After Nangong Shouzhong finished speaking, he crawled on the ground and buried his head deeply.
At this time, he seemed like a desperate gambler who had taken out all his chips, was penniless, and threw his last copper on the gambling table.
All the personnel were exhausted, and all he could do was pray for good luck to be on his side.
The person who decides whether this good luck will come is not God, but the Crown Prince of the Qin Empire in front of him.
Li Chen looked at Nangong Shouzhong who was kneeling in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, noncommittal.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
Tuk Tuk Tuk...
One after another, in the quiet Xi Zheng Hall, apart from the sound of his own heartbeat, Nangong Shouzhong could only hear this extremely rhythmic thumping sound.
Li Chen remained silent, and the longer this silence lasted, the greater the pressure it put on Nangong Shouzhong.
As time passed, Nangong Shouzhong's mentality also underwent subtle changes.
From the initial nervousness, to the uneasiness later, and now the fear.
That fear was infinitely amplified in Nangong Shouzhong's heart. Until the back, cold sweat seeped out from Nangong Shouzhong's forehead, gathered at the tip of his nose, and fell drop by drop on the ground of Xi Zheng Palace. His face was strange because of the flow of sweat.
It was extremely itchy, but Nangong Shouzhong didn't even dare to wipe away the sweat.
His body was shaking like chaff. In this unparalleled torment, Nangong Shouzhong waited for who knows how long before he finally heard Li Chen's voice.
"Actually, for me, this is a very losing business in the short term."
Li Chen raised his hand and said, "You should stand up first and answer."
Nangong Shouzhong's heart, which had been hanging in his throat all this time, suddenly fell back. However, he still did not dare to take it lightly and stood up honestly. I don't know if it was because he was too nervous or because he had been kneeling for a long time. Nangong Shouzhong just stood up.
When I was walking, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that Nangong Shouzhong was standing still, Li Chen continued: "In business, some make a profit in a short period of time and leave without considering the future business, while others are focused on long-term cooperation and do not seek two profits at a time.
Instead of focusing on short-term gains, we should take a long-term view and establish long-term cooperative relationships.”
"The former accumulates quickly, while the latter has a solid foundation. What does Boss Nangong think?"
Nangong Shouzhong, who stood and listened obediently, not daring to let go of a single word, quickly replied: "Your Highness is wise, and ordinary people are not as good as the worst!"
With a chuckle, Li Chen said: "I plan to make a long-term deal with you now. If you don't make any profit in the short term, or even lose a little, it won't be a big problem, but you will definitely bring long-term benefits to me, right?
?”
Nangong Shouzhong knelt down with a pop and said in a trembling voice: "The common people are willing to go through fire and water, and they will never let His Highness down!"
After saying that, Nangong Shouzhong gritted his teeth. He knew that he must show his use value as soon as possible, and the greatest expression of his use value was to help His Royal Highness solve practical problems.
Thinking of this, Nangong Shouzhong took the initiative and said: "Your Highness, the common people have some ideas about the national debt."
Li Chen said with great interest: "Tell me and listen."
After a brief pause and sorting out his thoughts, Nangong Shouzhong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the main purchase objects of national debt are actually private businessmen and ordinary people. Although wealthy businessmen such as grassroots have considerable assets, they are still the most important in the world.
In front of the wealth, there is still no comparison.”
