Chapter 1755: Make Things Easier
The next day.
Johnny had just finished his official duties and was about to return to his palace residence.
"Second Prince, Charles wants to see you."
The subordinate suddenly came over and said respectfully.
Johnny paused.
He still has a certain understanding of Charles. In recent years, many of the royal family’s jewels have come from the Snart Group, Charles’ diamond company.
How could Charles, who was usually so quiet, ask for a meeting all of a sudden?
Johnny was a little curious. Charles acted tactfully. Except for some jewelry transactions, he didn't see anyone getting close to him.
What can happen if you come to him now?
He looked calm and said: "Let him come in."
Soon, Charles walked in with a smile on his face and motioned to the assistant to hand over the gift box in his hand.
"Congratulations to the second prince, double happiness."
This double happiness naturally refers to Johnny becoming the heir and his marrying the princess of country G. It is really a double happiness.
Johnny nodded and said, "Thank you."
The guard on the side took the gift box and stood respectfully.
Johnny motioned for Charles to take a seat, and then asked in a puzzled tone, "I wonder why Mr. Charles came to see me?"
He didn't think that Charles would come to him alone just to give gifts.
Charles smiled bitterly and said sincerely, "To be honest with you, the second prince, I came to you this time mainly for cooperation."
"cooperate?"
Johnny thought a little more carefully.
Charles nodded and then talked about it one by one, "Yes, I recently had a batch of diamonds that I wanted to transport into the country, but the current situation has also been seen by the second prince."
He sighed deeply and looked a little more depressed, "Now that the security is tight, I am afraid that I won't be able to transport the diamond for a while, but this will cause a huge loss... I hope the second prince can make it easier... …”
Hearing this, Johnny remained silent and frowned slightly.
Charles has been dealing with royal family members all year round, so how could he not know the ropes and follow the rules: "I know you are acting under orders and everyone abides by the rules. I can't let you make an exception for no reason."
Johnny's brows relaxed a little, and he glanced at Charles, "If you think so, I would like to thank you for your understanding on behalf of the royal family. I just hope that the crown can be found soon. In this case, Mr. Charles's matter will be solved."
Charles had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to underestimate Johnny in his heart.
After so many years of obscurity, even Andre, the king's favorite and most likely heir, was deposed. This city and its methods are not as simple as they seem.
Thinking of this, he spoke very seriously: "I hope so too. However, the situation of my batch of diamonds is quite urgent. I hope it will be convenient for the second prince. Of course, I come here with full sincerity."
Johnny raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming interested in the sincerity in his mouth.
He was also unambiguous and directly laid out the conditions, "I am willing to give up 20% of Snate Group's mineral veins in South Africa to the second prince every year to represent Snate Group's gratitude to you."
South Africa is currently a popular diamond mine for Snate Group, supporting one-tenth of Snate Group’s diamond business, needless to say its profitability.
20% per year, Johnny knew the value of this profit without any investigation.
But, Charles just gave him such a big piece of fat?
Even though he has now become the heir, no one can shake his position. But in terms of behavior, Johnny still remained vigilant and alert.
He glanced at Charles, with a smile on his lips, "I'm afraid Mr. Charles won't be able to help me with this."
Charles was not surprised at all by his reaction.
He was not in a hurry and glanced at the assistant, who handed the contract that had been prepared long ago to the guard next to Johnny.
"Since we are talking about cooperation, we must be sincere. No, I have even brought the contract. The second prince can take a look first. If there is anything he is not satisfied with, we can discuss it."
Johnny didn't expect that Charles was so well-prepared. He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. His subordinate took the contract and handed it to Johnny.
Looking at the detailed division of interests inside, Johnny's eyes became more interested. After reading it, he handed the contract to his subordinates without saying a word.
When Charles saw this, he looked a little flattering and said, "After all, I am blessed by the second prince. In the future, when you inherit the throne, there will be many places that need your protection."
As an heir, Johnny usually needs funds in many places. The 20% mineral vein may not seem like much, but it is a hot mineral vein at the moment.
After some consideration, he looked at Charles and said in a nonchalant tone, "Forty percent."
Four percent?
Charles' heart trembled, and he thought angrily: This Johnny is really a lion, he dares to say this.
The smile on his face was a bit unbearable. He clenched his hands on his knees into fists, looked at Johnny, and said jokingly, "The second prince has a big appetite."
Johnny didn't care, sitting lazily on the chair, "Mr. Charles can also choose not to cooperate, after all..."
Charles smiled bitterly, "Do I have a choice?"
Johnny didn't answer, so Charles knew what he meant.
He waved his hands with a pained expression and said reluctantly, "That's all, I just hope I can make more money from these diamonds."
After the two parties reached an agreement, Johnny signed his name readily, "Don't worry, Mr. Charles, I will say hello to the customs. I will happily cooperate with you."
“A pleasure to work with.”
After getting the desired result, Charles exchanged a few words and left with his assistant.
On the same day, Charles' diamond was cleared.
The next day.
Charles sent his assistant again and delivered a set of fine blue diamonds.
Looking at the blue diamonds on the table, Johnny didn't speak.
The assistant was very smart and said respectfully: "Second Prince, this is the latest blue diamond mined, and the current reserves are scarce. The princess is noble and elegant, and this blue diamond is quite consistent with the princess's temperament. I would also like to congratulate the second prince and wish him a happy wedding!"
Johnny saw through it but didn't say it.
"Mr. Charles is thoughtful."
Johnny nodded, and the guards on the side took it away.
On the other side.
Jin Fengchen leaned back in his chair, frowning.
He was completely worried that he couldn't be with Jiang Sesu.
After all, Andre was ruthless and had no rules.
Fortunately, He Shuhan had made new progress.
"Master, Charles had a meeting with the Second Prince yesterday and sent someone to deliver something today. Do you think it is necessary to remind the Second Prince?"
