There is a saying: Spring brings life, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage.

It can be seen that winter is a season suitable for "hibernation". It is almost impossible to work and build houses in the East during this season. Orientals pay attention to blue bricks and red tiles when building houses, facing south and back to north, so that they can live comfortably. Westerners are different. They don't have high requirements and can just build a few pieces of wood.

Of course, the fireplace still needs to be built with bricks and concrete.

The Bois de Boulogne has nothing but many trees, and there is no surrounding organization to make a fuss. Basically, they can cut as many as they want.

The Paris government sent a construction team to help the First Brigade build a camp. After working for a long time, they couldn't even plan the camp well, which made Qin Zhiyuan, who was used to high efficiency, very angry. So Hu Tingfeng's men took over the work. In less than half a day, the first wooden house rose from the ground. Although the wood was still a little damp, it was enough to keep out the wind and rain.

This house became a template. The soldiers of the First Brigade lived in the warehouse temporarily provided by Old Renault. The work around Christmas became building houses.

After Qin Zhiyuan settled the troops, he went to Black Swan Castle, where Allen was waiting for him.

Allen's trip to the United States was unusually smooth.

Qin Zhiyuan originally thought that it would take some time to buy the patent for the zipper, but he didn't expect that the fact was quite different. There are not one but several patents for zippers now. Some people have only applied for patents, but have not put them into production. Instead, they are waiting for the price and want to sell the patents for profit at the right time.

After the start of World War I, the US economy was very bad. The price of steel was only five cents per pound, and the workers' weekly wages were six dollars. People's lives became difficult. After the war, Americans played the role of the savior of Europe, selling a large number of agricultural products and industrial products to Europe, but at the same time, in big cities such as Detroit and New York, people were rioting because of the lack of clothes.

Allen's appearance was just in time. He bought a patent for a zipper with only a small amount of money and brought it back to France.

"Boss, the design of this thing is not perfect, the production is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the price is expensive. It is not popular in the United States." Allen said bluntly, showing full professional ethics: "Of course, the name you gave it is very good, zipper, vivid image."

Allen knew that Qin Zhiyuan was the big boss of "LLL" company. As an employee of "LLL" company, Allen maintained enough respect for Qin Zhiyuan.

"Thank you for your hard work, Allen. Now your work is over. You can have a holiday and start a new job after Christmas." Qin Zhiyuan put himself in Allen's shoes.

Westerners pay attention to humanized management. Qin Zhiyuan knows this well. Take a holiday when it is time to take a holiday. Only by taking a break can you work better.

"Thank you, boss." Allen was obviously relieved.

Qin Zhiyuan's salary for Allen was not low, and Allen was worried that Qin Zhiyuan would be angry because the "zipper" did not have the expected value. Now it is wartime, Allen's job as a lawyer is not easy, and it is not easy to find a good job.

"Gao, take Allen to get a big gift package, and then send a car to take Allen home. Remember, take a big one!" Qin Zhiyuan reminded him intimately.

At this stage, although food is not very scarce, it is expensive. Because the First Brigade has the French Army Department as a backing, the supplies are not short, on the contrary, very rich. Qin Zhiyuan used the remaining supplies to prepare some big gift packages, ready to distribute to Mary and others as welfare, hoping that they can have a good Christmas. The big gift package is composed of some canned food, candy, chocolate, and some sparkling wine. These things may not be precious at ordinary times, but in this special time period, they can really let ordinary French people have a happy Christmas.

"Thank you, boss." Allen was overjoyed and followed Gao Hongshi out. He was really away from home for too long and now missed his family very much.

"Is this thing valuable?" Pierre wondered.

As soon as Alan left, Pierre picked up the sample Alan brought and questioned.

"It's valuable, at least more valuable than it looks." Qin Zhiyuan affirmed.

"I noticed that Alan said this thing is very expensive, so what do you plan to use it for?" Pierre was absent-minded.

"Clothes, backpacks, shoes, tents, etc., etc., there are many places to use it." Qin Zhiyuan picked up the phone and called Huang Fugui.

"That will increase the cost, and the masters in the logistics department may not pay for it." Pierre was from the logistics department and was not unfamiliar with the work process of the logistics department.

"It will definitely be!" Qin Zhiyuan vowed that with Garcia, everything can be discussed.

"You worm!" The relationship between Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan has reached the point where they can joke casually.

"Don't laugh at me, you too." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind.

"Humph!" Misha really couldn't listen anymore, snorted coldly and got upstairs to show that he would never go along with the crowd.

Just now on the road, Pierre offended Micha, and Micha was still angry. When he saw Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre preparing to team up to cheat the French Army Ministry, Micha's sense of justice overflowed.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered something. I need to pick a bedroom. Dear Misha, wait for me, can you help me..." Pierre was so thick-skinned that he jumped up from the sofa and chased after him.

The word "dear" does not have any special meaning. The French are always like this. They are used to sweet talk, just like the Chinese like to use interjections such as "hmm, ah ah" when speaking.

Qin Zhiyuan shook his head speechlessly and focused his attention on the receiver.

"Mr. Qin, you are looking for me?" Huang Fugui's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was very high.

"Leave the Marseille matter to your deputy, and you will return to Paris immediately. There is something to do." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to sort out the power in his hands.

"Okay, Mr. Qin." Huang Fugui said concisely.

Qin Zhiyuan then dialed the phone, this time to find Louis Renault.

"Qin, are you in Paris?" Old Renault's sense of smell was very sharp, as if he could smell the scent of the Bois de Boulogne across the telephone line.

"Yes, I'm back. I want to book your dinner time. Are you free?" Qin Zhiyuan invited Old Renault to dinner.

If you want to have dinner with someone like Old Renault, you must make an appointment in advance. Old Renault is too busy.

"Of course! According to your Oriental custom, you come back from the expedition, I want to welcome you, right?" Old Renault agreed.

It seems that Old Renault has done some homework during this period, otherwise he would not know that the Chinese have the "welcoming and dust-washing" thing. This is a good thing, proving that Qin Zhiyuan's status in Old Renault's heart is rising.

Soon it was dinner time, and Qin Zhiyuan entertained Old Renault at the Black Swan Castle.

The chef of the dinner was the chef of the First Brigade, who made several standard oriental home-cooked dishes. There was only one guest, Old Renault.

"I want to buy an island, any suggestions?" Qin Zhiyuan said shockingly.

"Island, do you want to be the king?" Old Renault said even more shockingly.
