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

Xiao Ce replied, "That's great. Then I'll talk to Mr. Lannister Morgan about the price. As long as he's willing to pay, I'll stick to what I said before and not haggle."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, John waved his hand: "Mr. Ce, Mr. Lannister Morgan said that if you really want to open an orphanage, he will definitely give you a very reasonable price. His manor is 200 million soles for you!"

Xiao Ce was immediately surprised after hearing what John Joe said, for no other reason than this.

This price isn't just cheap; it's rock bottom, probably even their cost price.

Seeing Xiao Ce's surprised expression, John quickly said, "Mr. Ce, of course, as I mentioned, Mr. Lannister Morgan also has his requirements..."

Xiao Ce said to John, "It's just about building an orphanage. I'm only doing this. Of course, I might set up some workshops and classrooms there. In the future, I definitely won't be buying an entire estate, but the ultimate goal is to raise those orphans."

"After all, you're just feeding some orphans, which is meaningless... We're not just feeding them, we're nurturing them into the elite of the West."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, John was deeply moved by Xiao Ce's words.

Because John was an orphan, he knew that Xiao Ce's method could change the fate of many people.

He knew that an orphan like him would never have achieved his current status if he hadn't met Lannister Morgan.

However, if Xiao Ce were to establish an orphanage that not only provides for their physical health but also educates them, that would be wonderful.

Seeing that John's eyes were red, Xiao Ce said, "Mr. John, please pass on what I said about following Mr. Lannister Morgan. This can be included in the contract..."

John Joe said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, how do you make a profit? Or rather... why do you do this?"

Xiao Ce's true purpose was certainly not what John Joe had said.

He needs to train a group of orphans who will learn his ideas and culture, and then use these orphans to enter various industries to gradually assimilate them.

That was his long-term goal, while his short-term goal was simply to establish a persona for Boudica.

In fact, he already knew this when Boudica might become the Queen of the British Empire.

Xiao Ce felt that the orphanage project had to be carried out.

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "Profit? Doing good deeds requires profit? We've never thought about making a profit..."

Then Xiao Ce said to John, "Of course, there are selfish motives involved. We hope that by doing some good deeds, we can earn Boudica a good reputation."

"As you know, Boudica was driven out of the Targaryen family."

John nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand... Mr. Ce, I got it."

Xiao Ce also saw through John's concerns: "John, I know your worries. We simply want to do some good..."

"If you'd like, I can invite you to be the director of this orphanage. The salary would be twice your annual income at the savings bank, how about that?"

John Joe became excited after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

To be honest, working at the United Savings Bank is a dream job for many people.

However, he preferred the job of the orphanage director.

"I'm willing, but I don't need money... I..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand at John and said, "Giving you money is a recognition of your value. What you do with the money is your business. This is my invitation, and you don't need to answer me in such a hurry, because there is still a lot of work to be done beforehand."

John said to Xiao Ce with certainty, "Mr. Ce, no need to consider it. As long as you invite me, I'm willing... Besides, this is because you need people to do a lot of the initial work for the orphanage."

"I think I can help you..."

Seeing how excited John was, Xiao Ce knew from John's previous incident that this kind of moral person was exactly the kind of person he needed.

As for what he wants to do, it's actually a calculated move; he wants to instill values ​​in them, which isn't wrong.

He knew exactly how to deal with someone as morally fastidious as Johan.

Xiao Ce then said to John, "Alright, Dean John, welcome to the team..."

John saw Xiao Ce extend his hand and quickly shook it.

"Then go and get the preliminary work done, and there's the issue of orphans. Give me a plan regarding the eligibility and number of orphans for the first batch..."

John nodded: "Okay, Mr. Ce, then tell me, what should we name this orphanage?"

Xiao Ce said to John, "The House of Dark Light..."

Xiao Ce originally wanted to name it Boudica's House, since it was to create a character setting for Boudica.

However, calling it that is too direct.

He needs to build a luxury brand, and using charity as a gimmick is indeed not a good idea.

John nodded. "Okay. Mr. Ce, I'll go arrange it right away..."

I have no curiosity about the benefits of this John.

He didn't ask why it was called the House of Dark Light.

After reaching an agreement, Xiao Ce then said to John, "By the way, John, when you go to do the deal with Lannister Morgan, find out the market price for his manor if it were sold normally. Tell him you can give it to him at the market price. Aren't the Lannisters short of money? Just tell him that we don't have the habit of taking advantage of others' misfortunes."

"Furthermore, Lady Boudica is also a citizen of the British Empire, and she holds the Lannisters in high regard... If he disagrees after you say this, then we will go along with his wishes. Then, please add a line from Lady Boudica: if the Lannister navy needs rebuilding, and if they require financial assistance, we can provide some help within our capabilities."

John nodded repeatedly, then took notes in a small notebook.

Although it's said that a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

However, Xiao Ce felt that this was still not a good idea.

After all, if this is lost, it will be solid evidence.

John Joe, noticing Xiao Ce staring at his notebook, said awkwardly, "Mr. Ce, although I can remember it, I'm afraid I might have missed something..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, she said this.

John said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, are you worried about security?"

Xiao Ce did not hide anything.

Often, speaking your mind directly can solve many problems.

Xiao Ce nodded.

John said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, don't worry, I know that. So no one but myself can understand this document."

Xiao Ce initially expressed his doubts.

But after John handed his notebook to Xiao Ce to read...

Xiao Ce then confirmed it, because he couldn't understand a single symbol written on it.

Even if you try to make connections based on what he said, you still can't understand it.

John Joe explained with a laugh that when they were children in the orphanage, there was no formal education.

So he made up some texts to pretend he was studying.

Over time, he began to write in a style of writing that only he could understand.

After hearing John's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, if that's the case, you can take notes..."

After the two finished talking, John left.

Just as John left and Xiao Ce was about to go back, he discovered that Ryan had already arrived.

Ryan reported to Xiao Ce.

They have already contacted several farms through his brother, and people there are willing to do some workshops for them.

Furthermore, they are already interviewing all the people they are recruiting.

Moreover, with Kimberly's help, Ryan has already put up their advertisements in the most prominent places in Lingas City.

Their advertisement is very simple: a white background with black lettering "1O" and a line of smaller text below that: "Luxury Without the Extraordinary."

This kind of advertising model has never been seen before. Suddenly, it was hung in the most conspicuous place in Lingas City. These advertisements made people wonder what this dark light brand was.

After listening to Ryan's report, Xiao Ce was still quite satisfied.

"And then you'll spread the word that you're buying some fabric. You'll announce that you're buying it at a high price, hundreds of thousands of soles per foot..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he casually wrote down some names of fabrics on a piece of paper that were completely incomprehensible. In fact, Xiao Ce had just made up these names on the spot.

The goal was to get Ryan to go find people, to search everywhere.

As for the samples, go to their farm and ask those shadow guards for them. Xiao Ce is very confident in their skills; no one will know about them.

Ryan didn't quite understand what Xiao Ce was doing.

However, he knew very well that Xiao Ce must have had his reasons for doing so.

...

Sure enough, news spread in the business community of Lingas City.

That is, someone offered 200,000 to buy some fabrics that they had never seen before but had very good quality.

Although the news was spreading everywhere, even the best fabric merchants, after seeing the samples, did not know where the fabric came from.

Anyway, no, this cloth started at 200,000 per foot, and later the price was raised to 500,000.

All of this was orchestrated by Xiao Ce behind the scenes. He had Ryan contact his elder brother, who then contacted several foreign merchants. They brought out a box of cloth.

The cloth was sold in one of the busiest places in Lingas, fetching a full one million soles for a chest of fabric.

The news spread like wildfire, and everyone was inquiring about the fabric.

But all I know is that the fabric is very rare and the production process is very difficult.

Basically, they exaggerated the quality of those fabrics, making them seem like they were incredibly rare.

...

Xiao Ce was busy for a few days, then he calmed down.

He's not as busy anymore; after all, most of the time he just needs to sit and control the remote, which is better.

He was manipulating things from behind the scenes, and everything was going very smoothly.

Everything went according to his plan.

I thought the castle auctions would be quick, but perhaps all parties are busy raising funds, so there's been no news for a long time.

I had been thinking of chatting with Kimberly these past few days, or getting to know some of his older brothers that Kimberly mentioned.

However, Kimberly seemed to have vanished into thin air.

On this very day, Xiao Ce was leisurely drinking coffee.

There was a knock at the door. After Da Lei opened the door, he called out to Xiao Ce, who was reading a book on Western history, "Mr. Ce, Mr. Jin has arrived."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce hurriedly put down the book in his hand.

After putting the book down.

Xiao Ce walked to the door and saw Kimberly, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

"Mr. Jin, where have you been all day? I was so worried about you..."

Xiao Ce's Dark Light brand aims to attract wealthy middle-class businessmen.

However, Xiao Ce had always said that Kimberly must be the first person, so many things could not be done until Xiao Ce had won Kimberly over.

Kimberly smiled and said, "I went to see my older brothers and told them about what happened here. They said they would come to see you after they finished what they were doing."

Xiao Ce listened and nodded. To be honest, he was quite concerned about his older brothers at that moment.

The real owner of the Lingas Hotel is still very curious.

After inviting Kimberly inside, Xiao Ce asked him, "Mr. Kimberly, may I ask a question...?"

Kimberly looked at Xiao Ce and said with a smile, "Of course, and didn't you say that we're friends? Friends should speak their minds."

After listening to Kimberly's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Alright, then I'll be frank. I think you're already very impressive, Mr. Kimberly. Seeing how respectful you are to your older brothers, aren't they even more impressive?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Kimberly's eyes darted around twice before he said to Xiao Ce, "Well, firstly, I respect them not because of their abilities, but because they are my elder brothers! Secondly, to be my elder brothers, they must have extraordinary abilities..."

"They can't be said to be that amazing, but they each have their own strengths... We'll know when we meet them."

Kimberly continued, before Xiao Ce could speak, "Mr. Ce, don't worry. Actually, I've already spoken to them about it, and they have no objections. Besides, when I came back, I saw what you did in Lingas City, so I knew there wouldn't be any problems. I think our cooperation is definitely a sure thing..."

Xiao Ce listened to Kimberly's words and said with a smile, "You saw what I did? What do you think?"
