British 1986

"Lao Gu, are you busy in March?"

"???"

In the study, Gustav casually visited the displays on Allen's bookshelf, and looked at the large yellow object lying on the ground with envy from the corner of his eye.

It was visually estimated that it was at least two meters long and weighed two to three hundred kilograms. Although this thing was lazily sleeping on the ground with its eyes closed at this time,...

Such a big tiger, who knows when it will suddenly wake up and then attack and hurt people?

"What are you busy with? You're not busy."

"Can you do me a little favor?"

"you say."

"Help me make an appointment with someone to visit you in Sweden."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this weird request, Gustave turned his head instantly and looked at Allen, who had a calm face.

"Who to invite?"

"Do you know the King of Qatar? Invite him."

"???"

He spent all day and night inviting a king from the Middle East to visit Sweden. If there was nothing fishy about it, Gustav wouldn't believe it.

"Sweden is a neutral country, and I don't want to get involved in matters in the Middle East."

"Tsk"

This is too harsh to say.

Allen stared at Gustav's eyes for a long time. This old guy may not be good at his methods, but he is not stupid and cannot be fooled.

"Why did you ask me to invite him? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Allen didn't speak for a long time, Gustave deliberately made a half circle, walked around the big yellow lying on the ground, walked to the other side of the desk and sat down.

"Um"

This feeling of having to shoot an arrow with an arrow on the string is very uncomfortable, but as for Qatar, and the oil fields that Moza promised him, Allen is reluctant to give up.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't find a suitable excuse to fish out the old king of Qatar for a while now, so Gustav's side was very critical, but seeing how vigilant he looked, if nothing went well He said, this old guy will definitely not fall into the trap.

Therefore, only by showing enough sincerity can we get this old guy's help.

"I want you to help me invite the King of Qatar to come out. One week is enough. Tell me, what do you need me to do before you can help?"

Gustav looked at Allen with some surprise, what he said was so straightforward.

"This house is so empty. It seems like something is missing."

"."

Hearing Gustav's tone, Allen knew what he wanted to say, and he wanted to bring up old things again.

"You and Madeleine have been getting along for a while. I think you get along very well. What? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?"

"no."

"what is that?"

Allen hates this feeling, but think about it. Madeleine is also growing slowly now, and her appearance is not bad.

But this kind of vague "forced" feeling of being taken out is really unpleasant.

Perhaps seeing the resistance on Allen's face, Gustav said in a softer tone: "Do you know Yulen Hanma?"

"He? Isn't he the president of Volvo?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Gustav paused.

Before this year, Jullen Hanma was considered the most prestigious person in Sweden, higher than Gustav.

The Volvo Group's current status in Sweden is approximately equivalent to Samsung's status in South Korea a few decades later.

By analogy, one can imagine the status of the current Volvo president in Sweden.

"At the end of last year, Jullen Hanma took the initiative to tear up the cooperation plan between Volvo and France, causing the group to suffer heavy losses. Now a large number of people are criticizing his decision-making for major mistakes. The Volvo Group has now reached the forefront. Their lives are very difficult, and they are even more determined to abandon some non-performing assets.”

"???"

Allen didn't know why Gustav mentioned this to him. He and Yulen Hanma had no intersection at all. Both parties were almost not from the same world.

Gustav raised his chin and pointed at himself with some complacency: "I met him at the Christmas reception some time ago and expressed my desire to help him share some of his burdens. Yulen Hanma was very grateful to me. , it’s still what I told you before, Volvo’s small car department has not only lowered prices, but also has better loan policies.”

Stopping to take a breath, Gustav looked into Allen's eyes and said sincerely: "Alan, it's not that I won't help you. There are some things, especially in sensitive areas. Only a family can help each other with confidence. You said right?"

"yes"

"Then if I use Volvo's small car department to get the interest-free long-term loan, and only use you to give me a name, would you like it? This will be my daughter's dowry. As long as you nod, these are all yours, you There is no need to rush to repay the money, and from now on, we are a family. I believe you know better than me about our Swedish royal family, and I can’t threaten you. On the contrary, I, an old guy, I believe I can do it under certain circumstances. Come on, there is still something I can do to help you.”

"."

Allen looked at Gustav. He was not the kind of person who was indecisive. He would find a wife sooner or later. Since it was all said and done, it was not impossible.

Although he won Volvo's small car department and obtained a loan in Allen's name, most people would never get this kind of internal price opportunity. If he manages it well in the future, his income will still be considerable.

The oil fields in Qatar are not common. If you miss this opportunity and break your trust, it will be difficult to have good opportunities like this in the future.

He stretched out his right hand and handed it to Gustav and said: "Okay, then it's settled, Old Gu!"

"Um?"

Gustave curled his lips, a little dissatisfied with the name Allen gave him.

"father in law!"

"Haha, okay! When do you want me to invite him? Make a plan and leave it to me!"

Gustave seemed very happy to be called Allen, and held his right hand heavily with Allen.

In early February, Allen was preparing to write a review for the new month.

Xiao Shitou opened the study door and carefully looked at Allen, who was scratching his head.

I have to write a self-review every month, and I have to do it the same way every time. This is so embarrassing for my young master!

But this year, my young master's luck seems to be a bit bad, and trouble keeps coming.

"Master, I just received an order from His Majesty."

"Huh? Did His Majesty see that I was sincere in admitting my mistake and released me from the ban in advance?"

When Allen heard the words of the imperial order, he became energetic for a moment. Could it be that the old lady saw that he had been sincere in admitting his mistakes in the past two months and had relaxed her restrictions?

"Well, you can see for yourself."

Xiao Shitou handed a gilded envelope to Allen. The content on it was hard for him to describe.

"."

Seeing Xiao Shitou's expression, Allen had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, I took the envelope and opened it.

What was inside was not a royal order at all, but a handwritten letter from the Queen.

The first thing is fine, I'm just concerned about whether he has repented during the recent days of confinement at home.

Then the conversation changed and they talked about the murder of the Duke of Marlborough family some time ago.

"You don't know how to do good things, and bad things always happen without you!"

Seeing this, Allen almost exploded with anger. What does it mean to do bad things without him every time?

ah? !

But underneath the letter, there was an investigation report attached, which contained evidence about how Allen encouraged Duke James to commit murder.

Looking at something inside, Allen was speechless.

At most, he can be counted as providing "a little convenience" to James. Can the rest be counted on him?

It's not like he forced James to kill people? !

But the Queen determined that Allen played a role in fueling the murder of the Duke of Marlborough family, so his ban was extended for another year!

In other words, Allen would have to wait at least until August 1997 if he wanted to resume his true free life.

"Snapped!"

In front of Xiao Shitou, Allen suppressed the curse words in his mouth.

He looked at the Queen's letter and was still very angry. What does this have to do with him?

This is simply a disaster.

"Is there anything else?"

Looking at the little stone that hadn't left yet, Allen's tone was a little cold.

"Well, Master, there is one more thing."

"explain!"

"Last year's financial report came out, and we discovered a small situation."

Looking at Allen's extremely bad look, as if he was about to explode at any time, Xiao Shitou took the initiative to explain: "Master, we now have a central kitchen, so we have more detailed data on catering finance statistics. We compared Salia’s financial report last year and the year before that found some discrepancies based on our current data.”

"Um?"

Allen was stunned, Salia. Isn't this the chain of restaurants in the island country that he has a stake in? He has never worried about it, but personnel have been sent there. If I remember correctly, Salia's store in the island country It has been saturated, and now the main development direction is China. It seems that dozens of new stores have been opened.

"Tell me more about it."

It turns out that since Allen established a central kitchen model last year and started a unified system for preparing ingredients for pre-made dishes, his catering industries can not only save a lot of workers' work, but also save costs and increase table turnover rates.

This was originally a good thing, but Salia has always done this together. The difference this time is that the central kitchen system that originally belonged to Salia has been directly managed by Fa Da.

But once this is done, many problems emerge.

For example, in the past, Allen let them use Salia's annual profits to expand new stores, which meant that he did not pay much dividends, even if the early assets were accumulated.

But with the directly affiliated central kitchen model, the accounts here are equivalent to being separated from Salia. In last year's financial report, the central kitchen's accounts were compared with the accounts reported by Salia in the past. The data on both sides did not match. .

Theoretically speaking, Salia is expanding every year. Even if Allen does not pay dividends, Salia's use of these pre-made dishes should continue to increase. The consumption will only be higher and not lower, and The usage of the previous year was definitely higher than last year. After all, some stores are added every year, so there will definitely be more.

However, in last year's financial report, the distribution volume of central kitchens calculated separately was not as good as the consumption of the previous year.

What is the problem?

When there are fewer stores, more is used than when there are more stores?

The key is that in this case, the total profit is wrong!

All possibilities have been eliminated, leaving only the latter possibility. Before Salia Central Kitchen was divested in the past, there was a problem with the accounts here!

Allen was furious when he read the information. The islanders really couldn't be trusted!

"Let the father and son come to Wales in person to report last year's financial situation to me. I give them three days to appear in front of me. You go and give them a notice!"

"in addition."

Allen glanced sideways at the little stone and said, "Are you ready for the matter in Qatar?"

"Master, everyone is ready."

"Then you will be in charge this time, but..."

Alan felt very uneasy when he thought that his confinement period would be extended for another year. There would be such a long period of time in which he would not be able to see some places in person.

In addition, because of the little trick played by the father and son of the islanders just now, Allen now hates these people.

He felt that he was still too kind sometimes!

Some people will take the generosity and kindness of big people to them as soft-hearted and kind-hearted people, and then they will do some small tricks in their own right.

They will not be grateful for the opportunity given to them by the big shots, they will only feel that they deserve it.

"Is the eldest of Moza's children almost an adult?"

"The eldest grandson? It seems so. I haven't paid much attention to it, but she got married early, probably within a year or two."

Allen nodded, looked at the little stone and said pitifully: "When the matter is completed, you arrange for a 'king's confidant' to assassinate her, and use some special means, such as changing the type of bullets. Don't kill her directly, but Don’t make it easy for her, Moza is a very ambitious woman, and I won’t be able to leave in the past few years. In order to prevent her from becoming big in the future, let her live a few years shorter, and our friendship will not be in vain.”

Xiao Shitou lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I understand, young master, then I"

"You can set off in the next two days and go there in advance to make preparations."

"yes!"

Three days later, an Emirates Boeing 747 landed slowly at Cardiff International Airport in Wales.

Li Zairong stepped off the plane with a glowing face.

This year he learned a lesson wisely. Before last year's financial report came out, he personally came to Wales to report to Allen.

He definitely didn't come here because he read the latest news about Prime Minister Major in the newspaper. Everything came out of his heartfelt respect for Mr. Allen!

Of course. In early February, Prime Minister Major resigned from the Conservative Party, which still had some impact on him.

After all, he was the Prime Minister of Great Britain. He was defeated in just over half a month after officially fighting with him. The end was so miserable.

As for the widely circulated education reform draft, no one has mentioned it now. At present, the draft has been initially shelved. No one dares to talk about this issue. After all, whoever talks about this is indirectly talking about the Welsh man. , if you push that person into a hurry again, there is no need.

"Huh? Sir Hut, hello, hello, you actually came to pick me up in person."

Li Zairong walked a few steps and saw the person who had just gotten out of the car and was about to greet him. Unexpectedly, it was Sir Hu Te, the old butler of the Hill family!

After jogging for two steps, Li Zairong bent down and took the initiative to hold Hu Te's extended right hand with both hands, shaking it with a flattered expression on his face.
