Chapter 303 Gold, a Lot of Gold (1)
"No rush, there are still a few things I'll leave to you." Yang Cheng waved his hand, signaling Carson not to leave.
"It's the master."
"You go to the Royal Bank of Scotland to open an exclusive account for the manor, which will be managed by you, and I will transfer a sum of 30 million pounds into it. This fund includes the budget for completely renovating the castle, and purchasing a set of tools for the manor, etc. Daily expenses, of course, the servants’ wages and bonuses will also be paid out of the account, I figured it would be enough for the next 2-3 years, of course, if it is not enough, I will make up for it.”
Yang Cheng is very familiar with this set. In the United States, his Jason Manor and ranch are all taken care of by White. In this regard, White has never let him down. I believe Carson will do better than White. outstanding.
"Okay, sir, do you have any special requirements regarding the vehicle configuration of the manor?" Carson asked responsibly.
"No requirement, you don't need to worry about the car I usually drive, I will buy another one, you just need to buy the necessary vehicles for the manor, for my official trip I want a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and buy 3 more for The vehicles used to receive guests can be Gustus, Bentley Mulsanne, or Mercedes-Benz, anyway, it doesn’t matter, and my bodyguards need at least 2 Range Rover, and you can buy the others.” Yang Cheng raised his hand In the field of top luxury passenger cars, there are only two brands to choose from, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. He is really tired of sitting.
"Understood, master, I will arrange it. Then, regarding food, do you have any taboos?" Carson took out his notebook to prevent himself from missing important information, and wrote it down one by one. This is what he needs to know. In the future, I will never allow myself and my subordinates to make mistakes.
Yang Cheng shook his head, but then said, "Hiring me a chef who is proficient in many Chinese cuisines, I also need to change my taste occasionally."
"Okay, I will familiarize myself with the master's habits as soon as possible, so as not to make mistakes."
Yang Cheng lightly smiled and said in relief, "Carson, don't be nervous. People who have been with me for a long time know that I am very open-minded to those around me. As long as I don't make mistakes of principle, I won't blame some small mistakes. You can also tell the servants about this after you go down, you don’t have to be too cautious in doing things, as long as you do things honestly, I can still promise a stable future.”
Carson solemnly thanked you, "I thank you, master, on behalf of the servants. This is their greatest wish."
"Okay, I've said it all, don't be too serious. Let me tell you a few more words about the candidate for the maid. The biggest hobby in my life is women. I'm not afraid to tell you about beautiful women. The reason why I choose a maid is because I have When the need is met, it can be met, so this candidate must be cautious, I don't want things that will hurt my face, do you understand?" Yang Cheng patted Carson's shoulder, staring intently at Carson's slightly With an old face, as long as there is a hint of hesitation or disdain on Carson's face, he will immediately replace the butler. He doesn't need the butler of the Virgin Mary by his side.
Fortunately, Carson did not disappoint him, as if what Yang Cheng said was just a very ordinary thing, "I understand, sir, I will carefully screen the maid candidates, and then sign a secret agreement with her, so that she will not use this to try Higher thought."
Yang Cheng smiled with satisfaction, "You are very kind, Carson, and I hope that our relationship in the next few decades will be happy and complete."
"I hope too, sir." Carson bowed slightly, echoing without any emotional fluctuations.
. . . . . .
The renovation of the Beihai Manor started from the outside, as for the interior renovation, Yang Cheng had to wait until Yang Cheng left the UK, otherwise it would affect his normal rest.
The entire manor has a vast area, but there are only two large buildings. One is the main building, which is the main castle where Yang Cheng lives, rests and receives guests. Behind the main building, between the forest and the back garden, there is another building with The main building is a small two-story castle connected by a corridor. It is a servant castle. The servants including the butler live here, and it is also used to store sundries in the villa.
The stables are connected with the first floor of the servant building. 100 years ago, the stables were equivalent to modern garages.
If you take a helicopter and look down from the air, you will find that the entire castle building is connected with each other and the deformed Z-shaped is inlaid in the garden. However, due to disrepair, the front and rear gardens and gardens of the castle have become messy, and the shape can no longer be seen, but it is Wildflowers and weeds are growing very vigorously.
Yang Cheng wandered around the manor alone, pushing away every room and inspecting it. This is his territory, and he should be familiar with every inch of it.
Every time I met a servant during the period, I would stop and say hello to Yang Cheng respectfully, which annoyed him so much that he regretted asking Carson to cancel the restrictions on the scope of the servant's activities. No wonder according to the rules of a hundred years ago, except for cleaning the castle in the morning During the period, only the butler's personal servants and head servants can appear in the master's living area.
From this point of view, those complicated rules and harsh requirements are not only because of capitalism's discrimination against the working people of the lower classes.
But in order to show his closeness to the people, he specifically ordered Carson to cancel this rule, and only asked the servants not to show up at will when there were guests in the castle. Yang Cheng suddenly felt that it was unnecessary and shot himself in the foot.
He visited the kitchen, the basement, and the indoor swimming pool. Of course, the swimming pool has not been cleaned up yet, and the water has not been released. He has no conditions for activities, so he went back to the study, lit a cigar, and thought about Sky TV.
The occasion was wrong last night. I just drank a glass of wine with Edmund, and I didn't have a chance to mention the acquisition of the shares in their family's hands. It seems that I need to arrange another time through Prince William to talk in detail.
I learned from William that Edmund's family holds nearly 4.4% of the shares of Sky TV, which is not a small amount, equivalent to one-ninth of his expected target. I am very dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of suppressing profits and not allowing dividends. I feel that it is useless to keep the shares in my hands. It just so happens that the capital chain is relatively tight recently, and I have the intention to cash out.
It happened to be lucky to meet Yang Cheng at this time. Sometimes Yang Cheng wondered if the aura of the protagonist was too strong, but who cares, at least the 4.4% of the shares should not be difficult to get.
Except for the shares in Edmond's hands, according to the analysis of the surveyed data, the remaining shares that Yang Cheng may get are basically concentrated in the hands of British investment banks. This group of vampires are all pragmatic guys. It is easier to talk about the price, at least it is much easier than facing those small shareholders who are pointing at the shares for a meal. From this point of view, the trip to the UK is much smoother than expected.
However, if there are no twists and surprises at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to a trip to the UK for nothing?
. . .
On December 9th, London, which had finally cleared up for a day, was once again shrouded in dark clouds, and the pattering drizzle spread over the entire land of England. The coast of the North Sea where Yang Cheng is located is no exception, and because it is located by the sea, the water vapor The rain is a bit stronger than in London. If you look at the castle from a distance through the rain, the eerie sense of mystery will make your bones tingle. It looks like a vampire's lair. People dare not approach.
Of course, people in the castle would not have such absurd ideas. Early in the morning, perhaps because of a sudden change of bed, Yang Cheng tossed and turned all night, half dreaming and half awake, sleeping in a restless way, and was blasted by thunder several times. The shock was so great that Yang Cheng, who got up early in the morning, startled the servants who were cleaning, and the thick dark circles under his eyes were comparable to zombies.
It's not yet 7 o'clock, the castle is brightly lit, the servants are busy cleaning the temporarily unoccupied area in the castle, while Yang Cheng is sitting leisurely at the head of the long table in the small restaurant, acting as the grand lord, breakfast It is the simplest bread with butter and fried eggs, and occasionally drinking a sip of hot milk, warming my stomach, I feel alive.
Carson has been waiting behind him. Seeing that the milk in Yang Cheng's cup had bottomed out, he immediately refilled Yang Cheng with the oversized stainless steel thermos.
This small restaurant is for the owner's daily use. The large restaurant is generally not opened except for guests, so the decoration style is more life-like, not as solemn as other areas in the castle, and it looks more warm. The wall facing Yang Cheng is newly installed On one side of the TV, the price tag on it hadn't been taken off yet, presumably it was installed yesterday. Carson, the butler, thought everything was comprehensive, so that Yang Cheng wouldn't be bored while eating.
At this time, a program called BBC Breakfast was playing on TV. It was similar to the status of Good Morning America in the United States. It covered current affairs, entertainment, sports, business news and other fields. It was the morning program with the highest ratings in the UK.
Yang Cheng spread butter on the bread, and looked up at the screen from time to time. Now it was playing the scene of William and his wife boarding the plane when they left for the United States. On TV, William and his wife were waving at the camera. Yang Cheng suddenly remembered to promise William that 100 Wan's donation has not yet been cashed in, so he hurriedly waved for Carson to come over.
"Yesmylord, what are your orders?"
Yang Cheng pointed to William on TV and said, "I promise William to donate 1 million pounds to Princess Diana's Bereaved Children's Fund. The money will go to the account of the manor. You send the money as soon as possible and notify William's secretary. "
"Okay sir, I'll go to Shao Desen's Royal Bank of Scotland to open an account and make a payment by the way." Carson's voice had just finished.
At this time, a blond beauty dressed as a maid suddenly broke into the restaurant with panic on her face, and Carson's face immediately sank. It really made him feel ashamed that such an unruly thing happened under his command. Sweeping the floor, just about to reprimand, the maid pointed to the outside of the restaurant, and shouted anxiously to Yang Cheng and Carson, "Master, Mr. Carson, go and have a look, the pool floor suddenly collapsed, inside~inside is~"
Knowing that something important happened, Carson didn't reprimand him any more, but said calmly, "Don't worry, speak slowly, what is it?"
The maid swallowed, her breathing became short of breath, she looked at Yang Cheng and Carson in disbelief and said, "Gold, a lot of gold."
Yang Cheng was taken aback, this was the former king's residence, it was normal to have hidden wealth, but he didn't think there would be much, so he ate the bread unhurriedly, took a sip of milk, and took a satisfying sip After belching, Cai Shiran got up and stretched his waist, and raised his chin to the two Carsons who were waiting for his instructions, "Lead the way ahead, how much gold can you have, it scares you like this."
