At dinner, Louis Renault invited Qin Zhiyuan to dinner.

The dinner was held at the famous Grand Weaver restaurant in Paris. The restaurant opened in 1784 and is located in the garden next to the Louvre. The Grand Weaver restaurant has not been open to the public since ten years ago. It has become a private territory, and it has become impossible for ordinary people to dine.

Louis Renault's influence in Paris can be seen from the choice of restaurant. He only made a phone call, and then the car drove directly to the door of the restaurant.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Louis Renault arrived, an old man with white hair and beard was waiting at the door. This man was dressed in a black evening gown, very solemnly dressed, and his expression was very serious.

"Mr. Renault, welcome." Seeing Renault coming, the old man bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

"Hello, old Zack." Renault greeted casually.

When he saw Qin Zhiyuan, Old Zach did not speak casually, but kept a respectful and reserved smile. If such a smile appeared on the face of an Oriental, it could be described as neither arrogant nor humble.

Qin Zhiyuan smiled back and entered the door amid Louis Renault's polite voice.

The Grand Weaver Restaurant is elegantly and luxuriously decorated, with sculptures and murals full of French style everywhere. The painters are meticulous and do not miss even the smallest details, requiring perfection. The entire restaurant is like a graceful and luxurious work of art.

"This is the oldest restaurant in Paris. Many celebrities have been here. For example, this chair was where the great Napoleon sat." Guided by bright but not dazzling lights, Louis Renault introduced the restaurant's heritage.

There is a golden nameplate behind this chair with Napoleon's name on it. Qin Zhiyuan felt a little dazed, and the first thing that came to his mind was the dog in Foch's house. Then he remembered the silver bell-like laughter and the delicious Pinocchio cookies.

Qin Zhiyuan forced a smile and followed Louis Renault up to the second floor and into the box.

"Your people are very good. The factory managers think they only need simple training to be competent for most of the work. What's more rare is that they are all versatile and do not resist complex work, and they can complete it. This is the most incredible." Louis Renault tasted a spoonful of truffle fried goose liver and sighed to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Yes, they are all very good, I promised you." Qin Zhiyuan adjusted his mood. It was not easy to get recognition from an entrepreneur of Louis Renault's level.

"Yes, you promised. Thank you for your recommendation. I almost missed this opportunity." Louis Renault raised his glass to indicate.

France is now short of labor, and all factories are short of labor. This is a good opportunity for mergers and expansion. Louis Renault used to be powerless, and Qin Zhiyuan's appearance perfectly made up for it.

"We each take what we need, so there is no need to thank." Having said that, Qin Zhiyuan still raised his glass.

"Yes, we each get what we need, so I need more support. You may not know, Qin, I just acquired a steel plant. For this, I waited for five years before finally finding this opportunity. If it weren't for the lack of workers in that factory, I might have to wait another five years." Louis Renault was grateful. At his level, the gains and losses were not important, but the sense of achievement of achieving the goal was important.

"Congratulations, Louis." Qin Zhiyuan raised his glass.

"Thank you, so I have to do something to express my gratitude." Louis Renault took a sip of champagne, picked up the napkin and wiped his hands elegantly: "Recently, my factory has upgraded its machines. I have a batch of scrap steel to sell. Are you interested in taking it over?"

Scrap steel, this is a very magical thing. Just like a rag collector, he can always find antiques in the rags. There are also many tricks in scrap steel. For example, Japan, they built the largest fleet in the Far East by purchasing broken ships from the United States for dismantling. For example, China in another time and space, they bought a pile of scrap iron from Ukraine and built an aircraft carrier.

"Of course, I'm very interested." Qin Zhiyuan understood Louis Renault's good intentions.

"That's great. I'm worried about not being able to handle it. Your willingness to take over really helps me a lot. Uh... How about using salary to pay for the goods?" Louis Renault made a more tempting suggestion.

"Why not." This is equivalent to giving it away for free, Qin Zhiyuan accepted it with a smile.

"Okay, I won't worry about the transportation. I will ask someone to handle the necessary procedures tomorrow." Louis Renault needs more manpower, so he has to maintain his friendship with Qin Zhiyuan.

"Don't worry about transportation. I have nothing but people." Qin Zhiyuan knows how to be interesting.

Hahahaha...

The two of them burst into laughter at the same time, and the subsequent cooperation has been reached while talking and laughing.

After the meal, Qin Zhiyuan apologized and went out to the bathroom.

There was a waiter waiting at the door. Seeing Qin Zhiyuan go out, he led Qin Zhiyuan to the bathroom.

When he came back, Qin Zhiyuan just turned around the corridor and saw a familiar figure.

"Fayol, I'm sorry, I've been out long enough." Julie seemed to have drunk some wine, and her words were a little unclear.

"Play for a while longer, Julie. The Lyric Opera will be performing La Traviata tonight, and I have booked a box." Fayol followed Julie and strongly recommended it.

"No, I really don't want to go. I have to work tomorrow and can't play too late." Julie insisted, stumbling a little.

"Go, go, the famous Enrico Caruso will be on stage today. He usually performs at the Metropolitan Opera in the United States. It's a rare time for him to come back, you must not miss it." Fayol tried his best to persuade.

"Enrico Caruso? He is really good, but I still don't want to go." Julie shook her head and refused.

Perhaps because of shaking her head, Julie felt a little dizzy and raised her hand to hold the wall of the corridor.

Fayol reacted quickly, raised his hand to hold Julie's arm, and the other hand was about to hold Julie's waist.

Qin Zhiyuan took two quick steps, came behind Julie, raised his hand to pull Fayol's hand away, and held Julie.

Julie's face was bright red, and she had indeed drunk wine.

"Why did you drink so much?" Qin Zhiyuan was dissatisfied.

"It's you again, why are you here?" Fayol also drank wine, and when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, he shouted loudly.

"Qin, why are you here?" The moment she saw Qin Zhiyuan, Julie's eyes suddenly lit up, even brighter than the lights in the corridor.

"If I wasn't here, how much would you like to drink?" Qin Zhiyuan's tone was not without blame.

"I don't want you to care." Julie came back to her senses and wanted to break free from Qin Zhiyuan's support.

"No, you've drunk too much, come back with me." Seeing Julie drunk like this, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't let go.

Not to mention the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Foch and Pierre, even if Julie didn't have that kind of background, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't let it go. No matter what decision Julie made, she should be in a sober state. In this state, it was not appropriate for Julie to follow Fayol.
