Chapter 155: Unknowingly overstepping one's authority
The magician shrugged his shoulders: "This is your problem...... Aha, you bought the Lily property is a smart move, I looked at the accounts, this building has an annual return on investment of 11%, which is already a very good income in Europe, where the market is fully competitive. β
Wang Cheng flipped through the account book casually: "But excluding employee wages and property taxes, the final income is only seven percent, that is, about 100,000 pounds, which is not high, right?" β
"You're too demanding, this is Cambridge, it's the cheapest place to rent, it's already good to have this kind of income, okay, please hurry up and enter the lawyer process, hurry up and finish reading the accounts, sign and approve, I can't stay here too long, the new invitation you want will be mailed to you tomorrow, tell me her name......"
When Wang Cheng sent the magician away, and when he returned home, Henry had been talking with six or seven salesmen in the living room for a long time, and Henry immediately bowed when he saw Wang Cheng: "Sir, you didn't provide me with a purchase catalog, I took it upon myself to order some kitchen cookware......"
Wang Cheng nodded in acquiescence, there is really nothing to choose from in this kind of tool daily necessities, the user is not him anyway, as long as the quality is excellent.
He said to Henry: "I have already spoken to the lawyer, you have done a good job with Miss Oda in the past, I hope to continue to hire you, as for the rest of the personnel, they will continue to be retained, and I am looking forward to your performance in the future...... By the way, I'm going to go to the Netherlands to attend TEFAF in seven days, but I don't know if I'll be able to come back, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come here often in the future, so I don't need to have all the furniture in my room all at once.
Oh, let's do it, in the attic room where I live, please help me buy a sofa that suits the style of the room, tea set, coffee set, wine set, plus a little bit of supplies that you think are necessary, the small attic room on the top of the building will arrange a lady to stay in this time, please buy a bed and matching sofa, living room supplies......"
It is impossible to complete the knowledge in books, such as how to arrange this Tudor-style room, which can only be understood and not spoken. Wang Cheng's knowledge basically comes from books, although he knows the general direction of the point, to be specific to the details, those knowledge is far from enough. But since he had hired an English butler, he left it to Henry, an Englishman, to design it.
It was only a temporary base for him, and in a week he was flying from London to Maastricht, and after that, for a year, Wang Cheng didn't know if he would be able to return here, so he didn't care about the layout of the room at all.
Henry's face was overjoyed - it was not what excited him the most to be able to stay, the key was Wang Cheng's trust in him, his vision, and his integrity...... He immediately showed that he was worthy of the trust of his employer: "Sir, the cook you hired will be here soon, and there will be three cooks for you to choose from...... They'll be there in seven minutes, but if you're only hiring for a week and you're leaving, we're afraid we won't be able to hire a good cook. β
"How's the makeshift cook?" Wang Cheng asked: "Hire a temporary one, and the craftsmanship is almost complete." I only use her for a week, ten days at most. β
"Sir, the salary of a temporary cook who works for a week like this is probably not much different from that of a whole month."
"Then pay her a whole month's salary and only hire her for a week."
"As you wish," Henry no longer insisted, and instead inquired about the purchase: "Sir, what do you think of 'Joseph and Joseph's kitchenware'?" β¦β¦ Okay, let's appoint, 'Joseph and Joseph.'" Sir, which do you think Williams vs pinch furniture do you like? β¦β¦ Okay, just pinch......"
Wang Cheng interjected: "I like Pinch's solid wood furniture series, I am often away from home, and solid wood furniture is better to take care of." In terms of timber material, I like hardwood, but Indian sandalwood is too dark, if there is light reddish-brown European alder, pale green African ebony, golden American walnut, light rosy Thai fragrant wood, I am satisfied. Not really, oak is acceptable. β
"As you wish", there are five salesmen who came today, two are supermarket bulk goods salesmen, and three are suppliers of specific brands, and they bowed in unison after listening to Wang Cheng's words.
"Sir, do you want to add a curtain, which has been hanging for three years now......" Henry reminded softly.
"You can do it", Wang Cheng turned back to his bedroom and began to sort out the mail bags that had just arrived.
There was an extra Peruvian parcel in this batch of parcels -- it was not sent by Wang Cheng, but by the company. Because Wang Cheng was promoted, many of the expenses that he used to bear by himself began to be borne by the company, such as the glasses, jewelry, rings, and corresponding safety equipment that Wang Cheng needed to decorate...... Wang Cheng opened the parcel, and when he found these things, he threw them aside, and went to pack the parcel sent by Argentina first.
The parcel contained stolen goods that Wang Cheng had seized from Argentine bank robbers.
These things belong to personal items, and if they are not used to show off their wealth, they may not endanger their own safety...... Wang Cheng packed these things into the vault of the master bedroom on the fourth floor, and then put the corresponding items in the other mail bags into this vault, finally making the vault no longer look empty - Wang Cheng counted afterwards, he already owned nearly 200 watches, more than 300 pieces of jewelry with the surname of men, and more than 100 pieces of jewelry with the surname of women.
There are also some fur products such as mink, fox skin, otter skin, deer skin and other special products from Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other places, as well as locally produced European famous brand men's clothing and men's surname products, silverware, platinum, gold utensils, plus some African special wooden ornaments and wooden interior decorations.
After hiding the more valuable items in the vault, Wang Cheng sat there and thought about what role he should play in Maastricht...... An art dealer should be very particular about personal taste, as well as ...... Very artistic.
From this point of view, Wang Cheng designed the script, and then walked out of the vault with the Peruvian parcel and the sensitive items selected from the other parcels, he casually put a few pieces of silver and platinum ornaments in the bedroom and the small lounge, and put a few pieces of African wood in the dining room, making a look of being busy in the bedroom, and when Henry reported that the cook came, Wang Cheng just let the other party observe his busyness, he stopped and asked Henry: "Can you let them show themselves first, um, How about one person cooking one dish? β
Henry bowed: "Sir, any labor is paid. It's not a good idea to let the cook cook to show yourself because it means hiring. β
"You're saying that, as a rule, I don't have the right to make them work until I've hired them, even if it's for them to show off their cooking skills?"
"Yes! Also, it was too hasty, and we didn't have all the kitchen utensils, so ......"
"Alright then, you do what is customary, pick a cook you think is suitable, I don't have any special requirements."
Wang Cheng chatted with Henry, and after sending Henry away, he turned around and went to the top attic, where to enter the dressing room - the advantage of this "rabbit hole" is that there are hidden roads everywhere, and even if someone is next door, you can go to other rooms without attracting attention.
After entering the absolute secret room, Wang Cheng began to open the Peruvian parcel...... On the top layer of the parcel are more than a dozen pairs of trendy glasses, some of which were available last week. The lenses of these glasses have been treated and replaced with "flashing" crystal lenses, electronic liquid crystal lenses, and so on. Each has its own special features. Wang Cheng put the glasses in the drawer of the dressing room and began to organize all kinds of accessories with the surname of menβcufflink bugs, rings for special purposes, tie clips with cameras, necklace pendants with eavesdropping and video functions, electronic watches with audio and video recording functions, and personal terminals with nuclear batteries.
After these things were organized, Wang Cheng filled the wardrobe with men's clothes, furs and other things in the mail bag as a cover-up, and then he sat on the stool in the dressing room and pretended to think, and after a while, Henry finally found him, informed the employer that the kitchen utensils were in place, the cook had been hired, and went out to buy ingredients according to tonight's menu, Wang Cheng praised Henry a few words...... Later, only Wang Cheng was left in the room.
Opening the drawer full of ties, Wang Cheng first locked the locker room, then lowered the staircase from the ceiling of the locker room, and began to transfer the most important items in the Peruvian mail bag - the electronic devices with strong spy colors were transferred to the "absolute secret room" for storage.
Then, Wang Cheng turned on the computer in the absolute secret room, connected to the company's supercomputer, and reported his script......
After the script was successfully transmitted, while waiting for approval, Wang Cheng was purely bored, and entered the company's database to check what new content there was. The computer in the absolute secret room had been used by Lily, and the IP address had been authenticated by the company, so he entered the company archives without any obstacles and flipped through the content he was interested in in the sea of literature.
In boredom, Wang Cheng unconsciously moved the computer case, and his fingers inadvertently touched the USB flash drive socket - only to feel a bang, his thoughts immediately entered the computer hard drive, and began to run along the circuit channel......
Having had this kind of experience before, Wang Cheng was not in a hurry to leave, his mind flashed, he felt that he had entered the company's supercomputer, and suddenly, a huge amount of information rushed to him, he was a little dizzy, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, and quickly flipped through the catalog in the vast sea of literature, copying the content he needed......
I don't know how long it took, he felt that the supercomputer was running slowly, and several servers seemed to be manually disconnected, Wang Cheng seized the time, and in those connections that were still valid, he checked the valuable things, and then he saw the file title, as long as he found it useful, he didn't have time to check the details, so he downloaded it first...... Sweating profusely, a messenger message popped up on the screen: "What are you doing?" β
