Seeing Fang Lang's serious look, Zulf Henry also responded directly with a serious face:
"Sir, I don't need time to think about it. Your request is nothing to me, and it is not difficult for me to do this. Please rest assured that I will cherish this job opportunity."
Hearing Zulf Henry's answer without hesitation, Fang Lang was a little surprised and looked carefully up and down for a while at this middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo.
Qi Qingshan on the side also put his hand on the holster on his waist and looked back and forth at the opponent seriously, with a strong sense of scrutiny in his eyes.
But Zulf Henry had a calm expression on his face as if he didn't realize it, and looked at Fang Lang firmly.
Seeing this, Fang Lang stopped saying anything, laughed and nodded directly:
"Okay, in that case, you will be responsible for my art investment projects full-time from now on. I also highly approve of the three artists you recommended to me.
But they are far away in China, and China is currently in the midst of war. How and where to purchase their works depends on your ability! "
With Fang Lang's statement, it meant that Zulf Henry was officially accepted by Fang Lang and became Fang Lang's sidekick.
Qi Qingshan on the side put his hand down from his waist and reached out to the other party. His serious expression became much more easy-going. He introduced himself to Zulf Henry with a smile:
"Hello, Butler Henry! I am the boss's lieutenant. It is a pleasure to work with you."
Zulf Henry seemed very calm about this, with a sense of being unfazed by honor and disgrace. He just smiled and nodded to Qi Qingshan, stretched out his hand to hold it, and said politely:
"Hello, Sir Qi! It's my honor to work with you. Please take good care of me in the future!"
Fang Lang just smiled when he saw this scene and said directly:
"Okay, now let's ask Zulf to continue taking me around my new home!"
Upon hearing this, Zulf Henry bowed slightly, stretched out his hand in front of Fang Lang, made a guiding gesture and said politely:
"Sir, please come with me!"
Next, Fang Lang, accompanied by Qi Qingshan, continued to visit this large manor of two thousand acres. One acre equals approximately 6.07 acres.
In other words, the area of this manor is more than 12,000 acres. It is obviously impossible to browse such a large area at once. Therefore, everyone mainly visited the main buildings in the manor today.
A ring-shaped building with more than 100 rooms, there are two banquet halls that can accommodate more than 200 people for banquets. The roofs are carved with magnificent murals, mostly in the religious painting style of the European Renaissance. As for Exactly who completed it, Zolph Henry, is also unclear.
But Fang Lang could tell that the other party also recognized his painting skills very much. Although Fang Lang didn't like this religious painting style, he didn't hate it either.
After all, this is something that is in line with mainstream Western values. If you want to integrate into this circle, you must learn to accept it. You must know that Westerners are generally religious, and they are wary of people without religious beliefs.
For atheists like Fang Lang, who worship all kinds of gods, Westerners are even more wary when coming into contact with them, even more cautious than when dealing with pagans.
Therefore, Fang Lang never let others know that he was an atheist.
What's more, in these Western religious paintings, there often appear some strong women with bare breasts. When Fang Lang visited, he couldn't help but be envious of the strong bodies of these strong men, and he would look at them twice unconsciously.
In addition to the huge banquet hall, there are also luxurious master rooms, elderly rooms and children's rooms.
Even all the guest rooms are decorated like a five-star hotel, and each room is equipped with a bathroom, or like the current commercial housing, it has several sets of three-bedroom and two-living rooms and four-bedroom and two-living rooms.
This is absolutely not the case in old manor houses.
The area of the master room is nearly a hundred square meters, and the luxurious toilet and bathroom give Fang Lang the illusion of traveling through time and space. What shocked Fang Lang the most was that the faucets in the master bedroom bathroom were made of pure gold.
The floor of the room was covered with soft Persian carpets. These luxurious arrangements were something that Fang Lang could not even imagine in his previous life. For such a luxurious manor, Fang Lang was secretly stunned after visiting it.
He couldn't imagine the identity of the French businessman who built this manor, and how much money he invested in building this luxurious palace-like building.
It's a pity that everything belongs to Fang Lang now. I don't know how reluctant the other party will be.
None of this has anything to do with Fang Lang. He only knows now that he is very satisfied with it all.
Standing in a huge banquet hall, Fang Lang suddenly said to Zulf Henry, who had been introducing the situation of the manor:
"Zolph, if I want to hold a banquet here, how long will it take you to prepare?"
Mr. Butler, who was introducing eloquently, was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he asked softly:
"Sir, I don't know how big a banquet you plan to organize?"
Fang Lang, who had never held a banquet before, had no idea about this. He thought for a while and then said with some uncertainty:
"There should be more than two hundred people!"
Seeing that Fang Lang was not sure, professional Zulf Henry asked directly:
“I don’t know what the purpose of hosting this banquet is, sir, and who are the main guests invited?
You can give me a general direction and I will help you arrange the rest! "
Fang Lang was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't know whether he should say what he was thinking, but then he thought about it. He had just told Zulf Henry that he would make him his lifelong butler. At this time, for him It was obviously not appropriate to conceal something, so he no longer hesitated and said directly:
"The guests are mainly company owners who have business dealings with our company. Also, I heard that our neighbors not far away are the Rockefeller family, right?
If so, please try to find a way to send the invitation to the banquet to the other party. I want to make friends with the Rockefeller family. "
These words made Zulf Henry stunned. There are people all over the United States who want to make friends with the Rockefeller family. They will not come directly to your banquet and make friends with you just for your invitation.
This request was obviously beyond Zulf Henry's ability, which made him look embarrassed.
Fang Lang saw this and said with some doubts:
"Any questions?"
Zulf Henry was afraid that Fang Lang would doubt his ability to work, so he quickly said:
"Sir, it's very easy to hold a banquet for two hundred people, but it may be a little difficult to invite people from the Rockefeller family to the banquet."
"Oh! Why? Don't the Rockefeller family attend the banquet?"
Fang Lang didn't react for a moment and continued to ask with a questioning look on his face.
This time, Zulf Henry's expression became even more embarrassed, and he looked at Fang Lang with a strange expression:
"Sir, the Rockefeller family is one of the largest families in the United States. No matter who invites them to a banquet, they will always attend."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang didn't understand what he meant. He slapped his forehead and laughed loudly:
"Haha... Zulf, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you send an invitation to the other party, I can guarantee that the other party will definitely participate.
You must know that one of my business partners is the Morgan family. When the time comes, I will invite the patriarch of the Morgan family and the chairman of Morgan Company to participate.
I believe that Mr. Morgan will give me this face and go to the appointment on time. "
When Zulf Henry heard this, his eyes widened, he looked at his young new master with an expression of disbelief, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Sir, are you serious? Will you invite Mr. Morgan to your banquet then?"
Seeing the British butler, who had always behaved as a very gentleman, finally showing a surprised expression, Fang Lang said nonchalantly:
"Zolph, this is not surprising. I came to the United States this time at the invitation of the Morgan family. There is nothing worth making a fuss about hosting a banquet and inviting the Morgan family to participate.
In the future, you will see more big shots, and maybe one day Mr. President will come to the banquet I hold.
So, you should stay calm. Just do your job. "
When Zulf Henry heard this, he took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then nodded firmly and said:
"Yes, sir, I think I'll get used to it quickly.
Please rest assured that if the guests at our banquet are from a big family like the Morgan family, I will personally come to persuade the Rockefeller family to send qualified people to attend your banquet. "
Obviously, Zulf Henry now feels confident and straightens his back. It turns out that he knows that Fang Lang is the boss of Universal Group and also knows the size of Universal Group.
However, he did not have a deeper understanding of Universal Group. Not long after the manor was acquired by Universal Group, Fang Lang, the owner, came to the manor.
He didn't have time to know too much about the specific situation of this company.
Now that he knew that his boss was closely related to the Morgan Consortium, the largest financial group in the United States, he had to start to re-examine his new job.
At least in terms of strength, the new boss is definitely far stronger than the old boss. This is obviously very different from the original information that the new boss is a Brazilian soldier.
No wonder his boss repeatedly emphasized the importance of loyalty to him just now. Now it seems that he must treat this job more carefully.
Fang Lang didn't think so much. He believed that even if he didn't invite the Morgan family this time, as long as he sent an invitation to the Rockefeller family, they would definitely send someone with their status to attend the banquet.
After all, it is impossible for a family like the Rockefellers not to know that they are also one of the participants in the European rescue plan. If this small consortium, which has always only interacted with the Morgan family, suddenly held a banquet and extended an invitation to the Rockefellers, they would definitely It attracted great attention from the Rockefeller family.
This situation is likely to be a signal, a signal of goodwill from Fang Lang to the Rockefeller family.
Seeing that Zulf Henry had returned to his original gentlemanly demeanor, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask:
"How long does it take you to prepare for organizing such a banquet?"
"One week, sir, please give me one week, and I promise to hold a perfect banquet for you."
Zulf Henry spoke with confidence.
But this time obviously did not satisfy Fang Lang. Fang Lang, who was a soldier, had no intention of talking nonsense to him. He stretched out five fingers without hesitation and said:
"You only have five days, and my time is very tight. I hope you can complete all the preparations for this banquet within five days.
At the same time, this is also a test of your working ability. I hope you will not let me down. "
In fact, if you want to prepare for such a large-scale banquet, one week of preparation time is definitely not enough. After all, with a scale of one or two hundred people, just preparing to print and distribute invitations is not enough time.
But Fang Lang's words still forced Zulf Henry to agree. After all, this is a rare opportunity to prove your ability in front of your new boss.
"Yes, sir, five days is all. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction.
Fortunately, the introduction to the entire manor was over. After Zulf Henry sent Fang Lang back to the master room to rest, he started preparations non-stop.
Fang Lang was also a little tired after the battle of wits and strength with Morgan, so he went directly to rest in the big room of the manor. Lying on the large bed, Fang Lang suddenly felt as if something was missing.
After a slight hesitation, he picked up the phone beside the bed and called Lilith, who had returned to Boston for classes, inviting her to visit her new manor and warm her bed.
Of course, he also mentioned the banquet five days later and suggested that he invite some of his friends to attend.
Lilith was so happy to know the news that she directly asked Fang Lang for five invitations. And asked Fang Lang to send a car to pick her up immediately.
Fang Lang was naturally very satisfied with his girlfriend's positive attitude and directly asked the housekeeper to arrange for someone to go to Boston with a few guards to pick up his girlfriend.
Then he remembered his promise to Vivian to go to France to accompany her. If he took Lilith alone again, Vivian might be about to get angry.
I could only send another telegram to Vivian in France.
After finishing everything, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
As for the other people in the manor, their fate was not so good. Following the order from Mr. Zulf Henry, the butler, the servants in the entire manor began to work nervously.
Especially when Mr. Butler reminded everyone that the VIP meeting this time was very important, although everyone did not find out who would attend, they had to take it seriously.
After all, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm shown by Zulf Henry were the first time that everyone had seen it after working together for so long. Everyone couldn't help but be curious about what kind of banquet this would be.
Due to tight time and heavy tasks, Zulf Henry even had to ask Qi Qingshan for help, and Qi Qingshan, who participated in the entire visit, did not refuse.
While arranging manpower to help Mr. Butler, they also stepped up their efforts to upgrade the security measures of the manor.
With so many big shots coming to the boss's manor for a banquet, the pressure on security was huge, so everyone began to act nervously because of Fang Lang's impromptu idea.
