The waste prince is so fierce

"Futures?" Xiao Tingting asked puzzledly.

“Yes, futures.”

Li Quan explained, “To put it simply, we sign a contract with the He family now, agreeing to deliver a certain amount of pearl soap at a certain price at a certain time in the future.

In this way, we can take advantage of the He family’s expectations of the market to make more profits.”

After listening to this, Xiao Tingting still didn't quite understand, but she roughly understood Li Quan's plan.

She thought to herself, this Mr. Li is truly a remarkable man, not only is he extremely intelligent, but he is also extremely courageous. No wonder he has been able to accomplish such a great career.

"In fact, even if I ask the He family to buy two hundred thousand taels of soap at the price of two guan per piece, they probably won't refuse."

Li Quan smiled and continued, "But after they place the order, I will let Zeng's sell the soap at a cheaper price, so..."

"The He family is about to cry! All their business will be taken away by the Zeng family, and because they paid so much money in advance, they will lose a lot of money!"

Xiao Tingting finally understood Li Quan's plan.

“Yes, this is the power of futures.”

Li Quan nodded, "If the He family really signs the contract, they will be in trouble!"

Think about it, the He family has to pay 200,000 taels for these 100,000 bars of soap. Even if they give a 95% discount, it will still be 190,000 taels.

How much money they can get back at that time will depend on He Xun's ability.

After hearing what Li Quan said, Xiao Tingting felt a chill down her spine.

She didn't expect that Li Quan's few words could determine the He family's status in Wuwei County.

Li Quan didn't care what Xiao Tingting thought, and continued, "Please pay more attention to Miss Zeng and tell me about her situation later."

"Your Highness, are you interested in Miss Zeng?" Xiao Tingting asked curiously.

Li Quan rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking! I like her because she is good at business.

As long as I train her well, I can leave all the business matters to her in the future. She is an important helper in building my business empire."

"Oh, I understand." Xiao Tingting nodded.

The next day, Xiao Tingting sent someone to deliver the message to Liao Yun, the head manager of the He family.

On the third day, when Liao Yun heard this, he immediately went to find the head of the family, He Xun.

When He Xun heard the news, his face turned ugly.

He wondered what Li Quan meant by suddenly signing such a large order.

He Xun was not worried about the price increase. What puzzled him was why Li Quan asked them to pay a deposit of 100,000 bars of soap at once.

You know, the He family only has so much liquid capital. If they invest it all at once and something goes wrong, then everything will be over.

Liao Yun was also confused, but he still smiled and said to He Xun: "Master, this is not a bad thing. This pearl soap is selling so well now, even if it is two guan per piece, we can still make a lot of money."

He Xun sighed. He knew Liao Yun was right, but now he was more worried about Li Quan's true intentions.

On Liao Yun's side, he naturally spoke well of Li Quan.

"I think Mr. Li probably didn't expect pearl soap to sell so well, so he wanted to make more money before the price drops." Liao Yun explained to He Xun.

“He asked us to place an order for 100,000 bars of pearl soap, but the deposit was only 100,000 taels.

Although 100,000 taels is a lot, we made 10,000 taels from pearl soap yesterday, so 100,000 taels is only nine days’ profit!” Liao Yun did the math again for He Xun.

"By the way, I heard today that Zeng Wenjing, the eldest daughter of the Zeng family, went to see Li Quan yesterday. I don't know what they talked about." Liao Yun added.

He Xun was still hesitating, but when he heard that Zeng Wenjing was going to see Li Quan, he immediately made up his mind.

"Quick, send someone to tell Mr. Li that our He's Store has accepted this order!"

He Xun said, "I can't let the Zeng family take away our business!"

He Xun knew the current situation of the Zeng family, and Zeng Wenjing had no way out.

So when he heard Zeng Wenjing going to find Li Quan, he decided not to hesitate any longer.

"I'll send half of the deposit to Mr. Li tomorrow, and you can tell him to speed up production.

If possible, hire more workers. "He Xun said to Liao Yun, "This matter is very important, you must do it yourself."

Thinking that two hundred thousand taels was a large sum of money for the He family, He Xun specifically gave Liao Yun some instructions.

Liao Yun agreed and went out to do his work. But He Xun didn't know that his decision would lead the He family to the abyss...

As for Li Quan, since he started working with Zeng Wenjing, he asked Xiao Laosan to recruit more workers to produce pearl soap.

Now he has to supply both the He family and the Zeng family at the same time, so he has to increase production.

Fortunately, the house he bought was large, and even after hiring some people it was still not even half full.

However, if the production is expanded further, this soap shop may not be able to supply enough.

But there are already enough workers, and Li Quan has no plans to expand further.

After all, pearl soap has not yet been rolled out throughout Dakang.

Three days later, Li Quan was waiting in the soap shop for Zeng Wenjing to discuss plans to deal with the He family.

But Zeng Wenjing still hadn't arrived after the agreed time. Li Quan began to worry if something had happened to the Zeng family.

Just then, Xiao Tingting hurried into the study.

"Your Highness, something happened!" Xiao Tingting said.

"What happened to Zeng Wenjing?" Li Quan asked.

"Miss Zeng was taken away by the people from Ping An Casino!" Xiao Tingting said, "She sent someone to pass on the message."

Li Quan frowned when he heard the name Ping'an Casino.

He knew that Zeng Wenjing was not the kind of person who would be involved with a gambling house, so there must be some misunderstanding or hidden secret.

Zeng Wenjing was actually taken away by the people from Ping An Casino, which made Li Quan begin to doubt his own judgment.

When Xiao Tingting saw Li Quan like this, she knew that he was confused, so she quickly called in the maid who was waiting outside the Zeng family.

As soon as the maid saw Li Quan, she told him the whole story of the Zeng family.

After hearing this, Li Quan finally felt relieved.

Zeng Wenjing is an important person he wants to use to deal with the He family, and also his right-hand man in future business.

If she really is a gambler, then Li Quan has really misjudged her.

Li Quan knew very well that he could not believe a single word the gambler said.

Now we know the whole story. It turns out that Zeng Wenjing was taken away by the gambling house because she had to pay off her brother Zeng Wenjie's debts.

Not only did Li Quan not look down on Zeng Wenjing, but he admired her very much.

What he admired about Zeng Wenjing was not that she wanted to pay off her brother's debt, but that she could make the smartest choice in such a short time.

Li Quan knew that everything, including having the maid come to see him, was arranged in advance by Zeng Wenjing.

She had already guessed her identity.

"Since you are at Ping An Casino, I'll go there."

After saying that, Li Quan stood up.

When Xiao Tingting heard that Li Quan was going to Ping An Casino, she quickly advised him: "Sir, no! Ping An Casino is not a good place. I heard that the people there are very fierce. If you lose money and can't pay it back, your arms and legs will be broken."
