Seeing Fang Lang's serious look, Zolph Henry also responded directly with a serious face:
"Sir, I don't need time to think about it. Your request is nothing to me, and it is not difficult for me to do this. Please rest assured that I will cherish this job opportunity."
Fang Lang was a little surprised to hear Zolph Henry's answer without hesitation. He looked up and down at this middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo carefully for a while.
Qi Qingshan on the side also put his hand on the holster at his waist and looked the other person carefully, with a strong scrutiny in his eyes.
But Zolfo Henry seemed unaware of it and looked calm, looking at Fang Lang with firm eyes.
Seeing this, Fang Lang stopped talking and just laughed and nodded:
"Okay, in that case, you will be in charge of my art investment project from now on. I also highly approve of the three artists you recommended to me.
But they are far away in China, and China is currently in the midst of war. How and where to purchase their works depends on your ability!"
Fang Lang's statement meant that Zolph Henry was officially accepted by Fang Lang and became someone close to him.
...
...
Qi Qingshan on the side lowered his hand from his waist and reached out to the other party. His serious expression became much more casual. He smiled at Zolfo Henry and introduced himself:
"Hello, Butler Henry! I'm the boss's adjutant, and it's a pleasure to work with you."
Zolf Henry seemed very calm about this, and he was not surprised by honor or disgrace. He just smiled and nodded at Qi Qingshan, stretched out his hand and shook it with Qi Qingshan, and said politely:
"Hello, Commander Qi! It is my honor to work with you. Please take care of me in the future!"
Fang Lang just smiled when he saw this and said directly:
"Okay, now please let Zorf take me around my new home!"
Upon hearing this, Zolph Henry bowed slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Fang Lang, making a guiding gesture and politely said:
"Sir, please follow me!"
Next, Fang Lang, accompanied by Qi Qingshan, continued to visit this large estate of 2,000 acres. One acre is approximately equal to 6.07 mu.
In other words, the area of this manor is more than 12,000 acres. It is obviously impossible to visit such a large area all at once, so everyone mainly visited the main buildings in the manor today.
It is a circular building with more than one hundred rooms. There are two banquet halls that can accommodate more than two hundred people for banquets. The roof is carved with magnificent murals, most of which are in the religious painting style of the European Renaissance. As for who completed them, Zolph Henry is not sure.
But Fang Lang could see that the other party also recognized the painting skills. Although Fang Lang did not like this religious painting style, he did not hate it either.
After all, this is in line with mainstream Western values. If you want to integrate into this circle, you must learn to accept it. You must know that Westerners generally believe in religion, and they are wary of people who have no religious beliefs.
Westerners are even more cautious when dealing with atheists like Fang Lang who worship all kinds of gods, and are even more cautious than when dealing with pagans.
Therefore, Fang Lang never let others know that he is an atheist.
What's more, in these Western religious paintings, there are often some female warriors with bare breasts. When Fang Lang was visiting, he couldn't help but envy the strong physique of these warriors and would unconsciously take a few more glances.
In addition to the huge banquet hall, there are also luxurious master bedrooms, elderly rooms and children's rooms.
Even all the guest rooms are decorated like a five-star hotel, with each room equipped with a bathroom, or like the current commercial housing, with several three-bedroom, two-living-room and four-bedroom, two-living-room rooms.
This is absolutely not found in old-fashioned manors.
The master bedroom was nearly 100 square meters in size, and the luxurious toilet and bathroom gave Fang Lang the illusion of traveling through time and space. What shocked Fang Lang the most was that the faucets in the master bedroom's toilet were made of pure gold.
The floor of the room was covered with soft Persian carpets. These luxurious decorations were something Fang Lang could never have imagined in his previous life. After visiting such a luxurious manor, Fang Lang was secretly amazed.
He couldn't imagine the identity of the French businessman who built this manor, and how much money he invested in creating this luxurious palace-like building.
It’s a pity that all of this belongs to Fang Lang now. I wonder how reluctant he must be.
None of this had anything to do with Fang Lang. All he knew now was that he was very satisfied with it all.
Standing in a huge banquet hall, Fang Lang suddenly spoke to Zorf Henry, who had been introducing the manor:
"Zorf, if I want to hold a banquet here, how long will it take you to prepare?"
The butler, who was introducing the company nonstop, was startled when he heard this. After a brief thought, he asked softly:
"Sir, I wonder how big a banquet you are planning to organize?"
Fang Lang, who had never held a banquet before, had no idea about this. He thought for a while before saying uncertainly:
“There should be more than 200 people!”
Seeing that Fang Lang was not sure, the professional Zorf Henry asked directly:
"I wonder what the purpose of hosting this banquet is, sir, and who are the main guests invited?
You can give me a general direction, and I will take care of the rest!"
Fang Lang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, not knowing whether he should speak out his thoughts. However, he changed his mind and realized that he had just told Zorf Henry that he wanted him to be his lifelong butler. It would be inappropriate to hide anything from him at this time. Therefore, he did not hesitate and spoke directly:
“The guests are mainly business owners who have business dealings with our company. In addition, I heard that our neighbor not far away is the Rockefeller family, right?
If so, please try your best to send the invitation to the banquet to the other party. I want to make friends with the Rockefeller family."
These words made Zolf Henry stunned. There are people all over the United States who want to make friends with the Rockefeller family. They will not come to your party and make friends with you just because of your invitation.
This request was obviously beyond Zorf Henry's ability, which made him look embarrassed.
Fang Lang asked with some doubt:
"Any questions?"
Zolph Henry was afraid that Fang Lang would doubt his ability to work, so he quickly said:
"Sir, it's very easy to host a banquet for 200 people, but it may be difficult to invite the Rockefeller family to attend the banquet."
"Oh! Why? Don't the Rockefellers come to the party?"
Fang Lang didn't react for a moment and continued to ask with a puzzled look on his face.
Zolph Henry's expression became even more awkward. He looked at Fang Lang with a strange expression and said:
"Sir, the Rockefeller family is one of the largest families in the United States. Not everyone will invite them to a banquet."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang understood what he meant. He immediately slapped his forehead and laughed:
"Haha...Zorf, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you invite the other party, I guarantee that they will definitely attend.
You should know that one of my business partners is the Morgan family. I will invite the patriarch of the Morgan family and the chairman of Morgan Company to participate.
I believe that the Morgans will give me this favor and arrive on time for the appointment."
Zolph Henry's eyes widened when he heard this. He looked at his young new master in disbelief and asked uncertainly:
"Are you serious, sir? Will you invite Mr. Morgan to your party?"
Seeing that the British butler who had always behaved very gentlemanly finally showed a surprised expression, Fang Lang said nonchalantly:
"Zolf, this is not surprising. I came to the United States this time at the invitation of the Morgan family. There is nothing surprising about holding a banquet and inviting the Morgan family to attend.
In the future, you will see more important people, and maybe one day even the President will come to the banquet I host.
So you should stay calm. Just do your job.”
Hearing this, Zorf Henry took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then nodded firmly.
"Yes sir, I think I'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Please rest assured that if the guests of our banquet are a big family like the Morgan family, I will personally go to your door and persuade the Rockefeller family to send someone of the right status to attend your banquet. "
Obviously, Zolph Henry now felt very confident and his back straightened a little. It turned out that he knew that Fang Lang was the boss of Global Group and also knew the scale of Global Group.
However, he did not have a deeper understanding of the Global Group. Not long after the manor was acquired by the Global Group, Fang Lang, the owner, came to the manor.
This prevented him from learning more about the company's specific situation.
Now that he knew his boss had close ties with the Morgan Consortium, the largest financial group in the United States, he had to start re-examining his new job.
At least in terms of strength, the new boss is definitely much stronger than the old boss. This is obviously inconsistent with the original information that the new boss is a Brazilian soldier.
No wonder my boss repeatedly emphasized to me the importance of loyalty. Now it seems that I must be more cautious in this job.
Fang Lang didn't think too much about it. He believed that even if he didn't invite the Morgan family this time, as long as he sent an invitation to the Rockefeller family, they would definitely send someone of the right status to attend the banquet.
After all, a family like the Rockefellers could not possibly be unaware that they were also one of the participants in the European rescue plan. If a small consortium like theirs, which had always only interacted with the Morgan family, suddenly held a banquet and extended an invitation to the Rockefeller family, it would certainly attract the Rockefeller family's high attention.
This situation is most likely a signal, a signal of goodwill from Fang Lang to the Rockefeller family.
Seeing that Zolph Henry had regained his original gentlemanly demeanor, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask:
"How long does it take you to prepare for such a banquet?"
"One week, sir, please give me a week, and I promise to give you a perfect banquet."
Zolph Henry said confidently and firmly.
But this time obviously did not satisfy Fang Lang. Coming from a military background, Fang Lang did not want to waste time talking to him. He stretched out five fingers without hesitation and said:
“You only have five days. My time is very tight. I hope you can complete all the preparations for this banquet within five days.
At the same time, this is also a test of your work ability, and I hope you won’t let me down.”
In fact, if you want to prepare such a large-scale banquet, one week is definitely not enough. After all, with a scale of one or two hundred people, there is not enough time just to prepare and print the invitations and distribute them.
But Fang Lang's words still forced Zorf Henry to bite the bullet and agree. After all, this was a rare opportunity to prove his ability in front of his new boss.
"Yes, sir, five days is five days. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction.
Fortunately, the introduction of the entire manor was over. After Zolph Henry sent Fang Lang back to the master room to rest, he began to prepare without stopping.
Fang Lang was a little tired after the battle of wits and strength with Morgan, so he went straight to rest in the big room of the manor. Lying on the wide bed, Fang Lang suddenly felt as if something was missing.
After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the bedside phone and called Lilith, who had returned to Boston for classes, inviting her to visit his new estate and warm his bed.
Of course, he also mentioned the banquet five days later and suggested that he could invite some of his friends to attend.
Lilith was overjoyed when she heard the news. She asked Fang Lang for five invitations and asked him to send a car to pick her up immediately.
Fang Lang was naturally very satisfied with his girlfriend's positive attitude. He directly asked the butler to arrange someone to take a few guards to Boston to pick up his girlfriend.
Then he remembered his promise to Vivian to go to France with her. If he took Lilith alone again, Vivian might get angry.
He could only send another telegram to Vivian who was far away in France.
After finishing everything, I lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
As for the other people in the manor, they were not so lucky. Following an order from the butler, Mr. Zolph Henry, the servants in the entire manor began to work busily.
Especially when the butler reminded everyone not too cryptically that the VIP guests coming this time were very important, although everyone had not found out who would attend, they had to take it seriously.
After all, the enthusiasm and positivity shown by Zolf Henry was the first time they had seen it in all the time they had worked together, and everyone couldn't help but become curious about what kind of banquet this would be.
Due to the tight time schedule and heavy tasks, Zolf Henry even had to seek help from Qi Qingshan, and Qi Qingshan, who participated in the entire visit, did not refuse.
While arranging personnel to help the butler, we also stepped up efforts to upgrade the security measures in the manor.
With so many big shots coming to the boss's manor to attend the banquet, the pressure of the security mission was enormous, so everyone began to act nervously because of Fang Lang's sudden idea.
