Chapter 378 Chapter 376: Undefeated Lion (Additional Chapter 9)
For some people, when they are around, you get used to it and don't think anything of it.
But if he were gone, or taking a short break, you would feel his importance.
That's what old Hoover is like!
Roy's management model has always been decentralization and manager accountability.
He simply selected knowledgeable and loyal people, threw the job out to them, and let them take full responsibility.
This doesn't mean that he will just ignore it, but rather that he will formulate policies and plans, let managers fully understand them, and then let them do it.
The advantage of this is that these direct managers have enough power to basically have the final say and have the power of life and death.
As long as their words are effective, all policies can be implemented in the shortest possible time and no one dares to disobey them.
Of course, too much power can also make people easily arrogant. Once they are used to having their say, they will not listen to other people's opinions.
If one has selfish motives, it is easy to engage in corruption, accept bribes, and abuse power for personal gain.
In response to this, Roy did two things: one was to increase salaries and even give dividends based on options.
Only when they have more regular income will they hesitate when faced with bribes, consider the consequences, and stick to their original intentions.
Compared to what Luo Yi gave them, these bribes were nothing, so they would naturally refuse them.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Secondly, there are the secret agents and spies led by Ang, who are placed around countless people to report information.
Many things they did would appear on Roy's desk the next day.
Luo Yi never cares about face. I will criticize you when necessary and talk things out before I can continue to use you.
This management model was designed by Deep Blue and explored by Luo Yi in practice. It is most suitable for the current situation and also most suitable for him.
Of course, this is definitely not because he can just throw things away to the greatest extent possible and let others do them, so he can be lazy!
It's impossible for him to be lazy. He is very busy every day, okay?!
This management model also resulted in the supervisors under him having numerous tasks and heavy responsibilities, and they were busy every day without any rest.
For example, Maruna is responsible for the production of the magic energy factory, Lord Xike Cruz is responsible for infrastructure, Mira Greenman is responsible for the finances of the magic energy industry, Grand Knight Thor Dean is responsible for the operation of the Siren Port, and so on...
As for Butler Hoover, he was responsible for three main areas.
One is the original industry of Flower Territory, such as perfume making, gold exchange, grain planting and taxation.
You have to admit that some of these traditional industries have been eroded by the magic industry, such as shipping and the Lion Caravan, as well as land expropriation and mining.
Basically, they are all classified into the system of magic energy industry, but even if it is reduced, its scale is still not small, and the annual income it brings is also considerable.
Second, the daily management of Lion Manor, as well as the reception of VIPs and hosting of banquets.
This part may seem easy, but it is actually quite complicated, especially when hosting banquets and entertaining guests, there cannot be any mistakes.
That would be a loss of face for the Raymond family and would also be the greatest test of the butler's ability.
Third, Butler Hoover is the person closest to Loy, and many of Loy's matters require him to convey and arrange.
It can be said that he is also a bridge of communication between Luo Yi and others, playing a connecting role.
The importance of this is beyond doubt.
Just any one of the above three points can keep people busy every day.
But Butler Hoover not only accepted all of them, but also arranged them in an orderly manner without any mistakes.
However, coupled with the wedding, he was really exhausted, and his tense nerves could no longer bear it after the wedding.
Fortunately, he was just tired and there was nothing serious wrong with his body. He just needed to have a good rest for a while.
But even so, he arranged his own affairs properly, divided them into three parts, and let three people be responsible for them.
What Mira Greenman actually does is to deliver commands and provide feedback, acting as a bridge of communication.
Although Mrs. Linda also prescribed a potion, Luo Yi was still a little worried when he saw it. After thinking about it, he took out a drop of "Isis Wine Spring".
It would be a waste to use this kind of rare item to restore fighting spirit. The vitality contained in it is most suitable for making up for the deficiency in the body.
Unless one is like Oliveira, who has lost his original essence, otherwise, it can be slowly repaired.
However, although Butler Hoover had also practiced breathing techniques, it was at most to strengthen his body, and it was impossible for him to quickly digest a whole drop of "Isis Wine Spring".
This requires Mrs. Linda to help prepare a liquid medicine, then add the 'Isis Wine Spring' and dilute it directly.
Drink a little every day and use it up in a month to adjust your body to the best condition.
Of course, this "best" refers to the best human body functions at this stage, and it is impossible to return to youth.
Then there is the work that Butler Hoover is responsible for. Loy repeatedly asked him to train new people.
Orderly inheritance means that subsequent talent training must keep up. As for the specific candidates, let Butler Hoover consider it himself.
When I came out of Butler Hoover's room, Mira was already waiting.
Brussels is a small city, but the news has been delivered and the people who need to be summoned have arrived one after another.
Luo Yi led Mira to the study first, took some things, then went to the Mage Tower, called out Lilia, and went to the meeting hall.
The meeting hall now no longer has the coldness it once had, but is now bright and clear under the magic crystal lamps.
At this time, those who were close had already arrived, such as Iron Knight Phil, Flame Sword Saint Otto, Oliveira and Ange.
Luo Yi made it clear that he was going to hold a meeting in the conference hall, and it would not be a small core meeting, and the discussion would also be about major issues concerning the future of the entire Flower Territory.
Therefore, even several natural disasters who were in cultivation were present.
In fact, such meetings must have corresponding meeting minutes.
Even if there are supervisors who are not here, a copy must be sent over to let them know.
For example, Ms. Palacios who is unlikely to return, Grand Knight Thor, and Captain Walter of the magic warship floating on the sea.
Further behind, Lien Vasquez, the Chief of Police of Brussels and the head of security of the Magic Energy Factory, came hurriedly, followed by Maruna and Lord Shik Cruz.
Coincidentally, Lord Hick Chris had rushed back because of the city construction and happened to run into him.
Behind them were the Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke, who was the farthest away, Vincent Ackerman, and two extraordinary strong men, Cody Isaac and Tanya Anderson.
The others all have their own tasks and are not in Brussels.
As for Lance Wells, he was sent by Roy to the city of Auxerre to be in charge of those technical staff who were away.
Gradually, everyone arrived. Everyone was familiar with each other and was talking to each other, making a lot of noise.
They were also wondering, wondering what important matter the Earl had to discuss by summoning them with such fanfare?
It was not until Luo Yi helped Lilia in that their voices gradually disappeared, and they stood up with a "clatter".
Luo Yi led Lilia to sit at the top, then waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and then Mira distributed the secret letters he brought with him for everyone to circulate.
After a while, the sound of rustling and whispering of books could be heard. Everyone was talking to each other. Some frowned, some understood, and some looked puzzled.
Luo Yi ignored them and let them discuss until everyone had finished reading the letter. Then he patted the table and asked everyone to be quiet.
At this time, he said: "You should have heard about what happened in Sara City.
What I have here is the latest and most accurate information."
"The Crown Prince of the Habsburg Empire is dead. This is unbelievable, but it is the truth!
Now, I want to hear your opinions?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Luo Yi waited for a moment, and seeing that no one spoke, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked around and finally locked onto one person.
Then he said, "Grand Knight Commander Alfonso, you come first?"
Alfonso stood up, frowning slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
It was not until Luo Yi’s gaze urged him that he said, “My Lord Earl, the Crown Prince is dead, and I know it is a huge matter.
But what does that have to do with us?"
Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this. His eyes moved, and he looked at the others and asked, "Do you think the same thing?"
So everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Flame Sword Saint Otto stood up and said, "My Lord Count, the Crown Prince died in Sara City. Shouldn't it be the nobles of Bosnia Province who have to face the wrath of the Habsburg Empire?
And the Serb Restoration Front will probably suffer a devastating blow!"
"The Empire has never been easy to talk to, and many people will indeed die, but this has little to do with us, right?"
Iron Knight Phil took over the conversation: "We are in the northwest of the empire, while the Bosnia Province and Sara City are in the southeast corner of the empire. Even if there is a liquidation, it will not affect us.
Moreover, the empire only lost a crown prince, and the great Hohenzollern III had many sons.
Even if they were taking their anger out on us, why couldn't they pin it on us?!"
Luo Yi finally understood that this might be the difference in thinking. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Then have you ever thought about whether Bosnia alone can calm the wrath of the empire?
Will they continue to investigate further and catch the person behind the scenes, such as the Bonaparte Empire?"
"If, and I mean if, the Bonaparte Empire and the Habsburg Empire were to fight, do you think we could just sit back and watch?
Will they also be dragged into this war?"
"This... shouldn't be possible?!"
This was Maruna's answer. Although his voice was very low, everyone in the conference hall had good hearing and could hear it clearly.
His words actually represent everyone's thoughts.
Luo Yi knew that persuasion was useless, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and said directly: "Who knows what will happen in the future?
However, even if there is only a slight possibility, we must take it seriously. We cannot afford to take the risk! "
“Therefore, I announce that the force will be expanded to 3,000 people, using the 1,000 professional soldiers we trained previously as the backbone.
Including the Knights of the Lion, all knights who have completed retraining will be incorporated into this legion."
"I call it the First Royal Guards Corps of Flower Territory, designation: The Undefeated Lions!"
"You may not understand it very well, but you don't need to understand it. Just execute it."
"yes!"
There are two more updates to come!
