We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 268 Aristocratic Life
Chapter 268 Aristocratic Life
The next morning, Luo Nianzhong, who was sleeping soundly, felt moisture on his face.
When he opened his eyes, he saw two dog heads.
On the side, Matsuzaka Keiko was very happy when she saw Luo Nianzhong. She was in very good spirits. She should have had a good rest last night.
I let you escape last night, but you dare to provoke me this morning. Don't you know that all men who get up early are Optimus Prime transformed?
With the dog head, isn't it better to be sexy even though there is no lolita?
So Luo Nianzhong used the doubled version of the weakness he learned from the two puppies on Matsuzaka Keiko. The two little guys were guiding him and calling him from time to time to correct Luo Nianzhong's mistakes.
Luo Nianzhong is also very modest. Whenever he is corrected, he will change to the correct posture to release his weakness. Anyway, he is practicing crazy custom skills.
When Luo Nianzhong came to the restaurant with two followers, Sarah was wearing sportswear. Sweat was flowing on her cheeks and soaking her clothes along her jade-white neck. She must have just returned from a run.
It is said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more self-discipline she has. To put it another way, can it also be said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more time she has? The story here is very complex and can be studied in detail.
"Morning, you got up so early for a run? It's good to get up early and exercise." Now that we have met, we can't just pass by without saying hello.
Unexpectedly, Sarah didn't spoil him, she just rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes, Qingzi and I originally made an appointment to go running together, but she left me and went to find someone else to exercise."
"...".
Luo Nianzhong smiled awkwardly, saying that Western women and Eastern women are different. There is no shyness or taboo in the language, but they don't know that in actual combat...
Anyway, let’s not think about it.
"You go clean up and change clothes first. I'll wait for you in the restaurant."
Luo Nianzhong said something and left quickly, as if he was running away.
The three of them had their own thoughts and after having a strange breakfast without words, Sarah took Matsuzaka Keiko to visit Oxford County.
When she was in France, Matsuzaka Keiko often used Luo Nianzhong's money to entertain Sarah. Now that she was back at her home court, she would definitely do her best to show her kindness to the landlord.
After the two women left, Luo Nianzhong, who was rarely free, looked at the two puppies lying on the carpet next to him and had the idea of training them.
"Ron, Roy".
I don’t know why, but the two little guys didn’t know that this was their name just given last night.
But these two sounds from Luo Nianzhong made them stand up, wagging their tails and came to Luo Nianzhong's legs, and kept rubbing his thighs affectionately.
"omg, sir, this is incredible, you seem to be a great druid."
Carson, who was standing behind him and was a little amused by Luo Nianzhong's actions, was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw Ron Roy actually coming.
He has been praising him as a great druid, a messenger of God and other words.
Luo Nianzhong could more or less guess some of the reasons, but he said modestly, "Maybe the two little guys like me and are destined to me."
Fate, that's what Rabbit said.
In Carson's view, Luo Nianzhong belongs to the group of people favored by God and is born with some attributes that others envy.
The woman at home was not at home. Luo Nianzhong teased the dog and looked at some documents. Liang Botao came over to report to him some work and progress in Belgium.
At noon, Luo Nianzhong stayed with Liang Botao for lunch, which was not lonely.
But the process and level of detail during the meal made Liang Botao envious. In his words, it was like traveling through ancient times to become a prince.
"Work hard. In ten or eight years, your wealth will allow you to live this kind of life. Trust me."
Liang Botao still believed Luo Nianzhong's words. All employees of Far East Group knew that Luo Nianzhong was not a boss who liked to paint cakes. Everyone knew his generosity.
Not only Hong Kong Island, but also the island countries and the West know this.
A very interesting thing is that the Far East recruits talents from island countries every year, and more and more high-level talents from island countries submit their resumes.
As the island country's economy has taken off in the past two years, island countries' companies have begun to snap up talents in large quantities.
How far has the competition reached?
Many graduate students from top universities have not yet joined companies, and large companies in island countries will provide them with free travel, salary advances and other benefits.
As long as a fresh graduate applies for a job, he or she will receive a thank you fee, which is about 1 yen, regardless of whether he or she is selected.
The current average salary in the island country is around 30 yen per month, which is basically equivalent to a day's salary.
In other words, if you apply for a paid job and work less hours than a regular employee, you can just say it's irritating or not.
But even so, the Far East Group, which did not offer any benefits, is still among the top five companies that college students from the island country are most willing to apply for. It is also the first foreign company and the only foreign company among the top twenty.
This is mainly due to the islanders who have worked in the Far East Group in the past few years. When these employees go back for vacation, they will gather with their classmates and friends. During this period, they will inevitably talk about their respective jobs and remuneration issues.
Especially those who work abroad and in a large group like the Far East Group that claims to be overseas, they will naturally become the targets of their cross-examination.
They are proud of the rapid economic development of the island country in recent years, and they will inevitably want to compare themselves with their classmates or friends who have gone to other places.
Comparison? This is an indispensable element of any class reunion.
But the result disappointed them. The salary of Far East Group employees with the same conditions and positions was almost 1.5 times their annual income.
Moreover, the higher the level of scientific researchers, the wider the gap. The welfare benefits of mid-level technical personnel are more than twice as high.
There are even worse people like that who can lead a team to tackle difficult projects.
For example, Akira Yoshino, who worked for Asahi Kasei Corporation in Japan and later moved to the Far East Group due to research funding and scientific research environment, is now leading a team to research lithium battery projects.
Although he switched to Far East Group because of issues such as scientific research funding, Far East Group did not treat him badly. The salary added up to one year was three times that of the original Asahi Kasei Company.
For this reason, Asahi Kasei Company also published a large number of Far East Group in the media of the island country, saying that the Far East Group maliciously poached employees and violated industry rules.
It's okay if this doesn't appear in the newspapers. Once it does, it's equivalent to a big advertisement for the Far East Group.
Young people, in particular, find it okay to leave their hometowns to work for overseas companies with higher salaries, and they all demand that island companies should learn from the Far East Group and raise their salaries.
It is these kinds of deeds that make young people in the island country like the Far East Group very much. Except for those who are unwilling to leave their hometown, they are basically willing to submit a resume to the Far East Group.
A large international company with good benefits and benefits. Working here makes you money and face.
It’s not far from my own country. You can fly back anytime if you feel homesick.
The food and culture are similar. In terms of language, since Hong Kong Island now has bilingual teaching, there are not many big obstacles.
There are also seniors from home countries who I don’t know. What’s wrong with wanting to work in such a company?
In fact, the wages offered by the Far East Group are really quite good. Compared with island countries, they seem to be much higher, but compared with Europe and the United States, they are only about 10% higher than others.
You can't be paid based on skin color, right? Isn't that racist?
It is this kind of world-class salary that has caused a large number of talents from island countries to begin to flock to the Far East.
Currently, Far Eastern companies have more than 20,000 employees working in Hong Kong Island alone, and yellow people account for more than 70% of them.
Among these 70%, islanders account for nearly half, about 5,000 people.
The remaining nearly 10,000 people are Chinese, locals from Hong Kong Island, and talents from various Asian countries.
However, this ratio will soon be broken. As students from Hong Kong Polytechnic University leave the school, basically those who have achieved academic success will be absorbed by the Far East Group.
On Hong Kong Island, it is difficult for any company to compete with Far East Group in terms of talent.
Liang Botao left with admiration after lunch, and Luo Nianzhong also put down his work.
Even though he was quite leisurely, he and Carson toured his manor in the afternoon. In fact, all the servants in the manor were very busy today.
Since the morning, the entire Enron Manor has been busy.
First of all, there is the kitchen, where everyone is helping to pack various ingredients and prepare and process everything that can be prepared in advance.
After lunch at noon, various delivery trucks came in and out of the manor.
These are all the things that Carson's contact placed yesterday after Luo Nianzhong adopted the redbud flower as a family symbol. He placed a new order for items in the manor.
For example, the tablecloths, curtains and other cloth decorations that were just delivered have changed the color to purple or added purple elements, and they also have the Bauhinia logo. Another example is the wine glass. Near the base of the wine glass, there is a transparent redbud imprint.
There are still many things to replace like this, and there are many things that cannot be produced at all due to time issues.
It can only be said that money can really make things work. For this reason, Luo Nianzhong went to the family expense account managed by Uncle Fu to pay 10 million US dollars.
It's not that these things in this manor cost ten million US dollars. Luo Nianzhong's plan is to replace and build his home and other places around the world to this standard.
Luo Nianzhong's method for managing residences in various countries around the world is to set up a property account and directly manage it with Forbes. Daily consumption applications are handled by local housekeepers and Forbes once a month.
This mainly includes daily expenses and maintenance expenses, such as wages, which are directly paid by Fubo, so that we can also know the staffing and other issues of each residence.
As for large-scale repairs that require large sums of money like this time, temporary applications are required.
Just like the housekeeper Fiona had always done in the manor she bought in France, it is the same now at Enron Manor.
All residences can be regarded as a company, and each residence is a branch. The finance of each branch is managed vertically by the head office of Fubo.
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, shortly after Matsuzaka Keiko and Sarah returned, Carson came over to ask.
"Sir, madam, Winston has sent the dress over. Do you want to try it on?"
Luo Nianzhong didn't care, but Matsuzaka Keiko nodded curiously.
This is the first time she wears this kind of clothing specially designed for her. Although it was modified from the finished product due to time issues, it is also unique, isn't it?
Matsusaka Keiko excitedly took Sarah to change clothes, but Luo Nianzhong was not interested.
In his opinion, no matter how he changes, he can't escape the confines of a suit, and it doesn't matter whether he tries or not.
"You go and try on the clothes. I won't get over it if I still have something to do."
What's going on? It's just that he doesn't want to move. Luo Nianzhong sat on the sofa and picked up the information sent by Liang Botao and read it again.
About twenty minutes later, when the two of them came together again and stood in front of Luo Nianzhong, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
A belted dress with a fine coat on top, a retro style from more than a hundred years ago that doesn't feel out of place at all.
Especially for Sarah, the clothes she wears are obviously passed down at a glance. You can feel the age of this clothes with just the naked eye.
Coupled with her figure and her gushing look, Luo Nianzhong couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Sarah also noticed Luo Nianzhong's gaze and made a posture of bending over with her hands intertwined, as if opening the door for him.
After such a moment of judgment, Luo Nianzhong came to a conclusion.
This woman who is usually unremarkable has been underestimated by herself. This is a woman who can compete with Chris. She should be the fifth letter in the English alphabet.
"Does it look good?".
"Well enough".
Luo Nianzhong replied subconsciously before reacting. He chuckled and said, "I mean, your clothes are really nice."
"Yes, it's good, that's why I asked you if you look good."
If he hadn't seen the flash of cunning in Sarah's eyes, Luo Nianzhong would have believed her lies.
But he didn't say anything because he really didn't want to continue chatting with her on this topic.
"Dong dong dong dong".
Four bells rang in succession, and it was tea time for the nobles.
There is an old nursery rhyme in England, which goes like "When the bells ring every time, everything in the world stops for afternoon tea."
It can be seen that the British people are persistent and fond of afternoon tea, and they even distinguished different levels of words in the early days.
British afternoon tea is divided into two types: high tea and low tea. Do you think high tea means high-end afternoon tea, while low tea means ordinary people enjoy it?
The fact is exactly the opposite, high tea is enjoyed by ordinary people.
In the past, ordinary lower-class people could only eat something simple on high tables and high chairs to replenish their strength before continuing to work, so it was called high tea.
Low tea is only enjoyed by nobles and upper class people.
They sat on the low sofa, enjoying the afternoon tea time as a priority, chatting leisurely.
Paired with waffles, finger sandwiches and various cake snacks, the tea must also be loose black tea rather than tea bags.
This was the afternoon tea life of British aristocrats hundreds of years ago.
British people like to eat sweets, and it can be said that they regard sweetness as their life.
It was originally a dessert, but it was sweeter than normal, which Luo Nianzhong couldn't accept.
On the other hand, the two women tasted the food with joy on their faces, and from time to time they would exchange notes on the taste of their own food.
After the leisurely afternoon tea time, Matsuzaka Keiko and Sarah went to the garden to pick flowers. This was also the norm for nobles to hold banquets.
As hosts, they will discuss the menu and help pick some flowers to decorate the scene.
When Sara and Matsuzaka Keiko were talking about this, a word popped into Luo Nianzhong's mind - idle balls hurt.
Just after seven o'clock in the evening, the guests began to arrive for the banquet. The first one to arrive was the old guy John Spencer.
"Oh, my princess, you are so beautiful today. You didn't come home yesterday and you don't even know how much I miss you."
The old guy first greeted Sarah who came forward to greet her and praised her.
"Luo, thank you for your invitation today.
I didn't expect you to make a move so quickly and decisively buy the old man's estate in Conywes without giving me a chance to compete."
Conyves was the last owner of Enron Manor. Unfortunately, the old man was an old-fashioned man. He still had to maintain an aristocratic life without much financial income.
Now that he is fine, he has sold his ancestral manor and the money is enough for him to live the rest of his life like a noble.
"I can only say that I was lucky. I took action decisively when I had such a rare opportunity."
John nodded in approval.
"Yes, it is indeed rare.
Nowadays, there are no manors of this size near London, and they are basically regarded as cultural heritage for people to visit.
For a private estate like this, with such beauty and history, this should be your last one.
Many people have had the idea of this manor before, but that old guy Conywes refused to sell it, and you didn't expect that when he was willing to sell it, he gave you a bargain."
Luo Nianzhong did not agree with John's words, "I don't think so. I don't think it's just that the price is not enough. I paid more than two million US dollars more than the original interested buyers."
"How can this be measured in terms of money? But what you said makes sense, just like the cooperation between us, isn't it for a win-win situation?
You have increased your influence and industrial layout, we have developed new industries and our income has increased significantly."
Seeing that he brought the topic to cooperation, Luo Nianzhong smiled slightly and did not continue, but continued the topic of the manor.
“You are right, this estate really cannot be measured in terms of money.
Although it was only two days, I felt it was well worth the money.
It just so happens that you can take advantage of this time before the banquet starts to ask Sarah to take you around and get a good feel for it. I'll go say hello to the others first."
Luo Nianzhong's attitude made John feel uneasy, but it didn't show on his face.
"Okay, then let Sarah show me around. I really like this manor."
