"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Cage was exiled to the city of Lantis."
"What? Lantis, that small city with only a few thousand people?" The people who heard the news obviously didn't believe it.
"It has spread among the aristocratic circles." A thin guy next to him whispered.
"Fuck, if someone as outstanding as Prince Cage is exiled, who will be able to resist the attack of the Baiting Empire in the future." The big man who heard the news slammed the table angrily.
"Keep your voice down, this is the decision of His Majesty the King." The thin man was a little scared.
"Alas!" The middle-aged big man became powerless.
"Prince Cage will leave the imperial capital soon."
"Who said that."
"It's true, His Majesty the King has ordered that Prince Cage will leave in the near future."
"Our patron saint is leaving like this, where is he going?"
"Lantis."
"What?" The old man covered his mouth when he heard the news. "What a pity, what a pity." The old man muttered to himself.
"I hope your Highness can overcome the difficulties."
"Damn it, is our Prince Cage so envied? Without him, who would remember us low-level soldiers? Without him, who would ask for compensation for our brothers who died in the Eastern War? If anyone dares to make your Highness uncomfortable, I will fight for your Highness even if I have to."
Every corner of the city is discussing the time when Cage will leave. As ordinary people at the bottom, they are naturally reluctant to let him go. After all, the imperial capital has Cage in charge, so there is no need to worry about the revenge of the Baiting Empire. If Cage leaves, these things will be hard to say. However, it is completely different for the upper nobles. Some have mixed feelings of love and hate, and some want him to leave immediately.
As the person involved, Cage seems to have nothing happened in the mansion. Every day he trains the guards and prepares to leave.
"Watson, have we listed the detailed income of these industries?"
"Yes, Your Highness, all have been done according to your requirements."
"Copy it and send it one by one according to the list."
"Yes, Your Highness." Watson didn't understand why these businesses were auctioned off when they were doing well. Although they didn't have to worry about money now, a steady stream of income was better than living off the mountain. Watson didn't understand why Your Highness chose to go to that poor place.
In less than a day, the top nobles and various forces in the entire imperial capital received the news that Cage was selling his industries. The entire upper class was shocked. This was such a huge amount of money. No one in the entire empire could eat it all. All forces held an emergency meeting to discuss the purchase of Cage's industries, not to mention the casinos. The money earned every day could guarantee the living expenses of a middle-level noble for ten years. Such a large sum of money was just given up. Everyone didn't understand. Whether they understood it or not, it would be a fool not to have such a huge benefit. What is the most appropriate price to buy it? This is really too troublesome. Other forces must be considering it.
Cage adopted the bidding method, that is, according to the entire analysis, he asked this group of people to give a purchase price and a way to pay the fee, so as to ensure that this group of people could raise the price and make a lot of money.
Princess Jenna urgently summoned Cage to the palace, and Harris was also in the palace.
"Cage, why don't you name a price and I'll buy it." Jenna said.
"Yes, brother Qi, we are brothers, why don't you sell it to me?" Harris also persuaded on the side.
"This amount is too large, you can't eat it. If you force it, it will be very disadvantageous to you. Other forces will not only hate you, but also watch your every move. If you don't have absolute strength, it's better not to force it. If you want, I can transfer all the technology of the barbecue restaurant." Cage said with a smile.
"Barbecue restaurant?" Jenna was very surprised why this inconspicuous restaurant was mentioned.
"Yes, don't underestimate barbecue. The annual net profit is about one million gold coins. I will sell it to you for two million gold coins, and it includes the secret recipe for barbecue." Cage threw out a very tempting thing. Harris knew that all the condiments were provided by Cage. They couldn't make the same barbecue by themselves. They could make money just by selling these ingredients. Moreover, many small places are now asking Cage to join. The franchise fee is also a considerable amount.
"But I don't have so much money to give you now. Can you give me less, brother Qi?" Harris said.
"Harris, as a brother, I don't want to lie to you. I was going to sell the barbecue restaurant for 10 million gold coins. The prime minister and others were very interested, but because of the price, the negotiations were suspended. In a few days, when they have discussed it, it will be difficult to buy it again." Cage pretended to be powerless, making Harris feel that Cage was really good to him.
Harris saw Jenna's eyes signaling to him and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll try my best to get the money together. We can sign the contract anytime."
"Anytime is fine. Since Harris wants it, I'll turn down all the people who want it and keep it for you, but you have to be quick. If you're slow, I'm afraid you won't get anything."
"Okay."
"Cage, can't you sell your polo team to Harris?" Jenna asked. The prices of hotels, casinos, and clubs are too high. They can't afford it. The polo team should be considered a lot of expensive industries. They should be able to afford it.
"Instead of selling it to Harris, it's better for Harris to form a polo team himself. I can say hello to Prince Marshall and allow him to join. This way, I can save some money. If I buy it, it's really meaningless."
Cage's words made Jenna keep calculating and felt that it made sense. In fact, she didn't know that Cage didn't want to sell it to her at all. The polo team was also a huge source of income. Although the cost of watching the game was not high, it was not much money, but the betting on the outside and the handicap opened by oneself were quite a large amount of money. However, the current scope was only popular in the fifth-tier and fourth-tier cities. If all cities had a team, the economic benefits would be immeasurable.
Cage didn't care about all these industries. They were just ways to make money in the early stage. Now he didn't have to worry about money. This war alone made him nearly 200 million gold coins.
Vidi personally went to Cage's house to inquire about the auction price.
"Your Highness, for the sake of our relationship, can you give me a reserve price?" Vidi begged.
"I'm afraid that won't work. It will make others think that I'm being unfair." Cage smiled at the anxious Vidi, "Which part of my property do you want to buy? I can give you a suggested price, which is the price in my mind. If it's lower than this price, I won't sell it."
"Hotels and clubs." Vidi knew that the number of casinos was too large and he couldn't afford it at all. It was estimated that several major forces would have to buy it together and then distribute it according to the amount of each investment.
"The hotel needs 50 million gold coins, and the club needs at least 60 million."
"Your Highness, this amount is too large. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to pay it all at once." Vidi said.
"I don't think you can pay it all at once. You can pay it in installments. If you pay part of it every natural month, I will charge 15% interest. If you pay it in installments over several years, you must pay 6% interest every year starting from the second year."
Vidi calculated carefully and found it to be reasonable. He could afford the price. He would go back and let the elders discuss how to pay it. The rest had nothing to do with him. "Your Highness, are you determined to go to Atlantis City?"
"Yes." Cage said firmly.
