Wang Biyao said to Li Xiang: "I can understand their mood at the moment, after I was kidnapped and sold into slavery, I came to Rome from the Han Dynasty, how many winds, frosts, snow and rains, how many humiliations I endured, not to mention any ideals and hopes, until I met you in the slave market." He burst into tears.

"When it comes to thanksgiving, I want to thank you." Li Xiang said with emotion.

Zidane said: "Why do you say this? ”

"If it weren't for Baguio's guidance; It's not that you struggle; None of Orman's generosity would have helped me do what was most meaningful in my life, so on behalf of the nearly 250,000 people in the city who have been freed, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you! After Li Xiang finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

The crowd re-seated.

Li Xiang said to the players: "What are your plans for the future, let's hear about it." He turned to Ronaldo and said: "Ronaldo, you talk about it first!" I heard that a team is going to pay you a lot of money to play football, right? ”

"Yes, it's my hometown team."

"I remember, you're Spaniard, aren't you?"

Ronaldo nodded, "The people of Talaknanses in Spain." ”

Beckham excused himself: "Except for Zidane, all of them are recruited by major teams with high salaries." ”

"Oh?" Li Xiang said to Zidane: "Everyone praises your skills for being very good, you can be called the 'soul of the midfield', why don't you play?" ”

"My hobby is not football, it's winemaking."

"'Winemaking.'"

"I have an ideal."

"Tell me about it."

"I must have been inspired by you."

Li Xiang frowned and said, "Inspired by me? ”

"The other day, I came here for dinner, and I happened to have a casual conversation with the owner of this place, Apicius, and he said that you have an idea for him to open a chain of restaurants that specialize in branded hamburgers, and eventually sell this branded hamburger to the world."

"That's what I gave him."

"After hearing this, I thought about it for a few days and had a very bold idea, which was to buy my wine all over the world."

As soon as Li Xiang heard about the topic of business, he immediately became interested, "Tell me what you think." ”

"My hometown produces the best grapes in the world, and the best wines are made, and the wine that everyone drinks in their glasses is produced in my hometown."

"It's a good wine, indeed."

"If the best wine is distilled and stored in oak barrels in the same way as my family's ancestors, it will become a different flavor after a few years."

"What do you call this wine?"

"It's named after my family's surname, and it's called 'Bolandi.'"

"Brandy?" Li Xiang thought to himself: Could it be that the famous brandy was created by their family? And then he said, "Do you want to create a brand for your wine too?" ”

Zidane nodded, "My real name is Louis, and I am the thirteenth in the family, so my wine is called Louis XIII." ”

Li Xiang was surprised, "'Louis XIII'? ”

One question mark after another lingered in Li Xiang's mind, and it couldn't be dispersed for a long time.

***

Because the "Freedom Team" won the "Rome Cup", Li Xiang finally had the opportunity to practice his business ideals.

Li Xiang used his mobile phone to carefully calculate the accounts (for the convenience of calculation, Orris and Dinaris were converted to Sesters):

(1) The championship bonus income (2.8 million Sesters), the player bonus (2.3 million Sesters), and the balance ≈ 500,000 Sesters (about 8 million yuan);

(2) Gaming income (1 billion Sesters), slave purchase expenses (952 million Sesters), repayment of 10,000 Oris loans and interest (1,005,000 Sesters), and the balance ≈ 47 million Sesters (about 750 million yuan).

The total balance of the two balances together is 758 million.

"758, 'eat my hair', eat it and I'll send it!" , Li Xiang, who was a little superstitious about numbers, talked to himself excitedly.

***

With his great business ideals in mind, Li Xiang and his assistant Joseph came to the golden road that sounded extravagant.

Located at No. 1 Golden Avenue, a nondescript half-Greek, half-Roman double-storey building that looks a little dilapidated has attracted Li Xiang's attention.

Lee wanted to ask Joseph, "How can this building be guarded by guards?" ”

"This is the richest place in Rome, how can you do it without guards?"

"Is this the treasury of Rome?"

"Richer than the treasury."

"What? Can it be richer than the treasury? ”

"No matter how much money there is in the treasury, after all, there is in and out, and there can't be too much left in the treasury, and the money here is endless."

"Still a source of energy?" Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that this is the Roman mint?" ”

Joseph nodded and said, "This is the Roman Mint, and the coins minted flow from here to the whole country. ”

"'Mint', no wonder there are guards guarding the entrances and exits. Huh! I don't know how the money is made, but I really want to go in and have a look. ”

"The management of the Mint is ten times stricter than that of the army, and unless you become a treasurer, it is estimated that Augustus will have to approve it before you can enter."

"Then it still won't bother Augustus."

"Haven't you ever thought about becoming a treasurer?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"I think, treasurer, you should be."

"Why? I just want to go in and have a look, so there's no need to be a financial officer, right? ”

Joseph smiled and said, "As long as you become a treasurer, you don't just have free access to it. ”

"So what else?"

"It's up to you to decide the size and weight of the coin and the text on it."

"Sounds like something creative."

"I'm not joking with you, I'm serious."

Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Do you think there is anything unreasonable about Rome's current currency setting?" Reform is needed. ”

"'Reform'?" Joseph frowned.

Li Xiang explained: "It means change. ”

Joseph nodded.

"We'll talk as we walk, and I'll listen."

"There are only three currencies in Rome at the moment."

"I know, the gold coin Orris, the silver coin Denaris and the copper coin Sestes, 1 Oris can be exchanged for 25 Dinaris or 100 Sesters, I don't think there's anything wrong with it?"

"The problem is Sesters."

"What's the problem?"

"The problem is that there is currently no money smaller than Sesters, which is inconvenient for the poor."
