England 1986

Chapter 239 Arnold: I want to be like this in the future.
There were a few knocks on the door, and before Allen could answer, the door of the study was pushed open.

Li Zhi came in with a tray, put the small bowl on the tray in front of Alan and said, "Have some hangover soup, what are you busy with?"

Shaking the materials and jewelry in his hands, he glanced at the curious Li Zhi and said, "This is not the data you showed me. I'll think about how to integrate them and give full play to their greater value."

Li Zhi glanced at Alan and said strangely: "Do you British people always like to measure everything by value? In fact, there are some things in these materials that I have no idea of ​​​​exchanging them for money at all."

Alan was taken aback by Li Zhi's words.

Leaving aside the rest, he even understood what Li Zhi hadn't said yet.

In doing this, besides being free and having money, she probably really likes some old or traditional handicrafts.

However, with the development of the times and the impact of foreign cultures, many traditional handicrafts of Huaguo are about to be lost.

She did this probably with the intention of making a contribution.

Anyway, as far as Allen knows, the current solid wood furniture with traditional Huaguo craftsmanship has been impacted by some modern craft furniture.

Plywood, exquisite hardware, coupled with a novel layout design, a brush of paint, this is high-end, western-style furniture.

The price is more expensive than traditional furniture, and the profit is much more than traditional furniture.

Under the impact of such a market environment, many old and traditional things cannot adapt to the market, and will gradually be eliminated as they cannot keep up with the market in the future.

It won't be until years, even decades, that people really get rich and start to miss the past before the charm of old things will be awakened.

Let's put it this way, even if it is an ordinary notebook, if it is printed in English on the cover, it will look very foreign.

This is the current trend, and no one can change it.

And Allen's ideas are too idealistic. He simply wants these things to conform to the market now and not to be out of date.

But how long can the people who do these things last?

Even give them money to support them.

After taking a sip of hangover soup, it was not very tasty, so Allen pushed the bowl aside.

Pulling Li Zhi to sit on his lap, he told her what he had just thought.

"Look, here's what I think. The things you made are scattered and messy, but the cultural symbols are very clear. I wonder if they can be integrated. It's not that some crafts are inferior, but It’s about bringing all kinds of crafts into play where they can.”

Holding up the hairpin in his hand, he said, "Like this kind of craft, if it is made bigger, can it be made into a large headgear, such as a crown."

"crown?"

Li Zhi's eyes widened, and he leaned on Allen's body in surprise and said, "Why make it into a crown?"

"tsk"

Allen had no choice but to give Li Zhi a good science on the invisible benefits in it.

As we all know, there is a very special certification in Great Britain, called royal certification.

There are currently three types of this certification.

The first is the Queen's Warrant.

It is something of a certain brand. After being recognized and recognized by the Queen, you can actively submit an application, and then you can use the unique logo and description of the Queen's certification on the brand.

The big royal crown logo looks very bluffing, but the value of any product that is successfully certified will definitely increase.

And Alan had also thought about this before, that is, his products were not qualified enough for certification, and the boss checked him out.

The second type of certification is the Prince's certification, which is the certification of Prince Philip.

This is also a royal certification. The difference between him and the Queen's certification is that most of the products certified by the Queen are more feminine, such as jewelry, perfume, bags, clothes and so on.

The prince certification is more male-oriented, such as civilized sticks, postman hats, suits, leather shoes, and even notebooks!
And the last third type is double certification. Both the queen and the prince thought it was a good thing, so they both gave it certification. This is the highest standard.

It can be understood as a product for the royal family.

It is estimated that if Boss Cha has his own crown prince certification in the future, he will be able to add two new royal certifications.

But whichever brand has this kind of certification can add a new level to the quality of the entire brand.

Allen had no choice but to come up with a fake earl certification like a porcelain touch. On many of his things, there is an earl crown logo that looks like a crown. It also means this, and it looks very advanced.

But in fact, it can fool the layman, and his behavior does not belong to official certification.

Li Zhi wrinkled and said: "Then the crown must be liked by the queen before it can be certified? Is there a time limit for this certification?"

Allen said with a chuckle: "As long as the jewelry is really good-looking, I am still very confident in the certification. As for the deadline, the certification is once every five years. This is one of the means to ensure the quality of the product. If the first certification is successful, as long as the brand side The quality and quantity are guaranteed, and there will be no moths, and there will be no problems with subsequent renewals."

Alan put his arms around Li Zhi, and told her about the prospect of this kind of thing. It's not only the nobles who can carry this kind of thing. As long as it looks good and becomes famous, some rich businessmen and rich people also like to buy these things.

Ladies can wear this kind of crown headgear when attending any banquet or the like.

As long as they don't wear it blindly when attending banquets held by nobles, under normal circumstances, when the two classes cannot get in touch, whoever wants to wear it will wear it.

When those Hong Kong sisters were selected, and when they ranked first, second and third place, didn't they also wear that kind of small crown.

After what Alan said, Li Zhi also became a little interested. When she didn’t usually go to Wales to find Alan, it was quite boring to be honest. A little money, now I see that the prospect is very good, and I have a new impetus.

He kissed Allen lightly and said, "Master, it's getting late."

"Haha, let's go!"

After resting in Xiangjiang for a few days, Allen met with Shuzhen one after another, and the pair of Korean sisters she had been helping to take care of, and arranged for them to go to Australia to study with Nicole. It's not long since Boss Cha came over.

In order to prevent running into people who came to the front station in the early stage, Allen came and went in a hurry without letting anyone see him off. He took a few bodyguards and boarded the plane back to Wales very low-key.

Cardiff International Airport, when you first hear the name, you may think that this place must be very luxurious, high-end, and very international.

But...in fact, places like Cardiff International Airport and Seoul International Airport are very similar.

They are all in name only, and they are representatives of gold and jade, and failure.

The entire airport is very small. Think about a small city with a population of 30 million, even if it is the capital of Wales, how big can its airport be? !

There are no high-rise buildings, and the entire waiting room is just an ordinary large flat hall. Whether it is buying tickets or waiting for a flight, it is like a very common hall for banking business in later generations.

A few rows of iron three-seat chairs, plus those iron fences, this is the entire waiting area of ​​Cardiff International Airport.

Standing in the back half of the lobby of the waiting area, you can still see the planes on the runway inside the airport through the window.

Cameron was waiting for the plane with Arnold.

Today is the day when Arnold returns to the United States. Cameron, who works in Cardiff as a post-production special effects, personally drives Arnold to the airport.

Cameron can also be regarded as Arnold's nobleman. He was used since the first "Terminator", allowing Arnold to realize the leap from a fitness boy to a movie star.

The relationship between the two is quite good in private.

Just now, a staff member in the waiting hall announced with a loudspeaker that the boarding time will be postponed, and the specific reason is not mentioned.

There were only a dozen passengers sparsely in the waiting room.

Cameron was bored waiting, so he invited Arnold and Nuo to stand next to the trash can by the window of the waiting room and smoke.

"Director, look over there!"

With a cigarette in his hand, A Nuo blankly pointed to the side of the runway not far away.

Next to the empty runway in the past, there is a row of Land Rovers parked today, and there are two old Bentley cars in the front.

"Huh? Isn't that His Excellency Allen's car?"

Cameron saw the two iconic Bentleys from a distance, and recognized at a glance that they were Allen's car, and the figure on the runway looked like Butler Huth.

This.
The reason why the boarding time was delayed can be considered to be found. This is His Excellency Allen is coming back, and the entire airport has to put him at the top priority, even if his plane has not landed yet, but there is no way, this is Wales, This is the treatment of nobility!
"That's His Excellency Allen's convoy. Do you see the man standing in front? The one with a beer belly is Sir Hoot. It seems that His Excellency Allen should be back today."

Cameron pointed Arnold to the convoy in the distance, and the middle-aged man standing beside the car.

"hiss"

Although the airport is not a big airport, and the place is not big, although I have seen many privileged behaviors before, but it is so aboveboard, even the plane he is flying in has not even landed, and the boarding time of the entire airport passengers has to be delayed. The behavior of having to give way to him still shocked Arnold.

This is a real privilege, an aboveboard privilege.

Having been filming in Wales for so long, Arnold has only seen that gentleman from a distance, and he has never said a word, which he regrets all the time.

But today's battle really irritated Arnold.

If a man reaches this level, then he is the real master!
rich?

What is the use of having money alone?

This is power, real power, or hereditary power!

This is the real emperor.

Cameron looked at Arnold who was staring at the convoy beside the runway in a daze at the airport, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter? Envy?"

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious!
Arnold nodded earnestly, and a thought popped up in his mind suddenly.

I want to be like this gentleman in the future!

"Hahaha, when you do well enough in the film industry and apply for dual citizenship, you may be able to accept the canonization of Her Majesty the Queen and become a Lord of Honor, but even if you become a knight, you will be a little more than ordinary people." A little bit of privilege is not enough for this Your Excellency."

Cameron comforted the young and energetic Arnold.

"Haha, director"

A Nuo turned his head, his big rectangular face had an ugly smile, but his eyes were very bright and he said: "Director, thank you for bringing me into this movie, following you for so long, I have learned a lot and also experienced Got a lot, thank you!"

Cameron thought that Arnold was sentimental because of the upcoming parting, and stepped forward to put his arms around Arnold and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Arnold's eyes were fixed on the plane that had already landed and started taxiing. At this moment, a certain kind of ambition was crazily growing in his heart. Great Britain needs a knighthood to do this, but America...but not necessarily!

From Adelaide, which has a certain colonial atmosphere, to Darwin, where natives gather, to Xiangjiang, which is full of flowers and people, and finally returns to Wales, which is quiet and peaceful, even a bit too plain.

Allen sat in the car on the return journey, looking at the scenery outside the car window without saying a word.

He's been down this road many times, over a period of several years.

But in the past few years, except that the scenery outside the window will be slightly different as the seasons change.

Others, whether it is roads or buildings, are still the same. What they were decades ago, they will still be what they are now, decades later.
Not sure what it is.

"Click."

As the car bumped slightly, it was like on the road out of the city. There was a small pothole on the road. It had been a few years. Maybe someone could just shovel a few shovels into it and fill it up. But this pit is Still so stubborn.

Everything here has existed a long time ago, it will not change much, there is no vitality, and it is even a little lifeless.

This is what the Yankees often say about the pedantry and twilight of empires.

Turning his head, he looked at Hu Te, who had been looking at him worriedly since he got in the car, and said, "It's nothing. I just went out for a walk, and finally found that it's better to be at home. The period when I was away recently Time, are you okay at home?"

"Okay, master, it's nothing serious. The new castle has already broken ground. In addition, your yacht plan has also been sent. I put it in your study. And Princess Christina sent a gift. She even called Inviting you to Spain for summer vacation, I said you are on a business trip to Australia."

"Um"

It's all things that require him to come back to continue, and Allen is used to it.

When he came back this time, he planned to stay honest for a while, as the external situation changed every day.

Thinking of this, Allen suddenly remembered one thing.

"By the way. Has Rex asked you to report on work recently? What is that? What's his name? It's that little liar who was sent to Russia. Is there any news about him?"

How long has it been since people were sent out, but there is no news, so they must have been killed, right?

It's not like Alan, who sees through him and grabs a few words for interrogation.Finally, let him come out to work.

If you go there, if you are accidentally caught, then...
Allen couldn't save him.

"Rex?"

Hut frowned and thought about it. He hadn't seen Rex for a while. The last time he met was before Christmas last year. Let Rex come to the manor to get the reward from the young master, right?
