Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 119 Table Discussion

  Family dining in Earl’s Court of Queensland is a combination of Chinese and Western. This is because Li Fushou likes Chinese food the most, but he also likes to eat steak, cheese, foie gras, smoked fish and salmon caviar, thus forming a unique dining style.

  Half of dinner

  The atmosphere on the dining table became active. Gentlemen and ladies talked politely and quietly. During the meal, there was no sound of clashing of knives and forks. The etiquette of European aristocrats was difficult to learn. This was the result of everyone's hard work for a long time.

  The only exception is Li Fushou, who is struggling to solve the second plate of roast lamb, eating a greasy "baby chir".

Then he pushed the plate with only bones forward with satisfaction, took the hot towel and wiped his mouth, and wiped his hands with a hot towel, sighed comfortably, and said; Not bad, it seems time to give him a raise."

"The little one thanked the old man on behalf of the old man first. This bad old man doesn't know the blessing he has cultivated in his life, and he will let him come to thank him." The housekeeper Li An graciously took away the plate and handed it to the one behind him. maid.

This maid was Xia Guan, and Xia Guan took the leftover dishes in a low mood, and watched the waiter not far away sitting at the table and talking to the sweet girl in a low voice. Her smile was full, and her heart couldn't help but feel bitter. .

  How smart the housekeeper Li An is, he immediately noticed the subtle fluctuations in his emotions, and stared at Xia Guan with his eyes, the warning was very obvious;

  Girl, please be alert to me, otherwise I won’t have to wait here.

  The steward Li Ang controls the scheduling rights of the dinner waiter, and he can change at any time if he doesn't perform well. This is the most concerned thing of the close maids, and no one dares to offend him.

  Don't watch the girl attending the case fly up to the branch and become a phoenix, but if you are a maid, you must guard the duty of a maid.

  During meal

  The master can only have two maidservants taking turns to wait, pouring wine, arranging vegetables, handing towels, and wide seats. Other maids can’t mess around, otherwise the rules will be broken.

Mrs.    is also served by two maids, and everyone else is served by one maid, so not everyone has the opportunity to be in class.

  All the maids want to serve the master, and if they retreat to serve the wife, the others do not matter.

  I came to Europa this time, and only the master was accompanied by 12 close girls, plus the beautiful female Niggelis, Xia Guan, Qiuyue and the British close maids in the castle. How many people are there?

  Two people a day, the performance almost missed a week.

  Although Xiang Niu'er, Sweet Niu'er and Sister-in-law have now been promoted as aunts, there are still a lot of big girls left, all of whom are in fierce competition for the two positions served by the master.

  You don’t have to do it well, so, substitute.

  Xiaguan saw the housekeeper Li An glared fiercely, shivering in shock, and hurriedly grabbed a blessed look in the past begging.

  She is the maid’s life of the young lady, and now she is finally awake.

  Where there are people, there will be competition, and there will be rivers and lakes.

  All of this, Li Fushou didn't realize it.

   Even if he knows it, he doesn’t care. He is talking with Zheng Canghai, asking him to stay in the UK.

"Brother Canghai, the time to come to Europa is too tight this time. I am busy communicating with the upper-class people in London all day. Information and background. Only by doing a solid pre-investigation work can we take targeted strategies. We must know that bank mergers and acquisitions are not the first step, but the last step. Success often lies in a lot of tedious and meticulous work before. "

  Zheng Canghai did not dare to neglect, and nodded repeatedly. “I understand the humble duty, but I understand how to divide the work with Mr. Kestner, and where are the boundaries of the respective powers. I would like to ask the master to show you this.”

   "You two are the second generals of Huitong Bank. The comprehensive introduction of British-style mature bank management concepts is the main direction of Huitong Bank's reform. This is led by Mr. Kestner."

Li Fushou tapped his slender fingers on the dining table and said while thinking; “In terms of specific division of labor, you are the vice chairman and executive director of Huitong Bank, and belong to Mr. Kestner’s superior. But in terms of banking, you can let it go. In order to do a good job in financial and personnel supervision.

  All branches of Huitong Bank are handled here. We will act as branch supervisors and the foreigners hired are responsible for specific banking affairs, supervise each other, make progress together, and strengthen and expand Huitong Bank’s business.

  Middle-level and bottom-level banking personnel should also be equipped with two sets of Huayang teams as much as possible, and try to cultivate our own talents.

  I will continue to dispatch elite students from Australia to enrich the grassroots staff of Huitong Bank. Normandy Import and Export Company also does the same.

  Even if we spend a little more on personnel expenses, we can cultivate our own talents after a few years, and foreigners can kick it away.

I warn you to reduce internal consumption and do not hinder your specific business. Regarding the rewards and punishments of Huitong Bank’s personnel, in accordance with the principle of who handles and is responsible, every loan has a specific person responsible, approver, and approved supervisor, and there is a problem. Just ask you guys.

  Don’t forget that our Hongmen descendants have strict disciplines at Shanmen. Those who dare to forget their ancestors, eat inside and out, those who dare to greedy money, and those who dare to convey benefits can all be killed. "

  Li Fushou's tone became severe, and it was like a cold wind blowing in the restaurant. Everyone couldn't help stopping the knife and fork in their hands with a solemn expression, and the atmosphere followed his tone ups and downs.

Zheng Canghai heard a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, nodded like garlic, and wiped it with a hot towel with one hand trembling.

"Of course, if there is a penalty, there will be a reward." Li Fushou's tone eased, like a ray of summer sun blowing away the severe cold; "Brother Canghai has hosted me in Europe for a few years, and when Huitong Bank runs smoothly, branches Travel all over the European countries. If you want to be successful, you can just tell me and you will have reuse."

   "Master, please rest assured that the humble job is willing to take root in Europe and make contributions. No matter how many years, as long as the master feels that the humble job is still competent, he is willing to continue to do it."

   "Hehe... OK, good at diligence, it's not too late to study now."

Li Fushou smiled with relief, which made people return to the sunny early summer. Who knows what he said is chilling; "Brother Canghai is in Europe, Mr. Kestner is based in Australia, and I will send another one in the next step. The officer is based in the United States.

  With such hard work for several years, Huitong Bank’s ideal of Huitong World can be realized, and it will become a strong support for Red River Valley's various businesses in the world.

Don’t worry about it. Children in Australia will get the best education. Even if they have children in Europe, they can be sent to Australia for training. Red River Valley will hire the best European and American teachers to implement elite aristocratic education so that children can grow up. To be an excellent successor.

  Don’t worry, Brother Canghai, the next generation will definitely be better than us, isn’t it...hahahaha..."

  After a round of rounding, Li Fushou raised his head and laughed, Zheng Canghai and Mai Debang accompanied the cautious smile on their faces, it was inevitable that they looked a little bitter.

  There was originally a cautious thought that was too high to allow birds to fly, but now it has already been wiped out, and I dare not give birth to delusions at all.

Knowing that it is not over yet, Li Fushou instructed Fan Zhongzhai; "Zhongzhai, you have to say to the Australian Gate Zhongxingtang to organize a group of upright action men to set up branches in Europe. This is a key area for our future economic development. It is inevitable. There will be some unscrupulous children, no matter who finds that the crime is increased, all will be dealt with by thunder to deter Xiao Xiao."

   "Observe your humble duty, do it right away." Fan Zhongzhai stood up and replied in a solemn voice.

Li Fushou nodded and said, "Okay, you will be the contact person in the future. You will contact and report the message from the sub-rudder of the European Criminal Hall. You will also contact and report the headquarters instructions. This point will be recorded after you return. On the case."

   "Understand the humble job, record it, and take full-time responsibility."

"Ah, very good."

  Li Fushou nodded, and after eating a few pieces of fruit platter, he picked up a hot towel and wiped his hands on the dining table. He stood up and said, “I’m full, please continue to use it slowly.”

  After speaking, he turned and left. Everyone at the table put down their knives and forks, which meant the end of today’s dinner.

  From beginning to end

  Li Fushou did not explain to his wife Gu Liuyan, why did he buy a new room?

   Whether he understands or not, he does not need to explain, nor does he need to explain.

   is so overbearing, so bossy, but it still convinced women to worship the five-body cast.

  Li Fushou is tall and handsome, rich and powerful, wise and domineering, so that the inner house women can't afford the least resistance, and can only turn into finger-twisting, hoping to get a little more grace.

  Rebellion, there is no such thing.

  After dinner

  Li Fushou usually exercises with the guards, and then goes back to the study to deal with some affairs, until he goes to bed in the evening, he takes turns to rest with his aunts in each room.

  Today, it was supposed to be Fiona’s turn. Li Fushou said with a faint expression; “I’m a little tired today, so I’ll rest in the lady’s room, and you’ll be done after you go back.”

   "Slaves obey orders." Butler Li Xi took the order and left.

  In Queensland Castle, competition is everywhere.

  The butlers Li Ang, Li Xi and others who came to Europe this time encountered a strong challenge from the butler Lawrence at the Queensland Castle, which made them feel a serious crisis.

  Senior butler Lawrence was specially selected by Sir Ferdinand. With Sir Ferdinand’s harsh taste, the butler Lawrence was able to get a high salary of £60 a year. The management of the castle with many precious collections is enough to prove the outstanding ability and special professionalism.

Lawrence is an outstanding graduate of the Royal Butler College. He has been in this business for more than 20 years. Before that, he only served two hosts and served the first host for 21 years. After the original owner agreed, he was hired by Sir Ferdinand with a high salary. The beautiful castle has been in service for less than two years.

  So, Li Fushou is his third employer.

  The most important performance of a well-known British butler in Europe is loyalty, tight-talking, professional and meticulous service. He is widely praised by European aristocrats and is proud of having a British butler.

Frequent job-hopping is not the label of an excellent British butler. It is a common practice to serve only one main talent throughout his life. Therefore, after being retained by Li Fushou, Lawrence really did his best to host several successful luxurious night banquets in a row, which really won Li Fushou’s Highly praised.

  His annual salary has also risen from 60 pounds to 85 pounds, which is equivalent to the annual salary of an ordinary British mayor or county police chief, and is already a high-paying family among civilians.

  Of course, if compared with the nobility, it is still far behind.

  The butlers Li Ang and Li Xi smelled a serious crisis, and they cheered up like watchdogs. Their monthly bills were both £7 and £84 a year, which was one less than Lawrence.

  The key is that this is not a pound thing, but that the master has favored this British bastard. This is the worst thing that feels like the head of a domestic slave.

  Among the 8 butlers in the Red Fort, only Li Pingyue, the chief steward, is worth 10 pounds, and his outstanding contribution is 12 pretty maids. Now three of them have been promoted to aunts, and they have completely secured their position as stewards.

  Li Ang and Li Xi are in the second gear. The other housekeepers only have 4 to 5 pounds a month, which has widened the gap.
