"Where are the newspapers?" Alan patted his head right after asking. He almost forgot that the newspapers published in the United States could not be delivered yet.

"Has the fax arrived?"

"It's being transmitted."

Hut had been waiting outside the door for half an hour, but Alan hadn't woken up yet and no one at home dared to wake him up. It wasn't an urgent matter anyway.

I took a breath. Anyone who hears such unlucky news right after getting up in the morning would feel unhappy!

"What happened? What's the reason?"

"Uh...it seems that when Meryl was interviewed, she talked about you, and the reporter there guessed something. You know, the reporters there like to make a fuss about nothing, and they always make a big fuss about anything..."

"Okay, I got it. When the fax is printed out, show it to me. Also, inform Karl that no matter which newspaper or TV station it is, or whoever it is, if there is any negative report or unpleasant words about me, send a lawyer's letter first. If there is no result within two days... let Karl handle it."

Although Allen was angry when he was criticized in China, people didn't know who he was specifically or whether he was scolded in the media. Ignorance is not to blame.

But if it goes abroad and is something produced by the American media, then we must strike back hard.

It just so happens that I have some money now, and I have business dealings with the top ten law firms in the United States.

Allen doesn't intend to indulge these bitches. He will use courtesy before force. I'll give you a lawyer's letter. If you know what's best for you, you should apologize in the newspaper. If you don't...

When there's a gun to their heads, it's not enough to just apologize.

…

"Yes, I understand!" As soon as he let Carl handle it, Hut understood what Allen meant. Old Carl used to do this and he could do it for decades in Britain. After going to America, the environment there was more relaxed and he was like a fish in water. Moreover, his identity was safer!

"What's on the agenda today?"

After watching the maid push the cart in, Alan asked about today's schedule.

He is quite lazy and sometimes he will wash himself, but most of the time he just sits on the edge of the bed after getting up and doesn't want to move.

For example, now, Huth was standing beside him reporting today's schedule, and the maid was holding a mouthwash cup and asking him to rinse his mouth first.

"Master... you invited three congressmen to your house for lunch at 11 o'clock in the morning, but you didn't have any plans for the afternoon. You were supposed to read a book..."

"Okay, I understand. Go and inform Karl, Uru..."

Alan took a mouthful of water, gulped it down a few times, and spit it into the basin. He then bared his teeth and waited for the maid to brush his teeth.

…

The three MPs who met with me at noon today are not formal members of the British Parliament. They are just regional MPs of the informal parliament in Wales.

He can barely be considered a local gentry.

These people are a few social elites who have no hope of rising in status but still have some prestige locally.

As native Welsh people, people like them could not even think about making further progress with their own abilities, but they could do so by relying on the earl's help.

What if the Welsh regional parliament is formally upgraded in three to five years?

Wouldn't that be a step to heaven?

The purpose of today's invitation is very simple. The time has come for His Excellency the Earl to use them!

…

It was a simple lunch in Allen's eyes. As he put down his fork, the other three congressmen put down their knives and forks one after another, wiped their mouths with napkins, and sat upright, ready to listen to the Earl's instructions.

"Bring some tea, and don't be shy... I asked you to come here for my personal matter."

…

"Your Excellency's private affairs are our Welsh affairs. How can we treat them as a joke?"

A middle-aged fat man with a slightly balding head smiled and eased the serious atmosphere.

"Oh……"

Alan glanced at him without saying anything, but the smile on his face made the middle-aged fat man very happy.

…

The maid pushed a dining cart with tea and placed cigarettes and ashtrays in front of Allen and each congressman.

"As you know, the land for my real estate project has been purchased. Do you need me to teach you how to do the rest?"

He picked up a cigarette and just put it to his lips, the congressman closest to Allen had already picked up a lighter, bent down and put the lighter to Allen's mouth.

Seeing Alan tilting his head to light a cigarette, he bent over and whispered, "Don't worry, sir. As long as we are here, the project will never start!"

"Humph, idiot... Be careful! Don't be crude! If this kind of reputation gets out, who will dare to invest in Wales in the future? Hmm!"

"You have your own team. You need to calm down and study the successful cases abroad! For example, the American ones. You need to be good at summarizing their experiences. We are here to make money and attract funds, not to rip off customers!"

"I'm not asking you to stop the project for a day! I'm asking you to stop it after a few days. Let the people below make some money. Don't make it so that everyone is angry and you only care about yourselves filling your stomachs!"

Alan raised his cigarette-holding hand and pointed at these pieces of trash with a serious tone.

How can you just think about doing a one-time deal?

It makes people feel regretful and unwilling!

Just like slaughtering a pig, it's a great move with one blow.

But that’s the way wealthy families play. Small families need to consider sustainable development.

Cut five pounds of meat today, and cut another five pounds of meat tomorrow. Take a break and let the pig heal its wounds. When it is healed, continue cutting meat. If you see the pig is about to run away, then you can kill it with one knife.

After cheating Hong Kong’s money this time, you can try another place next time. There are many places like island countries, South Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand, right?

There are always some wealthy people who have slowly become wealthy and want to come to Great Britain to develop. This is the opportunity!

…

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. I was arbitrary."

"Yes, Wales still depends on you to develop."

"Yes, yes, Wales cannot live without you. The Hill family will always be the hope of the Welsh people..."

Seeing that these people were still blowing more and more out of control, Alan raised his hand and the scene instantly became quiet.

After taking a look at a few of them, I realized that these guys weren't really useless and couldn't do anything.

But in front of a young noble lord, you acted like you knew everything and were impeccable. How could it be as refreshing as it is now to let Master Allen scold you and then give you some guidance?

…

There are many capable people in Britain!

But there are not many people who have both some ability and are good at flattering and currying favor with the powerful!

It is precisely because of this that Allen took a fancy to these three talented people who have progressive ideas and are dedicated to serving the country.

"Okay, go back and plan it well. You also need to cooperate well with each other. Pay attention to the frequency of problems and make sure to create just the right amount of obstacles. Finally, treat this plan as an experiment. Come up with a feasible process in the future, and it will be smoother next time you do it."

"I understand, Your Excellency..."

Seeing that Alan started to chase people away, the three congressmen quickly stood up and saluted. Today's lunch ended here.

…

"Hute!"

"I'm here... Master."

Under the surprised gazes of the three congressmen, Allen called the butler who had been waiting in the side hall and said, "Give each of them some of the specialties I brought back from Hong Kong this time, and take them back to share with their families."

When Hu Te heard this, he was stunned...

When the young master came back, he didn't bring anything.

But after only two or three seconds, Hut reacted. Although the funds he brought back had only arrived a few days ago, these should be the so-called "specialties", right?

Who says the British pound isn't a specialty?

Cash is a specialty! It also counts as money deposited into your account!

I took another look at the young master's slightly shaking fingers holding the cigarette. That's 20,000 pounds!

It’s not a lot, but it’s definitely not a small amount. For a count at this level, it’s just the right amount of reward!

"I understand, Master... Then I will personally see off the councillors."

"Okay, go ahead!"

…

I don't have many capable people under my command, so I have to take my time before doing anything.

After dealing with these congressmen, Alan was still worried about the brand.

When you invest in China in the future, the products you produce must have a brand, right?

There are some things to consider here. Of course, it would be fine to just give it a random name, but Alan wanted to get it done in one go.

For example...

Go find his good boss Charles and see if you can get some of his brand, the so-called brand designated by the British royal family.

It’s just a small crown logo printed on the outer packaging of the product. As long as you have this logo, no matter what the product is, your net worth will quadruple.

This thing looks very powerful, but if you want to use it, you have to find an excuse.

The last time he cried poor, Charles actually left him a truckload of food. It was a bit hard to cheat him. He couldn't write to cry poor again when it wasn't so long ago, right?

…

At this time, it is 49 Portland Street, London.

In a grandly decorated office, Counselor Wang, who had dined with Allen yesterday, was standing in front of the desk of a middle-aged man who looked very kind.

On the table in front of him were Allen's invitation letter, Hutt's business card, a small gift from Allen to Counselor Wang, and even the conversation between Counselor Wang and Allen during dinner, the other party's general tone, and even what they had eaten. All were clearly written on a document and placed in front of the middle-aged man.

"You mean, the other party is not only an earl, but also a very traditional old-fashioned nobleman, and he is very young. He seems to be very fond of us and very knowledgeable?"

"Yes... Leader, he keeps saying that he doesn't quite understand our rules, but he..."

Counselor Wang recalled for a moment, pointed to the information and said, "I observed his chopstick gestures. It doesn't look like he has just learned it. He is very skilled. This proves that he not only knows how to use chopsticks, but also his family's dishes are very authentic Hangzhou cuisine. This chef may be one of ours."

…

At that time, Allen asked Old York to find an authentic Chinese chef, which took a lot of effort, not because he couldn't afford the salary.

But these days, being a cook has a high income or is a skilled job.

And chefs who can go abroad are even more amazing. As long as they go abroad and save some money, they will open their own shop.

Being your own boss can earn you more than working as a chef for other people.

So, it is actually not easy to hire an authentic Chinese chef in London!

Counselor Wang worked his way back based on the dishes. It was not easy for Alan to find a chef, and Counselor Wang could also think of that. It was such a difficult task, but the earl really found such a chef and kept him at home. Doesn't this mean he likes Chinese food?

And this is just one of the small details in the meeting between the two.

…

"Hmm... this is interesting. His behavior logic is different from others. Do you think he has other intentions?"

"No... He behaved very normally, but too normally. I felt a little uneasy, but he didn't ask for much. Maybe he really meant well?"

The middle-aged man picked up various items and checked them one by one. He found Alan's invitation letter, took it out and looked at it carefully. It could be printed in Chinese, which proved that the other party was probably not very good at writing, or the writing was not good. But in order to show friendliness, he changed it to a printed invitation letter. It was a very thoughtful performance.

The gift that the other party gave to Counselor Wang was also very interesting, as he knew that Counselor Wang liked photography.

Although colleagues in the embassy probably have some understanding of the hobbies of the people involved, how did he know about a nobleman far away in Wales?

This proves that this person, at least, has connections in London!

He could accurately find out the personal preferences of a certain person in the embassy. This relationship was not an ordinary one. Without some power, one could not find out such details. On the contrary, they could not find out any information about this noble before Counselor Wang went to the appointment.

From these details, the middle-aged man felt that the nobleman was interesting!

The other party showed them his strength invisibly. This strength seemed a little illusory, but for someone with such energy, is there any need to question his own strength? !

"Haha...Okay, since the other party came with good intentions, it would be a bit too much for us to be suspicious. He is offering you a gift, so you should have more contact with him. Since he wants to invest, you should help him and take it one step at a time!"

“It’s the leader!”

Counselor Wang's face became serious. He glanced at the things on the table, his eyes lingered on the camera for a few seconds, then he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, leave the information and take the things. It's a gift from someone, and they've issued a certificate, so you can take it with confidence!"

The middle-aged man waited until Counselor Wang was about to reach the door before he slowly called out to him.

"Hehe...thank you, leader."

Counselor Wang quickly turned around and walked to the leader's desk in two steps. With a sweep of his left hand, he grabbed the invitation letter, the housekeeper's business card, and the letter of certification. With his right hand, he gently picked up the box of the cartoning machine and held it against his chest.

…

"You wait here for a moment, young master..." Hut looked at his watch. There were still fifteen minutes until two o'clock.

"The young master usually wakes up at two o'clock."

In another small meeting room in the side hall, Allen summoned Matthias.

Although he usually has an office in the manor, the manor is so big that he can only see his immediate boss, Huth, several times a day. Everyone is busy with their own things, and they are only called over for a face-to-face meeting when there is something to do.

Matthias came to see Huth early after lunch.

"Okay, Butler Hutt, please sit down for a while and let me take a look at the report."
