Chapter 85

Chapter 85 China in the millennium

Before Joanna.

Abel already has several housekeepers.

For example, Mrs. Eishman is with Anne and Mrs. DeMaffin is with Jessica. But these two maids, frankly speaking, are actually high-ranking domestic servants.

They have not undergone systematic butler training, they are just employees of the senior management company hired by the Express Company for Abel.

They signed a contract with Abel to work only for Abel.

But the content of their work is not that of a butler but that of a senior butler.

They are all different from Joanna. The official title of a real butler should be: Head Butler.

In the West, after the Victorian era.

In the castles of the nobility and wealth there are often many servants.

The servants, like a small army, had a clear division of labor and each had their own scope of responsibility.

The butler leads the servants, assigns work, supervises and approves each person. The butler must be aware of even the least used labels, know the nuances of the Bordeaux wines of 1831 and 1832, understand the delicacies and delicacies of different countries of the world and Adjust each luxurious decoration style.

Shopping, household finances, laundry, entertaining guests, preparing dinner, home repairs, gardening, contacting outside companies, etc.

Everything related to the owner must be arranged by the housekeeper to ensure the entire house runs smoothly.

The butler understands the rules of the game even better than the master and strictly demands that his words and actions follow traditional etiquette.

That's why the best servants don't have their own lives, everything revolves around the house and the master. This standard and this system,

In the West, this type of thinking is very common.

In the United States, the situation is a little better. It can be said that in Europe, the situation has not changed much since then.

All belong to the upper class, from the aristocratic king of the past to the great capitalists of today.

There's basically no difference.

The United States is doing a little better than Europe, but only a little. The capitalists here are more crude and unscrupulous than the capitalists over there.

In reality, there is no difference.

If Abel remained a Chinese or American proletarian.

Face this system, face the nature of the Western world.

He will slander in his heart, and if he has a chance to resist, he will resist. But now, even without crashing.

He also represents a class with special interests in this country.

Their family can be considered agricultural capitalists.

He is not a great man.

Therefore, his pawns naturally sided with the capitalists. Faced with this situation, faced with Joanna's high-class housekeeper performance later.

After feeling a little uncomfortable, he later easily accepted it.

For example

Mrs. De Maven and Mrs. Ashman, the two housekeepers, did not wake up in the morning. Bring him breakfast and the last newspaper in bed as soon as possible.

If you want them to do this, you need to explain it to them in advance.

And Joanna doesn't use it at all.

She has a strong subjective motivation to serve her master.

The key to this type of subjective motivation is to stay on track. The newspapers she sent were all the newspapers that Abel read most often.

Things like the New York Times, Washington Journal, The Observer, Bloomberg Businessweek, etc.

The breakfast she brought was also soy milk and hamburgers that Abel loved.

Weird breakfast recipe but he likes them in the morning.

"How do you know that?" Eat hamburger with soy milk. Abel looked curiously at the butler who was standing respectfully next to the bed with two maids.

The latter replied without haste: "I have contacted Ms. Demanfer and Ms. Eishman."

An explanation that made Abel understand.

It seems that before working for herself, Joanna knew it was after working for herself.

Obviously, she already knew some of his habits.

Now, that's called professionalism. He evaluated this in his heart and then smiled:

"Wow. What if Joanna, my servant and housekeeper in the future, will manage the other houses.

are also handed over to your manager. I'll do that later"

Thinking carefully, Abel discovered that he did not have a butler-type subordinate. before,

In terms of security and tourism.

Edward is usually the one in charge.

On the life side, some cleaning ladies in some houses are jointly responsible.

There is basically no system.

This is not old money. That's why he wanted to take over the American Express company and recruited David Jones as his big butler.

Now it looks like David Jones and Joanna may have one on the outside and one on the inside.

"I will ask someone to give you the list later, are you confident?"

"Nothing." Joanna answered calmly.

"Yes." Abel nodded with satisfaction, then quickly finished his fourth hamburger and drank a large cup of freshly squeezed soy milk, about 1 liter.

This "gluttonous" scene. staring at the two maids behind Joanna.

Joanna's face did not change at all, she had already intended to replace the two maids.

Or enhance their training.

But at the same time, she was also surprised by her boss's taste.

[. According to reports, Mr. Smith has a very good appetite, this has been confirmed. ]

[. Looks like I need to look up information on professional fitness trainers near New York, etc., in case of emergency. ]

Joanna thought so in her heart.

After all, if you eat like that, sooner or later you will gain weight. The owner is young so he needs a professional trainer if he is older.

After eating breakfast, Abel sat down contentedly on the soft Simmons.

He opened one of the newspapers Joanna had prepared for him, the latest issue of the Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal is the largest financial newspaper in the United States and perhaps the world.

Americans, often ridiculed by Europeans for their lack of classicism and tradition, often say that they too have things that have not changed in the past 50 years. These are "green dollars, Morton salt packets, and the Wall Street Journal."

The latter part of this sentence refers to the fact that "The Wall Street Journal" was born more than a hundred years ago.

But for a hundred years, its tone remained the same as that of the previous century.

In other words, it is still a black and white newspaper.

Is the flagship daily newspaper of Dow Jones and Company.

The headlines on the front page of the "Wall Street Journal" will always be only about international events that have the potential to affect the economy and finance. Like today's front page headline, the headline is:

"Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio recently said the Chinese market offers enormous opportunities that cannot be ignored in the 21st century."

The title of the first page of this issue is related to Hoa Ha.

At that time, "New York Times", "Washington Post" and other newspapers that reported on Huaxia belonged to the newspapers that appeared regularly.

In general, there's nothing good to say.

But at a newspaper like the Wall Street Journal, the newspaper is more financial oriented.

Content on Huaxia is relatively rare. After all, it was only 2000 and Huaxia had not yet joined the WTO.

At this time when the GDP per capita of the United States is 36,000 US dollars and the GDP per capita of China is 959 US dollars.

Financially, Wall Street doesn't really pay attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the Wall Street Journal reported on Hoa Ha today.

It was always the title of the first page that prevented him from reading it seriously. (end of this chapter)
