Chapter 197: "Gift-giving"

Breakfast ended with George and Alice's siblings, and after the meal, Alice took Gigi and Qiao Tao to leave the manor and go to Disneyland under George's instructions to the original bodyguards in the manor and Ulmes Okans.

As for Ulmes and Okans, because George would not be out today, and they were anxious to familiarize themselves with the situation in Los Angeles, George sent the two to accompany Alice on this outing.

Although Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and an internationally renowned metropolis, the security problem is not much worse than that of New York, where it is a hotbed for the rich, and it is also an active area for criminals.

In this huge amount of money, there are more than two billion dollars of funds flowing out every year because of kidnapping and other issues, which is less than one-tenth of the total, which is not a large amount, but the rich people in Los Angeles have increased their security to varying degrees because of this number, they all know what this number represents, after all, they are well-informed and they know what kind of price this number represents, if it is just a ransom, there is no problem, physical destruction, psychological tension and even collapse, and more importantly, there is fresh blood and the existence of corpses, everything has become different, based on this, security has become the top priorityThe business of defense companies has also benefited from this.

Because of the problem of the proliferation of guns in the United States, there are hundreds of accidents every year, and safety issues have seriously affected the activities of ordinary people and wealthy people in the United States.

How could a powerful arms dealer let the gun ban agreement pass, you don't see that the troublemakers will be ruined or disappear without a trace for some reason, if Watt Smith is not a member of the Watt family, and he doesn't really put it into action, it's just a show, and the consequences are unknown.

Arms dealers are the most unruly group of people in the United States, but at the same time they are the most rule-abiding people, after all, only those who follow the rules can survive, and once they don't follow the rules and make everyone vigilant, no matter how strong their strength is, it is useless.

Since Bush Jr. came to power, why did he start wars one after another, a peaceful world is not a safe sale of guns to satisfy their appetite, a turbulent world is a world that conforms to their interests, and even behind President Donald, the demon king of the later generations, there is openly standing a group of arms dealers, if it were not for them, a tight "Russiagate" would be enough for him to be impeached like Clinton's "zippergate" back then, and there is no time to sit in that seat at all.

Standing at the door and looking at the distant convoy, George did not return to the living room, but walked straight to the small low house next to the villa, which is a wine cellar that stores well-known and unknown red wines from all over the world, as well as some of the red wines produced in his own local vineyards in California.

After waiting for the butler Charles to get the key to open the door of the wine cellar, George entered the wine cellar, looked at the long wine cellar deep into the ground, smelled the thick wine box emanating from the cellar, shook his head lightly and strolled through the wine cellar.

"Charles, I want a bottle of Romanée Conti, a bottle of the Ace of Spades, plus two bottles of wine from our own winery three years ago!"

Reaching out and gently brushing the corks on the exposed wine shelves, he didn't really look at the unbranded bottles of scarlet liquid, and after walking back and forth, George said to Charles, who was standing in the doorway with him.

"Young Master, is the wine you want for Yang today?

I remember that he liked to drink the spicy liquor from the East, he didn't like wine, and every year the winery sent back, his wife would ask me to send a box to Yang, but he would give it to his friends every time!"

Hearing George's words, standing at the door, he had not moved a standard set of permed, meticulously well-mannered tuxedos, his hair was between yellow and white, and his face was already wrinkled and still straight, and the butler explained to George.

This is a royal trained housekeeper from the United Kingdom, as the housekeeper of this manor, he must take care of the things in the manor in an orderly manner, and remember the hobbies such as the objects of contact and partners in the family, which is the first element of the housekeeper, and even some families will hand over some funds to the housekeeper to take care of the financial management by the way, you must know that for the housekeepers trained by the British royal family, the rich and families around the world are in high demand, their loyalty does not need to be introduced too much, and sometimes the housekeeper will help the family use their wisdom or connections to reverse the decline when the family is in trouble。

In many cases, housekeepers in a family are not just about managing household chores, and some families will even treat them as a family.

He already knew the news that Yang Weiye was coming for Christmas today, and he didn't think much about George entering the wine cellar to get wine, George used to come to the wine cellar every time he came home from Harvard to choose the wine he wanted to drink, but it was still very difficult to choose three kinds of wine at a time like this time, and he mistakenly thought that George was preparing for Yang Weiye, so he told what he knew for his reference.

"Oh, Charles, you seem to have misunderstood, these are not for the teacher, this is a Christmas gift for my roommate who I am going to send them to Boston today, to my apartment, I used to have a big party with them before I went home, only this time I didn't go back to Boston but went straight back to Los Angeles, this is a little compensation for them, I hope they can like it.

As for the wine that the teacher wants to taste, the liquor I purchased in the East is good, the teacher doesn't like wine, only the spicy liquor in your mouth. ”

Hearing Charles's words, George knew that he had misunderstood, shook his head with a smile, and pointed to the place on the side of the cellar that had been specially cleaned up to place the liquor he had purchased.

A few days ago, he just returned to Los Angeles to do a lot of things, he forgot about those classmates who were far away in Boston and did not go home during this holiday, he used to prepare a few bottles of home-grown wine for them every year, and this year is no exception, although today is Christmas, I want to come and deliver it to them in the evening, those who are going to have a party will not mind their gifts being late.

"Okay, I'll contact FedEx immediately and get them to Boston as quickly as possible!"

Hearing George's explanation, Charles turned around and was about to walk out of the cellar to contact the courier company, today was Christmas, and he didn't think that anyone he knew would go to Boston, so he had to rely on the courier company's people.

"Charles, I've already contacted it, someone will come back to pick it up in a while, and send it to Boston by special plane, all we have to do now is pick out the wine and give it to them!"

Looking at Charles, who was going to leave to contact the courier company, George immediately called out to him, and before going downstairs in the morning, he received a call from Mitsui Zhang, asking him if he would return to Boston this Christmas, after all, although George would go home at Christmas two years ago, he would hold a sorority party before Christmas, and this year he said that he did not show up now, and Mitsui Zhang, who boasted that he had a good relationship with him, called to ask him, which is why George was going to Boston to deliver wine today.

If it weren't for this call, George almost forgot that he still had something to ask Mitsui Akira in the future, after all, the Mitsui consortium is not weaker than the United States consortium in the world, and it is only because Japan is the godson of the United States that it is more low-key.

As a descendant of the Mitsui family, he will have a lot of rights in the Mitsui consortium, since he wants to step into high-tech and industry, the Mitsui family is indeed a good partner in some places, especially when both parties have such meaning.
