Chapter 118 115. The Episode in the VIP Box

Kavey is a typical person born in the 20s. He was born in an ordinary civilian family in an ordinary city. The family of six lived on his father's salary alone.

He has studied, otherwise he would not have been able to go to medical school or work in a hospital, let alone reach the heights before time travel.But by the standards of the 21st century, the young Kavey was no different from semi-literate.

In an era of scarcity of materials, spiritual life will only become more scarce. He has never seen anything elegant since he was a child, and has no concept of art.

Carvey only knew that when he opened the anatomy book for the first time, he was deeply shocked by the human body cutting diagram inside. Since then, surgery has been the art in his heart.

He couldn't understand ballet and remembered being weird the first time he saw it on TV.Just dance, it’s okay to call it art. After all, everyone has different opinions, but why does good art have to make the skirt so high? 【1】

When he was young, Carvey thought he was pedantic and conservative, but when he arrived in Austria, he found that Europeans in the 19th century were much more conservative than himself.

Girls on the street are all long skirts, not only to cover the knees, but even the ankles.But at the same time latitude, the ballet girls in the theater have to lift their skirts above their knees in order to lift their legs and jump.

Is it really for art?

If it is really for art, why are VIP boxes set up on both sides?
Such a long distance, and the angle of view is so skewed, do rich people have crooked eyes?
In the final analysis, the value of a box seat does not lie in watching performances, but in being watched by lower-level audiences. Sitting here is a symbol of status.The real usage of the box is actually the same as Laszlo, it is a small social place for receiving guests.

Of course, there are many kinds of social activities these days, and there are also different objects. Some boxes will appear too restless.

"Who's next door?" Kino was very upset when he heard the humming sound in his ear, "Why don't people watch the ballet properly?"

"It's not the first time you've seen so many operas and ballets. It's too much of a fuss." Laszlo has no interest in art. Whether it's investment or coming here to watch dances, the essence is for money. What are you doing, it's rare to see someone as ambitious as Beatrice."

".I can't stand it, can you keep your voice down???"

Kino raised his fist and wanted to hit the wall a few times to let the next door know that the world has not fallen to this level.But just as he was about to start, he was grabbed by Laszlo: "The third floor is a super VIP box, and anyone who can enter here has the right to use it permanently."

This is very straightforward. The people sitting on the sofa on the third floor are all the bosses who have invested a lot of money in the theater.

Kino's voice shortened a lot in an instant: "Who is next door?"

"The theater owner." Laszlo lighted his pipe with a smile, and comforted him, "You came here to discuss business with me and make money. Those dancers who can't make it to the stage are surrounded by money, so why not make money?"

Kino lost his temper, but still couldn't help but cursed: "If you want to play and take it home, what's the point of influencing others?"

"You haven't bought a box, you don't understand." Laszlo ticked his fingers behind him, and the servants guarding the door stepped forward and pulled down the curtains on both sides, "As long as you close the curtains, this is an extension of your home. Do what you want."

"French ballet sucks, I didn't expect Austria to do the same."

"What an innocent Chino, ballet dances all over the world are like this." Laszlo laughed mercilessly for his old friend, "Haven't you heard a word?"

"What?"

"The opera house is a romantic place for men in the upper class." Laszlo puffed out a smoke ring, "It's called the theater for short."【2】

"Alright alright."

It's not that Chino doesn't know about this kind of thing, on the contrary, he, who often comes to the opera house, knows the secrets in the VIP box well.As long as you book a box, you have the privilege of freely entering and leaving the dressing room and backstage during the performance.

But as an elegant person from the birthplace of ballet, he still hopes that art can be more pure.

"Wait, does Beatrice have a patron? If not, I can do it"

Laszlo looked at his loving little eyes and said with a smile, "Yes."

"Have???"

"Otherwise how can she be the chief?"

Kino felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stuffed with a hot soldering iron. Hearing the seemingly non-existent panting sound from the next door, he said in surprise, "No, no, why is she?"

"What are you thinking? Of course she got the chief seat by herself."

Laszlo rarely looked up at the stage, and Beatrice was dancing the ghost dance in the second half of the second act: "But you have to know, as long as the girls around her have gold masters, the 'golden master' will become the chief necessities. Conditions. No matter how talented a person without a benefactor, he can only be a backup dancer, and sometimes he can't even dance as a backup dancer."

"Her, who is her benefactor?"

"I."

Even though Laszlo beside him was smiling like a child, Chino couldn't accept the reality.

Because the benefactor represents nurturing, even if there is no physical transaction, the two must have had in-depth spiritual communication, which means that the clean white cloth in his heart has been dyed the color of Laszlo, and it is very easy It's hard to change.

But after hearing the price quoted by Laszlo, he could only sigh with emotion: "You are too rich."

"I believe that one day you will be like me." Laszlo took off his pipe, knocked off some ash, and said suddenly, "The next door seems to be finished, let's continue talking."

Chino is also an old Jianghu who has been struggling in the money field for many years, and he quickly recovered from his loss. This episode in the box also made him sober: "Before the factory was built, I We need to clarify the efficacy of the drug."

"I have the lab report in my hand."

"No, I don't want to report." Kino said his request, "Even if you give them all to me, I still can't understand them with my level of knowledge. Instead of going around in circles like this, it's better to do it more directly."

Carvey understood what he meant: "You mean to see the operation directly?"

"Yes, the most direct way is to let me see the curative effect of the operation."

Kavi couldn't accept this kind of request, not because he didn't want to, but because the women's stomachs didn't want to: "Mr. Chino, I do have a few women in my hands who need cesarean section. For a while, it was impossible for me to take a huge risk and advance the operation time."

"When was the earliest?"

"About two days later."

"It will take that long?" Chino thought for a while and said, "I can stay here for five days at most, and I have to go back to Berlin after five days."

Laszlo faintly smelled a different smell: "You just came to Vienna, what are you in a hurry for? I still want to show you around. And once the factory is confirmed, how can you have time to go home? I think you might as well just move to Vienna, you can use my VIP box at any time."

"No, I have to go back." Chino changed his normal routine and directly rejected his offer, "There is still a clothing business waiting for me in Berlin."

"So urgent?"

"There are too many orders recently, and they are very urgent." Chino said, "If possible, would Dr. Kawei go to other hospitals to find some pregnant women?"

Carvey is very clear that his current status is far from being able to go to other hospitals to do "throwing knives": "Can't Mr. Chino come back in ten days?"

"After I return to Berlin, I won't come to Vienna again in the short term." Chino made it clear, "And if you want me to invest money to build a factory, the pharmaceutical factory can't be built in Vienna, you have to change the location."

Laszlo also felt that the housing prices and labor wages in Vienna were on the high side, so it is better to reduce labor costs than transportation costs.Since Kino spoke first, he followed suit and asked, "Where do you want to go? The lower reaches of the Danube? The suburbs of Graz? Or simply move to Innsbruck to the west?"

"No, I mean not in Austria."

Both Kavi and Laszlo were taken aback by Chino's decision.

Carvey's surprise was more innocent, thinking that the Italian businessman only wanted more power.But Laszlo is different, he knows Chino, this guy will not be so aggressive in business.There must be other reasons for insisting on changing the factory site now, and changing it so resolutely.

"What do you mean?" Laszlo had a bad feeling, and his face darkened instantly, "Is there something big going to happen recently?"

"Big thing? Nope."

It was only then that Qino realized that he had slipped his mouth: "Mr. Laszlo was thinking too much. Austria is sunny and sunny, so there will be no big event. If there is a big event, it depends on your investment project here, let alone Austrians, even Americans across the ocean have heard of it."

"Don't flatter me, I don't like this." Laszlo became more and more suspicious when he heard it, "You said you have nothing to hide from me?"

"No."

"Well, the pharmaceutical factory is located in Vienna, and it will start work next month, and you will transfer the money at the end of this month."

"Oh, why are you so stubborn, why do you have to choose Vienna?"

"The reason is very simple. Oxytocin was invented by Dr. Kavey. I have already applied for a patent, and I will give you an answer soon. No need to ask, those officials, big and small, must agree to it when they see my name."

Laszlo asked: "You and I each pay half of the money for the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. In this way, we are two to one. Dr. Carvey and I both live in Vienna, and of course the pharmaceutical factory must be located in Vienna. Why? Want to move somewhere else?"

"actually."

"Don't tell the truth, you must be hiding something from me!" Laszlo's tone became more and more serious, "Qino, I regard you as a friend, and you have made a lot of money over the years. But how do you repay me now? ? Even refuse to tell this news?”

At this time, the ending music of "Giselle" and warm applause from the audience sounded from the audience, but the three of them were so quiet that they couldn't speak a word.

I don't know how long it took, but Kino couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere, so he could only suggest: "Both of you are my friends, so logically speaking, this matter should not be disclosed to anyone, including friends. But Now that Mr. Laszlo has asked this question, I can only warn you to leave Vienna as soon as possible."

When businessmen reach their level, the funds in their hands are closely related to politics and the military.

If ten years ago, Laszlo would have started planning to move after listening to this advice.But now he has more identities, so he must ask why: "Why?"

"Prussia wants independence."

"Don't be kidding, didn't the Germans become independent a long time ago?"

"No, that's different. They want to unify the whole of North Germany." Kino lowered his voice, afraid that the walls might have ears. "The talk of independence and unification is more ridiculous than a piece of paper, and we have to rely on it in the end."

While speaking, he made a shooting gesture: "Several steel factories in Berlin have been working at full capacity since last year, and new guns are being shipped to the military barracks in a steady stream. And my clothing factory has also undertaken part of the military uniform orders. It has to be delivered by April."

"No wonder you're in a hurry to go back."

"Yeah, this time I came to Austria not so brightly and aboveboard, and secretly hid some people." Chino sighed, still didn't want to talk about military and political secrets, "Let's talk about the pharmaceutical factory, I personally suggest building the factory in Italy .”

Laszlo didn't expect that the Lombard life history that Kavi originally used to win Kino was reversely used by him on himself.In a word, Dr. Carvey was born in Lombardy, which solved the problem of the pharmaceutical factory site very well.

Of course, Lombardy is in the north of Italy, too close to Germany and Austria.

"If my guess is right, Italy will definitely get involved." Kino couldn't judge the direction of the matter, "But with Prussia's current strength, it is impossible to lose this war. The south of Italy is still safe. I think Naples good."

It is a famous port in Italy, and it is indeed far away from the German-Austrian border, so even if a war breaks out, it will not be affected.

And Laszlo is very clear that Franz has long lost interest in independent Italy, and now only considers Hungary and Prussia on the east and west sides: "Naples...is a good place, but it is too far away from Vienna."

"You can also move there, it's a very beautiful port city."

Laszlo will definitely not leave Austria, even if he really wants to leave, he will go back to his hometown Budapest.It is even more impossible for Kavi to go to Naples. Considering the development of medicine, Italy is not outstanding, and if he really wants to go, he has to go to the west.

"How are you thinking?" Kino asked.

"It's not that good. I think it's better to wait a little longer about the pharmaceutical factory." Laszlo's mind is now full of Prussian things.

"Italy is indeed too far away." Carvey also said along with Laszlo, "If there is a war, I don't think Austria will lose it easily."

"You're too young, kid. Just look at the achievements of the Austrian Empire over the years." Kino continued to persuade, "Since Franz came to the throne, has he ever won a war between major powers? Never Bar."

"Denmark won."

"That counts as war?"

Although the final decision was made by the three of them, the prescription was still in the hands of Kawei, and it was difficult for the two of them to make a decision without his nodding.Now that things have developed to this point, without knowing whether there will really be a war, Carvey can only make a more "constructive" suggestion:

"If it really doesn't work, you can put the pharmaceutical factory in the United States."
