Chapter 174 Simple Thinking and Low IQ
The acquaintance between Elsa and her grandparents should have been a pleasant one, but unfortunately the current atmosphere in the room was far from harmonious.
Although Elsa and Parola chatted happily, Erica, who was brought over by Adrian later, saw Elsa who looked exactly like her daughter. She was so excited that she joined the chat with tears streaming down her face.
It's a pity that Aubrey and Adrian on the other side have been eyeing Tang En covetously.
"Twain, please make a price."
Aubrey suddenly said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do to make Elsa stay?"
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
Tang En grinned: "If you want her to stay, go and tell her. What's the use of telling me."
"Come on!" Aubrey snorted, "Who are you lying to? Even a fool can see that your words have a great effect on Elsa...I tell you, the direct descendants of our Foel family must Going to Illus Royal Military Academy for further studies, you should understand that this is a huge opportunity for Elsa, and you cannot deprive her of the opportunity to learn and grow because of your own selfishness!"
"Of course! Of course!"
Tang En nodded repeatedly, with an awe-inspiring expression on his face: "I know the meaning very well, so I didn't stop you either."
Aubrey and Adrian looked at Tang En suspiciously. Although he said he didn't stop him, any fool could see that he had no intention of letting Elsa stay.
"You really won't stop it?"
"Of course! I keep my word!"
"Okay...Elsa, I-"
Tang En said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
I knew it!
I have to be crazy to believe him!
At this moment, Aubrey really had the urge to cut Tang En into pieces: "What's the matter?"
"I wonder if you have heard of the Datang Chamber of Commerce?"
"Datang Chamber of Commerce? Never heard of it."
Aubrey frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Tang En's smile froze and he looked at Hilton.
Hilton came over and whispered: "The transmission of news from Bein to the Imperial City is slow, and our supply of goods is insufficient, so the retail traders have not spread the news yet..."
"I see……"
Tang En nodded, with a bright smile on his face: "In that case, let me tell you straight, Your Majesty the Duke, I wanted to benefit the people, so I established a group called Datang in Ellington. Chamber of Commerce, do some humble small business.”
"so what?"
"I came to the imperial capital this time, on the one hand, to accept the interrogation of the noble council, and on the other hand, I want to expand the market here, so-"
"etc!"
Aubrey suddenly became excited: "What did you say? Are you going to be interrogated by the noble council? What trouble have you gotten into?"
"It's not a big trouble..."
"oh……"
Aubrey was disappointed.
Tang En was very upset. This old bastard seemed to really want to see him get into trouble.
"Just killing a noble lord."
"So...what!?"
Aubrey was stunned: "'Just'? Killing a noble lord? 'That's all'?"
Tang En slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot, there are actually two."
"two!?"
Adrian next to him was also shocked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Although Purandar has real gods, the divine power does not interfere with royal politics and is independent of the royal power, so a country is still headed by the royal power.
Under this situation, the royal power needs to be maintained by the nobles with vested interests, so many provisions in the law are to safeguard the rights and interests of the nobles. In this environment, even if His Majesty Victor wants to touch the rights and interests of the nobles, it will cause Very sensitive issue.
However, the boy in front of him actually killed two noble lords in one go! ?
Well done!
Aubrey and Adrian looked at each other and became excited at the same time.
Aubrey hugged Tang En cheerfully, patted his shoulder and said, "Boy, you're in big trouble."
"That's right, big~trouble!"
Adrian nodded in agreement with a serious face, deliberately scaring Tang En - they thought Tang En looked very young and should be easy to deal with.
"So, let's make a deal."
Aubrey grinned: "We'll help you deal with the noble council. As a deal, how about you help us convince Elsa to stay?"
Seeing that Tang En was silent, Aubrey continued: "Of course, we won't treat you badly. What kind of chamber of commerce are you talking about? The two of us can make the decision and give you a special license to operate the chamber of commerce in Alexis. , recommend you to join the Business Alliance, and then prepare a store with the best location for you, how about it?"
Aubrey had a proud smile on his face. He was sure that no one could refuse his conditions, especially since this guy had caused big trouble.
Tang En shook his head: "Not very good."
Aubrey's smile faltered.
Tang En glanced sideways at Aubrey and Adrian: "My two dukes, you seem to have failed to understand the situation."
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't care about that damn noble council."
Tang En reached out and said, "Believe me, I can deal with them myself."
"But business license——"
"No, no, no, Lord Duke, you are not businessmen, so you don't understand what kind of creatures businessmen are."
Tang En waved his fingers and said with a smile: "Businessmen pursue profits, so the business license can be obtained by paying only money. As for any business alliance, I have no interest at all... Among the conditions you mentioned, the only one that interests me is It’s the best-located store.”
That's right, among those conditions, this is the only one that is really useful to Tang En.
Land, especially land in such a big city, must have been monopolized by those nobles. In this case, he couldn't buy it even if he had gold coins. He had to have connections, backing, and strength. OK.
However, even knowing this, Tang En still wanted to give it a try, what if they didn't know?
By the way, you can also pour a basin of cold water on them.
Negotiation is all about who can take the initiative.
Seeing that they had just smiled, Tang En poured the cold water on them: "However, things like shops can also be solved with gold coins... For a businessman, as long as gold coins can solve the problem, it is not question."
Aubrey, face as black as ink.
"Hmph! Brat! Are you too confident?"
Adrian said with a straight face: "This is Yalinks, not Ellington. No one will sell you face...here, if you want to buy the best store, you don't need gold coins. No With no identity or connections, you are not even qualified to enter!”
He still reacts quickly!
Aubrey breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, in Alex, the best-located shops have long been controlled by various noble families. Even an unknown lord with no identity or background like you wants to buy it." ?I wouldn’t sell it to you even if I had money.”
whispering sound!
Tang En curled his lips, these two old guys actually understood?
"That's right."
Aubrey and Adrien smiled again.
"So we can still trade."
"Then do as I said before..."
"No, you have no right to negotiate terms with me."
Tang En laughed so hard that he deserved to be beaten: "You must and can only listen to me in terms of the deal, because... Elsa listens to me."
This bastard...
Aubrey clenched his fists and finally restrained himself. Then he heard Tang En continue: "The only thing I can promise you is to try to persuade Elsa to accept you. I will stay with you these days and stay with you in the future." I can come back to see you if I have the chance, but it’s impossible for her to stay. Ellington needs her, and I need her too.”
"The transaction item you need to pay for is a store that satisfies me, and there is no need for anything else."
Aubrey took a deep breath and said with a smile: "In other words, you don't want to pay anything, but you just want us to pay real money with just your words?"
Tang En spread his hands with a very innocent face: "In this transaction, you are the party making demands, but I don't have any necessary demands, so of course I take the initiative. At worst, we will break up. I'll take Elsa and leave."
"Okay...Boy, you are very good...This is the first time in these years that I have seen a guy as shameless and honest as you!"
After so many years, Aubrey had almost forgotten the feeling of being manipulated emotionally. On this day, Aubrey finally recalled once again the fear of being emotionally controlled...
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I promise you."
"That's great."
"Adrien!?"
"calm down……"
Adrian patted Aubrey on the shoulder, pulled him to the side, and then whispered: "Let's promise him first."
"But--"
"But what? Are you stupid?"
Adrian's face was full of contempt: "After so many years, your IQ has not improved at all... Think about it, if Elsa accepts us and recognizes us, then in her heart, we are the family members Is it more important, or is that lord more important?”
"Of course it's us..." Aubrey was startled, "What do you mean..."
"When she approves of us, of course we will have the final say then. Who does that kid mean?"
Adrian smiled ferociously and said, "When the time comes, are you going to let us do whatever we want to do to flatten and round him?"
"I see!"
Aubrey suddenly realized: "It's really you! How could I forget this...Old guy, after so many years, you are still so insidious!"
"It's not that I'm sinister, it's that you have a simple mind and a low IQ."
"Are you making trouble again?"
Looking at Tang En, who was sitting there calmly drinking tea and in the mood to tease Ilia, Hilton was filled with admiration again.
The Lord is not only powerful, experienced in alchemy, and has impeccable personal charm, he is also so insightful in business that even Hilton has a vague understanding of it.
Alas, Lord Lord, everything is fine, but...
Seeing Tang En scratching Ilia's neck and ears, making Ilia laugh out loud, Hilton's eyes looked a little weird, and she remembered the rumors about Ellington a while ago.
Why is the lord's hobby so weird? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
