Chapter 68: My New Army, My Soldiers (4)
[Today is Christmas Eve, I wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance!] 】
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the soldiers of the New Army were discussing Wang Chenhao's affairs, the officers were no exception, and they were all figuring out the intentions of their superiors.
After getting off the boat, the officers returned to the office to rest. Jiang Guidi pulled out a table, on which was a large piece of white paper, and pen and ink were placed next to it.
Then, Jiang Gui picked up the brush and wrote on the paper how many days the gambling boss would hold on at most, how many taels of silver the gambling money would be, and the odds later.
After writing, Jiang Gui shouted: "Bet!" Place your bets! Handsome sparring, three days of foundation, two months of upper limit, twenty taels of silver as compensation, the odds are not limited, Tong Su is not bullied! ”
Jiang Guidi, the highest-ranking general in the Beiyang New Army, shouted loudly, and immediately a large group of officers surrounded him.
Liang Huadian glanced at the gambling contract and said with a smile: "It's only been three days? I also look down on our handsome family, for the sake of our handsome and wise and powerful, I bet that the handsome will last for four days at most, and one will lose five. ”
Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Gong Yuanyou, Wang Yingkai and others who were watching next to them suddenly burst into laughter, thinking that Liang Huadian would guess for more than seven days, but it turned out to be one day longer than Jiang Gui's question, and they immediately cast a contemptuous look.
Liang Huadian just laughed, and then took out a hundred taels of silver to Jiang Gui, who wrote down the gambling money on a piece of paper.
"Don't stand stupid! Go on, go on. Jiang Gui continued to shout after finishing the inscription.
A cadre of officers, you look at me, I look at you, but they feel different about this gambling contract, so they bet one after another.
Gong Yuanyou said: "Look at the physique of the handsome, we don't have any bottom in our hearts, I bet that he will last for five days at most, and I will bet fifty taels!" ”
"That's what I said, I've seen enough of our handsome's physique, at most for a week, I also bet fifty taels and gambled." When Feng Guozhang said and laughed, he had already taken out fifty taels of silver tickets and handed them to Jiang Gui.
Then a group of officers made bets one after another, betting that Wang Chenhao could hold out for a week, followed by half a month.
"You're too realistic!" Wang Yingkai came to inquire and came up at this time and said: "Why are they all handsome in our family, he is an old man who comes up to spar, who dares to come with him for real?" When the time comes, who will train whom? You guys, you lack strategic vision. I bet that Dashuai can hold on for a month, one to ten, two hundred taels of silver tickets, Lord Jiang, you have taken it. ”
Hey, this guy is rich, but the big guys pay more attention to his words, and they all think that when they meet Wang Chenhao, they will definitely not be able to train hard, and it is necessary to release the water.
Duan Qirui felt reasonable, if the training was released, let alone a month, two months would be able to persevere, so Duan Qirui offered fifty taels to bet that Wang Chenhao would be able to hold on for two months.
Immediately after, several groups of people who came behind placed bets between a month and two months. Most of the generals bet about 50,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of officers participated in the bets, including German instructors, and the total amount of gambling money was as high as 20,000 taels.
After counting the gambling funds, Jiang Gui said with a smile: "Those brothers who can hold on to the gambling boss for more than a month are estimated to be discounted, see?" Even the German instructors have bet, this water release problem definitely does not exist, you just wait to lose. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
At this moment, Wang Shizhen, deputy secretary general of Wang Chenhao, rushed to hear the news and was immediately surrounded by all the officers.
Jiang Guidi held a dozen silver tickets in his left hand and a gambling deed in his right hand, and smiled at Wang Shizhen: "Lord Wang, it's better to hurry up and get a part." ”
Everyone coaxed, Wang Shizhen was the secretary next to Wang Dashuai, and he must know reliable information about Wang Dashuai.
Wang Shizhen said with a smile: "My lord heard that it was very lively here, so let me take a look, and by the way, I also had a good time." The adult said that since he was betting on him, then the adult should sit in the bank. ”
Wang Chenhao sat in the village, and the officers suddenly became excited, and hurriedly asked about the rules.
Wang Shizhen said with a smile: "My lord said, my lord sits in the village and lays a hundred taels, from now until the autumn season, the odds will be increased every week, what do you think?" ”
From now to the autumn season, there are still 24 weeks, and the odds are capped at 1 to 24, and if you win 100 taels, you can turn over 1 or 2,000 taels of silver.
The officers exchanged words with each other, and soon some people took the lead in placing bets, and then the big guys followed suit, with bets ranging from one hundred taels to five hundred taels, and the odds ranged from one to twenty-four.
Wang Shizhen recorded them one by one, and in the end, the gambling money was as high as 100,000 taels of silver, and everyone exclaimed, if Wang Chenhao wins, he will make a net profit of 100,000 taels, but if he loses, he will have to pay nearly one million taels.
After the gambling contract was decided, Wang Chenhao came in from outside, and everyone stood up and saluted, shouting in unison: "My lord! ”
Wang Chenhao nodded and went straight to Wang Shizhen. Wang Shizhen reported the results, Wang Chenhao looked at the more than 30 pages of gambling deed records, more than 600 officers' names, gambling funds, and odds were recorded on it, and the total amount of gambling funds was as high as 100,000 taels, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone really looks up to us, I don't know how to spend 100,000 taels of silver." ”
Wang Chenhao smiled, as if he was sure of victory, and the officers looked at each other, not knowing what medicine Wang Chenhao bought in his gourd.
"Your Excellency won't be in debt if you lose then, right?"
Jiang Gui's question immediately resonated with the big guys, if Wang Chenhao was in charge, they would have nowhere to reason, so they started to coax.
Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "The big husband is hard to chase after him, and I won't repay the debt." As he spoke, Wang Chenhao picked up the brush and wrote his name crookedly on the gambling deed behind the dealer.
When everyone looked closer, they were immediately relieved. However, they didn't dare to compliment their handsome line of chicken-like brush words, and they couldn't hold back and didn't dare to laugh.
However, Wang Chenhao is very fond of this line of calligraphy, after all, it is much stronger than when he first came.
"Dashuai won't find someone to release water then, right?"
The crowd casually asked another question, and Wang Chenhao said: "Of course not, isn't that cheating?" Since we gambled, we had to follow the rules. ”
Wang Chenhao was categorical and promised not to cheat, and then said: "However, I am busy with affairs every day, and I can only spare two hours to participate in training. In the event of an emergency, the day's training may be cancelled. ”
Jiang Gui said suddenly: "Then the adults are busy with affairs every day, so there is no need to train, aren't we determined to lose?" ”
The officers were in an uproar.
Wang Chenhao explained: "Everyone is not impatient, everyone can supervise my work, if I owe one day, then I will make up for it the next day, train for four hours, and so on." If I don't make it up before the fall, even if I lose. Of course, if you don't think it's suitable for you, you can give up now. ”
The officers also knew that Wang Chenhao was different from them, and that there were many things to do in the new army, and it was understandable that Wang Chenhao was right.
Despite this, the officers looked at Wang Chenhao, who had fine skin and tender meat, and still didn't believe that he could persevere, so everyone nodded after talking to each other for a while and continued to gamble.
Wang Chenhao smiled and said, "Since this is the case, the gambling contract will officially take effect, and the big guy should not cry when the time comes." ”
Saying that, Wang Chenhao laughed a few times again and left, and Wang Shizhen followed closely, leaving hundreds of officers looking at each other one by one, unable to understand their handsome intentions.
Wang Chenhao took the gambling contract all the way back to his office, and when he opened it again, he smiled again. Wang Shizhen, who followed behind, held several dozen silver tickets in both hands and put them on the desk together. He smiled, "Your Excellency seems to be quite sure." ”
Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "Two hours a day, I still insist on this, these officers look at my fine skin and tender meat and think that I can't hold on, then they are very wrong." ”
Wang Shizhen didn't say a word, and after sorting out the silver tickets, he asked, "My lord, I'll deposit this gambling money in the bank for you, right?" ”
Wang Chenhao waved his hand and said, "It's too wasteful to deposit 100,000 taels of silver in the bank, and you have to pay a custody fee if you deposit it, it's not worth it!" ”
Wang Shizhen looked at Wang Chenhao and waited for him to continue speaking.
Wang Chenhao took a dozen silver tickets and played with them in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "100,000 taels of silver, can you do some side jobs?" ”
"Doing a side hustle?" Wang Shizhen's face was suddenly full of surprise.
