Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Buying Time
Normally, if it is gossip about the British royal family, such as Prince William breaking up or changing his girlfriend, then it will still be widely reported in American newspapers.
But for a duke like Barron, the attention he gets is probably only that of a third-tier star.
However, because he and his girlfriend are both authors of "Downton Abbey", the Sinclair Group also hyped up this TV series and the reality show "Traitor" to a certain extent when introducing it. In addition, Barron's appearance is indeed amazing, so he is still relatively well-known in the United States. It can be said that he is close to a star at this stage.
Especially when he recently bought large quantities of shares in Apple and Google, the previous reports in the British tabloids about his breakup with his girlfriend also crossed the ocean and were reprinted in the American gossip tabloids.
Therefore, knowing that Barron is currently single, he clearly felt the enthusiasm of those socialites in Jenny Butt's "circle of friends" this time.
Just like Amanda Hearst, she is just 19 years old and still in school. She has just entered the socialite circle, but there is no gossip about her. She is rare to be clean...
…
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness. This is a mistake made by our hotel. We are now dealing with it urgently. As an apology, our hotel will waive your room fee for today. I hope you can understand."
Barron stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York.
At this time, beads of sweat were almost dripping from the hotel manager's forehead. After saying these words of apology, he bowed respectfully to Barron and waited for his reply.
"I understand that it was an unintentional mistake, but I don't want it to happen again."
Barron said gently with a smile on his face.
Hearing his words, the hotel manager was as if he had been pardoned. He said gratefully,
"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness. We will send your shirt over right away."
After the other party left, Barron restrained his smile and looked at Wang Wanting, who was trembling in front of him.
The cause of this incident was that when Barron was about to go out today and changed his clothes, he found that the hotel staff did not deliver his washed and dried clothes in time.
After asking, I learned that one of his shirts was stained and the hotel was dealing with it.
For this reason, the manager of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel came personally to apologize.
You should know that almost all of Barron's clothes are custom-made in specialized clothing stores in London, just like his suits and shirts, which have Devonshire family's special embroidery patterns.
This mistake would delay him and would be a serious fault.
Although it was mainly the hotel's fault, as Barron's personal assistant, Wang Wanting's failure to confirm in time was also a dereliction of duty.
"Laura, I understand that your current job is becoming more and more complicated..."
Barron looked at Wang Wanting and said calmly,
"I will also add the corresponding manpower for you, but I don't want such mistakes to happen again."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will not let this happen again."
When Wang Wanting first became Barron's personal assistant, there were not many things she was responsible for.
On the one hand, it was because Barron's industry was not that complicated at the time, and she did not have so many things to communicate in terms of business.
In addition, at that time in England, Barron's daily affairs were handled by butlers and servants.
But as the number of industries under Barron's name increased, the things Wang Wanting needed to pay attention to increased exponentially.
Especially when she went overseas with His Royal Highness the Duke, many aspects of life also required her to handle.
Although Barron always stays in the presidential suite of top hotels, and the hotels often provide him with a dedicated butler and housekeeping staff, all aspects including clothing, travel, and diet still require Wang Wanting's timely confirmation.
Wang Wanting's annual salary is currently 150,000 pounds, which is higher than some company executives and even higher than the Prime Minister's income. However, this money is not so easy to get, because a job like hers often requires meeting certain requirements of the employer at any time...
For example, when Barron suggested that he wanted to watch a certain game, but the tickets were sold out.
Then Wang Wanting also needs to contact the other party immediately and find a way to get the VIP box for the competition.
She must be able to find a way to complete requests like this that come to her mind.
She even needs to be involved in luxury goods, works of art and even various types of wine, in order to make appropriate choices for Barron's daily needs.
Anyway, in general, the requirements for this position are very high. If Wang Wanting still needs to adapt at the beginning, then if she wants to maintain her current position, she must meet these requirements.
It was also from this incident that Barron realized that he needed to increase the number of team members serving him.
These personnel include Wang Wanting's assistants in various aspects and some professionals.
For example, a personal maid or personal secretary who is responsible for his daily life when he is away.
For example, there is an image assistant who specializes in clothing matching and image design for him.
For example, a personal nutritionist who specially prepares a diet menu for him.
etc...
So people have strong adaptability. When Barron first came into this world and became the heir to a British dukedom, he was not used to the life of having everything provided for him like many other nobles and needed a group of people to serve him.
But by now, he's pretty used to it.
Because of a simple reason. Barron now owns more companies and enterprises, and the lives of countless people depend on his decisions...
Every minute of his time is extremely precious.
Therefore, it is impossible to waste time thinking about what to wear when going out, or to deal with trivial matters in life personally, like in the previous life.
Yes, whether common people or rich people, they are equal in terms of time, and they have the same amount of time.
But the difference is that the time of the rich and powerful is more valuable!
The value of every minute of their time is far higher than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, in order to save time, or not waste their energy on trivial matters, they are more willing to spend money to buy "other people's time", that is, to hire a large team to serve them.
After the hotel delivered the processed clothes to Barron, they left the hotel and went to Park Plaza in Manhattan.
This time is already half an hour later than the scheduled time.
Woolworth Building is located on the Park Plaza side of Manhattan, New York.
"Your Highness, the Duke of Cavendish, I am your real estate consultant, Iluna Costin from XYZ Real Estate. As agreed before, I will first show you the top floor apartment of this building. This is also the best high-rise apartment currently on sale, which is very suitable for your distinguished status..."
When Barron arrived there, although he had been waiting for more than half an hour, the beautiful consultant, who was wearing a business suit, a short skirt, stockings, and high heels and had a great figure, did not show any dissatisfaction. She spoke to Barron with a warm smile.
