Chapter 243: The Frightened Masagaki Masataka



Looking at the disheveled programmers, Allen waved his hand to interrupt Cameron's explanation and forced them to take a break.

In such an environment, what happened to these people after they finished working on the special effects for this movie?

Capitalists cannot exploit to this extent.

I forced the bodyguards to load them into the car and take them back to the hotel to rest for a few days. From now on, they have to work on time every day and don't have to rush.

Li Zairong carried Alan's shoulder backpack in his hand and followed Alan obediently on the campus of Cardiff University.

When Allen asked him to carry his bag, he really meant it. Whenever Allen came to school, Li Zairong would follow him like a servant and be responsible for carrying his bag.

After more than half a year of strict "management", although Li Zailong still looks a little thin due to long-term malnutrition some time ago, but apart from his figure, there has been great improvement in other aspects. At least his personality has improved a lot now.

He would never shout or scream, and would always speak in a soft voice, especially in front of Alan. He would almost want his voice to become as small as a mosquito's hum, as small as possible. As long as Alan didn't ask any questions, Li Zairong would never say a single letter more!

The main character is honest, obedient, quiet, elegant and introverted.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Li Zairong took a quick look and saw that the little bootlicker named George had already taken his seat.

Li Zairong trotted two steps and arrived at the location before Alan. He first took out wet wipes from his bag and wiped the table and chairs carefully. Then he took out a professional book from Alan's bag and placed it on the table. He then stretched out his hand to block George's hand that was stretched out to help, and placed a series of items in the bag, including the water cup, on the table.

When all this was done, Alan just walked to his seat. Li Zairong nodded and bowed to make room for Alan, then he walked to the other side of the aisle and sat down, staring at the blackboard in front of him without looking away.

"Boss! You're so handsome!"

George was still young after all, and after two intermittent semesters of getting to know each other, he thought he had become familiar with this gentleman. In order to keep a low profile at school, it was not appropriate to call him "Your Excellency" or something like that, so he simply changed his address and called him "Boss".

Alan took the newspaper George handed to him and looked at the newspaper, which was published a few days ago. There was a cartoon on the front page headline.

This was reported as the exit incident at the closing of the House of Lords at the end of last year.

Because the media was not allowed to enter the House of Lords for photographing or observing unless it was a special situation, there were no photos of Allen confronting Thatcher at the time. The only thing they could do was to use the descriptions of several insiders and the painters' imagination to reproduce cartoon images that matched the situation at the time as schematic diagrams.

The image of Allen in the painting is very positive, while Thatcher, who was standing on the stage giving a speech, was portrayed as an old beggar, with a distorted face full of fear, looking at Allen in the audience like a villain.

The whole painting depicts the scene at that time very well.

The most heartbreaking thing is the caption below.

《Not gentlemanly enough? No! This is what a gentleman is.》

It is well known that British men care most about descriptions such as gentleman and cultivation.

Generally speaking, men should behave like gentlemen when interacting with the opposite sex.

What is gentlemanly behavior?

I won't go into the general details, but at the very least, being courteous to ladies, respecting ladies, helping the weak, not laughing at the weak, and being polite are the most basic gentlemanly behaviors.

At that time, Allen, a well-known aristocrat who was well-known to everyone, reprimanded Thatcher in the House of Lords for her lack of etiquette and manners, and even openly left the house early. According to gentlemanly behavior, it was extremely ungentlemanly.

But this report specifically listed Thatcher's many faults and her impoliteness. Even at the end of the report, it specifically pointed out that because she was too old and her looks were not good, even her appearance was considered impolite. Sir Allen's behavior was not only not ungentlemanly, but should be encouraged. He bravely pointed out the mistakes of uneducated people.

It was Thatcher who did not deserve to be treated as a gentleman, not Sir Allen who was ungentlemanly.

Anyway, it sounds difficult to understand. To put it bluntly, it means a secret mockery of Thatcher.

It happened to be Christmas time, and many people were on holiday, so one can imagine how widely this kind of news would be spread and how widely it would be accepted.

One is Earl Allen, who is well-known and has always presented a gentle image to the public; the other is Thatcher, who is also well-known but has many notorious reputations.

Is it even necessary to say who the people should trust and support?

"Boss, I saw on the TV news that many radical people called the TV station to complain and demanded that Thatcher publicly apologize to you for her disrespectful behavior. Some even suggested that she resign early and go home to wait for death."

George took the initiative to approach Allen and inquired about the first-hand information about the person involved with a gossipy look on his face.

"Haha!" This was the funniest news Alan had heard since Christmas. It was really interesting.

These silly foreigners are sometimes very straightforward. They are only willing to believe what they see and what they think is right in their own cognition.

They just hated Thatcher and felt that even if Allen scolded her in person, Thatcher deserved it. They even thought that she should take the initiative to apologize to Allen.

But Allen hasn't responded to this matter since that day. There's no need.

He wanted to maintain his image as a "generous and magnanimous" person. Apart from reprimanding her in person, there was no need for him to engage in private quarrels in the newspapers. This would make him appear petty. Unless Thatcher was so blind as to provoke him again, otherwise... Alan was going to leave her alone.

I took a look at the classroom. The teacher had not arrived yet. However, the classmate from the island country, Masagaki Changlong, was sitting obediently in the front row, looking like he was ready to listen to the lecture attentively.

Sometimes Alan really thinks that these Japanese devils are really ruthless people.

Their ability to endure and their seriousness for the sake of knowledge or to achieve a certain goal are truly beyond imagination.

He took out a report on Saizeriya from his bag, put it on the table, turned to Li Zairong and said, "Go, call the Japanese in front over to me."

"yes!"

Li Zairong was still staring at the blackboard in a daze. When he heard Alan's voice, he subconsciously stood up and lowered his head to answer.

Masataka Masataka walked hesitantly to Alan's side, looking like he didn't know how to greet him.

Not everyone likes dealing with nobles.

These people sometimes look beautiful, but beautiful things are often accompanied by danger.

As a person living in a country with aristocrats, Masayoshi Masayuki feels that all aristocrats are dangerous and that these people can even take his life at any time!

He didn't feel that he had changed after Allen invited him to dinner. On the contrary, after last year's invitation, Zheng Yuan Changlong became more low-key, and sometimes he even took the initiative to avoid Allen.

Now, being called over by this Excellency, to be honest, Zhengyuan Changlong felt very nervous.

"Sir...you are looking for me?"

"sit!"

Alan pointed to the seat next to him, and casually pointed at the survey materials on the table, indicating that Masagaki Changlong should take a look at it himself.

Confused, Zhengyuan Changlong carefully sat down halfway and opened the thick document. On the first page, he saw the name printed with very familiar words.

Revised Report on the Investigation of Saizeriya Restaurant Chain in the Island Country

Turning to the first page, there is a personal introduction about his father, followed by his mother, sister, grandfather, uncle, and in short, the information of three generations of his ancestors is all displayed.

and……

Not only is there an English introduction, there are also original Japanese information photos!

Looking at this extremely detailed information, Zhengyuan Changlong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back and his hair stood up all over his body.

No one would remain calm and not afraid if someone threw their home documents at them in public.

This is an investigation conducted across such a long distance, in different countries!

What kind of manpower and connections are needed for this?

After that, Zhengyuan Changlong continued to flip through the pages with stiff fingers. The following part was about when Saizeriya was founded and where the first store was located.

Moreover, the photos of each store’s doorhead are taken on site.

There are nearly a hundred stores, and every one of them is included!

Zhengyuan Changlong looked at one of the pages of information, which recorded everything from the store's location, storefront photos, hourly customer flow in the store, total customer flow every day during opening hours, table turnover rate, stocking time, serving time, number of waiters, and so on.

At the end, there are also data such as the total sales estimate, profit estimate, etc. for each store on that day.

It was this extremely detailed information that was finally summarized into the total estimated value of their Saria.

Looking at the numbers on the information, Zhengyuan Changlong was dumbfounded. The difference between this number and the number his father told him was very small!

How long has it been since I was "forced" by this gentleman to have dinner at his manor?

My home and the information I introduced were all placed in front of me intact.

Zhengyuan Changlong is really scared now. This piece of information may not look big, but it is a symbol of strength!

They were able to investigate all the information in the house without anyone noticing and without their family feeling anything at all.

If he has bad intentions...

Before Masataka Masataka could think further, Alan's voice rang out.

That iconic cold and slightly hoarse voice.

"Your business is pretty good, I'm interested!"

Alan's voice almost broke Masanori Masataka's defense!

What does it mean to fancy something?

If this were said to their family by a noble in an island country, it would be equivalent to asking them to kneel down and hand over the share certificate immediately. If they are slow to do so, the whole family will be in danger.

Although the nobles of the island country are also low-key, they treat their own people, especially civilians, much more cruelly than the nobles of Britain.

Having grown up in such an environment with class distinctions, Zhengyuan Changlong understands too well the horror of the nobles!

Why will there be so many second-year nicknames for craftsmen in various industries in the island country in the future?

There are such things as the fried rice immortal, the barbecue immortal, and so on.

Is this an honor?

Ordinary people may think this is an honor, but what is the core of this thing?

The class system is rigid and young people have no room for advancement even if they study. Apart from following in their father's footsteps, the only option left is to start from the bottom of society.

In an island country, if your family has no money, you can’t afford to go to a good university.

Even if one's family is rich and spends all their money to go to a good university, do you think such a person can change his or her life after graduation?

No no no…

The most they can do is go abroad or work in factories or large companies controlled by major chaebols, and their starting point is only slightly higher than those at the bottom.

Many of the remaining people can only follow in their father's footsteps. The son of a cook is still a cook. What else can he do if he doesn't brag about his family's profession?

Isn't this why there are all kinds of immortals everywhere later...

The only industries with some variables are the entertainment industry and the Internet industry, that's all.

There are very few opportunities left for ordinary people to change their lives.

Now that Alan said this directly to him, it was like a bolt from the blue for Masataka Masataka.

Their family is finished!

Although Sir Allen is a British nobleman, if he wants, if he goes to the island country, he will enjoy even more privileges there than in Wales!

There is no way around it. They are all the ruling class, and the aristocratic group of the island country is naturally close to the aristocratic group of Britain because the systems of the two sides are so similar. They learned a lot from Britain a long time ago and have a deep friendship.

Looking at Masataka Masanori's pale face, Alan was a little puzzled.

How could this little Japanese get so scared just by saying a few words? Is it really that serious?

"Hey? Wake up!"

Patting Masayuki Masataka's shoulder, Allen raised his lips slightly, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry... I just want to invest and cooperate with you. As for the management, your family will be responsible for it. I will only send financial and supervisory personnel."

“Ah…ah?”

Masagaki Changtaka stared at Alan blankly, and was a little speechless.

In these few short minutes, he went through all the experiences from the human world to hell, and from hell to heaven.

Not directly?

This gentleman just wants to invest in cooperation?

this……

Doesn't this mean that they can transform themselves directly from a Western restaurant opened by ordinary civilians into a noble joint venture of British aristocrats?

At this moment, Zhengyuan Changlong fell into deep thought again.

There are this and that kind of bad and dangerous things about the nobility.

But if you can be appreciated by a noble lord and board his ship, the nature of the situation will be completely different!

Not only will various policies improve immediately, but in the future, when doing business in the island country, whether applying for a loan or handling various matters, it will be a green light all the way!

Don’t think that you will be inferior to others or suffer great losses just by giving up your shares.

For example, their current chain store is worth one hundred pounds. If Mr. Alan injects capital, even if his shares are reduced to only 40%, with his capital injection, their chain stores will expand in the future, and the value of this 40% of shares will be several times the current one hundred pounds.

"Sir, are you serious? Thank you very much for your appreciation of our Masagaki family. I... I..."

Seeing Masanori Masataka trembling, Allen curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, you can go back and call your father first. When he has a holiday next month or when he has time, ask him to come see me and we can discuss the details of the cooperation."
