Chapter 354 Qin Yuan's Choice
Qin Hao kept telling Qin Yuan about the benefits of doing business, but those tempting benefits did not seem to stir up much waves in Qin Yuan's heart until he casually mentioned, "Sixth Brother, did you know that I opened an auction house in Beijing a while ago, called the First Auction House in Beijing? Ten treasures were auctioned on the opening day. Guess how much silver we got that day?"
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and the fire of curiosity in his heart was ignited. He couldn't wait to ask: "Oh? Big brother, how much silver is it?"
Seeing this, Qin Yu gently patted Qin Yuan on the back of his head and scolded him with a smile: "You little brat, you are so impatient. I asked you to guess, but why did you ask me instead?"
Qin Hao patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder and joked, "Sixth brother, as long as you can guess it, I will support you unconditionally in whatever you want to do. But if you can't guess it, you have to obey my arrangements and learn the way of doing business well, how about that?"
Qin Yuan was immediately perked up when he heard this, with a curious light flashing in his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "Third brother, this is what the eldest brother said. You testify for me. If I guessed it right, you have to help me keep an eye on the eldest brother and don't let him regret it."
Qin Yu stood aside, watching the intimate interaction between the two, and couldn't help but laugh. He nodded and readily agreed: "Okay, Sixth Brother, as long as you guess it right, I will definitely stand by you and not let Big Brother regret it. But if you can't guess it, you have to listen to Big Brother's arrangements obediently and don't think about playing tricks."
Qin Yuan was immediately filled with confidence when he heard this. He stared at the scene in front of him, and various possibilities quickly ran through his mind.
Qin Hao looked at him expectantly, as if he had already seen the embarrassment that he could not guess.
"I guess, one million taels?" Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and tentatively spit out a number. There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. After all, this number was already an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
However, Qin Hao just shook his head lightly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Keep guessing, I want you to guess boldly."
Qin Yuan failed to guess correctly the first time, and his brows immediately furrowed and his expression became serious. After that, he guessed several times in succession but still failed to guess it. He felt that the amount might be far beyond his imagination.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and speculated again: "Could it be... 10 million taels?"
When he said this number, his voice trembled a little. After all, this number was too huge for him, almost unimaginable.
Qin Yu, who was standing by, was even more stunned. He opened his eyes wide, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Ten million taels?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but repeat it, his voice full of shock and disbelief, "This... How is this possible?"
He took a deep breath and slapped his face, as if he couldn't believe it, because in his opinion, 10 million taels of silver was an almost unattainable amount. Even the entire national treasury might not be able to come up with so much silver. To him, this amount was simply an unattainable dream.
However, Qin Hao just smiled faintly, as if this number was nothing to him. There was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Qin Yuan's next guess.
Qin Yuan was also shocked by this astonishing number and felt unbelievable. The development of things had exceeded his cognition. Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, he still wanted to continue exploring the possible number.
However, Qin Hao's words had deeply touched him and instantly sobered him up. He understood that if he continued to guess, even if he guessed right, he would undoubtedly fall into the inferior position, and he would also listen to his elder brother obediently.
"No more guessing, brother. I give up." Qin Yuan finally let go of his obsession and frankly admitted his failure.
Qin Hao looked at Qin Yuan in front of him. Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he decisively chose to give up. A gratified smile appeared on his face. He understood that this once immature brother had now grown into a mature and stable person, and had learned to accept and respect reality.
He did not mock Qin Yuan at all. Instead, he stretched out two fingers, shook them gently, and said with a gentle smile: "Sixth brother, you know that the amount of silver is far more than 10 million taels of silver. In fact, it is more than 25 million taels."
Qin Yu and Qin Yuan were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Brother, are you...are you telling the truth?" Qin Yuan asked stutteringly, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.
Qin Hao's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, he nodded gently, and said nothing more. He knew very well that this news was undoubtedly a heavy bomb for Qin Yuan, enough to make him feel uneasy.
However, he believed that his younger brother had enough wisdom and judgment to choose the path that would best suit his future.
"You silly boy, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
Qin Yu nudged Qin Yuan with his elbow, a teasing smile on his face, "Why don't you beg me, big brother, to learn how to do business from me. In the future, you will be the richest prince in Daxia. When the time comes, big brother and I will have to rely on your generosity."
Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. His voice was low and soft, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake. "Now that you know, it's not too late. As long as you are willing to study hard, the future will be full of infinite possibilities. This is why I want you to learn how to do business."
"Brother, I've decided. I want to learn business!"
Qin Yuan was very excited. He swallowed hard and patted his chest as if to promise Qin Hao something. His face was full of expectation. He said resolutely: "I know that I have been idle in the past and have never done anything seriously. But this time, I swear that I will study hard and help you, big brother."
Qin Hao looked at him, a gleam of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He patted Qin Yuan's shoulder gently and laughed with satisfaction.
"Sixth brother, congratulations on making the right choice."
Qin Hao's voice was full of satisfaction and pride. "Although the way of doing business is complicated, as long as you study hard, you will be able to grasp the essence of it."
"I believe that in the near future, you will become the richest man in Daxia, and like your third brother, you will become my right-hand man. When the time comes, we will conquer all the surrounding countries together and make Daxia famous throughout the world!"
Qin Yuan and Qin Yu were so excited after hearing this that they seemed to have seen the future glory of Da Xia. They held Qin Hao's hands tightly, with anticipation shining in their eyes.
