Chapter 611: There Are Benefits for You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Governor Li inquired, “Do you have any specific requests, Governor Su?” Su Bin contemplated, wanting to express his needs but hesitating.

Certainly, he needed to make a request; after all, who would lend money without expecting something in return? Moreover, there was a 100% chance that repayment might not happen after the loan.

If he didn’t offer any benefits but wanted to borrow money without any strings attached, did he think Governor Li was naive?

Su Bin was well aware that the new emperor harbored intentions towards his wife and sought revenge against him. Lord State Duke, on the other hand, opposed the new emperor’s aggression because he understood the impact of the Su and Qin families’ businesses on the national treasury’s revenue. Lord State Duke considered the broader perspective and their mutual interests.

Observing Su Bin’s expression, Governor Li added, “Lord State Duke has already conveyed that if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to speak up.

Lord State Duke will give it due consideration.”

With this assurance, Su Bin abandoned all formality.

He appreciated the old duke’s pragmatic approach. He recognized that, in order to receive benefits, he needed to extend some in return.

“To ensure that there’s enough funding to lend, we need to establish an exclusive business.”

“If the Su family and the Qin family’s enterprises are endorsed with the royal emblem, it changes the dynamic. Those who dare to imitate would be in violation of the law.”

“The issue lies in the fact that these imitating merchants are diverse. While dealing with similar products, the criteria for selecting ingredients for medicinal herbs and substances differ. Some merchants even resort to using poorly preserved or spoiled ingredients to cut costs.”

“These are all products with medicinal and dietary origins. We must exercise caution.”

Governor Li attentively absorbed Su Bin’s proposal.

“It’s the same in various other industries. Take the example of the health center’s training facility. Numerous imitations have sprouted, each with its own branding.”

“Despite mimicking our family’s business model and offering lower fees, the nutritionists they provide are often unqualified due to differences in the quality of instructors. It’s akin to dealing with quacks, posing a serious risk to people’s well-being.”

Governor Li remarked, “I comprehend. Essentially, you’re suggesting that the training center should carry the royal family’s emblem, and action needs to be taken against these imitators who’ve proliferated.”

Su Bin affirmed, “Exactly. It should be led by individuals possessing a certain level of qualifications, and the instructors must be certified. Otherwise, the consequences could be genuinely harmful!”

Governor Li chuckled. “Understood! Once your family’s pioneering enterprise is branded with a distinctive logo, imitation becomes nearly impossible. And anyone attempting it would need to match your wife’s qualifications and capabilities. ”

“But across the entire dynasty, how many can compare to your wife?”

Now, Governor Li no longer doubted Su Bin’s intelligence. It was evident that Su Bin, while looking out for his own interests, managed to frame the matter in a lofty light.

Furthermore, Su Bin exhibited no signs of panic.

He had confidence that Lord State Duke would ensure his protection.

Su Bin reciprocated Governor Li’s smile.

Governor Li drafted his request, then handed it over to Su Bin.

“Take a look and let me know if I missed anything.”

His demeanor towards Su Bin had transformed; he now regarded Su Bin as a collaborator.

Su Bin perused the document and commended, “Governor Li, your writing is outstanding, and your penmanship is truly elegant. One wouldn’t guess you’re a military official at all. I’m genuinely impressed!”

His praise was sincere, not mere flattery.

Most people enjoyed receiving compliments, and Governor Li was clearly relishing it. He chuckled heartily.

Before departing, he leaned in and whispered to Su Bin, “Truth be told, Lord

State Duke is quite a decent person!”

“If you choose to align yourself with Lord State Duke, there will be advantages for you in the future!”

This was a subtle indication to Su Bin that, should the Public House successfully seize control in the future, those aligned with Lord State Duke would be recognized as meritorious officials and stand to reap substantial benefits..
