Chapter 244: Decision-making
"You, you're not necessarily much older than me. ”
Ruth was not convinced, and hid behind Ava and muttered a few words, but was pinched by Ava, and the poor Baba stopped talking.
Ruth is a true temperament, and she doesn't lie. When she hates Lu Guan, she just hates it, and she will not hesitate to say it bluntly.
"Ruth, should you apologize to Lu Guan?"
"Miss..."Ruth looked at Ava pitifully, she also knew that she should apologize, she should apologize if she misunderstood others, and she should apologize if she hurt others, but she always felt very awkward.
"Huh?"
Ruth pursed her lips, came to Lu Guan, put her hands in front of her, bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, it was all my bad before, please forgive me." ”
Lu Guan is a little happy now, not to mention, in fact, Ruth said before that he was quite right. There's no misunderstanding. He really has no divinity, and his combat power is not good, but who let his artifact hold it!
Mayfair watched from the sidelines, turning her head very disdainfully, whether it was Ruth or Ava, in her eyes there was no difference from ants crawling on the ground. Give it to her from before, and you can trample them to death by raising your foot casually, provided that it is her from before!
"Well, I accept your apology. By the way, is she in there, ma'am?"
Lu Guan will not be entangled with a little girl, his purpose for coming here is very direct, since the first trading house is his, he has free time now, and it is time to lay a solid foundation for himself.
"Well, Madame is in a meeting with the steward. ”
Ruth forgave her when she saw Lu Guan like this, and suddenly felt that Lu Guan was quite generous, and he would not hold on to other people's mistakes. As a result, his voice became much softer.
After all, now all the servants of the Edward family know that Lu Guan, a guy from a servant background, has successfully counterattacked his own young lady. As written in those knightly novels, the buried pearl still shines its due light.
Of course, this group of people also looks at this problem in the same way as chivalric novels.
"Very well, then take me to Madame now. ”
Lu Guan chose to come today, instead of some time ago, naturally he has his reasons. Alice didn't leave, and he certainly wouldn't have a conflict with Alice's mother. Now, Alice is gone, and today happens to be the day when the managers of the First Comptoir are meeting together, and it is time for him to shine.
It's his, and he naturally takes it back.
There are two kinds of managers in the first trading house, internal and external, and most of the external managers are those who run business and receive customers.
The internal manager organizes the accounts, manages the operation of the firm, and so on.
The two kinds of stewards sat on either side of the long table in the conference room, and Alice's mother sat in the first place, after all, she was the person who was actually in charge of the first trading house now, and there were also several nobles who Lu Guan had never seen before, who seemed to be the people who Alice's mother had pulled over to invest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our results have skyrocketed recently, and we have started to have enough surplus to develop other areas. If you have any opinions, you can talk about them. ”
Since all the main stewards were allowed to come in to discuss the council, Alice's mother must have had some idea a long time ago. Therefore, everyone talked about it, and no one immediately blurted out, and they were all guessing what to say.
Finally, an older nobleman spoke: "Now that the business of utensils is so good, and you have a large amount of orders from the Louis Chamber of Commerce, why don't we continue to deepen our cooperation with the Louis Chamber of Commerce?"
Another nobleman sitting next to the old man also nodded: "That is, we can cooperate with the Louis Chamber of Commerce, and everyone can earn money together." ”
"I'm afraid it's easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat~"
At this time, someone sighed with emotion, why should they help you with such a big stall? If you simply aim at the Frankish master equipment, although the small amount of money you make from this is already a lot of price for the First Comptoir, it is a drizzle for the Louis Chamber of Commerce.
Bang Dang!
Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and I saw Lu Guan swaggering in, and said loudly: "It's easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat, this sentence is very good." ”
At this time, a foreign steward stood up and pointed at Lu Guan fiercely: "Who are you, how can you break in casually." Did you know that this is..."
Alice's mother raised her hand to stop the steward beside her from continuing, but stood up solemnly and said, "Everyone, let me introduce you, this is also one of our investors, Lu Guan." ”
"Lu Guan, is he Lu Guan?"
"I heard that he knows His Royal Highness Asel and Princess Eliya?"
Suddenly, many nobles and stewards exchanged words, after all, this goods had never been to the First Trading House, and they thought that this person had handed over all the affairs to the lady of the Edward family in front of them!
At this time, a nobleman stood up and said with a smile: "Since it is Your Excellency Lu Guan, then please sit down, we are discussing how to go next for the firm! ”
Alice's mother knew that Lu Guanlai was not good, and that she had initiated the initiative this time, and she had to get them to come to a consensus in order to keep her position. However, she knew that this was very difficult, and Lu Guan would not sit still.
Alice had already gone to the west to experience at this time, and Lu Guan chose to come to the door at this time, and the intention was too obvious.
Keeping the position of the first trading house, she can more or less make Lu Guan cast a mouse, Alice can't turn back, she has to at least think about her daughter.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
Lu Guan casually pulled a bench and sat down, but Mayfair resolutely did not sit, and there was not even a cold bench with goose down cushions, and there was a god horse to sit on. She would rather stand than sit with a bunch of scumbags and lower her status.
"Just right, I'll also hear what the First Firm is going to do next?"
Alice's mother also paused, and looked at all the aristocrats and investors around her, she knew that there was no need to hang people's appetites at this time, and she hid it.
"The Louis Chamber of Commerce is a tiger, it will not sit back and watch us get stronger, although for the time being we have increased a lot of income through orders with them, but sooner or later they will swallow us in one bite. ”
Alice's mother still has this insight, and she also knows that the other party's huge chamber of commerce covering the entire territory of Camelot definitely has a plan, but the first business house is increasingly difficult, and she must keep her position and make achievements, so she will take a risky move, intending to get more funds through the Louis Chamber of Commerce, and then she will get rid of the other party.
At this time, some people nodded in agreement, and some were silent, each with their own calculations in their hearts.
