Who would have thought that the waiter did not reach out to receive the tip, but just smiled and said thank you, then put the luggage properly, apologized to Zhou Liwen and others and left. Seeing Zhou Liwen's surprised expression, Earl Herbert smiled and told him that this place was not an ordinary hotel, but an estate owned by a nobleman, and the waiter just now was just like the butler of his castle, Old Hans. , but there are several butlers like this. As members of the family, of course they will not charge any tips when guests come. Hearing this explanation, Zhou Liwen suddenly burst into laughter. It was indeed true. How could a servant in his own family accept tips from guests? It seems that the habits he developed in the United States have become a joke here. According to the arrangement, the salon will be held after the dinner. In the afternoon, visiting guests will rest in their rooms, or go to the living room downstairs to sit, listen to music, have afternoon tea or something. Earl Herbert was getting older. Although he was not tired from the car ride, he was also mentally tired. For the salon in the evening, he had to go back to his room to rest. As for Zhou Liwen and his wife, they could only let them do as they pleased. After walking around the room a few times, Lin Yaxuan liked this place very much. Compared with the castle, the decoration here was more gorgeous. After resting for a while in the room, Lin Yaxuan proposed to go down for a walk. Of course Zhou Liwen would not refuse and accompanied his wife downstairs. When passing by the music tea room in the living room downstairs, Lin Yaxuan couldn't help but stop. , went inside with Zhou Liwen, listened to the melodious piano music, ordered a cup of black tea, and tasted the refreshments. Here, you can experience the afternoon tea time that is different from France, which makes people feel extremely relaxed. After sitting with his wife for half an hour, Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan, who were somewhat addicted to cigarettes, said softly. She was immersed in the music and didn't care. She smiled and nodded to show that she understood, and then continued to listen to the piano with her chin in her hand. Zhou Liwen stood up softly, went around from the back, asked the waiter at the door, and found the smoking room according to the other person's instructions. After pushing the door in, he found an empty sofa, lit a cigar and started smoking. "Bavc?" Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away. Zhou Liwen turned his head subconsciously and saw that the other party stood up in surprise when he saw Zhou Liwen and walked quickly towards him. "It's really you. I didn't expect to meet you here." The visitor came to Zhou Liwen with a smile on his face and greeted Zhou Liwen enthusiastically. The other person is a tall German man in his late forties. He looks familiar, but for a while he can¡¯t remember who he is. "Hello." Of course Zhou Liwen would not take the liberty to ask directly who the other person was. He quickly stood up, smiled and shook hands with the person coming, pretending to be familiar with the person. But I have been wondering in my heart, who is this person? "I heard from Bell some time ago that you were on vacation in Europe. I didn't expect to meet you here. This world is really small." After the other party shook hands with Zhou Liwen with a smile, Take advantage of the situation and sit down next to him. When the other party heard Bell's name, Zhou Liwen suddenly recalled the identity of the other party. He had indeed seen this person before. He was Bell's friend. He had met him at a cocktail party in France. He was from the French area of ??Delheits Group. President Baptiste. Speaking of Baptiste, I actually met him earlier than I met Bell. However, Baptiste did not recognize Zhou Liwen¡¯s identity at the cocktail party. When he later learned who Zhou Liwen was, Baptiste Very regretful. However, due to Bell's relationship, Baptiste met Zhou Liwen again later, but they only chatted for a few words and did not talk in depth again. "The world is really small, and I didn't expect to meet you here. By the way, Baptiste, are you here to participate in this salon too?" Zhou Liwen replied with a smile, "I came here with my uncle." Baptiste said embarrassedly: "My uncle is a member of the Salon. He has not been in good health in the past few years. He was not going to attend this gathering. I happened to be on a business trip in Germany, so at my uncle's request I came with him. " " Zhou Liwen nodded in understanding, and then asked how Baptiste was doing and whether he was still working at Delheits Group. Who would have thought, Baptiste told himself, that he left the group last year and is now working for Siemens. "Siemens? Isn't that Bell?" Zhou Liwen was stunned. Baptiste smiled and said: "Yes, Bell used to work for Siemens. In fact, I also worked for Siemens for some time at first, and then I went to Delheits Group because of my own interests. And now" Speaking of this , Baptiste said with some embarrassment: "At my uncle's request, I resigned from my original position last year and returned to Siemens." "Who is your uncle?" Zhou Liwen asked. Baptiste said a name, and Zhou Liwen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that it turned out that Baptiste's uncle was actually one of the shareholders behind Siemens. No wonder he would return to work at Siemens. I guess he was right, because Due to his uncle's health, the family is now cultivating a successor. As the president of the French region of Delheits Group, Baptiste, at this pointA good candidate. When some people in China talked about Chinese and Western education and parents¡¯ attitudes towards their children, they always compared it with Western countries¡¯ children¡¯s 18-year-old self-reliance. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. From the perspective of family and children, the traditions of China and the West are actually the same. Westerners are no worse than Chinese in the love and cultivation of family members, including children. Of course, Western countries do better in terms of education methods, but there is basically no difference between parents and their children. It is very common for a family like Baptiste to cultivate heirs to maintain the family's longevity. Even in the United States, which is known as the most democratic country, many families are like this. If it can pave the way for the future of their children, no parent will refuse to do so. "Are you still in charge of sales now?" Zhou Liwen asked. Baptiste nodded: "Including the market, my life is basically the same as what I had in the previous group. However, Siemens has more rules and it is much more tiring to do it than before." "Haha, congratulations, I want to say that you His ability will definitely make him good at this job." Zhou Liwen congratulated the other party sincerely. Although he didn't know Batiste's current position at Siemens, he could tell from his family status, including his previous positions. , it is absolutely impossible for him to be an ordinary employee, at least a middle-level and high-level employee, and he also mentioned the idea of ??returning to Germany for a business trip, which means that Baptiste should now be the person in charge of overseas business. "Thank you," Baptiste replied happily, and then chatted casually with Zhou Liwen. After chatting for a while, he seemed to remember something, and hesitantly asked Zhou Liwen: "Bavc, I want to ask you something." Can I ask a question?" "Of course." Zhou Liwen smiled. "Do you think it is possible for your company to cooperate with Siemens?" Baptiste asked very seriously. (Second update, please vote and recommend!)
