53. Treasure is revealed
After a while, I saw four strong men walking in slowly carrying a beech box wrapped in iron bars, and put the box down carefully.
Bardi said, "Turn it on." β
One of the brawny men lifted the lid of the wooden box.
Suddenly, the dazzling golden light shone directly into people's hearts.
Bardy walked to the wooden box, grabbed a handful of them, and let go of his hand, only to see pieces of gold coins slipping from his hands, and said to Li Xiang: "Brother, here is the 10,000 Oris you want to exchange." β
Li Xiang walked over and saw a box full of gold coins, looking a little at a loss. I thought: Although I used to be worth tens of billions, most of the time I saw it was just a long list of numbers, but now I was facing real money, and I immediately felt that my pupils were significantly dilated; The heartbeat is markedly faster; Blood pressure has risen significantly!
Faced with the sudden appearance of a box of gold coins in front of her, Sildura reacted extremely violently, hysterically exclaiming, "This is impossible! Isn't the money in the bank already been...", and then stopped.
Baldi smiled and said, "Letting your men exchange all the cash in all the money houses in the city of Rome can prevent others from betting on the 'Liberty' from you, saving both face and money..."
Li Xiang said: "... Ouch! It's a two-bird solution!
Baldi said, "What a pity! Such a ploy seems a bit naΓ―ve. β
Sidullah whispered, "'Childish'? β
"Because you, Sidula, are so laymen in the 'money business' that you don't even know the minimum 'reserves'."
Sidullah and Gauljah said in unison: "'Reserves'? Then, they looked at each other.
Perucki said: "In order to prevent malicious sabotage by competitors and artificially create a 'run', as long as there is an abnormal decrease in the 'reserves' of any bank, it must be reported to the head office in a timely manner, otherwise, the bank's credit will suffer serious losses." β
Medici said, "Let's be clearer! The night before yesterday, my brothers had received an urgent report that the various banks in the city of Rome had appeared one after another, so we arranged for the branches in other regions to allocate enough cash and transport them to the city of Rome one after another, and due to the distance, the first batch of 'aids' to the Florence and Milan branches had just arrived in the city of Rome. β
Sidullah looked at the four of them with strange eyes and said, "Who are you?" β
Li Xiang took a few steps forward and said, "Do you still need to ask such a mentally retarded question?" If you know so much about the 'money industry', of course you are a 'professional'! β
"Didn't I hear you say that they were governors?" Why did you become a 'professional' in the 'money and bank industry' again in a blink of an eye? Don't bluff me! β
Li Xiang shook his head, sighed, and said, "I now have more and more doubts about the authenticity of you, the 'richest man', and your IQ is inevitably too low!" β
Sidullah said: "'IQ'? Then he looked at Gaulje.
Gaulje shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know what it meant.
"I don't even know what IQ is, it seems that your IQ is even lower than I imagined!" Li Xiang said.
Sidula frowned and said, "I don't even know what nonsense you're talking about, what does it have to do with me!" β
"I mean you have a low IQ!" The richest man'! β
Sidullah said angrily, "You say I have a low IQ? β
"Isn't it? You have used all the despicable means to redeem all the cash in all the money houses in the city of Rome, and where did the chest of gold coins in front of you come from? β
Sidullah did not answer.
Li Xiang continued: "Let's tell you the truth! My four eldest brothers are the big bosses of the 'Big Four'. β
"The boss of the 'Big Four'?"
"What? Don't believe it! β
Sidullah looked at the four again.
At this time, Gaulje whispered to Sidullah: "I remember that the governors of the four provinces in Greece are the bosses of the 'Four Great Banks', and these four people were all promoted by Li to become governors. β
Sildura fell silent.
"Now believe I'm not bluffing you, right?" Li Xiang asked.
Baldi said, "Actually! It doesn't matter if a few of us are governors or bosses, the key is that you are a gambling house here, you only recognize money, not people, and if you have money, you are guests, right, Sidulla?
Sidullah forced a smile and said, "Yes! That's a good point. β
Li Xiang said to Sidula: "Then don't delay everyone's precious time, hurry up and arrange for your subordinates to come and collect the money!" If the 'closure' time has passed, how can I still place a bet? β
Gauljah looked at Sidula.
Sidulla said listlessly, "What are you doing in a daze? Ask someone to count the box of gold coins, and then give them a 'bet slip' according to the actual number. β
Gauljah had no choice but to arrange for his men to do what Sidullah said.
Li Xiang said to Bardi: "There are some things that I haven't figured out yet, how do you know that I'm here?" And a box of gold coins was specially delivered? β
Bardy smiled and said, "It all starts with the ticket you are holding." β
"'Redeem the ticket'?" Li Xiang looked at the 'special redemption ticket' in his hand."
Bardi explained: "Since we gave you this exchange ticket that can be exchanged through the four villages, we have taken special care of the money bank to prepare this ten thousand Orris, because the four banks are not particularly far away, so this box of gold coins is kept in the 'vault' of the Roman gold and silver street branch of my Bardi bank, and it has not been touched. β
"Huh? Then why did I send someone to take this redemption ticket to your four money banks to cash it out successively, and your guys didn't all refund this redemption ticket on the grounds that the cash was redeemed. β
Bardy explained: "Ten thousand Oris! But a large amount of money, the money bank will not hastily pay this money without seeing you in person, besides, each money bank has appeared 'sitting branch', fortunately, the shopkeeper of my money bank kept an eye and sent someone to follow behind the two people who came with the redemption ticket, only to see you in this gambling house. Coincidentally, Medici and I got tickets to the final of the 'Rome Cup' given by the Senate, came to Rome to watch the football game, and by the way went to the money bank to deal with the problem, and the shopkeeper told me that someone had cashed out the ticket and found you in the gambling house. β
"Oh? I think so! Do the eldest brothers all have 'clairvoyance' and can see my whereabouts at a glance? β
Baldi smiled.
Li Xiang continued: "Then since you know that I am in the gambling house, why do you dare to give me the money?" Aren't you afraid that if I lose all of them, I won't have the money to pay you back? β
"It's not like we haven't thought about this issue, but after discussion by the four of us, we finally decided to send you the money."
"Huh? Why? β
"Because we believe in the strength of the 'Freedom Team', we will definitely win the championship."
"Oh? Even the purpose of my visit to the gambling house, can a few big brothers guess? Li Xiang gave a thumbs up of his right hand as he spoke, expressing his admiration.
"Not only that, but I also guessed the ultimate purpose of your 'big bet' with 10,000 Orris." Bardi said.
