Chapter 33 Foreign Aid Arrives
Chapter 33 Foreign aid is coming
The few people who looked like veterans gathered around and whispered quietly. They seemed to be visiting this kind of place for the first time, and they were both curious and cautious.
The few people brought by Syphis were much better. Although many of them were visiting this kind of place for the first time,
They are from a magazine. Considering the content of their magazine, what kind of scenes have they not seen before?
But in general, the nobles are far away from most common people. Especially the real nobles who live in such old castles are still very mysterious to the common people.
Some people may have seen a lot of the lifestyle here from novels, storybooks, or even film and television programs, but now that I have entered this place and seen it with my own eyes, it is still very shocking.
Except for the maid who was different from what I imagined.
Just this long solid wood conference table, the wooden table looks like an entire old tree has been carved out from the middle.
Looking at the dense growth rings on the table, and then thinking about the width of the table, in that era, such a century-old tree should have been the main material used to make the keels of battleships, right?
When I got here, I was extravagantly carved out to make a table.
And these tea sets
There was a sharp-eyed employee of a magazine. He took a closer look at the transparent tea set in his hand, and suddenly realized that this thing seemed not to be glass, but to be crystal!
This is too luxurious. Ordinary tea sets for guests to drink tea are all one-piece crystal cup tea sets made of pure crystal?
Each of these things here can be sold for a lot of pounds, right?
"Ahem! Your Excellency the Earl is here!"
Just looking at this name, everyone here is confused. What is the Earl trying to do?
Selling ducks?
Entering the food industry?
Before he could refuse any more, the valet handed Allen a pointer to indicate that the slide was ready.
Allen smiled and was polite.
The sound of footsteps approaching from far away made everyone in the conference room look towards the door.
"Old donkey! Do you still remember your dream you told me before?"
But in very formal occasions, or in aristocratic circles, or in situations like this where you are meeting for the first time, you cannot call the wrong person, as it will be embarrassing!
"Okay! Look here, I've called you all here today. I'm going to explain my latest plan to you first, unify my thoughts first, and then assign tasks!"
"Good morning, His Excellency the Earl of Carmarthen!"
This is a title that belongs exclusively to senior nobles and is used for the two titles of earl and marquis.
That is, the American soldier who is shirtless, wearing camouflage pants, and has a blond broom hair style.
"Hahaha, doctor, I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive."
Following Butler Hu Te's gentle reminder, the entire conference room suddenly became silent, followed by the messy sound of chairs being moved. Although it was not orderly, everyone in the conference room stood up.
And even the names of greetings have specific rules.
Allen then set his sights on another strong white man. Whether it was his appearance or his hairstyle, he looked very much like a character from an arcade fighting game - Gu Lie.
Usually, people like Allen would call him "Master, Your Excellency" after getting familiar with him. This is fine, but you can't call him by his first name. That would be the most rude.
"Tap tap tap."
Allen looked at a young man with short hair and a thin build. This was a doctor on the ship when he was serving.
Just so-so, my nickname is Doctor.
"Alan, we have gone through the formalities since you left. They didn't make things difficult for us. As soon as they received your letter, we took the plane back."
If you know the specific title later, you can also address it with the title, such as Dear Sir, Dear Baron, etc.
"Haha, we are all our own people, sit down and sit down, no need to be polite."
But at least the young master’s attitude is good, work hard and make progress!
Hu Te stood cheerfully at the door of the conference room, looking at the name of the project on the projector and suddenly frowning slightly, feeling a little baffled.
It's not that everyone should salute when seeing a noble, but that such etiquette is used only after it is clear that the person you want to meet is a noble.
This is also a reflection of status.
The old donkey looked at Allen's expression and trembled suddenly, feeling a bit ominous.
???
It sounds very simple, but debugging is very troublesome, because this thing needs to be placed upside down and the position must be adjusted to face the curtain.
Watching the maid still debugging the slides, the principle of this thing is to write the content on a small transparent card, and use the principle of projection to enlarge and project it onto the screen in front of you.
Butler Hu Te has watched his young master work hard in the past few days. In addition to receiving a few guests, he has been staying in the study for the past few days to make a plan. He has not even read this plan.
Hearing Allen's words, the strong man nicknamed Lao Donkey was slightly startled. Then he looked at so many people in the conference hall and said shyly: "Boss, I was all joking."
The subdivision here is that if a noble of this level has a fief in his family, he must be called the fief together, such as the Earl of Carmarthen. The Carmarthen refers to the location of the fief.
This is the first-level specific title.
"Very good! I came at the right time. I will give you the task in a moment."
There is another situation where you can call someone by their first name, that is, if the other party does not reveal that he has a title, then it is not strange for those who do not know.
Behind her is the owner of this castle - His Excellency the Earl of Carmarthen.
If you are a civilian, it doesn't matter if you shout the wrong thing without anyone specifically guiding you. It's not a big deal in modern society anyway.
For the three major levels of nobles, namely knight, baron and viscount, just add a respectful prefix to the title.
Allen raised one eyebrow, and matching the scar on the corner of his eye, his smile looked a little evil.
The one who came in first was.
A maid serving tea.
The separate title further up is Your Majesty.
"Swipe, pull, pull, pull."
The pointer was knocked against the curtain by Allen, and the shaking curtain did not hinder the projection content on it.
As for the higher-level ones, that is His Highness. Those at this level are Dukes and Princes.
Like the Prince of Wales, or the Duke of Cambridge like little William.
"No! I, Allen, never like to joke. Didn't you mean that you like to be among women, and your biggest dream is to die of exhaustion in bed? This time, I have found a big task for you."
And the title "Your Excellency" is at a higher level.
The three major levels of nobility, knight, baron and viscount, cannot be addressed by the word "Your Excellency" in formal situations.
The top row on the projection should be the name of the plan - the Black Duck Sales Plan.
Look down the curtain.
"About promoting the emotional and physical problems of millions of middle-aged and elderly women and widows in the UK, and the tourism economic support project in Gambia, Africa"
What is this stuff?
What the hell is this?
Hu Te's hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously.
Chapter completed!
