Chapter Seventy-Eight: Luke
After the initial negotiation with Bennett, Roy needs to send someone to check everything and make sure that there is no problem before the two parties sign the final contract.
Three days later.
Roy signed his name on a string of contracts, and Bennett next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they lost money on credit this time, they didn't lose all of it, and they returned a wave of blood, and the headquarters shouldn't blame him too much, and he wouldn't be so ashamed.
After Roy signed the contract, he went to the manor and met the old butler Luke.
For the guards and servants, Roy did not dismiss them directly, but gave them a probationary period, and when the probationary period ended, if there were no problems, they could stay.
As for the old butler, Roy also did not dismiss.
Because in the past two days, he has seen the ability of this old housekeeper, the old housekeeper is meticulous in doing things, no matter how big or small, he can complete it just right. And he will think about the master, not all of them are tool people.
As for his identity, Luke explained that he was not Sandy's confidant, nor was he cultivated by Sandy, and Sandy didn't spend as much time at home as he was in the company.
Luke used to be the butler of a noble family, serving two generations of nobles, and then after the nobles fell down, he came to Joumbi City and was favored by Sandy.
So there's nothing wrong with identity. Of course, Roy will not listen to one side of the word, he asked Henry to help investigate Luke, and then set an assessment deadline for Luke in his heart, if there is a problem within the time limit, then even if he has the ability, Roy will not use it.
Roy came over this time to give Luke a task, asking him to find an orc construction team to renovate the castle.
As for how to transform, Roy only gave some rough ideas, and it was up to him how to do it. This was the first assignment Roy gave him.
After all, with a salary of tens of thousands of yuan every year, you have to prove yourself.
However, before the castle was remodeled, the entire manor was looted by Roy in case anything was missed.
But I didn't expect it to be a bit of a windfall-
Although valuable items such as cash and jewelry were taken away by Sandy. But there are also some things that are not easy to take, but very valuable to be left behind.
For example, in the wine cellar, there are also a lot of beer and red wine. Although Roy can't look at it, it can be worth forty or fifty thousand.
For example, two steam cars and a horse-drawn carriage. Although it is not a new car, it can add up to tens of thousands. Roy hadn't seen all three cars before, and he didn't know where Luke got them.
And most importantly, Roy finds a lot of tobacco in a locked storage room!
Tobacco is a rarity in the United Kingdom of Stokato, where tobacco is not produced and very little is imported.
Roy didn't know where he got the tobacco. Listening to Luke, Sandy spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy these tobaccos at that time, and now the rest should be worth 80,000 or 90,000.
Then all these things add up, there are 200,000!
Roy was shocked.
How much did he spend on this estate and company!
That's 200,000 yuan? This gave Roy a somewhat unreal feeling.
And, to Roy's surprise, Luke knew the value of these things! He didn't take it privately, you could say he was professional. But he didn't even tell Bennett, isn't that a little unreasonable?
When Roy asked the question, Luke's answer surprised him.
"I've been a housekeeper all my life, and I've never taken anything from my master's house without permission. I will not, and cannot break, the credibility I have maintained for many years. ”
"My children and family died unexpectedly while I was still serving a noble master, so I don't need much money, as long as I can maintain normal expenses."
"As for why I didn't tell Bennett, it's because I don't want him to take advantage. Anyway, I have worked with Mr. Sandy for several years, and we have a bit of a relationship. And Mr. Bennett strongly encouraged Mr. Sandy to go to the bank to take out a mortgage, and if it weren't for him, maybe Mr. Sandy wouldn't be so miserable now. Although Mr. Sandy and I have terminated their cooperation, I have not left the manor after all, and this is my last breath of relief for Mr. Sandy. ”
Listening to Luke's words, Roy had some new understanding of the old butler.
Persistent, intelligent, principled, and emotional.
This made Roy feel even more that he was right to keep him.
After handing over the manor's renovation to Luke, Roy didn't stay at the manor for long. He came to the Jumian Company.
Before taking over Sandy's business, he said hello to Puran - Sandy's factory and other industries would be sold to Jumian at a discount.
Roy tells them that although the Giant Cotton Textile Factory is now the first and only textile factory in Qiongbi City, it still can't be proud.
Because the world is big, there is more than just one Qiongbi City.
They can't be like Sandy, who is only satisfied with this one-third of an acre of land, and when the time comes, they will definitely get out of Jumbi City and go to the entire United Kingdom of Stokato, and even to the world!
When others say this, everyone may not believe it, but when Roy speaks, people feel inexplicably trusted, after all, the achievements of Jumian Textile Company are inseparable from Roy.
Everyone was excited by Roy's words, so they agreed on the textile mill's plan to continue expanding. As a result, Sandy's property other than real estate was sold by Roy to the Giant Cotton Company at a low price of 300,000 yuan in the name of Tulip Candy.
Sandy's factory was sold for 300,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan of goods were looted from Sandy's estate, worth a total of 500,000 yuan, and he spent 500,000 yuan to buy these things.
In other words, Roy seems to have prostituted a manor for nothing?
Accidents, all accidents! It was definitely not Roy's calculations, after all, he didn't count that the manor had so many good things.
As for those Sandy assets that were sold to Jumian Company for 300,000 yuan...... Ahem, it's all trivial, it's not important.
After dealing with these things, Roy didn't stop. Because he still has some things to work out, and that is the placement of employees left behind by Sandy Textiles.
At that time, Puran's suggestion was to dismiss them directly, after all, those workers could only weave manually, and their craftsmanship was not used in the giant cotton textile factory.
But Roy said that there was no need to dismiss, no matter what, these people have textile experience, and there is still a difference between them and ordinary people.
If it is trained for a period of time, it can be used by the giant cotton textile factory.
After all, the textile factory still needs to expand, and there are not many workers in Qiongbi City who are good at machine weaving, and it is likely that there will be a shortage of people at that time, so it is necessary to take precautions.
This matter is left to Roy.
In the name of Jumian Textile Factory, Roy issued an announcement to these employees - "Notice of Application for Training in Steam Textile Technology at Their Own Expense"
