The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 1036 Are there any other methods?

In the post station

The candlelight flickered in Joliff's room. Joliff sat at his desk, surrounded by several blond men, each holding a cup of tea and savoring the tea.

“Cousin, this tea smells wonderful! It’s really good tea!” Brian exclaimed.

“Yes, the fragrance is very strong. It will definitely fetch a good price if we take it back,” Charles nodded in agreement.

After taking a bite, another man couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed, "It's a good thing! The Western Chu Kingdom actually has so many good things, much better than the Yue Rong Kingdom."

At this moment, Henry excitedly said, "Your Highness! Lord Dong just said that Prince Jing has agreed to meet with us tomorrow at noon. Doesn't this give us a chance to discuss things with them?"

Jolie placed his teacup on the tea table and listened to their conversation without saying anything. His cousin Brian, however, frowned and said in a deep voice, "I just wonder if His Highness Prince Jing could help us connect with their merchants in the capital? So that we can buy more of their goods."

“Your Highness is unaware!” Henry quickly interjected, “I was just about to tell you about this. This afternoon, while I was loitering around the entrance of the post station, I learned that this Prince Jing is the God of War of the Western Chu Kingdom. They defeated several other countries and have extremely high prestige! His elder brother is the current Crown Prince.”

"You call him a war god?" Brian's eyes gleamed with admiration. Then, remembering something, he continued, "No wonder he has such a magical telescope! It seems the weapons of the Western Chu Kingdom must be extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Joliffe nodded, "Your analysis is correct."

At this point, Henry continued recounting the information he had gathered, "Did you know that the Zhenwei Pavilion shop we visited this morning is supposedly owned by the brother of Princess Jing?"

"Is that true?" Joliv's eyes widened suddenly. "That Zhenwei Pavilion is owned by Prince Jing's brother." Joliv asked in surprise.

“Absolutely true!” Henry nodded vigorously. “Your Highness, I’ve heard that those rare items we bought are only available in the Western Chu Kingdom, and they’re often sold out!”

Upon hearing this, Joliff excitedly stood up and paced back and forth in the room, repeatedly saying, "God is helping me... God is helping me!"

“Cousin, what do you mean by this?” Brian asked him, puzzled.

“Cousin, do you know how much money we’d make if we could bring more of those things back to Lorian?” Joliv said excitedly.

Brian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cousin, that's true, but even if His Highness Prince Jing can help us negotiate a lower price for their goods, we don't have much cash on hand, so we can't buy many items!" So far, they've only talked about buying novel goods from the Western Chu Kingdom, but no one has mentioned the money, so he had to remind them.

Brian's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him. Jolief paused, his earlier excitement vanishing instantly, and the joy on his face disappearing in an instant. He silently walked to the window and gazed at the deep night outside.

Just now I was so focused on the novelties and calculating the profits that I forgot about the crucial matter of money. Thinking of this, a wave of worry washed over me.

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment, and the other people in the room also fell silent.

After a while, Charles raised his eyes, his narrow eyes darting around a few times, and called out to Jolief, who was standing by the window, "Your Highness, I have an idea."

Jolief turned around, leaned against the window frame, and looked at him: "Tell me your thoughts."

Charles tentatively suggested, "Your Highness, why don't we sell the goods we brought to other countries on the Yuzhou Continent?"

“That’s not appropriate!” Brian immediately retorted. “We’re new to this Yuzhou continent and completely unfamiliar with it. We know nothing about the situation in other countries. Besides, the journey is long and the risks are too great.”

"Lord Brian, do you think there are any other methods?" Charles asked.

At this moment, another blond man, Oria, interjected, "We can try asking that young master from Silver Feather Tower. Isn't he also a businessman? We can ask him to help us sell our goods to other countries on the Yuzhou Continent."

“Will he help us? He definitely wants to make money too. How much silver are you selling it to him for? And is he even willing to accept it? If he's not willing to accept it and is just helping us make connections, when will we get our money? Are we going to have to stay here for a month? When will we be able to go back to Lorian?” Brian asked, his brows furrowed.

“Indeed, Lord Brian is right,” Henry agreed. “If the price is too high, he certainly won’t accept it. Western Chu goods are already cheap, so we must sell them cheaply as well. Besides, if we stay here too long, His Majesty the King will be worried.”

“Sigh, how come things are so cheap on the Yuzhou continent? What should we do?” Charles sighed.

Joliffe glanced at the people present and sighed deeply. "It's because their goods are cheap that we can make a fortune by taking their goods back, relieving my kingdom's difficulties. Moreover, we can sell them to other kingdoms at higher prices and make even more money."

Silence fell in the room again. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Brian broke the silence and said, "Cousin, in my opinion, why don't we meet with His Highness Prince Jing tomorrow and ask him for our help?"

Upon hearing this, Joliv asked in confusion, "How do we ask him?" The others present also looked at him, not understanding what he meant by that.

Brian paused for a moment and continued, "We can directly tell His Highness Prince Jing about our difficulties and ask if we can exchange our goods for theirs at a low price, then we can buy their novel products to take back. That would solve our money problem."

Upon hearing this, Joliv lowered his head and pondered for a long time, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the windowsill. Finally, he nodded: "That's the only way. We'll discuss this matter with Prince Jing tomorrow. I wonder if Prince Jing and his men can help us."

He paused for a moment, then turned to Henry and Charles and instructed them: "Here's what you two do. Tomorrow morning, take some men to Silver Feather Tower and find out what the owner thinks. See if he can help us with this barter method. Then talk to His Highness Prince Jing at noon."

"Your Highness, how much silver would they exchange our items for?"

After considering for a moment, Joliv hardened his heart and said, "At most, it will be five taels of silver cheaper than their goods here."

“Five taels of silver? Your Highness! We’re losing a lot of money!” Charles said.

“Let’s think long-term.” Joliv’s eyes sharpened. “If we can reach an agreement, we and the Western Chu Kingdom will be cooperating with them for the long term. We can definitely make up for the current losses in the future.”

"Besides, if we can take half of their novel products back with us, we won't lose out."
