I, the heir of the great Eastern nation

Although the title of protection did resonate, Liu Zhao did not feel any further changes in his body.

"It seems that we are on the right track, but the progress is far from sufficient."

With a clearer understanding of the situation, Liu Zhao became increasingly certain that his current approach was correct!

Although this is an unknown world, as long as you are dealing with people and encounter problems, the guiding principles and valuable experiences summarized by predecessors are still useful!

[Given a clear understanding of the situation, if an individual has limited resources, they must learn to transform their personal goals into benefits for more people; this will make things much easier.]

Seeing that he had come up with a good solution to the problem, Liu Zhao felt much more relaxed.

Despite not feeling sleepy, Liu Zhao continued studying the Chinese character 'runes' he had just mastered, continuing until the next morning, and successfully gained a deeper understanding of the effects of the new 'Chinese character runes'.

At the same time, to his surprise, ever since his mage class buff was upgraded to bronze, his energy has become exceptionally high. After another all-nighter, he didn't feel tired at all.

"Supernatural power is still the best. Putting everything else aside, who wouldn't like nourishing their spirit for a short while?"

Just as Liu Zhao was feeling overjoyed, the figure of the Knight of York appeared outside the door.

"I'm back, Your Highness. Here is the investigation data you requested regarding Viscount Kevin and Knight Matt."

The Knight of York handed the documents to Liu Zhao and also told him some news.

"Also, Charlie, the manager of the Leilo Chamber of Commerce, came with his subordinates and is downstairs now."

He said he had also received a request from Miss Christine, and at the same time, he had some different suggestions regarding what you wanted to do, and would like to request an audience with you.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhao's eyes lit up.

"He came in person? Perfect, let him come up."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Soon, the York Knight who had gone downstairs returned, and Charlie, the middle-aged fat man with squinty eyes whom Liu Zhao had met once before, also appeared in front of Liu Zhao.

"Your Highness, it has been many days since we last met. It is an honor to see you again."

Manager Charlie bowed deeply to Liu Zhao, his attitude extremely respectful.

Liu Zhao smiled slightly.

"Me too, it's nice to see you again, Manager Charlie."

After a brief greeting, Liu Zhao got straight to the point.

"The Knight of York told me that you have some different suggestions regarding my plan. Please elaborate."

Upon hearing this, Manager Charlie immediately smiled and spoke up.

"Last night, after reading the plan that Miss Christine sent me, I had no doubt that the production process and precautions for processed hawthorn products described in it were feasible. And if the plan you described were implemented, it would definitely bring a considerable amount of wealth to the Leilo Chamber of Commerce."

I must say, Your Highness's extraordinary vision and business acumen are truly admirable; you were able to conceive such a comprehensive plan from ordinary hawthorn berries.

Charlie's voice was tinged with excitement, his tone full of admiration and flattery for Liu Zhao.

Then, the conversation suddenly changed.

"However, there is one point in this plan that I find somewhat puzzling."

"That is, since the Red Fruit contains such enormous commercial potential, why should we let that so-called Viscount Kevin get a share of it?"

If, as you claim in your plan, you possess even more methods for producing red fruit, wouldn't it be better for us to simply buy all the land in Red Fruit Village and then firmly control the entire production process and personnel, thereby accumulating even greater wealth?

Buy land directly and monopolize the market!

Upon hearing Charlie's words, Liu Zhao was first taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

Yup!

Since they're worried that Viscount Kevin, as the landowner, might cause trouble, why not just buy the land as well?

This is an alternate world where land transactions are very common!

It's not my hometown where the land is state-owned!

Suddenly, Liu Zhao felt enlightened and realized that his previous thinking was indeed a bit too conservative.

After all, he had only been in this world for a short time and was not yet used to the various rules of the new world. In the end, he still acted according to the mindset of a law-abiding citizen.

Charlie's words not only made things clearer about the current situation in Red Fruit Village, but also gave them a clearer idea of ​​the future direction.

Become stronger, save money, recruit allies, buy land, farm, and become a lord.

Then... when the time is right, he will directly take control of all the troops in the world!

Thinking about all this, Liu Zhao himself became somewhat excited, and his gaze towards Old Charlie instantly changed.

"Old Charlie, you're absolutely right!"

"You business people really understand profits and business opportunities!"

Liu Zhao patted him on the shoulder in a very friendly manner.

"Then let's do it your way. In addition, after it's done, I'll entrust you with full responsibility for all business related to Hongguo. How about that?"

Liu Zhao's actions made Old Charlie feel flattered. Thinking about the huge profits this business might bring, he became excited and immediately bowed respectfully again.

"Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness. Charlie will certainly not let you down!"

Liu Zhao smiled, then turned around, took out his money pouch, and placed it directly into his hand.

"This is all the start-up capital that Baron Karl and Lady Love provided me before I came to the capital. You can invest it all in this project. I won't interfere with how it's used; just send me the accounts every now and then. Is that alright?"

Charlie opened the money bag and his smile widened.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my utmost to handle this matter well for you!"

Liu Zhao nodded, then added another sentence.

"By the way, I don't care about anything else. I only have one requirement for the entire business plan."

Liu Zhao looked at Charlie with a serious expression.

"The villagers in Hongguo Village are quite nice, I like them a lot, so when you hire them, remember to offer them a higher commission."

……

After Manager Charlie left, Liu Zhao felt much more at ease knowing that the matter had already involved the Leilo Chamber of Commerce and the Lance family. He immediately stopped paying too much attention to it and instead focused his energy on practicing Chinese 'runes'.

As it was his native language, Liu Zhao also discovered that when using these Chinese characters as 'Arcane Runes' to amplify magic, both the amplification intensity and magic power consumption were far more convenient than the three 'runes' Cecilia had given him.

It could even be said that in terms of strength, it completely crushes the competition.

As a result, Liu Zhao became more and more excited as he practiced, and he was full of confidence for the upcoming chief arena battle.

And just like that, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, while Supervisor Charlie successfully produced the first batch of dried fruit preserves, the highly anticipated chief arena battle at the Royal Magic Academy was about to begin.
