This is an Asian man with a very haggard face. He looks very young, but his haggard look is mainly due to his eyes, which stare at people straightly. There seems to be a green light in his eyes, like a hungry wolf. Combined with his thin body, he looks like a starving ghost.

Arnold felt uneasy when he looked at him like that, and he couldn't understand why he was staring at him.

Weiwei glanced at both sides and saw several servants eating with their heads down, and a few more servants behind them were talking in low voices, as if they were discussing something about a football game.

Arnold moved slightly and looked at the person diagonally opposite him without moving his eyes.

It didn't seem like he was staring at me. After staring for a long time, the man suddenly took a deep breath and shook his head with a satisfied look on his face, like a drug addict.

His action frightened Arnold so much that his face trembled.

Cameron happened to see what he was doing. Following Arnold's gaze, he turned his head and saw that it was the Earl's classmate.

Looks like he's Korean?

"Don't look at him. I heard he made some mistake and was punished by His Excellency. He is not allowed to eat anything else. He can only eat pickles and rice every day. He is quite pitiful."

"ah?"

When Arnold heard what Cameron said, he felt a chill in his heart. This was a bit scary.

What did I do wrong to be punished like this?

As for having to eat only pickles every day?

Look how hungry they are!

Arnold picked up the chicken leg from the plate. It was a New York-style roasted chicken leg. The root of the chicken leg was wrapped in tin foil, making it very convenient to eat with your hands.

As Arnold moved, the punished Asian man opposite him looked at the way Arnold ate, and the expression on his face began to twist with jealousy.

…

Li Zairong looked at the big guy opposite him eating a chicken leg. He glanced at himself and then continued eating. His heart was almost broken with envy!

He has been eating kimchi for more than two months, and it's the same with every meal!

He couldn't get anything left except kimchi and rice. There was someone watching him not far away, so he couldn't eat anything even if he was so anxious that he wanted to eat something from the trash can!

You can only eat the few kinds of kimchi that Alan specified.

Think about who he is?

The eldest son of the Third Family, he has been eating kimchi every day for more than two months. If Li Zairong's father stood in front of him now, he would hardly be able to recognize him because he is so hungry that he is unrecognizable.

As for how long he would finish eating, Allen had already forgotten about him.

Every day after eating in the restaurant, Li Zairong would stay in the corner for a while to smell the food. There would be no one sitting around him, and many people would try to avoid him when they saw him, mainly because his eyes would affect their appetite.

…

"Director, when will this movie be finished?"

Arnold put down his fork, having almost finished the food on his plate, and picked up the wet wipes on the table, unwrapped them and wiped his mouth.

"Well... it won't work this year. The filming will be done in about a month. The main problem is that the special effects in post-production are more troublesome."

Cameron whispered to Arnold that compared to the previous film, the post-production of "Terminator 2" has more funds, so it must be produced in the best direction.

During this time, Cameron looked up at the restaurant. Some people in the crew had found their seats and were eating. They would go into the first floor of the castle for a tour later.

It was only because Allen was not at home and they were all family that Hutt let them in to open their eyes.

At other times, don't even think about it. This is not a tourist attraction, but a private estate. No one can enter unless the owner lets you in.

…

"Hold on tight! Hold on tight!"

"Hey! Pull back, pull back, I can't hold on any longer."

Several shirtless bodyguards were holding a huge special steel wire net and catching a crocodile nearly four meters long from the river.

When this thing is in the water, it is very powerful, rolling, flapping, and struggling violently.

Their task today is to control the crocodile as much as possible, and then let Alan fight it, so that he can experience the thrill of hunting crocodiles himself.

…

Allen held the shortbow and waited for several bodyguards to get the crocodile out of the water as best they could, then he took aim and let go.

The specially made arrowhead was deeply embedded in the crocodile's back, but its lethality was very limited. The crocodile was hit by the arrow and twisted even more.

"Bring me my shotgun!"

Alan could see that this thing had thick skin and tough flesh. If he wanted to shoot it to death with an arrow, he could forget about anything else except aiming at its eyes.

But in motion, if you want to aim an arrow at a crocodile's eyes...

Even an Olympic champion would be scratching his head.

What's more, Alan is just an ordinary archery enthusiast.

At the end of the hunt, the pleasure comes from the gun.

As several bodyguards tried again to lift the crocodile out of the water, a gunshot was heard and the crocodile in the water twitched twice, this time it was completely motionless.

…

"Master, you have great marksmanship!"

Old Carl grinned and boasted that the bullet went into the crocodile from under the neck and killed it with one shot.

"Hahaha."

Allen smiled and handed the gun to the servant next to him, saying, "I'll have a roasted crocodile in a minute. Skin the crocodile for me as a souvenir."

After all, it was the first crocodile I hunted, so it was quite memorable.

Leaving a few bodyguards to deal with the crocodile, Allen took Old Carl along the river towards the villa.

…

"How are the preparations going in Sydney?"

After staying here for a few days, Alan was already a little annoyed. The conditions here were really too bad.

Every place is bad, even the environment is bad.

There is nothing good to see in the factories, they are all newly built factories. Just check the account books to understand the structure of each factory and whether the equipment meets the requirements.

I spend the rest of the time hiding in the air-conditioned room, and can only come out to play for a while in the morning and evening.

To be honest, if Alan hadn't tried his best to hold back, he would have gone to the nearby national park to hang out. There were two national parks not far away on the left and right sides of where he was now. There were many animals there, and hunting there was interesting.

"Well... the people I left there aren't ready to report the situation two days ago. How about we go there ahead of time?"

There were still a few days left before the reception, and Allen was already getting tired of waiting, which gave old Carl a headache.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old man Patrice showed up!

Patrice, who was exhausted from the journey, returned from Hong Kong so quickly.

Looking at Patrice who was coming this way, Old Carl pointed and said, "Master, Patrice is back."

"Um?"

Alan turned his head and saw Patrice waving at him.

Eh...is this old guy so fast?

It's only been a week, right?

…

"Why are you back so soon?"

It is good to go and come back quickly, but Alan thought Patrice would stay there for at least half a month to understand the situation. Who knew he would come back so soon? Could something have happened?

"Master! I'm back."

In just one sentence, although Patrice's face was a little haggard, he looked quite happy, and it didn't seem like anything bad had happened.

"Come on, let's go back and talk."

Alan glanced at Patrice and saw a large briefcase bulging in his hand. He must have brought back a lot of things.

…

On the terrace inside the villa, a small fan was placed in the distance, blowing cool air from the indoor air conditioner towards this side. Alan changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, sat next to the coffee table, and waited for Nicole to bring tea before looking at Patrice.

Patrice watched Nicole serve the tea and leave consciously before he started taking things out of his bag.

A small box like a gift box was wrapped in newspaper.

What was left were some materials rolled up in newspapers, which looked quite a mess.

After they finished taking out the things, Allen looked at Patrice. The two of them stared at each other. After waiting for a long time, Allen raised his eyebrows and said, "Where's the reply? The letter from Wei Dewei."

"Ah? He didn't reply, Master...time was limited and I was in a hurry to come back, so we had a direct interview."

This was not the first time Patrice met Wei Dewei. They were old acquaintances. This time he went to Hong Kong to meet Wei Dewei with Allen's letter, and he even scared Wei Dewei.

Allen is Boss Cha's personal assistant, and since Boss Cha is about to come to Hong Kong, Wei Dewei thought something had happened there.

Everyone was shocked, and after Patrice's explanation, Wei Dewei finally understood Alan's purpose.

…

After taking a sip of tea, Alan frowned as he listened to Patrice's retelling.

It turns out that the reason why the boss went to Hong Kong this time was, firstly, to maintain stability, and secondly, to create deterrence.

In addition to what happened a while ago, many big dog owners there are preparing to run away.

If they run away, what will they do first?

Funds!

Not only their own funds, these bastards are also planning to make more money.

If we let them do whatever they want, wouldn't it be chaos?

Wei Dewei can still control a single person or company, but he can't control them at all now when they are all gangs or families.

That’s why this visit by Boss Cha took place.

But what specific activities do we have to attend? Most of them are charity activities, such as meeting with the public, visiting military camps, attending university groundbreaking ceremonies, etc.

The itinerary was very tight in just a few days.

and……

There was something very interesting. Allen interrupted Patrice's retelling and said, "Stop... You said that the princess's activities were separate from His Royal Highness's? Didn't they attend together?"

"Yes, Wei Dewei told me so."

"Well... I understand. Please continue."

Alan's frown deepened, and this time he understood.

This also...

Has it come to this?

Up to now, he has no way to deal with this matter, but looking at this arrangement, it is really painful.

No wonder Boss Cha didn’t invite him to go with him this time. If he had gone with them, who would he be following?

Not only Alan feels bad, but everyone feels bad too, so why not just invite him to join in!

…

Alan picked up the box subconsciously. Due to the limited space in Patrice's bag, the box was wrapped with a layer of anti-collision newspaper. Alan tore open the newspaper and threw it on the coffee table.

He had someone deliver this box to Hong Kong as a gift, and then asked Patrice to pick it up along the way.

It's a little gift for women.

I have known Nicole Kidman for a long time, but I haven't given her any small gifts, such as expensive jewelry, and she wouldn't accept them.

People who play the role of feminist are still very tough. Sometimes Nicole acts submissive in front of Allen, but sometimes she acts very tough. The only thing she doesn't want to appear materialistic is in front of Allen.

But this behavior is a little difficult to understand for Allen.

…

In the past, women would expect men without money to be rich and have careers.

If you don't do well, you will be despised.

But the richer and more prestigious a man is, the more a woman will show that she only cares about true feelings in front of him and is less interested in material things.

What's the purpose of this?

Alan knew very well what they wanted, but he couldn't give it to them, nor did he want to.

Short-term relationships are okay, and slightly longer-term relationships are also okay, but relationships with a formality are not okay!

…

So, the more Nicole acted like she didn't care about material things, the more Alan wanted to give her something.

This bottle of perfume is the private perfume of the royal brand that he customized in bulk, and the scent is called Carmarthen's Tranquility.

No matter whether the name is vulgar or not, it is said that the fragrance represents the unique forest scent of Carmarthen and symbolizes some emotion.

Anyway, Alan couldn't remember all the nonsense the perfumer said at the time.

The price of a bottle was 7,000 pounds, which was not very expensive. He ordered a dozen bottles in bulk and planned to give them as small gifts to people he knew when he had time.

…

Without opening the gift box, Alan took a look at the Queen's certification mark on it, put the box down, and suddenly saw some familiar words on the torn newspaper out of the corner of his eye.

《Looking forward to the visit of the Crown Prince and his wife》

This is the biggest news headline on the front, but there is a small square next to it with a less noticeable piece of news.

"British designer's proposal lost in Shanghai Pudong development"

…

Picking up the newspaper, Alan carefully put the torn pieces together and read the news carefully.

It turned out that China was preparing to develop Pudong, Shanghai. A few years ago, it held an international seminar and invited many designers to present their plans.

A British designer submitted a proposal but was ultimately not selected.

Looking at this news, Alan curled his lips subconsciously. They only said to discuss it, not that every plan designed by anyone would be adopted.

It’s just that the plan was not selected, what’s the big deal.

…

But other things in this news are worth Allen's consideration.

Although there is a blockade, it does not prevent people from developing investment independently.

Looking at the above introduction, there are people like Allen who are stubborn and don’t want to leave, and there are even investors who want to take advantage of the gap to enter.

It seems...

There are smart people everywhere. If a place is going to develop in the future, everyone is smart and can see it.

…

Allen had thought about taking advantage of the development of Pudong to acquire a piece of land and build a headquarters building or something.

But now he has given up this idea long ago.

Didn’t you see that he didn’t even change the brands of the factories in his own family?

For a long time, for example, in some novels, after the protagonist becomes big and powerful, he likes to set up a group company and then bring all the various subsidiaries under it.

There are certainly advantages to doing this, but there are also obvious disadvantages.

In the past two years, especially after going to school this year, Allen has given in-depth consideration to his future business plans.

He doesn't want to engage in a group company model like this.

…
