Everything was set and ready once Albert took the bait. He had no idea what I was after and would never guess what my thod was. My thod would allow to rapidly rake in the money in society. The attached risk was that one failure would send the entire plan down the drain. In essence, it was a gamble. Trying to make an enormous profit from nothing was a gamble. Nevertheless, it was the concept Sisi used to rule. The thod was convenient and straightforward, which made it perfect against a businessman with other tangible assets, a box that Albert ticked off his import and retail family business.
A sumptuous al had been prepared for and Albert in the dining hall. Ross, who was next to Lilia, was surprised to see . He then cheerfully ran up to and bowed. With a smile, he effused, Lord Lin, why are you here? Were you not at the imperial capital?! I heard you had been conferred the rank of count! You are no a noble! You will live in the imperial capital from now, right?! Miss Leah and Lord Veirya must be very happy about it!
Thats right. Ross, head straight to the imperial capital when you co back. Veirya and I will still hold our wedding in the North, however, so well be going back there again. I scrubbed Ross head with a smile.
So so, how shall I address you from now? You are now a noble, so I cannot address you as I did in the past, can I? What would be appropriate? I will be sure to address you properly! You just need to tell how I address you!
Theres no need to change anything. To be honest, Im not interested in being a noble, I answered, sitting down in the chair opposite Albert. Ross, just behave as you did. Frankly, youre already respectful.
Lord Lin, we should welco you after you went out of your way to co here. Unfortunately, we did not know you were coming, so we sincerely apologise for failing to welco you properly, expressed Lilia, standing up and speaking with a smile.
I reciprocated the smile: Madam Lilia, there is no need for you to do that. You should sit as you are pregnant. I did not notify you out of consideration for your health. Furthermore, I only ca to discuss so things with Albert and, therefore, did not want to disturb you.
You are being too courteous. Albert has just inherited the business; I hope you can provide him with excellent suggestions, responded Lilia, as she sat back down in her chair.
Lord Lin ca mainly to help with my business. I am sincerely grateful to him. My business had entered a deadlock, but I am sure I can overco the obstacle with Lord Lins assistance, explained Albert.
Lilia cheerfully clapped: Really? I am glad to hear that! It is fantastic to hear that Lord Lin took the initiative to co and help you. Although I do not understand your business for I am a woman, I do feel that Lord Lin is the right man to consult. Lord Lin, thank you very much.
I heartily laughed: What can I do? While Ive been conferred the rank of count, Queen Sisi didnt provide with the assets to go with it. As a consequence, I need to earn money to feed Madam Veirya as well as Miss Leah. That is why I must seize opportunities to make money. As a result, here I am hoping to join Albert to earn so money. Additionally, I will have a stable inco this way.
Really? So, that ans that Lord Lin and Sir Albert are now friends?! inquired Ross. Judging from Ross tone, Albert and I becoming friends was supposedly sothing worth being delighted about.
I softly laughed: Thats right. I am now friends with Albert. We do need to work together, after all. None of us will earn, otherwise.
So, what is your thod, Lord Lin? asked Albert.
Haha, Albert, your business main business is importing foreign goods to resell, correct? You dont sell to just nobles but also offer lots of things commoners would purchase. The thing is not all commoners can afford them as they are considered luxuries. Commoners wouldnt be able to afford them. Nonetheless, they are attractive. For instance, there are drinks and exquisite ceramics.
Indeed. While commoners will buy porcelain, that does not an everyone can afford it. We target mainly nobles and the wealthy. Albert nodded then waited for to elaborate.
I carried on, Why are you stuck in an impasse? Its because you dont have enough money on hand, correct? So, we can do this: well sell your ceramics to the commoners. Let them buy a sort of fund. Three months later, repay the money used to buy the ceramics.
By doing that, within three months, well have a huge inco. Once we get our hands on the shipyard three months later, we can get a loan from the bank with the shipyards shares as collateral to fill the gap. Next, we use the profits from the shipyard to repay the loan from the bank. Everybody has seen what the value of the shipyard is. Given that it could generate inco, the bank would unquestionably go along with it. That was the fastest way to gather up scattered money.
Commoners are easy to deceive as they wouldnt know what was going on behind the scenes. Plus, they would think, Getting luxury items for free? Why not? If we also deploy a scarcity tactic and limit it to one purchase per person, then so might even invest in the small business. In turn, lots of people would buy it and then resell it. Theyd think they were smart when, in reality, they helped us fulfil our goal.
Albert locked his brows as he pondered what my suggestion. I didnt feel anxious by his look because I knew hed opt to go with the aforentioned thod in the end. That was the only way he could instantly attract a large sum of money. Nothing would change, otherwise. Plus, after my ruse, the bank would no longer provide those who didnt have shares anything. Accordingly, my approach was Alberts only option.
Finally, Albert stated, If we do that, we will be bankrupt if it fails.
We wont. If necessary, you just need to sell so shares to cover it. The price of the shares will still be high. All you need to do is abandon the goods, and youll get back your expenses. Thats why theres no need to worry about anything. If you dont get the rights to the shipyard, your shares wont serve much purpose. As a matter of fact, youd be better off just selling them.
Mm Lets do that, then!
