Chapter 2371 Bought 2 guan.
Zheng Shaohong finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Shen's scolding.
He just thought that Prince Ji was going to rob it.
Prince Ji’s reputation is not very good, but fortunately he is still very good in the business world.
Just as he was waiting for the large sum of money from King Ji, Shi Tou beside him took out another gold bar and put it in his hand.
Zheng Shaohong couldn't help but curse in his heart, wondering if this little servant was playing tricks on him.
If I take it out piece by piece, how long will it take to get it all? One gold bar costs ten strings of cash, and ten of them only cost a hundred strings of cash.
This set of accessories of mine is worth at least a thousand strings of cash.
If you can get one or two thousand strings of cash in Chang'an City, it won't be a problem. If you meet a buyer who likes you, you can even sell it for two or three thousand strings of cash.
Zheng Shaohong was waiting for Prince Ji to continue scolding the servant who teased him, but after waiting for a long time, Prince Ji did not speak.
He looked up at Li Shen and saw Li Shen holding the jewelry and examining it carefully.
It was as if he hadn’t seen what just happened.
This made Zheng Shaohong unable to help but say:
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, someone once offered me this set of accessories for 3,000 guan. Today, I will sell it to Your Highness for 2,000 guan.
This is my way of showing my filial respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji and establishing a good relationship with him.
He hopes that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will take good care of him in the future."
Zheng Shaohong is worthy of being born into a wealthy family. He is very good at speaking and his words are flawless.
If it were any other time, Li Shen would indeed laugh out loud, then wave his hand and take the two thousand strings of cash.
But today was different. Li Shen raised his head with a surprised expression on his face:
"Two thousand strings of cash? Are you trying to defraud me?"
"Your Highness Prince Ji, how could I dare to deceive Your Highness Prince Ji? This set of jewelry comes from Persia.
I bought it from a Persian merchant at a high price.
I originally wanted to send it back to Chang'an City to sell, but unexpectedly a rebellion broke out there. I was afraid that the journey was too long and I would be intercepted by the rebels, so I kept it in the store.
If His Royal Highness Prince Ji didn't want it, I would never give it to you.
I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji will understand this."
Zheng Shaohong explained unjustly.
"Huh? Buying for a high price? Well, when you bought the jewelry from the Zhang brothers and sisters, you didn't pay a high price. The jewelry was worth a hundred strings of coins, but you only paid one string of coins.
According to this statement, your video is worth two thousand strings of cash, which means I only paid twenty strings of cash.
Since you wish to establish a good relationship with this king, then please sell it to me at cost price."
Li Shen only became cold and gloomy at this moment. Thinking that this bastard was so cruel, Li Shen had the urge to hit him.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I was indeed wrong to deceive the Zhang brothers and sisters, but I have already returned the stolen goods and paid the ransom, and the government has pardoned my crime.
I never lied to His Royal Highness Prince Ji about this set of accessories. I really bought them from a Persian merchant, and I paid a huge price for them."
As soon as Zheng Shaohong heard Li Shen's words, he immediately became anxious. He finally realized that Prince Ji didn't want to buy jewelry at all. He was clearly looking for trouble with him in order to purchase stolen goods.
Thinking about it now, Zheng Shaohong felt a little regretful. He was a member of the Zheng family, so how could Prince Ji sincerely do business with him?
They have a grudge against each other.
"Haha, I don't believe what you said. Seeing is believing. You admitted to deceiving the Zhang brothers and sisters yourself.
But I have no knowledge of the Persian merchant you mentioned. If you want to prove it, it is easy. Just bring the Persian merchant here and ask him.
If it is true, I can give you a good price, but if not, then you are deceiving me."
Li Shen sneered twice, looking at Zheng Shaohong with disdain. "Since you're serious, prove it."
"This..." Zheng Shaohong was speechless. Where could he find a Persian merchant? He did get this set of jewelry from a Persian merchant.
But that was a long time ago, and the Persian merchants must have returned to Persia.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, this is a bit difficult for me. The Persian merchant has already returned to Persia, thousands of miles away from here. How can I bring him back?"
Zheng Shaohong explained.
"Then I don't care. This is your own business. Since you have no evidence, this set of jewelry belongs to me. We'll settle the matter."
Li Shen said this with a wave of his hand, and Shi Tou beside him immediately stepped forward, closed the box and handed it to the servant behind him.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Shaohong became even more anxious. This was clearly robbery, not buying.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is unacceptable. Your Highness Prince Ji is a noble man, how can you do such a thing as robbery?
If the news gets back to Chang'an City, aren't you afraid of being impeached?
Besides, if this gets out among the merchants, it would be bad for His Royal Highness Prince Ji's reputation, right?"
As a member of the Zheng family, Zheng Shaohong spoke with more authority than others. The Zheng family was also quite powerful in the court. There were officials from the Zheng family in all departments, including officials from the three provinces.
If Prince Ji robbed it by force, how could the Zheng family let it go? They were worried that they couldn't find any evidence to hold Prince Ji accountable.
"Are you threatening me? Or are you forcing me to kill to silence the witness?" Li Shen's face instantly darkened, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.
"I dare not. I just hope that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will reconsider. His Royal Highness has always been the most prestigious in the business world and the most honest and law-abiding person.
What happened today is inconsistent with Prince Ji's past behavior. If word gets out to the business community, it might cause unrest among merchants."
Zheng Shaohong was neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed to be flattering, but in fact he was giving a reminder.
Prince Ji is a rule-setter in the business world. If even he breaks the rules, who will abide by them in the future?
Zheng Shaohong's words hit the nail on the head. Li Shen was not afraid of anything.
Impeach yourself? No problem. Bad reputation? No problem.
But Li Shen cared deeply about business matters. These were the various rules he had created after spending ten years constantly adjusting and improving them using various means.
Many of these were formulated after learning from various lessons.
Li Shen is not a business genius, and he knows nothing about law.
It was a set of rules that was developed bit by bit based on the national conditions and the existing laws of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be fully implemented as the Tang Dynasty version of commercial law.
No matter how Li Shen acted over the years, he never violated the rules he set.
“It seems that you are forcing me to kill you. If I kill you, no one will know what happened today.
Are you right? "
The murderous intent in Li Shen's eyes grew stronger, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Zheng Shaohong suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the notorious Prince Ji Li Shen.
He was a demon who dared to kill people at will, and even dared to kill the imperial officials without reporting to them. He was just a businessman.
You can take your life by accusing him of any crime.
He felt that he had been a little abrupt.
