What Allen saw now was the deserted manor of the Russell family.
Even when Allen threatened him, Earl Russell had never been as panicked as he was now.
Allen and he are both nobles. No matter how harsh he speaks or how powerful he is, at least... Earl Russell feels that Allen will not touch him directly.
We are all aristocrats, and aristocrats must follow aristocratic rules. We cannot act recklessly, cross the line, or kill each other. This is the bottom line.
But now that his doorstep was set on fire, Earl Russell was panicking. He didn't know who his opponent was. Was it the Americans? Or was there someone hiding in the dark?
He didn't have time to think about these things. They dared to burn the garden at the gate of his house the night before, and burned the main building inside the next day. Who would dare to joke with his own life?
Once the Russell family left, it would be an exaggeration to say that the whole of Swansea was leaderless. At most, their family was the most famous outsider in the local area.
But without the Russell family as a roadblock, Swansea was like prey with the last veil unveiled, waiting for Allen to pick it.
…
Looking at this deserted manor, which was once full of guests and bustling with activity, Alan remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say before that when the Russell family moved from Cardiff to Swansea, they were warmly welcomed by some local small families, who thought that the arrival of a great nobleman would bring development to Swansea.
Now... decades later, the people are gone again, leaving behind only a manor with a mottled exterior wall.
Thinking of this, Alan was suddenly stunned, and remembered the question that Ajani asked him before she left, why he didn't hold a big banquet when he moved to his new home.
Isn't this what Alan doesn't want?
His interpersonal relationships are like this, either too high-end or too low-end. Faced with such a group of friends, all of whom are old guys, there is no need for Alan to invite them to come and support him when he moves to a new home. This will seem too polite and too distant.
Others... He didn't know that many other people, and his personal connections were limited, so in the end he didn't hold any moving party.
But now... Alan suddenly had an idea, and his mind suddenly opened up. What if...
Following the idea of holding a party to celebrate moving to a new home, can we find other reasons to hold a party in America and entertain the guests?
Just invite some people whose status is not too prominent to participate.
What if Allen, as the boss of a pharmaceutical company or a mid-level doctor, invites these colleagues in the American pharmaceutical industry to get together?
Some of these people are quite wealthy, but very few of them have extremely high status.
It was a great honor for them that Alan invited them. No matter whether they would be competitors in the future, it would be no problem to invite hundreds of people to such an event.
In this case, to hold such a banquet, a huge venue is needed, and security measures must be in place. When the banquet is about to end, Alan, as the host of the banquet, should at least provide some entertainment activities for the guests, right?
The noble lord from Great Britain is particular about being generous.
How about arranging a high-end beauty for each person?
All expenses tonight are covered by Master Allen!
With this party, isn't this a very suitable excuse?
Don’t his female employees who haven’t officially started working have a reason to come to America?
It also allows them to directly get to know the people they will come into contact with in their future work, which can be considered a "benefit" for these female employees.
Then……
As long as the Argentine transnational service organization dares to take on this "big job", Allen will directly hack all their people, and those security personnel will be where he can manipulate them.
At that time, we can let old Carl contact the relevant departments in the United States in advance, and everyone can work together to conduct a sting operation. Allen wants female employees, and the Americans want political achievements. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
Um……
Thinking about it this way, with Carl's connections, the venue for this gathering might have to be Los Angeles. It is not only Carl's headquarters, but also a large-scale fame and fortune place. Carl is familiar with all kinds of people, even...
Allen's private prison is not far from Los Angeles. If he handles it well this time, he will not only be able to give political achievements to those Americans who have always had a good relationship with old Carl, but also recruit a group of high-quality female employees for him.
And once the criminals who followed these female employees and were responsible for "protecting them" are arrested, Allen's private prison will also usher in a new wave of labor force.
Finally, he could also get a spot in the news and gain a good reputation. The rest was the real business, which was to get to know his colleagues in the medical field in America.
After this trip, Dan Allen has won three times, which is simply a huge win.
The more Allen thought about it, the more excited he became. He had to go back and study the matter, then call old Carl to give him advice and perfect the details of the plan.
He patted the driver's seat and said to Little Stone, "Let's go back if we don't want to watch anymore."
…
In the study, Alan, who had just returned home, was full of energy. After asking the servant to notify a few people to come to his study for a meeting, Alan took out the manuscript paper and immersed himself in writing the plan. He wanted to write out the general framework of the plan while his thoughts were still clear, and after those people arrived, everyone would work together to perfect the details.
…
"Boom boom boom."
As there was a knock on the door, Alan didn't even raise his head. He pressed the switch with his left hand very skillfully, and the study door opened automatically. Seeing Alan's look, Hut slowed down his pace consciously and gestured to the people behind him to come in first and not speak.
After several people sat down quietly, they waited for Alan for more than ten minutes. He suddenly raised his head, took the manuscript in front of him and read it again. With a smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Shitou and said, "Take it to the side and make a few copies."
"yes!"
Xiao Shitou is the youngest person present except Alan, so he is the best person to do this kind of work.
He took the manuscript paper handed over by Alan, turned around and went to the equipment room next door to copy the documents.
…
"Let me tell you first. I asked you to come here today because I need you to help me with a plan. This plan is very important. I came up with it on the way here today. There are some imperfections. Wait until Xiao Shitou finishes copying the documents and comes over. You can all take a look and we can talk about it after you finish reading them."
After Alan finished speaking, he turned his attention to Ceylon. As for this person... Alan recently asked her to be responsible for the early preparations for the Welsh TV Christmas Gala.
"How are the preparations for the TV station's Christmas party going?"
"Master, according to your request, the invitation letters have been sent out in person. I have a lot of invitation letters to send out, and some have not been sent out yet. The company has asked the staff of the small film and television companies to do it."
When Ceylon heard Allen's question, he directly opened the notebook in his hand and repeated it to Allen according to the records on it, looking extremely responsible and professional.
In the Allen family, she is the one who is most familiar with the TV station. This Christmas party is obviously an opportunity for her, and Ceylon attaches great importance to it.
…
"Well...those people are usually so idle, it's time to give them some work to do."
When Alan thought about those scattered film and television companies below, he realized that in order to cheat on the valuation, he acquired a large number of miscellaneous companies, such as county-level media, newspapers, film and television companies on the verge of bankruptcy, etc., distributed in dozens of Commonwealth countries. Without looking at the size, just looking at the scale, the coverage is so wide that it is still scary.
But these companies were just empty shells, with only a few people in each company. Later, Allen sent people from finance to strengthen management, but there was not much actual work. In the past two years, more people were slowly added in, and each company was made to do what it had said when it deceived Sony.
It has all the necessary functions and a wide coverage, but its combat effectiveness is not strong.
Now, Alan is preparing to hold a Christmas party, and this group of people is just right for him. They are all distributed in various Commonwealth countries. No matter how small the scale is, they are local bosses and know a lot of information that Alan does not know, such as which team in which country has the most famous and better performances, which best represent their characteristics, etc.
People outside have different opinions on these things, but the locals have the most say.
Just hand over the task of sending invitations to them. They are familiar with local affairs and know who to send them to. Allen doesn't need to ask anyone to do preliminary research. This saves Allen a lot of time and can greatly speed up the preparations for the party.
In addition... in addition to saving time, there is another benefit. These people are now theoretically considered to be employees of 21st Century Fox (Sony). With their participation, this Christmas party can be considered a large-scale commercial project.
There's no way the people at Sony didn't know about this.
After they found out about it and did some inquiries, they also felt that such an evening party had great prospects!
So... I asked Allen if he could give them some of the investment share of the project. As one of the shareholders of the film and television company, Sony has always been keen on making money and gaining fame.
This was exactly the effect Allen wanted. This kind of party didn't cost much money, but he couldn't tell the people at Sony openly because many people wouldn't cherish free things after getting them.
It's enough like it is now. People are rushing to invest in his project, and Allen "reluctantly" accepted Sony's 20 million US dollars investment.
This money... once it's in his pocket, there's no way it's getting out again.
…
A few minutes later, Little Stone came back with several photocopied documents. He gave a copy to Hut, Old Carl, Ceylon and himself, and handed the originals back to Alan.
"Okay, let's all take a look and discuss it together after we finish watching it."
Alan threw the manuscript aside and looked at them with a smile.
…
"Master, you...are you going to America?"
Hut was the first to finish reading. The first thing he said when he looked up was not about Alan's plan, but about Alan's safety.
In Hut's view, America is a barbarian land. How could his young master, who is worth a lot of money, go to such a place? In addition, there are a lot of people there who are malicious towards his young master. This...
"Haha, I have so many businesses over there, and I've never been there. Now for this plan, let's go and take a look. As for the safety issue, Old Carl?!"
"Master! Don't worry, anyone who dares to harm you will have to step over my dead body."
"Alright, alright...you will be responsible for my safety during my trip to America this time."
Huth looked at Old Carl and Allen. The two of them were in unison and had even confirmed the itinerary. He opened his mouth and advised: "Master... this plan is too hasty. Shouldn't we improve it first? You don't have to be so anxious..."
Hut felt that Allen's current business was already quite large. Compared to making money, he hoped that Allen could get married sooner and add some new members to the Hill family sooner. This was the top priority. As for making money...
The people of the Hill family are still worried about making money. When they are really desperate, the young master can still rob!
…
"I know the plan isn't perfect yet, so... now it's up to you to help me perfect it."
Alan glanced at Huth and pointed at the copy in his hand.
"Okay...let me say a few words first."
Seeing that Alan was determined to go to America and unable to persuade him, Hutt could only help the young master perfect his plan to make it foolproof.
"Master... this idea of inviting distributors, manufacturers and doctors from the American pharmaceutical industry is fine, but there are so many people. We don't have the channels to get to know so many people, right?"
Hutt got straight to the point. Allen had a good idea, inviting hundreds of people to hold a banquet, but where should he invite these people? They didn't know Allen. Should he put an advertisement in the newspaper?
Moreover, this plan seemed like a quick victory type, the goal was to be fast, and it did not leave them much time to prepare. Where to find so many guests to attend the banquet in such a short period of time? This was a big problem.
"Hutt... I understand what the young master means. Our medicine is somewhat special and is suitable for a very special group of people. However... if we are in Los Angeles, there is a specific group of people who need our medicine."
Old Carl took over Hut's words and explained on behalf of Allen without waiting for his explanation.
"Oh? There are people like this in Los Angeles?"
Hut was not very familiar with that place, but looking at old Carl and thinking about what he said, Hut understood it instantly.
"You mean those actors and celebrities who live in Los Angeles? I heard that their private lives are messy. Are these people the first customers of the drug?"
"Yes, that's the people. I know them all to some extent. Some of them have even met me. I am very familiar with their situations. The young master only said to hire so many people, but he didn't mention the scope of the people. As far as I know, there are more than a few hundred private doctors in Los Angeles alone. Some of the big and small stars have their own private doctor, while others share one private doctor. This is our entry point."
"Hmm..." Hut's frown relaxed after hearing what Old Carl said. As long as he could hire someone who knew the details, then Alan's safety, which he was worried about, would be guaranteed to a certain extent.
"I'm not familiar with Los Angeles for other details, but if the young master is going to America this time, the security personnel must be brought over from home. You also need to send a group of people from your side. You can't just use people from one place."
"Haha, don't worry, Huth, I'll listen to you on this." Old Carl knew that he could not refute on this matter. It was related to Allen's safety, and even he didn't dare to joke. Huth asked him to bring people from home, and he didn't dare to refute at all.
