It's late at night and everything is silent.
To the east of the city is Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Yingkai, Chu Wanliang, and Chen Xin were all full of thoughts and sat across from each other.
After a while, Chu Wanliang was the first to lose his composure and spoke to the two of them: "Boss Zhou, Boss Chen!"
"What should we do now?"
"I have offended Prince Rong, and from now on our status as imperial merchants..."
"Imperial businessman?" Chen Xin retorted, "Imperial businessman!"
"You have offended Prince Rong and still want to become an imperial merchant?"
"Isn't this a daydream?"
"I believe it won't be long before we are stripped of our title of Royal Merchant because we contradicted Prince Rong!"
Hearing this, Chu Wanliang instantly turned pale.
"Then the glazed wine pot I bought for two million taels a few days ago was wasted, right?"
"Who knew that by not being able to cling to Prince Rong, I would actually offend him!"
Chen Xin snorted coldly and glanced at Zhou Yingkai with a vague look in his eyes.
"Who makes us so ignorant that we dare to scream in front of the dignified Prince Rong?"
"I have already said that Liu Qing is not a simple person and cannot be messed with!"
"You must not listen, you must not listen!"
"It's good now, have we offended someone?"
Chen Xin's tone was extremely bad, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yingkai.
If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, coveting the petty profits in front of him, and insisting on sharing the 30% of the profits, he wouldn't have been implicated by him!
Especially his arrogant behavior yesterday was tantamount to self-destruction!
The more Chen Xin thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have voted for Zhou Yingkai to be the chairman of this chamber of commerce.
Not only was there no benefit at all this time, but it also caused a lot of trouble!
Zhou Yingkai had a dark face and didn't answer for a long time.
Seeing the two of them glaring at him angrily, Zhou Yingkai finally said slowly: "The matter has come to this, and there is no point in talking more!"
"To be honest, I don't plan to give any of this sponsorship fee."
"Since you have offended Prince Rong, no matter how you behave in the future, it will not help!"
Thinking of the shame and humiliation he encountered at Prince Rong's Mansion that night, Zhou Yingkai gritted his teeth and became furious!
He was born into a wealthy businessman's family. He was well clothed and well-fed since childhood, and had servants to serve him. It can be said that he enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world.
An ordinary merchant's home does not have a high status.
But his Zhou family runs the largest bank in Daliang, Sixi Bank, which is very different from ordinary merchants.
Therefore, no matter where Zhou Yingkai goes, he must be looked down upon.
Obtaining the status of Royal Merchant this time is the icing on the cake.
Even if I can't be this bullshit imperial businessman, I still have nothing to lose!
Hearing Zhou Yingkai's words, Chu Wanliang and Chen Xin were both shocked!
"Prince Tangtangrong, how can we commoners afford to offend him casually?"
"Anyway, I plan to donate money to keep safe. After all, money is an external possession, and the prince can't afford to offend him!"
Chen Xin even frowned: "Besides, I think what Prince Rong said is right!"
"Liu Qing just came to us for discussion before, and his attitude was extremely good!"
"Is there any intention of forcing us to give money?"
"Since we have become imperial merchants, we should lead the way and set an example!"
"What's more, Prince Rong also explained clearly that the money from the sponsorship was used to build the factory in Daliang."
"If this is the case, as an imperial merchant, I should fulfill my responsibilities!"
"Boss Zhou, please forgive me for not agreeing with you this time!"
After saying that, Chen Xin stood up and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Yingkai and Chu Wanliang.
"Boss Zhou, Boss Chu, I'll take the first step!"
Seeing Chen Xin leaving like that, Chu Wanliang became even more anxious.
"Boss Chen is so determined that he wants to take money to save his life!"
"Boss Zhou, what do you think?"
"According to what I say, why don't we go together and take out the money..."
"Anyway, your family has a big business and you don't care about these few million taels..."
Zhou Yingkai placed the tea cup heavily on the table, and the sound made Chu Wanliang suddenly shut his mouth.
"Boss Chu, if you are stupid and have a lot of money, you can just walk away like Boss Chen!"
"I am determined not to give out this money. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you."
"Let's talk about this..."
Zhou Yingkai changed the topic and showed a fierce look in his eyes.
"Now there are other princes in Daliang, and Prince Tarong's family is not the only one who has the final say!"
"Besides, it's not certain which prince will inherit the throne in the end!"
Chu Wanliang was horrified: "Boss Zhou!"
"You dare to say such treacherous and unethical things, you're going to die!"
Zhou Yingkai was very indifferent: "What I said is right, why can't I say it?"
"I heard that the second prince is unparalleled in bravery, so I guess he must be the favorite of Lord Long Live!"
"Since Prince Rong is unwilling to support us, why don't we join the Second Prince instead?"
"With the protection of the second prince, Prince Rong will not attack us easily!"
The idea put forward by Zhou Yingkai shocked Chu Wanliang, and he was instantly surprised!
"Wonderful!"
"Boss Zhou's idea is a new one, why didn't I think of it before?"
"Anyway, no matter which prince you follow, as long as you can make money, that's the last word!"
Seeing that Chu Wanliang agreed to his proposal, Zhou Yingkai immediately put on a smile.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and it is Boss Chu who sees things clearly."
"A hundred times better than that ignorant Chen Xin!"
"Without further delay, I will write a letter as soon as possible and ask someone to bring it to the second prince."
"Boss Chu, just wait for my good news!"
Seeing Zhou Yingkai's confident look, Chu Wanliang finally put his heart at ease.
"Okay, okay, then everything will follow Boss Zhou's arrangements!"
"Waiting for good news from Boss Zhou!"
After sending Chu Wanliang away, Zhou Yingkai immediately came to the desk and wrote a sincere and sincere handwritten letter with a stroke of his pen.
Before sealing the letter carefully, Zhou Yingkai thought twice before stuffing an ancient jade jewel into the envelope.
This ancient jade jue is one of the heirlooms of the Zhou family and has a history of nearly a thousand years.
This thing is extremely rare, worth tens of millions of taels at least!
Although Zhou Yingkai's body ached, when he thought of the determination he had just made, he still gritted his teeth and stuffed the Yujue into the envelope.
Zhou Yingkai understood that this money must be spent no matter what.
Since some blood must be shed, he would rather give this benefit to the second prince than to Prince Rong!
Who told Prince Rong to let himself lose face outside?
Looking at the heavy envelope in his hand, Zhou Yingkai's eyes were fierce and firm.
So what if he is a prince?
So what if it's Prince Rong?
Starting tonight, Zhou Yingkai wants him to be ruined and his reputation ruined!
