Chapter 141: Showing Off Your Wealth
One second to remember, providing you with high speed. With a long whistle and the crowd of people in the port to see them off, the Titanic, the dream ship of the pinnacle of industry in this era, slowly sailed away from the port of Southampton.
In one of the ship's lavish suites, Rose was working with her maid on her paintings.
"Isn't this one?" The maid asked.
"No, it's the one with a lot of faces," Rose pulled out her favorite one from the many paintings, "this is it."
"Do you have to take it all out?" The maid asked, looking at the large number of paintings.
"Of course, this room needs some color," Rose exclaimed, looking at the paintings, "like living in a dream, real but illogical".
"Do you want to hang those paintings? I think it's all a waste of money," Rose's fiancé, Calhockley, said after he came in to see the scene.
"That's what makes us different," Rose said dismayed, "I think it's great."
"What's the painter's name?" The maid on the side asked curiously.
"It's like Picasso or something." Rose thought slightly, as if it were the name.
"Picasso or something?" Carl sneered at this name he had never heard before, "He's not going to be famous, I promise."
But Karl would never have imagined that Picasso, who he couldn't mix with in his mouth, would become the world's leading painter a few decades later, and any of his paintings would be worth all of Carl's net worth.
"Degas's painting, hanging in the bedroom" ignored Karl's ridicule, and Rose still carefully explained to the maid the placement of the other paintings.
"It's all cheap," Carl drank from his glass rather boredly when Rose ignored him. The quilt was placed heavily on the tray.
"It seems that this Sister Rose has a lot of taste. The collection is full of paintings by famous painters in the future. Picasso's Maiden d'Avignon, portrait of Casville; Degas's Dancing Girl; Monet's Water Lilies; These are the best. In another luxury suite, seeing the footage from the surveillance, Zhao Hailun looked at the paintings and exclaimed, although she is a scientist, she is also interested in these precious works of art.
"Like, say. "Chen Feng is not interested in these artworks and other things at all, but since the girls around him like it, it is better to take them back." What the? You say this painting belongs to someone else? What are you kidding, in Chen Feng's opinion, from the moment he got on the ship, everything on this ship was already his.
At this moment, in the room, only Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun were there, and the other women all went outside to see the sea view. As for security. Get rid of the fighting power of those few women. Chen Feng should be worried about the safety of the people who provoked them.
"But you're so concerned about this Rose, are you interested in her?" Zhao Hailun asked with a little jealousy, in fact, before boarding the ship, Chen Feng had already sent people to install monitoring systems in all corners of the ship, so the movements in any corner of the ship could not be hidden from them.
"She? Of course not" Chen Feng shook his head decisively, although Chen Feng likes more sensual women, like Carter and Natalie, but the fat and warm in the movie is obviously not in line with Chen Feng's appetite, and although the love between Rose and Jack in the movie is very moving, the character of Rose is not liked by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng likes women with personality, but in his opinion, what Rose came out of is not personality, but more of a willfulness, in modern terms, that is, hypocrisy, not personality.
In Chen Feng's view, the real personality is to be extremely independent in all aspects, not to shout for so-called freedom while eating with his fiancé. Those who don't even have the ability to stand on their own, Chen Feng feels that these people are not worthy of talking about freedom.
And if it weren't for Jack's encouragement and the excitement of death, this girl would have been a canary for the rest of her life.
"Really?" Although Chen Feng swore an oath, Zhao Hailun had an expression of disbelief.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, how about going out for a walk together?" Chen Feng did not continue to dwell on this topic, because the result of you talking about another woman with a woman will always be reasonable and unreasonable, and choosing to divert the topic is always the most correct way.
Walking on the deck with a beautiful woman in hand, feeling the slightly cold but refreshing air of the Atlantic Ocean made Chen Feng feel more relaxed than ever.
Although they lived in the most luxurious suites and wore the most luxurious clothes, which attracted a lot of attention, it was obvious that Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun's skin color made them incompatible with the other people around them, and although these so-called "nobles" around them were very curious about the two, they were very tacitly away from the two.
However, Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun didn't care about the discriminatory eyes around them, the people around them looked down on them, Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun, didn't they take these people seriously? Aristocrat? And what happened to the aristocracy? It's like an ant looking at a lion with disdain, will the lion care? For Chen Fenglai, these people are just some ants that can be crushed to death.
However, just when Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun were enjoying the tranquility, the sudden commotion from the bow of the boat attracted the attention of Chen Feng and Zhao Hailun.
"Natalie, you're in trouble again" Chen Feng, who came to the place of the incident, saw Natalie standing in the center, and the crew members who fell to the ground around him, Chen Feng sighed helplessly.
"Hey, don't blame me for this" The 16-year-old version of Black Widow took Chen Feng's hand with an innocent face and said coquettishly, "I just want to go down there and take a look, these guys are holding on to life and death, and they want to do something to me."
The corner of the picket's mouth twitched, obviously you don't listen to the advice and want to break through, but you think so, but the picket chief doesn't dare to say that although Chen Feng is Asian, he lives in the most advanced suite on the ship, such a distinguished guest is not something that he can offend as a picket.
"Sir, we just want to persuade this sister not to go down to the lower class, after all, the lower class is mixed, and if something happens, it will be difficult for us to arrive in time," the chief picket explained after a moment's consideration.
"I understand, I'm sorry for the trouble for you" Chen Feng nodded and said, looking at the poor crew members lying on the ground, Chen Feng felt that he couldn't help it, of course he knew that things must be Natalie's fault, unlike Natasha, who has experienced a lot of things, although Natalie, who is only 16 years old, is not inferior to the adult Black Widow, but she has a girl's brutal nature.
"This money, show everyone the injury, if it is more, I will invite everyone to coffee" Chen Feng waved his hand, and a snake demon soldier dressed as a gentleman standing not far away stepped forward and escaped a stack of banknotes, and Chen Feng handed it directly to the chief picket.
Seeing Chen Feng's movements, the crowd of onlookers around couldn't help but hear bursts of gasping.
Not because of anything else, just because Chen Feng is too generous, because everyone can see it very clearly, the whole stack of banknotes is a large denomination of 100 pounds, such a stack, not to mention thousands of pounds, in this era, that is a lot of money.
Before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the British pound was still on the gold standard, one pound, equivalent to 7.3 grams of gold, an authentic gold pound, full of purchasing power, one pound is worth 100 pounds in the 21st century.
The wages of these crew members are only about ten pounds a month. That is, the money that Chen Feng gave casually, and the average share of the more than 10 injured crew members is worth more than a year's salary.
Show off your wealth, do you have wood? The flaunting of wealth of the red fruit is this.
At this moment, the eyes of the people around him were completely different when they looked at Chen Feng. Don't look at these first-class guys dressed like dogs one by one, with their heads facing the sky, but it is completely impossible for them to throw away thousands of pounds like this, in order to maintain their own extravagant life, many aristocratic rich people are actually unable to make ends meet, just like Rose's mother and daughter, in order to maintain their extravagant life, they can only marry Rose to a rich man like Carl.
So Chen Feng, who was generous, immediately entered the field of vision of these "nobles" at this moment, as long as he has money, what is his complexion?
It's just that everyone doesn't know that the reason why Chen Feng is so generous is entirely because the money was printed by himself...... With technology centuries ahead of the world, counterfeit money is real, no matter how fake it is. To be continued......
ps:  There was something yesterday, so I didn't change it, sorry
