Bejean, who has been a Marseille terminal management officer for more than 30 years, knows all the major European freight companies stationed at the port of Marseille. (Usually he needed his help for some unconstitutional goods in these companies, or what goods needed to be secretly transported or people to leave, and he made a lot of money from it.) In Marseille, he belonged to the kind of rich and decent people, but not really the upper class, and for this he did not hesitate to pay a lot of money for his son to marry the old woman who was only ten years younger than him, the sole heir of the Count of Richard's family.
Bejean is very aware of everything about the life of the small town of Marseille, especially the movements of those big companies, after all, he needs to make money from this. Originally, he thought that there was something important to enter and exit, thinking that he could make a lot of money, but after finally inquiring, he realized that the boss of the Oriental Trading Company was going to come over to pick up an important person in person.
In French business and aristocratic circles, the proprietor of the Oriental Trading Company was a miracle, an enviable miracle. The boss of the Oriental Trading Company came from the mysterious and powerful Eastern Empire in the East, which was now backward and barren, and in a short period of time, he started a career in Europe, ranking among the large European companies, and then married the French royal Countess Eliza, who was known for her beauty and wisdom, and really entered the upper aristocratic circle. In recent years, he has made even greater moves, acquiring several large textile factories and machinery factories, and in the process of the British dismantling the East India Company, he secretly seized the Nordic maritime trade and part of the railway rights of Germany, Denmark, and France, and became one of the largest companies in Europe.
Compared to ordinary people, Bejean's profession allowed him to know many unknown things related to the Oriental Trading Company. In contrast to the glory of the Oriental Trading Company, in fact, many large European companies were very jealous of the owner of that company, and in their opinion, such achievements could only be achieved by Europeans, and should not be obtained by a backward native of the East. To this end, they have joined forces to use a number of means to suppress the Oriental Trading Company, but with the support of the Countess. The Oriental Trading Company has survived crisis after crisis. And those who secretly did the bad also died mysteriously soon after, and some people even wiped out their entire families because of it.
Until recently, there were rumors that the lucky Oriental had an unknown and terrible force behind him to clean up his opponents, and although many people scoffed at this, no one dared to test the truth of the matter anymore, but maintained a close and distant relationship with the Oriental Trading Company. Bejean, however, believed this rumor, for he had seen the Marquis de Lucas, who had once controlled the whole of Marseille, die of a heart attack on the ship the next day after a quarrel with a few Orientals in the docks, and his inheritance was somehow given to a distant nephew whom he had never met. The nephew, after inheriting the inheritance, immediately sold all the inheritance to the Oriental Trading Company at a low price. As a result, the Oriental Trading Company also established a Mediterranean branch and began to intervene in the trade and freight transportation of the Mediterranean.
Compared with the rejection of the Oriental Trading Company by other companies in Marseille, Bei Jean, who knew some secret things, naturally would not do the kind of thing that put himself in danger, and he tried his best to have a good relationship with the Oriental Trading Company without offending others. In fact, over the years he has considered himself to be very wise in doing so, and he has not only obtained money from the Oriental Trading Company, but also a corresponding friendship, and his son's marriage was completed smoothly by the matchmaking of the owner of the Oriental Trading Company. He was naturally very grateful for this.
This morning, the manager of the Mediterranean branch of the Oriental Trade sent a message asking Bei Jean to clear out the eighth pier and not let people approach. In this regard, Bei Rang naturally did not dare to slack off, and cleaned up the dock early in the morning. He also had two groups of soldiers stop on both sides of the pier and forbid people to approach. Many Marseille officials were dissatisfied with Bejean's big move, but when they heard that it was a request from the Oriental Trade, all the voices of dissatisfaction were suppressed.
Near noon, a large group of horse-drawn carriages drove in from the rich villa area outside Marseille and soon arrived at Pier 8. After the carriage stopped, 6 continued some richly dressed men came down from it, nearly half of them were Orientals. And the other foreigners get along well with the Orientals. But there was always a sense of repulsion, and after getting off the bus, it was divided into two sides. There is little overlap with each other.
Bejean, who had been waiting at the docks, stopped the convoy and walked to a luxurious carriage protected by eight burly Orientals. This carriage is in addition to the luxuriously appearance. Even more eye-catching are the two-headed dragon shield badges on either side of the door. Anyone who knows a little about the history of the French nobility knows that this coat of arms belongs to the famous French family of Merianton. This family can be regarded as an ancient French royal family, which had a period of glory during the reign of Louis XIV and Louis XVI, but was repeatedly attacked by the Bonapartist during the Napoleonic period, and was almost extinct in just a few years, until the union of Countess Eliza Merianton and the Oriental, the Merianton family returned to the aristocratic circle and became the upper class of French society
As the door opened, the first to disembark was Sir Joan, the steward of the Merianton family. Although this old man who has served the Merianton family for generations has looked old, he still has a sharp gaze in his eyes, and the aristocratic temperament accumulated over the years on his body makes him just nod slightly at Bei Rang, which makes Bei Rang feel deeply honored. Mademoiselle Eliza, who then stepped down from the carriage, caused an exclamation from the onlookers on the pier, and at that moment everyone had the feeling that the scorching midday sun had suddenly dimmed, and all the light seemed to be focused on the Countess. In the eyes of everyone, the beauty of Miss Countess is so pale to describe in any word in the world, all women can't help but be ashamed of themselves in front of her, and the only thing that can compare with her present may be the little angel in her hands, and only this little angel who has inherited her mother's temperament and appearance can not be affected by her mother's glory.
It was precisely because of the amazing beauty of Miss Countess that the dignified Oriental who came out later got countless jealous eyes, especially when the little angel was held in his arms and Miss Count's arms were intimately embraced by him, this jealous gaze was also strengthened to the point of killing people.
