A mere one hundred thousand taels of silver is like winning a 50% share of the polo league.
It can only be said that such a clever and plundering method is really crude.
Jia Rong was not angry. At least the other party was still planning to take the money, so he was wary of going too far.
On the other hand, the other distinguished disciples present had angry faces and angry faces.
The middle-aged steward of the eldest prince's residence put forward too harsh conditions, just like cutting them off.
"The game is about to start. How about we watch the game first and then talk?"
At this moment, the noise and noise outside gradually grew louder.
Jia Rong stood up, walked to the viewing rail on one side of the box, smiled softly and said, "There's no need to rush such a big thing!"
The middle-aged steward wanted to say something else, but when he met Jia Rong's deep and calm eyes, his heart trembled and he couldn't say anything.
All the noble disciples also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time and turned to look at the competition venue.
Soon, everyone was attracted by the fierce and exciting competition and temporarily forgot their unhappiness.
The Polo League is already in its second session. Each polo team has experienced more than a season of hard work, and their strength and level have improved rapidly.
No, the two polo teams on the field seem to be scattered, but in fact the formation is quite strict and can even be said to be strict.
The horses were very well behaved when charging. The fist-sized polo almost kept flying in the air and almost never fell.
There are blocks, responses, transfers, sneak attacks, etc. If there were no casualties, all the polo players would be spinning around a polo, saying that the game in front of them is a battle between two well-trained cavalry teams.
Ducheng.
The riding skills of all participating polo players have reached a certain level of proficiency.
Not to mention that it is so exaggerated as to almost achieve the unity of man and horse when sitting down on a horse, at least it can be controlled like an arm and a finger.
A game didn't take much time, just two sticks of incense, and the two teams ended in a draw.
The competition was so exciting and intense that in addition to subconsciously cheering and shouting, the audience was all staring at the competition venue, and the audience in the box was no exception.
The two sticks of incense went on continuously, but when the game was over, the audience felt that they were still unfinished, as if only a moment had passed.
The feeling of holding one's breath, rapid heartbeat, and surging blood is really addictive.
"Wonderful game, it's a pity that I didn't play!"
Jia Rong, who was half leaning in front of the viewing rail, opened his mouth to break the silence in the box.
All the distinguished disciples rolled their eyes. Although they knew what Jia Rong said made sense, they just couldn't stand his arrogance.
The middle-aged steward of the eldest prince's palace responded: "It's a pity that I didn't get to see General Jia's wonderful performance!"
"Nothing to be sorry for!"
Jia Rong said calmly: "Do you know how much money can be made from such an important game?"
Before the middle-aged manager could speak, he said to himself: "More than thirty thousand!"
"If there are wealthy businessmen who spend a lot of money betting, this number can grow to nearly 50,000!"
Having said this, he looked back at the middle-aged manager and said leisurely: "Do you think the investment fee of 100,000 taels is a lot?"
"That's right, one hundred thousand taels of silver is at most the income of one round of the league!"
Seeing Jia Rong's words, some of the noble disciples who did not dare to hum at first couldn't help but speak up.
"You know, there are eighteen teams in the First Division League alone, and there are nine games in one league round!"
"Not talking about the competition, just the investment in the construction of the stadium and the investment in peripheral ancillary facilities cost almost more than 500,000 taels!"
"If it weren't for our desperate encouragement, how could the nobles and military generals' families in the city be so happy to form their own polo team and then participate in the competition in the league?"
"One hundred thousand taels is too little. We don't have the guts to object, but how can each family agree so easily?"
"It's not easy to make a stable living these days, so you can't give up casually!"
"..."
There were many words, although no one clearly stated that he did not agree, but the meaning was similar.
The middle-aged steward's face was very ugly, but he didn't lose his temper or anything like that.
The eldest prince asked him to come here mainly for testing.
After all, the interests involved in the polo league are staggering, and the people in charge are all from noble families.
It can be said that the polo league is one of the stable financial resources of the Xungui Group.
Not only is it a matter of money, if the eldest prince successfully participates in the shares, it will appear to outsiders that the Xungui Group is leaning towards him.
Just think about something like this and you will know how risky it is.
The emperor and Jin Jin are not dead yet, and the eldest prince is so eager to build his power. If something goes wrong, he may be completely ruined in the future.
Besides, Xungui Group will not place bets easily.
The abolition of the crown prince twenty years ago was a serious trap for the Xungui Group, but now they will not take sides easily.
"Your Highness is not just offering money, there are also benefits!"
After a while, seeing that the noble disciples present had no intention of continuing to speak, the middle-aged steward said loudly: "If the eldest prince buys a stake in the Polo League, it will help the Polo League to be promoted to the entire Daqian!"
"Think about it, if Tianjin, Jining, Huai'an and other places all have polo league venues, how much revenue will there be in a season?"
Those words immediately caused the breathing of all the distinguished disciples present to become rapid.
The management of the Polo League has actually always wanted to expand the scale of the Polo League and make the profit plate bigger.
However, local relations are not easy to handle, and the strength of local snakes is no joke.
Maybe they don't have the ability to accomplish anything, but they have the ability to do bad things.
In addition, how to share profits with the local powerful factions newly added to the management is also a very troublesome matter.
Of course, the Polo League has just been established for its second term, so there is no need to be so anxious.
However, after the league in Beijing stabilizes, it will naturally start large-scale expansion. This is a certain thing.
Now that they heard that the eldest prince could help with the rapid expansion, all the distinguished disciples present felt that they would be lying if they said they were not interested.
Only Jia Rong remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The middle-aged steward had been carefully observing Jia Rong's reaction. Seeing his behavior, he couldn't help but ask: "If General Jia has any suggestions, you can put them forward directly!"
Hearing this, all the distinguished disciples present looked over.
Jia Rong smiled softly and said calmly: "I don't have high opinions, but I have some shallow opinions. I guess you won't be happy to hear it!"
“If you have any ideas, just say so!”
"I don't trust your Excellency and the business capabilities of His Highness behind you..."
