The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 963

[Chapter 963: Completely Gone]

“Contribute some of our humble efforts to help the country through this difficult time.”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he was also waiting for the old man’s answer.

“The world is unpredictable. As a king, you can be rebelled by these ministers. As a minister, I am afraid that you can only be played around by the emperor.” After saying this, the old man also showed a sigh. “

Father, please don’t say that. The emperor is equal to us. The emperor also recognizes us as friends. We work together every day. The emperor is only respected because of his status.” Lin Tian also quickly refuted his father.

“Since you have made this decision, I will naturally not obstruct you. I just hope that you can treat your choice of this path well and take it seriously in the future.” After the old man finished speaking, he drank another sip of tea.

“The family has stored seven tons of cotton this time, and only sold two tons. Now there are five tons in our warehouse. If you want it, I can take out five tons for you now.” The old man also told Lin Tian the truth.

“We need ten tons of cotton. Can we buy the remaining five tons from other merchants? Most of this cotton is necessary. We must get ten tons no matter what.” Lin Tian was also a little nervous.

“If we have to get that number, I’m afraid we need to buy it back from other merchants at a high price, otherwise other merchants will not sell it. After all, for a scarce item like cotton, everyone imports it from foreign countries.

The price will naturally not be low, and the round-trip travel expenses and costs are also very high. If he offers a high price, these people will probably agree.” After saying these words, the father was also waiting for Lin Tian’s reaction. The old man’s

words were so obvious that Lin Tian knew that there was not much money left in his family. If he used this money to buy these five tons of cotton, he would probably have to sell everything.

Lin Tian naturally knew what his father meant at this time. He knew that these things were his father’s lifelong hard work, so he was naturally unwilling to give up these items easily. Faced with the difficult choice before him, Lin Tian still chose to save the country from danger.

“I wonder how much silver is needed to buy the five tons of cotton we need? Is our family’s wealth enough to buy these things?” Lin Tian did not dare to say a word, after all, this has already involved the foundation of the Lin family.

“If we buy all these tons of cotton from them, the price will change from 15 taels to 25 taels, which is basically a 50% increase in price. Moreover, the cotton we bought has already left us with very little.

If we want to buy more cotton, I’m afraid we need to take out all our family assets. To get enough, we may have to sell a few houses, otherwise the money will not be enough.” The old man sighed heavily after he finished speaking. “

Father, let me think about it for a night, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning. After all, this has touched our foundation. These are all your life’s hard work. Naturally, we can’t let them be sacrificed in this defense of the country.”

Lin Tian also put himself in their shoes and took all these factors into consideration. No one wanted to let his father’s life’s hard work go to waste overnight.

At this time, his father’s attitude had changed significantly. “If you don’t believe in Yan State enough, you should not do this position. Come back and do business with me honestly. If you believe in Yan State, don’t have a single doubt.

Donate all these things to the country. Money is something outside of the body. Don’t we businessmen understand this truth? Money in your own hands will be more tossed around. The cost may be a little high this time, but of course the return is also high.”

“It depends on how you grasp it. Now the entire Lin family is up to you. I am old, and I can help you a little. I also hope that you can make a serious and careful reply.” After the old man finished speaking, he drank all the water in the teacup. He

also closed his eyes and waited for Lin Tian’s answer.

The fast horse censor naturally knew the current situation of the Lin family. If the Lin family paid all these properties, the Lin family might go bankrupt. But at present, the palace may not be able to come up with so much money. Faced with the current situation, the fast horse censor was also confused.

Looking at the two people in the stalemate in front of him, the fast horse censor also pulled Lin Tian’s sleeve. The fast horse censor also shook his head, indicating that he would not let Lin Tian take this risk.

Just now, Lin Tian was still hesitant, but now Lin Tian seemed to have figured out a reason.

There are gains and losses in doing business. This time, putting all his own blood and sweat in front of the country will be a profitable income. Therefore, Lin Tian is also determined to serve the State of Yan. The cotton this time must be paid by the Lin family.

“Father, I have thought about the whole thing. We must pay the money this time, and we must complete these affairs as soon as possible. We can’t delay anything in Yan State, otherwise it will put the founding of the country into greater risks.”

After Lin Tian said these words, he closed his eyes and dared not look directly at his father.

For a long time, his father did not reply. Lin Tian naturally knew that his father was making the last struggle in his heart.

“Okay.” After a moment, the father only said this one word, which was enough to show his father’s trust in his son.

“Thank you, father, my son will definitely win glory for the Lin family and bring honor to our Lin family.” After Lin Tian finished speaking, he ran to his father’s side and knelt down and kowtowed three times.

“Now go find the butler. He has all the financial reports of our Lin family. You don’t need to discuss this matter with me anymore. Everything will be discussed with the butler.” After saying this, the old man stood up and left.

At this time, the wind in Youzhu Pavilion became colder, and now only Lin Tian and Kuaima Yushi were left on the scene.

“Master, I think this matter is unnecessary. If the Lin family can’t come up with the money, the country can issue some national bonds and make some loans to the private sector, which can obviously solve this problem.” Kuaima Yushi also added quickly.

“We can’t do that, otherwise we will bring trouble to ourselves. If we entrust the financial report, we must let Zhili Neishi pass this plan, which will arouse their suspicion. Therefore, the issuance of national bonds is naturally not allowed.”

Lin Tian, who considered all aspects, said this, and Kuaima Yushi also understood Lin Tian’s good intentions.

“Master, you are really thoughtful. Yan will definitely be grateful to you in the future. With you here, there is no need to worry about Yan not being strong. When Yan becomes truly rich and strong, we will definitely take back all the dignity we lost before.”
