Of course Frank didn't really want Tang En to take out money to buy the mine.
He was only protecting the Cardier Family's face.
If he didn't take any money and gave the mine to Tang En, how could his Cardier Family stay in Alinx?
So, Tang En had to take out some money to show his sincerity.
But this bit of money was something that Tang En couldn't do.
From the mine map that Frank took out, Tang En had his eyes on a mine.
Haier Zorm.
The distance between Haier Zorm and Ellington was not very far. It was north of Bein, at the northeast edge of Ellington's territory. If it was a carriage, it would take four days. If they were a little more ruthless, they could pave the asphalt road over, and the transportation speed would be even faster.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Magic Crystal mine wasn't small, it was enough for Tang En to digest for a while.
But this price … …
"Five million gold coins."
The number that Frank said made Tang En's balls hurt.
Five million gold coins, buying a large scale Magic Crystal mine for around a tenth of the price wasn't a normal kind of cheap. It was simply like picking up a mine for free on the side of the road.
Although the Magic Crystal market was only that big right now, the potential value of a small Magic Crystal mine was at least ten million gold coins after being developed. Not to mention that the mine that Tang En had his eyes on wasn't small, it could be worth hundreds of millions of gold coins at a high price.
If it wasn't for the fact that Tang En had the advantage, how could he get such a good price?
But the problem was that this was a free price that Tang En couldn't take out.
Even if the Datang Chamber of Commerce was earning money every day, Ellington was still lacking money. Whether it was buying construction materials, importing food, or large amounts of manpower, they all required large amounts of gold coins.
Under Tang En's policy, Ellington was using money to open the way. He used 200% of the gold coins to exchange for 500% of the development speed.
Was it worth it?
Worth it!
However, how could Ellington, who was currently only relying on the Datang Chamber of Commerce for profits, keep up with this rate of spending?
"That's my bottom line."
The expressionless Frank knocked on the table. "You can be shameless, but the Cadier family is."
Tang En thought for a moment, then got up and said, "Give me one day to raise the money."
Frank pretended to be surprised, but he was actually mocking, "Not even five million gold coins? Baron Twain, it seems that your territory is more than just barren! Haha … Sorry, I was a little blunt. "
Tang En casually waved his hand, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't care about the Magic Crystal Mine this much. It has to be known, the trash in the eyes of a Grand Duke like you is a treasure to me."
This method of belittling himself and elevating the other party made Frank very happy. "I can give you three days. After all, I know that the Trade Union has some conflicts with you."
"That's just a small problem. It's not a big problem. Goodbye."
Twain waved his hand and left in a carefree manner alone.
After Tang En left, Frank's face sunk again.
What did he want to do? A wild mage who might be at the Grandmaster Level, what did he lack? What did he want? Did he deliberately want to show off his muscles? Or was his goal the Haier Zorm Mine?
No matter how Frank thought about it, with his limited vision, he would never have thought that Tang En was about to open a new era of magic energy. In this era, controlling the Magic Crystals meant controlling energy, controlling wealth, and controlling power!
After Tang En left the Cadier family, he had the driver turn back to the Feier family.
Aubury had just returned from the Royal District and hadn't even warmed his chair when he heard that Tang En wanted to see him.
"Tang En? Didn't he go back to Ellington? "
Aubury raised a brow. "Tell him to come over."
"I'm already here."
Chuckling, Tang En pushed the door open and walked in.
Aubury was very displeased. "Don't you know any etiquette?"
"We're all on the same side. Don't be so polite. Here, I'll treat you to tea."
Tang En waved his hand and threw the teapot over.
"To hell with the same side …"
Aubury was full of complaints. This guy really didn't treat him as an outsider. However, after pouring a cup of Tang En's hot tea, Aubury's complaints vanished.
"Good tea!"
Aubury exclaimed. After drinking the hot tea, he felt that the aging cells in his body were rejuvenated. He was excited.
Aubury immediately fixed his burning gaze on the teapot — oh, no, Tang En.
"Eek —"
Tang En shuddered. "Don't look at me like that."
Aubury rubbed his fingers and chuckled. "Grandson-in-law, don't you have anything to show your filial piety to me?"
"Don't call me that. There's nothing going on between me and Elsa."
Tang En waved his hand. Although he didn't care, the girl did. If Elsa found out and became angry, she would punch him … How innocent would he be?
"Okay, okay, there's no outsider here. Stop pretending."
Aubry laughed heartily. He picked up the teacup and drank happily. With every sip of hot tea, he felt that he was a few years younger. After drinking a cup of tea, he felt that if Aradeline was in front of him, he could punch him out of Alinx with a single punch!
Tang En shrugged and sat down across from Aubury. "I'm here to borrow money."
Aubury, who was relaxed all over, casually asked, "How much?"
"Five million gold coins."
Aubury almost spat out the hot tea in Tang En's face. "How much?"
"Five million gold coins."
"Wait! Let's not talk about what you want the money for. What makes you think I have so much spare money to lend to you? "
"Tsk, why didn't you say so earlier? So you're also a pauper."
Tang En curled his lips. "Fine, I'll go find Grand Duke Adrian."
"Him? Ha, he's even poorer than me! "
Aubury said disdainfully. "In order to maintain his demeanor as Grand Duke of Condemnation, that guy doesn't even do a lot of business that comes to his door. His days are tight, and you're still counting on him?"
Tang En was embarrassed, completely embarrassed. These two pillars of the Irus Empire were both paupers!
"You can't even take out five million gold coins, and you have the nerve to call yourselves Grand Dukes!?"
"Pay attention to your words. It's not that you can't take it out, it's that there's no need to take it out!"
Aubrey corrected Twain's words. "My and Aradeline's gold coins are all used to raise … Oh, you know, the money that we can lend you is all idle money. We really can't afford five million."
"Then what about Victor?"
"His Majesty Victor? He should be fine … "
Aubury frowned slightly. "After all, with so many years of accumulation, no one knows what trump cards the royal family has. Speaking of which, didn't you spend a billion gold coins to buy Lord Ellington? You know best whether Victor has money or not. "
Tang En smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't even know if there was such a thing, let alone whether the money existed or not.
"In that case …"
Tang En rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea. He smiled very brightly. "Grand Duke Aubury, can you help me contact Grand Duke Adrian and His Majesty Victor? I think the four of us should sit down and talk … about gold coins. "
Aubury was stunned. "You want the three of us to lend you money?"
"That's not the point. The point is, do you want to get rich?"
Tang En said calmly. "If you want to get rich, call Grand Duke Adrian, and we'll go see His Majesty Victor together."
Aubury hesitated.
Because he didn't know whether Tang En was telling the truth or not.
There was no doubt that Tang En had the lifeline of the royal family in his hands — just like him, he was very short of money, and what he was short of was big money.
If Tang En really had a way to make big money, Victor would definitely be very interested.
At this moment, Aubury thought of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the miracle of Tang En earning a million gold coins a day.
"Okay!"
Aubury gritted his teeth. "I'll trust you this time!"
Tang En smiled brightly. "That's great."
It certainly wasn't easy for ordinary people to see His Majesty Victor. Not to mention how long the appointment would take, just the layers of inspection alone would take a day. However, with Aubury and Adrian leading the way, these troubles were saved.
They were the backbone of this country. If even they couldn't be trusted, then this country would've been finished long ago.
When they saw Victor, he was dealing with some documents in his study. However, when he saw Tang En and the others, Victor immediately stopped his work and stood up with a smile, wanting to take the initiative to greet them.
"…"
But when he noticed Aubry's and Aradeline's surprised gazes, Viktor controlled his abnormal emotions well. He coughed lightly, stopped in his tracks, and took a book from the bookshelf beside him. Then, he said casually, "Please wait for a moment."
That was close …
Victor was slightly relieved. He almost blurted it out just now.
After putting on an act for a while, Victor raised his head and said, "Your Excellencies, and … Baron Twain, please take a seat. Old Tom, serve the tea —"
As soon as he shouted these words, Victor froze there.
Tang En had already met Old Tom …
Sure enough, when Tang En saw Old Tom appear with a teacup in his hand, the smile on his face immediately became a little strange.
Old Tom was actually Victor's close servant?
In other words, it was very likely that Victor sold 77 Queen Street to him?
Why was he so nice to him?
Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly. His intuition told him that Victor must know some secrets … Even secrets about him that even Victor himself didn't know.
Old Tom shook his head slightly. His Majesty Victor was so busy that he actually forgot about this matter.
After serving tea to Tang En and the others, Old Tom left silently, as if he had never seen Tang En.
Seeing that Victor and Old Tom didn't intend to expose him, Tang En wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to bring it up.
Perhaps this was some kind of hidden tacit understanding.
