Her fresh attitude leaves no doubt that she really enjoys her job.

                     While eating the delicious dishes, Tom quickly begins to skim the newspaper
                   articles, the annual reports and small video clips Olina has collected for him in a

                   file stored on his computer. It is about Kräsen's vice president, Klaus Bonnert. He

                   is the man who shaping the company for the outside world, and he has been
                   doing so for the past twenty years.

                     In the first picture, Klaus Bonnert looks like an ordinary young German

                   businessman who has just started a new job. The picture is from Kräsen's annual
                   report to shareholders in 1992. He is standing with a number of other neatly

                   dressed individuals, people from the board and people from Kräsen's
                   management. Bonner is tall, broad-shouldered and his wearing a grey suit that

                   seems a little too big for him, but that could be the 90’s influence. His face is

                   characteristically shaped with high cheekbones, a cheeky grin and a pair of large,
                   round childish eyes, framed by half-lengthy hairstyle. Olina has inserted a note to

                   him: that it is probably Gustav Kräsen who stands at the opposite end of the row.

                   It is Gustav Kräsen; there is no doubt about that. Gustav Kräsen stands with his
                   face partially hidden behind a pair of large sunglasses. He is probably in his early

                   thirties and has dark brown, strong hair that are unlike Klaus Bonnert’s hairdo,
                   it’s reasonably canny and well-cut in a flowing waves with relaxed side parting,

                   as an artist could have chosen it. His face is marked and masculine with a

                   charming cleft in the chin. He is around the same height as Klaus Bonnert, maybe
                   a little shorter. His dark complexion makes him look vibrant and healthy. His suit

                   is grey and is neatly fitting.

                     Tom browses further through the pictures. There are not many images of
                   Gustav Kräsen. According to German media, he avoids the public spotlight as he

                   has deliberately chosen a management profile that is the opposite of his

                   predecessors.
                     On the other hand, there are plenty of pictures and interviews with Klaus

                   Bonnert, his young wife and their two children, a boy and a girl, both in the

                   serious financial magazines and in the coloured press, which apparently follow
                   him and his family intensely, almost like the royals are followed in countries with

                   still existing monarchy.
                     In particular, there is an interview about Kräsen in DER BILD that catches his
