The triumphal hall on the second floor is a hall with two hundred square meters, the decoration here can not only be described by the brilliance, the decoration here is simple and elegant, and makes people feel beautiful, flashy but not vulgar, luxurious but not charming, under the glow of a huge golden chandelier hanging down from the high ceiling in the middle, whether it is people or all kinds of exquisite items and furniture, even the walls, are shrouded in a layer of faint gold.

At this time, the reception in the Triumph Hall had already begun for a while, and there were about forty or fifty men and women, old and young, blond, blue-eyed, high-nosed, deep-eyed foreigners gathered in the hall, these people were in groups of three, all holding large goblets full of golden beer, or standing or sitting on the ground talking to each other, talking happy foreigners, from time to time laughing, the atmosphere here is much more lively than downstairs.

What surprised Qin Chuan the most was that there was an authentic foreigner in the crowd who was drinking beer with blond hair and blue eyes, but he was wearing a standard set of official uniforms of the fourth grade of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Qin Chuan looked around, and in the hall he only saw four yellow-skinned Chinese, one was a middle-aged man in his forties in a navy blue horse coat, who was talking to another Chinese who was slightly shorter and dressed in a suit, while sipping a beer. The other is Ye Ziqi of Rui Ji Foreign Company, who is laughing loudly with an obese man in a suit and braids.

As soon as he entered the hall, Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, among the foreigners in these suits and leather shoes in the hall, many of their shirts were white and bright, Qin Chuan could see that this was all sewn with Aurora brand colored cloth, which could rinse the white cloth into a fluorescent snow white, and only by using his additional process and using the colored cloth dyed and finished with fluorescent brightener could such an effect be achieved. If you look closely, even the brightly colored suits on some of them are colored fabrics from his dyeing factory.

As soon as Little William and Qin Chuan came in, there was a foreigner who was not tall but very strong, with two thick black and beautiful mustaches, and smiled happily while striding up with a wine glass.

"Oh, my dear William, tell me quickly, that you have brought us that distinguished friend?"

Little William shrugged his shoulders and said with a smug smile: "Gao Lin, this friend I brought is definitely the one you are most willing to see." ”

"Oh? William, tell me, who is it? ”

Gao Lin pretended to be anxious and urged Xiao William, and nodded politely at Qin Chuan.

Xiao William said to Qin Chuan: "Qin, this is the master here today, Gao Lin, the manager of the generous and hospitable Gao Lin Foreign Bank. ”

Gao Lin's name, Qin Chuan had heard of it when he was in the concession, and Li Ming had told him about Gao Lin's career last time. Qin Chuan had a good impression of Gao Lin, who was born as a small boat owner and was able to stay in China and make a fortune quickly. Qin Chuan believes that this Gao Lin is definitely a person with courage and keen vision.

Xiao William continued: "Gao Lin, this is Qin Chuan, the owner of the famous Aurora Dyeing Factory, who used to work in my Rui Ji Foreign Company. ”

William Jr. first emphasized that Qin Chuan had done something in his foreign bank earlier, which showed that William Jr. was very proud of this matter.

"Oh!"

Gao Lin opened his mouth exaggeratedly, quickly put the wine glass in his hand on the tray held by the waiter on the side, and suddenly opened his arms.

"Oh, my dear Qin, I really didn't expect you to be so young, your colored cloth is so wonderful, you are the smartest person among the Chinese, you will definitely make a fortune."

After Gao Lin finished speaking, he came up with a bear hug, and Qin Chuan could feel that Gao Lin's arms were very powerful.

As soon as Xiao William reported Qin Chuan's name, the crowd in the hall who was talking immediately let out a low exclamation from the women.

What surprised everyone was not because Qin Chuan was the owner of the Aurora brand cloth, but because of Qin Chuan's age. In the eyes of these foreigners, Qin Chuan should at least be a middle-aged man with a Western education.

Gao Lin let go of Qin Chuan, reached out and picked up two glasses containing amber liquor from the tray held by the waiter, and handed them to Qin Chuan and Little William, and Gao Lin picked up his own cup again.

"Qin, Williams said that you lived in our Germany when you were young, which makes me very honored, and I sincerely welcome you here, come, my dear Qin, let us make friends from now on and make a toast together."

Before Qin Chuan could say a word after entering the door, he was invited to drink by the enthusiastic Gao Lin, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. But smelling the malty-scented amber beer in the cup, he couldn't help but feel a pang of joy in his heart, he hadn't touched this thing in a while.

Qin Chuan raised his glass and touched the glass with Gao Lin, and drank it all, as the slightly bitter beer flowed into his throat, Qin Chuan couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, pursed his mouth, and enjoyed the aftertaste of this pure German beer with satisfaction.

Before Qinchuan crossed, he liked to drink beer, and Qinchuan drank a lot of alcohol. When he was in military school, he liked the outdoor training sessions in the summer, and when he was down, there were large barrels of cold beer on the edge of the playground, and he could drink enough, as long as he didn't drink too much.

It's just that in this world, Qin Chuan has only drunk beer once at Little William's place. It's not that Qin Chuan is reluctant to buy it, but now you can't buy beer even if you have money, let alone authentic German beer.

Because modern beer developed in Germany, and now it is in Europe, and it is only more than 300 years ago that Prussia, that is, the current Archduke Wilhelm IV of German Bagoria, promulgated the "Beer Purity Law", and the real modern taste of pure German beer has just emerged and popularized in Europe.

Looking at Qin Chuan's comfortable enjoyment, Gao Lin became even happier.

"Oh, Qin, you still have traces of our Germany on your body, and the only people who can enjoy this wonderful beer like this are our will people."

Gao Lin didn't care about the language in his words at all, and grabbed Qin Chuan's arm.

"Qin, let me introduce you to the guests here."

Gao Lin and Xiao William accompanied Qin Chuan to shuttle among the guests in the hall, introducing the guests to Qin Chuan one by one.
