"Your Majesty, how much you spend on it is your business. Our Cao Family Firm is just doing business. To be honest, we don't want to buy so much land. The land has been sold at the same price for many days.

The other transactions in our Cao Family Firm are the ones that bring in money faster. Our young master asked me to discuss this transaction with you based on the principle of one more friend and one more road. If you are not satisfied with our price, I think

This thing may not be done. How about resigning first? Can you think about it before calling me?" Gu Xin said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. I don't have that much time to talk nonsense with you here. Let's

Anyway, I've found out clearly. If you don't sell the land, you can just keep it yourself. Just a loan from a bank or something like that can kill you. Of course, if you are rich, you don't have to care.

"You bastard, who are you? You dare to talk to me like this? Are you just a small steward of a trading company? Come on, get it for me." Prince Hagen was really angry at this moment. If this spreads out, he will

Why do you still have the face to hang around in the capital? Damn it, no matter how you say it, you are a prince. No matter how powerful your Cao family business is, it is still a businessman. You kid is not a businessman yet. You are a businessman's bastard.

That's all, you dare to talk to me like this. If I don't destroy you today, you really don't know how high the sky is.

The palace guards outside the door all came in with swords on their backs. They were all very impressive. These guys usually just scare the common people. According to the regulations of the empire, these palace guards are all members of the imperial court.

The salary is 300,000 silver for each person every year. We must hire some warriors, even first-class warriors. But this price was in the early years of the empire. This price is impossible these years.

Most of them are paid by the major princes themselves. If it is less, they may be able to subsidize it, but there are three hundred such sixth-grade guards in the entire prince's palace. If one person subsidizes three

If it's one hundred thousand taels of silver, that's 90 million taels of silver. It's impossible for them to do such a thing. If they make a mistake, just find some stronger ordinary people. They can handle the matter with just a few hundred taels of silver every year.

Well, besides, most people will run away when they see the name of their prince, and will not come to trouble. This is what they have always done, and they have also done very well. These ordinary people

A few hundred taels of silver a year is a lot of joy. The Hagen Palace can reasonably take the tens of millions of silver given by the court into its own hands every year. This is not a small amount of income.

Boom! A very powerful air flow came in from outside the house. The guards were all ordinary people. To put it bluntly, they were just scumbags. The two fifth-level warriors outside could already get these guys out. In fact, Prince Hagen's Mansion

There are still several seventh-level warriors inside. But unfortunately, none of them are in the palace now. The most powerful thing is a third-level display. Although the guy is also here at the moment, he sees the two fifth-level warriors at the door.

They didn't dare to say a word. The prince and the others naturally didn't dare to move. The most they would do was make the prince lose face. But what kind of thing was he? He also knew the capabilities of the Cao Family Trading Company. The worst he could do in the future.

You don’t have to do it here. You can save your life anyway. Other book friends are reading: If you force yourself to go up there, you will be dead.

"Haha, don't worry, Your Majesty, they won't do anything. I came to the palace to discuss business. Not to show off or anything. Your Majesty, there is no need to appreciate the words of a little person like me. There are not that many things.

, Xiao Ke will leave now, I won’t bother the prince anymore." Gu Xin got up and flicked his pants. He stood up and walked and said, he didn’t forget to salute the prince when he arrived at the door. This courtesy must not be wasted.

of.

These few words will make Prince Hagen so angry that he will vomit blood, but there is no other way, right? What can he do to him now? This kid is not afraid of anything at all. Look at this guy's appearance

You know that this kid is confident. Even if you want to force yourself, you have to see if your subordinates have the ability. Look at the bunch of people you have. You really shouldn't have given those to the court in the first place.

I lost a pen of money to Tan Mo. This is really a shame for me. A prince of my own was laughed at by a small steward. But this is the way society is. Although the status of a businessman is not very high, but

For some businessmen with a good background, everything can be done. What happened to the prince? You are just a prince of little use. No one will take you seriously.

Prince Hagen immediately smashed some things in the house. Anyway, there was nothing valuable. Some valuable things had been taken away by the people of the bank. The people of the bank had also taken it away at this time.

I am very depressed. The biggest asset of the palace is the trading firm in the city, but this trading firm and the Hagen Palace only have a name. The other nobles are its real masters. Those who don’t know are really

I thought that Prince Hagen's palace was so powerful, but anyone who knew the inside story would say that Prince Hagen was actually a bastard among the nobility, that is, such a bastard, and this was all planned by him.

With everything he has in play, the debts he owes will only increase. The people in the bank also have their own backing, and they are not afraid that Prince Hagen will not pay back the money. Anyway,

Prince Hagen's palace has a fixed income of about 200 million silver every year, which is given by the court. All these things can be used to pay off debts in the future. If that happens, they will be happy. This is a long-term meal ticket.

Yes, all three billion silver can be repaid in fifteen years, but after fifteen years, all the money will be given for free. Although the cycle is a little longer, it is still very good. The bank used to

I also did this kind of business when I was a child. The Duke Del's Palace in the south was like this. It owed usurious loans worth 1.5 billion, and it has been repaid for thirty years. In addition to the original money owed, all the money in the past thirty years has been paid back.

The interest and other expenses are already more than 2 billion, and it is impossible for them to pay back such money.

Prince Hagen definitely did not want his Prince's Palace to become a platform for loan sharks to make profits. He knew what the consequences would be, so he immediately asked his butler to go to the Cao Family Firm in the evening to say that he agreed to their proposal.

If he asked for it, it would be 1.5 billion, but he also had an additional condition, that is, if he asked the Cao family bank to lend him 2 billion silver, he could use his salary in the court as collateral. This is a typical

You are just tearing down the east wall to pay for the west wall, otherwise you may really be doomed like this. Although the money from the Cao Family Trading Company also requires interest, compared with those loan sharks, the money from the Cao Family Trading Company is really nothing.

The annual interest rate of the commercial bank is only about 15%. You must know that the annual interest rate of these loan sharks is more than 60%. However, not everyone can get a loan from the Cao Family Commercial Bank, and it must be a large amount.

It is possible only if you have a small loan or something. People will not accept this business at all. Prince Hagen did this after very painful consideration. Otherwise, he would have to be a poor man for the rest of his life.

Gu Xin agreed to Prince Hagen's proposal, and discussed with Bai Er and the others that they could use Prince Hagen's salary as collateral, as well as the remaining assets of Prince Hagen's palace. Two billion.

The annual interest rate of the silver is 16%, and the annual interest is 320 million. The Prince Hagen's palace pays more than 200 million every year. His own property can also have a handwriting of 500 million silver. It is said that they are still very capable of repaying the debt.

, then just ask people to keep an eye on them. It is expected that he will not be able to make any waste. If the expenses are reduced, it will be very simple to pay off the debt. When Prince Hagen received the news, he immediately

I don’t have any strength left. It’s really my own fault. If I hadn’t thought about confronting Li Cong at the beginning, I wouldn’t have reached this point. In fact, it was Prince Hagen who did this. If it had been someone else.

Li Cong, a man with relatively strong economic strength, would not be able to succeed. Prince Hagen was forced to do nothing by his own interest. If it were a palace with strong economic strength, there would be no need to care about this interest at all. They

We can definitely continue to fight against Li Cong. At that time, it was Li Cong who was taking the initiative. He had to buy these lands. Otherwise, he would really suffer.

After this battle, Prince Hagen has no confidence. Now he is like a fool. The whole capital has basically spread the news. What a stupid thing Prince Hagen has done. It is not that no one among them understands this.

With the huge profits inside, they also wanted to cooperate with Prince Hagen to transfer these lands, but they just thought that their family had also ordered a lot of elixirs from the Cao Family Trading Company.

Something with a bright future offended Li Cong, and the days to come were really not easy, so he was able to resolve the matter so smoothly. The happiest person after this matter spread was Prince Yulin. He and Hagen

The two princes have been fighting for a lifetime, and now this old guy has no effect at all. If he wants to, he can always come to the capital to bully him for a while.

Although the royal family also thinks that the Cao Family Trading Company's treatment of Prince Hagen is something they can't get along with, but at this time they are only thinking about alchemy. Compared with that matter, Prince Hagen's matter is like a small spin.

, it’s not worth mentioning at all, especially since Prince Zheng also said that this kid is simply bringing humiliation to himself. Prince Zheng’s influence in the royal family can be said to be second only to the emperor. He has said so. Others

Even if the people want to say something, they have to swallow it down. Especially when they see Prince Zheng’s thirteen eunuchs coming back, naturally they are even more afraid to speak. These guys are all afraid to speak.

He has a hot temper, just like Prince Zheng. In the past few days, he has beaten many powerful people in the capital. They are all like Prince Zheng, upright people. As long as they can't stand things, they will definitely take care of them. Anyway, they are behind

With Prince Zheng's support, what's wrong, who would dare to go to Prince Zheng's palace to find them? Do they have the courage? Of course they don't have the courage.

Now that the matter of the land has been settled, Bai Er and Gu Xin started the construction plan according to the plan left by Li Cong when he left. They planned to build the first Cao family's land in the 1072 counties and cities of the Western Empire.

Approximately 1,500 residences will be built in the luxury residential area. This is also the first plan for the expansion of the Western Empire. The plan requires an investment of more than 3.5 billion silver. The final total income will be about 400 billion silver. It will be completed in two years, which can be regarded as

It is a long-term investment plan. This plan cannot be considered a good plan in terms of making money or cycle time. It is purely for the purpose of making the name of Cao Family Trading Company known and preparing to become the commercial overlord of the Western Empire.

Two months later, Li Cong also followed the resting action at the beginning. Now Li Cong has finished refining all the elixirs. In these two months, Li Cong maintained five levels most of the time.

The medicine cauldron works at the same speed, otherwise it would take at least a year to complete. All the medicinal materials worth more than 20 trillion silver have been turned into elixirs. If Li Cong took all these elixirs

If they are all sold, it is estimated that the total value will exceed hundreds of billions of gold. This is gold, not silver. Li Cong can also produce several fourth-grade elixirs at one time. Li Cong used to do this kind of thing.

Never imagined it.

After refining this medicine, Li Cong felt that he was definitely capable of sprinting for fifth-grade elixirs. The higher the level of elixirs, the more expensive and valuable they were. Li Cong looked at the elixirs in his body as if they were like a small mountain.

One pill can change anyone's destiny, but now I actually have so many pills, as many as a mountain. If I just throw these pills in the square outside, I don't know how many people will be scared to death.

Li Cong estimates that these low-level elixirs can last for at least a year. As for the high-level elixirs, it is estimated that he will not be able to last for half a year. As long as he puts all these things on the shelves, they will be bought immediately without bargaining. Of course

I will never do such a thing for the sake of sustainable development. Li Cong has already prepared how to do future business. That is to put this elixir on the shelves. You have to get me ten portions of the medicinal materials plus a certain amount.

It comes with funds, otherwise it would not be sold to you. Li Cong did this for a reason. Normally, if you find an alchemist to make medicine, you will be charged five copies of the medicinal materials, some fees and a favor. Now this favor

I don’t want it for now, just give me ten portions of medicinal materials and money, and you can get it 100%, which you may not get from other alchemists. In fact, Li Cong doesn’t care.

The price has been slightly reduced. It is estimated that there will be a lot of customers this way, and those who have prescriptions can slowly negotiate. This time Li Cong has obtained a lot of prescriptions, and I believe that he will gradually do so in the future.

of income.

In addition, Li Cong really has the ability to use high-energy heat. Now Li Cong can instantly create a flame of up to 13,000 degrees. If Li Cong is given one minute, the temperature can reach 15,000 degrees.

If there is enough time, Li Cong can even create a flame reaching 20,000 degrees. This is impossible for any fire magician, but in Li Cong's case, all these things are achievable.

His mental strength has also improved a lot, but it is impossible to be promoted to the ninth level magician. After going out, Li Cong also wants to learn some important magic skills of his own, and by the way, he also wants to learn from those dark magicians.

The pharmacists have contacted each other carefully. Since you have not come to me, I will just go to the trouble of looking for you. Although King Lear and the nigger are dead, their mistakes cannot be forgiven. (To be continued.)
