British 1986

Although he also has a big real estate project in Wales.

But those things are all people selling dog meat over sheep's heads, and they are purely money-making.

Allen is still very happy when he cheats others, but when it comes to his own business, he can't mess around, right?

Allen doesn't want to take on projects that he is not capable of or unfamiliar with, because the risks are too great.

He has plenty of money that needs to be spent.

The money he raised from Sony has been used to buy production lines and open new factories in recent years. The rest will be retained to pay for the purchase of Bentley.

But now that someone is kind enough to write him a letter, the benefits are all on the table. It would be a bit bad to give up rashly.

This gave Allen a headache.

Sighing, he handed Hu Te the finished work report and asked him to send it out for him. As for the current letter.

"Wait a minute. Please reply to Counselor Wang for me. Just tell him that I am busy with work recently and will send someone over to investigate when I have a chance."

Thousands of miles away in Nanhai Province of China, a passenger ship docked at the port of Kouhai City.

Since Nanhai Province was separated from Dongguang Province and established as a separate province in 1988, Nanhai Province has ushered in an explosive development wave.

People who live in the Mainland frequently go overseas. Some civil servants even resign or take temporary positions in order to try their best.

In recent years, China's commodity prices have broken through the barrier, and many things have moved closer to marketization.

Prices change every day. For example, the famous Zhonghua cigarettes used to cost more than one yuan per box, but now they have risen to ten yuan per box.

For a while, people in some remote areas could not even accept such a price increase.

Prices have increased, but wages have not increased much.

At this time, wages in some coastal provinces and cities quietly increased.

As for the areas farther west and inland, there is obviously a bit of a disconnect.

For example, in Allen's factory, workers' wages have now risen to more than 200 yuan a month.

In inland areas, wages are generally around 100 yuan.

That is to say, the wages of those skilled workers will be higher, but the wages are limited. More than 100 yuan is considered high.

Under such circumstances, news about someone becoming a household worth ten thousand yuan or someone becoming a big boss frequently appeared in various newspapers.

On the one hand, there are invisible price increases and dead wages that can be seen at a glance.

On one side is the feasting and feasting of the outside world.

In the face of temptation, there are always motivated people who want to give it a try.

Pan Shiyi looked at the passenger ship docking at the port in the distance, rubbed his face and sighed.

He was originally a young man from the northwest, but later he got the "iron rice bowl".

But with a salary of 100 yuan a month and a life in sight, Pan Shiyi, who was already very motivated, decided to resign and go to work after reading a lot of news.

In the past few years, he worked as a bricklayer and a salesperson, but was finally struck by reality.

Looking around at a loss, Pan Shiyi happened to catch up with the establishment of Nanhai Province in 1988. Stimulated by various favorable policies, Pan Shiyi seemed to see hope again.

Then

Pan Shiyi spent half a month in Kouhai City with only a few hundred yuan of assets left, and the money in his pocket could no longer support him.

I have no choice but to go back to my old job - moving bricks!

This time, Pan Shiyi had a long memory. A worker only earned two to three hundred yuan a day after working hard to move bricks. However, he quit his office job and traveled around in circles just to move bricks in Nanhai Province. ?

No no no.

He has even greater ambitions!

Later, he found a brick factory, discussed with the boss, and planned to contract the brick factory. He would use his sales ability to underwrite the bricks from the brick factory and become a second-tier dealer.

Pan Shiyi was lucky. With the establishment of Nanhai Province, a large amount of capital poured into Nanhai Province. There were serious capital and capital passing through Xiangjiang. It was very mixed.

But among the many capitals, the real estate industry is the most promising.

This brought an opportunity to Pan Shiyi.

The brick factory he contracted made money.

But the good times did not last long. The small brick factory could only eat some soup and water, but the big head could not eat at all.

Pan Shiyi, who has always been brave and courageous, took on another sales job, selling a house!

Many wealthy people or investors, after hearing the news about the vigorous development of Nanhai Province, are ready to come and take a look, especially the property market here, which is said to be extremely hot.

Pan Shiyi's idea was very simple. He squatted at the port to see if there were any fat sheep among the new guests!

According to his several years of sales experience, he has the experience to find those potential sheep from the crowd at a glance - that is, customers.

Looking at the passengers coming out of the port, suddenly two people caught Pan Shiyi's attention.

They were two people dressed in suits and leather shoes. There were five or six people wearing them. Especially the middle-aged man in front, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had an elegant look on his face. The young man following him looked like Like a secretary or assistant.

The clothes these two people were wearing didn't look like cheap goods. They looked confused when they came out of the port. While they were taking a taxi, Pan Shiyi pushed up his glasses and walked up to them.

"Boss, are you coming to the South China Sea for a trip?"

"."

The middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses frowned and looked at the young man in front of him. It took him a long time to realize that the other man was asking him if he was traveling.

The other party's accent was a bit strong, and he had trouble understanding the first question.

"Hello, hello. I'm here for inspection. Master, do you know if there is any place that makes traditional handicrafts here?"

The middle-aged man shook hands with Pan Shiyi, thinking that the other person was a taxi driver soliciting customers.

"???"

Pan Shiyi was a little confused by the other party's question.

Examine traditional crafts?

Do bricks count?

Looking at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him, Pan Shiyi took a closer look and saw that the big gold watch on his wrist was not fake. It was a fat sheep and he couldn't bear to give it up.

But when it comes to traditional crafts, he really doesn't know much about them.

Gritting his teeth, Pan Shiyi suddenly remembered the coconut sculpture he had seen on the roadside before.

"Boss, I do know a few traditional handicrafts, but some of them are traditional handicrafts of the ethnic minorities here. It's hard to introduce them in a short time. You might as well do it."

After listening to Pan Shiyi's words, the middle-aged man nodded with enlightenment, took out his wallet, and handed Pan Shiyi ten unity cards.

"Can you be our tour guide? This is the deposit."

Pan Shiyi looked at the other party and took out a handful of unity without blinking, confirming what he thought in his heart, these are fat sheep, and judging from their accent, they look a bit like people from Xiangjiang!

Driving his own broken van and picking up two "tourists", Pan Shiyi talked while driving.

The middle-aged people did not hide anything. They bluntly said that they were inspectors of a certain company in Xiangjiang. The task assigned to them by their boss was to inspect all parts of the country to see where there were any traditional handicrafts worth discovering. Then they would bring samples, conduct investigations, and go back Just report it.

Pan Shiyi, expressionless, drove the car, but his heart was filled with huge waves.

Listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, the other party's boss is a woman, and she is extremely young. She is very capable in Hong Kong, and she has even won the Asian Sister Championship before!

This is the first time in real life that Pan Shiyi has a new understanding of the words rich and idle.

The middle-aged man didn't say much about what the other party did. He only said that he had a good background and money. It was purely the boss's personal hobby to ask them to find these traditional handicrafts.

And the money spent on this every year is nearly one million pounds!

If you convert this slightly, wouldn't it be tens of millions of dollars?

Spend tens of millions every year just for personal hobbies? !

This is really rich. If I do a good job as a tour guide this time and get to know the other party, the other party can buy some houses from him in the future, and the kickback

Thinking of this, Pan Shiyi felt even hotter.

In Wales in early August, the temperature was rising steadily. At this time of year, Alan couldn't help but want to go on vacation.

But now the external situation is unstable and it is not safe to go out. In addition, there are so many accumulated affairs at home that need to be dealt with.

Sitting in the screening room, the explosion effect on the screen is very shocking. Of course, this shock is only for movies of this era.

This is the finished film of "Terminator 2" sent by Cameron. It was completed last week and Allen only had time to watch it today.

Overall, it was similar to what he remembered. Some details were a little rough, but the current equipment was so poor that it was already amazing to be able to produce such special effects.

He picked up the ice tea next to him and took a sip. Just as he put down the cup, there were slight footsteps behind him.

Allen looked up at Hu Te who had just entered.

"Master, His Highness's reply has arrived."

Huth handed a small envelope to Allen.

Opening the envelope, there were only a few words on the letter. It was an invitation. Boss Cha asked Allen to go to Highgrove Manor for dinner tomorrow.

Looking at the hastily written letter, Allen frowned slightly.

Boss Cha pays more attention to letters. Generally speaking, both the font and the seal at the end of the letter are in order.

But in today's letter, even Allen could see a hint of irritation between the lines. What happened?

He handed the letter to Hu Te and said, "Go and prepare. His Highness asked me to go there tomorrow."

"Okay, Master!"

August 2, 1990.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, a small convoy was driving on a road in the Welsh countryside.

Allen pressed the window switch and lit a cigarette impatiently.

On his lap was the newspaper he had just read, with a flaming photo on the front page.

Last night Iraq officially launched war against Kuwait.

As of press time, official war has broken out.

Allen looked at the news and felt irritated for some reason.

From an outsider's perspective, he now felt that Iraq was like a foolish son of a landlord who was being praised.

Step by step we have come to today.

This seemingly wolf-like action progressed by leaps and bounds. Kuwait looked like a child who was beaten by a strong man, with no power to fight back.

But sometimes, this short-lived victory in front of them can be charming. After a while, the Iraqis will not know whether they will regret it.

Allen sighed, man.

It can't be inflated, and it can't be flattered by people who are interested in it. Otherwise, the higher you jump, the harder you will fall when the time comes.

"Your Excellency?! You are here. Your Highness has been waiting for you all morning."

Capel opened the door of Allen's car very enthusiastically, helped Allen out of the car, and then personally took Allen to a small garden.

Looking at this garden, Allen knew this place. It was used by William's cow. This was Boss Cha's favorite garden. Every plant in it was planted, fertilized, and watered by him himself. , pruned, into which he poured a lot of emotion.

now

Boss Cha sat at the tea seat under the ordinary shelf, looking a little lonely.

"Your Highness?!"

Allen softly called Boss Cha who was about to fall asleep.

"Huh?! Oh. Allen is here, sit down."

Boss Cha pinched his eyebrows with his hand, looking a little melancholy.

Allen poured himself a cup of tea and waited for Boss Cha to speak.

It seems that I didn't make a mistake today. There is a high probability that I was caught by Boss Cha and came here to chat and talk to.

Sure enough, as soon as Allen took a sip of tea, Boss Cha spoke.

"My business empire is over!"

"."

Allen almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

What did you think it was?

Without looking at Allen's expression, Boss Cha said to himself: "Didn't you sponsor the team? The Queen happened to see the report on the team a few days ago, and asked out of curiosity, she also sponsored the brand I founded. knew."

"."

Allen raised his eyebrows, there was something going on here!

As long as he didn't make a mistake, his interest in eating melons would greatly increase.

"Why"

Boss Cha sighed again and said: "I just like to grow something and then sell the crops I have worked so hard to make into products. Is this wrong?!"

Allen blinked, and in the eyes of Boss Cha's doubtful eyes, he said very firmly: "Your Highness, you are not wrong at all!"

"Yes, so what, if I can't do it, I still can't do it. The Queen ordered me not to use my own name to sell the products from my farm."

"."

Allen felt a little baffled. Boss Cha made this thing just for his personal hobby. Although his products were sold at a relatively high price, he had a high status and celebrity effect. If something was grown by a crown prince himself, he could sell it for takeout. Can't it be higher?

It’s not like I’m forcing others to buy it.

Seeing the confusion in Allen's eyes, Boss Cha looked up at the sky and said with a look of despair: "I was complained, and the letter was sent to the Queen, saying that the products I sold were falsely advertised."

"."

It was this kind of weird reason. When it came to false propaganda, Allen remembered the samples that Capel sent to him at the beginning of the year. There was something called something in it. It was said that drinking it could detoxify.

No one really cares about whether this thing can detoxify, right?

What's even more disgusting is that he actually reported it.

It's funny when you think about it. The boss was investigated for being in his thirties or forties, and his parents were sued. What's more, unfortunately, the queen was so busy that she happened to see the report letter.

This is true.

Boss Cha has nothing to do, he is ambitiously building his organic product empire, and then

It didn't work in just a few months. This is really a sign that the late emperor had just started his business, but the middle road collapsed.

Faced with this situation, Allen didn't know what to do. The biggest advantage he had over Boss Cha was that he could play casually with someone taller to support him, but Boss Cha couldn't. His words and deeds... Just be careful when you're out there.

Now that someone has reported him, his business is at stake, not to mention this is the Queen's order.

Who dares to resist this?
