British 1986

Chapter 496 Butler Capel, have you forgotten something?

Seeing that Allen didn't answer the call, Boss Cha didn't care. He just reminded him that this was a trivial matter in his opinion. If you don't know, forget it. Now that there is some gossip, just pay a little attention. With Allen's ability, he can also Don't expect him to use this kind of information to "make trouble" in the financial market in advance.

"I heard that you went to Jordan some time ago? Did your little secretary climb a high branch?"

"Ah haha, Your Highness, I just went over to have fun. I also have a personal relationship with Prince Hussein."

Boss Cha stared at Allen and said with some meaning: "Please pay attention to your own affairs. The Americans are very active over there during this period. Last month, their affairs with the Chinese people... It's not like you don't know that the United Nations has been in a mess in Somalia recently. The trip I had planned was canceled due to the latest developments. It's because of this that I have been free these days. .”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, what can happen to me? They are all personal friends. Besides, our ambassador in Jordan and I have also made an explanation. If anything happens, he can also inform me." , as for other things”

Allen thought for a while to check what the boss said about Americans and Chinese. Isn't that because of the boat?

He didn't dare to touch this kind of thing. One was a new boss who was a villain in a local area, and the other was a small businessman doing "serious" business. If there was a conflict between the two parties, the problem was not on that boat, but on that boat. On both sides themselves.

To put it bluntly, the Americans are just trying to cause trouble by using this ship. Without this ship, there will be other ships, and any prohibited items are just excuses.

However, in the past two years, since the Americans have fully demonstrated their strength in the Middle East, they have become more and more arrogant. A lot of people have long been dissatisfied with them. There is something wrong with them.

You can do it, but it can't be so obvious, and you can't always sit on other people's heads. Just like Allen, even if he bullies people, he only picks out the big bullies. Ordinary people are too lazy to bully, and even if To bully people, you have to bully them into silence and in a reasonable and legal way. You can’t act recklessly regardless of the age. If you continue to do the same thing as before, you will suffer big losses in the long run. The Yankees are going to do it now. Someone came close to stabbing them.

According to what Boss Cha said, the situation in Somalia has been tense recently, so it is estimated that the Yankees will stumble here sooner or later, and Allen is ready to watch the show.

"By the way, you and I will go to Australia early next year."

"Going to Australia?"

Allen didn't care what he was going to do, but if Boss Cha said he was going to go, he would go along and hang out. Anyway, it wouldn't be bad for him to hang out too much.

"Well, participate in their National Day and invite me to give a speech."

Boss Cha looked at Allen as he just immersed himself in eating and didn't even raise his head when he spoke. He frowned and glared at Allen.

"Eat, eat, eat, did you hear what I said?!"

"I heard, Your Highness, where are you going? I'll be at your call anytime. Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. What's wrong with me eating something from you?"

"Get out of here after you finish eating!"

Boss Cha looked at Allen, who was such a meathead, and waved his hands a little irritably. After talking about the business, he started to chase people away.

Allen put down his fork and wiped his mouth. After half-full lunch, he started to chase people away. Boss Cha has become more and more irritable during this time. This temper is bad. Is this how you treat your loyal ministers?

Seeing Allen salute and almost walk out of the restaurant, Boss Cha always felt that he had said something less, but he was just too angry and couldn't think of it for a while.

Going downstairs and walking to the car, Allen glanced at the smiling Butler Capel. At this scene, should he get something before leaving?

"Butler Capel, have you forgotten something?"

"Uh, sir, what are you referring to?"

Butler Capel was a little confused, and the smile on his face disappeared. Suddenly, his expression became a little unnatural, as if he had remembered something.

"Ah haha, since you can't remember, I'll do it myself. It's up to you to catch me a few chickens according to the quantity last time, and tell His Highness that I didn't have enough to eat today."

Allen stared at the somewhat familiar guard, who was still the unlucky guy from last time, and ordered him again to help him catch the chicken.

"."

After finishing today's trivial matters, the TV station was taken down, and the report to the leader was completed. Not only was the business done, but the schedule for the beginning of next year was also determined. Seeing that the New Year was only a few months away, Allen felt relaxed.

All that's left is to go to Sweden on a business trip next month to give a gift, and that'll be fine!

Ahaha, a good life is beckoning to him. As for whether the pound depreciates or not, Alan doesn't care at all. The living environment is different. In the place where he lived in his previous life, although prices have also risen, it was still boiling frogs in warm water. There is no big fanfare from the outside world. In addition, in the early years, everyone was poor. Does it matter whether prices rise or not? Does it matter to ordinary people?

In the 1980s and 1990s, the worst TV set could cost hundreds of dollars. How many ordinary families could afford it?

With a salary of just a few dozen yuan a month for ordinary people, isn’t that what they should be doing?

At that time, who would have thought that a few decades later, housing prices would be spiraling into the sky?

Could people at that time have imagined housing prices of several thousand per square meter or tens of thousands per square meter?

Unexpected

After resting at home for two days, Allen, who was free, frowned and sat in the new study, flipping through documents.

Now his private secretariat is on track. Every month a secretary rotates to the European Parliament headquarters in France, and Allen's office is on duty to help him collect news there.

The other secretaries followed him and went to work normally in the old manor. If anything happened, these secretaries would take care of it first. The bigger things would be handed over to Xiao Shitou, the intern housekeeper, and the bigger things would be handed over to Xiao Shitou, the intern housekeeper. Hu Te, the old butler, would only leave the bigger things to Allen in the end.

In this way, the workload on Allen's hands has been greatly reduced. On average, he only needs to process one or two documents a day, and they are not urgently needed. Even if he is lazy for a few days, he can just deal with them in a few days.

Everything is on track, except for the current lack of funds, which has temporarily suspended many industries and is trying to maintain them, everything else is fine.

The document in front of me is about the plan to "revitalize Carmarthenshire's economy" requested by Allen last time, a summary of the investment projects attracted from China.

Among them was the breakfast stall that Alan had seen in Cardiff a few days ago.

These are the people who came over there. They felt that the development of Carmarthenshire was a bit too competitive, so they dispersed spontaneously.

The rest also shipped the first batch of small commodities, which are not very high-end even in China. The main thing is that they are cheap!

Some samples of these things were placed on Allen's desk for him to review.

The red iron sheet has peonies, mandarin ducks and other patterns on it. It is this old-fashioned thermos bottle. It is said that it is still China's top export product.

Allen took the thermos bottle. It felt very solid in his hand. This thing is not comparable to the plastic thermos bottles that would be used a few decades later. Nowadays, Chinese people are still very simple. The idea behind the products they produce is that the quality can be as good as they can be. What? The plan to scrap it was never thought of.

Both the external and internal materials are very solid and of good quality. There are no other shortcomings except that the appearance is a bit earthy.

Looking around the world, it seems that only Chinese people like to drink boiled water, or hot water. People in other places like to drink cold water, except for making tea.

But things like thermos bottles don’t necessarily have to hold drinking water. They can hold hot coffee or hot milk. As long as they are cheap, they are very popular even in Wales.

In addition to thermos bottles, they also obtained two other key products exported by China, towels and quilts and enamel basins.

Needless to say, the towel quilt is no worse than the same type of products produced in Britain in terms of craftsmanship and materials, but the key point is that even if this thing is imported, it is much cheaper than the stuff here in Britain.

This season is the time to sell these things. As for the enamel basin, let alone it. This thing is durable and the most important thing is that it looks good. Even if the pattern on it is a little bit earthy in Allen's opinion, But in the eyes of others, this is called full of exotic atmosphere!

After looking at these three flagship products one by one, there were still a few plastic bags left on the table, which contained packaged clothing samples.

Allen opened the plastic bag and found that the packaging inside was very crude. In his opinion, it was completely devoid of any business sense.

A good cotton short-sleeved shirt was folded and rolled into a roll, and the outside was tied with a wide strip of cloth, and that was it.

The style of the clothes, long-sleeved and short-sleeved, and what kind of patterns are printed on them are completely invisible unless you open the package.

After opening the package, Allen touched the material of the clothes. The pure cotton was very strong, but it felt a little hard. This should be a problem with the manufacturing equipment and process. The old-fashioned cotton short sleeves were like this, with no elasticity and a round neck. The pullover is getting bigger and bigger, and basically loses its shape after being washed a few times. The words "Serve the People" are printed on the chest, and there is a certain cotton spinning factory underneath.

Allen threw away the short-sleeved shirt and wrote an instruction on the document. These things can be sold first. Even the appearance does not need to be changed. It is just that the words on the short-sleeved shirt need to be slightly changed, such as changing to "God Save the Queen" and the like, that's about it, just sell them out in time for the current season.

After putting down the signed documents, Allen yawned and looked at the time on the wall clock. It was three forty, and it was tea time!

The old-fashioned pull-cord rattle has been replaced by a new electric bell. There is a hidden one on Allen's desk, like a power strip. You can usually press it down to hide it and keep the desk flat. When needed, Press down lightly with your finger, and the row in front will rise up like a roadblock. Above it is a row of buttons in different colors with text.

There is a call button to directly call the person on duty, a button to call for food when he is hungry, a button to call someone for a massage when he is tired, a button to take a shower, and a button to call the secretary. In this way, he can You don’t have to do the process of asking people to come in first and then telling them what to do. It’s more convenient to express what you want to do. The servants on duty outside the door can also save a lot of trouble. They usually just Just two people sitting in the duty room at the end of the corridor watching the surveillance and waiting.

After pressing the button for tea, Allen put down the files and leaned back on his chair. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the files on the Welsh TV station on the table. In the past few days, extra manpower had been sent to take over the TV station.

When I think of Welsh TV, Alan has his own arrangements.

First of all, we definitely can’t do what we did before, from time to time trying to create some reactionary messages but not doing it thoroughly. There is no other benefit besides making people laugh. As for bilingual programs, all of them should be cancelled!

What kind of bilingual program is this crappy local TV station trying to make a fool of itself on?

Normally, daytime programs should return to the main topic. In addition to normal news reports, they should create more serious TV programs. The ratings don't matter, as long as there are enough programs.

Sitting among the junior students from Cardiff University's Department of Journalism and Media, Allen planned to have people report more big and small news throughout Wales, recruit more college students, use internships as a temptation, trick them into working first, and then let them go. Go out and let these people visit every corner of Wales for the purpose of doing rural programs and reaching out to the masses. This will also make it easier for Allen to spy on the place secretly.

In this way, he not only saves money, but also increases his control over the entire Wales.

TV stations don’t have to make money by producing programs, but they must give Ellen the benefits of other places!

As long as he started doing this slowly, he would have to know whose chickens laid eggs in the whole of Wales!

As for the tape recorder that Allen had people take out in the TV station conference room that day.

That thing was put in secretly one day in advance by someone who made a show of it.

With today's technology, eavesdropping is very expensive!

It's just such a small tape, how many hours can it be recorded at most?

If every household does this, Mr. Allen will not be able to spend enough money no matter how much money he has.

They are all used to bluff people, to scare those old people who don’t know the ropes. They look high-end, but are actually useless.

If you really want to monitor a place, this seemingly aboveboard method is more effective and saves money.

As for profit-making projects, TV stations already broadcast serious programs during the day, so they have to be changed at night. They can't be like before, showing some scummy old movies from decades ago at night. That's too boring.

The large-scale wilderness survival dating program that Alan produced last year has not yet been negotiated with the BBC. He plans to broadcast it directly on Welsh TV.

In the future, Welsh TV stations will have to be pure and clean during the day, with no shortage of news of all kinds. At night, they will have to take a different route. We will show whatever the people like!

It's different at night. Who likes to watch the news before going to bed at night? Don't you want to watch some exciting programs?

And as the time period changes, the later the show, the larger the scale of the program.

Create a new and different Welsh TV!
