Chapter 409: Benefits (1)
Translator: 549690339
Wanhao wasn’t angered by Smith’s words, because Smith was indeed speaking the truth. The cause of this incident was indeed due to The Grudge between Sheila hotel and Grand Duke Ryan.
If it wasn’t for The Grudge between the Sheila family and Lai en, Zhao Hai wouldn’t have become enemies with Lai en. If Zhao Hai didn’t become enemies with Lai en, Lai en wouldn’t have chased after Zhao Hai all over the world. He wouldn’t have thought of such a trick to deal with Zhao Hai.
Hence, Wanhao was in full agreement with Smith’s words. Besides, there were only benefits and no disadvantages to working with Smith and the others this time around. It did not matter if he lowered his voice a little. In the end, this was the difference between merchants and old-time aristocrats.
The old noble families only cared about their dignity. If anyone dared to offend them, they would fight back with all their might. They would fight to the death with the other party. Other than that, they only cared about benefits. In their eyes, if an old noble family did not have dignity, then they could not be called a noble family. This was a temperament that had settled down over the years. It had been integrated into their souls and could not be erased.
But businessmen were different. There was a line in Lao Bai’s poem that was right. Businessmen valued profit more than separation. To businessmen, profit was the most important. They could let go of everything else. As long as they could get benefits, sometimes, they could even let go of their dignity.
Therefore, Wan Hao smiled and said, ” you’re right, Sir Castellan. It’s because of this that I brought a small gift for miss melgen to calm her nerves. I hope you won’t reject it. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know and say everything I know. After all, I’ll still need to rely on you this time. &Quot;
Smith looked at Wanhao with a smile and said, ” I’ll accept the gift on melgen’s behalf. Tell me about your plan. Today, I wanted to invite little hai over to listen, but little hai refused to do anything, so I could only forget about it. However, he said that if there’s anything, as long as you tell him, he will definitely help. After all, this time, Grand Duke Ryan has chased him quite miserably. &Quot;
Wan Hao smiled and said, ” Speaking of which, I’m really sorry for Mr. Zhao Hai this time. It was originally a matter between our Sheila family and Lai en, but we dragged you into it. This was really not our intention. &Quot;
Smith looked at Wanhao with a profound look and smiled.”You should never treat a person like little hai as a fool. A person like him is worthy of your sincere friendship. If you don’t show your true heart, then you can never make him treat you as one of his own, am I right?”
Wanhao looked at Smith’s expression and smiled bitterly. Although he had quite a bit of power in the family, the ones who made the real decision were the elders in the family. The test for Zhao Hai was also made by those elders. Although Wanhao didn’t agree, the words of a store manager that was sent out still had limited weight.
Although Zhao Hai was treating them well, no one knew what he was thinking. Zhao Hai was willing to do business with them for profit. If Zhao Hai really wanted to rely on them, he wouldn’t have given the majority of the business to the Smith family.
Wanhao was certain that Zhao Hai would definitely give Smith more benefits. If it wasn’t for the previous incident, Zhao Hai might have given their family even more benefits. For Sheila’s family, they would be able to soar once again in the future. It was a pity that they had missed this opportunity.
When Smith saw Wanhao’s expression, he understood what was going on. Actually, the family’s attitude towards Zhao Hai was not as good as Smith’s. It was just that Smith admired Zhao Hai more, which was why he treated Zhao Hai so well. From the looks of it now, Zhao Hai’s return to him was really generous.
Wanhao took a deep breath and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he told Smith about how his family was going to deal with Grand Duke Ryan.
If the Sheila family wanted to deal with Duke Ryan, they would have to get the approval of the Rosen Empire’s royal family and the other old nobles. Duke Ryan’s arrogant behavior had caused dissatisfaction in the royal family. The Sheila family took advantage of this opportunity to move the royal family with benefits so that they would no longer interfere in Duke Ryan’s Affairs. This was equivalent to taking away Duke Ryan’s biggest backer. Duke Ryan had become a duckweed without roots. It would be much easier for them to deal with Grand Duke Ryan.
After dealing with the Roson royal family, of course, there were also the nobles who were close to Ryan. Ryan was not a fool. He did not become an isolated official just because of the favor of the Roson royal family. He also made friends with many big nobles, which was also what the Roson royal family was dissatisfied with.
What was the most terrifying thing about the Sheila family? Of course, it was money. They had money, and they could use money to buy many things, such as the support of the great nobles.
They were almost done with the first stage of the plan. Now, they just needed to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Duke Ryan. They couldn’t just start a war with Duke Ryan. They needed to find an excuse so that the Rosen Empire wouldn’t help Duke Ryan openly. For example, Duke Ryan had committed an unforgivable crime. In this way, the Rosen Empire could openly abandon Duke Ryan without anyone saying anything.
Originally, the Leon family had wanted to spend a large amount of money to hire a noble to Sue Duke Ryan. This way, the other nobles and the royal family of the Roson Empire would have an excuse.
