RNP Chapter 387: As long as there's enough gold
Chapter 387: As long as there's enough gold
Upon hearing this, Wu Shih-hao was immediately moved and stood up, taking Lei Luo's hand.
"Brother, that's all I have to say. From now on, no matter what good or bad things happen, or even if you retire, come find me anytime. If you go there, you'll definitely become incredibly wealthy."
Lei Luo gripped his hand tightly and nodded firmly.
Lei Luo was absolutely devoted to this brother.
If it weren't for Lao Mo protecting him, he might actually have to go after Wu Shih-hao one day.
While Wu Shih-hao was preparing at home, Old Murdoch and Princess Anne had already boarded a plane to England.
There was no other way; his affair with Princess Anne couldn't be delayed.
Anyway, with Princess Anne around, he can enter the space at any time without affecting his ability to do anything in Hong Kong and Thailand.
Princess Anne had already called home before returning.
So, a day later, Old Murdoch met Princess Anne's parents at her home.
In the English-style hall, Princess Anne's parents sat high above in the main seats.
At this moment, their expressions were not good. As queens, they already knew about Old Murdoch and Princess Anne's affair.
The only little cabbage in the family was eaten by the pig; no wonder he looked so happy.
Old Murdoch and Princess Anne walked in.
Looking at the two people in the main seats, Old Mo cupped his hands in a Chinese greeting.
"Old Mo greets His Majesty and His Highness the Prince."
That's right, Princess Anne's father is a prince.
The Queen's expression was extremely unfriendly: "Mr. Chen, I was very grateful to you for saving my daughter before. But now, what kind of mess is this? How do you plan to resolve this?"
Old Mo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is like this, I intend to marry Princess Anne."
The Queen slammed her hand on the armrest and roared, "You want to marry her? What do you have to offer? You're a married man now, how can you marry her?"
That's right, polygamy is allowed in Hong Kong, but not in England.
Old Mo replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, in Hong Kong, it is not illegal to have multiple wives."
"Bang bang..."
The Queen excitedly slapped the armrest, making a loud thumping sound.
"Mr. Chen, how dare you! You want my daughter to be your concubine?"
Old Mo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty misunderstands. In England, Anne is my only wife. Please grant my request."
I'll grant your wish, my foot!
The Queen almost cursed.
"Impossible! Are you trying to rub our royal family's face into the ground? That's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Mr. Chen, although you saved my daughter, that cannot justify your mistreatment of her.
Princess Anne grew anxious and opened her mouth to speak.
Old Mo grabbed her and shook his head at her.
Provoking the mother now is definitely not a wise choice. After all, he's going to marry her daughter.
Old Mo said sincerely, "Your Majesty misunderstands. I did not mistreat Princess Anne. How about this, I will provide a betrothal gift, one that satisfies Your Majesty, OK? I suppose Your Majesty is quite short of money right now?"
For Lao Mo, if a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem.
The Queen was so angry she laughed.
"Mr. Chen, I feel offended. How can you, an ordinary person, talk to a queen about money?"
This is indeed a bit ridiculous. People are saying they want to give an emperor money, and even give him money to his satisfaction. How much money could possibly satisfy an emperor?
Old Mo said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, since you don't like money, then let's use gold instead. For marrying Princess Anne, I'll give you a ton of gold as a dowry, how about that?"
"Huh? A ton of gold?"
Beside him, Princess Anne's father stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but exclaim.
Even though they were royalty, they were taken aback by Old Mo's extravagant spending.
Yes, they are royalty, they have plenty of money, but they lack gold!
This thing is extremely important to a country. I won't go into details; those who understand, understand.
The Queen was also somewhat moved; this was a ton of gold! Even if Princess Anne cut it open, it wouldn't be worth that much money by the gram!
The Queen's voice finally softened somewhat as she said, "Mr. Chen, this isn't about money; it's about the reputation of our royal family..."
Old Mo interrupted her directly, saying, "Ten tons. To marry Princess Anne, I'm willing to offer ten tons of gold as a bride price. Okay."
Princess Anne's parents stared wide-eyed once again.
No, do you count your gold by the ton?
Beside her, Princess Anne was already moved to tears.
Although she was the space administrator, Lao Mo did not allow them access to the space warehouse, so she did not know how much money Lao Mo had.
Ten tons of gold were used as a bride price.
Princess Anne is probably the most expensive princess in history!
Her Majesty is truly moved.
How many pounds could she print from ten tons of gold?
Money really can't be printed arbitrarily. Without gold backing, printing money will cause inflation.
The reason the US dollar is so strong is because the US has promised that at any time, anyone who brings one US dollar can exchange it for one gram of gold from their bank.
Therefore, the amount of money that can be printed is limited by the amount of gold available. Printing money recklessly is only possible if you want your currency to collapse.
The Queen was moved; she was now tempted.
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Chen, the reputation of our royal family is very important. This puts us in a very difficult position... we..."
"Twenty tons."
Old Mo interrupted her again, saying, "Twenty tons of gold—shouldn't anyone in the court have any objections?"
Princess Anne's parents were once again speechless.
Old Mo's sincerity was truly overwhelming; they couldn't even get angry!
The Queen's voice trembled: "Mr. Chen, could you let me finish what I have to say? This really isn't about money. The main thing is that you're of Asian descent, you're married, and you have more than one wife. We are, after all, royalty..."
"One hundred tons. Also, I want the title of Prince of Hong Kong."
Old Mo interrupted her again, saying, "Your Majesty, one hundred tons, that's the most I can produce. I truly cannot provide any more. If you do not agree, then Princess Anne and I may truly be destined to be apart."
Old Mo clearly told her that this was already the highest price. If she didn't agree, a hundred tons of gold would be gone.
Some people might ask, why are these foreigners giving so much gold?
But Lao Mo didn't care. If they treated him well, he would leave it to them; if they didn't treat him well, he could take it back anytime.
So, since she's my mother-in-law, it's no big deal to make her happy.
Beside her, Princess Anne's father quickly nudged the Queen.
One hundred tons of gold! If you don't agree now, all one hundred tons of gold will really be gone!
At this moment, the Queen did not rush to agree, but instead squinted at Old Mo.
At that moment, she finally remembered something.
Yes, the Americans said they lost thousands of tons of gold, which she initially dismissed, thinking they were talking nonsense.
Now she was certain that Old Mi wasn't lying. They really had lost that much gold, and that gold was in the hands of this Eastern man.
If she knew that the gold lost by Xiao Rizi was also in Lao Mo's hands, I wonder what she would think?
