Wang Dengku felt that he had lost his luck, otherwise why would he be able to alarm the prince? He was a thing, even if he was rich, he was just a businessman.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen were the lowest professions. In the feudal society where farming was the main force, the status of merchants was extremely low.

In the Tang Dynasty, even issued a decree: merchants should not be officials. Fan Li helped King Goujian of Yue to conquer the world during the Spring and Autumn Period. After his success, he retreated bravely, avoiding Goujian's suspicion.

Just because Fan Li later started doing business, it is said that he and Xi Shi became "the couple of gods and immortals". Because of his business, Fan Li was not evaluated by historically equivalent to his achievements, and his achievements were almost erased from history.

In the Song Dynasty, the status of merchants began to improve. Although there were no laws to suppress merchants in the Ming Dynasty, merchants were looked down upon in the upper class.

His business actually alarmed the crown prince of the current dynasty. Who is the crown prince? Having the support of the crown prince is equivalent to being recognized by the court. How could Wang Dengku be unhappy about such a thing?

Luo Yangxing smiled: "In the business of business, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a glass factory in Xishan. I believe Manager Wang has heard of it."

When it comes to glass factory, Wang Dengku's heart skipped a beat. Glass factory is a huge profit-making industry.

When it comes to this glass factory, which businessman is not salivating. This is a technology-based monopoly industry. No one can make this kind of glass with transparent texture that shelters from wind and rain.

The three-foot square glass costs fifty cents, Wang Dengku thinks that the prince is a fool. How can he do business like this? Even though fifty cents can make a profit.

However, this is not what business does. Do you have any competitors? Scarce is valuable. But the father-in-law Zhou Kui, who was a big shot at the time, opened his mouth and sold three taels of silver for glass, which made the glass unsold.

Neither the prince nor the father-in-law are for business. Although in the long run, the price set by the prince is understandable. However, based on the interests of the merchants, the price of three-foot square glass is at least 500 to 800 cents is reasonable.

This price is not painful for the people. Poor people cannot afford it, but rich people can bear it. What is important is that from a business perspective, it can be said that interests are maximized.

Therefore, when Luo Yangxing lifted the glass factory, Wang Dengku's eyes were straightened. He looked at the doors and windows of his living room, and then said, "Sir Luo, look, the doors and windows of the villain's house are all made of Xishan glass."

Luo Yangxing smiled slightly: "Well, it's not bad. So, Manager Wang knows this glass factory, so I won't introduce it much. What our Crown Prince means is that he wants to sell the glass factory in Xishan."

sell?

Wang Dengku's breathing was rapid: "Little, the little man heard that the business of Xishan Glass Factory is in full swing, and the orders are coming next year. For some reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to sell it."

The glass factory is for sale, is there nothing wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This is a treasure pot. What did this little prince think about such a good business?

Unexpectedly, Luo Yangxing sighed: "Oh, you know too. His Highness the Crown Prince has two armies in his hand. They are the invincible Hu Ben Army and the Eastern Palace Guards directly under His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Dengku also knew that, but he would rather seem to be pretending to be confused in this kind of thing and smiled awkwardly: "This, Lord Luo, he is, the villain only knows business and knows nothing about the government."

Luo Yangxing said "Yes": "It is reasonable for the manager Wang to be unaware of it. The prince has two armies in his hands, and it is very expensive to raise soldiers. However, the court refused to allocate one or two military pay, so the emperor only asked the prince to raise funds on the spot. But this raising soldiers is not something that can be solved by raising funds. His prince is worried about military pay every day."

What does this mean? Is it said that the prince wants money from him? Wang Dengku asked tentatively: "I don't know what Lord Luo needs help from a villain, even if he is instructed. As long as the villain can help, the villain will definitely be willing to refuse. If he needs to donate money, the villain can donate 10,000 taels of silver to provide military expenses."

Luo Yangxing immediately became mysterious. He lowered his voice and said, "We appreciate the feelings of the shopkeeper Wang, but our little prince pays attention to reputation. If you want to donate money, your prince will never agree. Your prince's meaning is that he wants to sell the Xishan Glass Factory. I wonder if Storekeeper Wang is interested in buying this Xishan Glass Factory?"

It turns out that he is a prodigal son. After all, this little prince is young and ignorant and does not understand the way of doing business. He actually sold his glass factory for military expenses.

Wang Dengku is an illegal businessman who has been doing business all his life. He knows the importance of Xishan Glass Factory. With this glass factory, it is equivalent to having a treasure pot.

The young prince didn't understand and wanted to rush to sell it, so Wang Dengku was naturally drooling. However, he didn't dare to deliberately lower the price. It would be better to buy Xishan Glass Factory at a reasonable price.

Why, if it were someone else, Wang Dengku would definitely lower the price. But the prince couldn't do it. If the prince knew about it in the future, the price of his Xishan Glass Factory was low, and he would not be able to resent himself in the future.

Once the prince is resentful, he has a few heads that he can cut. If he pays a high price or even buys it at a sky-high price, it will be different.

The higher the price he paid, the more he valued him. For example, if the Xishan Glass Factory is worth three million taels, then he would pay four million taels. In this way, the Prince will only be grateful to himself in the future and will never hold a grudge against him.

Now the little prince has fought a few battles with the Qing Dynasty, and it is a time when he is short of money. Otherwise, he would not have fallen to the point of selling glass factories.

Thinking of this, Wang Dengku's eyes turned: "Don't worry, Lord Luo, as long as the prince's price is offered, the villain will definitely find a way to buy it. As long as it can help the prince through the difficulties, the villain will do whatever he wants!"

Luo Yang was overjoyed, and he continued to secretly stretch out four fingers: "Your Highness the Prince means this number, although the price is a little expensive. But you also know that the Xishan Glass Factory will eventually make a profit. In the future, Manager Wang will take over, and the profit will not be just about this number."

Wang Dengku was shocked. Four million taels were indeed a sky-high price. However, he thought about it carefully and gritted his teeth: "Okay, please tell Your Highness the Crown Prince. Although the villain is just a businessman, he also wants to contribute some effort to the Ming Dynasty. Let's do this, the villain gritted his teeth and added another 500,000 taels to be considered as doing some effort to the Crown Prince."

Luo Yangxing was shocked: "Oh, I didn't expect that Manager Wang would be so aware of it. Okay, after I return to the palace, I will definitely report to Prince Ming, saying that Manager Wang will take the initiative to add 500,000 taels of silver to help the Prince rectify the army."
