Chapter 432 Don't be afraid of the sky falling

Gao Jiu saw that the German young man in front of him was twenty-two or three years old, with short silver-gray hair, slightly thin face, blue eyes, deep eye sockets, handsome appearance, and naturally showed a noble temperament.

His name is William, and he is the grandson of Gustav, the head of Krupp. His mother is Gustav’s eldest daughter. His father was born in a German aristocratic family. He himself is also very outstanding. He graduated from the Imperial University of Berlin, Germany and received a bachelor's degree in mechanical manufacturing and law. He is currently studying at the University of Berlin and is now a graduate student in mechanical manufacturing. Gustav loves this grandson very much.

The Germans have always been known for their honesty, trustworthiness and obeying time. The Krupp family has always been one of the industrial pillars of Germany's ****. The Krupp cannons are favored by the highest authorities in the country. Adhering to time, following discipline, and executing orders is the tradition of this family.

Take the meal time as an example. Breakfast is 7:15, and people who arrive at 7:16 will find that the restaurant is closed and others have started to eat. In addition, even in the middle of winter, Gustav Krupp refused to tilt the fireplace, intending to make the office cold to avoid becoming listless. Although this approach will give people a bit stereotyped, it fully reflects the strict self-discipline and vigorous enterprising spirit of the Krupp family.

William is obviously also a person cultivated by this environment and has developed an honest and trustworthy character.

When he saw Bazer and the young man beside him, Gao Jiu took a special look at the clock hanging on the walls of the hotel, and agreed to meet with them at all.

When William saw Gao Jiu, his eyes were curious.

Bazel spent some effort to meet Gao Jiu.

Bazer was not familiar with William. He also graduated from the Imperial University of Berlin, Germany, two classes higher than William. He was introduced to William through their shared mathematics professor.

Bazel is a reporter. William was originally unwilling to deal with reporters, but because Bazel worked in distant China for a long time, and the Krupp family once had weapons deals with the Guomin Government. He was a little curious about China, so he met Bazel.

Bazer once studied in the United States. His personality was different from that of ordinary Germans. His personality was passionate and unrestrained, which was very different from the silence and subtlety of ordinary Germans. This made William patiently listen to his experiences in China.

The protagonist of Bazel's story is of course Gao Jiu. Bazel is another reporter who is good at communicating with others. He speaks lotus flowers and praises Gao Jiu to the heaven and earth.

Of course, Gao Jiuniu's deeds are indeed impossible, so William had the desire to meet Gao Jiu. Even so, William did not immediately agree to Bazer's request to meet Gao Jiu, because he was a student after all and did not want to enter the public's vision.

Bazel promised that his meeting between Gao Jiu was not public, and he also used the provocation method, saying that although William was excellent, Gao Jiu was even more awesome. He dared to bet with William that Gao Jiu could do what William knew, but Gao Jiu could do it, and Gao Jiu was still proficient in what William knew.

William inherited the intelligence of his grandfather Gustav and his talent was far beyond ordinary people.

He was a student with excellent character in college and a recognized talent. The pride in his bones is inevitable.

William was a little dissatisfied when he heard Bazel say this, so he agreed to meet Gao Jiu.

At this moment, William looked at Gao Jiu and saw that he was tall. Although his height was a little worse than that of him, the heroic and extraordinary demeanor that Gao Jiu showed left a deep impression on him.

Although Ouyang Xue is an oriental beauty, even Westerners like William also recognize her beauty. The noble temperament revealed by Ouyang Xue also makes William appreciate it. The two are perfectly matched, and the image of a golden boy and jade girl left a good first impression on William.

After Bazel's introduction, William, Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue greeted each other.

Gao Jiu's German is very fluent. Although Ouyang Xue's German is very ordinary, she still speaks the commonly used polite words very fluent. If she doesn't have a deep conversation, she can't figure out how good she is in German. William's favor for the two has increased a little.

Germans' eating habits are very different from those of Chinese. Germans pay the most attention to it. The most hearty ones are not lunch or dinner, but breakfast. Germans' family dinners are usually cold meals, and the content is very rich: a plate of meat-eating platter; fresh vegetables such as radish, tomatoes, cucumbers; fresh fruits such as grapes and cherries. Some housewives also place cheeses of various flavors, and the staple food is bread. Dinner time is relatively abundant, and the family sits around the table and chats while eating.

Germany and China have many similarities, and this is even more similar to dinner and conversation. Germans are very particular about eating, and the time for dinner is mainly used for communication.

Although William was born into a wealthy family, he is still a student after all. He knows relatively little about social affairs, especially in the distant East, which still has a certain sense of mystery for him. He was very curious about Gao Jiu and asked: "Mr. Gao, you speak German very well. Have you lived in Germany before? Where did you learn German?"

Gao Jiu said: "When I was studying in the United States, my classmates were you Germans, and I learned German from him."

There is still a big difference between English and German, and it is not easy to learn German well. Gao Jiu's German level is very high, which makes William admire him. He said: "I heard that in addition to German and English, you can also speak Japanese. What kind of language do you speak in what country do you speak?"

Gao Jiu said: "Maybe I have a little talent in language and can speak languages ​​from other countries."

William himself is very talented in languages. He knows English, Spanish, Italian and French. In order to verify the authenticity of what Gao Jiu said, he first asked in French: "Mr. Gao, are you familiar with French?"

Gao Jiu said in French: "Paris in France is very fashionable. I like the romantic atmosphere there. I have lived in Paris for a while and am quite familiar with French."

Gao Jiu's French is very fluent, obviously surpassing William.

William was still a little dissatisfied, and he changed into Italian and Spanish. Gao Jiu was far more familiar with him.

Next, Gao Jiu's conversation was the most familiar content of William. They began to discuss William's most proud major in mechanical manufacturing. Gao Jiu's professional level was obviously much higher than William's mentor.

William is a good young man with a broad mind. He did not feel embarrassed because of Gao Jiu's extraordinary talent, but developed deep admiration for him.

In the following conversation, William discussed some questions with Gao Jiu more with a consulting attitude. No matter what questions he raised or in any aspect, Gao Jiu's answer could give him a refreshing feeling.

As the conversation deepened, Gao Jiu seemed to be a treasure house of knowledge, which had a deep attraction to William. At this moment, he could conclude that he had never seen or even heard of it in his life. There was such a master in the world, and he had the idea of ​​worshiping Gao Jiu as his teacher.

William said admiringly: "Mr. Gao, you are the most amazing wise man I have ever met. I wonder if I have this honor to learn from you?"

Gao Jiu said kindly: "Mr. William, you are also one of the smartest people I have ever met. Since we both hit it off at first sight, we should be good friends. No matter what your questions are, we can discuss them together."

William was very happy and continued to talk to Gao Jiu.

It took more than two hours for a meal before William reluctantly prepared to say goodbye.

William is a smart man. He said, "Mr. Gao, you want to meet me, probably not just want to know me, right?"

Gao Jiu said frankly: "Mr. William is indeed smart. I date you because I admire your grandfather, Mr. Gustav. I am very interested in weapon manufacturing. I have some design works that I want to present to your grandfather through you, hoping to get his comments."

William's feeling was the same as Nina of the Soviet Union. When Gao Jiu mentioned the development of weapons, they felt very alert and worried that Gao Jiu would come to capture the secrets of Germany's military industry.

However, Gao Jiu did not ask for understanding Germany's military industry, but wanted to hand over his works to Gustav for comment. There was no problem of leaking information at all, but provided German scientific and technological information. This did not require any precautions, but should actively strive for it.

William was very happy and said enthusiastically: "If so, please hand over your work to me, and I will hand it over to my grandfather soon."

Gao Jiu still took out a tightly wrapped drawing from his bag and handed it to William.

William took the drawings and said goodbye and left.

After William left, Bazel followed Gao Jiu to the embassy. On the way, Bazel kept crying. Ouyang Xue asked: "Mr. Bazel, what problems have you encountered? Tell Brother Jiu that Brother Jiu will definitely have a way to solve them for you."

Gao Jiu said, "Let's go back first, and then you will say it slowly."

After returning to his residence, Ouyang Xue made tea for everyone, and the three of them sat together and talked. Gao Jiu said kindly: "Bazel, what difficulties did you encounter? No matter what difficulties it is, just talk. We are brothers, and I will definitely try to solve them for you."

Bazel was sobbing that tears were almost falling. He said, "After I got home, I called my fiancée, Lena, and wanted to tell her the good news about my return. But her family said she was not in Berlin. I asked Lena how to contact her, but her family didn't tell me, and I felt something was wrong.

I went to Lina's house that day, and her parents didn't tell me where Lina was going. After I tried to force it, they told me Lina's contact number.

I felt something was wrong. When I called, I didn't dare to say who I was. Instead, I made up the name of a friend we were familiar with. Later, Lina finally answered the phone. When she heard my voice, she was very cold. After a few words, she said she wanted to break up with me, and said she already had a new boyfriend.

Of course I don’t believe it anymore, because we have known each other for more than three years and our relationship has always been very good. Lina once said that she would not marry if she had to. I don’t understand why she had changed so much after I went abroad for more than a year? I wanted to find Lina, but she refused to see me and did not tell me where she was. After that, she put down the phone.

I was very anxious and called her many times, but she refused to answer the phone. Later, probably because the people who were with her were annoyed, Lena answered the phone. She said that she would come back to Berlin in a few days and explained it to me in person.

I really don't know, what's going on?"

Speaking of this, Bazel's tears finally fell down. No wonder Bazel loved Lina very deeply, and the sudden change made him really unbearable.

Ouyang Xue comforted him and said, "Your relationship has always been very good. Suddenly, this situation happened. I guess Lina must have her indescribable secret. Didn't she promise to come back and explain it to you clearly? This shows that she has not really rejected you, otherwise she would not have had to meet you again."

Ouyang Xue said this out of a woman's intuition. She believed that even if Lina changed her mind, she would not be so decisive, and there would definitely be reasons that were difficult to say.

Ouyang Xue's words gave Bazel great comfort. He nodded and said, "I hope so."

Gao Jiu said: "Since Lina said she would come back to meet you, don't worry too much, just wait patiently. When Lina comes back and you talk to her, you must pay attention to your attitude, be sincere, and do not blame her at all. You must figure out the reason for the matter.

If it is due to forced reasons, not emotional reasons, and can be saved through hard work, Xiaoxue and I will firmly support you, even if the sky falls, there is no need to worry."

Gao Jiu's words gave Bazel great confidence. He felt much better. He said, "Mr. Gao, then I will do the other things you have assigned me these days."

Gao Jiu said: "This is the best way to be busy. If you can avoid random thoughts and relieve your troubles."

Next, Gao Jiu patiently waited for news from William.

Things were similar to what Gao Jiu expected, and even faster than he expected. That night William called, saying that his grandfather Gustav invited Gao Jiu to meet at his manor one afternoon.

The next afternoon, accompanied by William, Gao Jiu came to a manor located on the picturesque Spree River, which is Gustav’s private villa.

Not long after, Gao Jiu met Gustav, the head of the famous Krupp Company.

Gustav, the king of artillery, is tall and handsome, and can tell the handsome appearance of his youth. He is a kind-looking old man. After William introduced Gao Jiu, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome to you, young people from the far east."

Gao Jiu reached out and held the old man's hand and said politely: "Dear Mr. Gustav, it is my honor to see you." Then he gave the gift he brought.

Gustav saw that it was a hand-crafted wooden gift box. When he opened it, he saw a very exquisite inner snuff bottle. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man, you are very good at giving gifts. How did you know that I like snuff bottles?" As he said that, he looked at William and thought that this should be what his grandson told Gao Jiu.

William also said curiously: "Mr. Gao, where did you hear that my grandfather has the habit of collecting this?"

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Gustav, you are not only Germany, but also a great scientist and arms dealer in the world. There are probably thousands of people who study you. It is normal to know your habits."

This tall hat suddenly aroused the old man's joy. He smiled and said, "Young man, you are very good at talking."

After sitting down, Old Gustav said, "Mr. Gao, my grandson is an excellent and somewhat proud young man. I have never seen him so highly respect for a peer. Therefore, I am very curious and want to see what is extraordinary about you, a legendary young man from ancient China?"

From the time we met, Gustav gave people a kind look, but Gao Jiu didn't think so. He had already noticed the shrewdness in Gustav's eyes.
