Chapter 1953 The Principle of Voluntariness
As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, there was an uproar again. Today's discussion was originally about the business of football betting.
No one expected that Prince Ji would start another business, and it sounded like it would be a big business.
They already knew what words like investment and dividend meant, and many of the words spoken by King of Age were accepted by them.
However, this business sounds risky, and the amount required is a bit high, starting at 10,000 strings of cash.
This inevitably caused them to start talking.
Ten thousand strings of cash is not a small amount. Their parents’ annual salary was less than ten thousand strings of cash, unless the family property was taken into account.
People say that a single investment is worth a thousand gold coins, but that was only a thousand copper coins.
This time they are really going to spend a lot of money, gold.
“It’s okay, everyone can tell each other when they go back, and those who don’t want to can choose not to participate.
We have been playing together for more than ten years. Every time I want to make money, the first person I think of is you, and this time is no exception.
This king knows that the amount this time is a bit larger and different from the previous rules.
It’s just that this prince thinks that since we want to make money, we should all make money together. I don’t know if this is just wishful thinking on the part of this prince.
If that is really the case, I will not say anything more next time.
But don't worry, we follow the principle of voluntariness in this matter. I will not force anyone to participate. Please let us know."
Li Shen saw that some people were hesitant, after all, the amount was quite huge, so he quickly explained to everyone that it was all voluntary and there would be no forced participation.
I am a regular noble and a legitimate prince recognized by the royal family. How can I do such a thing to force others?
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is thinking of us for such a good thing, so we must participate.
As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and risks mean greater rewards.
What's more, all these years when we were doing business, it was the prince who provided the money and effort, and we didn't spend a penny, yet we even got dividends. How can we feel about this?
We will definitely participate in this investment." Cheng Chusi stood up and shouted.
"That's right, I will not give up this opportunity to make a lot of money. There is no such thing as making money without spending money.
In the past, His Royal Highness Prince Ji showed us pity and allowed us to live a life of luxury. Now that we are all well-off, what does this ten thousand strings of cash mean to us?"
Fang Yiai was not willing to be outdone, so he stood up and echoed him.
Then, the playboys who were close to Li Shen stood up one by one and spoke from their own experience, reigniting the atmosphere.
Li Shen didn't say anything. There was no need for him to say anything at this time. If he said too much, it would seem that he wanted it too much.
He believed that as long as these people were not fools, they would pay money, otherwise he would not take them to play in the future.
After a while, Li Shen coughed lightly:
"Well! All right, you can think about this matter slowly after you go back. As I said before, I will abide by the principle of voluntariness and will not force you.
Don’t say that I deceived you after you lose money.
Next, I will talk about some things about football betting.
We also need you to maintain order in every football betting area to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
The time point for buying wins and losses is a quarter of an hour before the start of the fortune-seeking event. Two games are scheduled every day. The 32 teams are first divided into four groups to play a round-robin tournament.
The stadium also requires you to send some troops over to prevent accidents from happening due to the excitement of the people watching the game.
If an accident occurs, it must be suppressed in time to prevent greater casualties.
As for the tickets, they are much cheaper in the early stage, 100 wen for the front row and 20 wen for the back row.
We will re-price it after our official stadium is built.
These are the things to note. You must pay attention to the safety of the personnel. The rest is not that important."
Li Shen explained the tasks that the playboys were responsible for, and he had already written a plan for the remaining guessing matters for Wang Hongfu, and they just needed to execute it according to what he wrote.
The dudes below nodded one by one to remember that they would discuss and arrange these matters on their own later, and it was impossible for Li Shen to give them detailed guidance.
"Does everyone remember it?" Li Shen asked again after a long time.
"We will follow the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Everyone saluted.
"Well, let's celebrate the official opening of our football betting competition. May we have good fortune and prosperity!"
Li Shen shouted and waved his hand, and Shitou beside him immediately shouted:
"Let's have a banquet~~~~"
Following Shitou's order, the maids lined up and walked into the yard, each holding a tray with delicious dishes on it.
There were also eunuchs offering fine wine to each table.
The food in Prince Ji's Mansion has always been famous far and wide, and today is no exception. There is everything you can think of, including mountain beasts, cloud swallows, land cattle and sheep, seafood from the sea, monkey heads, bird's nests, shark fins, bear paws, dried scallops, and deer tails.
Today, this group of playboys are in for a treat, as they not only have delicacies from land and sea, but also various fine wines from Prince Ji's mansion.
"Today, everyone can enjoy a drink. I will provide you with enough wine and food. Everyone can enjoy the food and drinks. Come, I will share a drink with you all."
As the person with the highest status, Li Shen raised his glass and said a few opening remarks.
"Respectfully, His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Everyone raised their glasses.
After Li Shen finished drinking, he waved to the side, and immediately a group of geishas and a group of beautiful girls came in from the side door, and began to play musical instruments, sing, and dance.
Everyone was eating delicious food, tasting fine wine, and enjoying the singing and dancing. Everyone felt overwhelmed with beauty. This was real enjoyment.
Li Shen sat at a table with a group of royal family members, and the playboys also came over to toast him frequently.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, can the investment you just mentioned really make a lot of money?" Li Hui asked curiously at the dinner table.
"Erlang, don't be rude. Whether you make money or not depends on your ability. How can the prince guarantee it?" Li Chongyi scolded hurriedly.
"Haha, cousin, it's okay. It's normal for Erlang to ask this. I can only say that if you can make money, you will definitely make a lot of money.
But there is nothing in this world that is guaranteed to make money, otherwise it wouldn’t be your turn or mine, and the court would do it itself, like the salt and iron business, right?”
Li Shen waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Your Highness is right, brother. Actually, I don't mean to backtrack. I just want to ask, if you really make a lot of money, I plan to invest more."
Li Hui nodded and explained.
"Erlang, don't invest too much this time. Ten thousand strings will do. This is my first time doing this, and I can't guarantee that I'll make money.
Next time when I am absolutely sure, I will tell you that we are all family and I will not cheat you."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he added in his mind, I won’t cheat you too much.
"Well... okay then. I will invest 10,000 strings of cash this time. I don't know if I can get this 10,000 strings of cash from Aye. Brother, you have to help me talk to him when the time comes."
Li Hui said this and looked at Li Chongyi.
