Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Manor living room.

The two sides had a disagreement, and Princess Changping stood up and angrily prepared to leave.

But Li Shiming still looked calm and said with a smile: "Princess Changping, why are you so angry? You should know that my dynasty will not trade with your dynasty."

"This is a matter of cooperation between me and you in my personal capacity. If you feel that it is possible to talk, we can discuss the profits."

"Of course, if you feel it is inappropriate, I will not force you to stay."

This clever move put Princess Changping in a dilemma.

This scene made Chu Ning secretly shake his head.

Li Shiming knew Princess Changping's thoughts in advance and had already prepared a plan to deal with it.

There will be no result if the talks continue.

Princess Changping raised her eyebrows while thinking, and said coldly: "You haven't even reported this to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why are you so sure?"

Li Shiming remained calm: "Because this is what I said!"

As General Tiance in charge of the 300,000-strong army of the Tang Dynasty, he has absolute say in the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has to give him some leeway!

Just one simple sentence, revealing immense confidence!

Even Princess Changping, who was always proud and arrogant, had to admit what Li Shiming said at this moment.

Anything in the Tang Dynasty would never succeed as long as Li Shiming disagreed.

Now Li Shiming obviously wants to spare the Emperor of Tang and discuss the deal with her alone.

In this case, this is not a trade between the two dynasties, but their private matter.

But once this matter is exposed, they will have to bear all the losses themselves.

Thinking of this, Princess Changping was unable to make a decision for a moment, and couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Although what you said makes some sense, I can't make the decision!"

Unexpectedly, Li Shiming smiled slightly, not surprised by this, turned to look at Chu Ning who had been silent, and said with a smile:

"Princess Changping can't make the decision, but I believe His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu can make the decision, right?"

At this time, as long as both of them agree, Princess Changping has no right to choose.

This is equivalent to undermining Princess Changping's right to speak in this matter.

Li Shiming is a man with a deep mind!

Chu Ning sighed in his heart, then shook his head: "Second Prince, you are putting me on the spot. Since I am here with Princess Changping, we must advance and retreat together."

This sentence was equivalent to helping Princess Changping.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Ning with gratitude.

Li Shiming was a little surprised. He pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you tell me what you think, King Chu?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "My plan is very simple. You don't need to buy from me. You just need to be responsible for safety and sales along the way."

"This way, you don't have the cost pressure and can give up some profits."

"As for the profits, I'll take 40% and you two will each take 30%. No one will suffer a loss. How do you think?"

Everyone wants to get more, doesn’t Chu Ning want to earn more money?

How could he let go of such a good opportunity so easily?

Anyway, both of them are interested in making this deal, and he believes that his conditions are acceptable to the other party.

Although the profit obtained by the other party is 10% less than originally planned, the lack of cost pressure can offset a layer of profit!

Li Shiming narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at Princess Changping and asked:

"I wonder what Princess Changping thinks?"

Princess Changping glanced at Chu Ning, thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "How can I get 30% of the profit just by being responsible for the safety of the goods within my territory? Why not do it?"

As long as Li Shiming doesn’t take the lion’s share, it’ll be fine!

And if they were only responsible for security, the Qin Dynasty could save itself a lot of trouble.

Although it is different from the original plan, there will not be much difference in terms of profit.

When Li Shiming saw Princess Changping agreed, he couldn't help but shook his head.

With three people in a two-on-one situation, he had no advantage at all.

He thought that if he could win over Chu Ning, his plan would succeed, but he did not expect that Chu Ning would become the master of the show.

This King of Chu is really better off meeting him in person than hearing about him. He cannot afford to suffer any loss!

"Well, since Princess Changping has agreed, it seems that I have no other choice."

Li Shiming chuckled: "This will benefit all three of us. Why don't we sign the document now?"

"Right on my mind!"

"Come here, please prepare your writing!"

At a command, the maid brought the four treasures of the study, and Li Shiming wrote nine documents himself.

Chu Ning took a look and confirmed that the conditions were the same as what he had just said. Then he signed his name and stamped the seal of the King of Chu!

Afterwards, each of the three held three documents, one of which was their own and the other two were from the other party.

Princess Changping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the task was completed.

Her real purpose of coming to the Han Dynasty this time, besides celebrating the birthday, was to close this deal.

With this business, her father would not force her to get married.

"Since the deal has been concluded, I would like to invite you to Tianxiang Tower!" The heroic Princess Changping made the invitation.

But Li Shiming shook his head and smiled, "No need. Someone in the city has already opened a bet on the contest between the King of Chu and the King of Chen. I want to go over and place a bet."

Chu Ning's eyes lit up: "Oh? Someone actually opened a bet. I wonder who the Second Prince is betting on to win?"

There is no one who can ask in person.

Even someone as calm as Li Shiming was confused by the question.

Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly reacted and laughed loudly: "Your Highness the King of Chu is really an interesting person."

"To be honest, I want to defeat King Chen and win."

Princess Changping raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "We just concluded the deal, why are you turning your elbow outward?"

Li Shiming laughed: "Business is business, betting is betting, these are two different things."

"When doing things, you can't let your emotions get in the way. The King of Chu is bound to lose this game, so why should I bet on him?"

"Besides, King Chen is the most talented person in the world, and I have a decent relationship with him. There seems to be nothing wrong with detaining him, right?"

"you……"

Princess Changping was furious and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Chu Ning interrupted and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess Changping. Everyone has the right to choose. We can't force him."

"However, since someone in the city has opened a market, I have no choice but to intervene in this matter!"

"I wonder if Princess Changping dares to gamble with me?"

Princess Changping's eyes lit up: "How do you bet?"

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "I will open the betting. Anyone who bets on King Chen to win will get two to one!"

"If you bet on this king to win, you will get ten times the payout!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Shiming and Princess Changping's faces changed drastically.

Ten to one, that's a huge odds.

And any discerning person can see that Prince Chen Cao Zhi has a great chance of winning!

"Are you...are you crazy?"

Princess Changping couldn't help but shouted, "With such odds, you will lose your entire family fortune!"

Chu Ning laughed, stood up and said with a smile: "I will go back and open the market now. If Her Royal Highness the Princess trusts me, then you can place your bet without any worries!"

Having said that, he stood up and left.

But when he reached the door, he turned around and smiled at the two of them: "You two, remember to spread the news~"
