When asked by Alan, several members of the small crew looked at each other.

One of the smaller guys replied, "Uh... Boss, if you're an ordinary office worker and want to save some money, maybe two slices of bread with some butter and some vegetables, and a cup of tea?"

"???"

Is this food for human beings?

Before Alan could continue asking, another photographer nearby said, "He's talking about the kind where you bring your own ingredients and make them yourself. If you buy them at the supermarket, um... one or two sandwiches? And spread some sauce on them. If there's mashed potatoes or French fries, you can have that as well. It would be best if you also have a cup of yogurt or something."

…

Alan nodded and walked around the fresh food section, taking a quick look at the current prices.

What can I say about the purchasing power of the pound now?

Alan usually never cared about these things. He seldom spent his own money. The ingredients and other things were purchased by the servants at home.

Nowadays, when you go to a small supermarket like this and look at the things on the shelves, they are still quite fresh.

For example, eggs.

Twenty pieces for 55p.

That means you can buy about 40 eggs for 1 pound.

This price is amazing.

The same is not true for the fresh meat placed next to it. For example, very ordinary beef costs a little more than one pound per kilogram, less than two pounds. If it is a good part for frying steak, the price will be even higher, about three or four pounds per kilogram!

And this is all local beef. If it is imported beef of better quality, the price will be a little more expensive.

When it comes to milk, it becomes very cheap, basically the same price as water.

Alan picked up two sandwiches that looked decent, a portion of mashed potatoes, and a bottle of yogurt.

Give it to the staff next to you and ask them to heat up the mashed potatoes for you.

…

By the time Ceylon had communicated with the boss, the crew had already set up the filming equipment, lighting boards, and radio microphones.

Alan sat in the small fast food chair and looked at the food on the tray.

The meal cost less than five pounds.

He no longer had any idea about the money, he just thought it was very cheap.

But consider the current per capita income in Britain.

I feel like the prices are just like that.

…

The average annual income per capita in the UK this year is around 13,000 pounds.

Of course, this number is before tax.

After deducting tax, the total amount is about 10,000 pounds.

This adds up to just over 800 pounds per month.

Today's meal seemed very simple, with not even much meat. Even if he ate this three times a day, his food alone would cost at least four hundred and fifty pounds a month.

But you have to eat some meat once in a while, right?

Let's say the monthly food expenses are 500 pounds. Add in other expenses such as rent, water, electricity, insurance, transportation, etc., and there won't be much left each month.

so……

Now most people are complaining about the economic downturn, but it is already very good to have a stable income every month, and what about those unemployed people!

Employees like these in the crew get more money than ordinary people.

The minimum monthly income is over 1,200 pounds after tax, plus there are year-end rewards. When you add it all up, their monthly income is at least 60% higher than the average wage!

And this monthly income of more than a thousand pounds is not enough for Alan to buy a piece of clothing.

…

I picked up the sandwich and sniffed it. There was no smell. It was just an ordinary product made on an assembly line.

A thin slice of bread with lettuce, tomato, fried egg and a small slice of luncheon meat.

I took a bite and it wasn't bad, but it was definitely not delicious.

Alan looked up at the camera and said truthfully: "Uh... This is my first time eating this kind of supermarket sandwich. To be honest, it's not bad, but it's not delicious either. I can only say that it can satisfy my hunger."

For a man of Allen's physique, he wouldn't be full even if he ate four of these small sandwiches.

But that was okay, he only took two, with a small bowl of mashed potatoes to balance it out.

This thing has no taste when eaten alone, it relies entirely on the sauce to be seasoned.

It is cheap and filling, the first choice for ordinary people.

Picking up the yogurt and taking a sip, Alan thought that if ordinary people usually ate these things, then his mother's sense of happiness would indeed not be very high. No wonder he would make a fuss every once in a while. If he was asked to eat this kind of thing every day, he would also make a fuss!

Noble gentlemen eat whatever they want at home, and bread is used to wipe knives. But here, even the bread in the sandwich is only two thin slices...

…

While Allen was eating, Ceylon, who had been standing outside the camera, watched him eat with a smile.

Although Alan is a noble, he actually eats these very common foods, which is good!

Nowadays, such behavior is no different from ordinary people in later generations seeing a top-tier celebrity eating snacks in a roadside restaurant. It is very down-to-earth!

Just as I was thinking about going to a better restaurant next time, a staff member next to me handed a small mobile phone to Ceylon with a serious face and said, "Team leader, urgent call!"

"Um?"

Ceylon took the phone. This phone was a bit like the size of a future cordless phone and was considered the second generation of mobile phones. It was not very popular at present and was very expensive.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

After responding a few times, Ceylon hung up the phone with a serious face. He happened to meet the eyes of Alan, who heard the noise and looked over here. Ceylon nodded and pointed at the phone.

…

Finally, he finished the last bite of mashed potatoes. This stuff was a bit dry after eating too much, and it felt like sand in his throat. After taking the last bite of yogurt to suppress it, Alan ended the food review with a smile in front of the camera.

The headquarters of the food delivery company is in Cardiff. When making a program, of course we have to start with the daily food that ordinary people eat. We should try both the good and the bad. Firstly, we can promote these ordinary dining places, and at the same time promote the Blue Knight food delivery company.

After the staff gestured to end the meeting, Ceylon walked to Allen's side, bent over and whispered in Allen's ear: "Sir, there was an accident. America... forced your movie to be taken off the screen."

"???"

Alan turned his head sharply and glanced at Ceylon.

Forced to be taken off the screen?

It's only been released for half a month and it's already been taken off the screen?

Are those damn Americans targeting me?

Alan stood up and walked out as if he had paranoia, saying as he walked, "Let's go pick up William, then call home and ask Huth to contact Karl to see what's going on."

…

As soon as he arrived in the hall, William threw his small schoolbag to the servant, cheered and ran upstairs. Harry followed behind him, also yelling foolishly.

Alan ignored the two naughty kids and watched Huth take the stack of faxed documents.

The information is still hot!

As he walked towards the study, Alan whispered, "What's going on?"

"I just talked to Karl on the phone. There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about on the phone. He said someone reported it!"

"Fuck! Is it the little black guy again?"

Hut looked at Allen's face and nodded: "According to the information on the fax, yes..."

“…”

Alan took a deep breath and tightly grasped the faxed documents in his hand.

How come you, this bitch's son of a bitch, only remembers to eat but not to be beaten?

Why do you have nothing to do every day and come to report me?

Didn’t I just make a modern, suspense, thriller, parent-child, and warning film?

…

Back in the study, Alan looked carefully at the information on the fax.

Due to the time difference, Allen's "The Bad Seed" was suddenly forced to be withdrawn from theaters on a large scale this morning, American time. This was an announcement issued by the Film Association of America.

However, due to different views on this matter in different states of the United States, not all states have taken the film off the screen. Several states are still showing it, and it has received quite good reviews.

However, for Allen, this is no different from taking all the movies off the screen.

Allen, who has always been very concerned about his reputation, was suddenly tricked by the Americans, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

It's like going to a banquet and being kicked out by the organizer.

It was released on Christmas Day and was only on for half a month!

Let’s not talk about how much box office losses there were, and let’s just talk about the subsequent public opinion.

Alan looked at the fax and saw someone criticizing the plot of the movie, which had a bad influence.

Isn't this fucking true?

…

After reading a few pages of critical reports in American newspapers this morning, Alan felt a little irritated and suddenly felt something pulling at his trouser legs.

He lowered his head and saw Xiao Huang rubbing his head against Alan's trouser leg. He picked it up and put it on the desk. Alan crossed his hands, turned his index fingers towards each other, looked at Hut, and then looked at Ceylon.

"Let's deal with it according to the plan. Let Patrice come forward. Also..."

Allen looked at Huth and said, "Tell Old Carl to quickly find out who reported me and who was involved!"

…

Before Hut could say anything, Ceylon stood up first. She knew there were some words she couldn't listen to, so she found an excuse and left the study first.

After Ceylon left, Huth said softly, "Master, last time you asked me to deal with those black men, His Highness had already asked Capel to warn you, and it hasn't been long since then..."

The implication is that this time it will be difficult. It's not that it can't be done, but some things should be done in moderation and the right scale should be struck.

…

Allen sighed, patted the table and said, "What should I do? It's only been on the screen for half a month! Including the channel fees, not only did I not make any money this time, I will lose at least millions of dollars! Did I get my money from the wind?"

"Damn it, don't the Americans like to stir up trouble everywhere and talk about freedom of speech? Can't I have freedom of speech in my movie? At least they gave me a notice in advance? Why are they suddenly pulling the film from the screen? What's the point? Are they trying to please me? Do I need to please them?"

"Master, calm down. Impulsiveness won't solve the problem."

Hut watched Alan getting angrier and angrier as he spoke. He knew that he was just getting angry, but he had no choice but to try to persuade him. If the young master got impulsive and sent bodyguards to America like he did last time and acted ruthlessly on someone else's territory, the other party would probably take advantage of them.

They didn't dare to attack Allen, but Allen's bodyguards...

What if I get hurt?

What if one is missing...

Once those people get hold of us, we will be in a passive position.

…

Alan took another deep breath, looked at the little yellow dog next to him who was staring at him curiously, and reached out his hand to stroke its big head twice.

"Give me Papa and call me!"

Alan said something and closed his eyes slightly.

This Papa was the leader of the small team that went to America to work last time. He is also one of Alan's bodyguards. He has very skilled business skills and is very perceptive.

…

Now Huth is afraid that if he acts impulsively and sends people over rashly, he might be caught, which would be bad for both parties.

But Alan couldn't bear it!

If he can't let his bodyguard personally beat to death the scoundrel who reported his movie, then Allen is prepared to settle for the next best thing.

If my bodyguard doesn't take action, can't I hire someone to do it?

Anyway, I just want to kill them. These useless little black guys won't be happy if they live one more day!

He is not discriminating against all the haters. He is simply discriminating against those individual American haters who have nothing to do and always like to make a big deal out of him.

Alan just hates them, a bunch of self-righteous giant babies who think that they can just report it quietly, cause themselves some financial losses, and then hide away, and everything will be fine?

snort……

…

"Boss? You're looking for me?"

Papa crossed his hands in front of him, bowed slightly to Allen, then stood up straight in the space in front of his desk. Hut stood beside him and silently looked at the old soldier named Papa.

"I have a task for you. I will write a letter later. You go to America and find old Carl to get the money from him!"

"Take the money?"

Alan took out a piece of letter paper and without blinking, he wrote a line on the manuscript paper while giving instructions to Papa.

Black Labrador Rescue Society

…

"The Foundation knows about this, right? I remember you studied finance, right?"

"Yes...I learned it before I joined the army."

Papa responded honestly.

"Very good! We are going to set up a pet dog protection association to rescue black Labradors. The main purpose is to provide help to those stray black Labradors."

Alan looked at the name on the manuscript and sneered. Labradors are short-haired dogs that tend to get fat easily, especially black Labradors. If their body shape is not controlled, they will become greasy, fat and fat.

This is the black dog that best fits the image of a dog in Allen's mind.

Doesn't this fat and strong black Labrador who eats like this look like some groups of Americans who are lazy and gluttonous, have no cultural knowledge, are lazy and gluttonous, and like to buy things for free?

Are black Labradors common in America?

Quite a lot!

But there are not many wanderers.

Since we are under the banner of rescuing animals, we have to conduct large-scale investigations. By contacting common pet shops and pet beauty salons in America, we can get a lot of information.

In addition, a lot of troubles can be avoided in the name of rescuing animals.

By rescuing animals, we find some extreme Americans who want to make money and assign them some tasks.

for example……

…

As Allen talked about the plan, he wrote down the organizational structure of the foundation on a piece of manuscript paper.

Such foundations are very popular nowadays. They often raise funds in the name of the foundation and then invest the raised money. The returns depend entirely on the operation.

But not all foundations are for-profit.

Allen was not allowed to make a profit.

He was prepared to rescue the black dog and beat it at the same time!
