Chapter 120: Table Discussions

The family dining at Earl Court Queensland is a mix of East and West, because Li Fushou likes to eat Chinese food the most, but he also likes to eat steak, cheese, foie gras, smoked fish and salmon caviar, so he has formed a unique dining style.

Dinner is halfway through

The atmosphere at the table was lively, the gentlemen and ladies talked politely and quietly, and the sound of cups, plates, knives and forks could not be heard during the meal, and the etiquette of European aristocrats was difficult to learn, which was the result of everyone's hard work for a long time.

The only exception is Li Fushou, who is struggling to solve the second plate of roast mutton, eating a mouthful of oily "bars".

Then he was satisfied and pushed the plate with only the bones left, took the hot towel and wiped his mouth, changed to a hot towel to wipe his hands, and sighed comfortably and said; "Lao Wangtou's skills are really good, it seems that it is time to give him a raise."

"The little one has thanked the old man here, and this bad old man doesn't know which blessing he has cultivated in his life, so he will let him thank him." The housekeeper Li An took the plate diligently and handed it to the maid behind him.

This maid is Xia Guan, Xia Guan took the leftover plate with a low mood, and looked at the waiter not far away sitting at the dining table and talking to Tian Niu'er in a whisper, laughing and laughing, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

What a clever person the housekeeper Li An is, he immediately noticed the subtle fluctuations in his emotions, and glared at Xia Guan fiercely with his eyes, and the warning was very obvious;

Girl, you should be vigilant for me, otherwise you won't need to serve here.

The housekeeper Li An controls the right to wait for the maid for dinner, and he can be replaced at any time if he doesn't perform well, which is the most concerned thing for all the personal maids, and no one dares to offend him.

Don't look at the girl who flies up the branch and becomes a phoenix, but if you are a maid for a day, you have to guard the duty of a maid.

At mealtime

There can only be two maids around the master to take turns to serve, pouring wine, cloth vegetables, handing towels, and wide seats, and other maids can't mess around, otherwise the rules will be broken.

Madame is also served by two maids, and everyone else is served by one maid, so not everyone has the opportunity to be in the shift.

All the maids want to serve the master, and retreat to serve the lady, and the others don't care.

This time I came to Europa, and only the old man brought 2 personal girls with him, plus the beautiful black slave Chrissy, Xia Guan, Qiu Yue and the British personal maid in the castle, how many people are there in the fingers?

Two a day, the performance is almost a week's round.

Although Xiang Niu'er, Tian Niu'er and the waiter girl are now promoted to aunt treatment, there are still a lot of big girls left, and they are all fiercely competing for the two positions that the master is waiting for.

If you don't do a good job, you have to change people.

Xia Guan saw the housekeeper Li An glaring fiercely, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly gave Wanfu a begging look.

She is the body of the young lady, and now she is finally sober.

Where there are people, there is competition, and there are rivers and lakes.

Li Fushou was unaware of all this.

Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, he was talking to Zheng Canghai and asked him to stay in the UK on some matters.

"Brother Canghai, the time to come to Europa this time is too tight, I am busy communicating with the upper class people in London all day long, and the merger and acquisition of European banks by Huitong Bank is on paper, which requires you to collect detailed information and background of European banks preparing for mergers and acquisitions in the future, and do a solid job in pre-investigation in order to take targeted strategies, you must know that the acquisition of banks is not the first step, but the last step, and success is often in a large number of tedious and meticulous work before."

Zheng Canghai didn't dare to slack off, and nodded again and again; "I understand the lowly position, but how Mr. Kestner and I should divide the labor, and where the boundaries of our respective powers are, please show me this point."

"The two of you are the second general of Huitong Bank, and the comprehensive introduction of the mature banking business philosophy of the British style is the main direction of the reform of Huitong Bank, which is led by Mr. Kestner."

Li Fushou's slender fingers tapped on the dining table, and he said while thinking; "In terms of the specific division of labor, you are the vice chairman and executive director of Huitong Bank, and you belong to Mr. Kestner's superior, but in terms of banking business, although you let him do it, you mainly do a good job of financial and personnel supervision.

All branches of Huitong Bank are handled according to this, and our own people serve as branch supervisors, and the foreigners hired are responsible for specific banking affairs, supervise each other, make progress together, and strengthen and expand Huitong Bank business.

The middle-level and low-level banking personnel should also be equipped with two sets of Huayang teams as much as possible, and try to cultivate our own talents.

I will continue to send you elite students from Australia to enrich the grassroots staff of Huitong Bank, and the same is true for Normandy Import and Export Company.

Even if we spend a little more personnel costs, after a few years, we can cultivate our own talents, and foreigners can kick them away.

I warn you to reduce internal friction, do not pull back in specific business, in terms of rewards and punishments for specific Huitong Bank personnel, in accordance with the principle of who handles and who is responsible, each loan has a specific responsible person, approver, approval supervisor, and ask you if there is a problem.

Don't forget that our Hongmen disciples have strict precepts, those who dare to betray their ancestors and forget their ancestors, those who dare to eat inside and outside, those who dare to be greedy for ink and property, and those who dare to convey benefits can be killed, and they will be spurned by all people after death, and they will not be buried in the ancestral grave forever. ”

Li Fushou's tone became stern, and the restaurant was like a gust of cold wind, and everyone couldn't help but stop the knives and forks in their hands with a solemn expression, and the atmosphere rose and fell with his tone.

A layer of fine cold sweat broke out on Zheng Canghai's head when he listened, nodded like pounding garlic, and wiped it with a hot towel with one hand.

"Of course, there must be a reward if there is a punishment." Li Fushou's tone softened, like a ray of summer sunshine blowing away the bitter cold; "Brother Canghai will preside over me in Europe for a few years, and when Huitong Bank is running smoothly and branches are opened all over Europa, then if you want to retire and talk to me, it will be reused."

"Sir, please rest assured, the lowly position is willing to take root in Europe and contribute, no matter how many years, as long as the master feels that the lowly position is still competent, the lowly position is willing to continue to work."

"Huh...... Okay, industry is diligent, it's not too late to learn. ”

Li Fushou smiled with relief, which made people return to the sunny early summer, who knew that his words below made people cold; "Brother Canghai is in Europe, Mr. Kestner is in Australia, and I will send a senior member to the United States in the next step.

In this way, after a few years of hard work, the ideal of Huitong Bank can be realized, and it will become a strong support for the business of Red River Valley to the world.

You don't have to worry about it, the children in Australia will get the best education, even if they have children in Europe, they can be sent to Australia to be trained, and the Red River Valley will hire the best European and American teachers to implement elite aristocratic education, so that the children can grow up to be excellent successors.

Brother Canghai, don't worry, the next generation will definitely be stronger than us, isn't it...... Hahahaha......"

After some flattening and pinching, Li Fushou raised his head and laughed, Zheng Canghai and Mai Debang had a cautious smile on their faces, and they looked inevitably a little bitter.

Originally, there were some careful thoughts about letting the birds fly, but they had already disappeared at this moment, and they didn't dare to have delusions.

Knowing that it was not over yet, Li Fushou instructed Fan Zhongzhai; "Zhong Zhai, you talk to the Australian Gate Torture Hall, organize a group of upright and upright action experts to set up a branch in Europe, this is the key area of our future economic development, it is inevitable that there will be some unscrupulous children, no matter who finds the crime plus one degree, all of them will be dealt with thunder to deter Xiaoxiao."

"Obey the order, handle it immediately." Fan Zhongzhai stood up and replied in a solemn voice.

Li Fushou nodded and said again; "Okay, in the future, as the contact person of the relevant parties, the information from the rudder of the European Torture Hall will be contacted and reported by you on a full-time basis, and the instructions of the headquarters will also be conveyed by you on a full-time basis, and this will be recorded after you go back."

"The lowly duty is understood, recorded, and full-time is responsible."

"Well, that's good."

Li Fushou nodded, and after eating a few fruit platters, he picked up a hot towel, wiped his hands and threw them on the table, got up and said; "I'm full, you can continue to use it slowly."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and everyone at the table put down the knives and forks in their hands in unison, which meant the end of today's dinner.

From start to finish

Li Fushou didn't explain to his wife Gu Liuyan, why did he get a new room?

Whether he understands or not, he doesn't need to explain, and he doesn't have to explain.

is so domineering, just so domineering, but it still makes women convinced and worships the five bodies.

Li Fushou is tall and handsome, rich and powerful, wise and domineering, so that the women in the house can't afford to resist at all, so they can only turn into finger wrapping softness, hoping to get a little more grace.

Resistant, non-existent.

After dinner

Li Fushou usually moved his body with the guards, and then returned to the study to deal with some affairs, until it was time to go to bed at night, and went to the aunts in each room to take turns to rest.

Today, it was supposed to be Fiona's turn, Li Fushou commanded with a faint expression; "I'm a little tired today, so I'll go to Madame's room and rest, and you can just go and reply."

"The slave obeys." The housekeeper Li Xi took the order and left.

At Queensland Castle, competition is everywhere.

The housekeepers Ang Lee, Li Xi and others who came to Europe this time encountered a strong challenge from the housekeeper Lawrence at Queensland Castle, which made them feel a serious crisis.

The veteran butler Lawrence was specially selected by Sir Ferdinand, and with Sir Ferdinand's demanding taste, the butler Lawrence was able to receive a high salary of 60 pounds a year to manage the castle with many valuable collections, which is enough to prove his excellent ability and special professionalism.

Lawrence is an accomplished graduate of the Royal Butler's College and has been in the business for more than 20 years, having served only two masters, serving the first for two years, and then being recruited by Sir Ferdinand with the consent of the original owner, and serving in this beautiful castle for less than two years.

Therefore, Li Fushou is his third employer.

The most important performance of the well-known English butler in Europe is loyalty, tight-mouthedness, professional and meticulous service, widely praised by the European aristocracy, and proud to have an English butler.

Frequent job hopping is not an excellent British butler label, and it is common to serve only one master for life, so after being retained by Li Fushou, Lawrence really tried his best to hold several successful luxury night banquets in a row, which really won Li Fushou's high praise.

His annual salary has also risen from £60 to £5, which is equivalent to the annual salary of an ordinary British town mayor or county police chief, which is already a high-paid family among civilians.

Of course, if you compare it with the aristocracy, it is still far behind.

The butlers, Ang Lee and Lee Hee, smelled the serious crisis, and cheered up like vigilant watchdogs, and both of them had £7 a month, or £4 a year, which was £1 less than Lawrence.

The point is that it's not a pound thing, it's that the lord has favored this English bastard, and that's the worst thing that feels like being a house slave leader.

Among the famous housekeepers of the Red Fort, only the chief butler Li Pingyue has a silver of 0 pounds, and his outstanding contribution is 2 pretty maids, and now three of them have been promoted to aunts, completely securing the position of the chief butler.

Ang Lee and Li Xi are in the second gear, and the other housekeepers only have 4~5 pounds of silver per month, which has opened up the gap.
