England 1986

Chapter 188 Secret News
Connecting all the things in the recent period, a very big plan slowly emerged in Allen's mind.

Become a large supermarket!
Warehouse-style supermarket.

Now in my hands, I have clothing, fabrics, and radios, which are barely electrical appliances, as well as medicines, various foods, and in the future, instant noodles, various canned food, and so many pastures in Wales and Australia.

Such as beef, pork, mutton, milk powder, milk, etc. can be made.

With so many miscellaneous things, it is not too much to set up a large supermarket, right?
Even if there are few types of products, take it slowly in the future, plus he only sells locally at first, and the Blue Knight can deliver to the door, and publish all the products in a booklet according to the current routine of food delivery, and send them to members .

Just a phone call, food and drink will be delivered to your home, isn't it convenient?
In the future, customers in towns and villages can call to order goods for food and clothing, and they will be delivered to their homes.

Customers in the city can call to order takeaway. There are many supermarkets in the city, and there are many choices, which need to be eaten away slowly.

Both lines must be grasped, and more than [-]% of ordinary people can be covered.

Take your time, and take a few years to infiltrate the whole of Wales first.

As far as Wales has a population of about two million, as long as the quality of the products in Mr. Allen's supermarket improves and the price advantage
Why, even decades later, in many places, there is still enough resistance or vigilance against the entry of large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart or Sam's Supermarket.

This kind of "small business" that seems to be a retailer is actually very critical when you think about it a little deeper.

People's livelihood materials have been the most important thing to maintain social stability since ancient times.

For a large supermarket like this, as long as the quantity of goods purchased in a unified manner is large and the transportation channels are mature, the price of goods can be further suppressed.

With the price advantage, all small and medium-sized local supermarkets will be crushed within a few years. In a low-population area like Wales, except for a few wealthy civilians with farms at home, most people’s current lifestyle is also Just go to the supermarket once a week to buy supplies.

It has a price advantage, and can even make a phone call to deliver the goods to the door. This model will crush all those small and medium supermarkets that are stubbornly resisting.

Then you can go a step further and bind the living items of the entire Welsh people to him.

Think about the daily food, drink and clothing of millions of people, all under his control.

Until then.
Whether it's going east to England, or controlling all the people's food, clothing and supplies in a principality, this is a very important bargaining chip.

This model is a bit like Wal-Mart or Sam's Club.

"what"

As soon as he thought of this, Allen was startled and suddenly remembered Wal-Mart. When was this Wal-Mart established?

I didn't pay attention to the news in this area before, but now I suddenly think of them. I don't know if there is such a company now. If so, what kind of development have they developed now?
It seems that after watching the Olympics this time and going back, Old Carl has to go back to the United States to investigate them carefully.

Allen is not going to kill future competitors in the bud, but is going to see if they exist now and what they have developed into. If they have a certain scale, then dig some corners first!

"Master, you are back, the Duke of Angus is here."

"Oh? Why is he here, where is he?"

When Allen entered the house, he was still thinking about the Shangchao. It was Huth who reminded him in a low voice to bring him back to his senses.

He scanned the living room in confusion, but didn't see the fat figure.

"Duke Angus waited for a while. I think he is not in a good mood. I suggest that he go fishing by the lake, which is the land you often go to."

"Well, what about William?"

"His Royal Highness William is having an etiquette class and His Royal Highness Harry is having an English class."

"Okay, I'll take a shower first and change my clothes."

Allen took two steps and was just about to go upstairs. He stopped and thought about it. Huth just said that Angus seemed to be in a bad mood?
What should a man do when he is in a bad mood?
drink!

"Hut, ask Master Zong to cook some side dishes for me. I want to drink with Angus and drink Huaguo's liquor. Just by the stream, you can send someone to tell Angus later, let him wait for me to wash Take a shower and change clothes."

"Okay young master, I'll ask someone to inform him."

"Um"

Changing into a pair of long sweatpants, the top was still short-sleeved, and wearing slippers, Allen wobbled to the creek where he often fished.

The terrain here is actually not very good. There is a small water nest, and the water is relatively shallow. If you want to catch any big fish, don’t even think about it. The main thing is to have fun. No one likes to be in this kind of stream I play freshwater fishing, so the small fish are relatively stupid, and they can be caught with some bait.

Angus was wearing a thin gray suit, his jacket was lost somewhere, and his long white shirt had rolled up sleeves, exposing two big elbows covered with long hairs, sitting like a black bear on the overwhelmed On the small stool, I was busy with a thin fishing rod.

Allen walked gently behind Angus, folded his arms and didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

When people fish, they throw their hooks into the water and wait patiently, but he is fine. When the fishing rod is in his hand, it looks like a wooden stick.

"If you are like this, you can catch a fish in this lifetime."

Looking at him, I really can't bear this stupidity, Allen reminded me aloud.

"Ouch, Falk!"

Angus was startled by the sudden voice from behind, and almost lost his grip on the fishing rod in his hand. He turned his head with great difficulty, only to see that it was Allen.

"You're finally back, I've been waiting for you all afternoon!"

As he said that, he turned the fishing rod in his hand to the side and stopped fishing altogether.

After taking the small stool, Allen walked towards the creek, and put the small stool directly on the edge of the shallows, so that after sitting down, the stream can cover his feet, and the cold water is very comfortable.

Seeing Alan's behavior, Angus hurriedly imitated him, kicked off his leather shoes, flicked his socks, and sat next to him with his buttocks up and a small stool.

"What's the situation? I heard from Huth that you are in a bad mood today. What have you been up to lately?"

Allen stretched out his hand and took the cigarette handed by the servant, Sanwu, a very common brand.

Pass one to Angus.

Angus looked at the filter-tipped cigarette with some distaste, but still caught it.

"I just came back from London recently. I didn't even go back to Manchester. I came to you directly."

"Why every time you come to see me, I'm not at home?"

Allen was a little speechless. Coincidentally, almost every time this guy came, he could catch up with him when he was not at home.

"Hey"

Angus sighed and said, "I've gotten closer to the Duke of Kent recently. I hang out with him. He even invited me to go hunting in West Africa after Christmas when the Congress closes."

Duke of Kent?

For this, Allen was stunned, and after thinking for a long time before he remembered who it was, he couldn't help but wondered: "Why did you get mixed up with him?"

The Duke of Kent has a high title, a high status, and is extremely famous. His family situation is similar to that of Allen. He inherited his father's title when he was seven years old. He has been extremely chic since he was a child.

He joined the army in Scotland when he was young, and has been mixed up everywhere. When he was 24 years old, he became a member of the House of Lords and started his career in the House of Lords for more than 30 years.

He was there when Alan went to the House of Lords to encourage Angus to do something last time.

This old guy is more than 50 years old this year, he is a duke, he lived in poverty, and his reputation is notorious, which can be said to have shocked England.

However, the biggest difference between him and Allen is that he has a high family background and a branch of the royal family. The Duke of Kent is the queen's cousin. That is to say, he and the queen have the same grandfather. To put it bluntly, they are the clan Clan.

His duke is different from the duke of Angus. Angus' ancestry is the Duke of Manchester, which sounds famous, but Angus is a foreign minister, and the royal family has no obligation to support his family.

Can't mix well.
If you don't do well, sell your ancestral property.

But the Duke of Kent is different. He can get the salary of the members of the royal family every month, and the standard treatment of the Duke.

But even with such generous conditions, this old man is still a moonlight clan in the aristocratic world.

The monthly wages are all spent, and that's not all. He has no money and sells his property.

It's all royal stuff, it's said
He even dared to sell his father's prince's crown, which can be called the ceiling of the prodigal son of the British aristocracy.

Uh.
Thinking of this, Allen looked at Angus even more weirdly.

As expected, people flock together, and things are divided into groups. The royal family prodigal son and the foreign minister's prodigal son really match each other. The Duke of Angus and the Duke of Kent are not much different in age, and their hobbies are both prodigals and blond girls.
This pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes get together
"What is your look? What are you looking at me for? We are talking about business! National affairs."

The Duke of Angus felt uncomfortable being looked at by Allen. His self-esteem was greatly hit by the look of looking at a fool. He twisted his buttocks, and the small stool he sat on made a few more overwhelmed noises.

"Hmph, what can you two do? Are you discussing how to sell the House of Lords?"

"Humph! Let me tell you, Alan, I really got some big news from the Duke of Kent this time! I didn't tell anyone. The Duke of Kent told me because of our friendship."

"laugh"

Allen sneered, and blew out a smoke ring in the direction of the creek. A fat white figure flew over the creek unsteadily. When passing in front of Allen, a small stone struck When it fell into the water, there were little splashes.

Then there was a very unpleasant "cuckoo" sound, and it flew away again.

"This fucking idiot!"

Seeing Xiao Huang making trouble here, Alan couldn't catch it.

"I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Alan was not taking it seriously, Duke Angus carried Alan with his arm.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening."

Angus looked around vigilantly. The servants of Allen's family still knew the rules. They knew that the two of them were talking here, and they were far away from each other, so as not to hear what they shouldn't hear.

Moving closer to Allen again, Angus said in the smallest voice he thought he could: "The Duke of Newcastle's family is extinct!"

"???"

Allen stared blankly at Angus for several seconds. Suddenly, Allen's arms were covered with goose bumps, and his eyes widened.

"Extinct? What's the matter? The Irish?"

shit
This is so scary, what does extinction mean?
The word extinction is usually used to describe a certain type of animal, which is called extinction.

Now it is used to describe a family, and it is still a duke family.

The meaning is very clear, whether it is the heirs of their family or the heirs of their blood, they are all dead, no one inherits the title, that is to say, they are extinct.

This is too bad!
Allen felt a bit sad at this moment. Although he had never had any contact with the Duke of Newcastle's family, they were all members of the noble class, and they were not too far away, so they were extinct like this?
Angus just wanted to reach out to cover Alan's mouth, but Alan blocked it instantly.

"Keep your voice down. Now the above means that it will not be made public for the time being. The situation has been a little tense recently. I heard from the Duke of Kent that this is what the Queen meant."

"???"

Allen also paid more attention this time, and continued to ask in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't the Irish do it?"

This is what he is most concerned about. If the Irish did it, it would be too scary. Even he has to pay attention to it. Although the Irish have always preferred to go to England by detour from France and not enter through Wales, this does not affect Ai. Lun on guard.

"This generation of the Duke of Newcastle is said to have not shown up for many years. It was the Queen who said some time ago to count the number of nobles who have survived so far, especially the number of the upper class. Only then did I know that he had died of illness in June! Even the search for an heir is a nobleman. The Ministry of Affairs is in charge, after searching for a few months, there is no one who is qualified to inherit!"

The Duke of Angus was deeply concerned, and talked to Allen with a gossipy face.

"Oh, dying of illness? It's good to die of illness, it's good to die of illness."

Allen breathed a sigh of relief, and was nervous for nothing, but then, he also smelled something unusual from this gossip.

It seems that the judgments made by several consultants in the family together with him are quite accurate. The situation is tense recently, and a duke family is extinct. For such a big event, the news must be suppressed.

If the Duke of Kent hadn't made friends carelessly and told Angus the news, Alan wouldn't know the news now.

It's so fucking sad, it's been months since he died, and he didn't know the news until now.

Think about how low-key these British aristocrats usually live. If the queen doesn't send someone to make statistics, it's not impossible for this kind of thing to be discovered after a few years.

But this kind of news instinctively made Allen a little nervous. He didn't know why he was nervous. Anyway, Wales was very stable, but it was the kind of person who knew that something was about to happen, and was still watching it happen step by step.

That kind
The feeling of things surfacing step by step is both nerve-wracking and exciting.

"Hey, what are you stunned for, what do you think?"

Angus watched Alan listen to the news, remained silent, and carried Alan again.

Allen looked at the water surface of the creek. The sun was about to set, and the water surface reflected a layer of golden color. He pretended not to care and said in a nonchalant tone: "You said... all the heirs of their family are gone?"
