I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 42: 1 Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner

In early autumn, the autumn scenery of Boleyn Manor in the morning is full of dreams. Over the Manor River, mist hangs in the air at sunrise. Flocks of mallard ducks loom on romantic mornings and all is quiet and impressive. When the sun has just risen from the horizon, the outlines of everything are surrounded by a beam of golden soft light, which is like a fairyland.

The golden woods dotted with green grass are distinctive, and the vibrant pastoral scenery reflects the vicissitudes of time in the ancient buildings.

"boom!"

After a crisp sound of metal knocking, Arthur, who was wearing casual clothes and a peaked cap, slowly straightened his twisted body, and slowly put down the golf clubs he was holding in both hands, with the corners of his mouth raised, showing a relieved smile .

Finally hit the ball. . . . . .

Arthur looked around with some guilt, and found that there was no one else except the four dogs, so he bent down relaxedly, took a golf ball and put it on the ball holder inserted in the grass.

Hold the bar with both hands so that the hand and the bar become a whole, adjust the breathing, keep the body in a natural and comfortable state, stand naturally and relax. Then the hips and knees are slightly bent forward, the eyes are aimed at the direction to be hit, the arms and shoulders naturally droop, the arms are slightly turned to the inside of the body, the shoulders are turned, and the body is tightened like a screw.

The surging power is transmitted from bottom to top on its body, swinging - bang!

Arthur closed the shot slowly, and made a shade between his forehead with his hands, watching a beautiful parabola drawn in the air and flying towards the river in the distance.

"Plop—"

On the grassy platform in the quiet backyard of the castle, Arthur could vaguely hear the sound of the golf ball falling into the water. After perfectly and successfully familiarizing himself with and re-mastering the skills of golf, Arthur could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, he refused to play golf. After breakfast, he was going to go into the study to continue writing novels. However, the housekeeper Paul firmly insisted that the Earl should do some proper exercise.

Horseback riding, shooting and golf, choose one of the three.

Undoubtedly, this made Arthur, who has received the memory and is very familiar with the three sports, but lacks practice, directly numb his claws. Of course, his predecessor was very proficient in these aristocratic sports, but Arthur, who had never ridden a horse, practiced a gun, or played golf, even if his mind was full of memories, it was useless.

No way, Arthur had to choose golf, a non-dangerous sport, to try first. After all, riding a horse, he was really afraid of falling off the horse. As for the gun, to be honest, he really wanted to play it. Like it, it can be said that it is engraved in the genes, but in the previous life, I came from the Celestial Dynasty, and I never had the opportunity to touch a gun. Although I have played with my own gun, but most of the time I watched other people play with guns. . . Besides, it is not made of steel, it is completely different.

As for golf, although there is no such professional course, for the manor full of lawns, almost every place can be used as a course, especially the grass platform in the backyard of the castle, which is the exclusive golf practice ground for the Bolling family. .

"boom--"

After hitting a golf ball easily again, Arthur leaned on the golf club with both hands, and all he could see was the beautiful scenery of the manor, and his mood really became extremely comfortable.

This is life!

After expressing emotion, Arthur withdrew his thoughts when he heard the barking of the dog. Looking back, the butler Paul came over with a smile on his face.

Horseback riding and shooting, and these two short boards need to be carefully familiarized with and mastered again. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain clearly. You must know that these sports are compulsory for children from aristocratic families to learn and master them proficiently. Skills are not something that can be perfunctory just because you haven't played for a long time.

"Count, the pure water machine merchant has arrived and is checking the water pipes of the castle. They will give the best solution later."

Steward Paul's report,

Arthur nodded his head slightly, then bent down to place a golf ball, adjusted his posture and breathing, and swung violently.

"boom!"

"nice shot--"

The housekeeper Paul smiled and praised, but Arthur just shook his head and laughed, and then said: "It must be a five-stage filter product."

"Don't worry, we are looking for the most professional company. Their product functions and quality can be guaranteed. I have already conducted a detailed understanding and comparison."

Hearing Paul's words, Arthur smiled and said, "That's good. You should know that even clean tap water will be completely different after passing through a few kilometers of pipelines. It is well known that secondary pollution of tap water includes pollution from galvanized pipes, rusty water pipes, and faucets. Garbage pollution from high-rise water tanks has become a hidden danger of tap water, not to mention that the water quality in England contains a lot of minerals, and if it is not purified and filtered, I am worried that the disease will come from the mouth.”

The housekeeper, Paul, also had a serious face, nodding his head appreciatively, thinking of his sparse hairline, his eyes became more helpless and depressed.

"You are responsible for paying attention to this matter yourself. I have nothing to do here. I spend most of my time writing novels in my study. You don't have to be by my side all the time. Just keep busy with your work." Arthur said to Paul .

Arthur is basically familiar with everything in the castle now, and there is no need for someone to be with him all the time, and some things are very inconvenient.

"Okay, I'm at your call at any time." The housekeeper Paul bowed slightly and said.

"Well, let's go." Arthur nodded, continued to bend down, put the golf ball away, bent his knees, twisted and swung the club, and swung the golf club vigorously, hitting the golf ball in one go, watching the golf ball draw a parabola and fall into the river inside.

After playing golf for an hour, even Arthur, who is strong and strong, felt his arms were a little numb and tired. After calling the waiter and asking him to pack the clubs, Arthur walked back to the castle while moving his arms. .

In the study room, just after taking a few sips of coffee, the phone on the desk rang. Putting down the coffee cup, he picked up the phone and took a look to see that it was Tom White, the person in charge of the publishing house.

Picking up the phone, Tom White's greeting came. Arthur chuckled and exchanged some pleasantries with the other party. I have to say that, except for the Chinese people who like to be tactful before talking about things, the British people are not shy. Let more.

Sometimes, talking about the weather can last two or three minutes, which is really speechless.

"...Boss, I have already contacted the United States and arranged for someone to discuss it. There is basically no problem with the copyright of Game of Thrones, and the comic copyright of "The Walking Dead" is not much trouble. Only "The Hunger Games" is a bit difficult , there are already several publishing houses competing, after all, it is the hottest bestseller at the moment."

Hearing this result, Arthur said with a smile: "If the competition for "The Hunger Games" is too great, it's okay to give up. It's not necessary to get the publishing rights. By the way, are there any employees in the publishing house who are familiar with China?"

"...Sorry, boss, there is no such employee in the company."

"That's it..." Arthur pouted his mouth and pondered for a while, before making a decision: "If you do this, recruit two employees who are proficient in both Chinese and English, and who are very familiar with the Celestial Dynasty. It is best to be Chinese or immigrants. , the professional requirements can be relaxed a bit, but if it is an elite talent.

This matter should be done as soon as possible. After the recruitment is successful, bring someone over to see me. I have something to arrange. Three days, can the recruitment be completed in three days? "

Although it is an interrogative sentence, but the tone can hear the meaning of persistence. Naturally, Tom White will not fail to finish. This is recruitment. I believe that in this economic environment, there are too many people who want to find a job.

"Boss, don't worry, I will send out the recruitment notice immediately, and I believe there will be results soon."

"Well, I'll wait for your good news."

After chatting for a while about the operation of the publishing house, Arthur hung up the phone and set a time limit. Apart from his rush to hire people, the most important reason was the terrible efficiency of the troublesome British people.

You must know that the average British person has no sense of urgency in doing things, and they are obsessed with regulations, but they have no logic and lack of resilience. Procrastination is commonplace. The British who are heavy on threes and fours can really kill you when you are in a hurry.

Many institutions and companies are overstaffed, and the allocation of talents is quite bad and extremely unreasonable. That's why one of the first things Arthur asked newspapers and publishers to do was to downsize and lay off staff.
