Chapter 84

Is it worthwhile to exchange a million rubles for a Wallachia? That must be a good deal, and even Arkady felt that even if it was twice as expensive, it would be a very good deal. If he was Count Vladimir, if he had a million rubles, he would certainly not hesitate to take out the money.

But the problem was that he was neither Count Vladimir nor a million rubles, so all he could do with this deal was drool.

"A million rubles?"

Count Vladimir glanced at Arkady unkindly. It could be seen that this man was very dissatisfied with the amount, and seemed to feel that he was being taken advantage of.

Arkady explained carefully: "Yes, Saradov offered a million rubles, and he..."

"Is he crazy or are you stupid!" Count Vladimir sprayed him on the face directly. The count's face was full of anger, and he bared his teeth and claws as if he was going to eat Arkady alive.

"I gave him a job and gave him a chance to serve a nobleman of my level. It's a great honor, but this bastard actually blackmailed me and asked me for money! It's unheard of!"

"Is this how you judge people? The talents you selected are all of this virtue. Viginsky, you serve me like this! It's ridiculous!"

Arkady curled his lips in his heart, completely disapproving of what Count Vladimir said, maybe it was reasonable to talk like that a thousand years ago, but now who cares what kind of noble you are, no one has money or influence. Will bird you! What age is it now, and you still expect to fool others with this old almanac, do you think they are a fool?

After losing his temper, Count Vladimir fell silent, probably because he also knew that losing his temper would not solve any problems, even if he scolded Arkady, he would do whatever he wanted.

He asked impatiently: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Arkady actually thought about it carefully before he came back. He knew very well what kind of character Count Vladimir was like, and he would definitely not be willing to take money. Naturally, he could only follow the fellow's intentions and say:

"I think so, we might as well agree to it first, and then we will take down Saladov in one fell swoop during the transaction. At that time..."

Count Vladimir interjected happily: "Naturally, you don't need to spend a penny at that time!"

Arkady sighed again inwardly, for he knew that this was the way it was, and if he dared to suggest money first, the count would certainly go into a rage,

It's just that what he said just now was out of necessity, because Saladov is not stupid, and he will not guard against your move.

So after saying what Count Vladimir liked to hear, Arkady began to say what he didn't like to hear: "However, with all due respect, it seems that this Saladov is not a good person, and this guy is not ordinary. He is so strong, it is impossible not to guard against us, once our actions angered him, what if he really handed over the evidence to the Governor's Palace?"

Count Vladimir was taken aback. Just now he was only thinking about how to "eat the black", and never thought that Saladov would take precautions. But after Arkady reminded him, he realized that the other party was not the same. What kind of little white rabbit, it is impossible to trade with them unsuspectingly.

As Arkady said, there is only one such opportunity. If he really angered the other party, wouldn't it be self-defeating? At that time, he would definitely not want to be the governor of Wallachia.

Suddenly Count Vladimir fell silent again, and the flame that had just been extinguished in his heart suddenly burned again. No matter how Arkady felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, he immediately lost his temper again!

Arkady, who was scolded bloody again, was very calm, probably because he has been scolded too many times these days, and he is used to it, and he has long been mentally prepared, knowing that Count Vladimir will be a what attitude.

In short, he was quite calm, and waited until Count Vladimir finished venting his anger before suggesting: "Your Excellency, I think we should make two-handed preparations. If Saladov does not take precautions against us, we will directly take back the evidence. Otherwise, if he has If we take precautions, we will pay for it, so we can be sure that nothing will go wrong!"

In fact, this is simply nonsense. You can tell the pros and cons and there is nothing foolproof, but this kind of preparation is tantamount to no preparation. After all, you still have to find the one million rubles!

Count Vladimir fell into deep thought again. He didn't guess Arkady's sinister intentions. He didn't understand that the other party's intention was to ask him to spend money to buy evidence. Instead, he was thinking carefully about the double insurance he talked about.

"It makes sense!"

What's even more ridiculous is that this idiot actually approved of this proposal in the end, thinking that Arkady's words made sense, only to hear him say: "The question is where did the million rubles come from?"

Well, this is indeed a real problem. If there were a million rubles, Count Vladimir would have paid off that bad debt long ago. How could he be humiliated by these creditors blocking the door every day.

"If it's in St. Petersburg, let alone one million rubles, I can afford two million! But I have nothing to do with this damn place!"

Count Vladimir was really going crazy. For the first time in his life, he had a headache because of a little "little money". For the first time, he discovered that money was really important sometimes.

It's just that he didn't struggle all the time, he kicked the ball to Arkady as a matter of course: "Hurry up and find a way to see if there is any way to get this million, hurry up!"

Arkady was really speechless. He had thought that the ball would be kicked back to him in the end, but he didn't expect Count Vladimir to kick the ball so simple, direct and confident - it seems that this is not his problem. ?

Of course, Arkady didn't dare to say this, so he could only humbly tell Count Vladimir that he was trying to find a way.

But this method is not so easy to come up with. This is one million rubles, which is enough to buy two state-of-the-art battleships. How can such a large sum of money be changed, and Arkady is not Opened a banknote printing factory.

"Trash! You bastard is useless at all. You can't solve such a trivial matter. What use are you for! You're nothing!"

Unexpectedly, Arkady was scolded again by Count Vladimir. Obviously, his master knows nothing but scolding, and even scolding lacks originality. It's really boring.

And just when Count Vladimir and Arkady were at a loss, things suddenly turned around...
