Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The organizers of this banquet had invited more than sixty reporters from famous European newspapers, such as Thames News, London Times, hamburger Business Newspaper, Germany Daily … There were a total of 60 red packets and 60 commemorative gold coins.

The weight of the gold coin was about the same size as a Mexican eagle, but its value was more than ten times that of Ying Yang. This kind of gold coin was worth at least ten pounds on the London market, and this was only the value of gold.

As this was a set of gold coins made by the Chinese as a souvenir, it was definitely valuable. If it was given to a collector, someone would take it even if the price became thirty pounds.

The monthly salary of these reporters was only around ten pounds. The money of this era was still very valuable, it was fixed in gold and silver, and did not have any concept of inflation in the future. A monthly salary of more than ten pounds was enough for him to rent a house and live in London.

Calculating it this way, the gift Xiao Letian gave them was a full three months' salary!

All the reporters looked at each other. They held the gold coins in their hands as their faces revealed awkward expressions. "I'm really sorry, we can't accept such a gift, it's too expensive …"

Without waiting for the reporters to reject him completely, Jin Sanshun's chubby face was already covered in smiles.

"No …" My dear friends, do not misunderstand our good intentions. What are you worrying about? I am well aware of the reputation of embezzlement. "

"Wrong, you are absolutely wrong. This kind of gold coin is only worth around 10 pounds. This kind of small money is completely within the category of normal gifts. Are we not worth the money by giving you a set of porcelain, silk products, tea leaves and other gifts?"

"Do not underestimate our Chinese financial resources, and do not disappoint our leader's good intentions. This is a very rude behavior!"

"What's more, this gift is actually just a little subsidy to all of you. Do you need a high temperature allowance in such a hot weather?" Do you have to pay for a carriage? "We can't let you pay us back with your own pockets after all. That doesn't make any sense. So we can consider it our compensation to give you a little gift …"

Jin Sanshun was very good at doing this kind of things, with just a few words, he was able to move these decent reporters.

Actually, this kind of allowance was an open secret in the industry in the 21st century. At that time, when reporters were conducting business interviews, the organizers would prepare some gifts or even give them a cash subsidy.

The reporter was not just for show, he was also a person with a propensity for writing. Since it was a commercial news, there must be some hype about it. Everyone in the industry was very clear on the logic of how flowery palanquins were being carried.

Xiao Letian had merely brought the public secrets of the twenty-first century forward to the nineteenth century. However, the market price for a gold coin was over ten pounds, which was the price for a set of relatively high-end Chinese porcelain.

If someone tried to use this small amount of money to find fault with these reporters, they would have an excuse. After all, if they took in a set of porcelain, two jars of black tea was not a bribe.

Taking advantage of such a small opening, no one would be able to figure out the reason for it. But at the same time, this gift was definitely able to arouse the greed of humans.

First of all, this is gold, gold! Gold! The important thing is to say it three times. The love of man for gold is already imprinted in his soul. It is completely different when you give him gold and bread of equal value.

The golden light could directly arouse the desire of humans!

Look at the hands they were holding. Although they said no, their eyes had already betrayed them.

Not only was the gold heart enchanting, this kind of commemorative gold coin also meant the value of the collection. After all, things were rare and valuable, and on the surface, it was only a month's salary.

This was the highest level of gifts. Before you gave them, you had already thought of all the excuses you had to reject them, forcing them to accept them. Furthermore, they also helped you resolve the doubts of others, making it impossible for those red-eyed patients to find an excuse even if they wanted to complain.

Jin Sanshun tried to persuade them and added with the threat, they said that if they did not accept it, they would not give face to the leader. Not giving face to the leader was not giving face to the Chinese, not giving face to the Chinese would not give face to the whole world.

Since you're not giving me face, how are we going to cooperate in the future? If the newspaper didn't accept it, they would lose all chance of interviewing the Asian news.

Everyone nodded as they thought to themselves, "I didn't accept this gift because of greed, I am being impartial and selfless!" "I was thinking about the future development of the newspaper, and only accepted the gold coin after being forced to. Baby is suffering!"

"If I don't accept this gold coin, what if the newspapers don't get the latest news about the Chinese people? When the time comes, the Head of the Guards and the Emperor of Tongzhi will reject our newspaper's interview, what will happen? "

"Ai …" "For the sake of the newspaper's future, I'll risk my reputation and take some losses!"

The group of reporters had a weird expression on their faces as they stuffed the gold coins into the inside pocket of their suits. Then, they ruthlessly stuffed the coins into the inside pocket of their suits and buttoned them up before patting them on the outside.

"Mm …" Thank you for your kind intentions, Leader. We'll take these gold coins and hand them over to the newspapers as souvenirs! "Hahaha …"

After Jin Sanshun sent these people back to the hall, he smiled, but there was a look of despise in his eyes: "Sh * t, what is this thing? It turns out you also eat bribes, you want to establish a memorial archway?"

"However, this is good as well. As long as you have greed in your heart, we will satisfy you. As long as you are willing to support us, your money will not be spent in vain …"

At the moment, the hall was already crowded with people, three quarters of the distinguished guests had already arrived, and the time was also 7: 45. According to the schedule, the Queen should be arriving in five more minutes, and at the moment, Xiao Letian was standing at the entrance, chatting with Jonas and the other familiar guests.

Jin Sanshun and Xiao Letian looked at each other, and the fat officer immediately nodded his head, and Xiao Letian's expression immediately became much more relaxed, as long as he could pry open the mouths of these reporters, and eat his fill, then take his own hand for the shortest amount of time, the rest would be easy to deal with.

Right at this moment, the royal Attendant standing outside the gates suddenly shouted in a melodious voice, "The Queen's carriage has arrived … "Music!"

The court trumpeters lined up on both sides of the street, blowing the cheerful horn of welcome. The imperial guards on the street drew their swords and saluted, and even the policemen who were maintaining order in the distance stood at attention and saluted in the direction of the queen's carriage.

Under the escort of the cavalry, the dazzling Gold Carriage entered the Eastern Palace under the cheerful sound of a small horn!
