England 1986

Chapter 267 Little Stone is Back
There was no light on in the hall outside the bedroom.

In the small fireplace, a small bonfire was lit, which could bring a little warmth to the damp environment in the castle.

Allen listened to the little yellow tunes playing on the record player and watched the live reports on TV.

Because the live broadcast is too boring, it is said to be a live broadcast, but most of the scenes are airports or telephone connections.

The Yankees are very thieves. They left many reporters in Iraq. These reporters actually have equipment to contact the outside world.

Then a small phone logo appeared on the TV, and the outline of the reporter's photo was pasted on it, which was equivalent to the host's on-site connection.

These reporters said that they were not involved in military operations and only cared about whether civilians were injured.

But through their words, their views on the surroundings, whether the civilians are in panic, whether they have food, whether there is chaos outside, etc., they can infer the corresponding local people's livelihood.

Allen has been concerned about the frontline warfare in recent days.

It’s not that he’s interested in the casualties of the Iraqis, but that his kangaroo meat, rabbit meat, and canned beef are already ready to be shipped, and they’ve been hoarding them for so long in advance, just waiting for this one-time dumping to Kuwait to open up sales and occupy the market .

Today's Kuwait, let's say it's broken, is actually almost there, but the social order has almost collapsed.

In just a few days, the coalition forces have destroyed more than 80% of the power system and most of the military facilities of large targets throughout Iraq.

Coupled with the global simultaneous live TV broadcast, let alone these allies of the United States, most countries in the world were frightened by this military operation.

Iraq is like a target, and it is also a blind target. Under the violent bombardment of a group of strong men, they have no power to fight back and can only be passively beaten.

The enemies are all in the sky, they cannot see or touch them.

More than 40 years have passed since the end of World War II.

Time is changing, and some military equipment is also being upgraded, but tactics, many places still maintain the tradition of the Continental Army.

There are guns, guns, and tanks.

Increased firepower, frontal pressure, this is the general tactic, and other tactics, whether it is interspersed or other tactics, are supplements based on this idea.

The role of the Air Force.
In fact, most areas are still at a very rudimentary level.

The combat system is not three-dimensional, but rather flat.

Electronic warfare like the present interrupts all the radar and communication facilities of the opponent, and then conducts continuous air strikes for several days and tens of thousands of sorties.

The frontal enemy hasn't seen it yet, and our army has been seriously injured.

This kind of tactics is too insane.

To sum it up simply, this thing is the sublimation of technology and money.

The carnival of major military enterprises.

Watching the content about logistics and transportation being broadcast live on TV, a few little blacks got off the transport plane with a few sheep.

There were a few little blackheads behind who glanced at the camera with wretched faces, and several sheep that looked very good-looking were picked up from the transport plane one after another.

Seeing this scene, Allen couldn't stand it anymore.

He understands this, but many outsiders may not necessarily understand it.

As we all know, the number and military expenditure of the US military have always been a mystery.

There is a high probability that a sheep like this is not for eating, and if it was for eating, it would not be carried off the transport plane so carefully by these little blacks.

This is probably a specially bred sheep.

It can also be called a happy sheep.
The price is definitely not low. As far as Allen estimates, it is estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars.

It works.
It can replace people, and it's safe, but I don't know if it's hygienic or not.

Anyway, Allen had never seen this kind of thing in Great Britain, and it was a fancy game played by the Yankees.

It just looks gross.

Turning off the TV, Alan seldom goes out these days. He came to the study and prepared to read the financial report for the second half of last year and the financial report for the whole year.

The turnover of the radio factory built in Huaguo reached a record high of 100 million pounds. After excluding various operating expenses, the remaining profit reached more than 200 million pounds.

The income of this radio director is now more than his family's previous year's income.

The biggest advantage is that thanks to the demographic dividend, the cost is low, coupled with the newly upgraded production line, as well as the brand image, the radios have even been sold back to some European regions. Big, but it can be sold anywhere.

As for the instant noodle factory, after the initial sales expansion, it is considered to have entered the Korean and island markets.

It's not that they can't enter other places, but that the production capacity can't keep up.

The instant noodles of this era are the ordinary Japanese-style instant noodles with no meat inside and only one or two packets of ingredients, and the profit can even reach 50% or higher. It is divided into high-end and high-end product lines, but overall, the profit margin is slightly lower than that of other brands of instant noodles, only about 35%.

However, high-end brand products, that is, the kind of barreled noodles with meat buns inside, have sold well in South Korea and island countries after they were launched.

That is to say, the productivity can't keep up with it now, and it's all just started. All kinds of supply, worker training, equipment procurement, etc. have to be done slowly.

The total sales of instant noodles this year have exceeded 5000 million pounds. In the past one or two years, with more and more skilled workers and equipment in the factory, the output value will increase exponentially, and breaking [-] million is imminent.

The instant noodles alone can bring him more than 1000 million pounds in profit this year, which doesn't seem like a lot, but how about in Chinese dollars?Almost [-] million!

What is the concept of hundreds of millions of profits in the 90s?
This is still in its infancy.

Besides
The rest of the food delivery business is a bit bleak, with no profit, just subsidized money.

The current Blue Knight Food Delivery has established sites in seven cities, with more than [-] members, and is expanding rapidly.

But with the blessing of the Internet this year, I believe it can slowly get on the right track. This Allen is not in a hurry. This kind of large chain food delivery company has to give these stubborn British people who are poor in accepting new things, a time to adapt.

The rest is the Gambia business, which has been doing business for several years.

The current development of the entire industrial chain is relatively complete. From the customer side, whether it is shipping rebates, referral fees, and finally consumption, Allen can get money from it.

In Gambia, he also has related supporting industries, training, physical examination, training equipment, etc., and also has income.

Overall, the annual dividends distributed to him are almost 600 million pounds.

This industry mainly has to distribute money to several other partners. It seems that there are not many in the end, but this industry can last for a long time, and it is a "high-quality industry" that has formed a complete industrial chain.

But this year, Allen will have to deal with this industry cruelly, completely sever ties with this industry, and go ashore for nothing.

"Dong dong dong."

Putting down the file, Allen, who was about to continue picking up another report to check, heard the knock on the study door, thought it was a servant who came to deliver food to him, and responded casually.

After picking up the report and looking at it for a long time, there was nothing else in the room except the sound of the door opening and closing just now!

Allen raised his head slowly, and there was a strong man standing in front of the desk, with a parted hair in the middle and gold-rimmed glasses, looking at him with a smile.

The sudden appearance of this stranger startled Allen.

Take a closer look, isn't this the little stone he sent to the Butler Academy for several years of further study?

"Huh? When did you come back?"

Seeing Little Stone, Alan put down the documents, and quickly pulled the bell to let the servant bring in some tea. He pointed to the chair and asked Little Stone to sit first.

"Master, I came back last night. It was too late when I got home, so I didn't go to see you first."

Little Stone, who used to be a little frizzy, is now wearing a suit. Although he doesn't look very elegant in a suit, he looks a bit like a thug in a suit, but this is glasses and a middle-parted hairstyle, which makes him look It sounds like a little bit of style.

In the past few years, it's not that the little stone in the middle has never come back, but every time he comes back, he is in a hurry. Alan has something to do, so he doesn't rush every time, and he has never seen him.

Thinking back now, it has been a few years since the two of them retired from the navy together and sent him to the Butler Academy.

Now that Little Stone has finally returned from his studies, this reminds Allen that his secretariat can finally be put on the agenda!

"You just came back. You usually learn more and see more from Hu Te. These days, you should rest at home and go in a few days."

Allen picked up the cigarette at hand, lit one and thought about it: "Let's go to Oxford and Cambridge to recruit some people. I want to form a secretariat."

"Secretariat?"

Xiao Shitou blinked, feeling a little puzzled.

Allen had no choice but to explain to him the purpose of setting up the secretariat. He usually helps him with some family affairs and some simple trivial matters, which are picked out by Huth and handed over to these secretaries.

You can't have him come for every little thing.

In the past, the family had few properties and it was easy to manage. Now there are several companies outside. Seeing that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, if Huth can take care of it, with Huth's ability, he will definitely not be able to take care of it.

And bring small stones, set up a professional secretariat, and help Alan handle some affairs, and he will be freed from it.

He is only in his 20s this year, and he still has a good life ahead of him. He can't be trapped in the study room to handle various affairs at home except for the annual vacation, right?
Then what is the meaning of this life?
"Okay, I understand." After listening to Alan's statement, Xiao Shitou understood what he meant.

A prestigious university like Cambridge University has students from all over the world, and talents from all walks of life who come from here. I dare not say anything else. I believe that with this as a condition, a group of professional talents can still be recruited.

After explaining the business, Alan listened to Little Stone telling him interesting stories about him in the Butler Academy over the past few years, while picking up the report next to him.

The box office revenue of "Terminator 2", which was released last Christmas for more than a month, has roughly counted the box office of the United States and the United Kingdom.

On Daying's side, it's just short of less than 2000 million. Currently, with a score of more than 800 million pounds, it temporarily ranks first in the annual box office list.

The box office in the United States is different, and it is indeed worthy of the old card. At present, the total box office of "Terminator 2" in the United States has finally reached more than 400 million US dollars!
With a cost of less than [-] million pounds, the current box office in Great Britain and the United States is considered to have paid off, and the rest depends on the total box office revenue in other overseas regions and the later sales of video tapes.

This is an achievement that even Allen himself can't achieve. Although his films are not small, they always feel that they are a bit biased, and there are a lot of private goods stuffed in them. They are famous, but the actual box office is not good. The land, the loss is not enough to lose money, but the box office does not make much money, and it depends on the steady stream of video tape sales to make money slowly.

But this time, Lao Ka's income from one movie can be compared to the combined income of Allen's three movies!

This person is more popular than the dead!

It made Allen very jealous of sci-fi movies now, and he also wanted to practice his hands with a whole movie this year, and it would also be a box office hit, with a global box office of hundreds of millions.

In February, before school started, Diana personally sent William and Harry back to Ellen's manor again. This time seeing Diana, Ellen felt keenly that Diana seemed a little haggard again.

But the last time we met, he said everything that should be said, and he almost told her clearly that as long as there is no trouble, it's fine to play your own way.

But outsiders are easy to persuade, but whether insiders can get out is hard to say.

Seeing Alan for the first time, Diana smiled reluctantly at Alan, took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Alan.

"what is this?"

Allen held this little velvet box, which looked like a jewelry box.

"A small gift for you. When you get married, let your wife wear it. But if you want to find a young one, you can't find a woman in her 40s."

Although Diana looked a little haggard, her words were as unreliable as ever.

"Haha."

Allen understood the meaning of her words. Because of face, Diana couldn't encourage Allen openly. She couldn't thank her nephew for helping her out and greening Donald, right?
So I clicked on Allen in the words, and pointed out specifically that he should not look for a wife in his 40s in the future.

There is no one who Allen has dated with before, and there is only one person in his 40s, and he is still the one who was rumored to be in the previous period. This means it is obvious.

Invite Diana to the side hall and let the servant serve some refreshments.

Diana picked up the silver cup and put several sugar cubes in the black tea. As if she suddenly remembered it, she pretended not to care and asked, "Allen, this time next year, you need to spare some time."

"???"

Allen had just finished pouring tea for Diana, and was pouring it into his own cup, when he suddenly heard such an early invitation, he was a little confused what she meant.

"This time next year? What are you going to do?"
