British 1986

Why are you here for inspection?

Of course it is investment. These days, when foreigners come to inspect, it is usually a precursor to investment. Moreover, this person has already invested in domestic industries and invested very early.

It happened to be the opening of the second batch of cities. According to the information I knew, the noble mainly invested and built factories in the south, and he was also engaged in a seemingly ordinary manufacturing industry.

But this time when there was a flood, this person's industrial advantages were fully demonstrated.

For example, the radios he produced were originally in this era, radios were almost at the end of their development, and few people used them anymore. Except in remote mountainous areas, there were still people who liked these things.

People in the city are now pursuing television, even if it is not a color television, at least they must pursue a black and white television. It is better for this person to directly reverse the course of history and invest in the production of somewhat backward radios.

But once their finished products were put on the market, people knew for the first time what the so-called "industrial design" and "British aristocratic style" were.

It is also a radio. The radios produced by others not only have good signals and are durable, but the most important thing is that they look good and show high quality. However, some old-fashioned and older people do not like the flashy TVs nowadays, so they just I really like this kind of radio that is not cheap. To some people, this thing is actually very popular.

But this time when there was a flood, the radio came in handy. The TV might be out of power, but the radio would work just as well if the batteries were plugged in. And because of its good quality and strong ability to receive signals, it was a big help. .

Not to mention other things, just for his two factories, in Menxia City in the south, they have an entire industrial zone to themselves, surrounded by open space for their future development, and they receive very preferential treatment.

This time, Secretary Zhang led a team to deliver relief supplies. Just looking at what they did, you can feel that this group of people is very interesting.

Theoretically, if they choose Menxia City as their base, they can not only have the help of their own factory manpower, but also have high-standard local reception, and the transportation of materials to Menxia Port will be correspondingly closer.

But they did not go to Menxia City. Instead, they went some distance north and chose Shanghai as their base. It was closer to the disaster area but not the front line. In addition, Shanghai was also a large port and convenient for transportation. supplies.

Recently, Secretary Zhang was sitting in the hotel, directing the unloading of cargo ships delivering goods from the outside world. This was the first time for many people in the disaster area to see novelties such as cans and ginger candies with foreign languages.

And the five million pounds in cash she brought was a big help.

As soon as the donated money was received, the leader was very sensible and reported it.

This is real foreign currency cash, which can be used for other purposes than disaster relief. After the money is handed over to the above, the equivalent amount of Chinese dollars is returned, which can also be used for purchases. supplies.

Looking at it this way, it seems like a simple exchange of foreign exchange, but in fact.

Now based on the official exchange rate, most people cannot exchange foreign exchange at all. Do they really want to exchange it?

Need more money!

So, although five million pounds may not seem like too much, as long as it is used in the right place, it is definitely not a small amount!

Now, when meeting such a wealthy man with state-owned investment in China and generousness, the leader will definitely be moved. When he heard that there will be an inspection team later, he quickly arranged for someone to take advantage of the opportunity of these foreigners to celebrate Christmas and come over to celebrate them. By the way, I asked Zhang Xin to have a look.

For an investor like this who has money, status, and quality, the current team leader is still Chinese. If he doesn't try to win favor now, then when will he wait?

After listening to the leader's words, Zhang Xin glanced at the so-called Pete without leaving any trace. These silly foreigners sometimes don't have a clue to keep their mouth shut and talk about everything without any sense of confidentiality. This is what they did a few days ago. When we were chatting in person, we started talking about something about Wales, and it was easy to talk about it. It had only been a few days, but outsiders already knew about it.

"Boss, this matter has not been confirmed yet. I just heard this when I was on the phone with the housekeeper a few days ago. I didn't expect that you would find out about it just by chatting with my colleagues."

"Haha. Are you still not sure? Why not consider us? Shanghai is also one of the traditional first choice places for foreign investment. Now Pudong is being developed. I think based on what your boss has done, as long as he wants to invest in us , you will definitely receive the best treatment.”

The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face reluctantly recommended himself again. He didn't want to miss this opportunity and really let him go. If the time comes and he goes to Menxia City to continue to invest again, he won't be reconciled!

There is no shortage of foreign investment in Shanghai, but there is a shortage of high-end, well-known foreign investment. They no longer pursue quantity, but have begun to pursue quality!

Zhang Xin frowned. She shouldn't have to worry about these things. Every place has its own rules. In China, with human relations, everything is easy to handle, but outside, it's like Wales. Although it is about human relations, it is also about class and status. For example, Zhang Xin's current identity is the management of the assistance team. She is not responsible for other things. If she talks too much or manages too much, she is afraid of overstepping!

But the leader in front of him, looking at him like this, if he didn't say anything, he would probably have to pester him and keep asking questions today. Thinking of this, Zhang Xin narrowed his eyes and said with a gentle smile: "Leader, that's it. Yes, when we go out, the first priority is to complete the tasks assigned to us by the boss, and pay attention to a clear division of labor. There are some things that are not my responsibility. I can’t say more, but..."

After a long pronunciation, Zhang Xin broke the news: "Some time ago, our boss's territory passed the review of Congress, and there have been new changes. From the previous county-based unit, it was dispersed into several small cities. The conventional management model has become the current single management area.”

"Single management area?" The Chinese-faced leader looked a little confused.

In order to fear that the leader would not understand, Zhang Xin carefully explained the specific meaning of the single management area.

"For you, it can also be understood as your municipality, but Carmarthen is a municipality at the county level. It can also be regarded as a county directly under the central government. It has great autonomy and can have its own county council."

When Zhang Xin said this, the leader with the Chinese character face immediately understood, and he became even more interested in this so-called inspection team. The previous one was private investment. Will this inspection team be sent in the name of this so-called county level? As this level goes up, the scale of investment projects will definitely be larger!

"Ms. Zhang, can you?"

The leader with a Chinese character said a few words tentatively, but everyone understood the meaning behind his words.

"Leader, I will lead the team back next month. Our boss will be on a business trip in February. I can only wait until I go back to give you a message. I can't go beyond the rest."

"Haha. Thank you first, Ms. Zhang. I'll toast you."

After listening to Zhang Xin's words, the leader with the Chinese character's face saw that his goal was finally achieved. He was so happy that he raised his glass and toasted Zhang Xin again.

December 26, 1991 at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Allen walked on the playground in front of the manor and looked at the newly cut red pine used as a Christmas tree.

This year the red pine was cut down to be particularly large. Except for the part buried in the ground, the exposed trunk is about thirty meters high.

Ordinary people, even if they want to build a Christmas tree, at most buy a plastic one, take it out once a year and put it in the living room.

But Allen insisted on cutting down new trees every year, and it was a one-time use, and he would chop them down for firewood after use. This thing could grow to more than thirty meters, and it must be more than ten years old. He said that he could just cut it down. If you chop it down, it will look impressive. At least standing outside the manor, you can see the tip of the Christmas tree from a distance.

As soon as Spencer got out of the car, he saw Allen standing in a daze under his extremely exaggerated and garishly decorated Christmas tree.

"Hey! What's wrong? Are you ready to run away when you see me coming?"

It was Allen who took the initiative to date his uncle today, and it happened that Spencer also wanted to date Allen. Anyway, it was such a coincidence that the two of them made an appointment today, and the meeting place was Allen's place.

"Why should I run? Humph!"

Seeing that Spencer was not in a formal position, Allen picked up the small bag under his arm and threw it directly to Spencer.

"Hey? What is it?"

Spencer subconsciously took the small bag thrown by Allen. It was really small, about the size of a palm, and thin. When he opened the bag, there were several bank cards from different banks, six in total, besides Besides, there is a key.

"Money! There are 20 million pounds in each ticket. I collected the whole amount for you."

Allen put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the Christmas tree again. There were still many gifts on it that were not taken. It was not that no one wanted them, but that each person could only take two at most. Allen hoped that one day he would erect them at home. When the new Christmas tree was put up, all the gifts on the tree were taken away. At that time, it proved that there were more servants in the house!

"What about this key?"

Spencer looked at this ordinary key and thought it was some small gift that Allen had put for him in a safe in the bank.

"Didn't I hear that you are getting married soon? This is a house given to you. It's not big and the location is better."

"oh?"

Seeing what Allen said, Spencer became obviously interested. He stuffed the keys and bank card back into his bag, walked to Allen, put his arm around Allen's shoulders and said, "The location is better? Where is it? You don't know how. Prepare a room for me in Buckingham Palace?"

"I really got it for you, do you dare to live there?"

Allen glanced at this bastard, who dared to talk about anything.

He asked Gerald for this house. Allen didn't ask for the specific price. The main reason was that the house was not too big. It was only a two-story building, totaling just over 100 square meters.

"But it's not too far from Buckingham Palace. This is a house in Mayfair. Consider this my wedding gift to you. Is that enough?"

"What? The house in Mayfair? The Rothschild place?"

When Spencer heard Allen's words, his face turned red instantly, not from shyness, but from excitement!

In some novels and literary works, the Rothschild family has always been written about as mysterious, and it is said that they are very evil and powerful.

But in fact, they are a large family with a large distribution area, but the family living in Great Britain is indeed very rich, but the title is just that, baron.

In addition, their family's status is not very good. They have money, but they have never been able to integrate into the real aristocratic circle.

However, this Mayfair refers to an area in central London. The two largest landowners in this area are one of the Rothschild family and the other is of course the Duke of Sweetwater.

This area of ​​Mayfair is the so-called aristocratic area, a truly high-end upper-class area. It is adjacent to Buckingham Palace in the south. To put it bluntly, it is the root of the imperial city.

Bordering Hyde Park to the west and Oxford Street to the north, there are only three three-star Michelin restaurants in London, including two in Mayfair.

How could Spencer not be excited to get a small house in such a prime location?

"Hahaha! Thank you, Allen, you made me embarrassed to say the next words."

Spencer excitedly gave Allen a big hug, then rubbed his hands shyly, and before Allen could refuse, he started to make another small request.

"I heard that you have a French director here. Can you give him a small favor?"

"Um?"

Why did you suddenly mention the French director, Luc Besson?

"What are you looking for him for?"

"Well, I want to go to France for a vacation and prepare to hold a bachelor party at the same time. Aren't I looking for some French female stars? I heard that your French director is quite famous, so I asked him to help with the arrangements."

Spencer raised his eyebrows and made an expression that every man would understand.

"."

This idiot, it’s all in vain that he was so kind to him, he gave him money, and gave him a house, but he didn’t even call himself during the bank deposit party. Now he needs to find someone, so he thinks of himself?

Allen squinted his eyes and stared at Spencer until he saw Spencer raising his hands and saying: "Okay. I admit, I didn't want to call you at first, but that's because I called you before. I’m not happy to participate. Do you want to come this time?”

Spencer was a little aggrieved. As aristocratic children, it is normal for people of their age to live and drink. Unlike Allen, who likes to play by himself. I have called him before, but Allen is not willing to go. His character is inherently Boring, if things go on like this, Spencer takes the initiative to ignore Allen every time. Unexpectedly, this time, this guy actually seems a little interested?

"Okay, I'll help you make arrangements. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back."

Allen didn't want to talk so much to this uncle, it wasn't interesting enough!

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet. I'll tell you the good news quietly."

Allen stopped and raised his chin slightly. He thought Spencer was going to tell him about his marriage partner. Who knew Spencer's next words almost made Allen lose his position.

"I'm about to inherit the title, and my father is seriously ill and is about to die!"

Spencer spoke and winked at Allen, as if this was a normal and ordinary thing.

"???"

What the hell is this good news?

Your dad is dying, but you still want to have a bachelor party?

Damn it

Allen's mouth twitched, a little confused about this guy's brain circuit.

"No. In this case, are you going on vacation?"
