Chapter 186: I see
(I suddenly found that there is a problem with the titles of some characters in this book.,I'll revise it in the next two days.,hey)
At one o'clock in the morning, Baron William finally woke up from his slumber again, and the first thing he had to do when he woke up was to check the accounts, and he wanted to know how much damage he had caused to the family because of his stupid judgment this time.
"Baron, because this time before the disaster, Wende was about to have a catastrophe, and then bought millions of catties of grain, the price of each catty of grain at that time was three to four bits, and when we bought it, it was five bits, counting some purchase funds, transportation costs, and funds returned after selling grain, this loss, this loss. ”
The chief butler frowned, holding the form in his hand, the steward counted the losses handed in, just swept the last line of numbers, his eyes immediately turned red, and his hands were still trembling wildly, in order not to appear so nervous, he also specially used his left hand to hold it, trembling even more powerful right hand, but his expression and words still can't deceive people.
Baron William could not hear the final reply of the butler for a long time, as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he could not enter or exit, which was particularly uncomfortable.
Immediately, his face turned black, and his right hand grabbed the bed veil violently, only to hear a hula, the black spar chain on the bed broke, and the spars fell to the ground one by one and scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said: Say, how much?
The chief butler hesitated for a second, and the next moment, the next moment, he fell to his knees with a thud.
Who is the chief butler? His status may sometimes not even be comparable to that of a baroness, not that he was born into a noble place, but this cheap slave is now only a fourth-class commoner.
But he did grow up with Baron William on the same mother's milk, lived together since childhood, understood each other, and had a good relationship with each other like brothers.
Sometimes even the baroness has to call her eldest brother when she sees an older butler.
People of this status are now so frightened that they have fallen to their knees, and among the other housekeepers and servants who are still in the room, have the courage to stand up.
In the frustration of time, a dull creaking sound came from the vermilion plank, and everyone fell to their knees, all with their heads bowed wisely, avoiding the gaze that Baron William cast at them.
Immediately afterward, everyone heard a dry voice coming from the throat of the chief butler.
"Baron, this time, due to our remedy, we left more than 100,000 catties of grain unsold in advance, and the situation was not so bad, and the trading house lost 250,000 crystals. ”
"That's okay, it's good that the loss isn't that big, but it's 250,000 ratios. What 200,000 crystals, are you sure it's not Bitcoin?"
At the beginning, when Baron William heard the words of the butler in front of him, he was still a little happy in his heart, and then he heard the number of 250,000 and thought it was Bitcoin.
Because the exchange of bitcoins into crystal coins is only more than 20,000, for a behemoth like the William family, it is not a loss at all, and Baron William is even more angry that he was played by the Windsor family and Yixiu this time.
But he quickly reacted that the big butler was not talking about bitcoin at all, but crystal coins that were a hundred times higher than its monetary value.
200,000 crystals is equal to 20 million bitcoins, unless it is at the level of an earl or duke, in addition, no matter which family it is placed in, this kind of loss will hurt and even hurt the muscles and bones.
Because this number is enough for the entire William family to support, twenty knights, two hundred knights to be served, can fully arm the William family.
But that's the case, not to mention that William's family has lost a lot of money, and they have stupidly lost the qualification to train a large number of knights and attendant knights.
Located on the border of the Hehuo Country, and the William family, which is simply ruling the family by force and fighting for power, it is no worse than a catastrophe.
Because the reason why the William family did not use this money to support a large number of knights before was because the money had always been piled up in the family's private treasury.
Some of this money comes from the rewards received by the first Viscount William and the wealth he has accumulated, and some is from the second generation, anyway, the huge wealth accumulated by his ancestors.
But in order to overwhelm the Windsor family in one game this time, Baron William automatically used the family's private treasury without the consent of the family elders.
200,000 crystal coins were taken out from it, but it was still not enough to buy millions of catties of grain, in order to make up this money, the William family secretly sold a large number of fields in secret, except for the manor where the William family lived, and even sold not even a single acre of land, so this money was collected.
As a result, overnight, the money was gone, and the face was lost.
Baron William was a thief who loved face in his life, otherwise he would not have had false information that he had killed one of his sons.
As a nobleman, he disregarded the etiquette and elegance of the nobles, and went to deal with an inferior person everywhere, and even regarded it as a thorn in the flesh.
Not to mention that the Windsor family was originally a merchant family, and in terms of status, there is no person like the William family who has inherited the blood of the gods and the ancestors are serious about being the god of fire, and they will fight against the Windsor family.
There is a little influence on the survival rules of the Atlantean aristocracy, but more often than not, Baron William himself has psychological problems, petty and extreme self-esteem.
So as soon as he heard the words of the grand butler, Baron William went crazy, and he laughed wildly,
"I see, I see. ”
He lay on the bed frantically flapping his two hands, sweeping everything that came close to him to the ground, but this state only lasted for ten seconds.
Immediately, his hands fell back to the bed.
At this moment, the originally high-spirited Baron William had already turned white overnight, a pair of triangular eyes had already sunken into the sockets, and the mouth was still dripping down.
Poor and hateful Baron William seemed to have come to the end of his life, and he no longer dwelled on the matter of success or failure, but opened and closed his parched lips with difficulty.
"What do you say, Baron?", the butler seemed to know something, gritted his teeth and spat out the words, and knelt on the ground rubbing his knees, slid all the way to Baron William's bedside, bent down, and listened to what Baron William had to say.
I saw that the chief butler kept nodding, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop dripping down.
After half a minute, the chief butler stood up, regained his original prestige as a superior person, and said in a deep voice to the outside.
"Come on, let's go!" Master William Warner came for him. ”
After a long time, a yawning William Warner walked into the room tiredly.
As a result, he saw his father's pitiful appearance, his face changed, and he ran to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, grabbed Baron William's hand, and said.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
"Young master, the baron doesn't have the strength to speak loudly, please pay attention. The chief butler reminded him.
When William Warner heard this, he immediately turned his ear, and the result was surprising that Baron William did not speak as quietly as he had done the previous times, basically no different from the croaking of flies, and turned his head to shout to all the servants present.
"I, Baron William, today and pass on my title to my youngest son, William Warner, my servants, please assist my son in the future, so that he can become a talent, I ask here. ”
With that, Baron William slowly closed his eyes in front of everyone, and her hand that had been holding William Warner tightly loosened.
"Daddy. ”
"Baron. . . ”
When Baron William died, the servants wept together, and William Warner also cried bitterly when he hugged Baron William.
In an instant, everyone was silent in the atmosphere of facing the shortest distance of death.
But while everyone was still crying, William Warner's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he shook off Baron William's body a little rashly.
When the servants looked at William Warner again, they found that his face had long since lost the grief of his dead father, but was filled with an unprecedented excitement.
"The Windsor family, you wait for me, you wait for me, I, William Warner, the current second generation of Baron William, will definitely make your death ugly!!"
William Warner stared at the front with burning eyes, and said faintly the bold words in his heart.
It seems that the impulsive William Warner has long been gone overnight, and there is a little more wisdom and a little more ruthlessness in his eyes.
And William Warner really thought of a beautiful poison plan to rectify what he thought was the culprit.
But as the next protagonist who was poisoned by the donor, I'm still happily drawing the prize.
