Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Shameless, absolutely shameless!"

Zhuge Facai pointed at the two men and loudly accused them of their behavior.

But Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan just drank their tea calmly. After he finished his performance, Qin Ming spoke:

"If we talk about shamelessness, the one who steals the skills is more shameless, right?"

Zhuge Facai gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Ming angrily.

Qin Ming's tactics made his promise to the Chamber of Commerce come to nothing.

Now that he can't make money, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely hold him responsible.

When he thought about this, his head was overwhelmed.

He simply stopped pretending and roared angrily:

"So what if I stole it?"

"Do you really think such a good thing can be kept secret?"

"I'm telling you, isn't it just a new trick? If you have the guts, just cover it up! Let's see who gets it in a few days!?"

Having said that, he simply laid his cards on the table.

Anyway, Qin Ming can't defend himself.

There is a saying that goes, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it."

Besides, he is a thief with strong strength!

The workshop behind it will soon be able to reach the same level as Qin Ming regardless of the investment!

"It turns out that people who are shameless are invincible."

Qin Ming sighed, then stood up and continued to sarcastically say:

"Zhuge Facai, with your limited skills, you should leave Lingnan as soon as possible. You are not worthy to fight us."

"From what I can see, you, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, have only risen to prominence through flattery. I can't see a single ounce of real ability!"

"What did you say!?"

The identity that Zhuge Facai is most proud of in his life is that he is the head of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

This identity allowed him to enjoy countless benefits.

It's not just some resources, but also the sense of superiority that comes from being the best.

But Qin Ming doubted his own strength today! ?

This made him extremely angry!

"Your Highness, do you want to have some fun?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Facai looked at Qin Ming coldly.

Originally, out of consideration for the other party's identity, although Zhuge Fa Cai would show off sometimes, he always aimed to resolve the matter smoothly.

There wasn't a lot of emotion involved.

It’s different now. He wants to attack Qin Ming without any scruples!

But at this moment, Qin Ming smiled and added fuel to the fire:

"King of the Basics? Are you worthy?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Ming took Fang Qingyuan away slowly.

Zhuge Facai was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth and rushed towards the residence in anger.

"You guys, go investigate the latest situation in the military camp!"

Zhuge Facai's order was issued, and several of his men began to look for opportunities to search the military camp for changes as if they were familiar with the situation.

Soon, the information about the tires was brought to Zhuge Facai the next day.

"Master, this is it!"

The tires look elastic and have treads on them.

Zhuge Facai could even imagine how strong the grip of this thing would be.

"It's strange that they can even make something like this...!"

He muttered angrily.

Even as an enemy, he had to admit Qin Ming's talent.

"Master, this is made of rubber. If we want to buy it, we need to purchase it from Lingnan. However, due to the emergence of tires recently, the price of rubber has been very high. We... may not be able to afford it."

Zhuge Facai's face turned ugly after hearing his subordinates' words.

"Why is everyone against me?!"

He clenched his fists in anger and pounded the table.

Several men in front of him trembled, waiting for his decision.

"Don't buy it yet. Let me think about it."

Zhuge Facai didn't buy it in the end.

He is a businessman who likes to make a small investment for a big return and knows the consequences of taking over at a high price.

But on the next day, when the Nanman caravan arrived.

When Zhuge Fa Cai went to the market again, he found that the prices had changed again!

"Three taels of silver per pound? Why don't you just go and rob it?!"

Rubber itself is not valuable, and its original price was only more than 30 cents per pound.

The reason why it can be sold at this price is not because the rubber is really worth thirty cents.

But the cost of transporting this thing is not low, so the price naturally goes up.

However, no one bought it before, so it was priced but not sold.

After tires appeared, demand began to increase.

The transportation costs are high, and the military camps and local chambers of commerce are scrambling for it.

It is understandable that the price soared directly to three taels of silver.

The southern barbarians are also shameless. Seeing that everyone needs it, they raise the price crazily.

Fortunately, Qin Ming and Wan Shu have already stocked up a lot of goods.

Now we don’t have to worry about the market, we can produce it ourselves.

For example, the more ruthless Wan Shu even stockpiled goods not for use, but just to speculate in the market!

Wan Shu contributed to the skyrocketing price of rubber.

Of course, Zhuge Fa Cai didn't know all this.

"Master, why don't we buy some and send them back to start work? The price of fabrics at the Lingnan Weaving Bureau has dropped again these days!"

Several of his men spoke to him with concern.

Faced with this situation, Zhuge Fa Cai was overwhelmed.

"Don't be impatient, wait a little longer. This price is abnormal and it will definitely change back to normal."

He felt that rubber didn't have many uses, and that Nanman's large shipments would definitely drive down the price.

But a few days later, when he came here again, he found that the price had reached five cents of silver!

"This……"

Zhuge Facai's face looked very ugly.

And today the price of his procrastination became apparent.

After he looked at the price and returned to his house, one of his men rode a fast horse and rushed back.

"Oh no, Hall Master! Fang Qingyuan has taken away all the business of our seven cloth shops in Lingnan!"

"How can it be!"

Zhuge Fa Cai was extremely shocked, but there was really nothing he could do because their prices were not as low as those of the Lingnan Weaving Bureau.

The major cloth shops are not fools. Since they have low prices, they can just take advantage of them.

As for the disputes between Lingnan and Huxi, they just closed their eyes and pretended not to see them.

“Go buy it!”

After a long silence, Zhuge Fa Cai suddenly said two words.

Upon hearing this, the men were stunned.

"Master, what are you buying?"

"Go buy rubber, we can't wait any longer!"

His subordinates quickly stopped him and said:

"Master, absolutely not! The price of rubber has gone through the roof!"

Snapped!

A slap on his face.

Zhuge Facai roared:

"I said go buy it!"

Zhuge Fa Cai was too embarrassed to go back after seeing such a huge advantage being turned into this.

He must burn his boats!

There must be no mistakes this time!

As long as he can bring down Qin Ming, he can make it back no matter how much money he burns in the early stages.

If you can't defeat...

Zhuge Fa Cai didn't dare to think further.

That day, all the rubber on the market was sold out.

The financial resources of Huxi Chamber of Commerce shocked Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan.

But it made the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce smile.

"Your Highness, this is the money that President Wanshang sent, saying he would divide it among you."

In the evening, several deliverymen from the Chamber of Commerce branch pulled three heavy boxes and placed them in front of Qin Ming's mansion.
