Chapter 33 Fundraising Reception
The so-called high fructose corn syrup is actually very common in later generations, and it has gradually replaced sucrose fructose syrup in the food processing industry.

This sugar originally appeared after the 50s.

But its process is not complicated.

The most important things are the two substances of glucoamylase and glucose isomerase.

The former has been extracted in the 30s, but it has not been commercialized.The latter would not be discovered until the 50s.

But Josie only needs the former, because the function of the latter is to convert the glucose in the syrup into fructose, and to increase the sweetness of the syrup.

Only the former plays the role of hydrolyzing starch to produce syrup.

Knowing these two things is because of the unlucky brother who asked me to drink before time travel. He is engaged in the raw material processing industry of fast-selling products-in fact, he is a raw material supplier for milk tea shops.

When the other party started their business, Josie helped out a lot in his spare time.

Also have a little understanding of this aspect.

But Josie is not engaged in biological research, so he must not be able to make glucoamylase and produce fructose syrup.

But it doesn't matter, you can find someone to do the work in this area.

Chicago is the center of education in the central United States. There are as many as 19 standard four-year universities, including the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois, as well as a large number of research institutes.

It is not difficult to find a few professionals in this field.

"Since you feel sure, go ahead and do it. Just tell me how much it costs!" Margot said after Josie told her plan.

"However, since you want to have a career, you need to deal with more celebrities. It just so happened that I received an invitation to a weekend reception yesterday, which was sent by Uncle John. I didn't plan to go at first, but now you If you want to start a business, let's go together! Then I will introduce some people to you, which will help your business."

Speaking of which, the time with Josie is not too short, but Margot has never taken him to such an occasion.

It's not because Josie can't do it.

In fact, long after her father died, she seldom went to such receptions.

In the beginning, it was because people always said bad things about Tony Wendis in her ears, and she didn't like it very much, and she even quarreled with some girlfriends she knew before.

And when she later found out that these bad words were all true, she didn't want to go to this kind of occasion... because she was afraid of embarrassment.

In addition, because of David Lebile's entanglement before, she didn't want to go even more, so she didn't mention it.

But if Josie wants to start a factory, he will definitely need various contacts, so it is necessary to attend this reception.

That's why she brought it up.

"Oh? What kind of reception is it?" Josie couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

"It's a war bond fundraising reception hosted by the city government. Uncle John is the leader. Celebrities from all walks of life in Chicago will participate!" Margot said.

When Josie heard this, it was indeed necessary to experience this reception.

"It won't cause you any trouble, right?" Speaking of which, he has never seen such a high-end reception in his two lifetimes.

"What trouble can this cause? It just happens to let those people know that I'm doing well now." Margot said with a gentle smile.

"So is there anything I need to watch out for?" Josie asked.

"Dress up handsomely!"

........................

Soon, it will be the weekend.

Josie and Margot, who were well-dressed, appeared on time at the venue of the reception - the luxurious estate of the Lebile family.

When they arrived, there were already many guests in the manor, and all kinds of luxury cars of this period were parked in the yard. In comparison, the wine-red Lincoln Continental that Josie drove today seemed a bit inconspicuous .

Of course, if you take out the Cadillac V16 in the system warehouse, it will still be more eye-catching.

But now is not the time.

Although the current Josie has entered Chicago's high society with half a foot by getting close to Margot, a rich woman.

But that's not enough to be his safety net.

After all, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Those Italian savages went crazy, but even the president dared to plot an assassination.

So before there is not enough self-protection ability, that car can only be regarded as a private collection.

Fortunately, the system space is forbidden by time, but there is no car that will be improperly maintained.

After Margot handed over the invitation letter to the waiter at the door for inspection, the two entered the hall of the venue unimpeded.

"Hey, Margot, long time no see!" As soon as he entered the venue, some acquaintances found Margot who had arrived.

This is a beautiful lady, about the same age as Margot.

"Long time no see, Goriel!" Margot also greeted the other party very warmly, and it was obvious that the two parties were very familiar with each other.

Immediately, under Margot's apologetic gaze, she was pulled aside by Goriel and whispered.

It was impossible for Josie to participate in or obstruct this kind of private conversation between women, so he could only look around to ease his embarrassment, and took a glass of wine from the passing waiter's tray.

Josie just doesn't like to drink, it's not that he doesn't know how to drink. He has tried a little bit before, and the alcohol capacity of this body is still so-so.

"What's your name?" At this moment, an elegant middle-aged man walked up to Josie and asked.

"Josie, Josie Kahn!" Josie introduced himself.

"Patrick Chase, Gorill is my wife!" The man introduced himself, and then pointed to Gorill who was talking to Margot.

Josie suddenly realized, no wonder the other party would come up to talk to him.

Immediately, the two chatted one after another,

Because the two sides are not familiar with each other, it is impossible to talk about too private news, so the topic quickly turned to the current war situation... This is also a topic that normal men prefer to talk about, not to mention that it is a battle in itself. The war bond fundraising reception, with war as the topic, can also be said to be very appropriate.

But it was just such a chat that Josie left a deep impression on Patrick, who didn't take him seriously at first, but just regarded him as an ordinary conversation partner.

Patrick is now the owner of a department store in Chicago, but he was a logistics officer in the military during World War I, so he is not a military layman.

Some of Josie's judgments about the current war situation during the conversation made him very fresh.

"Josie, it would be a pity if you don't join the army and make contributions based on your knowledge!" Patrick sighed.

Josie rolled her eyes secretly at this.

join the army?His body is just a high school (ninth grade) dropout, what can he do if he joins the army?Go to the front line to carry shells?

Although during World War II, due to the rapid expansion of the army, it is not just a cat or a dog who can be an officer. The requirements for better arms are not low, such as the Air Force and Navy, and at the very least they have to graduate from high school.

So when Josie joins the army now, he can only be an ordinary infantry soldier.

What's more, Josie has no intention of joining the army at all. How smart he is, why can't he think about working for this emotionless country?
Wouldn't it be nice to sleep comfortably with a rich woman in your arms?
"Mr. Chase, Josie is not yet 16 years old, but she is far from the age to join the army!" On the other side, Margot, who had just finished talking with Gorell, also heard the words of Crete , Immediately took Josie's arm and said dissatisfied.

Hearing Margot's words, Patrick was stunned.

Looking at Josie again, he did seem a little immature, but Josie's tall figure, calm personality, and good knowledge made him ignore this.

Just 16 years old... Patrick didn't look at Josie, then at the mature and beautiful Margot.

tsk...

Fortunately, in this era, the laws are not so strict, and this kind of situation is not uncommon in the upper class.

If it was changed to the 21st century, Margot might be prosecuted and sent to prison...
