of the street, waving their brushes vigorously, vigilantly observing the other side of the street, every time the two uniformed policemen came around with batons, the children in the whole street disappeared into the surrounding buildings like a flock of frightened birds.

In a hurry, Albert couldn't rent a better office space, so he had to rent a three-story building in a slightly remote place to serve as the headquarters of the Paris company, the top floor of the headquarters was Gao Hongsheng's office, and he was now bored climbing on the windowsill, looking through the thick glass windows at the scene on the street below.

After seeing the beautiful Paris of the later generations, compared to the dirty and chaotic Paris now, he completely lost interest after a day of playing with Felia, and was left alone in the office to watch the scenery boringly.

The whole building is unusually quiet, basically everyone goes out to be busy, Lin Daiyu was sent to the embassy of the Great Qing Kingdom by Brooke, she has to go to visit one or two first, and then see if she can hire a few French translators from there, this will be her stage from now on.

In terms of nature, she is a person who is good at traveling and socializing in Gao Hongsheng's mind, and who is the most married and the most able to spend money among the girls in Shangjing Beach in the nineteenth century, should belong to Lin Daiyu, to put it simply, Gao Hongsheng positioned her as a money-spending machine, a money-spending machine that reflects his company's unlimited financial resources.

And Jin Xiaobao judging from the records of later generations, is a good woman who keeps her business, and can judge the situation from a concubine to marry a wishful husband to the end of her life, which shows that she is quite smart and not confused by a moment of vanity, so of course such a person will be thrown in the port of Le Hafe to watch the house, responsible for the specific affairs of the whole Europe to make money for everyone,

As for Bo Caiyun, she is an official courtesan, who let her originally be the wife of the minister of the four countries, and the purpose of bringing her out is to enter the upper class of European society, and her job is to deal with those official figures and escort the smooth operation of the company.

Albert hurried to the Austro-Hungarian embassy early in the morning, first to inquire about Princess Sissi's itinerary, Gao Hongsheng hoped to meet Her Royal Highness the Empress in Vienna, but at present, there is very bad news, and the embassy staff do not know where Her Royal Highness is now?

This Royal Highness the Queen is really a little too out of tune, since her eldest son committed suicide, she has become a traveler, and she also likes to run around in private visits, which is really a headache for her whereabouts.

Second, he also had to go to the German embassy to hand over a letter of worship under the banner of Bo Caiyun hoping to visit the Kaiser, Gao Hongsheng wanted to take a look at His Royal Highness the Emperor who stirred up the world, and at the same time to brush up Bo Caiyun's prestige.

John is still busy cleaning up Lin Daiyu's private club, yes, it is a private club, a three-story villa rented by a declining old nobleman, with a large area, the villa alone has seven or eight hundred square meters, if you count any garden, horse sheds and other ancillary facilities, it covers an area of nearly ten acres, which cost Gao Hongsheng a total of 100,000 francs, if you buy it, it will cost at least 100,000 pounds, Gao Hongsheng is not ready to buy a house in Europe, so everything is rented.

Except for the necessary housekeepers, the rest of the people were dragged by Felia to form a huge luxury tour group, ostentatiously working as vacuum cleaners in the famous places of Paris, working hard to clean the filthy air of 19th-century Paris.

As a result, Gao Hongsheng, who had nothing to do and didn't want to go out as a vacuum cleaner, became a janitor, staying alone in the office on the top floor to watch the scenery.

In the afternoon, when Gao Hongsheng was dozing off in front of the fireplace, Lin Daiyu and Brooke pushed the door and came in angrily, and as soon as they entered the door, they yelled at Gao Hongsheng: "I said don't pay attention to those officials and old men, you just don't listen, you don't say anything in vain, and you just want to take advantage, and you don't even pluck a single hair from an iron rooster." ”

"What's the matter, why did you get so angry, shouldn't you be unlucky?"

"I gave a 10 pound entrance fee when I entered the door, I met a counselor and gave me a hundred pounds, I talked to me about Fengyue, and I borrowed a translator several times, but people didn't even pay attention to it, and always took the word away, obviously I still wanted to take a pinch, and I came back when I was angry, isn't it just a translation? It's also on it. ”

"Forget it, they are used to pinching in the country, there is not even a person to pinch here, I see you coldly, it is not the same as a cat smelling fish, forget it, Brooke, you go to the document on the table with the address of the news agency to check the newspaper in Paris and be familiar with us, go and say hello to the newspaper to recruit Chinese translation, it is not a big deal, just don't deal with them in the future."

Brooke hurriedly ran to the table to find the document, checked it, grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down, hurriedly pinched the paper and went out to contact, he also needed to brush his presence in front of the high shopkeeper, otherwise the million pounds would fly.

Lin Daiyu didn't care about Brooke's affairs, now that other foreign devils are busy, he is the most leisurely, if he doesn't do something again, she is afraid that the shopkeeper will kick him out.

She then complained, "Ah! I thought that when I went abroad, I finally found my mother's home, but the result turned out to be like this, I will never go again, you don't see it, you hold my hand and don't let me go, look at it, if it weren't for Brooke to follow, I can come back today or not. ”

"Miscalculated, miscalculated, blame me, blame me. I forgot that you are the number one in Beijing, and you can't hide from those officials, but today you actually sent it yourself, it seems that there will be trouble in the future. ”

"What trouble, it should really be in the Great Qing Kingdom! I didn't look down on them in the concession in Beijing, and I was afraid of them in Paris, and I didn't get along so well with the little woman when I was in a hurry. Lin Daiyu snorted and said.

"Okay, if you can't get angry with them, if you don't mess with us, forget it, and if you provoke you in the future, I'll beat them up in a sack. While your private club has not yet been renovated, do you familiarize yourself with your business first, and see those thick albums on the table? That's for you. ”

"What is this?" Lin Daiyu walked to the edge of the table, reached out and took a thick album, and asked before she opened it.

But before Gao Hongsheng could answer, she flipped through the album casually and turned out to be a naked girl's shower, her face turned red, and then she peeked at Gao Hongsheng, turned around and held the album and said to him: "Shopkeeper Gao, is this album?" ”

"Hmmm! It's all on the table, you have a good look, but be careful not to take these albums out, you can only look at them in the room, don't let anyone else look through them, you just know for yourself, not even Brooke. And you pay attention to the signatures on those paintings, don't get me wrong. Your future job is to find ways to collect these oil paintings, and it will be up to you to eat and drink spicy food. Gao Hongsheng shrank in the big sofa and said without raising his head.

In fact, what he didn't say was that he could only rely on Lin Daiyu's ability to eat and drink spicy food in the future.

Lin Daiyu is much stronger than Gao Hongsheng for painting, and he can paint a Chinese landscape painting with a pen, and he is also a little curious about Western oil paintings.

In the following days, Gao Hongsheng was curled up in the big sofa and listened to Brooke read the newspaper drowsily, so as to pass the boring days. But Lin Daiyu was forced to tirelessly remember those Western paintings.

The others were even more busy one by one, and Felia led her luxury tour group to continue to swagger through the streets of Paris, but the daily cost slowly increased from 10,000 francs a day to more than 50,000 francs a day.

John was still busy working on the damn villa, painting it, changing the interiors, adding some trinkets, and going all over the world to find butlers, cooks, coachmen, gardeners, servants, and other staff to fill the big empty room.

Brooke ran newspapers and news agencies every day, translating those French newspapers into English, and then he translated them into Chinese to read to Gao Hongsheng, and finally fed back Gao Hongsheng's opinions to the newspaper office, so that the new drugs he brought were always fresh.

After Albert contacted Georgia Najim, the owner of the Eastern Train, not only did he need to continue to arrange Gao Hongsheng's follow-up journey, but he also had to be busy with the sales of drugs and follow up on the application of those patents.

However, Albert never complained to Gao Hongsheng, but was full of energy every day, looking at the ever-thickening sales statements, watching the deposits in the bank continue to grow, and he was happy and happy every day.

A week later, Lin Daiyu began her official departure with 20,000 pounds and two recruited translators, but her task was to visit studios and art dealers to see if there were any paintings and works of art worth buying, and to familiarize herself with the prices of art in this era.
