Expedition to Europe

There are benefits to becoming the Grand Master of the Knights Templar. When Qin Zhiyuan returned to the hotel where he was staying, he met the butler Gaspard Montemorency who had been waiting here for a long time in the hotel lobby.

Yes, he is really Qin Zhiyuan's butler.

What the Holy See gave him was something that Qin Zhiyuan didn't have to pay for his salary.

It is said that Pierre has become Qin Zhiyuan's knight, then Pierre will also have a salary from the Holy See.

Fortunately, the Holy See did not send a knight to Qin Zhiyuan. Otherwise, seeing how Pierre was following Qin Zhiyuan, I guess Pierre would desperately defend the qualifications of this "knight".

When facing Gaspard, Qin Zhiyuan was still at a loss.

In Qin Zhiyuan's concept, the creature "housekeeper" has always been associated with decadent capitalism or backward feudalism. Qin Zhiyuan was an eighth-generation poor farmer with a well-established family background. He really didn't expect that one day he would have a personal butler.

Things about his own family should be discussed behind closed doors, so Qin Zhiyuan left the hotel lobby with Gaspard and went back to his rented room first.

Qin Zhiyuan was going to the Vatican, but Misha did not go with him. At this moment, Misha was helping Qin Zhiyuan clean up in the room. When he saw Qin Zhiyuan and the others coming back, Misha made an excuse to avoid going out.

"Sit down, please introduce me. I am very curious about your identity as the butler. Uh, may I ask, does the butler mean that I need to hand over my property to your management?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

"Not entirely. If you have property that you need me to manage, that's what I should do." Gaspard did not sit down. He looked respectful and put one hand on his chest when he spoke: "Your Excellency, Grand Commander."

Gaspard was wearing a three-piece suit, neatly and meticulously dressed; his three-jointed leather shoes were polished, and the shoelaces were all tied in the same way, even hanging at the same angle; he wore a black bow tie, and his hair was tied Wearing hair wax, glasses on the breast pocket, pencil and notebook in hand, ready to record at any time.

This is a very strict person.

This was the first impression Gaspard left on Qin Zhiyuan.

"But now someone is helping me take care of my finances. It seems that the momentum is pretty good. Do you think one more person is necessary?" Qin Zhiyuan disagreed.

Currently, Qin Zhiyuan's personal property is being taken care of by Huang Fugui. Well, in other words, all the properties of the entire First Brigade are taken care of by Huang Fugui. Although Huang Fugui does not have many means of making money and cannot increase revenue, he does a good job in reducing expenditure. Qin Zhiyuan does not have any financial resources. concerns.

"Then I will be your second steward, Your Majesty the Grand Master." Gaspard was still so respectful, and his back was straight when he bowed slightly. It is the kind of person who, although my status is not as good as yours, we are completely equal in nature. That way of bowing is completely different from the way the Japanese bend themselves at ninety degrees.

"Second housekeeper...what do you mean?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

From what I hear, there might be a third butler...

"Your Excellency, as a standard housekeeper, if he cannot help your property grow at a rate of 20% per year, then such a housekeeper is unqualified, at least in terms of financial management. At this time, you It is necessary to change your butler. The second butler exists for this purpose." Gaspard was very polite and showed strong confidence in taking over the position of first butler.

"Twenty percent?" Before Qin Zhiyuan spoke, Pierre exclaimed: "Excuse me, can you help me manage my finances?"

Gaspard kept a polite smile and looked at Pierre quietly without answering.

The meaning is obvious. You, go and rest somewhere cool!

As soon as he entered the room, Pierre went straight to find a sofa to sit on. It was actually a single sofa, without any sense of being a knight. Now he interrupts Qin Zhiyuan casually...

Hmm, Qin Zhiyuan is considering whether to get another second knight!

"Well, can you increase your wealth at a rate of 20%?" Qin Zhiyuan was skeptical.

As a former agent and a single former agent, although Qin Zhiyuan is not a moonlighter, he does not have the habit of saving. He is even stranger to financial management and has no awareness of it at all. After coming to this world, although Qin Zhiyuan was nominally receiving a salary from the French Ministry of War, Qin Zhiyuan didn't know how much the salary was. Anyway, when he ran out of money, he asked Huang Fugui for it.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan now has a legitimate girlfriend, Pierre's sister Julie. Maybe after some time, Julie's status will rise from girlfriend to fiancée, but judging from Julie's appearance, she really isn't someone who knows how to manage money.

Well, saying she doesn’t know how to manage money is really too much of a compliment to Julie, she’s just a prodigal bitch!

Julie persuaded Qin Zhiyuan to spend more than 20,000 francs on the clothes he ordered, but he still hasn't received them yet. This makes Qin Zhiyuan often feel sad. If he had known this was the case, he should have chosen to pay in installments...

"Your Excellency, the Grand Master, as a qualified steward, growing your wealth at a rate of 20% is just the starting point. If Your Excellency, the Grand Master, trusts me, I can guarantee that your assets will grow at a rate of at least 30%." Growth." Gaspard is full of confidence and his confidence and determination can be felt.

"Okay, then I'll give you... um, try $5 million?" Qin Zhiyuan gave a hesitant figure.

Qin Zhiyuan calculated his assets and roughly divided them into four parts. The first batch of gems was worth about 6.5 million francs in total. Huang Fugui exchanged part of it, and now there is 2 million francs in cash; when Huang Bohan came to France, he paid Qin Zhiyuan 10 million US dollars in protection fees, and 1 million US dollars in offerings every month; the Holy See will give 1 million US dollars in military expenses every month. In fact, these two sums of money every month have a fixed place to go, which can be basically ignored; and the batch of gems is the common property of the Foreign Legion, and Qin Zhiyuan is not easy to invest.

Calculated in this way, Qin Zhiyuan's current personal property is about 10 million US dollars, which is about 40 million francs.

"Hiss..." There was a burst of uniform gasps.

Orbach knew that Qin Zhiyuan was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. Pierre knew that Qin Zhiyuan had so much money, but he didn't expect Qin Zhiyuan to be willing to take it out. As for Gaspard, he was a pure surprise. As a butler, meeting an employer who can give full trust is the greatest happiness.

"Try it first. If it can really increase by 30%... no, even if it is 20%, then you will be the first butler." Qin Zhiyuan promised.

Thinking that after one year, 5 million US dollars will become at least 6 million US dollars, Qin Zhiyuan feels that becoming the Grand Master of the Knights Templar is not a bad thing.
