When a woman gives a belt to a man, the meaning of this gift is quite interesting.

Alan pretended not to care and asked Yasin Rania to come over and give him a massage, and she came over without much resistance.

Feeling Yasin Rania's unfamiliar massage technique, the two of them asked and answered each other, chatting casually.

Alan recalled the information he had read about Harrods.

This time, the Egyptian father and son finally solved their urgent problem.

Allen has long wanted to set up a large-scale comprehensive membership shopping mall, but firstly, he does not have enough cash on hand, and secondly, he does not have enough staff. Due to these two reasons, the supermarket has been delayed and the plan has not been officially released.

This time, the acquisition of Harrods just made up for one of his shortcomings. With this large department store, Alan planned to take over for a while without making any changes, mainly for the purpose of learning.

Then he cooperated with his "alma mater" Cardiff University, found some of his seniors, juniors and other college students, and asked them to come here for internships directly. He first sent them over and placed them in the original department, thus replicating a group of people with sales and management experience.

This period of time could be as short as half a year or as long as one to one and a half years. When Alan recovers and saves enough cash, these people will be considered "academically successful". He can then take them away and set up a comprehensive membership shopping mall as planned. Harrods can be used as a large training base for new employees, providing him with a steady stream of training for supermarket sales and management talents.

My university classmates can use it with confidence, and the initial internship salary does not need to be paid that high.

If you dare to be dishonest and disobedient.

You won’t even be given a diploma!

After all, Cardiff University is in Wales, so Alan can still manage it.

This method of controlling people from a distance is relatively gentle and will not easily cause resistance from these college students. Once they gradually adapt and accept the current state of society after a few years, and then various benefits are slowly added, their loyalty will be guaranteed.

…

Listening to Yasin Rania telling him about the company's rules and regulations, Alan nodded occasionally.

Although these Egyptians were a bit exaggerated in their work, they did not forget to promote the culture of their homeland even after fleeing to Britain. They decorated the entire Harrods department store in a smoky and foul manner. But excluding these exaggerated elements, old Mohammed Faroji still had some skills in management.

For example, since the year before last, Harrods has introduced clear management regulations, no customer is allowed to enter the mall to shop if they are dressed too casually.

The dress code is too casual, including but not limited to wearing slippers, big shorts, exposing breasts, untidy clothes, etc. Although it is not required that every customer needs to wear formal clothes when shopping here, strange and flashy clothes are not allowed.

In this way, the mall's status has been taken to a higher level. Although there have been some ridicules about their regulations in the media in the past two years, overall, in Allen's opinion, such management regulations are still very good.

Allen has always been casual unless he is at home. If he is outside, he usually has a servant who is responsible for his image to help him match his clothes.

There are strict regulations on what kind of clothes to wear for different occasions, what kind of shoes to match, or ties, bow ties, hairstyles, jewelry, etc., and even the matching perfume.

Although there is a little sense of restraint, Allen does not reject it.

When you go out, your personal image is still very important. Sometimes, some big guys dress very casually, which is what they call down-to-earth...

In fact, this is a lack of rules and quality.

This kind of atmosphere was corrupted by the Americans.

Especially with the development of the Internet, people were led astray by a group of technology geeks, and later on, the so-called down-to-earth clothing came into being.

Some big boss dressed very low-key and simply, and then attended a meeting on a certain important occasion.

There were even people who later attended press conferences wearing jeans, plaid shirts and sneakers.

If this kind of behavior happened in the past, Allen might have thought that it was really as hyped up in the media, and that this was a manifestation of the boss's easy-going and down-to-earth nature.

But with his current status changing, Alan no longer has this idea. When attending certain occasions, even if he is feeling relaxed, he must dress formally.

As a big guy, if you don't dress formally, it shows disrespect for others. Don't talk about being down-to-earth, easy-going, or some bullshit symbol of American freedom.

This is country bumpkin behavior.

Ordinary people certainly don’t care, but when a person reaches a certain status, if they can’t even manage their image, how can we expect them to be good to their products and customers?

If a person's own image is very bad, or his image is very casual, can customers dare to expect his products to be any good?

If he says that the quality control of his products is extremely strict, wouldn't that contradict their casual image?

If you can’t even manage yourself, how can you manage your products?

Anyway, Alan doesn't believe it now. He has been doing the same thing all along, just like his takeout. The threshold is to apply for a membership card first. Even if the customer doesn't need it in the end, he can refund the money to them.

But the card application process cannot be omitted.

First... Alan was afraid that they didn't have the financial resources to spend, and a membership card was equivalent to a deposit.

Second, the membership card can screen out a large number of customers who are reluctant to apply for the card. If a customer is reluctant to apply for a membership card, how many times can you expect him to order takeout?

Alan never cheats the poor. He will use this covert method to directly screen out some of the poor customers, once and for all.

…

"Okay...are you tired? Go press the doorbell and ask the servant to take you to take a bath and rest for a while. You can stay for dinner in the evening."

When Alan was thinking about something, Yasin Rania rubbed his shoulders obediently without saying anything. After he thought for a long time and came to his senses, he realized that she was still busy. Then he stretched out his right hand, put it on Yasin Rania's hand on his shoulder, and patted her hand gently.

This bold action made Yasin Rania tremble subconsciously, but Alan stopped there, as if he really patted her hand, without any intention, just simply reminding her.

Yasin Rania blushed and obediently followed Alan's instructions, walked to the balcony door frame, pressed the doorbell, and notified the servants outside to come in.

…

"Master... that old guy sent someone to ask about his son's condition again."

After sending Yasin Rania to rest, Xiao Shitou walked to Alan, squatted beside his recliner, and reported the situation in a low voice.

"hehe……"

When Alan thought of the crippled Dodi, a sneer appeared on his face.

What does it mean to strip the bones and extract the marrow and eat everything?

We must blast out every last bit of value from the waste.

Dodi can't die now, and Allen has no intention of really killing him.

It’s not that he is soft-hearted, but this kind of person, after this experience, will be scared to death in the future. Even if he is given ten times the courage, he will not dare to come back to trouble Alan.

Alan has this confidence!

He needs Dodi to be alive now, because this guy can only move around in London in the future. With his social circle as a rich second-generation, when his friends see him in this miserable state, and think about who he offended to become like this, doesn't it have great publicity significance?

Alan doesn't stay in London often, and at times like this, he needs to play the villain role. With such a big Harrods department store there, all kinds of monsters and demons will inevitably be envious. But before looking for trouble with this department store, think about the master behind it first!

Let’s see if we can afford to offend the ferocious Master Allen!

…

Besides... Harrods is still a listed company, and it will take some time to delist and privatize. This requires Dodi's father, Mohammed Fahey, to do it personally. Release his son first, show that he is a man of his word, and make it easier for him to work better for him.

After the transfer of Harrods Department Store is completed, whether to keep them or not will depend on Alan's mood at that time. Maybe...

It's not impossible to just report them and say that they came to Britain for other purposes, and then let the security department arrest the father and son and get all the money from them.

Anyway, it's just a case of killing someone with a borrowed knife. It doesn't matter who is killed. These foreign wealthy businessmen came to Britain and became British citizens. For Allen, they are fat sheep that he can slaughter at will.

In a constitutional monarchy society, no matter how rich you are, if you don't have the corresponding class and status, you are just a piece of fat meat that will be swallowed up sooner or later.

…

"Go and arrange for someone to take Dodi to Welsh citizenship, and then send him back. Remember... have them settle the expenses he incurred at our Carmarthen Public Hospital over the past few days."

"clear!"

Little Stone nodded, stood up and prepared to make arrangements quickly.

"Don't leave in a hurry. How are the arrangements over there going?"

Alan raised his left hand and called out to Little Stone.

What he was asking about now was getting rid of Karami's sister.

“Master…our people have already been arranged. These past few days…her whereabouts are uncertain. Old John said they will make temporary arrangements, but…when they are done, they will definitely notify you as soon as possible.”

"Well...alright, go ahead."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Alan nodded.

Ever since he found out that Andrew didn't care about the insult he wrote to him, Alan gave up his first plan.

His current idea is to strike first, cut off her left and right arms first, and then...

As soon as that bitch dies, Alan will prepare a big move to take them all away in one wave.

Alan has been a little bored after staying in London for so many days. He misses Wales a little.

Now we just have to wait for the people at home to take action.

…

May 7th, just after noon.

Near Malmesbury, a small village in Wiltshire, southwest England.

This is one of the routes back to London after leaving Mr. Cha's estate, Highgrove Manor.

The roads in Britain are radial, like a spider web, expanding outward in circles. There are circular roads and radial roads. The roads are connected to each other, so transportation is generally very convenient.

But this place is already a remote area far away from London. If you want to get back to London quickly, you have to take these small roads. Otherwise, if you want to get on the highway, you have to go a long way south.

Here in Malmesbury, there is a well-known small restaurant with a good reputation. It is called the Mayumafu Restaurant. In the past, it was a place where ordinary civilians and traveling caravans stayed.

To put it bluntly, it can be understood as a place equivalent to a wild inn in China.

With a long history, the restaurant's signature dishes have become quite famous within the area of ​​dozens of kilometers. Most of the tourists who pass by here at mealtime will stop by and have a meal at this restaurant.

But the economic situation in Britain has been too sluggish in recent years, so fewer people are going out to play, fewer tourists, fewer people passing by here, and the hotel business...

Each day is getting worse than the last.

The prices at restaurants like these are a little bit higher in a remote location. If it were a normal day when everyone was out having fun, it wouldn't matter if they spent a dozen pounds more on food. But now...

In order to save money, most people would step on the accelerator and go to the small town of Swindon, which is more than 20 kilometers away, to eat.

As time went on, there were very few people walking on this path in front of Malmesbury, often with only a few cars passing by in a day.

…

A burgundy Rolls-Royce was driving slowly on a country road.

Inside the car, Karami's sister, Annabelle, crossed her legs and watched the show on the TV installed in the car.

The quiet soundproofing environment and the extremely sophisticated shock absorbers ensure that the comfort of the people in the car is not affected even when the vehicle is driving on such a country road.

Generally speaking, if you want to buy a Rolls-Royce, you still need a certain status. Ordinary civilians would not be so stupid as to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy a Rolls-Royce, let alone a customized model.

But Annabell has her sister, and if there is pillow talk, what’s the use of a Rolls-Royce?

Strictly speaking, the Rolls-Royce she is sitting in is a custom-made royal model, so she feels at ease sitting in it.

…

Annabell's driver is an ordinary veteran driver who was noticed by the boss when he was middle-aged. He has a steady personality and has been driving for decades. His greatest advantage is his stability.

Just after turning the corner, a few dozen meters ahead, I saw an old man in simple clothes standing on the side of the road holding a small sign. Next to him was an old-fashioned bicycle, and there seemed to be a backpack in the basket.

The old man held a small sign in both hands and waved it towards them. The driver saw the words "Kind people passing by, can you please stop for a moment" written on the sign.

"Boss, there's a gentleman blocking the road ahead. He seems to be in trouble and needs help."

The driver turned his head and reminded Annabell who was sitting in the rear left seat.

"Oh? Don't worry about him."

As Annabelle finished speaking, she saw the old man standing in front of their car.

It's in broad daylight here, and although the location is a bit remote, we can't just hit people, right?

…

The driver's only trace of caution made him subconsciously press the door lock button again to ensure that the other party would not open their car door directly from the outside.

The old man held up a sign and approached the car, motioning to the people inside to lower the window so that he could speak.
