England 1986

Chapter 373 Malmesbury
Women give belts to the opposite sex. The meaning of this gift is a bit interesting.

Allen pretended not to care, and asked Yassin Rania to come over to give him a massage, and she didn't resist too much.

Sensing Yassin Rania's unfamiliar massage techniques, the two asked and answered, chatting with each other.

Allen remembered the information he had read about Harrods.

This time, the Egyptian father and son can be regarded as a solution to their urgent needs.

Allen has long wanted to open a large-scale comprehensive membership-based shopping mall, but first, he doesn't have enough cash on hand, and second, he doesn't have enough manpower. Because of these two reasons, the supermarket has been dragging its feet. , the plan has not been formally introduced.

This time, with Harrods, it just made up for one of his shortcomings. With their large department store, Allen plans to take over for a while without making any changes, mainly for the purpose of learning.

Then I will cooperate with my "alma mater" Cardiff University, find some college students such as my seniors, juniors, and juniors, and come here for internships. A group of personnel with sales and management experience.

This time can be as short as half a year, and as long as one to one and a half years. When Alan returns to his blood and has enough cash, these people will be considered "successful in their studies" by then, and he can pull these people away. Build a comprehensive membership-based shopping mall that he planned, and Harrods department store can be used as a large-scale training base for newcomers, giving him a steady stream of training super sales and management talents.

And my classmates in the university can use it with confidence, and the early internship salary does not need to be so high.

If you dare to be dishonest and disobedient.

I won’t even give you a graduation certificate!

After all, Cardiff University is in Wales, and Alan can still manage it.

This method of air-controlling people will be relatively gentle, and it will not easily arouse the resistance of these college students. After they gradually adapt and accept the status quo of society in a few years, they will gradually add various benefits. Human loyalty is guaranteed.

Listening to what Yassin Rania told him about the company's rules and regulations, Allen nodded occasionally.

Although these Egyptians are a little exaggerated, even after escaping to Great Britain, they did not forget to promote the culture of their hometown and renovated the entire Harrods department store. Falcoconut is still so good.

For example, since the year before last, Harrods Department Store has issued clear management regulations, no customer is allowed to enter the mall for shopping if the dress is too casual.

This dress is too casual, including but not limited to wearing slippers, big pants, open breasts, leaking breasts, disheveled clothes, etc. Although it is not required for every customer to wear formal clothes when shopping here, but fancy clothes and fancy clothes Those things are not allowed.

In this way, the force of the shopping mall has been raised to a higher level. Although the media has made some mockery of their regulations in the past two years, overall, in Allen’s view, such management regulations are still Very good.

For a long time, Allen would order casually unless he was at home. If he was outside, under normal circumstances, his clothes would be matched by servants who were in charge of his image.

What kind of occasion, what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of shoes to match, or ties, bow ties, hairstyles, jewelry, etc., and even matching perfumes, these are all strictly regulated.

Although there is a little sense of restraint, Allen is not considered repulsive.

When going out, personal image is still very important. Sometimes, some bosses dress casually, which is the so-called down-to-earth.
In fact, this is unruly and lacking in quality.

This kind of atmosphere was brought down by Yankees.

Especially with the development of the Internet, people were led astray by those tech geeks, and later on, so-called down-to-earth dressing came into being.

So-and-so boss dressed very low-key and plain, and then attended a meeting on such-and-such an important occasion.

Even later, some wore jeans, plaid shirts, and sneakers to attend the press conference.

This kind of behavior, in the past, Allen might still think that this is really like the media boasted, this is the easy-going and down-to-earth performance of the boss.

But with the change of his current status, Allen no longer has this idea. When attending certain occasions, even if he is relaxed, he must dress formally.

As a boss, if you don’t dress formally, it’s a sign of disrespect. Don’t talk about being down-to-earth, easy-going, or a symbol of American freedom.

That's bullshit behaviour.

Ordinary people don't care, of course, but when a person reaches a certain status, if he can't manage his image well, how can he expect them to treat his products and customers better?
If a person's own image is poor, or the image is very casual, can customers expect any good things from his products?
If he said that the quality control of his products is extremely strict, wouldn't that contradict their casual image?

If you can't even manage yourself well, how can you manage your own products?

Anyway, Alan doesn't believe it now, and he has been doing the same thing for a long time, just like his takeaway, the threshold is to apply for a membership card first, even if the customer doesn't use it in the end, he can refund the money to them.

But the process of applying for a card cannot be missed.

First, Allen was afraid that they would not have the strength to spend, so a membership card was equivalent to a deposit.

Second, the membership card can screen out a large number of customers who are not willing to apply for a card. Customers who are not even willing to apply for a membership card, how many times do you expect him to order takeaway?
Allen has never cheated the poor. He will directly screen out some poor customers through this covert method, once and for all.

"Okay. Are you tired? Go and ring the bell, let the servant take you to take a bath, rest for a while, and stay and have dinner together at night."

When Allen was thinking about something, Yassin Rania rubbed his shoulders obediently and did not speak. After he thought for a long time, he realized that this person was still busy, so he stretched out his right hand Putting it on Yasin Rania's hand on his shoulder, he patted her hand lightly.

This bold action made Yassin Rania tremble subconsciously, but Allen's action stopped there, as if he really slapped her hand, without any thought, just to remind her.

Yassin Rania blushed and obediently followed Allen's instructions, walked to the pillar of the balcony door frame, and pressed the electric bell to notify the servants outside to come in.

"Master, that old fellow sent someone to ask about his son's situation."

After sending Yasin Rania to rest, Little Stone came to Alan's side, squatted beside his recliner, and reported the situation in a low voice.

"Ha ha."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Alan's mouth when he thought of Dodi who had been cut down.

What does it mean to extract the marrow from the bone and eat it dry?

To blast the crap out of its last trace of value.

This Dodi can't die now, and Allen didn't intend to really kill him.

It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that this kind of guy, after this experience, will scare him to death in the future, and if he lends him ten more guts, he will not dare to come back to trouble Allen.

Allen has this confidence!
He needs this Dodi to live now, and this guy can only move around London in the future. With his rich second-generation social circle, when his friends see him in such a miserable state, think about it because he provokes Isn’t it very promotional to see who has become such a miserable person?
Allen will not stay in London often. At this time, he needs the image of a villain. With such a big Harrods department store there, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts will inevitably be greedy, but they want to trouble this department store. Before that, think about the master behind him!
See if you can provoke the murderous Master Allen!

Moreover, Harrods Department Store is still a listed company, and it will take some time for the delisting and privatization to be carried out slowly. This will require Dodi’s father, the Mohammad Farcoco, to personally operate and release his son first. , Pretending to be true to his word will also make it easier for him to work for himself better.

When the transfer of Harrods is settled in the future, whether to keep them or not depends on Alan's mood at that time, maybe.
It is not impossible to report them casually, say that they came to Daying for another purpose, and then let the security department arrest the father and son again, and blow up the oil and water on them again.

Anyway, it's all killing with a knife. Whoever kills is not killing. These foreign wealthy businessmen have become naturalized when they arrive in Great Britain. For Allen, they are big sheep that can be slaughtered by him.

In a society with a constitutional monarchy, no matter how rich you are, without the corresponding class and status, it is just a big piece of fat that will be swallowed up sooner or later.

"Go and arrange for someone to bring Dodi to naturalization, then become a Welsh citizen, and then send him back. Remember his expenses at our Carmarthen Public Hospital in the past few days, and let them settle it by the way."

"understand!"

Xiao Shitou nodded, stood up and prepared to make arrangements quickly.

"Don't rush to leave, how is the arrangement over there?"

Allen raised his left hand and greeted Little Stone.

What he's asking now is about getting rid of Karami's sister.

"Master. Our people have already made arrangements. Her whereabouts are uncertain these days. Old John said that they will make temporary arrangements, but... they will definitely notify you as soon as they are done."

"Well, let's go."

Hearing a satisfactory answer, Allen nodded.

Ever since he knew that Andrew didn't care about his face-riding output by writing to him, Allen gave up the first set of plans.

His current thinking is to strike first, cut off her left and right arms first, and then...
As soon as that bitch died, Allen was going to make a big move to take them away in one wave.

Having been out for so many days and staying in London every day, Allen is getting a little tired, and he misses Wales a little bit.

Now just waiting for the manpower at home to take action.

May [-]th, just after noon.

Southwest England, near Malmesbury, a small village under the jurisdiction of Wiltshire.

This is one of the paths back to London after coming out of Boss Cha's manor, Highgrove Manor.

The roads in Daying are radiating, like a spider web, expanding out circle by circle. There are circular roads and radial roads. The roads are connected. The traffic is generally very convenient.

But this is already a remote area far away from London. If you want to go back to London faster, you must take these small roads, otherwise you have to go south for a long time if you want to get on the highway.

And here in Malmesbury, there is a well-known small restaurant, which is quite well-known. It is called Mayumafu Hotel. It used to be the place where ordinary civilians and caravans on their way stayed.

To put it bluntly, it can be understood as a place like the wild inn in Huaguo.

It has a long history and a long time. The signature dishes of the restaurant are within tens of kilometers around here, and they are quite famous. Most of the tourists who pass by here have a meal, and most of them will stop by and come to this restaurant for a meal.

But in the past few years, the economic situation in Great Britain has been too sluggish. There are fewer people coming out to play, fewer tourists, and fewer people passing by here. The business of restaurants
Every day is worse than every day.

The price of a restaurant with a remote address like theirs will be a little bit higher. If you go out to play in normal times, it doesn’t matter if you spend an extra ten pounds for the meal. Now.
In order to save money, most people will step on the accelerator and go to the small town of Swindon, which is more than 20 kilometers away, to eat.

If things go on like this, there will be very few people on this path at the entrance of Malmesbury, and often there will not be a few cars passing by in a day.

A burgundy Rolls Royce was driving slowly on the country road.

Inside the car, Karami's younger sister, Annabelle, crossed her legs, watching the program shown on the TV installed in the car.

The quiet sound-proof environment and the extremely exquisite shock absorbers allow the vehicle to drive on such country roads without affecting the comfort of the occupants.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to buy a Rolls-Royce, you still need some status. Ordinary civilians can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy a Rolls-Royce, let alone this kind of customized model.

But Annabelle has her sister, what is a Rolls Royce when the pillow blows?
Strictly speaking, the Rolls Royce she is sitting on is still a custom-made model for the royal family, so she sits with peace of mind.

Annabel's driver is a very ordinary old driver. He was only noticed by his boss in his middle age. He has a stable character and has been driving for decades. His biggest advantage is stability.

Just after turning the corner, an old man in plain clothes was standing on the side of the road holding a small signboard tens of meters ahead. There was an old-fashioned bicycle beside him, and he seemed to be carrying a backpack in the basket.

The old man waved towards them with a small signboard in both hands, and the driver saw the words "Good-hearted people passing by, can you stop for a while" written on the signboard.

"Boss, there is a gentleman blocking the way ahead. He seems to be in trouble and needs help."

The driver turned his head and reminded Annabelle, who was sitting in the rear left corner.

"Oh? Leave him alone."

As soon as Annabelle finished speaking, she saw that the old man was already standing in front of their car.

This is in broad daylight, although the location here is a bit off, but you can't directly hit people, right?

The driver's only trace of caution made him subconsciously press the door lock button again to ensure that the other party would not open their car door directly outside.

The old man held up a sign and approached the car, motioning to the people inside to lower the windows and ask them to say a word.
