money trouble

Chapter 271

The history of stewardship is longer than that of the British aristocracy. They were not born aristocrats, but became teachers of aristocrats.

More often, the employer will treat the housekeeper as a family member, and the housekeeper will also shoulder the responsibility of teaching the minor masters various etiquette and rules, and the relationship between the two will naturally be very deep over time.

Alfred Pennyworth in "Batman" has been the butler of the Wayne family since Thomas Wayne.After Thomas and his wife were killed, he raised "Batman" Bruce alone and was Bruce's most trusted person.He is Batman's mentor and friend, guarding and caring for Batman like a father, and accompanying Bruce Wayne to walk out of the shadow of childhood.

In "Downton Abbey", Mr. Carson has built a deep relationship and trust with the Grantham family through his 30-year career as a housekeeper. He regards the dignity of the family as his own dignity, and also takes the family's sorrows and joys as his own sorrow. Hi, even though as a member of the servant world, he couldn't bridge the gap between classes, he was still treated like family by the members of this family.

"It's better for the bodyguard to take orders directly from me..." Wu Qian thought to himself, although loyalty is a necessary label for a housekeeper, but Wu Qian still feels uneasy when the job of bodyguard is entrusted to others.

Adams didn't know what Wu Qian was thinking, he still smiled and explained: "The butlers trained by our International Butler Academy know how to taste wine, equestrianism, maintain crystal silverware, manage guns, collect cigars, maintain jewelry, maintain luxury cars, and do emergency rescue. , know basic defensive skills, show meticulous etiquette everywhere in life, full of solemn sense of ritual..."

At this time, the butler academy's training in arranging the tableware was over, and the training in serving the dishes began.

Every point of strength and every movement must be mastered like a fire. It is not allowed to be higher or lower, not to be passed, and not to be passed...Extremely strict, day after day, year after year It is really rare to be meticulous year after year.

"Mr. Wu, the English-style butler represents the ultimate in service. Let me give you an example. An ordinary maid who cleans the room only cares about whether the house is tidy. No dust is her ultimate, while the English-style butler will consider Artwork placement throughout the room, reasonable color matching or different aromatherapy according to the season, etc.”

"For another example, ordinary servants will simply place napkins, but housekeepers will prepare napkins of different sizes according to different dining situations, 17-20 feet for lunch, 12 feet for afternoon tea, 26 feet for dinner, and 6 feet for cocktail parties. 9-[-] feet. The length of the dinner candles, the number of flowers, and the brightness of the lights are strictly checked by the housekeeper."

"Improving the quality of life of the employer and allowing the employer to gain 'value-added' in the limited time, this is the ultimate service of the British butler."

Wu Qian nodded slightly. He could tell from the seriousness of the butler trainees who were training that it was unusual. Studying as a butler student was not free, and he needed to ask for a large sum of money. With absolute love, I really can't do this job.

"Adams, give me a recommendation, I want the best students from you here."

Adams bowed slightly and led Wu Qian towards the office. He smiled apologetically and asked, "Mr. Wu, I need to get some general information about you, such as the general situation of your assets..."

Wu Qian was a little stunned. Do you still need to look at assets to recommend a housekeeper? Seeing this, the housekeepers hired by millionaires, tens of millions, and billionaires are not the same?

Naturally, it is different. No matter what, everything will be divided into three or six grades. According to the requirements of the National Butler Academy, the British butler who graduated according to the requirements of the National Butler Academy has a minimum annual salary of 3 pounds, and if it is a top-level butler, there will be many additional courses. It will rise to 15-20 pounds.

If it weren't for the wealth of assets, it would be impossible to hire a butler of that level.If the assets do not reach a certain level, there is no need to hire a top-level butler, because many "functions" will be left unused.

"How much assets do you need to hire the highest-level butler here?" Wu Qian asked back.

"Mr. Wu, don't get me wrong, because the salary of the top housekeeper is quite high, that's why I asked this question, it's definitely not looking down on you. Top housekeepers are usually only willing to hire rich people with assets over [-] million."

Adams said that he was very particular about his wording, using subjective words like "willing", and didn't want Wu Qian to misunderstand anything.

Wu Qian thought it was because of special requirements on family inheritance, if only wealth was required, it would be easy to handle.

"A few days ago at Sotheby's Western Art auction, there was a castle with a sky-high price. Have you heard of it? The owner of that castle is me." Wu Qian said flatly.

While talking, Wu Qian showed the other party the digital version of the auction records on his mobile phone.

In the eyes of outsiders, they may think that Wu Qian is pretending to be coercive, but if you look at Wu Qian's current total assets, this way of expression is the most reserved.

Adams was shocked when he heard Wu Qian's words. How could he not know about such a big news? The news was published in every major newspaper in the UK, and there were related reports in some digital media. It seems to be a celestial being.

Leeds Castle auctioned by Mysterious Man

"Throwing 5.8 million pounds (plus commission), the mysterious rich man lives in the 'queen in the castle'--Leeds Castle"

Press releases with titles like these are flying everywhere, and even the general public who don't pay attention to the auction know about it. These days, many people use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Adams is too lazy to confirm the authenticity of the information, why is it necessary to forge it, there is almost no substantial benefit.

He didn't say anything more, and directly invited a top-level butler who just graduated. The supply of top-level butlers who really meet the standards is in short supply throughout the world, and they are basically employed after graduation, because there are too few and too difficult to achieve.

A real top housekeeper is the kind of person who is willing to dedicate his life to his career. They will put everything in the employer's family at the commanding heights. Basic skills are even more proficient.

Fimiller was not in the academy. While waiting, Wu Qian learned some basic information about Fimiler from Adams.

British, male, 38 years old, proficient in English, German, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. He studied at the University of Warwick, which is known as one of the top business schools in the UK. A large university, the highest ranking over the years is the 48th in the world.

"This... this level of education is quite high!" Wu Qian looked at the information in his hand and said, he didn't expect that a top student who graduated from a top [-] university in the world would work in the service industry of butler, which made him feel a little weird.
