Before returning to school, Old Ziano pulled Contini and whispered: "Although the leader gave him a little less money, he does have difficulties now. He is asking for money in all aspects. Don't be discouraged, I can support you 150,000 lira!"

"150,000?" Contini asked in confusion.

Old Ziano thought he was too little, so he coughed awkwardly, and then said, "It's my personal money, this is the only money I can allocate, other industries..."

In fact, the 150,000 lira almost completely out of all the mobile family assets of Ziano. Although he was a nobleman and had a lot of family industries, he could only barely maintain this environment. Moreover, the industry and other things cannot be sold. There is very little real working capital at hand. The 150,000 yuan that can be paid out is a standout among Mussolini's confidant generals. It is unknown whether the other four generals can take out so much money without embezzling public funds. Some people later said that Italy was corrupt, but in fact these people were afraid of poverty...

However, Contini was very happy, which showed that old Ziano was very supportive, which gave him a deeper understanding of this cheap father: "Father, I need this 150,000, but I will not use him in newspapers. I have other uses. As for newspapers, there will be other ways to make money..."

Old Ziano didn't want to ask what his son wanted to use this money. Now, at least the title of the president of the league is on it. There must be a lot of places to use the money. This money is not so much for newspapers, but for the Youth League. He thought it very clearly, and used the money first to stabilize the team and overcome difficulties. After 2-3 months, Mussolini controlled the situation and then asked for money, it would be much easier.

I thought so, but I still explained Contini earnestly: "No matter what, the newspaper must be done well. At least you have to let the leader see it...at least, hold on for 2 months."

What he said was very obscure, but Contini immediately understood. Old Ziano was reminding him that even if the newspaper was published and the number of prints was only a few hundred or even dozens, he had to maintain the shelf and let Mussolini see "achievements!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

"If you have any trouble, come to me. I'll find a way for you. As for the special commissioner, I'll say hello." Old Ziano took out his briefcase and wrote the check solemnly, "This is all my current belongings, so I can save some money!"

"Thank you, then I'll leave first, take care of yourself."

Looking at the back of his son leaving, Old Ziano nodded repeatedly. His son has finally grown up. No matter whether the newspaper can be completed or not, this passion and fighting spirit are still very gratifying - this is what my heir to the Ziano family looks like!

"Calais, have you got the money?" In the evening, 17 directors of the Alliance gathered together, and the location was still in the cafe they often visited.

"I got it, the leader gave him 50,000, and my father personally supported 150,000, and now I have 200,000."

"The startup funding is enough. How much is it to be funded every month in the future?" someone asked bluntly.

"From the future?" Contini shook his head, "this is all our possessions. At least the leaders will not allocate funds until the political situation is stable... I guess it will last at least 3-6 months."

As he said this, everyone immediately became frowning. It was obvious that 200,000 yuan said it was not too much or too little. It was obviously difficult to maintain a newspaper seriously. Although some students could help voluntarily, renting a house costs money, printing costs money, paper costs money, and hiring people to distribute it. Although everyone has never run a newspaper, they still know a little about the general market - this money is definitely not enough.

"Leo, how much is the league fee charged now?"

Originally, the Youth Italian League did not charge membership fees, but because Contini made a big appearance at the welcoming ceremony and Mussolini was about to form a cabinet, more and more people participated. Therefore, the board of directors decided to charge a membership fee of 5 lira per person per year after discussion. According to the standard of 20,000 people, it is estimated that at least 100,000 lira can be received. The alliance will only send two things to members - one is the alliance badge and the other is the alliance armband. The total cost is expected to be only 1 lira, and about 4 lira can be made net. 5 lira is almost the same as the price of a lunch meal in the cafeteria. It is still affordable to be able to afford students from secondary and higher education institutions.

As a student in the accounting department of the University of Rome, Leo is very careful in his daily work and is responsible for the management of the alliance's accounts and funding. He took out his account books and said calmly, "The membership fee of 34,575 lira has been collected. In addition, the customized badges and armbands have been paid in advance by 6,000 lira. Currently, the remaining membership fee is 28,575 lira... The remaining membership fee is expected to be collected in one week to 10 days."

"Very good. In addition to sending members' badges and armbands to all of this membership fees, we are all used as office funds, and the newspaper fees are also paid here. In addition..." Contini thought about it, "We will work hard during the creation of newspapers, but the funds are limited. I suggest that the members of the alliance do not receive the royalties for the time being. The alliance directors receive a subsidy of 500 lira per month, as for transportation, midnight snacks and other expenses. As for the expenses that everyone has incurred during the creation of the alliance, I will not return them. If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a little."

No one has any objection to this proposal. Although the other party was created, at least the coffee money, meals, and flyers, big-character posters and other printings for the party were paid for. The directors here paid more or less. Contini paid the most, about 3,000 lira, and the fewest people also paid 700 lira. However, since there is a monthly allowance of 500 lira here, there is nothing to complain about. Everyone is very enthusiastic now and thinks that being petty can't do big things, so it's vulgar if you talk about money.

However, Contini doesn't think so. It is okay to organize a temporary event with enthusiasm and dedication. If you rely on enthusiasm for two years, you will not be able to maintain it. Give a subsidy to effectively stabilize the morale of the army - this is his most core and most well-knowing team.

"I plan to do some speculation for the remaining 200,000 lira..." Contini turned his head and asked another director, Oliver, a third-year student in the Department of Finance. "I remember you said that government bonds and exchange rates have fallen a lot recently?"

"Yes, because of the turbulent situation, the exchange rate of the pound against the US dollar has dropped by at least 20% over the past month, and government bonds have dropped by nearly 30%!"

"Although Italy's economy is not very good, I am optimistic that the leader will successfully control the situation, and whether it is the exchange rate or the government bond price, it will definitely rebound!"

"I think so too, but it's hard to grasp the time. Now the public is skeptical about whether the leader can successfully form a cabinet. Several old political parties are said to join forces to snipe the leader in parliament..."

"I just met my father, and he and I revealed some news. The list of leaders' cabinet formation has been basically ready, and it will include several major parties. The resistance will be reduced a lot. It is basically safe to get through."

Oliver's eyes lit up: "If this happens, the decline caused by political factors will rebound soon! I dare not say that all lost ground can recover at least 10-15%.

"So I plan to throw all 200,000 liras into it! How many times can I put it up?"

"If you are a senior account, you can get 25 times. We are a new account, which is estimated to be up to 20 times."

"Then be more conservative and put it 15 times."

Oliver sweated heavily: "Calais, this is very dangerous. A 15-fold leverage means that as long as the market falls by 6-7%, you will lose all your money! Even if you are optimistic, you will put 2-3 times the most."

"2-3 times is too little." Contini shook his head, "You must have confidence in me and the leader, and don't be afraid of losing the 200,000 yuan. I can get the first one, and I will definitely get the second one."

Although everyone opposed Contini's bold pressure, considering that the money was all brought by Contini, everyone would not persuade him to insist that he would not persuade him - the young master's family had money, and it was really no problem to have a mere 200,000 lira. Oliver accepted the mission of speculation, but decided to invest in batches so that he could suppress it even if there were risks.

The central topic discussed this evening was mainly money and newspapers. At the end of the discussion, someone suddenly reminded him: "No, 200,000 yuan is not used to speculate. There is little left after deducting rent and other office expenses for more than 20,000 yuan. What should I do if the printing fee and paper fee for the previous few issues of newspapers?"

"Yes..." Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes to Contini.

"Don't worry, I've already figured out a solution." Contini smiled slightly, "Go and invite Poji here. He, the vice chairman, is going to work..."
