Matthias used to work for the old count and was a very down-to-earth young man.
Many of the old earl's financial plans came from him.
Every time the old count received Matthias's plan, he would revise it, create it again, and then execute it...
Finally, something unexpected will happen...
Over the years, the young man has grown into a middle-aged man. Now, Matthias suddenly has to face the new Earl Allen. To be honest, he is still a little uncomfortable with it.
The new earl's style of doing things is somewhat different from that of the old earl.
…
For example, the old earl’s personal hobby is to take advantage of others.
He liked to ask people to use their connections to dismantle and maintain all kinds of weapons on various retired warships, at the price of scrap iron, or even without paying a penny, and then take them home for collection.
Matthias had even seen the old count stuff a torpedo he got from somewhere into the basement of his home...
The new earl's personal hobbies are different from the old earl's. He likes to play and make movies.
But Matthias is no longer surprised by this hobby.
Having followed the old earl for so many years, Matthias had more or less seen the aristocratic group, especially the British aristocratic group.
They are a very introverted and self-contained group. The hobbies of each noble are all strange and they like all kinds of things.
Some like to be ridden like horses, some like to wear strange clothes, some like to eat weird things, and some even like all kinds of disgusting things.
Anyway, there is nothing they can't do, only you can't think of it.
Another person who is quite famous in this regard is the princess's old father, the father of Allen's good friend Charles Spencer, the old Earl Spencer. His hobbies are very strange. The old earl is rather stingy and is well-known in the entire aristocratic circle!
When Princess Diana got married, Earl Spencer was unwilling to give even a decent dowry.
It is said that Matthias once heard the old earl mention by chance that Earl Spencer's famous saying was: No one could take a penny from him!
He usually doesn't go out. He likes to stay in his castle, lying on a pile of coins, like a miser. He is rarely seen for years.
Compared with these people, the new earl in the family just likes to make a movie for fun, which is already very normal!
Holding the report in my hand and thinking about these trivial matters, I heard a light cough from Butler Hut.
Matthias came to his senses and quickly stood up. This was the butler reminding him that the Count had arrived!
…
Alan just sat down, yawned, took the teacup and drank a sip of red tea, then began to look at the people attending the meeting today.
Um……
Sitting next to Huth was Matthias, whom he recognized, having just met a few days ago, on the left...
Alan frowned slightly when he saw the two old men.
Alan's eyes didn't look particularly friendly because he was a little grumpy after waking up, but a little fierce. When he looked at the two old men, the two old men standing there trembled slightly unnaturally, as if they were particularly timid.
Seeing Allen's confusion, Hut said, "Master...these two are the heads of the radio factory and the food factory."
oh……
As soon as Huth said that, Alan understood why the two old men behaved so strangely.
…
One of the two old men being stared at by Alan was the person in charge of the radio department. When he was young, he was a team leader. Because the workers under him made some mistakes, he was hung up and beaten by the old earl. Even now, he still cannot walk properly with his left calf, which was the root cause of the disease he suffered at that time.
In the entire Earl's Palace, whether it is the Earl, the butler, or all kinds of servants, they are all English. They do not like to employ Welsh people.
But the Welsh people living under the Earl's rule actually still have great respect for the Earl!
It is not acceptable to be disrespectful. The troublemakers have long been killed by successive earls, and those who remain are all honest people.
It can be said that the Hill family is currently the family with the highest aristocratic class in the entire Welsh region except for the Crown Prince. Every word they say can make the entire central, southern and southeastern Wales tremble.
As for why there is no such thing as the West and the North.
It's all national parks over there...no one lives over there.
Sometimes, when people are beaten too often, a group of heroes who know the times will emerge, and they will begin to move closer to and seek refuge in the Earl's Palace.
Sheriff Rex is one of these people, but the person in charge of the radio station is simply suffering from psychological trauma and fear.
No matter whether it is the old earl or the new earl, as long as his last name is Hill, he is afraid!
…
"Ahem...let me tell you."
Alan retracted his gaze and ignored the few people who behaved a little strangely. He reached out to take his notebook, flipped through it, looked up at Matthias and said, "You should form a small inspection team recently to go to China for an inspection to pave the way for our investment plan."
"First of all, regarding personnel, in addition to you leading the team yourself, we need translators! We have to find people ourselves. Although they will provide us with some, we still have to find the ones we need. We can't just rely on one or two translators."
"I see!"
Matthias quickly took up his pen to record it. This was a normal situation. He only used the translation provided by the other party. What if he got cheated?
"Also, find a few more drunkards, they have to be able to drink! They like to discuss matters over the wine table. If you can't drink, what if you sign some contract with me without thinking? Humph! Find some drunkards who can drink and have them drink with you!"
“…”
The new earl was indeed different. His way of thinking was different from the normal business model. Matthias did not dare to question him and continued to record quickly.
"Also, regarding the location of the new factory, don't use the place provided by the other party. I want you to choose it yourself! As for the transportation issue, as long as it can pass the truck, don't worry about the other things. As for the location, try to choose a poor place. We won't go to the place where the other party has already developed!"
"???"
Matthias stopped writing, stared at the new earl who had just woken up with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Sir... this... this does not conform to the investment concept. If the other party's transportation is not convenient and the infrastructure construction cannot keep up, it will bring great inconvenience to our settlement and affect profits..."
As he was talking, Matthias couldn't go on. He noticed that Alan slowly raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
"I asked you to record it so that you can execute it, not so that you can question me."
It was a very light sentence, but combined with Alan's expression, it brought considerable pressure to Matthias, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"yes!"
…
Looking at these laymen, Alan felt a little tired and rubbed his brows. This could not be entirely blamed on Matthias, as he was considering the issue from the perspective of an investor. He certainly wanted the other party to provide convenience in all aspects, so that he could enjoy the ready-made things. It would be best if the factory was built and the equipment was in place to generate profits. But Alan did not think so.
Money needs to be earned, but relationships also need to be established. This is the difference in thinking. His radio factory is just for exploring new paths!
…
"Let me ask you, if I take out 10,000 pounds and want to support someone in business, should I give it to a millionaire or to a poor bankrupt?"
"If I give this ten thousand pounds to a millionaire, it may generate some profit and he will earn it back slowly. The risk is not big, but... this money is just icing on the cake for the millionaire. On the contrary, it is different if I give it to a poor bankrupt. It is like timely help. Giving him ten thousand pounds to start a business may increase the risk, but as long as he succeeds, I will gain the most!"
"As long as we teach them how to produce, the products produced by our factory will definitely generate profits! In this case, if we choose to invest in a poorer place, the other party will value us more than those in wealthy places!"
Matthias nodded subconsciously. His Excellency the Count not only wants to invest in a factory, but also in people!
"Sir...the transportation problem."
"Don't worry. Radios are not expensive. Trucks can transport them here. Once they make money locally, what do you think they will do to make more money?"
“Road repair…?”
Matthias followed Alan's line 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 should not only help them make money, but also help them develop. We can even donate some money when they build roads to give back to them or help them."
"What I want is for you to integrate with them, instead of being high and mighty and only thinking about making money. If you build a good relationship, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future..."
Alan knows a lot about this aspect. Without going into details, as long as it involves foreign businessmen, foreign currency is hard currency everywhere in China!
As long as the attitude is right, people will welcome you wherever you go. It would be even better if the foreign businessman could be more sensible and actively integrate into the local community.
Sometimes, a foreign-invested factory like theirs is more than just a factory; it can be said to be a political achievement.
But... in those wealthy coastal cities, if you want to grow bigger, you have to invest more, and the competition is also fierce. Alan doesn't want to join in the fun there. He would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Pick a poorer place, and as long as it develops, the environment will be much better than competing with other foreign companies in big cities!
"Yes! I understand, sir."
Matthias's expression was a little serious. Although this gentleman had strange ideas, after he explained it in such detail, it seemed that he had great ambitions. This was much more exciting than simply investing!
This has nothing to do with the size of the investment, it's the nature of the matter.
…
"Are you the person in charge of the radio chief?"
"Yes... Your Excellency, it is me!"
The person in charge of the radio station who was named by Allen looked a little trembling.
Allen looked down on him and said, "Pick up a batch of old radios in stock and give them to Matthias. You should go with them on this inspection trip! Give them these radios in stock as gifts!"
Alan glanced at the old man who was the radio operator, then turned his gaze back to Matthias. This guy looked more capable after all.
"When sending these radios, we must select them and send them to their schools and some official units. When sending them, we must invite reporters from local newspapers to report on them. We must send them out to achieve results!"
"yes!"
…
"Okay! I'll emphasize it one last time. Don't rush the address. Choose a few. Use gifts to lead the way. Be kind! We used to invest to make money, and they helped us make money. There is no conflict between the two sides, only common interests. Whoever messes up this matter, humph!"
Allen snorted coldly, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly turned cold. He continued in a sinister voice, "Whoever messes up, I'll deal with him!"
Everyone present felt a chill. The solution he was talking about was not as simple as unemployment...
This is a real physical solution!
After hearing Alan's explanation, everyone present, young and old, even Butler Hutt who had been silent, stood up and answered in unison, "Yes!"
"Okay, go get to work. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded!"
Alan stood up first. Until he left, these people didn't dare to move.
When passing by Huth, Alan whispered, "Ask the physical therapist to come to my room to fix my neck. I didn't sleep well at noon, and my neck is a little uncomfortable."
"Okay, young master, you take a rest first, I will go and inform you later."
…
In a small city near Los Angeles, in a large abandoned factory.
There were dozens of strong men lying crookedly on the ground, both black and white.
One of them was a middle-aged white man who looked "top-notch" in terms of both his dress and temperament. He was dragged to the factory gate by a strong man like a dead dog, and was dragged to a black Cadillac parked in front of the factory gate.
"Sir, that's him."
"Well... wake him up."
The rear door of the Cadillac was half open. Old Carl was sitting inside the car, crossing his legs and glancing sideways at the sturdy man lying on the ground who had been knocked unconscious.
"ah!"
After hearing Old Carl's request, the sturdy man who dragged him here stepped hard on the calf of the man lying on the ground.
…
"Who are you?! What are you doing?"
"My name is Carl, have you heard of me?"
Hearing Karl's name, the sturdy man on the ground raised his upper body, took a breath, and looked a little fearful.
Small gangs like his are most afraid of people like this, who have money, status, power, and ruthless means!
"Mr. Karl, if you need me, just send someone to let me know. Why use this method?"
The middle-aged man was somewhat indignant, but did not dare to express it too strongly.
Who would come to someone's door without any reason just to say something?
"Haha... I was afraid you wouldn't behave yourself. Here, take this."
Carl threw out a piece of printed paper with some information such as addresses written on it.
The middle-aged man picked up the paper on the ground with some doubts and looked at Karl again.
"Here are the addresses of several printing factories. Bring your men to smash them. If you do a good job, you'll be fine. If you don't do a good job, you'll be in trouble!"
Karl left this instruction and waved his hand. The sturdy man standing next to him bent down slightly to help him close the back door, and watched the Cadillac slowly start and drive away.
