Chapter 230: Too Young, Too Simple
Hearing the news that Don had eliminated the Assassins, Elsa looked very discouraged and said to her chagrin, "If I had given me a little more time, I would have been able to catch them!" β
"I believe in you."
Don's trust soothed the self-blame in the girl's heart a lot, and her favorability towards Don was greatly improved.
"After all, you're still young, and you'll be fine in the future."
Elsa's opinion of Don decreases.
Where am I small!
Elsa wanted to yell at Don and puff out her chest to show him how a majestic girl could become an adult, but the thought of Fiona made Elsa's face darken, and when she thought of Princess Arelia, who was completely comparable to Fiona, Elsa's face was even worse.
Obviously, she is about the same size as Ellington and the other girls, but why is Fiona's figure so good? It's completely crushing level! What a foul!
After separating from Elsa, Don returned to the Lord's Mansion.
"Solved? So fast? β
Fiona was still wondering what trap to lay to lure them in, but she didn't expect Don to be so efficient.
"Why don't you wait for them to wreak havoc in the shadows?"
Don shrugged and snapped his fingers, "Come out." β
Van Cleef appeared silently from the side.
Fiona was stunned: "Isn't he one of those five?" β
"Not anymore."
"Now his life belongs to Ellington," Donn said. β
"Really?"
Seeing the wry smile on Van Cleef's face, Fiona confirmed her guess.
"What are you going to do with him?"
"I have a great idea."
The smile on Don's face was very bright: "You say." Would the Kadir family have guessed that his men would be caught alive by me? β
"Probably not...... You meanβ"
Fiona looked incredulous: "Do you want to knock on the Kadir family's bamboo pole again!?" β
"That's a good excuse, isn't it?"
Don spread his hands: "We need to master the magic crystal mine, the Kadir family holds the vast majority of the magic crystal mine of the Illuth Empire, and Charles sent someone to assassinate me." Just enough to be my bargaining chips. β
Oh my God, it's true!
Fiona didn't know what to say, as a little baron, she dared to blackmail the Kadir family continuously, which was no longer something that could be described as audacious!
But perhaps this is also because of the self-confidence brought about by his strong personal strength.
Fiona thought for a moment and said, "But since he dares to send someone to assassinate you, it means that he doesn't care about potential threats at all." β
"Fiona, you're so confused."
Donn waved his finger. A "Too young, too simple" expression: "The reason why chips are chips is because they haven't been used yet, and Charles doesn't care if I threaten him with Van Cleef." I can't use just one assassination to question them 'directly' and demand compensation from them. β
"Then what do you mean ......"
"I don't care, I can't use it, but it doesn't mean that His Majesty Victor can't use it."
Don whistled: "You should also know how entangled His Majesty Victor is in order to collect evidence of the rebellion of the aristocratic faction, right?" Victor has always wanted to send a dismount to the nobles. But there is no reason. So guess what would have happened if I gave this excuse to His Majesty Victor? β
Fiona subconsciously said: "Because you are a nobleman, His Majesty Victor will use the excuse of protecting the rights and interests of the nobles to weaken the power of the Kadir family, and this excuse cannot even be opposed by the noble council. β
"That's right!"
Don snapped his fingers, applauding Fiona's reaction.
"In other words, you are really His Majesty Victorβ"
Fiona suddenly covered her mouth.
There are things that can be known, but not spoken.
Don shrugged: "Even if I deny it, it's useless. So whatever you may guess, one thing is for sure. At present, my interests and those of His Majesty Victor are indeed in the same direction. β
"And when are you going to tell His Majesty Victor about this?"
"Fiona, you're stupid again."
Don smiled: "You see, we can all see it, so that old monster of the Kadir family can't see it?" β
"Of course it will ......"
"Then why don't we just go to him? If this bargaining chip is handed over to His Majesty Victor, although we can get the friendship of the royal faction, we will not have any ready-made benefits, and it is more practical to get a mine directly than the promise of the royal faction. β
"But," Fiona's mind was clouded, "didn't you just say that you can't use this chip directly......"
"I'm explaining to you the reasons why this bargaining chip is effective for the Kadir family," Don looked at Fiona very sympathetically, it was really not easy for him to crush her in IQ, "If you want to maximize the benefits, of course, you have two daughters married." β
"One daughter and two marriages!?"
Fiona looked incredulous: "Aren't you afraid that Grand Duke Kadir will turn his face directly with you after learning the truth?" β
"I've got everything, I don't care if he turns his face."
Tang En said disdainfully: "Whatever you say is false, and things are real when you get them." β
Once again, Fiona realizes Donn's unfathomable lower limit - the promise is a fart in his eyes!
"But ......"
Fiona frowned suddenly: "You have just returned from Alinkes, if you appear in Alinks again in a short period of time, I am afraid that the secret of the teleportation array will be exposed." β
Teleportation Array!?
Van Cleve, who was silent next to him, suddenly widened his eyes, that kind of lost thing, this man actually mastered it!?
"No, it won't."
Tang En said briskly: "At most, if I can teleport, they won't think about it." β
"This ...... Now that you have an idea, do what you want me to do? β
Tang En gave a thumbs up: "Of course, we are ready to receive the magic crystal mine." β
Fiona is angry and funny, Donn's self-confidence is really strong, obviously he hasn't started to negotiate yet, but it seems that the mine has already been obtained.
Tang En's action efficiency is extremely fast, saying that if he wants to extort money today, he will definitely not wait until tomorrow, after all, as time goes by, the influence of the combine harvester is gradually expanding, and there are more and more purchase intentions, and the more the magic crystal is valued, the lower the probability that Tang En wants to buy the magic crystal mine at a low price.
So, time is money, my friend.
With a cup of tea, he took Van Cleef from Ellington to Alink.
After experiencing the powerful effect of the teleportation array, Van Cleef was completely speechless, convinced, he was really convinced, and the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, Van Cleef had already made up his mind to follow Don - of course, even if he didn't make up his mind, his life would already be Donn's.
"Your Excellency?"
Hilton was taking a new batch of goods in the basement, but he didn't expect Don to show up, and he was in a hurry for a while.
"Are you here to inspect?"
"How's it going?"
Hilton said a little embarrassed: "In the more than half a month since you left, our sales have risen steadily, and our reputation in Alinkes has also increased, which was originally an excellent start, but recently...... As you know, the business alliance began to jointly block us, although it did not directly affect our sales, but it invisibly discouraged consumers from buying...... οΌ
"Business Alliance......
Tang En pouted: "Forget it, leave them alone, we just sell ours, those people love to buy it or not." β
Hilton smiled bitterly, if you do business like Donn, you estimate how much you will lose.
"Hilton, don't think I'm joking."
Tang En said: "I'm serious, tomorrow you will let the words out, our Datang Chamber of Commerce's things, love to buy or not!" β
Hilton was stunned: "Yes." β
"Remember, our main focus is high-end brands, and aristocratic consumers have a problem, like to be cheap, the more accustomed to them, the more unhappy they are, the more they can't get it, the more they cry and chase after it, so ah, aristocratic consumers need to be trained well, you just treat them as masochists."
Hilton was dumbfounded, although Don had occasionally said some thought-provoking business and philosophical truths before, but this was the first time he had heard of such a theory.
It's so ...... That's right, there is wood!
Thinking back to what he had experienced before, Hilton couldn't help but think deeply, it was really as Tang En said, if it wasn't for the inspiration when it opened, and the means of restricting the purchase of numbers, the name of the Datang Chamber of Commerce would not have spread so quickly in the aristocratic circle, at that time, grabbing an air conditioner of the Datang Chamber of Commerce would become the capital for them to brag to each other, but later, with the increase in shipments, no one would have bragged about the air conditioner anymore, but began to brag about whose air conditioner was more upscale......
The lord has a clear understanding of the consumption psychology of the nobility!
Hilton said with great admiration: "Lord Lord, you are worthy of being a business wizard, I think those people in the Business Alliance will definitely bow down if they hear your words." β
"You just."
Tang En smiled: "With the face of those people, it is estimated that they will not hear it." β
"That's just as well."
"Forget it, don't bother you, arrange a carriage for us, I'm going to the Kadir family."
"The Kadir family? Again...... Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, I'll arrange it. β
Hilton hurried away.
Don nodded with satisfaction, he liked a smart person like Hilton, who didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, and was loyal and reliable, and he could leave many things to her to do.
Soon Donn and Van Cleef were in a carriage and headed for the inner city.
The entrance to the garden area was unexpectedly smooth, and the means that Don had prepared were useless - the guard had actually seen Donn before, and knew that he was the guest of honor of the Grand Duke of Aubery, so he let him go without embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
