"I have given Curator Chen two options."
General Lu said indifferently, "300,000 silver dollars, or you could use gold to offset the amount, one tael of gold is counted as thirty silver dollars."
The price of gold varies, and one tael of gold is mostly worth around twenty to thirty silver dollars.
But ten thousand taels of gold is a large sum.
What did General Lu need so much gold for?
The most critical question was, Curator Chen wasn't particularly wealthy among the guests, yet he was also asked to provide so much—what about the others?
"300,000 silver dollars?"
Curator Chen was stunned, he didn't have that much money, and even if he managed to scrape it together, it would nearly bankrupt him.
This was practically demanding half his life!
The other guests were also anxious, unable to help looking towards the real power broker of Yihai City, Elder Zhou.
"Hmph, 300,000 silver dollars..."
