Chapter 618: Money or No Money Doesn’t Matter
Edgar Reyes, who had been serving as Old Jack's personal military attache, looked like a bitch.
No one expected that this warrior would eventually become the second Lionheart Ambassador.
Especially Prince Charlie, he felt like he was dancing like a monkey for a long time, and his whole body was numb.
At the same time, my somewhat wandering mentality has been severely hit recently.
It really opened his eyes that the Lion-Hearted Queen, who was thousands of miles away, was so clever.
Facts have proved that I am still a bit young.
Prince Charlie immediately handed over the power and watched the newly appointed Edgar skillfully allocate the new people, as if he was going to do something big.
Originally, he thought that since the new ambassador was unfamiliar with the situation, he might be able to hold some power.
Now that the new ambassador is Edgar, an old man who is familiar with the situation, obviously don't think about it.
Finally, with the hypocritical smile of the new ambassador Edgar, Prince Charlie left in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
After suffering a secret loss, Prince Charlie was in an extremely bad mood. Even if he kept trying to forgive himself, he could not change the reality that he had been fooled.
So he found his new partner and planned to have a drink together.
Compared to the embarrassed Prince Charlie, Sir Sanger's face was red and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Don't blame him for being happy. He took advantage of this guy Benjamin. Unexpectedly, he actually caught a cash cow.
It should be said that the group of college students back then were really powerful. Now, if one person lends a helping hand, it is enough for Benjamin to take off.
Although I don’t make much money now, I can look forward to the future.
After all, in Hener's eyes, survival is not just about having a full stomach.
The life of the poor is different from the life of the upper class.
Therefore, Sanger is even considering whether to increase investment and do something in Benjamin's name.
Under this premise, Sanger was of course glowing.
The two talked to each other a few words, drank a few sips of wine, and intentionally became close.
Sanger has been very successful recently, so he has no complaints.
But he had an idea for Prince Charlie: "No matter how powerful the royal family is, it is still too far to reach Daxia. If you want to do something, there are many opportunities."
He couldn't bear to judge his mother in front of the prince, so he chose the royal family instead, but Prince Charlie knew it well.
"What's the meaning?"
“Money and power, aren’t these the two things you want?
That Lion-Hearted Ambassador, no matter how familiar he is with the situation in Daxia, he can't compare to our relationship. If you cause them some trouble, then you interfere in the affairs of the embassy and force them to give up some of their power. "
Sanger's ideas were definitely not above board, but the struggle does not need to be above board.
If you have power, you will naturally be able to control part of the Lion Heart Kingdom's money in Daxia.
Prince Charlie suddenly realized that he was bound by inherent ideas. The majesty of the royal family made him subconsciously avoid direct provocation.
In fact, he is no different from becoming a self-proclaimed king now. He is already de facto independent.
In that case, what are you afraid of?
Forced uterus means that if you are timid, you will not achieve great things.
Without Sanger's advice, Prince Charlie could come up with dozens of ways to embarrass the Lionheart Embassy.
He is well-educated in this area, and his theory is much better than that of Sanger.
So after drinking, the next day he found some connections he had made in Daxia.
Earl Jefferys Jr. is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and the people he knows most are the noble officials of the Ministry of Justice.
The identity of a prince and the guest of his own minister still carries some weight.
Prince Charlie invited officials from the Department of Justice. The Firearms Administration is dual-led by the Department of Justice and the Department of Public Security, and the relationship between the two is relatively close.
After a meal of wine, the other party patted his chest and agreed to Prince Charlie's request.
As soon as you hear this kind of thing, you will know that it is an internal fight in the Lionheart Kingdom and has little to do with them, but who makes Prince Charlie more embarrassed?
The next day, a director of the Ministry of Justice invited the director of the Firearms Administration.
Director David attended the banquet in a dignified manner. The intermediary said a few words of honor, then he immersed himself in a meal, drank a few glasses of wine, and quickly went upstairs to rest.
Prince Charlie and Director David were left talking privately.
Prince Charlie waved the waiter off and took out a box.
When you hire someone to do something, you certainly can’t do it empty-handed.
Every year the embassy publicizes the Firearms Management Bureau, otherwise you will not be able to apply for a gun license.
Prince Charlie knew that his request would cost the Bureau of Firearms some gray revenue.
Although you can use your face to get the other person to do something, it consumes too much affection. How can you speak up next time if something happens?
Prepare gifts, and everyone has mutual interests, and next time you can skip the middleman and contact each other privately.
The Firearms Administration has made up for the shortfall, so naturally there will be no ill feelings.
"Director David, I would like to ask you to seriously review this when we meet for the first time. I have specially prepared some small gifts."
Upon hearing this, Director David glanced at the exquisite gift box, but declined: "Prince Charlie, do you still have to spend money on such a small thing? Please take it back!"
"I know you're giving me some face for the count's sake, but I really want to make you a friend. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to come to your door next time." Prince Charlie made an excuse and saw the other party's intention. He moved and struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, they are all small gifts. How much are dishes, chopsticks, etc. worth?"
Director David was persuaded by him and stopped giving in.
He looked embarrassed and assured again: "Prince Charlie, you are too polite. I will buy you a drink next time."
Neither of them mentioned the embassy, but they understood each other.
After the drinking party, Director David got in the car. When he got a little further away, he opened the gift box in the car.
The gift is not important, but your attitude is important.
If he really gave some worthless things, he would do it this time, but the next time they drink together will always be the next time.
But when he opened the box, the bowls, plates and chopsticks were indeed bowls, plates and chopsticks, but it was the first time he saw the bowls, plates and chopsticks shining with gold.
Prince Charlie was very generous, anyway, he spent the money of the Lionheart Kingdom.
He has now completely let it go. The money of the Lionheart Kingdom is not his own, so he should spend it and use it as he should, and there is no need to save it.
Director David was shocked by this set of bowls, plates and chopsticks. He reached out and touched it for a long time, and remembered it firmly.
Of course, he was not blinded by money. He simply felt that Prince Charlie was a real person and worth making friends with. Money didn't matter.
