If now was not the time, when would it be?
At the very least, it had to be like the pot of sunflowers she had moved outside the tent. They had to see the light and be magnanimous. Unlike now, when he had to leave at daybreak.
"If you need money, go to Kangan Bank and tell them your name." Long Fei Ye left these words before leaving. Undoubtedly, he had given in again.
In these two nights, he had the urge to find Han Yunxi several times and take her away to carry out his plan to lure Bai Yanqing out. But in the end, he restrained himself.
Han Yunxi stared blankly as Long Fei Ye's lonely figure disappeared outside the window. Her heart ached faintly.
Of course, she knew that Long Fei Ye had given in again.
If Myriad Merchant Hall wanted to survive this crisis, it was all about money. As long as they could hold on, they could afford to play, right?
She had Long Fei Ye's limitless gold card, but she could not use it openly in Myriad Merchant Hall. If it was a bank, she could borrow it in the name of the Chamber of Commerce.
Borrowing money was not an easy task. Besides, if the Chamber of Commerce wanted to borrow money, it would be a large sum. It was even more difficult.
Since Long Fei Ye had opened his mouth, it would be easy no matter how much she borrowed.
Long Fei Ye had given in for her, but it had also benefited the Di Clan for nothing.
"Long Fei Ye, even if we meet on the battlefield, I will definitely live on and bear you a bunch of children!" Han Yunxi murmured with tears in her eyes and a smile.
Even if Long Fei Ye had given in, she did not want Long Fei Ye to suffer losses. She had a way!
In the next few days, Han Yunxi was really busy. Long Fei Ye would come over at night to help her change her bandages and hug her to sleep. The two of them did not bring up the topic of children again.
Long Fei Ye clearly knew that there would be no result no matter how hard he tried, but he worked even harder than before. He even tormented her several times in one night, leaving countless marks on her body.
Han Yunxi always felt that he was punishing her. However, she accepted it and gladly endured it. She worked even harder to think of a way to settle the matter with Myriad Merchant Hall.
It took Uncle Cheng three days to find two locations in the two busiest cities near the Three-Way Battlefield.
One was located on the border between Tianning and Western Zhou, and was called the West Jade Garden. The other was located within Tianning, south of the Three-Way Black Market, and was called the South Jue Garden. Both gardens occupied a large area. There were enough halls to be converted into gambling halls and enough side rooms to be converted into guest rooms.
As soon as Uncle Cheng returned, he gave Han Yunxi the blueprints for the two gardens. Han Yunxi studied them carefully and liked them very much. She also silently admired Uncle Cheng's ability to find locations.
"These two gardens used to be summer residences for the Ning imperial clan. A few years ago, Emperor Tianhui lacked funds for his troops during the civil war, so he sold off many of the imperial gardens, including the South Jue and West Jade Gardens. They were sold off at a cheap price. After the buyer bought them, they left them empty. After all, the border regions are filled with war, so it's not a good place to live, "Uncle Cheng explained.
Before Cloud Realm Trade Consortium lost its business with the south central regions, they rarely bought empty gardens or residences no matter how rich they were. Most of their wealth was invested in business.
Gardens and residences didn't make money, but they were extremely costly. It was not a small expense for a garden to be equipped with servants and housekeepers. Moreover, every brick, tile, flower, tree, and grass in the garden needed to be maintained regularly.
The Di Clan's Ning Family was definitely a family of merchants. They haggled over every penny and wouldn't waste a single copper coin unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Since they're empty, the price shouldn't be too high, right?" Han Yunxi asked.
Uncle Cheng sighed and raised a palm.
Now everyone was stunned, including Han Yunxi. One palm was worth five. The price was 50 million? Five hundred million yuan?
After all, these two gardens weren't just any ordinary gardens. In terms of land area, one of them was worth more than ten large residences combined. Of course it couldn't be 50 million.
But if it wasn't 50 million, could it be 500 million? That was too high, wasn't it?
"Just how much is it?" the head elder grew anxious.
"The two residences belong to the same person. His surname is Chen, and his origins are unknown. If we sell them together, it'll be 500 million," Uncle Cheng replied.
"Is this daylight robbery?" the head elder cursed.
"What's going on? Could it be that he knows we're buying them to open a gambling house? Old Cheng, did you leak something? "the second elder questioned.
"I'm innocent. I didn't leak anything. I just said that Master likes it and wants to buy it for a short stay." Uncle Cheng looked aggrieved.
In reality, the garden owner had only offered a price of 200 million. Uncle Cheng had promised to give the garden owner an additional 50 million as a rebate, so that the garden owner could fake the price with him and raise the price.
"Then what's going on?" Han Yunxi asked.
"The garden owner said that if we don't hurry up and order it, we might not be able to buy it in two days," Uncle Cheng said helplessly.
"There are others who want to buy it? Who are they? "Han Yunxi quickly asked.
Uncle Cheng shook his head. "The garden owner refused to say. I'm wondering if it's someone from East Origin Hall. If the garden owner can offer 500 million, it means that the other buyers are not cheap. "
Aside from East Origin Hall, who else in this war-torn land could be so wealthy to throw away such a large sum of money?
Han Yunxi wasn't the only one who could think of opening another gambling house. If East Origin Hall beat them to it, then it would be difficult for them.
The elders looked at each other and became anxious.
Actually, Myriad Merchant Hall could afford the price of 500 million. Even if they couldn't, they could use the limitless gold card to pay first. However, once they bought it, what if Han Yunxi's plan to reopen the gambling house failed? Then this expenditure would go down the drain.
No matter how perfect a business model was, there were still risks. 500 million was not a small sum. At this critical juncture, Myriad Merchant Hall couldn't afford to gamble.
The silver used on the limitless gold card had to be returned within a month.
Uncle Cheng saw the difficult expressions on the elders' faces and was secretly delighted. He had led the suspicion to East Origin Hall, which was foolproof. First, it would arouse the Elders' fighting spirit. Second, no one would be able to investigate the truth.
"It's good, but it's a little too big. We don't need such a big one. Old Cheng, is there anything else? "Grand Elder asked tactfully.
"That's it. There are only these two places. If someone else gets there first, they won't be able to get there. If they snatch them, it'll be difficult for us! "Uncle Cheng said.
Actually, it was possible to open a gambling house elsewhere, but it wouldn't be as convenient as near the Three-Way Black Market. Those who came to the Three-Way Black Market to do business were mostly gamblers.
Seeing that no one spoke, Uncle Cheng helplessly reminded, "Princess, we can choose another place. However, if East Origin Hall takes over such a good place and we reopen the gambling house, they'll copy our gambling house model. Then we really won't be able to survive."
Hearing this, the elders became anxious. No matter how good a business model was, it still required the right time, place, and people. Location was very important when doing business.
A complicated look flashed across Han Yunxi's eyes. When she looked at Uncle Cheng, her gaze deepened.
Long Fei Ye wanted to buy a garden? Why didn't he tell her? If he wanted to buy a garden, then so be it. Why did he have to ask for such a high price?
Was Uncle Cheng lying? Or did Long Fei Ye want to give her a surprise? As for the truth, she'd better ask him tonight.
Han Yunxi accepted the two blueprints and said calmly, "I'll think about it for a night and give you an answer tomorrow morning. Elders, please consider it carefully. "
Uncle Cheng sneered inwardly. These two gardens were enough to make things difficult for Han Yunxi. He didn't need to think about the auction house anymore.
After discussing the gambling house, Han Yunxi asked about the auction house.
That troublemaking buyer had already been locked up in Myriad Merchant Hall's dungeon for two days. Grand Elder had arranged everything properly. Now, the two sides of public opinion in the Three-Way Black Market were evenly matched.
Some said that the buyer had been silenced by Myriad Merchant Hall. Myriad Merchant Hall refused to admit to selling fake goods and even killed the buyer. Others said that the buyer had been kidnapped by Golden Wing Palace. Golden Wing Palace not only hit Myriad Merchant Hall when they were down in the gambling house, they also wanted to frame Myriad Merchant Hall for the auction house.
Everything was progressing smoothly, but the buyer still refused to confess.
"Princess, could it be that we … made a mistake?" Grand Elder asked seriously.
He had used capital punishment, but the buyer insisted that he was innocent.
"There's no need to interrogate him. Rest well," Han Yunxi said calmly.
"Princess, the auction house hasn't had any business for six days. Yesterday, Old Liu brought out the ten treasures. There were many onlookers, but no one bid," Second Elder said helplessly.
No matter what public opinion was, it would pass eventually. The key was whether the auction house still had business!
"Everyone knows about Kangan Bank, right?" Han Yunxi said calmly.
As soon as this name was announced, everyone's eyes lit up.
Kangan Private Bank was Cloud Realm Continent's number one private bank, famous for its mysterious background. Out of the ten limitless gold cards, five of them came from this bank.
The limitless gold card that Deacon Jin had given to Mu Ling 'er came from Kangan Bank. Apparently, people from the bank had already sought out Deacon Jin over the past few days.
"Princess, why did you mention Kangan Bank?" Grand Elder asked nervously.
"I'm planning to use the auction house business to cooperate with Kangan Bank. Manager Luo has agreed, but I don't know what you all think?"
Everyone grew even more stunned at her words. Not to mention the method of cooperation, since Shopkeeper Luo had agreed, it meant that the cooperation was profitable. In other words, the auction house's business could be saved!
Manager Luo was a famous figure in the circle for being in charge of such a large bank. Any business he approved of would definitely succeed!
In his excitement, Grand Elder blurted out, "Princess, you can make all the decisions."
"This is Myriad Merchant Hall's business, after all. It's more appropriate for the elders to make the decisions," Han Yunxi feigned modesty.
"Your Highness Princess is too modest. We have pledged our loyalty to Western Qin, so naturally we'll listen to the princess's arrangements!"
Grand Elder immediately followed up. "The Council of Elders will listen to Your Highness Princess's arrangements."
Han Yunxi didn't need their verbal obedience. She wanted Myriad Merchant Hall's Elder Command Medallion. Without Ning Cheng here, Myriad Merchant Hall's Elder Command Medallion was superior to all of the Di Clan's Council of Elders. As long as Grand Elder was willing to hand over the item, she'd win.
There were still six days left until her agreement with Long Fei Ye, so she had patience.
"Naturally, I won't let you down," Han Yunxi said seriously.
She then told them the details of her cooperation with Kangan Private Bank. Once again, the elders and Uncle Cheng were shaken by Han Yunxi's words – a deep shock!
Han Yunxi's method of cooperation not only saved Long Fei Ye, but also saved the auction house!
