Luo Xingchen didn't believe that the British prince Zhao Shang really regarded him as one of his own. The reason why he was so enthusiastic was not because behind Luo Xingchen was Yang's Trading Company. At the same time, the Yang family was also the major shareholder of the Tianxia Business Alliance. It was all money.

the power of.

After Luo Xingchen took the account book, he opened it and looked at it.

This account book is not thick. Generally speaking, it is an account of some expenditures.

They are all big aspects, not too detailed.

I flipped through it a little and did the math again in my head.

Luo Xingchen looked up at British Duke Zhao Shang and his eyes changed...

The British Duke Zhao Shang and his family are really capable and able to spend money. Just eating this piece of food is a huge expense.

Overall, one million dollars a year is really not enough.

"This silver is not as valuable as before...it doesn't cost anything." British Duke Zhao Shang sighed again.

Luo Xingchen knew what the British Duke Zhao Shang meant.

He heard his mother say the word "inflation". The same amount of money cannot buy as many items as before. This is the truth that money is worthless.

This problem is difficult to solve. My mother said that we need to open a new type of bank to find a way to solve the financial problem.

A few years ago, Yang's Commercial Bank was immature and only established a small-scale bank without expanding its scale. Now it seems that it should choose a place to expand its scale and establish a new type of bank.

As for where to choose, Luo Xingchen hasn't decided yet.

"Mr. Luo, you see, everything in my house can be sold. Please help me find a good buyer." British Mr. Zhao Shang continued.

"Why don't you hold an auction? Invite wealthy businessmen from the capital to come and auction. The one with the highest price will win." Luo Xingchen asked.

Auctions are nothing new in the capital, and many businesses will sell some rare items in the form of auctions.

The British Duke Zhao Shang is both a noble and a relative. With his status, it is impossible for him to enter the imperial court and work as an official. His biggest hobby is doing business. In this area, the imperial court does not pay much attention to him.

limits.

Therefore, he is considered to be well-versed in some aspects of the business, so it is impossible that he does not know about the auction.

"auctions……"

"No way, these things can't see the light of day." British Duke Zhao Shang rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile.

"Why is this?" Luo Xingchen asked doubtfully.

"The origins of these things are a bit...hey, I said, you can't spread them out." At this point, the British Duke Zhao Shang's face became serious. He hesitated and walked around for a few times, and then stared into Luo Xingchen's eyes.

.

"I promise not to tell anyone about it under normal circumstances, as long as it doesn't harm my family."

Luo Xingchen can't guarantee that he won't tell anyone. There are preconditions for this.

"Well, I believe you won't say nonsense."

"These things come from the royal family and were given to me by the Supreme Emperor a few years ago." British Duke Zhao Shang said.

Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "The Emperor left it here with you, how dare you keep it for yourself and not hand it back?"

"Besides, keeping this thing is a disaster."

Luo Xingchen thought that the British Duke Zhao Shang had lost his mind and gone crazy. It was weird that he dared to take the things belonging to the Supreme Emperor, and then he kept them...

Aren't you afraid of being punished with beheading?

Luo Xingchen didn't think that the British Duke Zhao Shang's family had enough confidence to withstand the dangers contained therein.

"I didn't dare to pick it up at first, but today, His Majesty, he sent someone to look for me and asked me to take it. How dare I not do it." British Duke Zhao Shang said with a sad face.

Even though he gave birth to a good daughter and became a queen, the current emperor Qi Xingyun is considered his son-in-law, and he is also the true head of the country.

But things in the Tian family are not the same as those in ordinary families.

The status of the father-in-law may seem very honorable to outsiders, but in the eyes of the British prince Zhao Shang, this status is a blessing and a curse.

I don't know when a disaster will come, so I'm not as happy as a simple British man.

"What does Your Majesty have to say?" Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty asked me to keep it and see what the Emperor's plan is. I dare not not do it. Recently, the Emperor sent someone to deliver a letter, asking me to dispose of the antique calligraphy and paintings and exchange them for some money to send to the palace...

...You see, I happen to be short of money here, and I also need to get rid of some calligraphy and painting, so I just put them together..."

"But this matter is kept secret and cannot be known to outsiders, because some of the collections have the seal of the Supreme Emperor on them. People can tell at a glance that they are from the palace."

The British Duke Zhao Shang sighed again. He was very worried these days. If Luo Xingchen hadn't finally arrived in the capital, he couldn't help but set off to find Yang Ruoqing.

After much thought, only Yang Ruoqing can discuss such a big matter...

Of course, Luo Xingchen did it reluctantly, but compared with business wizards like Yang Ruoqing, after all, he was not mature enough. The young man was young and lacked experience.

Fortunately, Luo Xingchen can represent Yang Ruoqing and has the jurisdiction of Yang's Trading Company. This kind of power of the young master's family is enough to give him the ability to solve many problems.

"This time the Emperor wants to sell these antique calligraphy and paintings. Does Your Majesty know?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Of course I know that. Without his nod, how could I sell it?"

In this area, the British father Zhao Shang can still handle things clearly. Even if he is short of money, he should understand that some money can be earned and some money cannot be earned.

"I can help with this matter. I will send a trustworthy person to count the antique calligraphy and paintings here and give them a valuation..." Luo Xingchen said.

"That's good, I'll leave it to you this time." British Duke Zhao Shang looked overjoyed.

"I have conditions." Luo Xingchen said calmly.

"What conditions?"

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you..."

Luo Xingchen lowered his voice and said one thing.

The British Duke Zhao Shang immediately became serious. He was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "I agreed, but if there is any involvement in this matter, I will not admit it."

"You don't need to admit it, as long as you do things."

"No problem, then it's agreed."

A verbal agreement is enough. After all, with their status, they cannot go back on their words. They are all shareholders of the World Business Alliance. Everyone makes money together, so they must talk openly.

Luo Xingchen also felt a little relieved. He did not expect that this matter was unexpectedly accomplished.

"Be careful with some court officials."

The British prince Zhao Shang hosted a banquet to entertain Luo Xingchen, and said something quietly before sending him off.

After Luo Xingchen entered the carriage, the last words of the British Duke Zhao Shang were always echoing in his mind.

What exactly does it mean?

Which court official should we be careful about? Or a group of court officials?

This has no beginning and no end, and is quite similar to the Riddler that my mother, Yang Ruoqing, hates.
