Chapter 622 You can add money

Early the next morning, Fanning set off for the imperial capital, Santara Castle, in his own business car.

The transformation and growth process of "Scheler" and "Lavoisier" will take several months, and later today, he will be invited by the royal family to attend the awarding ceremony of "the oldest and noblest Order of the Thistle in the northern continent".

The invitation was delivered to him backstage at the performance last night by Prince Louis on behalf of the royal family.

According to Fanning's mentality after his promotion, this should fall into the category of "not worth mentioning, not worth remembering" last night.

Emotionally I am still relatively calm.

However, the Order of the Thistle is the rarest, highest-ranking, and most talked-about honorary medal in Theolian, surpassing the five knight medals. There are only about twenty or so living owners, and most of them are elderly people. Considering the sincerity of the Louis royal family and the positive impact on his orchestra and art hall in the future, Fanning gladly accepted it.

Today Sheeran stayed in the Turner Hall to work, and Fanning gave her two tasks.

  First, organize your schedule for the next month, especially arrange the order of the people you need to meet and talk with;

The second is to notify the administrative and financial departments to further refine the current operating data and problems faced by the cinema chains.

According to Fanning, after the conversation and the report, he will hold a symposium with the executives, then a larger-scale management meeting, and finally, "introduce some necessary new actions."

So the entourage that went out today only had one driver at the beginning.

But later Fanning thought about it and called the music director Walter to join the discussion.

In response to this, Fan Ning said that he left Northern Continent not long after graduation, and now it has been even longer since he returned. There are some people in social situations that he is not familiar with, and he still needs his role as director to introduce or greet them.

Nearing three o'clock in the afternoon, Fanning took Walter by car to the Cold Spring Palace of the "Ctesibio" Royal Palace in Santa Ana. This is the smallest but most exquisite and artistic palace in the royal palace complex, with a history of more than 700 years.

Today the weather was clear and the temperature suddenly became pleasant. The vehicle drove slowly along the road under the guidance of the guards, and he admired the cultural relics displayed everywhere, as well as the light and shadow of this royal garden with great interest.

The investiture ceremony started late to connect seamlessly with the dinner, so the royal family first prepared afternoon tea for Fanning and other distinguished guests.

The tall captain of the guards led Fanning and Walter to the administrative corridor of Lengquan Palace.

This is a semi-open-air U-shaped garden area. The polyhedron lighting design of water blue cobalt glass, the layout of large-volume fish tank landscaping, and the embellishment of large patches of Kershville cornflower sapphires make every corner of the executive corridor soaked in noble cool colors. The guests' seats are all near the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the fountain in the outdoor garden can still be well viewed here.

Walter was temporarily assigned by Fanning to accompany the event, and he was still very confident.

  It seems that this new boss, Master Fanning, is just like my previous teacher, and is willing to show me the world. Well, I have suddenly started to meet noble people in the past few years.

Things like social introductions and greetings? Although it is not Walter's forte, he has made many friends from upper-class people through his travel experiences in the two continents over the years, and he has gradually honed his skills.

The most important thing is that after taking the position of music director of the old symphony orchestra, some connections and resources are unstoppable. Even if you don’t know how to do things, others will line up to come to you. The platform is so high that even a child can be pushed up to it - this is how Walter used to mock himself.

  For him, the main task today has nothing to do with art business. In a word, it is to "have some vision", cheer up, and do a good job of providing advice and care for his boss!

But from the moment he entered Lengquan Palace, Walter suddenly began to doubt his "career value".

First, five or six gentlemen stood up from a distance. Walter only recognized three of them. He was still organizing the words and content of the next greeting. Those gentlemen greeted Fanning from a distance and quickened their pace.

"Mr. Fanning, I finally see you this time!"

"Hahaha, we saw you at the concert last night, but that doesn't count as a meeting." "Hey, gentlemen! We should call him Master Fanning now!"

"Bishop Mir, congratulations on your appointment as Cardinal of the Northern Continent. How have the choir members I recommended performed in the past two years? Oh, the hymn collection written by Teacher Anton will be performed next month, involving 10 theaters and 6 churches. By the way, let me tell you about the church rank of our Director Walter."

"Mr. Charles, I said I would definitely visit your company. The cold storage is very useful, right? There are almost no problems. Oh, I have made a small profit from your United Fruit Industry's stock, and later I recommended it to several old friends to buy."

"Lord Earl Adair, we don't have to be polite. Yes, Lu went on a business trip to the south. Does your railway company also want the equipment and technology of the 'World Radio'? Just send one of your men to coordinate the cooperation plan with Lu. We are all family members, so we will give you long-term discounts."

"Thank you for the generosity of the beautiful Miss Brienne and the Rioneli Textile Group. Oh, the boys and girls in our orchestra are still full of praise for the quality of the costumes. A few days ago, seven or eight theaters in the south called to apply, hoping to improve the taste of the purchase and distribution of formal wear this summer."

  Uh, why does this boss of mine who just returned seem to be so familiar with everyone?

Walter, who had become a background figure of "handshakes, smiles and thanks", felt that some familiar memories were reappearing today.

The key is that I have worked very hard in the past two years!

But of these people, I can recognize their faces, match their numbers, and call out their names and titles, only half of them.

  Well, if it was someone in the art circle, Fanning was familiar with them, he wouldn't be surprised, and it was normal for him to be familiar with people in politicians or schools, but how come even every big factory owner seemed to have known him for decades! ?

What made Walter feel even more ashamed and puzzled was that there were two priests working in Santara, whose full names he was not sure of, chatting and laughing with their boss.

Who are the people of the church?

The key point is that along the way, he saw that Fanning relied on the average social time of 1-2 minutes with each guest and 3-5 minutes with several guests, and he managed to negotiate at least twenty things in a calm and relaxed manner. No, it can even be said that he was "not very enthusiastic"!

More than 20 cooperation intentions!

First, there were executives from chaebols such as Kent Motor Company, Gougeot Luxury Group, and Piodoro Winery Group.

Walter naturally knew these people.

They are all old clients of the symphony orchestra’s former “artistic sponsorship” cooperation and the Turner Hall’s key maintenance targets.

In July and August last year, when the annual cooperation plan of "art sponsorship" needed to be renewed, he remembered that he, Sheeran and Congreve spent a lot of time on it.

Although the result was not surprising and the price of the cooperation fluctuated within a reasonable range, for him, a relatively new music director, some necessary running around and visits were inevitable.

The issue of money is so important! Who dares to take it lightly?

The Turner Gallery is now a large and prosperous company, and it may seem prosperous to outsiders, but he knows that there are many difficulties in running the business.

  But what shocked Walter today was...

These tycoons approached Fanning one after another to discuss contract renewal, and some even introduced new business partners.

I also asked Fan Ning if there were any new things in terms of naming privileges or other aspects, and if there were any, he must let me know in advance.

  Damn it! It’s only April this year!

And they also said that you can add money!
