Four hundred and twenty-five. Winery and company
Paris, Château Margaux.
The representative of Parisian high society, Pipondou of Château Margaux. Hee Gang, and the chairman of the company, Will. Timland raised the wine glass in his hand together:
"For the Baron!"
"For the Baron!"
The two of them drank the wine in one gulp, which was such a happy thing.
Baron, it's back!
God, they've been waiting for him for more than twenty years, and now, their benefactor has finally returned!
What could be more gratifying?
"Look, I said the baron would be back." Even though he behaved extremely seriously in front of others, at this moment, in front of his best friend, Pipondu still revealed his usual nature: "I have known for a long time that Baron Lu Dao will return, and I have already prophesied. ”
"Come on, Pipondu, you're not going to do anything but brag." Will smiled and said, "Do you remember what happened ten years ago? You were drunk that day, and you cried and said, the baron is dead, and the baron will not come back. It's useless for me to persuade you, have you forgotten? ”
"Hey, hey, Will, you can't talk such nonsense!" Pipondu's eyes widened: "If there is anyone in this world who is more persistent in the belief that the Baron will not die, it is me, understand?" ”
Two Frenchmen, who wield great wealth, began to babble and argue like two children.
"Mr. Pipondu, Mr. Pippondu."
It was above the winery's cellar, and someone shouted through the intercom tube.
"What to do? I told don't bother me! Pipondu was very unhappy to be disturbed.
"It's German."
The voice silenced Pipondu and Will
Another voice came from the intercom tube: "The Germans know that you are in the cellar." He told you to wait for him right here. ”
"Damn, do you want to come and beat me up for the idea?" Looking at the wine cellar with so many fine wines that he had carefully brewed, Pipondou suddenly became distressed.
But before he could react. The cellars have been pushed open
A man in a German military uniform appeared
The lights in the cellar were dim, and it was not possible to see what the Germans looked like
"My friends, you're going to enjoy it"
When the sound reached Pipondu and Will's ears, the two men froze as if they had been struck by lightning
O God, O God!
They hadn't heard it in more than twenty years, and they even thought they would never hear it again in their lives
And now. Did this voice really appear, was it in a dream?
Step by step, the German walked down
When he finally stood in front of the two men, Pipondu and Will found themselves in tears
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Brahm!
Some people call him Baron Skull, but the French like to call him a more romantic nickname:
Baron Rose!
He's still so young. It's still so full of charm, the enemy is not his opponent, and the years are not his opponent either.
Pipondu and Will were not in the least surprised, for it seemed to them that any miracle could happen to the Baron
The baron stretched out his arms: "My friends. Shouldn't we have a hug when we see each other again? ”
Three big men. Tightly hugged each other!
"Oh, Baron, we all thought you were dead, no, no, I always thought you were alive, it was Will who thought you were dead!"
"Don't listen to Pipondu, he only brags, only brags! Baron. Baron, you're finally back! We all thought you had abandoned us! ”
Pipondu and Will cried and laughed loudly. I let out my emotions in this wine cellar
The Baron saved their lives, the Baron gave them money to fulfill their dreams, and no French man was more grateful than they were for everything the Baron had brought them!
"Alright, alright, my friends." Wang Weiyi let go of them: "Don't you think you should give me a glass of wine?" ”
"Aha, yes!" Pipondu proudly poured a large glass of wine for the Baron in the barrel: "Come, Baron, try the best bar in the world, this is far more precious than the clothes that Will makes that can only deceive fools!" ”
"You're just talking nonsense." Will wiped his eyes: "Baron, do you know the way, you have made a fortune." ”
"Oh, rich? This is the best news I've heard since I arrived in France. Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
The three of them sat down, and Will immediately said, "Château Margaux and Montegaux are doing very well, and our profits are very huge. In the United States, in the United Kingdom, there are products everywhere, and the investment you made has now become a pretty large number, and if there is no war, this wealth will continue to increase like a snowball."
Wang Weiyi's concept of money is very weak now, and wealth is nothing to him.
He had five hundred tons of gold in the Ziguang military base, so many treasures, and in the United States, he also had the terrifying wealth of the Wittgenstein family.
Still, it's a pleasure to own half of the world-famous brands Château Margaux and Montegaux
He listened to the excited Will and Pippondu and asked, "After the Germans entered Paris, were you affected, and did the Germans embarrass you?" ”
"Look, our baron says entry, not occupation." Pipondu said with a smile.
If other Germans had said such things, they would have thought it was deliberate, but the Baron was definitely an exception.
"The impact will definitely be there." Will said frankly: "The Germans demanded that we be fully compatible with them. Even more odious than the Germans were our own compatriots, who at one time wanted to confiscate our property. Then we approached General Ovitz of the Gestapo, who was only a colonel at the time, and we told him that we knew you and that we still had a stake in you in our winery and company, and although he was not convinced, he stopped the French government from doing so."
Pipondu shook the glass in his hand: "German officers, Gestapo, French police, always find all kinds of excuses to come to my winery and take a lot of good wine. Baron, that's really good wine! ”
"It won't happen again." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "I will secretly order that no one shall infringe on your interests again." Don't forget, I also have a stake here, and your loss is my loss. ”
Will and Pipondu laughed.
As soon as the baron returned, all problems were solved
The three of them chatted for a while, and Wang Weiyi suddenly asked, "Do you recognize the members of the French Resistance?" ”
Will and Pipondu suddenly became embarrassed.
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will arrest you for this? Wang Weiyi smiled.
"Oh no, how could we be worried about this?" Pipondu hurriedly said: "It's just a little embarrassing to discuss this issue in front of a German field marshal. Let's be honest, we've identified the Resistance, and we've saved the lives of some of them. Baron, you have learned that we are French anyway. ”
Wang Weiyi nodded: "Yes, I can completely understand this. You have learned that the Gestapo is arresting members of the Resistance everywhere, and I don't want you to be implicated. I don't need you to betray those people. But I must warn you that you must be careful, for I will soon leave Paris, for fear that someone will come to you for trouble. ”
"Oh, what's there to worry about?" Will didn't care too much: "Does anyone dare to disobey the baron's orders?" ”
"The Germans will obey, but the French may not." Wang Weiyi's expression became serious: "I am so anxious to come to you today because I have just learned that the French secret police have blacklisted you, and I strictly order that no one shall violate your life and property, but I believe that you will be monitored." Listen to me, my friends, go about your business and don't let anything else get in your way. And try not to have any more dealings with the Resistance, they are also using you."
Will and Pipondu nodded silently.
The smile returned to Wang Weiyi's face: "Come on, tell me, how is your business developing in the United States?" ”
"It's okay, it was going very well, but the sudden arrival of the war disrupted the rhythm of our expansion." Will immediately said: "We opened twelve branches and factories in the United States, and we wanted to do a big job, but after the fall of Paris, the plan was completely disrupted, and now we have some cash problems. ”
"I'll figure it out for you." Wang Weiyi thought for a moment and said: "In France, with the current situation, it will become very difficult for you to develop further, but in the United States, this situation will be quickly changed. I suggest that you gradually move your company's main business to the United States. As for funding? I can continue to invest more. ”
Will and Pippen Du suddenly became excited.
The Baron solved their big trouble as soon as he returned. In France, it is indeed too difficult for the winery and the company to develop further in the current situation.
And the United States is obviously a very good place to go, which has not been affected by the war in any way so far.
Wang Weiyi raised the cup in his hand and said to his two wealth creators: "For wealth, cheers!" ”
"Cheers to riches!" (To be continued.) )
