Ask, of all the powers in the world,
What is the simplest and most complex power available to all
If you ask me to answer - it should be 'economic'.
To put it bluntly, it is money.
It does not have any material value in itself, but under the will of the whole society's common concept, it has the power to purchase, occupy, determine status, and even control life and death.
In the manor on the outskirts of Milan, sitting in a black suit on the seat of the pavilion for afternoon tea in the garden, Fangran crossed his legs and rested his cheek on the armrest with his left hand. The servants in the manor are busy.
Gold, or should I say the power of money, is really strong,
This beautiful estate in a good location had been his since last night.
The trembling Viscount Barofi, who was a little scared by the last blow, sent someone to complete all the procedures as quickly as possible, and then hurriedly left Milan with a group of his personal servants, leaving only the Some ordinary servants who are normally employed are responsible for the garden, cleaning, and kitchen.
Originally, this should have been a very troublesome matter, from initial negotiation to bargaining, to the final decision, transaction and signing of the contract...
But the large amount of premium gold made everything easier. He even had people rehire suitable housekeepers and maids from the city of Milan before dark last night, although perhaps those who held far more than they could get The coursing of money seems extravagant and foolish to the people,
But Fangran didn't care. After all, to him, a piece of gold and a box of gold were just 1% and 5% that would not take long.
"Master, I have prepared black tea for you, please use it slowly."
One of the newly hired head maids walked under the gazebo with a tray, and gently placed the enamel teacup on the table in Fangran's hand. She didn't take the dessert cake for afternoon tea because she was sitting on the other chair The girl is eating a chiffon cake with soft cream with a fork,
By the way, that chiffon cake is also 1%.
"Ah, thanks, Sharon."
The woman named Sharon is a typical European female face. After seeing the price offered by Fangran, the maid who took the initiative to recruit can also serve as a housekeeper. It is not a beautiful and ordinary appearance, but her facial features are correct. Fangran and Ling handled the matter that the manor took over in an orderly manner. They are really rare talents in this industry.
Although they couldn't understand each other, Fangran still instinctively said thank you. In fact, he has never been served so much from morning to night, and to be honest, he hasn't seen so many things he threw out yesterday. gold,
Speaking of which, how much did he spend these two days
I don't know the specific price in this era, but Fangran didn't care, and told himself to get used to it, because the night he left Yier with Ling in his arms, he made up his mind to give Ling the best life in this era. His unaccustomed flinches had to be dropped.
Maybe boys are creatures who always take responsibility and become mature for the happiness of others.
Until now, Fangran has finally been captured by the "temptation" that Veronica has been showing to him all the time, arranging open schemes, and he understands more clearly at what height his "similar" figure stands. Understand the power of 'money'.
What was it like
To give some very real examples, you don’t have to sacrifice your health for money, you don’t have to waste time to save money, and you can boldly say to the girl you like, ‘I support you! '.
There is no choice phobia, you can have what you want, and if you don’t like it, put it aside instead of keeping it or eating it if you feel sorry for the price.
I feel more secure, no matter what I do, I feel more confident and confident, and I don’t have any inferiority complex while riding a bicycle and looking at the luxury cars on the side of the road.
No need to compete, no need to grab, no need to socialize for the sake of socializing, people will naturally come to know you, learning is only out of voluntary and self-improvement, not for finding a job,
In the morning, I saw a place with a particularly beautiful foreign scenery on the news. In the afternoon, I took a plane to play. I took a small bag to go wherever I wanted to go, buy what I lacked, and mailed souvenirs home directly, purely for enjoyment.
Such a big and beautiful world, to do what you like, to go to a stable job where you have to go to work every day,
..
...
Life is not survival, it is living,
That's about it.
It's incredible that Fangran now feels that he can do all these things,
For the first time, I really had this feeling, felt the power given to me by 'money',
Independent of the 'combat', it also belongs to the strength of the participants.
Vaguely, he felt that he was getting closer to Ye Sheng and other people in the bureau. It wasn't the night when the hot night in the city ended and everyone felt that they were in the same world, but from some unexplainable place. ,
He felt that he had slightly caught up with everyone in the game,
I feel more like a participant.
Perhaps this is the purpose of Su Qun asking for recovery and throwing him to the Sacred Heart Hospital for a day,
Although he did it a little late.
Suddenly, Fangran looked at the manor villa in the early twentieth century, and thought of the words of that figure in the garden in Moshui Linglang.
growing up
With a helpless smile, he sighed and recovered from his trance. Fangran looked at the girl in the gothic skirt sitting in the shade. The black stockings in cowhide boots were shaking slightly on the seat.
"Hey, Ling, do you want to go outside?"
Fangran put the teacup on the saucer, leaned his arms on the table and looked at the girl who was so amazed at the taste of the cream chiffon cake, blinked and smiled and suggested, and his purpose of saying that was not because of anything else ,just because of...
Living in such a large manor, the life of a rich noble is really boring.
Because the oil painting-like life texture and exquisite and elegant life attitude you saw in the movie are all those nobles in this era dare not think about it every day.
Well, it may be exaggerated to say so, but Fangran thinks it is true, because from the description (translated by Ling to him) from Sharon, the people in the noble family where she worked before,
Dressing up, drinking tea, chatting, reading, shopping, enjoying what you can enjoy every day, and improving yourself and the quality of life every day by 'keep improving'. This should be the vast majority of the so-called 'nobles' in this country in this era man silhouette,
No wonder Italy fought like that in World War I...
Thinking of this in his heart, Fangran saw Ling who had finished eating the last piece of cake with a silver fork, blinked her eyes wide, then jumped off the chair gently, walked to him obediently,
Fangran looked at the cream on the corner of her mouth and smiled helplessly, knelt down to wipe her off with the napkin on the table, then took her hand and got up, and said to the head maid who had been standing behind them:
"Sharon, help me prepare the carriage."
Ling, who was holding his hand, looked up at him with her delicate face. Fangran just remembered that Sharon couldn't understand what he was saying, and this time it was the girl who turned around and looked at the smiling one. Sharon spoke briskly:
"Sharon, help us prepare the carriage."
The head maid who had been smiling and standing behind the two bowed gracefully and said:
"Okay, Miss, Young Master, I'll go and tell the coachman to prepare."
