With a satisfied smile, Luke said goodbye with a wine glass and walked to other social circles.
Seeing Luke leave, Jiang Chen originally thought he would just relax, but he obviously underestimated his attractiveness, or the attractiveness of Future Ren Group to investors.
The gaze that fell on him was either peeking, indifferent, jealous, or praise... but he did not ignore it.
As the newcomer to join this banquet and also the chairman of Future People Group, who has a significant position in the Internet field, no matter what purpose he is, there are many people who are happy to say hello to Jiang Chen and exchange business cards.
Regardless of whether cooperation can be reached, no one will think there are too many friends, right?
So, in the next two hours, Jiang Chen was almost exhausted from dealing with the following social rhetoric.
Mr. Jiang Chen, I’m very happy to know you. This is my business card... If you need to handle M&A business in the future, please be sure to contact our bank.A banker said.
Mr. Jiang, don’t you know you are interested in financing?Don't rush to refuse, hehe.If there is a capital turnover problem in the future, or there are major investment projects, please be sure to contact us!Someone looked at Jiang Chen with a look of looking at the vault and said confidently.
Is this your first time in Germany?If you have time, I'd love to take you to visit this beautiful country.A lady with a familiar celebrity face but Jiang Chen couldn't name her name said with a smile.
……
In just two hours, the not-so-spacious pocket of his dress was filled with all kinds of business cards.And the stack of gold-stened business cards he prepared were almost done.
When dealing with these enthusiastic guests, Jiang Chen's eyes were floating on the luxurious foods such as foie gras and Marseille fish soup, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, what made him helpless was that it was not until the melodious violin sound in the venue was replaced by waltz's waltz, and the celebrities and gentry walked hand in hand toward the circular dance floor that he could have escaped those enthusiastic bigwigs.
However, at this time, the staple food on the long table had been replaced with sweet and greasy after-meal desserts...
Coming out of the venue, the cool breeze blowing towards him reduced a little heat. Perhaps he was breathing too much carbon dioxide, Jiang Chen always felt that the air blowing from the pine forest was particularly fresh.
Carmen disappeared after the final speech, and Jiang Chen did not wait for him. After the curtain call of the party, he left the venue with the crowded stream of tourists.
After all, the two are just nodding, and most of their partners are in the same way, and they may not be considered friends.
Because he wanted to stay outside for a while, Jiang Chen took a long way to walk along the gravel road next to the pine forest.
The shadow was stretched out under the street light. Jiang Chen looked at the stack of business cards in his hand and placed the ones that were not available on the left and the ones that might be available on the right.
Before throwing it into the storage space, he hopes to at least divide these business cards into categories first, so that he will not have to turn over for a long time when he needs to use them.
But the only thing that made him feel a little useful was only two business cards.
One is from Luke Joyce, and the other is from Space-X's boss Aaron Musk.
Jiang Chen never expected that he would meet this guy here.
The brown-haired middle-aged man had a very sunny smile on his face when he shook hands with Jiang Chen.
He obviously heard of the rumors that Jiang Chen had acquired aerospace company and entered the aerospace field. However, he did not show an opposing attitude towards this strong competitor. Instead, he expressed his hope to cooperate with Future Ren Group in the aerospace field to jointly achieve the great and out of reach strategic goal of colonizing Mars.
Although in Jiang Chen's eyes, this goal is not so far away...
In short, Jiang Chen still kept this business card. Maybe he will really cooperate in the aerospace field in the future.
Just as Jiang Chen was halfway through, his stomach screamed.
Sure enough, I was still a little hungry... Forget it, I'll get some food when I go back.Jiang Chen sighed and said.
But at this moment, a scent of oil from barbecue floated across his nose.
Looking into the direction of the wind, Jiang Chen faintly saw a slim bonfire in the depths of the pine forest next to the path.
The smell of barbecue seemed to float from there, but who would make a fire in the woods of Rothschild Manor at this time?
It is naturally impossible for Carmen. He is probably busy with the end of the party now.
Is it a servant from the Rothschild family?Jiang Chen said to himself.
For some reason, he remembered the old man he saw in the morning, the old man who built a boat in front of the lake hut.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Chen walked towards the direction of the fire.
The mud was covered with yellow and soft pine needles, and there was a hoarse sound when stepped on them.The woods were very cool and quiet, not like the hustle and bustle of drinking and chattering in the banquet hall.
After you have enough fun in the future, you can buy a house like this and live in seclusion.
For some reason, such a thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind.But soon he smiled and shook his head, denying the idea.
He is still young, and if nothing unexpected happens, he can continue to be young.He was so embarrassed that he was a time traveler for more than a hundred years without being so happy.
Carbon roasted lamb legs, you have a good taste.
Perhaps because he noticed Jiang Chen's arrival, the old man did not look back and grinned at the firelight.
Standing next to the old man, Jiang Chen glanced at the dry pine needles on the ground.
Aren't you afraid of fire?
Can't burn.
Perhaps out of confidence in barbecue skills, the old man's dry mouth grinned with a hint of confidence.
Can you share it with me?Of course, I'll pay.Looking at the golden legs of lamb, Jiang Chen's appetite was also hooked up and he couldn't help but speak.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the old man turned around, and his turbid eyes glowed with black pearls in the jumping fire.
Jiang Chen couldn't tell what it felt like. His gaze was like a hunter, but he was not staring at the antelope.
If you want to eat, just sit next to me and you don’t have to pay.After leaving this sentence, the old man turned around.
After glanced at the soil mixed with pine needles, Jiang Chen hesitated for two seconds, but still sat cross-legged next to the old man.
For about five minutes, the fragrance was strong. The old man skillfully sprinkled cumin and salt on the lamb legs on the grill, and then took out the knife. The white light shook twice. He handed the knife carrying the lamb legs to Jiang Chen's hand.
Try it.
He hesitantly put the tip of the knife to his mouth, Jiang Chen blew it, then bit his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
How does it taste?The old man smiled.
It's simply amazing.When Jiang Chen returned the knife to the old man, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, without hesitation for praise.
The old man grinned and did not express any expression of Jiang Chen's praise. He just cut a large piece from the lamb leg again and handed it to his hand.
Then, he took out the spare knife and a pot of wine from his bag.
I have taught you how to cut meat, and now you can try it yourself.After taking a drink, the old man said.
Jiang Chen, who had drunk a stomach full of champagne, declined the wine handed over by the old man and just feasted on the legs of lamb.
The two of them just sat in the forest, without any extra words, just enjoying the delicious barbecue in silence.
Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen you by the lake in the morning.Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
oh.I was logging at that time.The old man grinned.
Did you build that ship?Jiang Chen asked in a chatty tone while chewing the barbecue.
The Garen ship, from the keel to the sails, was all done by myself.A proud smile appeared on the old man's face, as if he was showing off something very amazing.
It's really amazing, even in the eyes of Jiang Chen, a layman.
Don't the people from the Rothschild family help you?At this point, Jiang Chen had realized that the old man's status in the Rothschild family must be extraordinary.
It is definitely impossible to be able to make fire and barbecue in the woods of the manor if it is an ordinary servant.
But looking at the old man's unkempt outfit, it was difficult for Jiang Chen to associate him with the members of the Rothschild family.
Judging from the feeling Carmen gave him, people in this family should pay great attention to appearance and cultivation.
I told them not to help.The old man said with a smile.
Sorry, who are you?
Hearing Jiang Chen asks his name, the old man grinned and wiped the greasy table knife.
Jacono Rothschild.
...This is really a well-known name.
When Rothschild took office as the head of the family, Jiang Chen had some investigations into the name when investigating the financial family.
This legendary figure who led the Rothschild family out of the gloom of the decline of World War II, but history's description of him is just a simple word.
Even if he passed the position of head of the family to his younger brother and lived a secluded life in the Bavarian manor, he was just an understatement in the financial news panel.
That's right, so after retirement, I won't use this name much.Jacono said lightly.
So which name to use?
Paris.The stubble on his chin shook, and the light of the bonfire reflected the smile that caught the corner of the old man's mouth.
This name sounds familiar and seems to belong to a hero in some ancient Greek mythology.The prince who was asked by Zeus to whom he gave the golden apple, the man who ignited the fuse of the Trojan war.
Jiang Chen wanted to ask why he called this name, but in the end he held it back.
If possible, he doesn't want to be related to that golden apple anymore.
However, the old man spoke first.
If you got the Golden Apple, who would you give him?Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite?
It's really a difficult question to answer.
Sighing, Jiang Chen pinched his chin with his hands and thought seriously for a moment.
This is a difficult question to answer, I almost have power and wealth.I don’t seem to lack the wisdom and courage to pioneer the path of heroes.Maybe I will offer it to Aphrodite?After all, in this era, the more power and wealth you have, the farther you are from pure love.And a war comparable to the Trojan War will not make people bored.
Ha ha ha ha.As if he heard something interesting, Jacono laughed heartily.
The sound of time echoes among the pine forests.
After a while, the pine forest returned to silence, leaving only the rustling sound of the pine needles moving with the wind.
Very interesting answer. Although the choice is superficial, the reason for the choice is unexpectedly interesting.
Regarding Jacono's evaluation, Jiang Chen just smiled indifferently and returned the question in a half-joking tone.
So which deity would you offer to?Mr. Paris.
Jacono grinned, wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
Under the reflection of the fire, this smile looked a little hesitant, or barbaric.
No matter who you dedicate it to, it is hell, of course you keep it yourself.
Seeing Luke leave, Jiang Chen originally thought he would just relax, but he obviously underestimated his attractiveness, or the attractiveness of Future Ren Group to investors.
The gaze that fell on him was either peeking, indifferent, jealous, or praise... but he did not ignore it.
