The most romantic little emperor

However, he did not expect that the boss behind this auction house was actually the prince, and the prince was also his savior. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

She quickly explained, "Your Highness, this is what happened. This time, I came to the capital with my father to visit relatives. On the way, we passed by the disaster area in Hedong. We saw with our own eyes that many victims had no food to eat and many people starved to death. They were so pitiful."

"We rescued many refugees along the way, but it was just a drop in the bucket and could not help."

"I just heard Shopkeeper Zhu say on the stage that all the money raised from this auction will be used to help the people in the disaster area. I want to contribute something to the people in the disaster area, so I participated in the auction. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Qin Hao was deeply moved after hearing this and praised: "Miss Qian is kind-hearted. Although she is a girl, she is very righteous. I would like to thank you for your help on behalf of the people in the disaster area."

Zhu Qiqi was also moved by Qian Duoduo's righteous act, and immediately took a liking to her. She immediately offered a divine assist and praised her, "Miss Duoduo, my name is Zhu Qiqi. Since we are so destined to meet, and both of our names are repeated characters, why don't we just become sworn sisters? What do you think?"

Qian Duoduo was unmoved when she heard Zhu Qiqi say this. She thought to herself that the women around the prince must be either royal relatives or daughters of wealthy families. She quickly waved her hand and refused, "Sister Zhu, I appreciate your kindness, but I am of humble status and cannot afford to marry you. Please forgive me!"

When Qin Hao heard Qian Duoduo's refusal, he thought to himself that this girl did not seek to curry favor with the powerful, had a dignified and polite character, and must have had a good upbringing. He couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards her.

Zhu Qiqi was rejected without any displeasure. She smiled slyly and said, "What humble status, what high-class, this princess doesn't care about anything, and you shouldn't care too much about it either. Since you called me sister just now, then I will definitely be your sister, so don't regret it!"

When Qian Duoduo heard Zhu Qiqi call herself a princess, he quickly looked at Qin Hao, wanting to seek help.

How could Qin Hao not know what she was thinking? He laughed and said, "Miss Qian, since Princess Qiqi and you hit it off right away, you should not refuse. I will make the decision for you."

"You will be good sisters from now on, so you must take good care of each other!"

Qian Duoduo realized that the situation was hopeless, so she accepted it calmly and started calling Zhu Qiqi "sister" all the time, which made Zhu Qiqi very happy.

The three of them finished their greetings.

Qin Hao asked, "Miss Duoduo, why were you able to hold the position at the last minute every time you bid? Do you have auction experience before, or do you have some unknown ability?"

Facing the prince's questioning, Qian Duoduo hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, I don't have any unknown abilities, nor do I have any auction experience. To be honest, this is my first time to experience such a large-scale auction."

"If I really have any ability, it's that I'm more sensitive to business matters. This is something I've accumulated since I was a child."

Qin Hao immediately became interested and encouraged, "Go on."

"Your Highness, my family has been engaged in business for generations. I have been sensitive to numbers since I was very young. I can say that I have a photographic memory. Later, my father discovered this talent of mine and asked me to learn business from my uncles and grandfathers."

"Your Highness, although I am only eighteen years old, I have been doing business for more than ten years. Over the years, with the hard work of all our family members, our Qian family has gone from being the eighth richest in Suzhou to the richest one."

Qin Hao said with emotion: "You are really the modern female Zhuge Liang! So amazing!"

"Female Zhuge? Who is Zhuge?" Qian Duoduo asked puzzledly.

"Let me tell you this! Zhuge doesn't refer to a specific person, it's a synonym for wisdom, meaning that you have a good business sense."

"Actually, it's nothing. People say that women are virtuous if they don't have any talent. I don't think so. I just prefer doing business, that's all."

"Miss Duoduo, I have something I want to ask you for help with. Are you willing to help me?"

"Your Highness, just give me your orders. I will definitely help you as long as I can. Besides, you are my savior! Isn't it natural for me to help you?"

Qin Hao directly told her about the final auction of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals and asked for her opinion on how to get a higher price.

Qian Duoduo asked, "Your Highness, do you want to auction these twelve bronze animal heads together?"

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"Your Highness, I think it's not right. It's better to auction them separately. Considering the urgent need for money for disaster relief, we can take out one and auction only the eleven bronze animal heads. This way we can maximize the profits. Haven't you heard that incompleteness is beauty?"

"In fact, there should be no difference in the total price of the eleven bronze animal heads and the twelve bronze animal heads this time. The one that was taken out is the most valuable. When we auction the remaining bronze animal head next time, we may be able to get a higher price than these eleven bronze animal heads."

Qian Duoduo's idea coincided with his. Qin Hao nodded in approval and asked, "Which bronze animal head statue do you think should be kept?"

"I think a bronze dragon head statue is more appropriate because the dragon is a symbol of imperial power and not something that ordinary people possess, so it is naturally the most valuable."

"To tell you the truth, I have already taken out the bronze dragon head statue and I don't plan to auction it. What should I do?"

Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said slowly: "Then take down the bronze statue of the tiger head. It won't affect the result of this auction."

Qin Hao clapped his hands and laughed, "Miss Duoduo is really smart. Okay, I'll do as you say."

Qian Duoduo was so excited that he couldn't express it in words, "Your Highness, this..."

"Don't worry, I believe in you." Qin Hao said confidently.

After a while, the first nine rare treasures had been auctioned off, and Zhu Yongkang and Li Youcai hurried to the prince.

Qin Hao looked at the two and said directly, "The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals will be auctioned next. I have already taken the bronze statue of the dragon head. You will take down the bronze statue of the tiger head later. The bronze statue of the tiger head will not be auctioned this time."

Zhu Yongkang asked anxiously: "Your Highness, why is this happening?"

"Don't ask so many questions. You will know it later. Now you two must strictly follow my orders."

Qin Hao continued to make arrangements, "This is Miss Qian Duoduo, the daughter of the Qian family, the richest family in Suzhou, Jiangnan. She is ours now. She will cooperate with you in the bidding later. You should act according to the situation and don't let your own people take pictures of her, otherwise it will not be beautiful."
