In the late summer and early autumn, the north wind gradually increased.

Charles's passenger ship took the opportunity of a cold air to go south to the royal capital of the Hohen Kingdom, Stauffen, and there was no accident along the way, not like a certain durian who just arrived at the construction site and was told that Party A had just changed the plan last night, and he was so busy.

Someone came over this time to see the excitement.

Previously, in order to make money and return to blood, Conradin, the crown prince of the Hohen Kingdom, opened a gambling game of a duel between Charles and Allen.

Normally, the bookmaker can make a steady profit by adjusting the odds.

In terms of fame, Charles's reputation for "Ru Eight Hundred" is loud, and Alan has obtained the artifact Flame Divine Sword, and the two sides are evenly matched.

In terms of personal combat effectiveness, in public opinion, Allen, who has an artifact, is stable over Charles, even if Charles has the "money ability", he can only narrow the gap slightly.

But nothing is absolute, the devil knows what powerful weapons Charles got from the elves, and the gossip about the elven queen secretly giving Charles the forbidden spell scroll is still very marketable.

At the beginning of the market, the odds of Charles and Allen were equal.

In the beginning, the merchants of the Duchy of Milan were just "small gambles" and bought a little at will.

Not long after, Gunnar Nodal, the current speaker of the Duchy of Milan, secretly convened a meeting of the speakers of the major chambers of commerce in the country, ready to join forces to teach Conradin a lesson.

No one knew what was going on at the meeting, there was no mention of it from the participants, and no news came out.

Not long after the meeting, rumors such as "Charles was kicked out of the Elven Tree Sea because he slept with the elves two sisters, four sisters and eight sisters......", "Blood is thicker than water, Linda planned to sleep Charles until his legs were weak before the war", "Farm tragedy, mother and daughter wail every night only because of Charles" and other rumors began to circulate among the people, which greatly affected Charles's reputation.

At that time, after Charles heard these rumors, he endured it for the sake of his increasing odds, including the fact that "mother and daughter wailing" became "female donkey wailing" because of the north-south accent problem.

Now that the dust has settled, the rumors are naturally self-defeating, probably.

Opening is a mathematical problem, and the bookmaker constantly adjusts the odds according to the betting data in order to make a steady profit.

It's just that the means of communication in this world are still very backward, and the dealer can't grasp the betting data in time.

So the merchants of the Duchy of Milan took advantage of this time difference and suddenly bet heavily on Charles to win from the agents of Conradin everywhere before the closure.

The merchants of the Duchy of Milan have a lot of money in their hands, and they have been finding out information through various overt and covert means. They don't need to know much, they just need to know how much bet each side of the agent is charging.

After learning the general situation of the bets, the merchants made a large number of bets, first making sure to swallow all the bets that the agent had given to Allen, and then slaughtering them fiercely.

When Conradin sees the stats from his men after sealing the plate, his new desk is kicked and smashed against the wall.

Charles didn't know how much of a trap the merchants of the Duchy of Milan had set Conradin, and now that the duel was over for almost a month, there was still a large group of guys holding banners blocking the square in front of the palace to collect debts.

In Conradin's plan, the Kingdom of Hohen will take advantage of the unsafe port of the Elven Tree Sea and take advantage of the opportunity of the northern merchants who take the sea route to the Elven Tree Sea through their own country, and build the kingdom into a new commercial center in the south.

For a country aspiring to a place in the center of business, national credit is extremely important.

No merchant wants to live with an untrustworthy kingdom, and they are afraid that their goods will one day be "requisitioned" by the kingdom.

Now is the season when the bulk goods are transported to the Elven Tree Sea by sea from the north wind, and a large number of merchants and sailors who have come here will inevitably spread the matter to the mainland when they see the scene of debt collection in the square.

In this way, the national credit of the Hohen Kingdom was marked with a big question mark by the merchants on the mainland.

After Conradin learned that he had escaped this time, he considered the possibility of someone coming to collect the debt, and also made a plan to deal with it.

However, the merchants of the Duchy of Milan gave Conradin a hard blow, and they sold all the bets to the debt collection agency of the Super Blue Dragon Consortium.

Charles went to the palace square in the Kingdom of Hohen, bought a packet of fried peanuts from a vendor, and then joined the crowd to watch several dragons accuse Conradin of his debts in the form of a stage play.

After watching it for a while, Charles knew that Conradin was going to be finished, at least for a short time.

The fact that the prince of a country organized gambling and lost so much that he didn't dare to come out to meet people is enough to go down in history.

Charles didn't pay attention to this matter, just watched the excitement on the side of the road, and occasionally talked about it as an anecdote when chatting in the future.

After watching the excitement for a while, he came to the hotel run by the elves in the city and stayed there, preparing to rest for two days before returning to the elven tree sea by land.

Next, Charles plans to visit Carl Benz, the elf who built cars, and then return to the Marcross Group of Companies, then go to Greentown to preside over the opening ceremony of the Peace Mall, and finally return to Osmanthus City.

But Charles might as well be looking for something, but things found him.

Not long after nightfall, the innkeeper knocked on Charles's room door with an invitation.

Charles opened the invitation, looked at it, pouted, and then followed what was written on the invitation to the downstairs room.

He didn't expect Conradin to want to see him, but it's not something incomprehensible, now Conradin is short of money, Charles has money, it's as simple as that.

Although he is the crown prince and has a lot of money, he is currently in the expansion stage, and a large amount of working capital is used to invest in fixed assets, and the dragons only need cash, so he has no choice.

Charles entered Conradin's room, sat down on the sofa, and said to him lazily: "I won't taunt you about not seeing my butler back then, it's boring." ”

"If you have anything you want to sell, just take it out, and I'll buy it at the right price. ”

Annoyed by Charles's straightforwardness, Conradin took a few breaths to calm down, then took out a stack of parchment and said equally straight to the point: "I intend to sell you a stake in these properties." ”

Charles glanced at the farm deed at the top, and saw that it said that only 40% of the farm's shares were sold, and immediately stood up and left the room.

Conradin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Charles to say that he would leave, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to keep it.

Charles said without looking back: "If you ask for someone, you have to show some sincerity, are you really a fool for others?"

After he finished speaking, he left Conradin's room, complaining in his heart that this thing was still playing tricks at this time.

Just now, the farm only sold forty percent of the shares, bought it and had no control at all, and could only collect a little dry income every year.

Even if the farm has a good harvest, Charles has a lot of ways to transfer the profits, such as buying the cattle and farming tools of a particular chamber of commerce at a tenfold high price, and then making the accounts into small losses, and finally the other shareholders can only stare dryly.
