America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 85 China in the Millennium

   Before Joanna.

   Abel also already had multiple housekeepers.

  For example, Mrs. Eishman on Anne's side, and Mrs. DeMaffin on Jessica's side.

   But the two female housekeepers are, to put it bluntly, actually senior domestic staff.

  They have not undergone systematic housekeeping training, they are just the staff of the senior housekeeping 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 so much a housekeeper, but a senior maid.

  They are all different from Joanna.

  The official title of a real housekeeper should be—Chief Butler.

   In the West, after the Victorian era.

   In the castles of nobles and top rich people, there are often many servants.

  The servants like a small army have a clear division of labor, and everyone has their own scope of responsibility.

  The steward leads the servants, assigning work, supervision and acceptance to each person.

  The butler must know even the least common etiquette, know the nuances of Bordeaux wines in 1831 and 1832, understand the delicacies and delicacies of all countries in the world, and make every luxury decoration just right.

  Shopping, family finance, laundry and ironing, receiving guests, preparing dinner parties, house repairs, gardening, contacting outside businesses, etc.

  Everything involving the master needs to be arranged by the housekeeper to ensure that the whole house runs well.

  The butler is even more aware of the rules of the game than the master, and rigidly requires his own words and deeds in accordance with traditional etiquette.

  That's why the best servants don't have their own lives, and everything is about the house and the master.

  This standard and system,

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

  The United States is slightly better, and it can be said that in Europe it has not changed much since ancient times.

   It's just the top class, from the former noble king to the current big capitalist.

   Essentially no different.

  The United States is a little better than Europe, but only a little bit.

  The capitalists here are more rude and unscrupulous than the other side.

   Essentially, there is no difference.

  If Abel is still a Chinese, or a proletarian American.

  Facing this system, facing the essence of the Western world.

  He will slander in his heart, and if he has a chance to resist, he may resist.

   But now, even without hanging.

  He is also a vested interest class in this country.

   Their family can already be regarded as an agricultural capitalist.

  He is not a great man.

   Therefore, his **** is naturally on the side of the capitalists.

  Facing this situation, facing Joanna's high-quality butler performance later on.

  After experiencing a little discomfort, he also readily accepted it later.

E.g

   Mrs. De Maven and Mrs. Ashman, the two housekeepers, would not wake up in the morning.

  Bring breakfast and the latest newspaper to him in bed as soon as possible.

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

   And Joanna doesn't use it at all.

  She has a strong subjective motivation to serve the master.

  The key to this kind of subjective momentum is still in the right direction.

  The newspapers she sent over were all the newspapers that Abel read most often.

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

  The breakfast she brought was also Abel's favorite soy milk and hamburger.

   Weird breakfast recipes, but he likes them in the morning.

   "How do you know this?" Eating a hamburger with soy milk.

  Abel looked curiously at the butler lady who was standing beside the bed respectfully with two maids.

  The latter responded without haste: "I have communicated with Ms. Demanfer and Ms. Eishman."

   One sentence of explanation made Abel understand.

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

   Obviously, she has already known some of her habits in advance.

   Now, this is called professionalism.

  He evaluated this in his heart, and then smiled:

   "Well. How about it. Joanna, my servant and housekeeper for other houses in the future.

   also handed over to your management. I'll make it later"

   Thinking about it carefully, Abel found that he did not have any subordinates of the butler type.

before this,

  In terms of security and travel.

  Edward is generally responsible.

   In terms of life, several housekeepers in several houses are jointly responsible.

  Basically unsystematic.

  This is not oldmoney.

  That's why he wanted to poach the corner of the American Express Company and recruit David Jones to be his big butler.

   Now it seems that maybe David Jones and Joanna can have one outside and one inside.

   "I'll get someone to hand over the list to you later, are you confident?"

   "No problem." Joanna responded calmly.

   "Yeah." Abel nodded in satisfaction, then quickly finished the fourth burger and drank a full glass of freshly squeezed soy milk, estimated to be 1L.

   This "gluttony" scene.

   stared blankly at the two maids behind Joanna.

  Joanna did not change her face, and was already considering replacing the two maids.

   Or strengthen their training.

   But at the same time, she was surprised by the boss's appetite.

  【. According to the information, Mr. Smith has a good appetite, which is confirmed to be true. 】

  【. It seems that I need to look up the information of professional fitness trainers near New York, etc., for emergencies. 】

   Joanna thought so in her heart.

   After all, if you eat like this, you will gain weight sooner or later.

  The owner is still so young, so he needs a professional fitness trainer if he becomes fat.

   Finished the breakfast, Abel half-lyed on the soft Simmons contentedly.

  He unfolded 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 probably the world.

   Americans who are often ridiculed by Europeans for their lack of classics and traditions often say that they also have a few things that have not changed in 50 years.

   That's "green dollars, 'Morton' salt packages, and The Wall Street Journal."

  The latter in this sentence refers to the fact that the "Wall Street Journal" has been born for more than a hundred years.

  But for a hundred years, its tone has remained in the last century.

   That is, it's still a black and white newspaper.

  As the flagship daily newspaper of Dow Jones & Company.

  The headlines on the front page of the "Wall Street Journal" will always only be international events that can affect the economy and finance.

  Like today's front page headline, the title is—

  "Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said recently that the Chinese market provides huge opportunities, which is a part that cannot be ignored in the 21st century."

  The front page headline of this issue is about Huaxia.

  In this era, the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and other newspapers, the reports about Huaxia belong to the kind that often appear.

   Generally, there is nothing good to say.

  But in a newspaper like The Wall Street Journal, which is more biased towards finance.

  The content about Huaxia is relatively rare.

   After all, it is only 2000, and Huaxia has not even joined the WTO.

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

  In terms of finance, Wall Street really doesn't pay much attention to that side.

   Unexpectedly, today, the "Wall Street Journal" reported on Huaxia.

   It was still the headline on the front page, which made him unable to bear to read it carefully.
