Dragon's Origin

Dare Crown Prince Changshan say he only wanted to buy 90% of Qianshengyuan's shares with a cup of tea's price? He wouldn't dare even if you beat him to death. That wasn't buying; it was clearly robbing!

"This young master beside the Crown Prince said he planned to buy 90% of Qianshengyuan's shares with ten gold coins." Mei'er had no obligation to keep secrets for the Crown Prince and those two guys. Besides, they said it arrogantly in public, and anyone could find out by asking. There was no need to hide it.

"Ten gold coins, such a huge sum!" Chief Steward Li immediately laughed and even exclaimed. When his gaze swept over Guang Yuan, who had been clamoring earlier, Guang Yuan felt a chill running from the top of his head straight to his heels.

Don't underestimate Chief Steward Li and the two young eunuchs in front of him. Guang Yuan, who usually considers himself a cultivation expert, didn't have the courage to even stand up and run away in front of Chief Steward Li, let alone fight.

"I remember, the owner here is said to have some good tea. How much does a cup sell for?" Chief Steward Li's sharp voice sounded incredibly terrifying to the Crown Prince and his companions.

"Exactly ten gold coins!" Mei'er replied with a smile.

"Using the price of a cup of tea to buy 90% of someone's shares." Chief Steward Li nodded in praise, "Good, this is a really good deal! No wonder the Crown Prince has been making money lately. How about I buy 90% of the Royal Palace's shares with ten gold coins, Crown Prince? What do you think?"

What could the Crown Prince say? What else could he say?

"Perhaps the Crown Prince didn't mean that; maybe someone is ruining the Royal Palace's reputation under the Crown Prince's name." Mei'er rolled her eyes and suddenly said, cooperating with Chief Steward Li.

"Is that so?" Chief Steward Li understood the hint and immediately turned to the Crown Prince, asking with a shrill laugh.

"Yes! Yes!" Hearing that Mei'er and Chief Steward Li meant to excuse him, the Crown Prince didn't remember that his followers were there to help him. He nodded hastily, clearing himself first. As for Guang Yuan, he and his family could only pray for good fortune!

"So, the Crown Prince is planning to invest real money into Qianshengyuan?" Seeing the Crown Prince admit it, Chief Steward Li immediately asked with a smile.

"Yes! Yes!" Crown Prince Changshan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, nodding frantically and replying, "I was just thinking of investing real money."

"Then, at what price?" Chief Steward Li asked again.

"Market price! Market price!" The Crown Prince finally recovered and knew to speak up, answering quickly.

"Market price!" Chief Steward Li nodded satisfactorily, "Negotiating at market price, now that's truly business. Ninety percent of the shares, the Crown Prince has a good eye, knowing that he can make a lot of money after taking these shares. I didn't realize the Crown Prince had such foresight!"

The Crown Prince could only smile apologetically, not daring to say anything more, afraid of saying something wrong and being caught out.

"As far as I know, a friend of the Emperor has also invested in Qianshengyuan." Chief Steward Li's words made the Crown Prince realize why he had kicked an iron plate. It turned out that the Emperor's friend was also a shareholder, no wonder. This brand, this stance, should all be because of the Emperor's friend.

"The investment wasn't that long ago, just recently." Chief Steward Li said quickly, as if he had just remembered, "However, His Majesty's friend took out 10 million gold coins in real money to buy 10% of the shares. The Crown Prince is talking about 90%, truly generous!"

From the moment he heard Chief Steward Li say that the Emperor's friend had shares in it, Crown Prince Changshan knew that he would probably have to kowtow and apologize if necessary. Who would have thought that such a small shop would require 10 million gold coins to buy 10% of the shares?

"Ninety percent of the shares is ninety million gold coins." Chief Steward Li looked at the Crown Prince as if he were looking at a god of wealth, his face full of amazement, "Changshan Prince is truly generous, able to take out ninety million gold coins. When I return to the palace and report to the Emperor, I believe he will be quite surprised."

If the Changshan Royal Palace had ninety million gold coins, would Crown Prince Changshan need to resort to trickery and robbery to steal business? Isn't that a joke?

But Crown Prince Changshan couldn't laugh at all when he heard these words. When Mei'er mentioned a word to excuse the Crown Prince, he thought she was really helping him, but he didn't expect her to be waiting for him here.

A mere second-rank honorary prince, living in the capital, how could he be richer than the imperial palace? How could he be richer than the national treasury? This in itself is a great crime.

It's over! Crown Prince Changshan really fainted this time. He had to faint! Whether it was trickery and robbery or a genuine investment, it was a huge pit. It was a mistake for him to come here today. He didn't understand Qianshengyuan's background at all. He thought Wang Sheng was failing, so he pounced on it greedily to take advantage. It served his family right for being unlucky.

Of course, it wasn't just the Changshan Royal Palace that was unlucky. Guang Yuan and his family, as well as the noble young master who hadn't said much but later forced Mei'er to enter the Royal Palace as a maid, and his family, none of them could escape.

"Qianshengyuan still doesn't seem to have enough ordinary goods. I wonder if confiscating three more families will be enough." Chief Steward Li and Mei'er entered Qianshengyuan together. Everyone only heard Chief Steward Li leave these words behind, and they were all stunned in place.

Chief Steward Li didn't even detain them, just left them outside. He had absolute confidence that these guys couldn't run away. In the capital, if Chief Steward Li knew about something and still let people run away, then whoever guarded the city gate and let them go would have to answer for it.

The Crown Prince, with the help of Guang Yuan and the noble young master, finally woke up. The first thing he said after waking up was, "Hurry back to the Royal Palace and beg for mercy!" He had caused such a big mess that he definitely couldn't handle it himself. He could only let Changshan Prince come forward and apologize to the Emperor.

Guang Yuan and that noble young master weren't stupid, they quickly helped the Crown Prince run back to the Royal Palace. If Changshan Prince begged for mercy quickly and sincerely enough, maybe they could avoid death. Otherwise, the Seventh Prince and those four important officials were examples! The Emperor would kill even his own son without hesitation. Changshan Prince was just a second-rank honorary prince, even less important. Didn't you hear Chief Steward Li say? If there weren't enough goods, confiscating three families might be enough.

Not long after Chief Steward Li entered Qianshengyuan, congratulatory gifts from various merchants arrived one after another. Everyone had happy faces, congratulating them as if they were celebrating Qianshengyuan's opening from the bottom of their hearts, with unparalleled enthusiasm.

Amidst a pile of workers carrying, moving, and lifting congratulatory gifts, several large carts, driven by people in eunuch attire, arrived at the entrance of Qianshengyuan. Experienced people only needed to hear the sound of the cartwheels to know that the things inside were definitely not light.
