"Then... Master, if we take over His Highness's businesses, do we need to move the factory here?"

Hut had no doubt as to whether he could take over those properties. According to his young master's way of handling things, since His Highness could no longer run the business, it was most appropriate for the young master to take over now.

…

"Need not!"

Alan took the knife and cut another piece of swan meat and threw it to Xiao Huang.

He liked to move some necessary industries to Carmarthenshire and keep them under his nose, a bit like a wolf-guard.

This is for safety reasons, and secondly, to prevent people with ulterior motives from interfering.

But where is Boss Cha’s industry?

Just outside the Welsh border, next to his Highgrove Estate, what is there to be afraid of with this property?

On the contrary, leaving it there can allow one to openly use the boss's reputation to do things.

The health care product industry has huge profits and great financial prospects, but Allen will not eat it all alone.

Not only will he not relocate the factory, but he will also give out shares, and William, Harry and Diana will give them dividends.

In this way, even if he makes money from these things, Boss Cha will not be jealous. Even if no one says it openly, Boss Cha will understand what Alan means.

…

"Over at Bentley, haven't those workers finished processing it yet?"

Thinking about how Bentley had been dragging his feet for so long, Alan really couldn't stand it anymore.

It’s not that the price was not agreed upon, but that the workers are dragging their feet!

There are bad people among the masses.

"Uh... not yet. Some people are very stubborn and they don't really want to move."

Hutt looked somewhat helpless.

It is hard to say whether these people are good or bad. We can only say that after staying in a place for a long time, they have a certain sense of ownership and feel that the factory is their own home.

In theory, it is a good idea to have such an idea, to contribute more to the company and to love the company as one's home.

But now the business is almost failing, and if an outsider were to buy the business and just move it to a new place, these people would not agree.

They are either shareholders or simply workers who have worked for a long time.

In addition, during the negotiations, the other party’s condition was that these workers could not be abandoned.

so……

The worst thing is that if there are any few workers who disagree with the factory relocation, the entire acquisition will be stuck here.

Now both parties have agreed on the price, and Allen has even prepared the new site for Bentley.

But if the factory doesn't move, he can't continue operating. Fortunately, the money has not been paid yet, otherwise the loss would be even greater because of this kind of thing.

…

The knife cut into the swan's flesh. Alan narrowed his eyes and became angrier the more he thought about it.

It seems that this time when Old Carl comes back, he must teach these stubborn old guys a lesson.

He is now accustomed to asking old Karl to transfer people back from America to handle matters in Britain, and when matters in America occur, he will send people from Britain to handle them.

Both sides do not interfere with each other and act more covertly.

…

As the end of August approaches, the situation outside becomes increasingly tense.

The United States has issued an ultimatum to Iraq, but Iraq remains tough.

Then... the coalition was formed naturally.

It seems that the world's attention is focused on the Middle East.

Iraq may still be fantasizing that if others can do it, so can I.

This time they can also be like some of the big guys, beat the Americans so hard that they cry for their parents and run away with their tails between their legs.

Amidst all the excitement, Allen has been resting at home recently.

It was almost time for school to start, so William and Harry, who had been home playing for a while, also returned to the manor.

The one who sent them here this time was Diana.

After receiving the news, Alan, wearing a very cool pair of shorts, ran downstairs to greet Diana without caring whether it was impolite or not.

…

"Hey, aunt... I didn't expect it was you who sent them back this time."

Looking at Diana drinking tea alone in the reception room, Alan wanted to make a joke with her, but seeing that Diana looked a little haggard, Alan held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

William and Harry went upstairs, leaving only Allen and Diana in the huge living room.

Today, Diana wore a pair of denim shorts and a trendy top, a short-sleeved shirt with the Union Jack printed on it. She looked like a rebellious college girl.

Seeing Alan coming, he pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned for Alan to sit down.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Recently, due to the explosive international news, Diana has rarely been in the news, but her own life was indeed not going well. She couldn't help it, so she moved back to Highgrove Manor for a few days to spend time with her children.

Only after sending William and Harry back this time could she come to Allen openly. Normally, in order to avoid suspicion, she couldn't go directly to Allen if she wanted to see William and Harry, and she had to apply if she wanted to see them.

Looking at Allen's fair and tender body, still the same as before, and then thinking about herself, Diana didn't say anything and fell silent again.

…

Seeing her like this, Alan had a headache. He had said everything he needed to say. There were some things he couldn't help with.

"I heard a saying some time ago, and I think it suits you very well."

"What?"

After taking a sip of tea, Diana looked up at Alan.

"Tsk... Sometimes, when life is almost unbearable, you can change roles. For example, treat life as work, just like you... you treat being a princess as a job, as a position, and... some people you can treat as colleagues."

Alan didn't want to say it too obviously, as it would be bad if such words got out, so he stopped at the point.

There's no need to get so worked up over a small matter.

Everyone should be more open-minded and just treat this as work or as colleagues.

They just do their own things in private and don't make things public. As a royal family, they care about face the most. As long as their face is good, everything else will be easy. They have lived together for so many years, it is impossible for them not to understand each other.

“…”

Diana looked at Alan speechlessly.

She understood the meaning of the words, but it was hard to say whether she could do it.

If she could have done it, she would have done it long ago.

People like Allen are sometimes like children who never grow up. He is not married yet...

Thinking of this, Diana was suddenly stunned. Did Alan never want to get married?

Look at him like this, do you think he doesn't have a girlfriend?

Even dogs don’t believe it, but he plays around, but he has no worries. When he thinks of something, he goes out to play. When he’s had enough fun, he goes home to rest for a while and then gets busy with work. Life is so easy this way.

Thinking of this, Diana found herself somewhat envious of Alan.

…

Alan watched Diana looking at him, sometimes frowning, sometimes in a daze, and this look made him feel uneasy.

"What's wrong? What difficulties did you encounter?"

"I did remember one thing. Please help me think of a solution."

Diana suddenly changed the subject and asked Alan a small question.

"Well! You go ahead."

Alan beckoned and asked the servant to bring him a portion of cream smoothie. He also signaled to Diana with his eyes to see if she wanted it. After receiving Diana's signal, Alan ordered another portion.

…

"Tell me, if there is an old man you hate who often sends you flowers, what would you do?"

"???"

"Who? Sent it to you?"

Alan hasn't heard of this news yet, but...

In fact, many people outside already know that Diana has been separated and she is now in name only.

But with her looks and young age, she is still in the prime of her life, so she will indeed attract some daring admirers.

…

Diana nodded, pointed in a direction, and said, "A wealthy American businessman named Trump often asks his secretary to fly over to give me flowers, and there are small cards written by him inside."

"???"

Alan blinked, making sure he wasn't hallucinating.

What about this?

Is that Trump?

That little golden retriever?

Damn it, this bastard is so brave that he even poached people here.

Let’s not talk about whether his behavior is good or not. What if he really catches up, what is he trying to do?

You're taking advantage of me and want me to call you uncle?

Thinking of this, Alan narrowed his eyes and asked faintly, "Does his secretary often come to deliver it to you?"

"Um!"

"I understand. When you leave today, take my bodyguard with you. Next time he comes, you don't have to worry about him. I will handle it."

There was something wrong in Alan's eyes. When did these Americans dare to be so arrogant and extend their hands to the British Isles?

The paperwork is still there, we are just separated temporarily.

In this situation, it is reasonable for Allen to intervene.

…

Mid-September 1990, Lithuanian border.

After arriving here after a difficult journey, Alexei Pajitnov blinked and looked at this place with some curiosity.

He had never been to Lithuania before, but this was one of the first countries to gain independence.

Although the situation has been calm for half a year, this small border town is now quite desolate and there are few people on the streets.

There were several ordinary vans parked on the side of the road. Someone in the van saw Chikli next to him, rolled down the window and greeted him.

"Alexei, this way!"

Chikli spoke in a sharp voice, and nodded to Alexi Pajitnov, who had a big beard next to him, and signaled him with his eyes to follow him.

After spending such a long time, the two of them finally got tickets to this side. After overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, they got here. After crossing the border, Chikli finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they got through, they would be safe for the time being.

After getting in the car, several men in suits nodded to them. The van started quickly and drove towards the booked hotel.

…

"Chikli! Why is it so difficult to sign a contract?"

Alexey Pajitnov looked at the contract in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.

This good friend of his, Chikli, is a very interesting person. Since the two met in a black bar last year, Alexey Pajitnov has had a good impression of Chikli.

This person is different from the rigid people around him. He is very talkative and I often chat with him and comfort him when he is bored and drinking.

Chikli seems to know a lot about some information from the outside world.

Sometimes Alexey Pajitnov would wonder if there was something wrong with Chikli.

But since this year, the situation has changed. Many places have become stricter, but many places have also relaxed. Some things are no longer important.

What Alexey Pajitnov was most worried about was that what he had would be taken away by someone, so he shared his thoughts with his good friend Chikli.

Who knew that the other party would help him find a way just a few days later.

I thought that by doing this, I could take the money and run away with my family.

but……

After he told the other party his conditions, the news seemed to have fallen into oblivion. He waited for several months before receiving the response.

I didn't expect signing a contract to be so troublesome, requiring not only writing a written document, but also taking photos and even videos.

…

"Alexei, this is normal operation. You know, they don't trust you. After all, this is a million-dollar business. If you run away and sell the copyright to someone else later, they will suffer a huge loss."

Chikli spread his hands and explained to Alexey Pajitnov helplessly why signing the contract was so troublesome.

Alexey Pajitnov squinted at Chikli. What he said made sense, but he just felt uneasy because the other party did not bargain!

One million US dollars, in Alexey Pajitnov's view, was just asking for too much. It was a huge sum of money, enough for his family to live a stable life.

But now that we've arrived at the place and have the contract in hand, all that's left is to do what the other party asks.

Alexey Pajitnov gritted his teeth, glanced at Chikli and said, "Brother, how about you accompany me to record?"

"Um?"

Chikli instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw the way Alexei Pajitnov was looking at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

…

Half an hour later, in the hotel room, the people responsible for signing the contract had already left, leaving only Chikli and Alexey Pajitnov, and a bank card on their desk.

Alexey Pajitnov sat on the sofa, staring at the bank card on the table in a daze.

"That's it? I have a million dollars now?"

"Yes! Alexei, you are a millionaire now!"

Chikli was a little envious of the bank card on the table, but he didn't dare to reach out for it.

Even though those people left, Chikli knew that there were still people watching him outside where he couldn't see. If he wanted to go back in the future, he would have to honestly complete the small task assigned to him, and then find some Russians who wanted to help!

Now Alexei Pajitnov is far from qualified.

But... right now, we have taken the first step. As long as Alexey Pajitnov makes money, when he returns, some of the people he knows will be rich people.

These people are like ducks in a lake.

Although Chikli did not know the poem that the ducks know first when the river water warms in spring, he understood that whenever there is any sign of trouble, this group of rich people who are used to enjoying themselves will run the fastest!

They want to run away, but they are not familiar with the outside world. Then, won’t his chance come?

"Alexei, what are you going to do with the money?"

"What else can I do? I can't take it back with me, can I?"

Listening to Chikli's question, Alexey Pajitnov rolled his eyes. If he dared to take such a large sum of money back openly, his fate would be...

You can imagine.
