The League dinner ended up at the Alessandro Hotel, which wasn't the best hotel in Rome, but it was one of the best hotels. Hearing that the new Minister of Transport, His Excellency Ziano, would also be present, the hotel manager was as busy as a spinning top, not only gave up the best and most luxurious boxes, but also specially ordered the best chefs and the best dishes to be sent here, from morning to evening, the whole day, and finally not only gave Contini a VIP card, but also deliberately discounted 20%.

Even if it is 20% off, it took more than 10,000 lira, and the members of the alliance are smacked, on the one hand, shocked by the luxury of the hotel, on the other hand, shocked by the high price, and at the same time full of anti-that this is the first time they have sat down to eat with a senior government official, although the Minister of Transport is not the most top-notch in the government departments, but for students who have just entered the university, it is still very attractive. All the members of the newspaper, regardless of their usual appearance, were all dressed in formal attire today, and the female students were all dressed up in fancy clothes, and they arrived at the venue early to wait for His Excellency the Minister to arrive.

Po Ji teased them next to him: "I said why are you dressed up so beautifully? This is not the way to approach His Excellency, Calais is here today, and I see that he will not settle accounts with you when he returns. ”

"Hmph, Calais doesn't say anything, I want you to take care of it!" Now everyone is familiar with this gentleman, and they talk casually.

"You're not friendly...... You must know that this dinner party is out of my son's pocket. ”

"Got it, you have money, why don't you invite us again tomorrow......"

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Poti turned his head abruptly and said nothing.

Contini knew that this guy was actually proud in his heart: let him speculate on public debts, this boy didn't know how to persuade Glandini, and he was abducted nearly 300,000 lire from his home, and he was surprisingly bold, so he directly threw himself into it, and asked him what he bought, and even he didn't know anything. Fortunately, this over-falling rebound is a general rise, and the varieties bought blindly are also rising with the tide, but because he entered the market several days late, he only ate a fish tail in the end, and earned nearly 200,000 lira before he stopped.

He wanted to brag about it again, first by calling Glandini and then in front of the members of the Alliance, only to be caught by a bunch of directors for a treat, and finally turned into paying for the banquet - which made him bleed.

Compared with Poti, Contini is much more mature and stable in everyone's minds, neither boasting about how much money he makes, nor putting on a show of having a father who is a minister, usually looks very low-key, but whether it is speeches, debates, or writing articles, they are all very outstanding - these female classmates are not so much dressed as old Ciano as they are dressed for Contini. But how could the latter have the heart to think about these things - he is not really little Ziano after all, he still has his wife and children before crossing in his head, and he can't make him forget everything at once and start from scratch or even fight with other women right away, which violates his principles of being a man.

This kind of performance is praised in the eyes of others: it is really a rich second generation and a second generation of officials from an aristocratic background, low-key, introverted, self-contained, and magnanimous, which is different from Bo Ji's gentleman, and the eyes of several girls are shining......

The hour hand pointed to 6 o'clock, and everyone went down to greet the old Ciano, and in less than five minutes the latter's car appeared in the field of view - first the secretary got out of the car, then the commissioner, and finally the new Minister of Transport, Mr. Costanzo Ziano.

The hotel manager on the side hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to welcome, and the old Ciano first shook hands with him, thanking him for his careful preparation, and then shook hands with everyone to thank them for their hard work all the time - if there was no son of his own, he could explain the past with a few words, but now the son is inside, and makes it clear that these are his team in the league, and the father can't say a few more words.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, and today I am grateful as a father for your help to Calais, both as a father and on behalf of the leader. From Calais, I learned that you had done a great job for the establishment of the Alliance, for the arrival of the Black Shirts, for the governance of the leaders and for the promotion of ideas, and from you I saw the youthful image of the young generation of Italians, and felt the patriotic feelings of down-to-earth and dedication, and I was very happy and grateful. The future of Italy is promising, and as long as we follow this right path, the goal pursued by the leaders and all of you - the prosperity of Italy - will be realized as soon as possible with our joint efforts! ”

Everyone applauded the encouragement and then took a group photo together in front of the hotel, and needless to say, this photo and related news will surely make the front page headlines of Youth Daily tomorrow.

Contini saw more in the excited eyes of the crowd: with the approval of the top level of the government, with the foreshadowing of the first hit, with unprecedented conditions, this team will definitely be able to play its role further, and will definitely be able to spread its influence from Rome to the whole of Italy.

Mussolini's arrangement of a special correspondent for the "Youth Daily" is very interesting, he used to be the secretary of the old Chiano, and now the "People's Daily" is the deputy editor-in-chief and concurrently serves as the head of the external liaison department. In fact, Mussolini also thought so, after all, "Youth Daily" was single-handedly pulled up by Contini, he only gave 50,000 lire at the beginning, but he made so much credit to him, it is reasonable that he should not interfere too much. Of course, the commissioner still has to be sent, but his main focus is still on the "People's Daily", and the "Youth Daily" is only a symbolic management relationship, after all, it is impossible for Contini to sing against his father.

Old Chiano sat for more than half an hour, chatted with everyone for a while, toasted once and prepared to leave - after all, he is a government minister, his status is here, it is impossible to accompany this group of college students for a night, and he can also see that with him and the commissioner, everyone can't let go.

Before leaving, where only father and son were there, Contini took out a check from his suit pocket: "Father, this is the financial support you gave me a few days ago. ”

"You didn't spend it?"

"I used it, and I made some money."

Old Chiano looked at the number written on the returned check as 180,000 lira, and laughed: "It seems that you have earned a lot." ”

"It's really okay, I earned more than 500,000."

"How much?"

"More than 500,000!" Contini told the story of speculation in the capital market.

"Since you have this ability, I won't take back this money, keep it for you to continue to use."

"But you need money too."

"No need to ......" Old Chiano looked at no one around him, and said in a low voice, "I just became a minister, and a bunch of people came to send money, all of them are important people, and they will have to deal with them in the future, and they can't be collected if they don't collect them, so there is no shortage of money for the time being, you can keep this money and continue to use it." ”

"That'...... What if I ask you for another sum? ”

"How much?"

"10 million is not okay? Preferably 20 million! ”

"You?" Old Ziano was taken aback, "What do you want so much money for?" ”

"I have another speculative target chosen, and I plan to do it well, but the situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it in a few words."

"So, I have other banquets to attend now, I'll be waiting for you in the office tomorrow morning, I'll have an hour to spare at 8-9 o'clock, and the leader will call us for a meeting after 9 o'clock, one hour is enough for you to make it clear, right?"

"Enough, enough, I'll sort it out today and report back to you tomorrow."

Old Chiano patted Contini on the shoulder: "Child, don't put too much pressure, you have done a great job, even better than I imagined, let's not rush, we can take our time......"
