Al woke up and stood up, only to hear a "click", and a piece of the wooden board under him broke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He reluctantly grabbed the broken piece of wood and took a look, and found that the wood heart had long been rotten, so he could only throw it away casually and look around at the bedroom where he slept, which could only be described in four words: the house is surrounded by four walls. The walls are already stinky and black, peeling off and peeling off, and the ground is full of dust, and the slightest movement is like being in the desert. There is no interior, no furniture, not so much a house as a large boxy box, and the only thing that can give Al some comfort is that these large boxes are still sturdy and should not collapse and collapse.

This is No. 322 Shenghui Avenue, which makes those nobles in Shenghui City envious, and regards it as an ancient building in the Holy Land, a symbol of the status of the Iron Thorn Family in Shenghui City. And now Al is faced with an urgent problem: how to make it habitable.

The biggest problem is that there are not enough people, and the people in the convoy have followed Mr. Sasha to Manny District to build a trading house, if it weren't for the restoration of this mansion and maintaining the dignity of the Iron Thorn family, Al would also be eager to follow him, after all, everything else in his heart can be put aside, and the business of the trading house is the top priority, which is also the purpose of his coming to Shenghui City.

But he also knew deep down that staying in Hawley and being a respectable nobleman was just as important to the trading house. Just like those successful businessmen who always have jewels and luxuries at home, do they really indulge in pleasure? I am afraid that not necessarily, you must know that the most important thing in the world today is appearance, then appearance, and finally appearance.

For example, if a big businessman is unpretentious and elegant, what will other outsiders think about him? This businessman has poetry and books and is of high quality? No, no, no, he will think that this businessman may have a crisis in his career and has no money to spare, otherwise how could his family be so poor? On the other hand, if the merchant's house is splendid and beautiful, the guests will breathe a sigh of relief and praise him for his strength and spending.

Just like those lovely and respectable ladies on the earth, when they go on a blind date, they first look at their shoes, then their watches, and finally their clothes, just like electronic radar, and they are connected to smart computers, and they can see at a glance what the annual income of the man sitting opposite is, what is the family background, and whether there is development. If the tax office had hired these ladies instead of using the civil service examination system in a bureaucratic manner, there would have been no tax evasion, and there would have been no such thing as a deficit in the treasury.

Then these ladies will put on various expressions based on their observations, such as a nonchalant face, "I'm sorry, I'm actually forced to go on a blind date by my family, I don't think we're a good fit." Or Ying Ying smiled, "Hello, my name is ...... It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Al actually understands this phenomenon very well, in a sense, marriage, like business, is also an equivalent exchange, exchanging most of his life for half of another person's life. Naturally, there will be a phenomenon of buying low and selling high or buying high and selling low, and occasionally there will be a breakdown of negotiations and the abrogation of peace treaties. It is possible to win both sides and lose, of course, in most cases, it is not a profit or a loss, and everyone just keeps their capital. If it's a buyer's market, buyers are likely to earn more, and if it's a seller's market, sellers are likely to earn more. Everyone wants to be a winner rather than a loser, so it's natural to be cautious and demanding when choosing a partner.

It's just that some people don't understand why their goods are sold at a high-end price in the market after they have changed hands several times. It's like an old second-hand mobile phone that has been poured on a stall for an unknown number of times, or a batch of goods made in a small workshop, why should it be sold at the price of Apple's new model? It's just that there are always some honest people in the world, who look at the label of red Fuji on the mobile phone, and think that they are distant relatives of Apple, so they stupidly empty their wallets and replace them with one in their arms, treating them as treasures and cherishing them. But sometimes the sky is unlucky, and I am secretly touched by three hands, wiped it and replaced it with a green apple label, and I will sell such an honest person in the coming year.

So Al is now opening a trading house is like dressing up a lady, of course the natural beauty is the best, if the appearance is a little worse, you can also put on makeup, anyway, wearing makeup is similar to changing people.

It's like on the stage where you can't disturb the truth, a man who can score 100 points suddenly appeared, not only has the appearance of Wu Yanzu, but also can make these ladies sit in the BMW and laugh. The female guests all turned on the lights in front of them, showing themselves in a flashy way, trying to attract the man's attention. At this time, if a female guest was wearing the world's largest diamond on her chest, the Star of Africa, wouldn't she directly kill the other female guests in seconds?

The aristocratic status of the Iron Thorn family is this "African Star", but only if the name of the Iron Thorn family is loud enough to be awe-inspiring. A shabby heir living in a dilapidated mansion, of course, is not okay.

But if you want to redecorate such a large mansion, close to a few people such as El, the old butler, Freeman, etc., of course, it is not enough. Then Al remembered a new friend of his, Mr. Hawson.

Horsen, who was on duty at the city gate, was overjoyed by Al's arrival, and his enthusiasm was really undignified and noble. A nobleman can have many faces, but coldness and elegance are definitely the two most important things.

There is no distance without coldness, and there is no nobility without distance. As for elegance, that's just the most important ingredient for their pretentiousness.

As for Howson's enthusiasm, Al had already anticipated. Guarding a city gate that no one has ever entered?It seems that this Mr. Horsen is just a cold bench character, the smallest ant in the orderly but well-ordered ruling class of Shenghui City. But such a person is full of the glory of the nobility, and he can't pull his face down to drill the camp, and he has no ability to earn the gold coins he disdains, so he can only spend his life here in vain, staring at the air in a daze. And at this time, the great nobleman who suddenly appeared, Al Edward, for him is nothing less than a flash of hope, the gospel of salvation, of course, he must hug such a thigh tightly, and dare not relax a little.

The logic of people like Horson is so strange, on the one hand, they despise the businessman's drilling, speculation, and think that it is a fly camp and a dog, and it is extremely immoral. On the one hand, they are flattering and sloppy compared to their higher nobles, thinking that this is an honor.

It's nothing more bizarre than this.

After listening to Al's troubles, Howson exclaimed exaggeratedly, "You would be bothered by such a trivial matter. ”

Al gestured, "My dear friend, even a brave lion occasionally can't sleep because of mosquito bites. ”

"Of course, of course. Huo Sen nodded again and again, and enthusiastically suggested: "If you want to find a suitable servant, you only need to go to the slave market in Poole District and buy a few slaves, be loyal and not troublesome, and make it convenient to call." ”

Al nodded, his face flushed with embarrassment, "You know, I have neither reliable subordinates nor familiar friends here. I wanted to pick the servants myself, but I couldn't find a way to find them. ”。 He added, "Know that I have only one friend here. He pulled out his voice, and unsurprisingly heard Huo Sen's reply, "Your business is my business, I will take a leave of absence to accompany you today." ”

Seeing that Huo Sen hesitated for a long time, and finally made such a decision as if he was generous, Al sneered in his heart and nodded reservedly: "Then you have to work." ”
