I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 990 - 1080: Grab the Profits and Run
The Prince gritted his teeth: "Brother, I am in charge here. Do you have money to buy this? Do you even know how much these resources cost?"
Why don’t you go and cool off somewhere else, go play by yourself!
He has the inheritance from the first Queen, that’s why he dares to buy so many things. Where does this brother have money! Clearly, he is just raising the price to trick him!
The Second Prince replied, "I am serious, brother. Even if I buy it at this price, once the Huaxia people leave, I can sell this much beer a little around and make the money back. After all, retail and wholesale prices are never the same."
The Prince gritted his teeth, as if he didn’t know this? When he gets this batch of beer at a low price and then sells them in small cups, he can at least make four to five times the profit. At this moment, his composed exterior nearly shattered, as he smiled with gritted teeth:
"I don’t need you to teach me. Father just wanted you to observe the world today, not to interfere with the family business."
Jing Shu and the others seemed quite entertained. Are these two brothers about to fight?
The others chuckled, thinking now it was great — if the two of them fought and raised the prices, wouldn’t it be easier for them to sell their beer?
Though the Second Prince was young, having the current Queen as his mother, he had no psychological burden in bullying a child without a mother. He confidently raised his hands above his head:
"My dear brother, of course, I know. But I am here, naturally as one of the buyers. I am willing to buy it all without negotiating the price, one hand on the money, one hand on the goods. Does anyone have a higher offer?"
The grand banquet hall quieted down; no one said a word. Although some knew that once the Second Prince bought all the beer, he might mark-up the price to sell, they had no choice. They lacked the capacity to acquire all the beer from thirteen ships.
The Prince gritted his teeth, never imagining that his beloved brother would play such a move on him. He gazed sinisterly at his brother, tightly gripping the wine glass, and then burst out laughing.
"Since my brother is so generous, then let you buy it. If you lose money, don’t blame your brother. And don’t complain." In reality, he had already made up his mind.
High price purchases are impossible, as merchants chase profits. The Royal Family needs to store more power during the apocalypse. But since the Huaxia are selling at such high prices, he doesn’t blame them. The Huaxia must die, the Second Prince too; the beer and oil all belong to him.
For now, just let them have it. Later, he’ll take everything back, making a bloody profit.
The Second Prince seemed a naive fool, but in reality, no one knew he was carrying out his mother’s orders, deliberately provoking the Prince, snatching away all his business, inflating prices. Thus, the Prince would be unwilling and surely retaliate.
It would also drag the Huaxia into trouble. These Huaxia are not easy to handle, so let them harm each other.
As for the large amount of oil he paid, his mother said that once the Huaxia and the Prince start fighting, they will intervene, and by then, all the beer, oil, and the Prince’s things will be his.
Under the battle between the Prince and the Second Prince, the people of the Huaxia Bodyguard Team didn’t expect the goods to sell so easily at a hundredfold price today.
Yang Yang was ready for the other side to haggle, but surprisingly, the Second Prince didn’t bargain at all.
Both parties happily completed the deal. In just ten minutes, they finalized the contract and immediately began the transaction on the spot.
For a time, the atmosphere of the banquet in the hall became somewhat bizarre.
The Prince brought out other items again, and some other merchants exchanged goods, but everyone’s mind was on the Second Prince and the Huaxia.
The Prince had been suppressing his inner agitation. Tonight, the Second Prince trampled his dignity. Tomorrow would be their death day. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Originally, thirteen ships of beer could exchange for thirteen ships of oil, which was already quite good. But unexpectedly, now it exchanged for nearly 30 ships of oil.
The Second Prince had prepared long ago, a barrel of oil was transported up, a barrel of beer was shipped down.
It took almost all night to transport. The oil not only filled Jing Shu’s ship but also packed some of the remaining cargo ships from before.
Once the goods were handed over, the Huaxia Bodyguard Team didn’t even sleep, setting sail overnight from Dubai’s bay to head back.
Big Yellow Teeth was woken up halfway through sleeping, still confused, "Weren’t we supposed to be bait? Why are we leaving in the middle of the night?"
Yang Yang, Jing Shu, and the others hadn’t slept; they were night owls staying up late. Old Zhou had also napped for a while, packing everything needed into bags, rubbed his temples: "It’s time to go, or else we’ll get caught up in the Royal family struggles."
So, taking advantage of having just completed the transaction, Jing Shu and her entourage seized the opportunity, set sail directly, leaving the Second Prince’s people bewildered.
When over a hundred large ships set sail on the sea, it did attract many people’s attention.
Jing Shu smiled sweetly at the surplus of more than twenty ships of oil, "Once you’ve got the advantage, you should leave quickly. Staying as bait won’t catch such a big fish again."
Yang Yang stared at the pitch-black sea, where rotten corpse insects roamed freely, meaningfully nodding: "They’ll probably chase after us soon. We need to widen the gap, otherwise what if Old Yi’s artillery hits us?"
