“I’m not worried about that. It’s settled then, but Your Highness, where are you going to deliver the goods?” Zhao Hai smiled. If I don’t take it, I’ll go to Tianshui city, right?”
Charlie smiled. &Quot; of course not Tianshui city. I would like to ask you to deliver the goods to Jade water city. That’s my territory. I wonder if that’s possible? ”
&Quot; of course, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; we’ll deliver the goods once a month from now on, and every defective product will be delivered next month. I wonder if your Highness agrees? ”
Charlie smiled. &Quot; thank you for your understanding, Sir. I do need some time to prepare. I wonder if you still have any business to do? ” Sir has milk wine in his hands, so their relationship with the orcs should be good, right?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s just as Your Highness said. I have a good relationship with the Tauren tribe. I still have a lot of wool products in my hands. Are you interested in this business, Your Highness? ”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Charlie couldn’t help but secretly nod his head, praising Zhao Hai for his tactfulness. With just a little hint, Zhao Hai immediately understood what he meant. Charlie immediately said, &Quot; I’m interested. How many blankets do you have, Sir? ”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; including the carpets and rugs, there should be at least 10000 of them. Although this number is not much, it will slowly increase when spring comes. &Quot;
Charlie nodded. &Quot; okay, Sir. I’ll take these blankets. Can you sell them at market price? ”
&Quot; that’s great, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; next month, when I deliver The Hunchback to Your Highness, I’ll also bring the blanket and carpet with me. What do you think, Your Highness? ”
Charlie smiled and said, ” good, very good. It’s a deal, Sir. May I ask why you’ve come to Izumo City this time? ” If there’s anything, onas can be of some help.”
&Quot; that’s right, Sir, ” onas quickly said. &Quot; if there’s anything in waterscape city, I can help. &Quot;
“Actually, it’s nothing much. I just want to buy some things in the city and open a small shop,” Zhao Hai said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Charlie’s eyes lit up,”Why don’t we invite you to open a shop in the Jade water city? The goods in Jade water city are similar to those in water exit city, and that’s my territory. Once you get there, I can exempt you from all taxes. What do you think, Sir?”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He didn’t expect Charlie to be so enthusiastic. He knew that if he didn’t agree, it would be equivalent to offending Charlie. He didn’t know what kind of person Charlie was, but if he was a narrow-minded person, he might take revenge on him in the future.
However, if he agreed to open his shop in Jade water city and Charlie fell out with him in the future, everyone he left in Jade water city would be in danger. This put Zhao Hai in a difficult position.
Charlie saw that Zhao Hai did not say anything and knew that he would not want to do it in the future, so he quickly said,”Sir, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean to force you. If you want to go, then go. If you don’t want to, then forget it. This won’t affect our cooperation.”
Zhao Hai looked at Charlie and smiled. &Quot; Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. Your Highness has given me such good conditions. Of course, I’m going to Jade water city. This time, I only came here to take a look because it’s close to water out city. How about this? I’ll go to Jade water city tomorrow. When will Your Highness return? ”
Charlie looked at Zhao Hai and smiled. &Quot; I’m going back to Jade water city as well. Why don’t we hitch a ride on your boat tomorrow? would you be willing to? ”
Zhao Hai was slightly taken aback. He then smiled and said, ” &Quot; I can’t even invite a guest like you, Your Highness. Let’s do it this way. I’ll wait for you on the boat tomorrow. Your Highness can go directly to the toll dock of the water city. My boat is the Paradise. &Quot;
Charlie smiled and said, ” alright, it’s settled then. I won’t disturb you today. Have a good rest after you go back. We’ll have a chat on the ship tomorrow. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and stood up. &Quot; it’s settled then. Your Highness, I’ll take my leave. &Quot; He bowed to Charlie and left the living room under the lead of Li Rui.
Charlie walked Zhao Hai all the way to the door before saying goodbye to him. Only after Zhao Hai’s figure disappeared from his sight did Charlie return to the living room.
Onas looked at Charlie and said,”Your Highness, aren’t you being too polite to him?” Why did he have to be exempted from tax? Is it just because of The Hunchback and the milk wine?”
Charlie smiled and shook his head. &Quot; no, onas, you don’t understand. When I first met Zhao Hai, I didn’t think about this. However, after seeing him, I suddenly wanted to pull him to my side because this person is very scary. His scariness doesn’t lie in his schemes. He didn’t use any schemes. All his probes and everything he did were obvious. You could see it at a glance. However, this is the reason why I value him. He doesn’t use schemes. This shows that he is confident in his own strength and disdains using schemes. Most importantly, I see something rare in him, sincerity.”
Onas was stunned and looked at Charlie in confusion. Charlie looked at onas and smiled bitterly.”There are too many conspiracies in this world. It’s rare to see a sincere person, so why should I cooperate with him? For someone like Zhao Hai, as long as you treat him well and don’t betray him, he won’t betray you for the sake of benefits.”
Onas looked at Charlie in confusion and said, ” “Your Highness, how did you know? Why can’t I see it?”
Charlie smiled and said,”do you still remember that I said I wanted to work with him?” If it was an ordinary person, he would have agreed to it happily. No matter what, my status as the third Prince is higher than that of the Sheila family. However, when he cooperated with me, he directly removed the share of the Sheila family and the karci family. He told me directly how much he could provide me besides the share of those two families. This was actually a test. He wanted to see my attitude on this matter. If I even wanted the share of those two families at that time ... He definitely won’t work with me. Onas, you should know about the recent events with the karci family, right? The fifth son of the kalchi family seems to have set his eyes on him, and he seemed to have suffered a loss in Zhao Hai’s hands some time ago. In this case, Zhao Hai still didn’t give me the share of the kalchi family. It can be seen that he is a person who values relationships. If such a person can really be used by me, it would be my blessing.”
When onas heard Charlie’s words, he finally understood. He nodded and said,”But when your Highness invited him to Jade water city, he seemed to be a little hesitant?”
“That’s the second reason I like him,” Charlie said with a smile.”Think about it, if he were to open a shop in Jade water city, would he stay there for years? &Quot; definitely not. He’ll send his subordinates to look after the shop. I’ll give him tax exemption, which is a high-class condition. Most people would have agreed long ago. The reason why he hesitated is because of his subordinates. He sent his subordinates to open a shop in Jade water city. If one day he fell out with me, how could his shop in Jade water city still be good? He’s afraid that one day, I’ll make a move on the people he left in Jade water city. A person who is so considerate of his subordinates, I naturally have my eyes on him.”
Onas looked at Charlie in admiration and said, ” “Your Highness, you have such a sharp eye. But if Zhao Hai is really a sentimental person, why didn’t he give all the shares to the kalci family? The carci family had helped him a lot before.”
Charlie smiled and said, &Quot; because he’s afraid. He wants to leave a way out for himself. I think there must be a lot of people under Zhao Hai, and those people are counting on him to make a living. If he puts all his treasures on the Karche family, he will suffer a great loss in case the Karche family no longer cooperates with him. This is human nature and understandable. Additionally, I think the total of 100000 spicy diced fish and 100000 Jin of milk wine he said is not necessarily his total. He will always leave a way out for himself.”
Onas nodded. He could understand this. It was human nature to have a backup plan. Even he had prepared a backup plan for himself. There was nothing strange about that.
Charlie looked at onas and smiled. &Quot; this Zhao Hai is not simple. The incident with Duke Ryan had a lot to do with him, but he was unscathed. I heard that when he was in the Arkas Empire, he had offended King Borich of the South and the Church of Light. Under the pursuit of Borich and the Church of Light, he was able to escape to the orc grasslands unscathed. Then, he used a fake identity to escape from the Arkas Empire to our Roson Empire. After that, he led the entire Empire to go against the Church of Light. Most importantly, the ideas he gave to the carci family directly hit the vital part of the Church of Light, making it difficult for the Church of Light to move an inch in our Roson Empire. This is what I like about him.”
Onas frowned and said,”Your Highness, wasn’t that idea from the kalci family?” Why did you say it was Zhao Hai?”
Charlie said disdainfully, ” if the carci family really had a good idea, they would have used it long ago. Why would they be suppressed by the Church of Light for so many years? this idea was only thought of by the carci family after Zhao Hai arrived in Tianshui city. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? ” “Therefore, I think this idea is probably proposed by Zhao Hai. Hehe, if those old fogeys who are in power in the kalchi family could come up with such an idea, it would be really strange. However, Smith and his brothers are really good. They are very capable and have sharp eyes. However, that fifth brother Zhu Wan is really a waste. If there’s a chance, I can pull Smith and his brothers over. If I can get their support, hehe.” I’m afraid that position won’t be able to escape.”
Onas really didn’t expect Charlie to have such a high evaluation of Smith and the others. However, he wasn’t angry. He knew his own abilities. He was still passable as a merchant, but when it came to helping Charlie seize the throne, his two skills were really not enough.
Charlie looked at onas. Onas was very important to him. First, he was talking about how strong onas was, and second, how loyal onas was to him. This was something that no one else could compare to. At the thought of this, Charlie could not help but smile. &Quot; onas, go and prepare for me. I’ll take Zhao Hai’s ship back to Jade water city tomorrow. I’ll leave the matters here to you. Remember, you’re a merchant now. Don’t contact me unless it’s something very important. You just have to do your part as a merchant. &Quot;
Onas replied.
