I finally made up for some of the regrets I had the last time I led the team to the Olympics.

This work report will be sent to Boss Cha first, so that he can see his magnanimity. Bobby Robson has achieved the best results in recent decades, and Allen has also applied for a medal for him. If Boss Cha sees this work report, he will definitely apply for a medal for himself, right?

Alan now has medal quotas every year, but his are low-end and he cannot apply for himself. These are rewards for his servants and cannot be given to outsiders, as that is against the rules.

Moreover, nowadays, this kind of things have to be kept low-key and cannot be awarded too frequently.

If we do it openly, what will those who have fought for this honor all their lives think?

Although it is said that there is no distinction between high and low jobs.

But some scientists have been researching for half their lives and have achieved certain scientific results. In order to commend them, the Queen awarded them a medal, which is also a title.

But when it comes to Alan, the servants serve him well, he is happy and can still reward.

If the scientists knew this, would they feel unbalanced?

Even if they don't say it, most ordinary people would feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Allen's medals and other gilded honors depended on Boss Cha to help him apply for them.

As long as he completes the assigned task perfectly, he deserves the reward.

Not to mention that he didn't make any contribution to the team during the World Cup, Allen just did what ordinary people thought aristocrats should do.

He did his job well by not giving blind orders or holding back Bobby Robson.

Isn't this worthy of a medal award?

…

Putting down the work report, Alan pointed to his neck and signaled the maid to give him a massage.

He picked up another document.

Saria's final statistical survey results have been compiled into a written report.

An investigation team organized by Matthias finally gave the overall stock price divided into two parts.

First is the physical assets of the store.

There are less than a hundred chain stores in total, and most of these stores are rented. It can be said that even if we are a little harsh, it is understandable to estimate a very low price for them.

But business can't be done this way. Allen had made arrangements in advance and tried to keep the preferential treatment on the surface.

What best demonstrates preferential treatment?

Of course the valuation is high, so that Yasuhiko Masagaki, the boss of Saria, can fully feel the kindness of Master Allen. Only when people are happy can they work better for him.

Therefore, the final valuation of the nearly 100 Saizeriya chain stores ranged from 50,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds. Each store was given a slightly higher price accordingly, and the overall total price was finally estimated at 7.43 million pounds.

And this is just the industry valuation. The other part is the corporate brand valuation, which also includes their Saizeriya's business capabilities and potential.

After the final statistics, I rounded up the number to an even number: 20 million pounds!

…

This number may not seem large, and is even less than the cost of building a super yacht by Allen.

But it is not easy for an ordinary civilian from an island country to build such a huge foundation in just over ten years.

Saizeriya itself is already facing financial difficulties, and their current model is small profits but quick turnover.

However, this strategy of small profits but quick turnover can only be achieved when there are many stores and high sales, and the financial prospects will be considerable.

With less than a hundred stores at present, we can only maintain a small profit.

With the current valuation, as long as Allen invests, Salia can immediately use the money to continue expanding and take the scale of the company to a higher level.

Looking at the agreement in the documents, they would hold 55% of the shares of Saizeriya, but in order to favor the Masagaki family, Allen needed to invest 11 million pounds. In return, Masagaki Yasuhiko would continue to serve as the operating officer and manager of the Saizeriya brand, and Allen would send several financial and inspection personnel to do the rest of the work.

As long as we get the financial power, we can come slowly later. The rest is just to let the other party select people and send them to Great Britain, so that Alan can quickly organize new employee training or poach them.

…

Just sign your approval at the back of the document and then sign your name, and Alan doesn't have to worry about the rest.

After taking over Saria, the only company that is troubling Allen now is Bentley.

The temple is small and the evil spirits are strong. If we wait for a while, the personnel problem will not be solved...

Thinking of this, Alan squinted at the documents on the table. The Irish mob had not appeared for a while. It seemed that it was time for them to show their faces at Bentley and clean out those stubborn old employees.

Alan just doesn't want to use such tough measures, not that he can't use it!

…

"Okay, that's enough, go outside and rest."

Alan patted the little hands pressing on the back of his neck, signaling the maid not to press anymore.

Alan was still a little uncomfortable when he first got home. He didn't want to go to bed so early today, so he rang the bell to notify the servants outside and asked the kitchen to make him something to eat.

While waiting, Alan sighed. What he feared most was that every time he came back from playing, he would be faced with a table full of various documents. It would always give him a headache.

This feeling is like when you were a student and finally got a winter or summer vacation, then went out traveling happily. After traveling around and returning home with souvenirs from various places, you realized that you haven’t done your winter or summer vacation homework yet!

The key point is that now he needs to deal with these documents, but there is no one who can help him look at them.

Thinking that Xiao Shitou would graduate soon, Alan missed Xiao Shitou so much at this moment. This former servant of his was a good candidate for secretary. When Xiao Shitou came back, he would let him form an assistant team to go through some documents that needed to be processed by him first, classify them, or make a concise summary, so that it would be much more convenient for him to read them.

It's not like it is now, it's obviously a very simple matter, all I have to do is agree or not, but many things take a long time or I don't understand, so Alan has to read all the information from beginning to end every time, and every day is boring and tedious.

…

Pick up the family financial report for the first half of this year and start from the beginning.

The wool textile mill's performance has tripled, and that's not counting last month's World Cup sponsorship.

We have been sponsoring Manchester United's team jerseys, and also some other products such as blankets and wool socks. As long as the quality is reliable, our reputation will gradually grow. In addition, with the crown prince certification from Boss Cha this year, product sales have been completely opened up.

Looking at the records on the document, Alan wrote a small suggestion at the back.

"Don't continue to expand the scale. Find professional experts to help us optimize the industry and products, and develop product quality instead of quantity."

This was a strategy Allen had decided long ago, to go with quality over quantity.

As long as we take advantage of the residual heat of this World Cup to thoroughly promote our reputation, we can slowly optimize our products and increase the profit of each product. After a few years of stability, we can ask Boss Cha to help us get the Queen certification, and then the factory will be completely established.

…

"Boom boom boom."

There were several knocks on the door, and Hut came in himself pushing the dining cart. Seeing Alan still looking at the documents, Hut's face showed relief, but also a little worry.

The young master's temper has gradually softened in the past two years and he is not as extreme as before.

The focus of work has gradually shifted, and the desire to play...

It’s not particularly big.

Just like now, at this time in the past, if there was no woman at home, the young master would usually go to bed, so why would he continue working and reading documents?

"Master, you should rest."

…

Hearing Hut's voice, Alan looked up at Hut, then glanced at the dining car, nodded, and asked Hut to sit down first while he finished watching.

As for the other factories, I won’t talk about the one in Australia, which has just gotten back on track.

Back in Britain, the food factory is still in the same state, half-dead. Ever since the canning production line was moved to Australia, the food factory has had a lot of free space and its product line has become increasingly single, only producing some candies, which can be considered barely self-sufficient.

As for the remaining pharmaceutical factory, Allen had inspected it some time ago and there were no problems. They could be sold once the drugs were thoroughly tested.

China's radio and instant noodle factories have astonishing profits.

These things are in rigid demand in China, especially radios. Since wages and labor costs are low in China, even if some materials for producing radios need to be imported, the cost of producing radios is much lower than that of most radios abroad.

This thing is a veritable demographic dividend. It can not only help people create jobs and support workers, but Alan can also make money.

Not to mention the instant noodle factories, this product is selling very well whether on trains, at major stations, or in office buildings.

Nowadays, people in many parts of China need to go out to work. The journey by train or bus takes a long time. As for buying food, let’s not talk about whether it is expensive or not, and it is hard to say whether it suits their taste or not.

Instant noodles can solve this problem very well. If you want to eat spicy food, buy spicy food. If you don’t want to eat spicy food, you can eat braised beef or beef in sour soup. Buy whatever you like.

I eat this just for the sake of convenience!

In office areas, workers with a little money can also follow the trend and have a deluxe version of instant noodles, the kind that comes with a meat packet.

Allen's delicious brand instant noodles, although an ordinary low-end product that can only compete with China's previous ordinary instant noodles, has the advantage of more exquisite packaging.

But high-end instant noodles are simply overwhelming in China.

This kind of what you see is what you get is very precious these days!

Who would have thought that the picture on the instant noodles package would turn out to be exactly the same as in the picture after opening the instant noodles. The key is that they really put meat in it!

In the 1990s in China, some places already had high-rise buildings, while in other places, people could not even get enough food to eat. This is not an exaggeration at all.

The channels for material circulation are very poor and the types of materials are very limited. It is not easy to have instant noodles with such real ingredients.

This deluxe version of instant noodles is even exported to Japan and South Korea.

Putting down several half-year financial reports of the industry, Alan pinched his brows and looked at the meals prepared by Hutt, which were mostly desserts.

A cup of hot milk, and the rest are all kinds of desserts that Alan likes.

…

"Master, not long after you went to Italy, I received a letter from you. I saw that the other party didn't say anything urgent, so I didn't inform you in advance."

Hut looked at Alan eating, took out a small envelope from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

Wiping his hands with a wet wipe, Alan looked at the familiar Chinese characters on the surface of the envelope and chuckled.

Looking at the private letter inside, it was a letter sent to Allen by Counselor Wang, who had returned to China to work.

The news of Shanghai developing Pudong was officially confirmed. With such news, Allen, as a noble lord who did not add insult to injury at the critical moment, but was very stubborn in dealing with the matter at hand, although no one publicized his behavior, it had its benefits. Counselor Wang still sent him an invitation letter in a private capacity as soon as possible.

The letter merely repeated the policy content to Allen, and the other party asked Allen whether he was interested in Shanghai and whether he wanted to build a building there.

Everyone knows that Master Allen is rich, very generous and face-conscious. Now that he has a new place, he uses this letter to test Allen.

After reading the contents of the letter, Counselor Wang emphasized at the end of the letter that it was okay if Allen did not want to invest, and he could go over and inspect it when he was free, just as if it were a trip.

But if Allen is interested in the development of Shanghu, he can contact Counselor Wang, who will then send a formal document to invite Allen to send someone to investigate and give him the best treatment.

…

Pushing the letter to Hut, Alan took another egg tart and ate it, motioning Hut to look at the letter.

After Hut read the letter carefully, he looked at Allen with a puzzled look, waiting for him to ask questions.

"What do you think?"

"I……"

Hut had little experience in investment, and he felt a headache when Alan asked about such general issues.

Hut had never been to Shanghai, but he had some knowledge about it. After all, a hundred years ago, it was one of the most prosperous places in Asia. Who doesn't know about Shanghai?

"Master, I see you don't seem to be very interested in this place?"

"Um."

Alan nodded, picked up a small cream cake and stuffed it into his mouth. After taking a sip of milk, he looked at Huth and said, "They are now interested in developing Shanghai, but there is no reason for us to participate here."

What is the ultimate goal of Shanghai?

Is it business?

It's the port!

Because it is the largest port, it has attracted various investment groups and enterprises.

Although Allen's business also depends on the port, he also relies on factories and workers.

Both his radio factory and instant noodle factory are now located further south, and he is adopting the strategy of taking root in the local area.

He has no shortage of either local policies or tax policies.

In this case, what's the point of just going to Shanghai to get a piece of land and build a building?

Hanging out with unfamiliar foreign companies all day?

I have money to burn, so what can't I do with it?

Apart from these, the only thing left is to take a piece of land and develop real estate there or something.

But Allen doesn't have much talent in real estate.
