Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3023: Chapter 77: Wang Fugui’s True Motive (Part 4)

The Cangping God Emperor also frowned slightly: ”Wang Fugui, indeed this matter is excessive on the part of your Divine Martial Wang family. Such interest rates verge on extortion.”

”Is this interest rate really high?” Wang Fugui looked ”bewildered”, glancing around as if seeking agreement.

”Ahem!” The Ying Clan’s Old Ancestor Heaven Pillar Saint King reminded softly, ”Fugui, it is indeed a bit high. If the loan amount were smaller, the interest might be higher. However, for a gigantic loan involving several tens of Chaos Spirit Stones, doubling the principal plus interest in a thousand years is indeed excessive. But, asking for one Chaos Spirit Stone is somewhat unfair; calculating with one and a half Chaos Spirit Stones interest is more reasonable.”

This is indeed the case in Luojing. After all, those who can afford to use Chaos Spirit Stones are mostly Sacred Supremes, whose perception of time differs greatly from lower-level cultivators, and those extremely stable and safe assets actually have very low annual returns.

It makes sense when you think about it, considering those high-priced but stable industries in Luojing. Suppose the interest doubles every thousand years, what about over ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years... how high would it climb?

With the Heaven Pillar Saint King leading, other Saint Kings and Old Ancestors chimed in, agreeing that Wang Fugui’s interest demand was indeed excessive.

These words hit right at the heart of Jiang Shengzhe.

He snorted coldly and said, ”Wang Fugui, I don’t know where you get your courage from, demanding such a hefty interest. How about this: our Jiang’s lend you a hundred Chaos Spirit Stones, and you return two hundred with principal and interest after a thousand years?”

”Certainly.” Wang Fugui agreed without hesitation, with an air of calm composure, as if he hadn’t noticed the sarcasm in Jiang Shengzhe’s tone, ”This deal can be done.”

”What?”

Jiang Shengzhe was immediately stunned.

He stared blankly at Wang Fugui, regaining his voice after a while, ”Wang Fugui, are you out of your mind? It’s double in a millennium...”

Wang Fugui glanced at him without explaining, instead politely addressing the surrounding courtiers, Saint Kings, and Old Ancestors, speaking eloquently: ”Since everyone believes the interest rates our Wang family asked for are outlandish, we can use such interest to raise some funds.”

Saying this, he wiped his hand over the Storage Ring.

Instantly, a crystal stone screen appeared in the great hall, showing a series of images with detailed data.

”Ladies and gentlemen, our Divine Martial Wang family plans to raise a fund of 7000 Chaos Spirit Stones, more accurately, to gather funds. Our Wang family has a major project about to launch, and this 7000 Chaos Spirit Stones fund is the project’s capital. Please look at my PPT, which contains very detailed introductions, and I will explain them to you all one by one.”

Wang Fugui began to skillfully present the PPT.

Although he didn’t quite understand why such presentation software was called ”PPT,” it was an invention of the Old Ancestor Shouzhe, and since Anye Old Ancestor and Yong’an Great Emperor had also used it in Return to Dragon City when they were young, it has been used ever since.

Raising funds of 7000 Chaos Spirit Stones?

Everyone was taken aback.

Even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as the Cangping God Emperor was greatly shocked, staring blankly at Wang Fugui, filled with disbelief.

This kid is too bold, opening his mouth for 7000 Chaos Spirit Stones. That’s 7000 Chaos Spirit Stones! Not 70, not 700, but 7000!

Wait a minute, something isn’t right.

Suddenly, a flash of realization struck the Cangping God Emperor, sensing that something was off.

From the young generation of the Wang family gaining fame in Luojing, to Wang Yincao and Wang Juntong blocking the gates and challenging others at the entrance of the Divine Palace... all these events occurring one after another; now with Wang Fugui suddenly proposing fund-raising during the court meeting, and he seems clearly well-prepared... to say there’s no connection at all, the Cangping God Emperor couldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death.

So the feeling he had was that from beginning to end, he was just clothing the bride for the Wang family?
