Hearing that Song Huan was going to find Liu Qinglai, Zhou Yingkai's heart sank and he immediately understood his intention.
There is no way, what is supposed to come will still come!
In order not to offend this Prince Rong, even if you have to kowtow and admit your mistake, what does it matter?
Not long after, Liu Qing was seen walking over with Xiao Lingzi.
As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, he was startled by Zhou Yingkai who suddenly came up on his knees!
"Mr. Liu, I was the one who caused the conflict in Changchunfang yesterday!"
"Master Liu, please don't remember the faults of villains, and don't be the same as me!"
As he said that, Zhou Yingkai's head hit the ground and made a loud noise.
With Zhou Yingkai on his knees, Chen Xin and Chu Wanliang certainly did not dare to fall behind.
"Master Liu doesn't remember the faults of villains!"
"I will definitely invite Young Master Liu to drink someday and make amends to Young Master Liu!"
As he said that, Chen Xin and Chu Wanliang also kowtowed to the two of them.
They originally thought that Liu Qing was just a minion beside Prince Rong.
How could an inconspicuous little follower attract the attention of Prince Rong!
And just yesterday, Shangguan Yi’s case had not yet been concluded.
Liu Qing's father is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he might be implicated in this matter!
By that time, who would still know the minister’s son?
As an imperial merchant, he is a ninth-grade court official.
It's understandable to give this kid a show of strength!
But at this moment, the three of them were dumbfounded.
The Minister of Household Affairs was not affected in the slightest by Shangguan Yi's case, and Liu Qing was still the son of a third-rank official in the current dynasty.
And the most important thing is that he is not Prince Rong's lackey, but a capable person beside Prince Rong!
It's not good for me to provoke anyone, so I'm going to provoke him!
At this moment, the three of them felt huge regret in their hearts.
Seeing the somewhat extreme reactions of the three people, Liu Qing was immediately shocked!
What is this operation?
It’s quite unique!
Although he didn't know what happened specifically before, Liu Qing wanted to laugh when he thought of the confused look on the three people's faces when they knew Prince Rong's identity.
I am talking about these three ignorant guys!
Now that these three people are kowtowing and apologizing to themselves, they are probably complying with the bet they made with His Highness yesterday. They dare not disobey them!
After kowtowing to Liu Qing and admitting his mistake, Song Huan's main purpose of calling them here today could be considered achieved.
"Okay, you can go."
"Also, I would like to reiterate my point!"
"I will never force you to do anything about sponsorship."
"It's all voluntary!"
Unexpectedly, Prince Rong could let him leave intact, and the three of them felt a little unbelievable.
Hearing Song Huan say that sponsorship is all voluntary, the three of them rushed to say, "No, no, no!"
"Your Majesty never forced us!"
“We sponsor it sincerely and voluntarily!”
"Yeah!"
"This is our intention and our contribution to Daliang!"
"No one can stop me..."
Liu Qing half-opened his mouth. The scene in front of him was beyond his imagination!
Although each of these three people is worth over ten million and is as wealthy as anyone in the country, they are also notorious for being profiteers.
Of the original batch of glazed tableware, these three people bought the least.
However, in order to obtain the status of imperial merchants, the three of them gritted their teeth and bought some.
In the end, for some unknown reason, the most cunning Zhou Yingkai got the position of president of the Royal Merchants Association, which was beyond Liu Qing's expectation!
When he thought of Zhou Yingkai's cunning and treacherous character, Liu Qing knew that this guy would definitely not agree to the sponsorship.
Seeing Zhou Yingkai struggling to pay for it out of his own pocket at this moment, Liu Qing felt very divided!
Although he went through some twists and turns, no matter what, Prince Rong also received money from sponsorship.
As long as the result is good, it doesn't hurt to take some detours!
Just when Liu Qing thought that Prince Rong accepted the sponsorship with satisfaction, the matter could be settled.
Unexpectedly, Song Huan turned a blind eye to the three people's scrambling and turned around and left without looking back!
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The three of them didn't know what situation they were about to face, and they were all on tenterhooks and extremely frightened.
Liu Qing was also a little confused and ran a few steps quickly to keep up with Song Huan.
"Your Highness, what are you..."
Liu Qing was confused and a little confused.
Song Huan shook his head lightly: "I don't intend to take any of their money."
"Ah?" Liu Qing was puzzled, "Your Highness, I know you are proud, but this sponsorship money..."
"It's not a small sum of money!"
"Since they are rushing to give it, why don't we accept it happily?"
"A total of more than 10 million taels of silver were used to build a factory. Wouldn't it be nice for him..."
Liu Qing now really regards several factories as his own business. When he thinks that the money he could use to build factories has been wasted, Liu Qing feels a little sad.
Song Huan said: "I need sponsorship, but the sponsorship money I get from this is not rare to me."
"I would like to know how Zhou Yingkai became the president of the Imperial Merchants Association?"
Liu Qing clicked his tongue: "There are now thirty-four imperial merchants in Bianjing. For the sake of fairness, naturally we will vote for the president."
"There were several strong contenders at the time, but I heard that Zhou Yingkai secretly gave people benefits so he could get the title of president."
"What are the benefits of stuffing it?" Song Huan was puzzled, "These people must be worth a lot of money if they can become imperial merchants."
"Zhou Yingkai is so stingy, how much benefit can he give these people?"
Liu Qing shook his head: "Of course it's not a benefit like gold and silver!"
"I heard that Zhou Yingkai promised these people that once he becomes the president, he will introduce you to other royal merchants."
"Now that the Shen family is under your care, they are in great prosperity and making a lot of money, which makes them jealous to death."
"In order to cooperate with you, these people are naturally willing to vote for him!"
Song Huan suddenly realized that after a long time of quarrel, this guy was using his connections as a favor.
No wonder he negotiated terms with Liu Qing yesterday. In addition to asking for 30% of the income, he also wanted Liu Qing to lead him to see Prince Rong.
But the crux of the problem is that I don’t know him at all!
Thinking of his confusing operation, Song Huan felt a little funny.
Seeing that Song Huan could still laugh, Liu Qing was a little depressed.
"Your Highness, the sponsorship is gone. The three of them can still enjoy the status of royal merchants without spending a penny!"
"That's not fair!"
Song Huan said seriously: "Who said they can continue to enjoy the status of imperial merchants?"
"Whether they can continue to do business and make money in the future depends on their own destiny!"
"As for sponsorship..."
Having said this, Song Huan smiled slyly and looked at Liu Qing with bright eyes.
"Liu Qing, do you want to make a big fortune?"
