Rebirth of England.

If Barron is given enough time, he is confident that with a certain amount of original capital, he can earn enough money in the capital market to save the family assets!

But now it seems that I still need to speed up the progress, so the initial amount of original capital is more important.

This is what he is doing now, trying to raise as much funds as he can use.

At this time, there are actually many financial investment opportunities.

For example, international oil prices have started to rise since the end of last year.

Now, the international oil price is around US$25 per barrel. Although there will be fluctuations in the future, it will generally be in an upward channel. It was not until mid-July 2008 that the international oil price reached a high point. Close to $7 per barrel.

It can be said that this is a long-term bullish opportunity, but in the short term, if you want to solve the current funding problem, you need a way that can produce faster results.

"Master Barron, there is something you need to decide."

At this time, the butler Sean said to Barron:

"It's about the arrangement of servants. Now we have three more personal servants at home. In addition, given our current situation, I'm afraid the previous configuration of servants can also be adjusted, which can save a lot of money..."

What the butler Sean was referring to was that after Barron's father, eldest brother and grandmother passed away, the trio's personal servants became redundant.

Moreover, now there is only one member of the Cavendish family, Barron, which means that he is the only master left in this manor. Therefore, the original scale of more than 30 servants has become very large. It’s too much and could be streamlined.

After all, as a butler, Sean must consider the main family first.

Speaking of these, we need to talk about some configurations of servants in noble families.

Generally in a traditional aristocratic family, there will be a butler who serves as the head of all servants.

Just like in the Cavendish family, the butler is Sean, who can usually be called the butler directly. He is responsible for coordinating and managing the affairs of the entire family, as well as taking care of some more valuable items, such as the wine cellar and silver tableware... …

In addition, there will be a housekeeper who is mainly responsible for managing the maids in the home. In addition to serving as the housekeeper's assistant, she is responsible for directing the tidying and cleaning of the home.

In the Cavendish family, the housekeeper is named Riley. She has been the housekeeper of the family since her mother's generation.

Then there is the cook, who is responsible for the affairs of the kitchen. Usually the cook, the male butler and the female housekeeper are all high-level servants.

The cook enjoys supreme rights in the kitchen. For example, at some family banquets, the cook has the right to refuse requests for meals other than the menus set in advance.

Then there are valets and valets. A valet is a servant who accompanies female members to take care of their daily life; a valet is a servant who accompanies male members to take care of their daily life.

As for other male servants and maids, when there are more than two, there will also be certain levels, such as chief male servant, first male servant, etc.

Therefore, for a family of the size of the Duke of Devonshire, it is very normal for each family member to have his own personal servant - even Barron stayed in London most of the time before, and the family made arrangements for him. Ramos, the valet.

So now, there is no need to retain the three redundant personal servants, which can also save the manor's expenses.

In addition, the original number of servants of more than 30 people can also be streamlined.

"How was it usually handled before?"

After hearing Barron's question, Butler Sean said:
