There was a basin on the small cabinet next to the bed in the bedroom, and in the basin were chains, collars, handcuffs and other items.

Alan took out an old-fashioned manual razor under Monica's slightly horrified gaze.

Her hair has grown a little recently and is a bit prickly, so Master Allen plans to shave her hair himself tonight, just like a Red Cliff battle.

"Alan...I..."

Seeing so many props, maybe because it was the first time to play a prop game, Monica, who had just put her mind at ease, became nervous again, and her voice trembled a little.

"Hmm? You don't like it? But I do."

People always have to go through a process of adaptation. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it now. You will like it as you play.

…

Alan slept until he woke up naturally. He just opened his eyes, yawned, and turned his neck slightly.

"hiss……"

My whole neck feels sore and painful as if I had a stiff neck.

He wanted to raise his hand to rub his neck. When his right hand moved, the chain wrapped around his arm caused the collar on Monica's neck to move slightly, and the bell on the collar dinged. The sound finally brought Alan back to his senses.

Alan kicked Monica, who was still sleepy. Seeing that the girl showed no sign of waking up, he didn't want to bother with her anymore.

This is the first Italian wooden dog he has raised. He raised it for a night last night and it felt pretty good, except that its neck was a little strained. He had a lot of fun playing with it and didn't feel anything when its neck was clamped.

Now when I wake up from a good sleep, I feel like it’s difficult to turn my neck.

He shook the chains on his hands and prepared to call the servants to clean up the situation.

Just as Alan raised his hand to pull the bell, he was suddenly stunned.

Little wooden dog, raising a dog?

Hmm…

Monica is indeed his deputy general. Because of this little information, Alan seemed to suddenly have some inspiration.

…

In the past, the family didn't have much property, and with Matthias and Huth's management, Alan could handle it.

But what about later?

The family will have more and more businesses in the future, and Alan feels that he is not capable enough. Does he have to work hard on endless official duties every day?

Then what’s the point of making money?

The two or three hours of work every day is already so tiring. With more and more work to do in the future, won’t the Earl need to rest?

All your time is spent on work, so how can you have time for leisure and fun?

No, no…

Alan was about to shake his head, but the pain in his neck made him grimace again.

It's fun to play with your legs lifted up, but this little girl is squeezing them so tightly that it really hurts now.

…

I am still young, and I must not neglect one thing for another and must devote myself to my work.

We make money for a better life, but if we only focus on making money, how can we enjoy life?

Plus the thing I just thought about about raising a dog.

Alan suddenly had an idea: could he get more dogs?

…

For example, in some other Commonwealth countries, those small families have no hope of rising, and when their business reaches a certain scale, there is no hope of advancement.

These small families will return to their old ways and begin to pay attention to old things, such as social status, family origin, bloodline history and so on.

As long as they are particular, Alan will have a chance to raise a few more dogs, or in other words, recruit some more talents.

Like this old guy Patrice, although he is old, he can always bring surprises to Allen, which means he is old but his abilities are still strong.

Allen plans to set up a new advisory group at home, and all experienced veterans in various investment fields can be recruited.

…

Allen has never had a very systematic plan for the future in business. He just focuses on the present, takes one step at a time, and at most makes a little advance layout.

As time goes by, his ability is limited and he cannot be foolproof. Even if he can barely maintain it, it will be very difficult. It would be better to find more people and form a professional team to help him find and fill in the gaps.

If one person sees the shortcoming, ten people will see the long.

As long as he recruits enough and comprehensive talents, they can even help him find out more investment information in the future, which can also save Allen more free time.

It's impossible for Allen to be responsible for everything in the future, right?

Leave the hard work to them, and you can do the money making and fun yourself.

Well... the plan is perfect. I will inform Old Carl right away. This old guy is quite capable in this area. Let Old Carl help find out which talents can be recruited and are worth recruiting.

…

Alan shook the small chain on his hand and sat up suddenly.

"hiss……"

This time, not only my neck hurt, but I also felt a tingling pain in my back.

Naked and wearing slippers, Alan slowly moved to the small hall in the outer room and turned his head to look at his back in the mirror.

Near the two shoulder blades, there were two large red and swollen areas, like the Chinese character "八", covered with scratches, and the deep areas were scabby.

"damn it……"

Monica is such a bad woman!

Even if it hurts.

but……

How could there be so many scratches on a man's body?

Isn't this just making trouble?

Fortunately, I don’t need to travel recently.

…

Now his back was itchy and painful. This feeling made Alan, who had just shown some ambition, extremely unhappy and even a little violent. He went back to the bedroom in his slippers.

I took a look at a small prop that was placed at the end of the bed and was about to fall to the ground. There was a solid plastic ball in the middle, and two small leather belts extended from the middle on both sides of the ball.

Alan grabbed the ball in his mouth, and without caring whether Monica was asleep or not, he pulled her hair and stuffed the plastic ball into her mouth.

…

My body is in so much pain, how can this girl still sleep?

Why are you sleeping?

Get up and have fun again!

…

In the study, Alan, who had missed lunch, was looking at the faxed information sent back by old Carl with a bored look on his face.

The masseur next to him was gently applying medicine on Alan's back with a small cotton swab.

Hut stood beside the desk with a somewhat conflicted expression on his face.

…

The young master is welcome to play as much as he wants. Even though he played late last night, he took the initiative to give the crew a day off.

But it always plays like this, and it gets bigger and bigger...

This is not good. Now, the young master has suffered some minor injuries, and even the heroine of the movie is injured. This has disrupted the filming plan of the crew.

The female lead was injured, so the entire crew had to take a day off and quickly adjust the shooting plan.

The last time she filmed a movie, although it was fun, at least Meryl was able to maintain normal filming every day.

this time……

The heroine couldn't shoot every other day, and the Sifis were tired of it.

Cepheus is still able to hold his ground there, but Alan...

I don't even want to go now.

…

After the massage master applied the medicine and left with the medicine box, Hutt gently picked up the small blanket and covered Allen with it, saying softly, "Master...you are still young, please take care of your health."

“Yeah…I know!”

Alan pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed this time. He pretended to read the information seriously and waited for a few minutes. Finally, he finished reading the information faxed by Old Carl.

before……

There are many things that Allen doesn't quite understand, and much of his understanding of the United States is only superficial.

Regardless of whether it is contempt or something else, one thing that has to be admitted is that the entertainment industry there is well developed and the capital market is deep and chaotic.

Now, after comparing the information sent back by Old Carl, Alan found that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

…

Putting down the materials in his hand, he gestured to Hut to sit down first. Allen closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening them again. He glanced at Hut and said in a depressed voice, "Hut, I suddenly had an idea today. I want to set up an advisory group."

"Advisory Board?"

"Master... who are you?"

"Hmm..." Allen pointed to the information on the desk and said, "Have you read all the information Karl sent back?"

…

Hut glanced at the thick faxed materials. Of course he had read them all. Not only that, he already knew a lot of the contents.

This is all the achievements that old Carl has made in the United States in recent times, entrusted by the young master.

This information includes some films, scripts, etc. in the film and television industry that Allen asked him to check.

The rest, there are some small factories that Allen had asked him to investigate before, which are about to go bankrupt or have poor performance and are ready to be sold.

Finally, there is some slightly more private information that Carl had found out.

for example……

Some American local capital forces or families that may, or have the chance to, come into conflict with the industry that Allen is planning to get involved in in the future.

In places like Europe and the United States, where development is relatively slow, many industries seem to be constantly developing, but these industries are only making progress internally, and these advances are all normal industrial upgrades.

In theory, it is still like in the UK, where there is one position for each person and most industries are occupied by people. You can go in and try it out if you want to make a small effort.

But as long as you want to grow bigger, your competitors are clearly visible to you.

Allen's previous plan was to transfer the production line and open up new markets.

But now that he sees that he can cheat the Japanese and make more money, he has to change his plans in time.

…

"This advisory group matter..."

Alan recounted to Hut his thoughts in the morning in full.

"Master... do you want to support some small families that are our vassals?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"That……"

Hutt pondered for a moment. Raising a dog remotely...

Many noble families in Britain have it, but the young master has never learned much about it before.

"Master, I will go find some materials from home and you can take a look at them for reference."

He remembered that decades ago, the notebook of the earl of the previous generation had recorded information on this subject. At that time, it was a war period and people were in chaos. There were more opportunities to practice raising dogs. If one book was not enough, he could look through more books. Anyway, the Hill family had a lot of books in their collection, and the earls of previous generations had done this more or less, so it was not too late for the young master to learn it now.

…

"Oh? There is such a thing. Go find it now. Send a message to Karl and ask him to take action first!"

It really is Britain. There are such dog-raising experiences and family secrets. Alan was excited when he heard it. He urged Hut to find the book quickly. He was looking forward to learning such advanced knowledge.

…

The BBC headquarters building in London. The full name of BBC is British Broadcasting Corporation.

It covers all media businesses including radio and television stations and is the largest media in the world to date.

They have greater influence than several media outlets in the United States, mainly the BBC's radio and television programs, which cover such a large area!

Early in the morning, a group of four vans arrived, carrying a row of staff members with uniform badges on their chests.

The first person to get off the car was a short, fat black woman.

This person was wearing glasses with large gold-rimmed lenses, and her eyes looked very bright. She looked around and saw Ceylon, the host who was receiving her.

"Hello Ms. Ceylon, I'm Oprah Winfrey, the producer of The Oprah Show!"

"Hello, Ms. Oprah."

Ceylon was wearing a dark blue dress suitable for a professional woman. She shook hands with Oprah and her expression seemed a little cold and not very enthusiastic.

The Oprah Winfrey Show only became popular last year. The style of the show is very alternative. The female host is the one in front of you. The direction of the show is very diverse, mainly focusing on some current hot events or curious things.

In addition, there is also a lot of attention paid to children, women, racial discrimination, etc.

It is said that...

Although the show was established for quite some time, the producer and host Oprah was very ambitious. Once the show became popular, she left the TV station and went out on her own!

It is currently the most famous talk show in America.

…

The other party started contacting the BBC News Channel several months ago, wanting to work with the BBC to do an interview with Earl Allen.

The BBC looked down on her a bit, so the project was shelved.

But when some stubborn BBC team wanted to work on their own and contacted the Earl's housekeeper, they found that they were overthinking.

Not everyone likes to be interviewed, and the BBC is no exception. This time, they were decisively rejected.

Finally, as a last resort, the BBC pretended to cooperate with "The Oprah Winfrey Show". The two sides went out together and asked someone to convey a few words. Finally, they obtained the consent of Lord Allen. The other party's butler replied that they would have an afternoon to interview, but the other party put forward a more demanding condition.

Reporters and teams from the United States who want to enter the manor to interview His Excellency the Earl must provide a health certificate valid within 48 hours.

This condition is both unconventional and arrogant, and the target of it just happens to be a black female host.

…

But no one cares about the different treatment received by the American program team. Today is the second day since they arrived in the UK. Having just obtained their health certificates, the team, led by Oprah, can't wait to come to the BBC headquarters building to meet up with the BBC program team and prepare to go to Wales for an interview.

The time on the health certificate is calculated based on yesterday’s test time, so hurry up!

It’s too late, maybe the other party will make some new demands!

…

Ceylon looked at his watch. It was just past ten o'clock. Taking into account the distance, it would take more than three hours to reach Carmarthen.

"Ms. Oprah, let's go to the restaurant to eat something first. The journey is a bit far, so we will set off later. The Earl likes to take a lunch break, so he usually doesn't have time until after 2:30 in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Oprah's already dark face looked even darker.

I finally got around to interview you and I have to get a health certificate. Now that everything is ready, do I have to wait until the other party finishes their lunch break?
