Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0445: Joining the Game
On the way back, Dai Xiuxiu woke up from her shock when she was blown by the cool breeze at night. She wrapped her coat tighter and turned to Luo Kun and said, "Master Luo, what do you think our boss does? Why does he have a bodyguard with a gun?"
"You just went abroad and didn't know that there are a lot of people who play with guns in the countries of Ying and Ying, much more than in our country. It's not uncommon to have guns here. Before I came here, I went to the country of Ying and stayed on a farm. The farmers and farmers there all had guns."
"They all have guns, that's very dangerous. That drunk guy also has a gun. If it wasn't for the boss's people who controlled him, would I be in danger?" Dai Xiuxiu said with lingering fear.
Luo Kun recalled what happened just now and said, "It's probably fine. The boss should have noticed that there was something wrong with that person earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded you not to block the view of the gate."
"Yeah, why did the boss ask me to do this?"
"Aren't you from the Northeast? You were on the front line against Soviet revisionism. Didn't you receive military training when you were in school?"
"The Northeast is a big place, not every place is a border. I'm from Bingcheng, and I'm not very old. I was still young during those tense years. I only participated in military training when I was in junior high school. I never even touched a gun. I just marched in a formation with a wooden stick."
"It's a pity for you that you didn't catch up. Before I joined the army, I was a village militiaman. I played with mortars, anti-aircraft guns, and recoilless guns. Let me tell you, I even played with that howitzer..."
"Brother Luo, let's not talk about the past for now, let's talk about the present."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about what's happening right now." Luo Kun said indifferently, "The boss wants you to not block the shooting range. His bodyguards outside the door are already keeping an eye on that drunkard and will shoot if there's any unusual movement."
"I see."
Dai Xiuxiu responded, seeming to be thinking about something.
The next day, Longmenzhen's business was better than the day before, with a higher occupancy rate. A total of 135 guests were served at noon, with a turnover of 401.75 pounds and an average customer spending of nearly 3 pounds.
Nan Yi heard a lot of good reviews from the guests. The food at Longmenzhen suits their preferences. Moreover, Nan Yi observed carefully and found that 39 guests had been there yesterday.
The business was a little too good, which was beyond Nan Yi's expectations.
Seeing Street and Dai Xiuxiu busying around, Nan Yi thought about giving them a raise next month when the salary is paid. There is no need to add regular waiters for the time being. There are only ten tables in total, and three waiters are a bit too much. There is a bit of excess staff, but part-time staff can be added.
Nan Yi wrote another recruitment notice and posted it. Perhaps the unemployment situation in Eagle Country was really serious. This time, as soon as he posted it, someone was already standing behind him waiting.
"Hiring people?"
"Yes."
"I can?"
"Are you sure?"
Nan Yi looked at the woman in front of him. She had a pink afro, and her eyebrows were shaved off twice on each side. The three letters "FUC" were painted diagonally above the eyebrows. She had black eyeshadow, a black nose ring on her nose, and her lips were also painted a very conspicuous black.
There was a black collar tied around her neck with stainless steel spikes on it, and a large ring at the Adam's apple, giving the impression that the woman in front of her was a cellar, waiting for someone to pull the ring to open her;
He was wearing a black vest on his upper body, which should be a size smaller. Because the mountain was too high, the hem just barely reached the foot of the mountain. He was wearing a pair of jeans on his lower body, which were cut above the knees. On his feet were American military combat boots from World War II, with yellow canvas boot shafts on the outside.
The woman had a great figure. If you wiped off the makeup on her face and removed the weird parts, she would become a very beautiful and sexy woman. Nan Yi thought her face looked familiar, very much like Jennifer Connelly during her time on the wooden horse.
"Yes, I need a job."
The woman was chewing gum, and her face showed no sign of lack of income at all.
"I'm hiring waiters here, not punk young women." Nan Yi shrugged.
Nan Yi believed that there were many kind-hearted, self-disciplined and untainted girls among those who smoked, drank and went to bars. However, he knew that they should go to restaurants to eat, not public toilets.
"I've lost interest in punk. If you don't like what I'm wearing, I can change it all."
"Okay, what's your name?"
"Elizabeth."
"OK, Elizabeth, please change your clothes and put on normal makeup, or don't put on any makeup at all. Come over at 5pm and try it. If you can do it, you can stay. If not, you can leave at any time and I will pay you."
"Thank you, you are a good man."
A punk girl named Elizabeth gave Nan Yi a nice guy card.
Nan Yi was secretly happy. The Good Guy Card was a rare thing for him. This was the first one he had received in his two lifetimes. He received the Bad Guy Card quite often.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi went to Regent Street.
Soon his car arrived at the door of Jinggexuan on Regent Street. A person who had been watching and waiting at the door saw Nan Yi's car appear and immediately ran into the house.
"Nansheng, we should rent a few new cars as backup. These cars have already caught the eyes of other people." The school beauty sitting in the passenger seat keenly noticed the person who was watching.
"Yeah." Nan Yi nodded and said, "You decide."
As he said that, Nan Yi got out of the car. Wu Zaisheng just happened to come to the door of Jinggexuan and walked towards Nan Yi with a smile on his face.
"Ayi, here I come."
"I'm sorry, the store was too busy and kept you waiting for a long time." Nan Yi said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay. The time we agreed on hasn't arrived yet. Come, let's talk inside." Wu Zaisheng waved his hands and walked inside towards Nan Yi.
Following Wu Zaisheng to his office and pushing open the door, I saw two old men inside, Wu Jingyuan and the housekeeper Ada.
Seeing Nan Yi appear, Wu Jingyuan nodded at him, then waved and said, "Yizi, come and sit down."
Wu Jingyuan showed a kind smile, as amiable as the old man next door.
"Grandpa, why are you here too?" Nan Yi walked quickly towards Wu Jingyuan, stopped in front of him, bent over and said.
"Don't stand, sit down and talk." Wu Jingyuan patted the armrest of a chair next to him and said.
"Why."
Nan Yi agreed and sat next to Wu Jingyuan. The housekeeper Ada immediately took out a new cup from the tea table, washed it first, and then poured him a cup of tea.
"Ah Sheng told me your idea yesterday when he went back. Yizi, I know you are a great talent, and since you are a great talent, you should be treated accordingly. Ah Sheng is still young after all, and he has not yet learned to be generous in his conduct and work. Now I will make a new offer for you, and you will definitely be satisfied."
There is a sense of unquestionableness in Wu Jingyuan's words. What does "you will definitely be satisfied" mean? His subtext is actually telling Nan Yi that one should be sensible and not push for more.
Of course, Nan Yi estimated that Wu Jingyuan would offer a condition that he would definitely agree to under normal circumstances.
"Master, you say."
"The starting salary will double to £500,000 a year. As for the autonomy you mentioned, I can also give it to you. In the past, the system of Jardine Matheson Bank was too rigid and its business scope was too narrow. It is time for reform.
Jardine Matheson Bank can no longer just serve Chinese people living in the UK, but also needs to expand its customer base. Whether they are white or anyone else, as long as they are the right person, they can become our customers.
Yizai , I hope you can take the position of deputy manager at Jardine Matheson Bank to develop new loan customers for us, and also develop investment business. You will take the lead in establishing a business development department, and you will also serve as the director of the development department. You can get a 3% dividend on the profits of this department. "
"Too low. I want eight points. I can guarantee that I can bring the bank a profit of over ten million pounds within a year. If I fail to reach that goal, I don't want a single cent of the dividend."
"Okay, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, eight points is eight points." Wu Jingyuan agreed readily.
He would definitely agree. Why wouldn't he? The annual profit of Jardine Matheson Bank is only a little over 10 million pounds. Nan Yi's promise can be said to double the bank's profit. Wu Jingyuan definitely has the courage to give 800,000 out of 10 million to others.
Dividends are not shares, so just give them away.
If you don't want to pay, it's very simple. The accountant is from the Wu family. He can play around with the cost and expenditure and come up with a disgusting number that's only 1 penny off.
This kind of clever trick is often used by many bosses who lack vision.
"I shall serve the king as I eat his salary. If you treat me like a great man, I shall repay you like a great man."
"Okay, Yizai, I'll wait and see." Wu Jingyuan smiled, "Ah Sheng, you should learn from Yizai in the future. Although you are a few years older than him, you may not be as experienced as him in doing things."
"Okay, Grandpa, I will definitely learn from Ayi with an open mind." Wu Zaisheng agreed, and then said to Nan Yi: "Ayi, you have to give me more guidance in the future."
“Learn from each other and learn from each other.”
"Yizai, when can you start working?" Wu Jingyuan asked.
"Mr. Wu, please give me a week to take care of my affairs. I will report to Jardine Matheson Bank next Monday, which is the 11th."
"Sure, no problem."
Wu Jingyuan agreed readily, then chatted with Nan Yi for a few more words and left, leaving Wu Zaisheng and Nan Yi to continue chatting.
"Ayi, since we are about to work together, I will tell you about the situation of Jardine Matheson Bank. The current president of the bank is my second uncle Wu Fuye. He doesn't go to the bank very often, but he has two confidants in the bank.
One is Zhang Fuxin, who is his secretary; the other is Jin Ke, who is responsible for the loan review and issuance of Yield Bank. The last time Boss Ye’s loan was not going smoothly, it was because of him that it was blocked.”
"Jing Ke? Same name as Qing Ke from the Warring States Period?"
"It's not that Jing, it's Ge Jinjin." Wu Zaisheng explained: "Also, Zhang Fuxin is a woman, not a man. She is two years younger than me and very capable. You have to be more careful about this person."
"Is this woman married?"
"How did you know? We've been married for almost three years."
"It's quite normal. As soon as you hear the name, you know it must have been changed later. Even if the parents like boys very much, they would at most name him Zhengnan or Shengnan, not Fuxin.
The name Fuxin has a certain meaning in terms of the five elements. Fu belongs to water and Xin belongs to gold. It has a good meaning. The man probably asked someone to look at it and then changed the name for her. "
Wu Zaisheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, the real situation is similar to what you guessed. This is the name that Zhang Fuxin's father-in-law asked someone to change. Her husband's name is Wang Bozheng. The Wang family is also a large Chinese family in Eagle Country, with more than a dozen shops on Bond Street."
"Oh, New Street or Old Street?"
Bond Street is divided into New Bond Street and Old Bond Street. It is a famous street, slightly less well-known than the Champs-Elysées.
"Both. The Wang family came from Lijiapo and are mainly engaged in the fashion department store business. They have the agency rights for several luxury brands and are also engaged in the real estate business."
"So, the Wang family is not bad. Then why is Zhang Fuxin still working outside instead of going home to help?"
"I'm not sure about this. It may be that my second uncle helped her in the past and was grateful to her for her help." Wu Zaisheng was evasive and obviously did not tell the truth.
Nan Yi didn't ask any further questions, just nodded and talked about other topics.
The two chatted until about 4:30, and Nan Yi said goodbye and returned to Longmenzhen. As soon as he arrived at the store, he saw Elizabeth standing there chatting quietly with Dai Xiuxiu and Street.
Elizabeth's image has changed drastically. The pieces on her body have been taken off and her hair has turned blonde, which should be the natural color of her hair. Her clothes are still revealing, but they are already within the normal range.
"Elizabeth?"
"It's me. Is this outfit okay now?" Elizabeth turned around and said when she heard Nan Yi's voice.
"Very good, come with me, you need to fill out some information."
When it comes to beauty, Nan Yi has always been within the normal range for men. Like countless old perverts, he likes women who have nothing to do with him to wear revealing clothes, so that his eyes can get some pleasure.
Nan Yi found a form from the cashier counter and handed it to Elizabeth. "Fill in the blanks above. You don't have to fill in your age and marital status. I have no intention of offending your privacy. Just indicate in the blank column at the bottom that you are over 18 years old. You are 18 years old, right?"
Part-time employees are different from regular employees. There is no rule in the Eagle Country that prohibits people under the age of 18 from working part-time outside, but there are regulations on working hours.
"Got it." Elizabeth looked at the form, picked up a pen and started filling it out.
Nan Yi took a glance and saw that in the name column, she filled in her full name, Elizabeth Hurley. After he converted the name into Chinese in his mind, he felt a sense of familiarity.
After taking a glance, Nan Yi stopped looking and walked into the kitchen.
"Lao Luo, have you decided who to invite over?"
"I've thought about it. I want to invite one of my former colleagues over. He doesn't have a good job right now, so he works in a private restaurant. I think he should be willing to come over."
"Okay, then give me your name and address, and tell me something that only you two know, so that the person I send can verify his identity."
"good."
Luo Kun went to find paper and pen, and Nan Yi went to Douglas who was working and said a few words to him...
