Harpy is a German-Jew, doing a small business in Germany, which is relatively successful, so many years of earning belongings, I heard that the East is full of gold, took the principal of 10,000 marks, borrowed 20,000 marks, and bought a batch of pianos, thinking about harvesting his pot of gold in the East, but did not expect that after arriving in Shanghai, I found that Shanghai and the East were originally such a city, and there was no market for pianos at all.

The funds in the hands are getting less and less, even the days can not go on, guard the piano in the hand, but helpless, can not sell one, the current popularity in the East is cotton, cotton yarn, matches, cement, and even guns and ammunition, but there is no lack of this so-called artwork, the piano is afraid that the whole of Shanghai, will not exceed 20 units, most of them, in foreigners or elegant cafes, are basically saturated, hard work, have not sold one in the Far East.

No way, the entanglement is about to run out, I found a few friends, at most I funded him some money, as for the sale of the piano, not to mention the sales price, even if it is a loss, no one wants, every day, I can only have a drink in the bar in the afternoon.

"Hello sir, may I sit down?" A nice voice, which seemed to have a pure tone, Harpy opened his eyes, and through his dim eyes, he saw a tall and handsome Oriental, standing next to him, different from this submissive people of the Qing Kingdom, he seemed to be very calm, and there was only equality in his eyes, not a low or a frightened expression.

"Hello, Japanese?" In his only Japanese, Harpy asked tentatively, "This is what he learned on the boat with a German who returned to Japan."

"No, I'm not Japanese, I'm Chinese!" Yang Yuanzhao replied in German.

German, which is the second foreign language mastered by Yang Yuanzhao, the German engine is well-known in the whole world, in order to grasp the trend and pulse of the engine in the whole world, Yang Yuanzhao mastered German, but he didn't expect it to be used here.

Hearing the long-lost German, Harpy's eyes widened and he asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Am I the one who came to help you?" Yang Yuanzhao said seriously.

Harpy finally woke up a little drunk, and felt that business was coming to the door, and the Jews had a business nature in their bones, so he sat up straight, tidied up his clothes, and said, "The piano I represent is from the medieval court ......."

"Okay, don't talk about your piano, I don't buy a piano!" Yang Yuanzhao interrupted Harpy's gushing without hesitation and said categorically.

Yang Yuanzhao's words seemed to have taken away the backbone of the harpy at once, and he was a little depressed again, and muttered: "I know that I am not the life of a businessman!" ”

"Who said you weren't destined to be a businessman, I want to find someone to work with, I don't know if Mr. Harpy is willing?"

Looking for someone to work with, Harpy said with a little vigilance: "What are you going to do!" ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's go somewhere else to talk!"

Harpy was a little blank, mechanically followed Yang Yuanzhao, came to the outside of the bar, called two rickshaws, and quickly left this low-grade bar street.

The rickshaw went up and down, and every qiē on the road seemed to be far away from him, and he didn't even know where he was.

The rickshaw drivers moved forward quickly, and soon, they arrived at a block next to the core of the French Concession, which is completely different from the place just now, this is not only the most elite place of the French Concession, almost all French foreign houses are here, and this is also a place where entertainment venues and hotels are concentrated, when Harpy first arrived in China, he lived on this street, but gradually, with the shyness of his pocket, he quickly moved out of this place, and now, it is in a slump.

The rickshaw parked outside the Huizhong Hotel, Harpy knew here, there was a Frenchman-owned restaurant on the second floor here, French dinner was all the rage in Shanghai, not only the huge wealth of the concession, but also some Chinese businessmen would patronize, a foie gras meal, worth 100 eagles, even if Harpy was at the most developed, he never thought that he would come here to eat, 100 marks at a time, and his entire funds were only 20,000 marks, and then he simply lost almost everything.

"Sir, what are you?"

"Eat, what, you don't like it here, then change to another house!" Yang Yuanzhao tilted his head and said, "Do you know what you are good at cooking German food?" ”

"Then here it is!" Harpy didn't know what Yang Yuanzhao was going to do, but he wisely decided not to speak, he found that this was an opportunity, he had already lost his pants, and what could he be valued by others.

Harpy mechanically followed Yang Yuanzhao and entered this luxurious hotel, to be honest, the two people did not look like people who could enter the Huizhong Hotel, but all the French waiters did not say much, warmly welcomed them in, let them enjoy the same VIP treatment, Yang Yuanzhao nodded secretly, sure enough, it is a good business, just this, will make a large number of Chinese flock to it, in this small hotel, there are not many empty places, half of them are foreigners, half are Chinese, It was lunch time, and they were all busy eating.

"I want foie gras, black caviar ......" Yang Yuanzhao looked at the menu in French, proficient in reporting the dishes, French is also one of the foreign languages he knows, not as proficient as German, it is no problem to deal with this menu.

Yang Yuanzhao put down the recipe, looked at the Harpy who was still stunned, and said, "I'm done, what do you eat?" ”

Harpy looked at Yang Yuanzhao in amazement, Yang Yuanzhao can use fluent German, has surprised him, French also understands, the most important thing is that he orders is also very appropriate, Harpy knows a lot of vassal elegant Chinese, it seems to pretend to order a lot, they don't know, French meal, there are specific rules, such as pre-dinner soup, main course, interdish, etc., Harpy himself is also half-understood, he saw the French waiter surprised almost closed his mouth, obviously, Yang Yuanzhao ordered right, very familiar.

"If only I wanted the same!"

The menu was handed over to the waiter, Yang Yuanzhao began to look at the surrounding environment, compared with the luxurious French restaurant in later generations, this restaurant is much worse, but in this era, it is already synonymous with high-end, all French waiters are used, French ordering, an original French flavor.

Yang Yuanzhao ordered a classic French meal, the speed of serving was not slow, very fast, all kinds of dishes were placed on his table, Harpy looked at Yang Yuanzhao with a complicated expression, this meal, at least 300 marks, even if he was full of ambition when he set off from Germany, he would not be so extravagant, but he did not expect that when he arrived in the East, he was poor and destitute, but he enjoyed such a delicious taste.

Putting aside the idea of a qiē, anyway, enjoying it first, Harpy began to take a knife and fork and eat it in a big gulp.

Yang Yuanzhao has actually been observing Harpy since the bar, he wants to find a collaborator, find a foreign executor, an ordinary bankrupt, definitely not his choice, he needs a person with vision, and can fully execute his will, observed for 3 days, and finally entered his eyes, a total of 7 people, in the end, he still chose Harpy, because, in Harpy's body, he saw a lot of Jewish qualities, which is also the root of his determination.

Neither of them spoke, just eating a big meal there silently, to be honest, this French meal was good, I followed the team all over the world, and I also went to the most authentic French Parisian restaurant, compared to this, it was not much higher, in the early 20th century, all kinds of ingredients have not been extinct,

Basically, it is all natural, no chemical fertilizers and other fertilizers have been used, it can be said to be authentic, plus the owner of this French restaurant has copied the French operating procedures as it is, and even the chef is a well-known French chef, so it can be so perfect.

Yang Yuanzhao tasted the taste carefully, and nodded incessantly, as for Harpy, he hadn't eaten enough for many days, he finished his meal like a storm, Harpy sat there and didn't move, as if he was a lamb to the slaughter, waiting for Yang Yuanzhao's verdict, not to mention anything else, just such a meal, it was enough to hire him, now he is not a businessman in Germany, he is a standard bankrupt, if he didn't go to the Far East, in Germany, what awaits him now is the end of going to prison, It's just a debt of 20,000 marks, which weighs on him like a mountain.
