For Zhang Xin, there are some freedoms that she yearns for, but there are some things that are too free that she doesn't yearn for at all, and she even has some resistance to them.

As a woman, she has lived in a conservative environment since childhood.

Now... Carmarthen County organized such an event. Zhang Xin didn't like it at all, but that was an event organized by Sir Siphis, who was an old man in the Earl's Mansion, and the starting point of the event was also good.

It can only be said that everyone has different concepts, different perceptions, and different starting points, so... Although Zhang Xin knew that this event was held around June, she didn't pay much attention to it, and Xifeis...

…

Of course, Siphis would not go to Zhang Xin, the assistant secretary, to report anything.

In the end, it turned out like this. The two sides failed to coordinate information properly and ignored this matter, so that they happened to meet on the day the inspection team arrived.

Now... the convoy has entered the city. After being reminded by Team Leader Wang, Zhang Xin suddenly remembered this matter!

Zhang Xin broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about it...

As they were all Chinese, she knew very well what the people in this car would probably react when they saw the scene outside.

Will today's matter go wrong?

This is a "big thing" that the Earl has been telling us for a long time! We need to have a good relationship with the other party.

If she was negligent and caused any misunderstanding between the two sides...

Then her future would be ruined.

Zhang Xin doesn't care about anything else now, she only cares about her own future. She gave up the plan of an American company to poach her with a high salary and stayed with Allen. Why?

Isn't it better to stay here, not only have the opportunity to realize her ambitions, but also get a salary that is no less than what those big American companies promise her, and also have a status?

Having spent so many years at university in London, she knew very well which was more important, status or money. She could earn less money, but her status could not be lowered. Being around aristocrats was better than being a white-collar worker in an ordinary large company!

Now……

…

"Captain Wang, how about we take a detour? We do have an event today, but..."

Zhang Xin was subconsciously a little flustered.

"Oh?" When Team Leader Wang heard this, his heart moved. He glanced at Zhang Xin's expression again. He now had some guesses about the current situation...

But his guess was that there might be some religious activities going on ahead that were not convenient for their inspection team to see, or it might be some local activities that were not open to the public.

"I'll listen to Secretary Zhang. Haha... If it's inconvenient, just take a detour."

Team leader Wang didn't dwell on it too much. He just followed the host's advice.

“…”

Zhang Xin was just about to tell the driver, but when she turned around, the wide view ahead revealed an astonishing sight. At the end of the not-too-wide two-lane road, both sides were covered with banners. Under the sunlight, a huge team of hundreds of people, starting from that place, had already... taken off their clothes and were ready to go!

At this time, Team Leader Wang also saw the scene not far away. The city was not big, and he would soon reach the city center with just one step on the accelerator, leaving him no chance to take a detour.

Apart from the crowd watching around, the group of contestants were so dazzling!

A large white patch, with some girls being plump and some slim.

Team leader Wang stared at the scene with his mouth open, and instantly recalled the pig farms he had visited when he went to the countryside for research a few years ago. The large white pigs imported from abroad were fat and strong. In the hundreds of fences throughout the pig farm, hundreds of white pigs were densely packed in sight. The scene then was so similar to now!

It’s just that… now the pig has turned into a human and is riding a bicycle.

…

“Bang!”

As the starting gun fired.

The entire team slowly accelerated and the race began!

They have to ride for nearly forty minutes from Llanelli Port to the town of Carmarthen, and the race route goes all the way northwest!

…

"Wow... Lao Zhou, this is really a foreign scene. Is this an event held to welcome us?"

"Of course not. I said foreigners are enthusiastic. Look... they are too enthusiastic!"

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, what a shame!"

"Tsk... you little bastard, you said you didn't want to watch it, so why didn't you sit down first? What are you standing for?"

"I just look at the differences between foreigners and us... Hey... They are pretty much the same, pretty much the same."

"Hey, don't tell me...their hair is yellow, and the rest of their body is yellow, how did it grow?"

"Look... some of them are not yellow, while others have a darker color. I guess they are dull because they haven't seen the light for a long time, right?"

"Move aside and give me some space. Let me see which one you are talking about."

…

Team leader Wang's face twitched. Through the rearview mirror, he saw that everyone in the car was moving towards the middle aisle. Some of them stood up and grabbed the armrests on the front seat with both hands, leaning forward and looking forward. Some of them bent their heads and held on to their colleagues' shoulders, watching and discussing.

The main thing is, you can discuss it as you like, but the receptionist on the other side can understand Chinese. It's so obvious what you said, it would be embarrassing if they heard it!

After Secretary Zhang's whispered explanation, Team Leader Wang wanted to laugh but held it back.

“Cough cough cough…”

"Everyone, please be quiet. We just happened to catch up with Carmarthen County's annual environmental protection campaign! Look out your windows, and think about the scenery along the way. Wales does such a good job in environmental protection, and they still have to invest a lot of manpower and resources every year to promote environmental protection!"

Team Leader Wang stood up and clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Of course... I wasn't entirely attracted to him, because he was blocking the main "viewing" path, and I couldn't help but look at him.

…

"What does this mean? This is the awareness and sense of responsibility of the old capitalist countries towards environmental protection."

"We have just started to develop, and many problems have been ignored in the past. Some companies have also been muddling along when it comes to environmental protection. Today... seeing this situation, have you been inspired? Is it worthwhile for us to reflect on it? Learn from it? We should learn and apply it now, look at what others have done, and then think about why they do it and what benefits they get from doing it!"

At this point, Team Leader Wang turned sideways and pointed forward...

A team of hundreds of fruit riders were leading the way for them. They all had the same destination and the same route. They couldn't just stop here and not move forward, right?

Walking behind them now, you can really... enjoy this kind of Western scenery all the way.

"Comrades, their method is to get closer to nature and reduce carbon emissions. Although their method is a little bit immoral in our country, the culture and cognition are different. Can we take the essence and discard the dross? When we go back, can we also organize a similar publicity activity that conforms to our policies and is suitable for Shanghai, where we can ride along the Huangpu River?"

“Huahua…”

After hearing what Team Leader Wang said, the frivolous look on the faces of a few people with high ideological awareness instantly disappeared.

A leader is a leader. No matter what unexpected situation occurs, he must have a plan to deal with it. Just like what Team Leader Wang said, isn’t this worth reflecting on?

Very worth it!

When facing anything that is relatively unfamiliar to them or that they have not seen the essence of, don't question it first. Instead, understand it clearly, understand their purpose for doing so and the corresponding results that will be achieved. Then analyze it, learn from their strengths and overcome their weaknesses, reflect on themselves, and finally apply what they have learned!

The members of the inspection team who were just watching the excitement, after listening to what Team Leader Wang said, looked at the fruit riders team "leading the way" in front of the convoy with different eyes. Their eyes were full of thoughts, reflections, learning, criticisms, etc., and they were very serious!

…

"As of the end of last month, we have acquired another warehouse in Birmingham, which is currently being renovated and renovated. It is expected to be officially put into use in August."

"Um……"

Alan closed the information about the food delivery company in his hand.

So, is this food delivery company making money now?

earn……

But they make very little money, and some takeout outlets in small cities even lose money overall.

However, Allen still gritted his teeth and continued to invest large amounts of money earned from various sources into the food delivery company.

The main thing is that he is not following the path of financing, burning money, advertising and exploitation that food delivery companies will follow in the future Internet era.

Allen's current food delivery company, whether it is warehouse land, employees, vehicles, etc., are all his private property and has no external financing.

And he didn't rent a house, but bought land and a house!

This consumes a lot of funds and the overall expansion is very slow, but the path is extremely stable and can be considered a heavy asset among heavy assets.

…

The takeout industry can provide quite a lot of jobs.

With this condition, Allen sent people to negotiate with each family one by one. In Britain, not all cities have nobles, but in general, nobles of all sizes, small families, etc. are distributed according to cities, and everyone governs according to their own territory.

If outsiders want to do business locally, they cannot force their way in. They either have to take the initiative to share some profits, or... they have to fight.

But there was no way Allen would give them shares, so they had to negotiate with other conditions.

For example, the economic situation has been bad in the past two years, and his food delivery company can help create jobs and stabilize the local situation.

This is also an advantage. Coupled with his personal status and his promise to further recruit employees, upgrade industries and other conditions in the future, he will be able to slowly expand into other cities.

At present...with Allen's financial resources, he has only expanded the food delivery company to more than 30 cities.

This is his limit now.

It wasn't that he was in trouble, it was that he didn't have enough cash on hand...

The plans that are currently being implemented, as well as the industrial park in India, the new French restaurant chain, and the large international hospital promised to be opened in cooperation with Shanghai, all require money!

Looking at the financial report for the first half of the year, Alan felt a headache.

Only when you don’t manage a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

He seems to have achieved a lot now, but it is far from enough for him.

…

For example, a yacht.

Alan only has one yacht now, and it was converted from a warship. The defensive power of such a yacht has been improved, but wasn’t the reason he did this because he had little money?

If you have enough money on hand, you can just spend a few hundred million pounds to buy a 10,000-ton yacht. Wouldn't that be more upscale than the current yacht?

Although he already has one yacht, Allen has already started dreaming about building his second one.

As for the castle at home.

Now he theoretically only has three properties in Carmarthen and London, and one of the two in Carmarthen has not yet been fully built.

Is this enough for Alan, who aspires to be a noble lord who only knows how to enjoy life?

It’s not enough!

Do we have to rent a house temporarily when we go out to play in the future?

That’s so low!

Alan's ideal now is to buy real estate in every country, wherever he can go, may go, often go, and has the probability to go in the future. He must buy large real estate, servants, vehicles, etc.!

Wherever he went, he had his own home and his own servants. This was life.

By that time, these houses will no longer be ordinary properties, but palaces!

Master Allen wants to have palaces all over the world!

With so many properties, transportation and the like are indispensable, and a private jet should also be put on the agenda.

If a private jet is not insured, what if it needs maintenance or repair when you need it urgently?

You have to buy at least two!

Now that we have long-range private jets, do we also need short-range private business helicopters?

And when you have all these, that's life.

When his future companies are on track, he can travel in each country for a few months, then get on his private jet to the next country and continue traveling!

This is life!

Instead of being like now, where you seem to be very rich, but when it comes to statistics, you still have to worry about money.

…

"Okay, I got it!"

Alan stood up impatiently. He had almost finished looking through the financial reports. Some factories were really in a hopeless situation.

"Hutt... go inform the pharmaceutical factory. I still have more than a month before I return from this business trip. If they still can't make what I want, then replace them! Whoever is incompetent will be replaced!"

Alan got angry when he thought about the little blue pill that made so much money. He had already bought the formula, but it took him a whole year or two to complete the later preparation task. This efficiency was too slow!

"Okay, I got it. I'll call the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory over later."

Hut looked at Alan's angry expression, combined with the financial report that the young master had just read. Although he didn't know why Alan suddenly became a little impatient, but... now the family business is in a period of growth, and there is a shortage of funds. This feeling is like there is a lot of money in front of you, but you just can't get it. This is very tempting!

…

"Master, I just received a call. The team will be passing the road outside the manor in about ten minutes. Didn't you say I would notify you when they are almost there?"

Xiao Shitou walked into the reading room and saw that the group of people seemed to have finished their work. Then he walked over to Alan and whispered a reminder.

"Oh? Are you coming soon? Come on, get the telescope ready for me. I want to take a look!"

When Allen heard that it was finally coming, who had never watched such an event offline, excitedly left everyone in the reading room, stood up and left.
