Ernst Wenbert, who was sitting with Otto Franz and the shop manager over coffee, quietly leaned over and said the price, and couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged manager.

The middle-aged manager also had a certain status in Vienna, although he did not have a knighthood, but he was also a very influential guy in Viennese industry and commerce, and even an archduke like Otto Franz had to give a face or two.

Of course, giving is not fear or fear of anything, after all, there is nothing in the position of Otto Franz that will make him afraid, and giving face is just a kind of respect for them. Moreover, at a time when even Otto Franz's position is financially constrained, the influence of industry and commerce is particularly important at this time.

In fact, not to mention Otto Franz, even Archduke Ferdinand was quite face-saving when these industries and commerce did not infringe on their interests.

Bert's arrival and Ernst's actions naturally all fell into the eyes of the middle-aged manager, a businessman as cunning as the middle-aged manager, he understood at a glance that it was time to negotiate a specific business.

"If Prince Ernst is willing to put everything for sale with us, then I can add a layer to the estimated price."

After all, Archduke Ferdinand was the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, and it was absolutely advantageous to befriend Ernst at this time, even if Otto Franz was nearby.

The addition of a layer is close to 10,000 pounds, and the middle-aged manager was able to come up with this price, which really surprised Ernst, but he soon understood that maybe the middle-aged manager would not think that he had anything too valuable.

With a secret smile in his heart, Ernst replied with an embarrassed look: "In this case, then I am willing to complete this transaction." ”

Ernst extended a hand of friendship, and the middle-aged manager was naturally happy to shake it, but he had no idea that he had lost more than 10,000 pounds just because of his words.

Bert continued to negotiate the price, while Ernst stayed here to chat with Otto Franz and the middle-aged manager, while the Sophie and Maisimilian looked at the goods in the shop with relish.

"Some time ago the king of Italy was assassinated, and as a result, a batch of our goods was not brought back in time, and the loss was more than six thousand pounds."

The middle-aged manager's somewhat depressed words made the corners of Ernst's mouth flutter, You only lost 6,000 pounds in the assassination of the king of Italy, but you lost 10,000 pounds just now, I don't know what your expression was when you learned the result.

Bert negotiated the management price quickly, £96,000 was the final closing price, and according to the middle-aged manager, adding another layer would be an increase of £9,600, which means that the final closing price should be £105,600.

Just now, the middle-aged manager's words Bert also heard it, so after the transaction was completed, the management hurriedly came to the middle-aged manager to inquire, and the middle-aged manager couldn't help but change his face when he learned the final transaction price.

This is just a middle-aged property, and his overall net worth is more than 100,000 pounds, if it is not for this, he would not be able to gain the respect of Otto Franz.

But even such a rich man could not accept a loss of nearly ten thousand pounds, as Ernst had just thought, and six thousand pounds kept him depressed and unable to sleep all night, and this ten thousand pounds ......

He wanted to say something, but looking at Ernst, at Otto Franz, at the two princes, at Mesimilian and Sophie, the middle-aged manager could only admit that he was unlucky.

With a wry smile, he watched the management trade a box of pounds to Bert, and his heart was in severe pain at this time in middle age, if it weren't for Ernst's identity, I believe he would definitely have the urge to snatch it.

Because Ernst rejected paper money, the box was full of coins. But it was clear that this was not enough for the £105,600, and the rest of the middle-aged would be sent to the palace in three days.

Middle-aged people don't mean to drag on and flee to other countries, after all, none of them are worth it, not to mention his fixed fortune of hundreds of thousands of pounds in Vienna, even that box of jewels can sell for 150,000 pounds if it is sold slowly, or even more.

The distress is just that as a Jew, he values his interests, after all, it is not worth spending 10,000 pounds just to befriend the second son of the crown prince, and if it were replaced by Archduke Ferdinand, I believe he would have another idea.

Of course, no one knows, and the middle-aged man will only understand the correctness of his deal this time, and Archduke Ferdinand is far less potential than Ernst.

Businessmen invest, wealth is the lowest return project, politics is the highest rate of return investment, because once you succeed then monopoly is just a matter of words for you.

Monopolize! This is the synonym for wealth, and even a monopoly on the most worthless thing is millions of pounds of wealth, and that's just one country!

After the deal was completed, Ernst naturally did not want to stay bored here, and on the recommendation of Otto Franz, Ernst decided to go to the opera house, and the Sophie county lord chose to approve of Otto Franz for the first time.

Vienna is a musical paradise, so what's the point of coming to Vienna without a concert? That's what many people have to say about Vienna.

The gentlemen in tuxedos, the workers in gray suits, and the city service workers on the streets, although different from the prosperity of Florence and Rome, also have their own characteristics, that is, the citizens who live here are much more leisurely, relaxed and happy.

Ernst guessed that it had something to do with the prevalence of music here and the banks of the Danube outside the city, where music made people relaxed and happy, while the sky-blue Danube made people much more relaxed.

The Royal Court Theatre in Vienna is one of the most famous opera houses in the world, known as the "World Opera Center" and the main symbol of Vienna. The Vienna State Opera is one of the four largest opera houses in the world. The opera house was built in 1861 and took eight years to complete on the Vienna Ring Road.

This is Ernst's destination, and looking at the somewhat quaint gray walls on the outside, it is hard for Ernst to imagine that the inside is so luxurious and magnificent.

The entire theater covers an area of 9,000 square meters, with six floors of auditorium, a total of 1,642 seats upstairs and downstairs, 567 standing spaces in the back, and more than 100 boxes on the third floor. In the center of the theater is the stage, with a total area of 1,508 square meters, consisting of 3 parts: the front stage, the side stage and the back stage. The total height of the stage is 53 meters and the depth is 50 meters. The stage can automatically swing, rise, and close, and the orchestra pit is also very large, and it can accommodate a band of 110 people. The opera house has 2 ballet practice halls and 3 troupe practice halls, a rehearsal stage of 364 square meters, 10 soloist practice rooms, 1 large organ room, and dozens of actors' dressing rooms.

Ernst had already had a concert going on when they arrived, and if it weren't for Archduke Otto Franz, they probably wouldn't have been able to get in, because he couldn't go around saying that he was the son of Archduke Ferdinand!

Because of their status, the waiters placed them in the best possible position, which was the orchestral concert "Famous Singers of Nuremberg" conducted by the Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini.
