The waste prince is so fierce

After finishing the preparations for rescuing Xiao Changsheng, Li Quan had been busy for the whole morning. Just as he drank a glass of water and wanted to take a break, Zeng Wenjing came to the door.

In the soap shop, Zeng Wenjing quietly waited for Li Quan to arrive. After a while, Li Quan hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Your Highness..." Zeng Wenjing was about to stand up and salute when she was interrupted by Li Quan.

"Time is tight now, just tell me if you have something to say," he urged.

"Okay." Zeng Wenjing nodded. "This is the title deed to half of the Zeng family's business. I have brought it with me. You just need to go and handle the formalities."

Li Quan looked at the box in Zeng Wenjing's hand and raised his eyebrows, "Have you decided?"

He understood that this meant Zeng Wenjing was drawing a line between herself and the Zeng family.

"Yes." Zeng Wenjing nodded firmly.

"Okay then, I'll keep these house deeds and land titles with you," said Li Quan.

"Your Highness, these businesses are..." Zeng Wenjing was a little confused.

"These businesses are my gift to you for joining the Li's Chamber of Commerce."

Li Quan explained, "But remember to change the names of these businesses to Li's Chamber of Commerce today. I have asked Tingting to prepare enough pearl soap for you to sell in the stores of Li's Chamber of Commerce."

Originally, Li Quan planned to cooperate with the Zeng family, but the incident that happened in the Zeng family made him change his plans.

Now that Zeng Wenjing has left the Zeng family, it is a good thing for him.

In this way, he could easily win over Zeng Wenjing to work for him.

After hearing Li Quan's plan, Zeng Wenjing had nothing to say.

Now that she has left the Zeng family, she has nowhere to go.

Li Quan was willing to hand over the Zeng family's business to her, and of course she was happy to accept it.

"Um, are we still selling pearl soap for one tael?"

Speaking of pearl soap, Zeng Wenjing asked.

"no!"

Li Quan directly denied it, "One tael of silver is the price given to the Zeng family. Now the business is ours, so of course we can't sell it for one tael of silver anymore."

"Starting tomorrow, the pearl soap in the Li's Chamber of Commerce store will be sold at 500 coins a piece!"

"Ah? Five hundred wen?"

Zeng Wenjing was stunned when she heard this.

"Yes, that's five hundred wen."

Li Quan explained, "The He family has made tens of thousands of taels of silver from pearl soap these days. It's time to let them bleed a little."

Zeng Wenjing couldn't help but complain in her heart: You made tens of thousands of taels? Didn't it all go into your pocket? The He family is in trouble this time.

However, she could only think about these words in her heart and dared not say them out loud.

"Your Highness, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Although your actions have caused the He family to suffer a huge loss, we have also made less money."

Zeng Wenjing felt that if Li Quan managed the pearl soap well, he should be able to make more money.

Li Quan listened and nodded.

“That’s right, my trick can cause great damage to the He family in a short period of time, but our Li Chamber of Commerce will indeed make less money.

But I don’t care about any of that.”

Seeing Li Quan's indifferent look, Zeng Wenjing suddenly understood something.

"Does our Li's Chamber of Commerce have other things that can make money besides pearl soap?"

Li Quan smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly.

"Ms. Zeng, you only need to take care of the sales of pearl soap, and don't worry about anything else."

When Zeng Wenjing heard this, she understood that Li Quan did have other ways to make money.

"Ok, I see."

After thinking it through, Zeng Wenjing nodded in agreement.

……

Early the next morning, the He family's shop was crowded with people, all coming to grab the pearl soap.

The reputation of pearl soap spread from one person to another, and merchants from several nearby counties all came to Wuwei County. Even the nobles of the Huang tribe sent people to buy it.

The pearl soap, which was originally priced at ten taels per piece, was suddenly raised to twenty taels!

But after being popular for a few days, the price of pearl soap dropped back to ten taels. Despite this, it was still in short supply.

Every morning at dawn, many people would wait in front of the He family shop, scrambling to buy the limited number of fifty pearl soaps.

"Old Song, didn't you buy a bar of pearl soap yesterday? Why are you trying to grab it again today?"

In the crowd, a man with a big belly asked his friends around him curiously.

"Oh, don't mention it. My wife used pearl soap to take a bath last night, and her skin became smooth and delicate. Now she asked me to buy another one early in the morning! It really makes it impossible for me to sleep well. If I can't buy it, she said I will sleep on the floor tonight!"

"Haha, you're here to queue too?"

"My……"

"To be honest, ever since Miss Chunyao from Yihongyuan bought this pearl soap, now when I go to places like that to please the girls, I have to bring this thing with me."

When Lao Song’s friend said this, Lao Song smiled with an expression that said “I understand”.

While there were crowds of people here, Li Quan and Zeng Wenjing were watching leisurely in the teahouse opposite.

"You said there will be something good to watch soon?" Li Quan asked, knocking on the table.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. You will understand soon." Zeng Wenjing said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the He family's shop opened.

Pearl soap is selling like hot cakes these days, and Song Houer has even become the shopkeeper.

"Everyone, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"

"Today the store is still selling fifty pieces of pearl soap. Each person can only buy one piece, ten taels of silver per piece, first come first served!"

As soon as Song Hou'er came out, everyone lined up.

In a short while, all fifty bars of pearl soap were sold out.

Seeing that there were still twenty or thirty people queuing up behind him, Song Houer was very happy.

"Sorry everyone, we are out of pearl soap today."

"You can go to other He's stores, or come back tomorrow!"

Hearing that the pearl soap was sold out again, those who didn’t buy it were angry.

"How do you do business? You only make 50 yuan a day. I've been waiting in line for three days and still can't buy anything!"

"Me too. I've been waiting in line for two days, but every time it's almost my turn, I'm gone. What on earth do you mean by that? If you don't explain it clearly today, I won't leave!"

At this moment, a voice said in the crowd: "Don't be fooled, I know there is another place that sells pearl soap, and it is better than theirs, only 500 coins a piece, follow me!"

"Five hundred coins a piece? Are you kidding me?" someone said in disbelief.

"Believe it or not, just follow me and you'll know. If you're too late, it will be gone!"

After saying that, the man walked towards the Li Chamber of Commerce.

Those who didn't buy anything followed suit with half belief and half doubt.

Li Quan looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.

"You are so cruel. You snatched customers right in front of the He family."

……

The Zeng family business has been able to develop so rapidly in recent years, all thanks to Zeng Wenjing's advice behind the scenes.

Li Quan knew at a glance that the person just now was arranged by Zeng Wenjing.

Zeng Wenjing listened to what Li Quan said without any expression on her face.

"Business is like a battlefield. If you are too kind to your enemy, you will be too harsh on yourself."

"The He family has relied on the support of the chief historian to bully other merchants in Wuwei County over the years. Now that Your Highness has taken action, I think the He family is almost finished."
