Chapter 193 190. Transactions
[In order to distinguish it from the famous Saint-Michel Square in Paris, it was changed to Place Michel here, and I don’t know if there is a Saint-Michel in front of this square, some are added and some are not]

Michelle Square is located not far from the Hofburg Palace, next to St. Stephen's Cathedral, a famous business district formed by the intersection of a main road and a commercial street.Compared with the hodgepodge of many merchants on Graben Street, the main products sold here are art and antiques, and the shops are small in scale and look much lighter.

But now, as the flow of people flocked to the center of the square, the shops were either temporarily converted into food stalls, or they were already half closed. Everyone's attention was focused on the operating table in front of the temporary site.

For this grand event that has been warmed up for a long time, many people flocked to the streets early in the morning.

Because they couldn't enter the venue, they didn't expect to see the whole process of the operation clearly, and they were already satisfied if they could feel the atmosphere.

Although most of the spectators who spent a lot of money to enter the infield sat in an extremely remote position, the slanted layout of the venue seats helped them avoid the obstruction of the field of view, and they could see the actions on the stage clearly with the help of binoculars.

This threshold alone already classifies the people of Vienna, but the really high-ranking people don't bother to sit in the back row and watch.

While the spectators in the back row were enjoying the envious gazes of the outsiders, they were also being scorned by this group of people, and even more indifferently ignored.

The rich people's viewing area was cut into pieces by them. To them, the people behind the fifth row were no different from the poor people outside the stadium. Only the first five rows were considered high-end.Only entering the top five rows is considered a real entry, and it also means endless competition between the slightest.

The surgery plaza is designed as a combination of large and small semicircles.

The audience takes their seats in the large semicircle to the south of the operating table, while King Franz, Prime Minister Richard, Foreign Minister Carl, French Ambassador Edward and their relatives are seated in the small semicircle to the south of the operating table, which is also the power center of the operation .

Just like the vip boxes in theaters are not for watching dramas, the seats in surgery theaters are not for watching surgeries, but to be as close to the center of power as possible.

Therefore, the selling price of the first row of seats is much more expensive, and the central 1/3 of the entire row is a real prime location.

If it is said that buying the next ticket is considered rich, then to enter the top five rows must be a prominent figure in Vienna.And those who can occupy the entire prime location in the first row must be masters of power and money, and both are indispensable.

Laszlo is such a ruthless person, and his arrival is bound to cause a chemical reaction.

"Mr. Laszlo." Bergett's father, Chrissy, was sitting beside him. When he saw someone approaching, he quickly got up and took Elena to greet him, "This temporary surgery square is really impressive, I think. No worse than the Burgtheater at all."

"The time is too tight, and the location is a bit random." Laszlo turned around with a smile, took off his hat to Franz on the stage, and then explained, "Actually, in my opinion, the death row prisoner should not be placed in Huo It is not auspicious to be executed in front of the Forborg Palace."

"Probably the idea of ​​some eccentric Frenchman."

Chrissy is a member of the House of Lords and has always looked down on businessmen.

But compared to the indifference when they hurriedly dealt with each other at the last Naya ball, now they are much more enthusiastic: "Today is a rare opportunity, Mr. Laszlo, I would like to ask when the steel factory we jointly established will be ready?"

Before he could finish speaking, a young man came from behind Laszlo, asked him to sit in his seat, and introduced, "This is my son. He just came back from New York last week."

"Mr. Viscount, you can call me Felix or Karl." The young man was dressed in a neat suit with a look of vigor, and his manner when he spoke was much more humble than his father, "Forget it, let me call me Felix .”

Chrissy was taken aback for a moment, and could only accept the topic he wanted to talk about, and nodded with a smile and shook hands.

But being passive is not his style, and he soon exchanged pleasantries with Naya on the other side: "Naya is still so beautiful, Bergett will be very happy to see him on stage."

Naya smiled on her face, and her heart was pounding. Due to the pressure from her father, she could only make a few perfunctory sentences before retreating to sit next to her mother.

Laszlo knew what Chrissy was planning, but it was far from the time to find a husband for Naya, so he had no intention of talking about the steel factory.This made Chrissy sweat a little, because it is impossible to set up a factory without Laszlo's investment.

"Mr. Chrissy." The young Felix suddenly said, "I have heard from my father about the steel plant project you proposed, and there are still some details that need to be discussed with you."

Chrissy was a little at a loss by this sudden change: "Why are you here to talk?"

Only then did Laszlo explain: "Mr. Viscount, don't be nervous. Felix is ​​very smart. Although he is only 19 years old, he can already do business. I will slowly hand over the next steel industry to him. , Let him share the pressure for me."

"But."

"You also know that iron and steel smelting technology is changing with each passing day. The French, the British, and the Germans are all developing. I am also old, and my business in steel can't keep up with the changes of the times." Laszlo didn't want to listen to him at all. "I still have to get my hands on my real estate."

The son on the left hand talks about building a factory, and the daughter on the right uses his daughter to restrain and pull him. Chrissy thought that Bergert, who had always been fascinated by Naya, could only give in to this entrepreneur.

What Britain, France and Germany, and what innovations in smelting methods are all excuses. Who doesn't know that he has invested in several steel factories in Germany.To put it bluntly, no matter who fights who in Europe, as long as he protects the life and safety of his family, he will never lose money.

In front of Laszlo, Chrissy's weight is not enough to look at, whether it is money or power, it is a complete defeat.

He felt very aggrieved that the dignified viscount would bow down to such a person, but the war between Pu and Austria was imminent.Although Austria has a great chance of winning, if something goes wrong in Vienna, the fight is all about financial resources, and the title he inherited is a p.

By that time, the Vienna title deed I held was useless paper, and only reliable real estate could sustain the livelihood of the whole family.

There are at most two months before the war, and only Laszlo can build a steel plant in such a short period of time.In order to continue the business smoothly, Chrissy didn't even dare to show his disappointment on his face, and could only say lightly: "It seems that I will be working with Mr. Felix for a long time to come."

"Don't worry, Mr. Viscount, I won't let you down."

Conversations like that between Clichy and Laszlo can be seen everywhere in this makeshift operating plaza.Gatherings of the upper class are always accompanied by showing off and business, and it is also always accompanied by the realization and exchange of interests between politicians and businessmen.

This kind of interest includes power, money, or other things that cannot be grasped or touched.

In the other corner, the relationship between politics and business has gone beyond the scope of basic money. It is also introducing people, but it has reached a height that Clichy will never touch.

The one who was speaking was Jenny, who had previously been promoting electrotherapy at St. Mary's Hospital. She was surrounded by another girl, and in front of her was the target they needed to attack, the French ambassador, Edward.

It is not easy for girls to survive in Vienna, and they are still in the upper-class celebrity circle. They urgently need a backer to support them to gain a firm foothold.Physicians like Ed Nelson, who are only fit to sit in the seventh row, have neither money nor power, so they are definitely not a good choice.

Edward is different, even the king has to give him face, as can be seen from this operation.

"Mr. Edward, this is my friend Cecilia." The two ladies successfully coaxed Edward aside with their beauty, "She has always admired your name, but she has never had a chance to meet her."

"Mr. Ambassador."

Cecilia was much shyer than Jenny, but she was still willing to let him kiss the back of her hand.

In fact, after leaving the basement, Edward has been wondering whether something is wrong with him, and the women he found seem to be difficult for him to react.He also saw a doctor once, but the doctor couldn't come to a conclusion, so he just prescribed some herbal medicine and sent him away.

He has been taking herbal medicine for two days, and he really needs to have an in-depth communication with the girls now.

However, there were more and more people in the venue, and the lecture chair was imminent. Edward didn't dare to lose the chain: "Now I still need to prepare for the next chair job. After the operation is over, I will treat you to dinner."

"I won't take too much of your time."

Jenny is a veteran in this field. Seeing that the other party is a temperamental person, it is impossible to be uninterested in them, so she simply opened the conversation.Now that the fish is hooked, you can ask more questions, and even try to make some suggestions: "I heard that you have been looking for a doctor recently?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Jenny nodded with a smile, took out the VIP membership card of the nursing home from her bag, and handed it over: "If Mr. Ambassador needs it, you can come to us to rest. We have the best spa equipment in Vienna, Electrotherapy equipment, treatment packages and endless views.”

"Yes, the scenery is very nice, it would be a pity not to go." Cecilia echoed.

"Especially the recently introduced electrotherapy equipment, which can quickly relieve fatigue and pain in the body, and has a certain health care effect on the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs." Compared with St. Mary's Hospital, Jenny's sales are more Proficient, "Patients receiving electrotherapy for the first time can also get a special men's electric belt."

After that, she dug out a poster that could revive men in her small bag, and immediately put Edward in it.

"It looks amazing."

"This is the real experience left by hundreds of thousands of users."

"Not bad, not bad, I will visit when I am free." Rehabilitation is not suitable for Edward's consumption pattern, he promised this matter more because of that belt and the two beauties in front of him, "The girls are also here to see Is it surgery?"

"The tickets for this operation are too expensive." Cecilia shook her head in embarrassment.

Edward had wanted the two of them to sit with him and be company during the surgical demonstration.But turning around and looking at the posture in front of him and the tremendous pressure brought by the power, he gave up at the last moment: "After the operation is over, I will take you to eat real French food, how about it?"

"Okay okay."

The two of them never expected that Edward would be so lustful. In just 2 minutes, a dozen dialogues increased the completion of the strategy by more than half.The next step is the old routine of exchanging between beauty, money and power, which is not difficult for the two of them.

After bidding farewell to Edward with a smile, the two began to turn their attention to the rich people in the venue.

Electrotherapy is indeed an extremely popular treatment method, an application and practice of cutting-edge technology.Many people will try it out of curiosity, and once they try it, they will fall into their pre-designed trap, thinking that electrotherapy itself is effective.

The leaflets and introductions are a bit old-fashioned, but they are a good way for them to spread their own value and ability, and they can find many audiences by going around the venue twice.

It is true that the level of medical treatment in the 19th century was too poor, and various chronic poisonings and infections were not uncommon, so it is natural to be interested in new technologies such as electrotherapy.

This is what Jenny and Cecilia saw.

This temporary operation plaza provided them with a large number of potential clients, nobles, noble ladies, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs' wives, and countless descendants. As long as they could attract one person, they could increase their income considerably.

Like other vendors selling snacks and snacks, they kept going back and forth between the venues until Edward picked up the loudspeaker.

"Cough cough cough, hello, everyone, please be quiet, please listen to me."

After the sound came out, Edward took another sip of water and began to increase the volume: "I am the French ambassador to Vienna, Edward, and many people may have seen me in the newspapers."

He put down the loudspeaker again and scanned the venue completely, as if he wanted to remember everyone's appearance in his heart.

And this move made the venue gradually quiet down: "If I remove my work, I am actually an ordinary Frenchman, an ordinary Frenchman who loves Austria, music, wine, and this city. People. Because my job allows me to live on the beautiful banks of the Danube for a long time, Vienna is my second home for me.”

These two sentences won a lot of applause, and everyone's eyes were focused on him: "It's a pity that a scum appeared in this city recently, a complete murderer, a devil! He kills, divides corpses, and even ate their flesh and chewed their bones."

Speaking of the excitement, Edward couldn't help but pause for a while, giving himself some buffer time: "Oh, my brave clerk, if it wasn't for saving me, if it wasn't for letting me escape, you wouldn't have died at all In the hands of that villain!"

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in good time: "Fortunately, the brave Vienna police caught this heinous criminal. I should have hanged him myself, but the merciful God did not allow me to do so. Considering that he is terminally ill, We chose to judge him in a whole new way!

Now I declare that the trial operation begins now! ! ! "
