C2078 Two hundred thousand pounds (1/2)

Xiao Letian and Zai Chun had a deep relationship with master and son, but behind them, within the command cabin of Zhiyuan Warship, a group of young military officers was gritting their teeth.

Jin Sanshun stared at Zai Chun's back until his eyes were about to spew fire, and muttered: ”Ah, two hundred thousand, a full two hundred thousand pounds for this little ingrate? What does the Head of the Guards think, and what does he think? ”

Lin Zhen sloppily said with a cigarette in his mouth, ”What else can I think about? Acting, isn't it because I hope that our 'emperor' will sell us a little less? With such a big scale, the future will be ours! If he sells all of it, wouldn't Master die from swindling?”

Cai Bixia sighed and shook his head: ”I'm afraid you're wrong, you want to sell it for two hundred thousand? Dream on, all of Zai Chun's actions were not something that he could decide, no matter how young he was, he had to consider his status … I feel that these two hundred thousand were personally given to Zai Chun by the head of state. It doesn't have any deeper meaning, it's just a gift from father to his son who is about to establish himself! ”

”F * ck!” Jin Sanshun cursed in a low voice, ”You said giving out two hundred thousand was free? Master, what's wrong? Do you know how difficult it is for me to be a part of this family? Didn't the United Fleet have to spend money on food and drinks along the way? ”Even if the British provided some supplies, I have already calculated that by now, the expenses have exceeded 2.4 million silver dollars …”

”Aren't you saving the flowers? This time, we brought out 8 million silver taels in cash. We even have to fight in the later stages of the war. ”My heart hurts, my heart hurts …”

Jin Sanshun was the Chief Steward of the entire fleet, he was responsible for the internal affairs of the Zhiyuan Warship. The army was originally a gold-eating beast, and adding on that, although Prussia side had provided them with logistics, the war was always uncertain. No one could place their hopes on anyone else.

So this time, the fleet brought along countless of arms supplies, and their cash brought in over eight million. I heard that Wang Huaiyuan also brought up a batch of CIA's gold, but even Jin Sanshun himself didn't know how much it would cost.

It was true that there was a lot of money, but it all depended on what it was spent on. If the family had enough money to spend for ten lifetimes, but to fight and kill people, this much money was not enough. A single shot from the Zhiyuan Warship would cost more than twenty thousand silvers, which showed how cruel this war was.

Jin Sanshun had already received the Leader's order to offer two hundred thousand to Zai Chun. This fatty did not dare to disobey the Leader's order, but the Head of the Guards could not suppress him and not complain.

”Does his Qing Dynasty not have money? The Forbidden City sent so many national gifts, yet they didn't send any money? Zai Chun is the emperor of the Great Qing, not one of us, what right do we have to give him money? ”

”I say, let's go to the Führer together. I don't believe there's no place for us to negotiate!”

It was only then that Xiang Ying finally laughed coldly and said, ”What are you shouting about? He's willing to play the part of a father and son, can you stop him? You, Jin Sanshun, are only a butler, yet you really want to be the manager? If you gave me the two hundred thousand, then so be it. We stole a sum from the French in Port Said anyway, and didn't spend our own money … ”

”Don't worry, master has his own master to consider. In our Asian cultural tradition, master and disciple, ah!” ”They are master and disciple. The relationship between the leader and us is not like the relationship between teachers and students in the West. It is more like the relationship between masters in the Confucian school …”

”If the leader doesn't pay, then today's matter really won't end well. How can a father like his son, Dan Fei, not have a starting fund? If Master can treat Zai Chun like this, then she will not treat us poorly in the future … ”

”Furthermore, these things are just for show to the British. Look at Duke of Newcastle's aggressive attitude, this is just a test for us. I feel that the leader is going to start acting like a pig and eat the tiger.

”Pah …” Lin Zhen opened the window and threw out the cigarette in his mouth into the wind, causing sparks to fly out into the ocean.
