As a respectable Austrian nobleman, a highly esteemed diplomat, born in Vienna, living in Paris, pursuing the most beautiful and charming Parisian ladies, taking them in and out of the most expensive luxury stores and the most renowned concerts all day long, this lifestyle allows Mr. Feng Kromeier to boast to people at social gatherings without restraint.
