She didn't know anything else, but she knew one thing: Lord Allen was very generous and he would reward talented people with titles!

But she is a woman and is naturally at a disadvantage in this regard. If she follows the Earl in the future, wouldn't that be a step to success?

Dame!

This is rare in the UK, and it is an achievement she cannot achieve even if she works on shows for her entire life!

…

"Haha, don't rush to make a decision. Go back and think about it slowly. When you have made up your mind, you can come to the manor to find Hu Te."

Alan was about to pat her on the shoulder, but just as he stretched out his hand, he realized that the other person was a lady and it would be impolite to do so.

"Okay, sir! I'll go back and think about it carefully!"

Ceylon was full of gratitude and once again felt Alan's kindness. This gentleman was so considerate that even in this situation, he still gave her enough time to consider.

…

After finishing today's photo shoot, Alan returned to the manor, washed up briefly, and went back to the study.

Huth was setting the table on the desk.

Alan likes to eat while reading documents. Based on his hobby, it has gradually evolved into placing some snacks or canapes next to him every time he works.

Today's meal is a small hot pot with a white soup base, and freshly cut lamb slices neatly arranged on a plate next to it.

Alan didn't rush to eat. He picked up the report on the table and looked at it first.

The first week box office results for "Deep Water" are out, and the UK box office is, as usual, not very good, at 1.4 million pounds, which is not too much, nor too little, and can be considered a normal level.

According to this trend, if nothing unexpected happens...

The total box office was expected to reach 5 million pounds, but now something unexpected has happened, so the box office will have to go up a little bit, and 6 million pounds is expected!

The box office in America really surprised Allen, with 7.32 million US dollars in the first week!

This number is already quite a lot. Coupled with the current public opinion, Allen has no idea whether the box office will reach 30 million US dollars before the movie is taken off the shelves.

Excluding the share of the theaters and taxes, if we calculate based on the box office of 30 million US dollars, he can get more than 10 million US dollars in revenue. Adding the miscellaneous income from other regions, this low-budget movie can bring him a total profit of nearly 20 million pounds!

This does not include the long-term income from selling videotapes!

Making movies is really profitable!

Alan thought of the various money laundering projects he had made up and stuffed into investment projects, which brought in nearly 10 million pounds.

If Sony hadn't appeared, Mr. Allen would have become a billionaire even if he had only relied on the movie business and accumulated a few years of experience!

Billionaire in Pounds!

…

Putting down the movie box office report, Allen picked up the application form sent by Cameron to acquire the special effects team.

Allen curled his lips when he saw Cameron was stingy and had offered a budget of two million U.S. dollars in preparation for negotiating the acquisition.

It seems that Cameron, who is used to being stingy, is still a little uncomfortable with the life after relying on the noble lord!

Alan picked up the pen and crossed out the words two million dollars, then wrote a new number on top!

Ten million US dollars!

This is like buying a horse with a lot of money. He values ​​talents in film special effects. As long as he can get these people, equipment and other things will be secondary!

How much is that worth?

Anyway, Allen doesn't have to pay for the acquisition.

Isn't there Sony?

The purpose of acquiring the special effects team is to make movies, so it is reasonable to include the expenses in the movie budget, right?

Then after the special effects team is acquired, Allen will set up a separate special effects company, make them independent, and then let them do the special effects for Cameron's new movie and charge a fee.

Use Sony's money to make Sony's money!

…

At the bottom of the document, it was emphasized again that Cameron should focus on recruiting people and not worry about the equipment.

Putting down the pen and raising his head, Alan sighed and twisted his neck. He glanced around and saw the maid standing at the door. He coughed lightly, pointed at his neck, and motioned her to come over and massage him.

"Master?"

"Um?"

Hut, who was sitting opposite Allen's desk, would review the documents he processed and then pack them up, sending those that needed to be sent out and faxing those that needed to be faxed. Now that he saw that Allen had finished his work, he spoke.

"You have a physical examination tomorrow, so you should rest early today."

"Okay, I got it. I'll take a break and finish these things."

Alan shook his neck and waited for the maid to give him a massage to relax him before he picked up the document with a different colored cover and began to look through it.

What is recorded here is what happened at home.

now……

Although the factory owned by the Hill family has not changed much, Allen is still prepared to make some changes slowly. It is not a good idea to just leave it alone.

He had no money before, but later he gradually had funds and was busy with the film and television company. Now it is a new year, of course he wants to develop these factories.

"Haoli" can also be translated as "get rich" or something like that. This is the name of his wool textile factory.

It mainly deals in wool products, which is considered a traditional industry of the nobility. Basically, most of the nobility own such factories.

The wool products factory in Allen's family has a history of about 300 years. It now mainly produces wool blankets and various woolen materials and fabrics. It is the first choice for foreign tourists to buy souvenirs when visiting Wales.

But profit is honest...

The entire factory can barely break even. If we want to modernize and upgrade, we have to invest money.

Allen plans to change the name of the factory and the trademark this year, and then...

Sponsor Manchester United!

From then on, Manchester United's uniforms were produced by wool textile factories.

In a few years, when Manchester United gradually becomes successful, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to transform into a clothing manufacturing company.

…

First mark the idea on the document, put it down and pick up another one. This is a tinplate factory. Its main products are cans and the like, which are special products of Wales. Occasionally, they also make some tourist souvenirs.

To be honest, Alan plans to transform this factory into a movie props production plant. Tinplate is of little use now. Many canning factories have upgraded their equipment, but his factory will have to spend a lot of money to upgrade its equipment. It mainly engages in supporting industries and basically follows the route of small profits but quick turnover. The output of Welsh Steel is just so-so, and without any raw material advantages, the investment return rate is not good, so Alan is too lazy to bother with it.

Of the remaining larger factories, all the equipment of the radio factory was moved to China, and the only other notable one left was a food manufacturing plant.

"Delicious" food factory.

The name sounds rustic, and the products they produce are varied, most of which are traditional snacks. You won’t make a lot of money from them, but you won’t starve to death either.

this……

Alan has an even bigger headache. The tinplate factory has transformed, so should the food manufacturing factory also transform?

After thinking for a long time, I still have no clue. I might as well do it this way for now and come up with some ideas later.

…

After finishing his housework, Alan picked up the manuscript paper again and wrote words like "Takeaway Employees Union", "Takeaway Customer Service Union", "Takeaway Map Survey Employees Union" and so on on the paper.

In Great Britain, or many Western countries, no matter what you do, you must have a trade union!

The same is true for new industries. Trade unions have both good and bad reputations. They can guarantee the interests of members under certain circumstances, but in certain situations, they can also exploit members in disguised form.

Alan wanted to set up this kind of thing first and fill it with his own people.

This is a new industry that he has come up with on his own. When the time comes, he can also invite many restaurants' exclusive deliverymen to join the association, and then contact various restaurants in turn, or he can use this channel to recruit wild deliverymen in the society.

…

"By the way! Have you discussed the veterans' issue?"

Alan suddenly looked up at Hut and asked.

"Before we left, I called Secretary Charlie, and there was no problem with his end."

"oh……"

Alan nodded and said, "That's fine. Secretary Charlie, it sounds like your position is not very high, but he works in the Navy Logistics Department and can play a role in many key issues."

For example, suggesting to the Logistics Department what to purchase in terms of military supplies is a lucrative job!

The magazine company under Allen is still shooting crappy magazines, and it uses the channels of Charlie's secretary.

If you want to transport something some time ago, you can use the navy logistics channels, which is safe and saves shipping costs!

"Alright! We've finished everything, just take your time!"

Alan put down his pen, basically all the big and small things were done, and it was time to get off work!

…

Early the next morning, a small convoy drove into the manor, including several ordinary private cars, followed by two ambulances.

In the lobby on the first floor, the reception room was converted into a temporary school hospital. Most of the doctors from Carmarthen Public Hospital came today.

Even the "doctor" who was far away in Gambia came back.

Alan, wearing a thick bathrobe, walked into the reception room accompanied by Hut.

This is an annual physical examination. The physical examination for nobility is completely different from that for ordinary people!

Although the items and purposes of physical examinations are similar, the processes vary greatly.

The social resources consumed by a noble are unimaginable to ordinary people!

…

The young man nicknamed "Doctor" was Allen's comrade-in-arms when he was in the service. Later, he was recruited by Allen to be his personal doctor. He also rushed back from Gambia this time.

Every noble has a private doctor!

Even those with poor family conditions have it.

These private doctors do not need to have high medical skills. Their job is to help their employers find out whether they have been deceived or misdiagnosed.

It plays a role of strict control and coordination.

The old Western doctors in Europe are notorious, they know all kinds of crooked ways!

The most famous case, I won’t mention the ones that happened far away, was that the man with a mustache was badly cheated by his private doctor and became a sickly person in his fifties.

…

Several doctors in white coats personally drew Alan's blood under the scrutiny of a crowd of people.

All the medical equipment they used was provided by the manor, not brought by themselves.

Watching three tubes of blood being drawn, the "doctor" first took the blood collection tubes, put away even the used needles, and then measured the weight on the small scale.

After measuring the weight, since the blood testing equipment was difficult to move, he had to carry the blood collection tube himself and be accompanied by several people to Carmarthen Public Hospital for testing. After getting the results, he would bring the remaining blood back, and the hospital's equipment had to be checked and clean to ensure that there was nothing left.

There are some historical reasons why such a fuss is happening.

Many people only learned about the existence of the word "clone" in the world after the 1990s.

But in fact, cloning has been around since the 1950s, and the legal system at the time was not strict, so experiments had been conducted on humans, not to mention animals.

Ordinary people may not care, but nobles are afraid of this. At that time, the rumor was extremely mysterious, something like creating another self. If this thing was taken away by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't a person exactly like himself pop up to snatch the title?

and……

There have always been legends about witches and curses in Britain. Regardless of whether they are true or not, since ancient times, nobles have paid great attention to keeping their information confidential, especially personal belongings and blood.

Even decades later, with the development of the Internet, has anyone ever noticed that they could search for information such as a nobleman's height and weight on the Internet to see if they could find the information?

Can't find it at all!

Allen didn't care about this, but Hut paid more attention to it, so he followed suit.

…

After drawing blood and taking a break, several old doctors took turns to help Allen listen to his heart with a stethoscope. Allen refused to do some tests such as taking pictures with machines. Hut had more old-fashioned ideas and said that those things were bad for the body. Even though it was only a small amount, it was not acceptable.

The rest, apart from blood tests, the most important thing is auscultation.

"Your Excellency is in good health! Very strong, but a little bit..."

The doctor in a white coat and with white hair put down his stethoscope, smiled and praised Alan's physical fitness, and then prepared to keep it a secret.

Hu Te narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Now was not the time to joke. He hated it when someone kept him in suspense at this time, especially about the young master's health condition.

The doctor looked at Hut's expression and smiled awkwardly, "You are in good health, Sir, don't worry. It's just that you have been lacking a channel to vent recently, and you feel a little..."

He didn't know how to say this kind of thing, so he gestured a few times with his hands.

Alan raised his eyebrows, as if he understood what he meant. He was just angry, and he could hold it in!

He has been recuperating for more than a month. He is still a young and strong man. How can he not get irritated if he eats and drinks well every day?

"I understand, no other questions are needed!"

After saying this, Alan closed his eyes and waited for the next doctor to continue auscultating his heart.

…

After all the examinations were completed, Huth clapped his hands, directed the servants to line up to continue the physical examination, and then rewarded the doctors who had worked hard.

After completing these procedures, Alan had already returned to his room to finish breakfast and clean up.

…

Old man Patrice finally came back from America. As soon as he got home, he caught up with the lively scene of the annual physical examination. He glanced at Hut, and Hut pointed upstairs and motioned him to go upstairs.

"Okay, butler, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to look for the young master!"

…

"Master, I'm back!"

"Heh! Karl has already gone to look for me and left. Why are you coming back just now?"

Alan looked at Patrice with a smile. The old guy didn't look too well, but he seemed very excited. Could it be that he met an old woman in America and got squeezed dry?

"Master...I...I'm busy looking for a director."
