Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

The reason is simple: in Lannister Morgan's eyes, a wealthy person must have a broader perspective.

If they have a lot of money but no brains, all that money is useless.

After all, there are wealthy but brainless trendsetters in Lingas who want to come here.

As a result, within a few months, the person could no longer be found.

This person may seem arrogant, but if he spends the money, wants to become famous, and receives Mr. Jin's help, he'll be a valuable asset.

This is quite interesting, because although Mr. Kim is not a member of the Illuminati, he is not considered particularly wealthy in Lingas City.

However, Mr. Jin has many friends, and those friends are the kind who would be willing to help him if he asked.

So, from a certain perspective, the fact that Mr. Kim was able to organize this matter means that he has approved of the two people in front of him.

This is very important.

"Indeed, to have won Mr. Kim's favor, it seems that Ms. Boudica and Mr. Ce are not simple either," Lannister Morgan said politely.

Xiao Ce remained polite, saying, "Mr. Morgan, perhaps Mr. Jin is a kind person and didn't want us to pay such a high price for nothing..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Morgan smiled and didn't bother with pleasantries about the matter.

He also spoke quite frankly: "Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, I won't lie to you. I was worried you were swindlers before, but now it seems I was overthinking it... I heard from John that you want to participate in the auction of my shop at No. 1 Central Avenue? I wonder what you're planning to do?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Lannister Morgan and said, "I originally wanted to keep it a secret, but to be honest, Mr. Morgan and I hit it off immediately... so I won't hide it. We want to create a fashion..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Morgan looked at him with slight confusion and asked, "Fashion?"

Clearly, the word "fashion" doesn't exist here yet.

Xiao Ce did not continue to explain, but instead looked at Boudica.

Boudica was wearing some Western-style clothes that she had brought from Xiao Kingdom.

This Western-style dress looked quite out of place in the fashion environment of Xiao Kingdom.

However, it doesn't look out of place here at all; on the contrary, it looks quite nice.

Moreover, Xiao Ce was quite certain that there was no such design here.

In his previous life, Xiao Ce had been invited to attend many fashion shows, both large and small, and the designs were all in his mind.

Previously, Xiao Ce had wanted to promote those Western-style dresses through the Golden Society.

However, perhaps the timing wasn't quite right, as those new Chinese-style clothes were quite popular.

Those dresses were all slow-selling.

So, Xiao Ce brought it along this time...

In retrospect, the results have been quite good.

Xiao Ce looked at Boudica, and Lannister Morgan followed his gaze...

Then he looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

After a while, Xiao Ce asked Lannister Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, what do you think of Ms. Boudica's outfit?"

Lannister Morgan glanced at Boudica: "Not bad, the style is novel and very well-designed..."

After Lannister Morgan said this, he immediately looked at Xiao Ce.

He then said, "So, the fashion you're talking about... you don't just mean selling clothes, do you?"

Hearing Lannister Morgan's words and seeing his surprised expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "To put it simply, that's true..."

Lannister Morgan looked on incredulously: "Do you know how much it costs over there?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course it won't be too cheap... However, merchants have always pursued profit... We naturally won't do a losing business."

Lannister Morgan nodded after listening to Xiao Ce's words: "Not bad... Alright, then I won't ask any more questions... After all, if I ask any further, it would involve trade secrets..."

Xiao Ce nodded.

After a moment's thought, Lannister Morgan said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, it's a pleasure to meet you both today. Welcome to our auction!"

Xiao Ce shook hands with him and then said, "By the way, Mr. Morgan... actually, after learning that you were coming today, I also had my own idea. I wonder if you would be interested in hearing it?"

Lannister Morgan smiled slightly as he looked at Xiao Ce's serious expression.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, of course, you can say anything you want to say..."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly, then said to Lannister Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, what I mean is, I'm determined to get this shop at No. 1 Central Avenue. I'm the kind of person who will go up against any price offered... Of course, I mean a real offer. I'm not stupid enough to maliciously inflate the price..."

Lannister Morgan listened to Xiao Ce's words and nodded. He was also very smart and did not interrupt Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Morgan, "So, what I mean is, everyone's time is also very precious... And, to be honest, auctions are something that can offend people. Although we want to be famous, we don't want to offend anyone... Our previous confrontation with Prince William and the others was entirely because we had some personal grudges."

“We are new here as well, and we understand the saying that having more friends means having more paths to take, while having more enemies means having more walls to climb. So, my idea is that if Mr. Lannister Morgan could just name a price for us, we would like to sell it to him privately.”

"I promise you, I'll stay here with you and I won't haggle over the price once you name it!"

Lannister Morgan listened and said with a smile, "Oh? Really? You absolutely won't haggle over my offer?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, as long as you name it. No matter how much?"

Lannister Morgan said with a smile, "Mr. Ce, are you so sure? What if I ask for an exorbitant price?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Mr. Morgan, I'm not trying to flatter you, nor am I flattering myself... I'm good at judging people, and I don't think you're that kind of person... Of course, I'm not saying this to get you to lower your price."

"I'm not bragging, but I have plenty of money. Name your price—a price that's in your best interest and that will satisfy you and other potential bidders... and I'll agree. To be honest, your shop perfectly meets our requirements..."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Lannister Morgan, "Of course, this is just a selfish idea of ​​mine. If you are unwilling, I understand and support you..."

Lannister Morgan pondered for a moment: "Very well, since you've put it this way... I appreciate your sincerity. However, be prepared that the price I'm offering might exceed the final auction price..."

"Of course I know that... We're talking business, and as I said, you need to offer a price that those wealthy businessmen who want to participate are truly convinced of..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's sincerity, Lannister Morgan pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, then I'll give you a price: 150 million Thors."

"If it were a normal auction, this shop would likely fetch between 80 million and 100 million, which is in line with its value. But as you said, this is an auction. If I wanted to refuse, I would have to offer a higher price, a price that no one else would agree to..."

"If you can accept it, then you can. If you can't accept it, you can participate... Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. Ultimately, only a minority of people here are bidding against each other, since everyone here is a merchant, and those who want to buy this shop are all looking to make money."

"Business is all about making a profit, so you don't really need to pay such a high premium to buy this place..."

Before Lannister Morgan could finish speaking, Xiao Ce said, "Alright, Mr. Morgan. We'll take it. Now that we've met, let's just close the deal."

Lannister Morgan said incredulously, "I said 150 million Thors!"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. If Mr. Morgan wants to add a little, I have no objection... For me, time is money right now. Besides, it's good to offend fewer people... What do you think?"

Lannister Morgan waved his hand at Xiao Ce and said, "No, no, no... I'm not the kind of person who would raise prices arbitrarily. This price is already higher than the market price... Think it over!"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course, Mr. Morgan, if you want to reject the others first, and if they can offer a higher price, you can come and tell me..."

Lannister Morgan chuckled and waved his hand. "I'm not that kind of person. To be honest, I am short of money. But I don't lack this kind of money..."

Xiao Ce then turned to Lannister Morgan and said, "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry... I didn't mean anything by it..."

Lannister Morgan smiled and nodded before Xiao Ce could explain, "No need to explain, I know what you mean... Since you want to buy, I happen to want to sell. The price is right now, so naturally I have no reason not to sell."

As he spoke, Lannister Morgan glanced at Johann: "Johann, the matter that needs to be handled at the Lingas government office is yours..."

John nodded.

Lannister Morgan looked at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica. So, shall we have a pleasant collaboration?"

Xiao Ce shook hands with him directly, which was quite unexpected.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Lannister Morgan was a straightforward man; once an agreement was reached, he didn't waste any more words.

“Alright, Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica. The rest can be left to John.”

As he spoke, Lannister Morgan glanced at John and smiled slightly: "You've come to the right person. John is a smart man, and more importantly, a trustworthy one."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Indeed, what he did, and what you went through together... I have a lot of respect for him..."

Xiao Ce said, "John, here's what we'll do! You help me with this for now... If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll also work with you to help rescue children. Money should be used where it's useful... I think this is a meaningful and very useful thing."

John was thrilled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then nodded: "Okay!"

After Xiao Ce said that, Lannister Morgan nodded slightly but did not continue speaking.

"By the way, Mr. Morgan, there's something else I want to ask you..."

Lannister Morgan originally intended to leave, but after hearing Xiao Ce's words, he gave him a strange look.

"Mr. Ce, is there anything else?"

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Morgan, "If you have any other properties for sale, I'll buy them all. And the prices will definitely satisfy you... This way, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble... and I'll save myself a lot of trouble too..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Morgan smiled and said, "Alright, if there's anything else, I'll definitely contact you... However, my price..."

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Morgan with great arrogance, "Money is not a problem."

Lannister Morgan smiled and nodded after John saw Xiao Ce off.

After another money transfer, I checked out No. 1 Central Avenue.

Xiao Ce immediately began drawing up blueprints, and then had Da Lei supervise the construction.

If we were looking for someone, we naturally contacted Ryan.

Boudica seemed preoccupied after returning home in the afternoon, having been busy all day.

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, is something on your mind? I keep feeling like something's bothering you."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you really want to do charity work here? To sponsor those orphans?"

Xiao Ce looked at Boudica and asked, "What's wrong?"

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "There will definitely be a war between the West and East Asia in the future. Aren't we just raising people to fight against ourselves?"

It's clear that Boudica is very disappointed with this country!

Xiao Ce heard Boudica laugh out loud, and then said to her, "Do you think I'm doing a good deed?"

Boudica paused for a moment after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then asked, "Ce, aren't you right? Actually, when you made this decision just now, Da Lei and Ye Mao's expressions weren't good..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Boudica's words.

That's something they really didn't notice. Xiao Ce smiled, guessing what they were thinking.

He said with a smile, "You've all got the wrong idea!"
