Chapter 238 After the Old Friend (please vote for me!!!)
"."
In the dean's office.
Looking at the number 144071.34 on the paper in front of him, Xu Yun felt bad.
140,000 pounds!
If he remembered correctly.
In "Around the World in 80 Days" released in 1872, the protagonists spent only 20,000 pounds to travel around the world.
According to the spending methods that the protagonists have been making all the way, the purchasing power of these 20,000 pounds is basically the same as the purchasing power of millions of Chinese coins in later generations.
There is also a plot in Sherlock Holmes' "The Identity Case".
At that time, Holmes said something:
"I think a single lady can live quite well on an income of £60 a year."
The female client opposite said:
"Even if it's a lot less than 60 pounds, I can still live well."
Therefore, based on the above two books, it is estimated that one pound fluctuates around 1,000 RMB.
Of course.
What Xu Yun didn't know was.
In later generations, there was actually a website called measuringworth, where you can check the relative value conversion of British currencies from 1270 to the present. (Just find calculators/ukcompare after entering the website)
According to website data.
1860.
The value of 1 pound is approximately equivalent to 84.71 pounds in 2022, which is equivalent to about 716 yuan in today's Chinese currency.
Also worth mentioning.
The purchasing power of the pound was increasing between 1860 and 1900. By 1900, 1 pound was equivalent to about 840 yuan in today's Chinese currency.
Now this copy is affected by Mavericks' second transformation, and its industrial productivity is higher than that of the local version in 1850.
Therefore, if converted
About one pound
About 750 yuan?
144071.34X750 is
108 million!
Xu Yun:
"."
You went to Cambridge University with me and didn't even eat or sleep. How the hell do you owe me a small goal?
It’s fun!
Besides, who knows if that weird halo will create an Easter egg? When I return to reality, my debt will also be transferred, which will be great fun
Xu Yun dared to bet.
Building a table with a halo can give you the integrity of a Jiaran photo sticker, it is absolutely impossible to do that kind of operation!
So.
You absolutely cannot bear this debt!
Think of this.
Xu Yun couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
Different from later generations.
There was indeed an overdraft rule for custody fees in the 19th century, which meant that after the principal was deducted, negative amounts could continue to be deducted.
For example, the Bank of England, established in 1694, once sued the Fitzpatrick family for custody fees:
In 1713, Lamar Fitzpatrick, the Fitzpatrick patriarch, kept a chest of jewels at the Bank of England.
Later, Lamar Fitzpatrick was killed in the war with Spain, and the entire family fled to France. It was not until 1798 that a new Fitzpatrick patriarch succeeded him.
At that time, the Bank of England sued the new Fitzpatrick patriarch to the British court, and finally ordered the Fitzpatrick family to compensate the Fitzpatrick family for a total of 264 pounds after deducting the storage fees of the jewelry.
This incident was also recorded in the files of the British Supreme Court, ranking sixth in the 18th century files on its official website.
But under normal circumstances, the storage fee required to store property is not too high.
For example, the City Bank of New York, the predecessor of Citibank, which was established in 1812, in addition to the deposit fee for luxury goods, the custody fee for funds is only one thousandth per year.
However, Mavericks' daily storage fee of 80,000% was agreed to by 'Fat Fish' himself in the reply letter, so it could not be settled with regular storage fees.
Therefore, if no loopholes can be found in the regulations, there is only one angle left to refute.
creditor!
Then Xu Yun took a deep breath, put on a sincere expression, and said to William Whewell:
"Mr. Whewell, although this debt meets the legal requirements, you can pay back as much as you need."
"But what about the creditors?"
"Mr. Whewell, this is a debt dispute between my ancestors and Sir Isaac Newton. It seems that Cambridge University is not qualified to collect it on our behalf, right?"
When Xu Yun said these words, his lower abdomen was slightly tucked in, his anger settled in his dantian, and he tried to make his tone stronger.
On his way to Cambridge University, he briefly asked Maimai about Mavericks' emotional experience in this timeline.
Wheat told him at that time.
Although the Mavericks in this world are married, they have no heirs left.
However, in order to avoid misunderstandings about the specific details, Xu Yun did not inquire too deeply and only knew this general situation.
After all, his character is a descendant of Fat Fish, so it's impossible for him to not even know whether Maverick has any descendants.
But the inside story is the inside story. For Xu Yun now, it is enough to know that the calf has no offspring.
If the calf has no offspring, the bond relationship will naturally be invalidated.
As for the possibility of Mavericks donating its debt.
joke.
With his money-hungry personality, how could he possibly donate his debt?
Therefore, Xu Yun is very confident that this debt will never be carried on him!
However, what made him a little confused was.
Just when he thought William Whewell was going to have some other reason to engage in a round of oral, ahem, oral sex with him.
The dean of Trinity College unexpectedly showed a hint of approval on his face and affirmed:
"Yes, Trinity School and even Cambridge University are not creditors and cannot interfere with this debt, but."
The words were not finished.
Werner's voice suddenly came from outside the house:
"Mr. Whewell, I brought classmate Aveline here."
William Whewell was stunned when he saw this, gave Xu Yun a meaningful look, and said outside the room:
"Thank you for your hard work, classmate Weiner, please invite her in."
After a while.
The door of the room was pushed open and a girl walked in.
The girl is about 1.6 meters tall and has thick long golden hair that is slightly curly.
The blue eyes are like translucent sapphires, the skin is as white as jade, and the whole body is filled with the innocence and youthful charm of a girl.
At this time, she was holding a copy of "Classical Mechanics" in her hand. After seeing William Whewell, she bowed slightly and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Whewell."
William Whewell nodded towards her, motioned for her to come to his side, and introduced Xu Yun and others:
"This is Aveline, a classmate from Peter College. She is currently a first-year postgraduate student and is also the Minister of Student Affairs at Cambridge University."
"She arranged your dormitory affairs this time."
Then William Whewell whispered a few words to classmate Aveline:
"Student Aveline, this is almost the situation. Let's arrange Maxwell and Luo Feng into the same dormitory later."
Aveline's eyes were lowered, and her expression did not show much emotion:
"No problem. There is still a studio available in the graduate student dormitory behind the chapel. I will arrange them there?"
There are two main categories of dormitories at Cambridge University, one is Catered and the other is Self-catered.
Among them, Catered is a single room that provides breakfast and dinner. It is also the first choice for the rich second generation.
Self-catered is divided into three levels:
Studio with its own bathroom and kitchen.
En-suite with its own bathroom and shared kitchen.
There are also standard shared bathrooms and shared kitchens.
Staff are responsible for cleaning, taking out the trash, and changing sheets and quilts.
Useless knowledge has been added.JPG.
Aveline provided the highest-standard Studio dormitory, and Xu Yun was able to enjoy the benefits of following Wheat.
But at the same time, Xu Yun also had doubts in his heart:
Why does Aveline, a first-year graduate student, have so much power?
Even if Cambridge University supports student self-government, Aveline's qualifications should be insufficient.
This is much more power than Thomson.
Could it be
Is this a royal descendant?
Just as Xu Yun was thinking, William Whewell spoke again:
"Classmate Luo Feng, didn't you just say that you need to find a bondholder for your debt?"
Xu Yun was slightly startled and said subconsciously:
"That's right."
When William Whewell heard this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, he pointed at Aveline and said:
"Now there is."
Xu Yun: ".?"
William Whewell ignored him and whispered to Aveline.
soon.
A hint of surprise gradually appeared on Evelin's somewhat cold face, and she glanced at Xu Yun from time to time.
After a while.
William Whewell coughed lightly and said to Xu Yun:
"Classmate Luo Feng, let me formally introduce you again."
"The full name of this classmate Aveline is Aveline Aisku, and he is also the only descendant who has a blood relationship with Sir Newton."
"Aveline Escue?"
Hearing this name, Xu Yun suddenly stood on the spot.
Then, the appearance of Mr. William's family appeared subconsciously in his mind.
Escu.
How long has it been since you heard this last name?
There are at least two hundred chapters, right?
Didn't he expect that in this world, he would meet them unexpectedly?
On the way to Cambridge, Xu Yun actually thought about the people who might interact with him in this era.
Stokes, Darwin and even the couple in London are included.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has even imagined the scene of chatting and laughing with Queen Victoria.
But the only thing he didn’t expect
He would actually meet the descendants of the Escu family.
However, William Whewell didn't know Xu Yun's emotions at this time. Seeing that Xu Yun seemed to be in a trance, he added:
"The ancestor of classmate Aveline is Sir Newton's uncle William Askew. He became a wealthy farmer after making his fortune from ketchup, and the family's somewhat poor life was improved."
"However, a lot of things can change in more than a hundred years. Escu encountered an accident at the end of the last century, and many members of the tribe suffered casualties."
"In recent years, the population has been declining, so there are only a few remaining clan members."
"This branch of Aveline's classmate is considered a sideline of the Aisku family, and is the offspring of Lilani Aisku, the youngest daughter of William Aisku."
Before William Whewell finished speaking, Xu Yun stood up suddenly and asked him:
"Mr. Whewell, what did you say?"
William Whewell was stunned by Xu Yun's movements for a few seconds, but he soon regained his composure:
"I said that the ancestor of classmate Aveline is William Askew, and he was relying on tomatoes"
"I'm asking about the last sentence!"
"The last sentence?"
William Whewell's expression became more and more confused, and he raised his eyelids and glanced at him:
"You mean Leilani Escu?"
Xu Yun nodded heavily.
William Whewell scratched his hair gently and was about to speak when Aveline on the side spoke first:
"The ancestors of Leilani received a good education after William Escu made his fortune. After graduating from college, he married a classmate."
"However, their descendants retained the surname Aisku, and the ancestor Lilani died at the age of 78."
As Aveline said something, she seemed to think of something again, and her tone paused slightly:
"However, according to family records, ancestor Lilani was in a depressed state for a long time, but she became much cheerful after Sir Newton received a reply from Mr. Fat Fish - it is said that before that, she was already saving money to prepare for a long trip. .”
"It seems to have some relationship with Mr. Fat Fish."
Xu Yun was silent for a long time after hearing this.
a while.
He relaxed and felt relieved. (End of chapter)
