Chapter 266 The Wisdom of Prince Snow Star
The medicinal materials Dugu Bo took out this time were worth one million gold soul coins in total. But in the meantime, some businessmen increased the prices a lot in order to seize the right to purchase the medicinal materials.
In the end, he received 1.3 million gold soul coins, and after excluding all costs, the net profit was 1.03 million.
Most medicinal materials are cost-free to Dugu Bo. Every time he harvested medicinal herbs, he would leave seeds behind, and the cycle would start again.
Without the medicinal materials, many merchants who had not grabbed the medicinal materials retreated angrily, and the shop became quite deserted.
After a while, a group of people poured into the store, headed by Prince Snow Star and Xue Beng.
Douluo Continent is no better than Blue Star. There is no so-called ribbon-cutting ceremony when opening a store. Only people with excellent connections will come to support the store on the first day it opens.
The relationship between Xuexing and Dugu Bo is not that good. If it weren't for the personal relationship, Dugu Bo would never associate with him.
"Mr. Dugu, it seems that I am late." Xuexing said apologetically.
"Junior Xue Beng, I have met senior Dugu." Xue Beng hurriedly saluted.
If he wants to rise to power, he can only rely on Dugu Bo's support to compete with Xue Qinghe. On such an important occasion today, Xuexing shouldn't have been late.
Before setting off, he explained many matters to the avalanche, which caused a long delay.
"Your Highness, you are not late, but the medicinal materials here have been sold out. If you want to order the medicinal materials, you have to wait until tomorrow." Dugu Bo said calmly while lying on the rocking chair.
Xuexing rolled his eyes and continued: "Mr. Dugu has misunderstood. I heard that the Dugu clan once started from the medicinal materials business. Now that Mr. Dugu has returned to the business, I will definitely express my opinion."
As he spoke, he winked at Xue Beng.
Xue Beng understood and quickly presented the golden soul card he had prepared in advance in front of Dugu Bo respectfully, "Senior Dugu has helped me and the emperor many times, please accept this small gift."
Dugu Bo glanced casually.
This is a red golden soul card worth at least one million. It is impossible for Xue Xing to have so much money alone. This money was most likely given by Xue Ye to the other party to win over him.
This money is enough to cover the profit on the first day of opening.
You know, for today's opening, Dugubo had made sufficient preparations before this. Moreover, many merchants had already purchased the needed medicinal materials on the first day, and the daily income of the shops after that might not be half of what it is today.
Xuexing spent so much money in one go, which can be described as "full of sincerity."
Dugu Bo snorted softly, "Your Highness, you have no reward for your merits, so you should take the money back."
For a strong man like Dugu Bo, asking him to do things for money is the worst choice. Xuexing certainly knew this.
Titled Douluo can only value those two things, soul bones and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can help them break through. Both were in stock in the royal treasury.
But Xuexing is not the emperor and cannot decide the direction of the treasury's money. Furthermore, Dugu Bo did not explicitly state that he wanted to join the Tiandou royal family. It's not too early to take it out now.
"Mr. Dugu is saying that it is me who is abrupt. It just so happens that the medicinal materials in my palace have been used up. How about this, the money will be regarded as the payment for the medicinal materials I ordered from you. In the future, when Mr. Dugu is free, I will How about sending the medicinal materials to my palace?" Xuexing suggested.
Dugubo did not refuse.
Before this, Qi Tian had already told him that he would accept money from anyone, but the prerequisite was not to give it in vain, so as not to owe a favor.
After the peak period of the first day of the medicinal material store, the subsequent income will inevitably drop a lot, and medicinal materials will not be so easy to sell short.
Since Xuexing is willing to tell the truth, just send him the extra medicinal materials.
"Yanyan, take it over."
Dugu Yan did as he was told.
Xue Beng bowed and handed the golden soul card to the opponent's hand.
Dugu Yan has never seen so much money, and her eyes have never moved away from the golden soul card.
"Haha, it's fine if niece Dugu likes it." After saying that, Xuexing cupped her hands in the direction of Dugu Bo, "Mr. Dugu, I still have official business to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Yanyan, please see His Royal Highness off."
……
At Xuexing Mansion.
"Royal family, do I really have a chance to make progress?" Xue Beng asked with a worried look on his face.
This million gold soul coins were indeed given to him by Xue Ye as capital to win over Dugu Bo. But it was an investment with little return. Xue Ye will only bear half of the expenses on behalf of the royal family, and the other half will be deducted from Xue Beng's monthly salary.
Five hundred thousand gold soul coins are enough for his monthly salary for a year. If there is no return, Xue Beng will have to live with his belt tight for the next year.
Xue Xing drank tea leisurely, "Beng'er, how many times have I told you, don't worry, this is a long-term investment. Besides, your eldest brother is at the height of his power now. If you compete with him now, you will only be defeated." ”
"But Uncle Huang, I just can't wait any longer." Xue Beng muttered.
Xue Xing put down the tea cup and glared at him fiercely, "Beng'er, if you want to die, I won't stop you, but you don't want to implicate me."
"The Qinghe Emperor's nephew went to Wuhun City, and the strength shown by Wuhun Palace this time has deeply stung the nerves of the emperor brother and all the ministers in the court. At this time, the empire is unanimously open to the outside world, Where do you have the time to worry about the battle between concubines and prostitutes? "
When the conversation changed, Xuexing's face showed a smile, "Beng'er, there is a better way for you to get Mr. Dugu's support."
Xue Beng's brows were filled with joy, and he waited respectfully in front of Xue Xing, "My nephew is stupid, please let me know for sure."
Xuexing continued to drink tea and was not in a hurry to express his thoughts.
If you want the Tiandou Empire to grow stronger and stronger, then choosing Xue Qinghe as the successor to the royal family is undoubtedly the wisest. On the other hand, Avalanche is often too extreme or even at a loss when it comes to handling things.
Such a person becomes an emperor, and with the decentralization of power in the empire, it is still unknown whether he can control those kingdoms and principalities.
At the beginning, Xuexing was Xue Qinghe's supporter.
But later, when Xue Qinghe attacked the second and third princes, he did not let him participate. He also proposed to Xue Ye that the monthly salary of the royal family members should be reduced. This fundamentally affected his interests, so he had no choice but to support Avalanche.
Xue Xing's idea was also very simple. No matter what Xue Beng's ability was, as long as he could become the emperor, then he, the imperial uncle, would at least be able to spend his old age safely with the royal family's maximum monthly salary.
If it were Xue Qinghe, once the monthly salary of the royal family members was completely stopped, his life would not be easy in the future.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Beng'er, Mr. Dugu's granddaughter Dugu Yan, I remember that you and she are college alumni. Today, she has inadvertently revealed her desire for money."
"If you can spend some money on her, it's not impossible for you to tie the knot."
