Marvel Plane Trader Chapter 33

  Chapter 33 Fundraising Reception

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

   This kind of sugar originally appeared after the 1950s.

   But the process is not complicated.

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

  The former has been extracted in the 1930s, but it has not been commercialized. The latter would not be discovered until the 1950s.

  But Josie only needs to have the former, because the latter is mainly used 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.

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

  When the other party started their business, Josie helped 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, University of Illinois and 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 make a move.

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

   At 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.

  Because of David Lebile's entanglement, 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?" 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 is 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? Just let those people know that I am doing well now." Margot smiled gently.

   "So is there anything I need to be aware of?" Josie asked.

   "Dress up handsomely!"

   Soon, it will be the weekend.

   Josie and Margot, who had been well-dressed, appeared on time at the venue of the reception—the luxurious manor of the Lebile family.

When they arrived, there were already many guests in the manor, and all kinds of luxury cars from 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 the Cadillac V16 in the system warehouse is taken out, it will still be more eye-catching.

   But now is not the time.

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

   But it wasn't enough to be his security.

   After all, bare feet are not afraid of wearing 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 without hindrance.

   "Hey, Margot, long time no see!" Just entering the venue, some acquaintances spotted Margot coming.

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

   "Long time no see, Goriel!" Margot also greeted the other party very warmly, obviously the two sides are very familiar.

   Immediately under Margot's apologetic eyes, 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 by the way.

  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 the 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 of them 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 this is a war in itself The bond fundraising reception, with war as the topic, can also be said to be very appropriate.

  However, it was exactly this kind of chat that Josie was deeply impressed by 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 during World War I, he was a logistics officer in the military, so he is not a military layman.

   During the conversation, some of Josie's judgments about the current war situation 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 become 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 Josie is going to join the army now, so he can only be an ordinary infantry soldier.

  Besides, 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 what Margot said, Patrick was stunned.

   I looked at Josie again, and it 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, and then at the mature and beautiful Margot.

  tsk...

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

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