Chapter 1388: Commercial Secrets

Upon hearing the word "money," Ausilige became interested.

"Oh, what brilliant insight does Brother Fang have?" Ausilige laughed.

Fang Dalong gestured toward the Gladiator Arena, and Ausilige glanced at the dueling ground; regarding the words of these two Longyan, he was still relatively trusting.

Whatever business he did himself would result in a loss, but doing business with these two Longyan would never have such problems.

Ausilige raised a hand, and someone immediately hurried over; he ordered casually: "Stop this match for now, just say they'll fight tomorrow. If those guests haven't seen enough, tell them to buy tickets and come back tomorrow."

"But it's still early, what if these guests cause trouble?"

Ausilige widened his small eyes: "Cause trouble?"

"If they dare to cause trouble, just mention my father is Richard."

"Let them go cause trouble with my father, understand?"

That person nodded, indicating they understood; Richard was the Agent for France here, and the power in his hands was immense.

Although these people who came to watch the show had anger in their hearts, facing the French Agent, the person with the most power in this Colonial Area, they could only be angry but dare not speak.

Not long after, the guests in the arena gradually dispersed.

As they left, some whispered curses: "What's so great about relying on your dad? Damn it!"

Unfortunately, Ausilige did not hear it, otherwise he would definitely have let them know that relying on one's dad is truly great.

The duel was called off, and the two prisoners were stunned, not knowing what had happened.

That woman with Longyan features looked at the three people still standing on the high platform, her eyes flickering slightly.

Ausilige looked at Fang Dalong and said indifferently: "You can tell me now."

"It's very simple: sell this place to me, and you will get money," Fang Dalong said calmly.

Wanshang looked at Fang Dalong in disbelief; buy this place?

Ausilige would definitely not agree; anyone with eyes could see the value of this place, and now was the time when business was most booming. Although Ausilige was a bit foolish, he was not truly stupid.

He would absolutely not agree to such a thing.

Ausilige looked at Fang Dalong as if looking at a clown and laughed: "Although I look a bit dull usually, do you think I'm really dull? Sell it to you?"

"This is my most profitable time right now."

Wanshang glanced at Fang Dalong, as if to say: See, this kind of thing is just not realistic.

Although rejected, Fang Dalong was not discouraged in the slightest, but instead said: "If you sell it to me, I can tell you one thing; not only will you get money, but you can also make your father look at you with new eyes!"

Ausilige was taken aback, and thinking of his old father, he couldn't help but shiver.

He was a good-for-nothing in his father's eyes, and his siblings were all more accomplished than him; he had been kicked out of the house this time because his father found him very unpleasant to look at.

If he could make that old father who found him so unpleasant look at him with favor, could he be transferred back?

It was just too boring here.

Ausilige draped his arm over Fang Dalong's shoulder and said: "Good brother, this matter isn't impossible to discuss, but you have to tell me what news you know first."

"Something that can make my father look at me with new eyes."

Fang Dalong looked at him, a smile touching the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing much, just that I know of a recent trade between Longyan and the British."

Upon hearing this, Wanshang immediately understood Fang Dalong's meaning; this was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Not only could they buy this place, but they could also leak that news to the French.

A trade between the British and Longyan?

Ausilige frowned; he couldn't guess what it was, but he knew his father was currently fighting the British until their dog brains were almost coming out over a gold mine.

He was the one who had run into his father's bad luck at that time and was kicked out.

Thinking of this, Ausilige narrowed his almost invisible eyes and said: "What kind of trade is it?"

Fang Dalong glanced at the Gladiator Arena, and Ausilige understood his meaning.

Richard wore a faint smile and said: "You have to tell me what the news is first; I have to at least confirm this news is accurate, otherwise wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"

"Besides, you two are still running around here, having done so many things unfavorable to Longyan; you don't still think you are Longyan, do you?" Ausilige said with some wariness.

He was half-believing in his heart; he believed in making money, but how did these two Longyan know such news, and why would they tell them, the French?

Fang Dalong laughed, leaned into Ausilige's ear, and whispered: "Brother, you also know that I am considered a traitor to Longyan now."

"To tell you the truth, although we brothers have secretly sold many of Longyan's strategic materials, like soap and such."

"But we truly look down on those British; ever since we found out our City Lord, that old immortal Qingyang Shuo, had actually lost his mind and wanted to trade with those inhuman things from Britain, we brothers decided we must ruin it for him."

Hearing this, Ausilige believed half of it, and immediately asked: "How do you know such a secret?"

Fang Dalong looked at him with an expression of looking at a fool: "Have you forgotten what I do in Longyan?"

"Have you forgotten how you bought those strategic materials of Longyan City from my hands?"

Ausilige thought about it; thinking carefully, Wanshang and Fang Dalong seemed to be high-level figures in Longyan City.

Although these two were merchants by status, they were always able to obtain some of Longyan City's strategic materials: soap, mosquito repellent, and even some miraculous medicines for treating colds.

These things were almost non-existent in America where materials were scarce; only Longyan City had them. Those immigrants who came to America from Europe had already been developing here for many years.

They had a little wealth in their hands, and remembering their previous lives in Europe, the soap used by those Nobles was something they hadn't dared to even think about before.

But now, they wanted to use it but couldn't make it; fortunately, Longyan City brought these good things. These things were only sold by Longyan, and although expensive, it was acceptable.

Some even said that only by using this was it a symbol of a French Noble.

So it naturally led to a large group of people scrambling to buy Perfume; someone once said that Longyan City could make a fortune just by selling Perfume here.

Now that Longyan and France were on bad terms, these things were cut off.

The price of these things had almost reached one Gold Coin per bar of soap, which was why Ausilige understood soap to be a strategic material of Longyan City.

It was said that this thing was also very rare in Longyan and was a great weapon for making money.

Daring to resell this in Longyan City now, they must definitely be high-level figures of Longyan City or Longyan with power in their hands.

Ausilige glanced at Fang Dalong and Wanshang and nodded; indeed, the two men's appearance and dress were indeed like merchants who could know secrets of this level in Longyan City.

"Brother Fang, if that's the case, then this information of yours is too cheap. Since you are all selling this kind of information, it wouldn't be because of the Longyan in the Gladiator Arena, would it?"
