William Lowe had underestimated the power of the perfume.
Neither the King nor the ministers seemed to have any resistance to it.
They surrounded him and wanted him to get a bottle for themselves.
After agreeing to the ministers’ requests, William Lowe finally managed to leave the encirclement of these people.
Just as he was about to leave, he found someone blocking in front of him like a steel wall.
William Lowe himself was 1.8 meters tall, but the person blocking in front of him could directly obstruct his view.
William Lowe was just about to curse when he saw the other party’s long golden hair.
This was… Prince Seidan!
Seeing that Seidan was in front of him, William Lowe quickly bowed respectfully.
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
Prince Seidan looked at Lowe with a smile.
“First of all, let me congratulate Count William for obtaining the wine supply contract.”
“No, no, it’s all thanks to His Majesty’s generosity.”
William Lowe lowered his head very modestly.
He did not dare to put all the honor on himself.
Moreover, Prince Seidan’s nearly two-meter height was strongly pressuring him, urging him to lower his head and submit.
“You’re right. It was my father who gave you all this, and it was also the Kingdom that gave you all this. So, don’t you feel that you should also contribute to the country?”
At this time, most of the ministers in the meeting hall had left, thus no one would hear their conversation.
The originally warm and sunny smile on Prince Seidan’s face gradually became indifferent, and even cold.
William Lowe’s back was covered with goosebumps.
These words sounded very familiar.
In the past, every time the kingdom wanted to send troops to war, they would come and give the noble families a mobilization talk to collect army provisions and gold coins.
If the nobles did not provide army provisions and gold coins, they would have to join the army and go to the front line to fight.
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)Under such coercion, other than a few war maniacs, most of the noble families would choose to suffer silently as they handed over their ransoms.
The current Prince Seidan was a tier 6 knight, and thus could be said to be the most powerful heir to the throne.
William Lowe did not dare to offend the other party.
Even if he knew that the other party was here to extort money, he did not dare to refuse.
Unless it was because one was tired of living, or else who would be foolish enough to offend a powerful prince with military power?
However, what William Lowe didn’t understand was that matters of war were matters of war, but why did the Prince suddenly set his eyes on him?
In terms of his handling of affairs, the amount of gold coins he usually spent should’ve been enough.
In terms of wealth, there were many more noble families wealthier than him.
So, why did the Prince come to him and him alone now?
William Lowe could not help but ask, “Prince Seidan, I naturally support the kingdom with all my heart, but I am only responsible for the palace’s wine. My power is really limited…”
As if he had expected these words from the other party, Prince Seidan smiled and did not say anything, waiting for the other party’s reply.
As if to prove his determination, William Lowe clenched his teeth as he said, “But I’m willing to personally offer 10,000 gold coins to support the kingdom!”
10,000 gold coins was not a small amount.
The total worth of an ordinary tier 9 powerhouse was only about this much.
Of course, a tier 9 powerhouse may still have some equipment or even an ancient magic relic on them, and the value of those could not be calculated with gold coins.
In short, in terms of gold coins, many noble families were richer than tier 9 powerhouses.
The 10,000 gold coins William Lowe had offered was the William Family’s annual profit from the wine.
As for why he was so generous all of a sudden, William Lowe was also spending money to ensure his safety.
Right now, he did not think much about the wine profits in the kingdom, it was the perfume that represented the future.
After he got his hands on the perfume supply, would he be afraid of not making money?
This thing was sold anywhere else other than here.
William Lowe knew how much money he could make by monopolizing an industry.
The money would come into his pockets faster than the coin machines could make coins.
The money he was giving away now could be considered an early investment.
William Lowe had a well understanding of all this, but someone else understood it better than him.
When he first heard William Lowe’s numbers, Seidan was stunned.
The profits of the businesses in the kingdom that the nobles were in charge of had long been investigated.
Although wine was very profitable, there was also fierce competition from many people.
The ones that made unbelievable amounts of money were industries or products that didn’t have much competition, for example, spices, high-grade textiles, and fine porcelain.
These were either impossible to imitate, or extremely difficult to imitate.
The upper limits of what one could gain from the wine business were fixed because there was no monopoly.
Therefore, when he heard William Lowe say that he was willing to take out 10,000 gold coins to support the kingdom, Seidan’s originally indifferent face also showed a trace of fluctuation.
10,000 gold coins.
This old guy was really going all out today.
The wine business, in its utmost glory, could only yield that much profit each year.
Now, he actually dared to take out all of it and didn’t even try to negotiate, which could only mean one thing: The thing in his hand was even more valuable than the 10,000 gold coins.
Thinking of this, Seidan’s smile became even more enthusiastic.
He stretched out his callused big palm from often holding a sword and patted the other party’s shoulder.
“Haha, Count William, you’ve misunderstood, haven’t you? It’s fine as long as you have the kingdom in your heart. The perfume that I heard you talk about just now though…”
Hearing that he was here for the perfume too, William Lowe immediately patted his chest in confidence.
“No problem. If the Prince wants perfume, I’ll definitely prepare it for you.”
So the Prince was also here for the perfume.
He was very shocked just now and was thinking that the Prince was here to extort him.
It seemed that perfume was really a good thing. Otherwise, even the Prince would not be so tempted.
He rested his heart in ease.
However, just a moment after William Lowe’s heart was put at ease, Prince Seidan’s next sentence made him feel cold all over.
“What I meant is that I want the method to make the perfume.”
These words were like a bolt from the blue, directly causing William Lowe’s heart to stop for a beat.
He was asking him for the production method?
Prince, are you not joking with me again?
“Prince Seidan, I really don’t know the production method of the perfume. Otherwise, I would have started mass production by now. If I did know, how could I have only given your father one bottle of perfume?”
After William Lowe returned to his senses, he smiled wryly.
At the same time, he decided that as soon as he got the formula from Eddie’s side, he would start producing it.
“Looking at the manner you were carrying yourself with just now, it seemed to me that you were about to commence mass production. How can you not have the formula?”
Seidan looked at him with some doubt.
After all this time, you don’t have the formula yourself? Then why did you agree to this and agree to that?
Prince Seidan thought to himself, “Was this guy here to make a joke?”
His face was filled with annoyance.
His gaze at William Lowe was also slightly annoyed.
“Prince, just because I don’t know the formula doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t. It’s just that I will only be able to get the formula for this magical perfume after some time.”
William Lowe hurriedly explained. If he offended the first Prince, let alone the perfume, even his wine business would probably fail.
However, when the Prince heard that things were hopeful, he raised his eyebrows, and said, “You’ll only be able to obtain it after some time? Tell me where it is, I’ll go get it for you!”
