Chapter 378 Chapter 376: Undefeated Lion (Additional Chapter 9)

For some people, when they are around, you get used to it and don't think anything of it.

But if he were gone, or taking a short break, you would feel his importance.

That's what old Hoover is like!
Loy's management model has always been to decentralize power and hold managers accountable.

He simply selected knowledgeable and loyal people, threw the job to them, and let them take full responsibility.

This doesn't mean that he will just ignore it, but rather that he will formulate policies and plans, let managers fully understand them, and then let them do it.

The advantage of this is that these direct managers have enough power to basically have the final say and decide life and death.

As long as their words are effective, all policies can be implemented in the shortest possible time and no one dares to disobey them.

Of course, too much power can also make people easily arrogant. Once they are used to having their say, they will not listen to other people's opinions.

If one has selfish motives, it is easy to engage in corruption, accept bribes, and abuse power for personal gain.

In response to this, Roy did two things. One was to increase salaries and even give dividends based on options.

Only when they have more regular income will they hesitate when faced with bribes, consider the consequences, and stick to their original intentions.

Compared to what Luo Yi gave them, these bribes were nothing, so they would naturally refuse them.

Of course, this alone is not enough. Secondly, there are the secret agents and spies led by Ang, who are placed around countless people to report information.

Many things they did would appear on Roy's desk the next day.

Luo Yi never cares about face. He will criticize you when necessary and make things clear. Only then can I continue to use you.

This management model was designed by Shenlan and explored by Luo Yi in practice. It is most suitable for the current situation and also most suitable for him.

Of course, this is definitely not because he can just throw things away to the greatest extent possible and let other people do them, so he can be lazy!
It is impossible for him to be lazy. He is very busy every day, okay? !
This management model has also resulted in the supervisors under him having numerous tasks and heavy responsibilities, and they are busy every day without any rest.

For example, Maruna is responsible for the production of the magic energy factory, Lord Xike Cruz is responsible for infrastructure, Mira Greenman is responsible for the finance of the magic energy industry, and Grand Knight Thor Dean is responsible for the operation of the Siren Port, etc...

As for Butler Hoover, he was responsible for three main areas.

One is the original industry of the flower territory, such as the production of perfume, the exchange of gold, the planting of grain and taxation.

You have to admit that some of these traditional industries have been eroded by the magic industry, such as shipping and the Lion Caravan, as well as land expropriation and mining.

Basically, they are all classified into the magic energy industry system, but even if they are reduced, their scale is still not small, and the annual revenue they bring is also considerable.

Second, the daily management of Lion Manor, as well as VIP reception and banquet hosting.

This part may seem easy, but it is actually quite complicated, especially when hosting banquets and entertaining guests, nothing can go wrong.

That would be a loss of face for the Raymond family and would also be the greatest test of the butler's ability.

Third, Butler Hoover is the person closest to Loy, and many of Loy's matters need to be conveyed and arranged by him.

It can be said that he is also a bridge of communication between Luo Yi and others, playing a connecting role.

The importance of this is beyond doubt.

Just any one of the above three points can keep people busy every day.

But in the case of Butler Hoover, not only did he accept all of them, he also arranged them in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

However, coupled with the wedding, he was really exhausted, and his tense nerves could no longer support him after the wedding.

Fortunately, he was just tired and there was nothing serious wrong with his body. He just needed to have a good rest for a while.

But even so, he arranged his own affairs properly, dividing them into three parts and assigning three people to be responsible for them.

What Mira Greenman actually does is to deliver commands and provide feedback, acting as a bridge of communication.

Although Mrs. Linda also prescribed a potion, Luo Yi was still a little worried when he saw it. After thinking about it, he took out a drop of "Isis Wine Spring".

It would be a waste to use this rare item to restore fighting spirit. The vitality contained in it is most suitable for making up for the deficiency in the body.

Unless one is like Oliveira, whose origin is depleted, otherwise, it can be slowly recovered.

However, although Butler Hoover had also practiced breathing techniques, it was at most to strengthen the body, and it was impossible for him to quickly digest a whole drop of "Isis Wine Spring".

This requires Mrs. Linda to help prepare a liquid medicine, then add the "Isis Wine Spring" and dilute it directly.
Drink a little every day and use it up in a month to adjust your body to the best condition.

Of course, this 'best' refers to the best human body functions at this stage; it is impossible to return to youth.

Then there is the work that Butler Hoover is responsible for. Loyi repeatedly asked him to train new people.

Orderly inheritance means that subsequent talent training must keep up. As for the specific candidates, let Butler Hoover consider it himself.

When I came out of Butler Hoover's room, Mira was already waiting.

Brussels is a small city, the news has been delivered, and the people who need to be summoned have arrived one after another.

Luo Yi led Mira to the study first. After getting something, he went to the Mage Tower, called out Lilia, and then went to the meeting hall.

The meeting hall now no longer has the gloomy feeling it once had. Instead, it is bright and clear under the magic crystal lamps.

At this time, those who were close had already arrived, such as Iron Knight Phil, Flame Sword Saint Otto, Oliveira and Ange. Roy made it clear that he was going to hold a meeting in the meeting hall, and it was not a small core meeting, but a major event concerning the future of the entire Flower Territory.

Therefore, even several natural disasters who were in cultivation were present.

In fact, such meetings must have corresponding minutes.

Even if there are supervisors who haven't come, a copy will have to be sent over when the time comes to let them know.

For example, Ms. Palacios who is unlikely to make it back in time, Grand Knight Thor, and Captain Walter of the magic warship floating on the sea.

Further behind, the Chief of Police of Brussels and the Director of Security of the Magic Energy Factory, Lien Vasquez, came hurriedly, followed by Maruna and Lord Shik Cruz.

Coincidentally, Lord Hick Chris was rushing back for city building and happened to run into them.

Behind them were the Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke, who was the farthest away, Vincent Ackerman, and two extraordinary strong men, Cody Isaac and Tanya Anderson.

The others all have their own missions and are not in Brussels.

As for Lance Wells, he was sent by Roy to the city of Auxerre to be in charge of those technical staff who were away.

Gradually, everyone arrived. They were all familiar with each other and were whispering to each other, making a lot of noise.

They were also guessing, wondering what important matter the Earl had to discuss by summoning them here with such fanfare? !

It was not until Luo Yi helped Lilia in that their voices gradually disappeared and they stood up with a "clatter".

Luo Yi led Lilia to sit at the top, then waved his hand for everyone to sit down. Then Mira distributed the secret letters he brought with him for everyone to circulate.

After a while, the sound of rustling and whispering of documents could be heard. People were talking to each other. Some frowned, some understood, and some looked puzzled.

Luo Yi ignored them and let them discuss until everyone had finished reading the letter. Then he patted the table and asked everyone to be quiet.

At this time, he said: "You should have heard about what happened in Sara City.

What I have here is the latest and most accurate information."

“The Crown Prince of the Habsburg Empire is dead. This is unbelievable, but it is the truth!
Now, I want to hear your opinions?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Luo Yi waited for a moment, and seeing that no one spoke, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked around and finally locked his eyes on one person.

Then he said, "Grand Knight Commander Alfonso, you come first?"

Alfonso stood up, frowning slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It was not until Luo Yi’s eyes urged him that he said, “My Lord Earl, the death of the crown prince is a big deal.

But what does that have to do with us?"

Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes moved, and then he looked at the others and asked, "Do you think the same thing?"

So everyone nodded.

At this time, Flame Sword Saint Otto stood up and said, "My Lord Count, the Crown Prince died in Sara City. Shouldn't the nobles of Bosnia Province be the ones facing the wrath of the Habsburg Empire?

And the Serb Renaissance Front will probably suffer a devastating blow!"

"The Empire is never easy to talk to, and many people will die, but this has little to do with us, right?"

Iron Knight Phil took over the conversation: "We are in the northwest of the empire, and the Bosnia Province and Sara City are in the southeast corner of the empire. Even if there is a liquidation, it will not affect us.

Moreover, the empire had only lost a crown prince, and the great Hohenzollern III had many sons.
Even if they are venting their anger on us, why can't they pin it on us?!"

Luo Yi finally understood that this might be the difference in thinking. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Then have you ever thought about whether Bosnia alone can calm the empire's anger?

Will they continue to investigate and catch the person behind the scenes, such as the Bonaparte Empire?"

"If, I mean if, the Bonaparte Empire and the Habsburg Empire were to fight, do you think we can just sit on the sidelines and watch?
Will they also be dragged into this war?"

"This... shouldn't be possible?!"

This was Maruna's answer. Although his voice was very low, everyone in the meeting hall had good hearing and could hear it clearly.

His words actually represent everyone's thoughts.

Luo Yi knew that persuasion was useless, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and said directly: "Who knows what will happen in the future?
However, even if there is only a slight possibility, we must take it seriously. We can't afford to take the risk!"

“Therefore, I announce that we will expand the force to 3,000 people, using the 1,000 professional soldiers we trained previously as the backbone.

Including the Knights of the Lion Order, all the knights who have completed retraining will be incorporated into this legion. "

"I call it the First Royal Guards Corps of Flower Territory, number: Undefeated Lion!"

“You may not understand it very well, but you don’t need to understand it. Just execute it.”

"Yes!"
