British 1986

Mattia used to work with the old count, and he was a very practical young man.

Many of the old count's financial plans came from him.

Every time the old count got the plan prepared by Matthias, he would revise it, create it a second time, and then execute it.

In the end, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen.

Over the years, the young man has become a middle-aged man. Now, he suddenly has to face Allen, the new earl. To be honest, Mattia is still a little uncomfortable with it.

The new earl's style of doing things is different from that of the old earl.

For example, the old earl's personal hobby is wool.

He likes to ask people to find connections on all kinds of retired warships, and at scrap metal prices, or not even a penny, he can dismantle and maintain all kinds of weapons on the ship, and then drag them home to collect them.

In the past, Mattia had seen with his own eyes the old count stuffing torpedoes he got from nowhere into the basement of his home.

As for the new earl, his personal hobbies are not like those of the old earl. He likes to play, make movies and so on.

But Mattia was already used to this kind of hobby.

Matthias had more or less seen the aristocracy, especially the aristocracy of Great Britain, after following the old count for so many years.

They are a very autistic and self-proclaimed group. Every noble has all kinds of strange hobbies and likes.

Those who like to be ridden like horses, those who like to dress up in strange clothes, those who like to eat weird things, and even those who like all kinds of disgusting things.

Anyway, there is nothing they can't do except what you can't think of.

More famous in this regard is the princess's old father, Alan's good friend Charles Spencer. His father, the old Earl Spencer, has very strange hobbies. This old earl He is relatively stingy and is famous in the entire aristocratic circle!

When Princess Diana got married, Earl Spencer was not even willing to pay a decent dowry.

It is said that Matthias heard the old count accidentally mention that the famous saying of Earl Spencer was-no one could take a penny away from his hand!

He usually doesn't go out, he just likes to stay in his castle, lying on the pile of coins, being a miser, and never seeing his people all year round.

Compared with these people, the new count in the family just likes to make movies for fun, which is very normal!

Holding the report in his hand and thinking about these chores, he heard a gentle cough from Butler Hu Te.

Mattia came to his senses and stood up quickly. This was the butler's reminder that the Earl had arrived!

Allen just sat down, took a breath, took the tea cup and drank the black tea, and then started to look at the people attending today's meeting.

Um.

Sitting next to Huth is Matthias. He knows this person. He just met him a few days ago. On the left

The two old men looked at Allen and frowned slightly.

Because he was a little angry, Allen's eyes didn't look particularly friendly, but a little fierce. When he looked at the two old men, the two old men standing were shaking unnaturally, as if they were brave. Extremely small.

Seeing Allen's doubts, Hu Te said: "Master. These two are the heads of the radio factory and the food factory."

oh.

As soon as Hu Te said this, Allen understood why the two old men were acting so strangely.

One of the two old men being watched by Allen was the person in charge of the radio station. When he was young, as a team leader, his workers made some mistakes. He was hung up and beaten by the old count, and even now the one on the left My calves were still having trouble walking, which was the root cause of the problem at that time.

In the entire Earl's Mansion, whether it is the Earl, the housekeepers below, or all kinds of servants, they are all English, and they don't like to use Welsh people.

But the Welsh people living under the Earl's rule actually respect the Earl very much!

It's okay to be disrespectful. Those who have thorns in their heads have been chopped off by successive earls, and those who can be left behind are all honest people.

It can be said that the Hill family is currently the highest aristocratic family in the entire Wales except for the crown prince. Every word they say can make the entire central Wales, as well as the south and southeastern regions tremble.

As for why there is no such thing as the west and north.

It's all a national park and no one lives there.

Sometimes being beaten too much would give rise to a group of talented people who knew the current affairs, and they would begin to move closer to the Earl's Mansion and take refuge.

Sheriff Rex is this kind of person, but the person in charge of the radio station is simply psychologically shadowed and afraid.

No matter it is an old earl or a new earl, as long as his surname is Hill, he will be afraid!

"Hey, let me tell you something."

Withdrawing his gaze and ignoring those people who were behaving a little strangely, Allen reached out to take his notebook, flipped through it and then looked up at Matthias and said: "You are going to form a small inspection team recently to go to China." Let’s take a look at it and lay the foundation for our investment plan.”

"First of all, the personnel issue. In addition to you personally leading the team, translators! We have to find people for this ourselves. Although they will provide them when the time comes, we still need to find what we should find. We cannot just rely on one or two translators. .”

"I see!"

Mattia quickly wrote down a note. This was a normal situation. He only used the translator provided by the other party. What if he was cheated?

"In addition, find some drunkards, and they must be able to drink! They like to talk about things at the drinking table. If you can't drink, what if you sign a contract for me in a daze, hum! Find some drunkards who can drink, and let them Drinking company!"

"."

The new Earl was indeed different. His way of thinking about problems was different from the normal business model. Matthias did not dare to question and continued to record quickly.

"In addition, regarding the location of the new factory, don't use the place provided by the other party. I want you to pick it yourself! As for transportation, as long as you can pass the truck, don't worry about the other things. As for the location, try to pick it in a poor place. We don't Go where the other party has already developed!"

"???"

Mattia stopped writing and stared at the new earl who had just woken up with wide eyes. He said with some disbelief: "Your Excellency, this... this is not in line with the investment philosophy. If the other party has inconvenient transportation, the infrastructure construction will be difficult." If we can’t keep up, this will bring great inconvenience to our settlement and affect our profits.”

As he spoke, Mattia couldn't speak any more. He noticed that Allen slowly raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"I asked you to record it for you to execute, not for you to question me."

It was a very light sentence, but combined with Allen's expression, it put considerable pressure on Matthias, making him almost break out in a cold sweat.

"yes!"

Looking at these laymen, Allen felt a little tired and rubbed his brows. This can't be entirely blamed on Matthias. He considered the problem from the perspective of an investor and definitely wanted the other party to provide convenience in all aspects so that things would go smoothly. To enjoy what is already available, it is best if the factory is built and the equipment is put in place, then profits can be generated, but Allen does not see it that way.

You have to earn money, but you also have to develop relationships. This is a gap in ideological perspectives. His radio factory is just for exploring!

"Let me ask you, if I give ten thousand pounds to support a person's business, should I give the ten thousand pounds to a millionaire? Or should I give it to a poor bankrupt?"

"To the millionaire, these ten thousand pounds may generate profits and be earned back slowly. The risk is not great. However, for the millionaire, this money is just the icing on the cake. On the contrary, it gives the poor and bankrupt person It’s different for someone else. This is a timely help, giving him 10,000 pounds to start a business. Although the risk he has to bear has increased, as long as he succeeds, my gain will be the greatest!”

"As long as our factory teaches them how to produce, the goods produced will definitely generate profits! In this case, if we choose a poorer place to invest, the other party will value us as much as those in richer places. It’s incomparable!”

Mattia nodded subconsciously. Your Excellency, the Count, is not only investing in factories, but also investing in people!

"Sir, what about the traffic problem?"

"Don't worry, the radio is not a valuable thing. Trucks can transport it out. When the local area makes money, what do you think they will do in order to make more money?"

"Building roads.?"

Mattia followed Allen's train of thought and instantly thought of this possibility.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. This is a truth that most people understand!

"Yes! Our factory not only helps them make money, but also helps them develop. We can even donate another amount of money when they are building roads to give back or help them."

"What I want is for you to integrate into them, instead of being aloof and just thinking about making money. Once the relationship is established, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."

Allen still knows a lot about this aspect, not to mention that when it comes to foreign businessmen, wherever in China, it is hard currency!

As long as the attitude is in place, people will welcome him wherever he goes. It would be even better if this foreign businessman is more up-to-date and can actively integrate into the local area.

At some point, a foreign-invested factory like theirs is not just a factory, it can be said to be a political achievement.

But in those very affluent cities along the coast, if you want to grow bigger, you have to invest more and the competition is fierce. Allen doesn't want to join in the fun there. He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

If you pick a poor place and develop it, the environment will be much better than competing with other foreign companies in big cities!

"Yes! I understand, Your Excellency."

Mattia's expression was a little serious. Although this gentleman's idea is very weird, when he explained it in detail, he seemed quite ambitious. This is much more exciting than simply investing!

It’s not about the size of the investment, it’s about the nature of the matter.

"Are you the person in charge of the radio director?"

"It's your Excellency, I am!"

The person in charge of the radio station whose name was called by Allen looked a little trembling.

Seeing his performance, Allen looked down on him a little, and said: "Pack up a batch of those old-model radios in stock and give them to Matthias. This time, you will go for inspection, and you will also go with them! These radios in stock are Give them the radio as a gift!”

Allen glanced at the old guy who was the radio director, and then looked at Matthias again. This guy seemed to be more capable.

"When delivering these radios, you have to pick them up and give them to their schools and some official units. When delivering them, you have to call reporters from local newspapers and let them report them. The delivery must be effective!"

"yes!"

"Okay! Let me emphasize it one last time. Don't rush with the address. Choose a few more, give gifts to clear the way, and have a kind attitude! We invested in the past to make money, and they helped us make money. There is no conflict between the two parties, only Common interests, whoever messed up this matter, huh!"

Allen snorted coldly, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became cold. His sinister voice continued: "Whoever messes up, I will deal with it!"

Everyone present felt a chill. This person said that the solution was not as simple as unemployment.

This is a real physical solution!

After listening to Allen's explanation, everyone present, whether they were old or young, and even Butler Hu Te, who had been silent until now, stood up and answered yes in unison!

"Okay, let's go do the work. If you do it well, you will be rewarded!"

Allen stood up first. If he didn't leave, these people would not dare to move.

When passing by Hu Te, Allen said softly: "Ask the physical therapist to come to my room to help me with my neck. I didn't sleep well at noon, so my neck feels uncomfortable."

"Okay, young master, you can rest first and I will inform you later."

In a small city near Los Angeles, in a large abandoned factory.

Dozens of strong men, black and white, were lying on the ground.

One of them, a middle-aged white man who seemed to have a "high-class appearance" in both clothing and temperament, was dragged by a strong man like a dead dog to the gate of the factory, until he was dragged to the entrance of the factory. In front of a black Cadillac.

"Sir, that's him."

"Well wake him up."

The rear door of the Cadillac was half open, and old Carl was sitting in the car, crossing his legs and squinting at the strong man lying on the ground who had been knocked unconscious.

"ah!"

After hearing Old Karl's request, the strong man who dragged him here stepped hard on the calf of the man lying on the ground.

"Who are you?! What are you going to do?"

"My name is Carl, have you heard of me?"

Hearing Karl's name, the strong man on the ground raised his upper body, took a breath, and looked a little scared.

What a small gang like him is most afraid of is this kind of person who has money, status, power, and ruthless methods!

"Mr. Karl, if you need to use me, just send someone to notify me. Why use this method?"

The middle-aged man was a little indignant, but he didn't dare to express it too fiercely.

How could anyone knock on the door indiscriminately just to say something?

"Haha. I'm afraid you're dishonest. Here, take this."

Karl threw out a piece of printing paper with several pieces of information such as addresses recorded on it.

The middle-aged man picked up the paper on the ground with some confusion and looked at Karl again.

"These are the addresses of several printing plants. If you take people to destroy them, if the job is done well, you will be fine. If the job is not done well, you will be in trouble!"

Karl left this explanation and waved his hand. The strong man standing next to him bent down slightly to help him close the rear door and watched the Cadillac slowly start and drive away.
