Chapter 508: Being too clever
What's the matter?
Prince Yu was stunned when asked this question.
Cooperation with Nanyuan is such a big deal, doesn't he take it to heart?
Gu Shuo sat down and poured a cup of tea for Prince Yu: "When does Prince Yu plan to leave Kyoto?"
Prince Yu was confused again, not understanding what he meant. He raised his hand and squeezed the teacup: "Should... should be within the next two days."
"Then we should be able to catch up with Xiyan. It seems that the Crown Prince of Xiyan has also left the city in the past few days."
"Yes." Prince Yu took a sip of tea and secretly observed Gu Shuo's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any abnormality, he felt a little anxious and asked tentatively, "Boss Gu, what are your thoughts on the voice contract with Nan Yuan?"
"Consider it? Didn't Prince Yu get the news?" Gu Shuo asked.
"What news?"
"After receiving the message from Prince Yu, I immediately sent someone to the post station to report the cancellation of the cooperation with Nanyuan."
Prince Yu was immediately stunned: "I haven't received the news, cancel the cooperation? If Boss Gu is not satisfied with the price proposed by the emperor, we can discuss it."
"There is nothing to discuss. We at Beili Aquatic Products are buying at a price of six copper coins per pound. It's not impossible to get it. I, Gu, offered twenty copper coins to buy Nanyuan Aquatic Products. You still want to raise the price. I, Gu, really am... Haha, let's not talk about it. If your country thinks Nanyuan Aquatic Products can raise the price, then find another partner." Gu Shuo smiled sarcastically and didn't care.
Prince Yu was completely anxious: "If Boss Gu really can't do it, we can sign the contract according to the original price."
"No, the reason I can offer such a high price is, first, because Ye Qianning was born in Nanyuan, and her mother saved my life. Second, Ye Qianning said that the seafood of Nanyuan is delicious. I have never eaten seafood from Nanyuan, so I believe in the little girl and am willing to help Nanyuan open up sales channels. It's just... Nanyuan seems to have misunderstood." Gu Shuo couldn't help laughing at the end.
Prince Yu looked very unhappy. He was also very curious about why the prince could pay such a high price to acquire Nanyuan Aquatic Products, and why he was too nice to Miss Xiang.
It turns out there is another layer of connection. Miss Xiang's mother is a native of Nanyuan. Her life-saving grace is as great as the sky, so she reached out to help Nanyuan.
This time, the emperor really guessed wrongly and did the wrong thing.
"Ye Qianning's mother not only saved Gu's life, but also saved the lives of the young master of the Zhan family and Minister Qian. The little girl missed her hometown, so she came up with this business."
Prince Yu finally understood. No wonder Minister Qian promised to sell coal to Nanyuan at a low price in winter. Ye Qianning's mother was really capable...
No wonder he cares so much about Miss Xiang!
"Boss Gu, this business is very important to us in Nanyuan. Do you think there is any way to save it?"
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I, Gu Shuo, hate the kind of people who try to raise the price when it's clearly not worth it. I, Gu Shuo, know exactly why Emperor Nanyuan wants to raise the price. He simply thinks my price is too high and concludes that Nanyuan's aquatic products have some value. Otherwise, who would buy them for twenty copper coins a pound, right?"
Prince Yu opened his mouth but didn't say a word, because Boss Gu was right. That's what the emperor said in the letter. Who would be willing to do a business that loses money?
Maybe they saw some benefits in Nanyuan, so they raised the price to see their reaction.
