The Next Prince, Chapter 28 pg6
“In this case, Chakri, you deserve praise and appreciation... Do you remember what I asked you before?”
“Well... Your Highness, you asked me a lot of questions...” Chakri was taken aback, trying to recall the questions posed by Young Prince, before realizing there were countless inquiries.
Khanin chuckled softly. His two-tiered gaze shifted towards the knowledgeable figure standing beside the heir apparent, before winking playfully when he saw Charan smiling back.
“Young-Prince, don't just smile, Your Highness. I am already stressed out.” Seeing Young-Prince engrossed in conversation with Khun Charan, the Head Butler couldn't help but interject.
“Okay, okay. I wil stop fooling around... It's about buying the entire club.”
A sweet, gentle voice subsided. Chakri blinked his eyes, retracing his memories one frame at a time... one frame at a time. Finally, he stumbled upon the sentence Young-Prince had asked about, regarding team acquisition...
“Regarding the budget granted by the Sovereign King, totaling ten billion
EM, it would only have an impact when each city decides to choose an athlete, Your Highness. However, in general, not many people buy athletes. If they were to purchase, it would require budget provisions guaranteeing salaries in advance for one year, leading to the risk of budget deficits.”
“...”
“Based on previous competition records, mostly rented athletes from clubs for short periods to join the team together, Your Highness.”
“So, it means athletes still belong to the club, even if each city signs temporary lease agreements... Then, if we want them to come to our side, dont we just have to buy the entire club and shift their allegiance to us?”
“No one considers such an approach, Your Highness. It would be seen as using the competition funds for non-beneficial purposes, in favor of a club responsible for taking care of all the fencing athletes, not just the chosen ones.”
“Means that we shouldn't buy both athletes and clubs. Because it will reduce the estimated competition revenue, leaving less money and making it difficult to maintain the remaining funds. We should only rent athletes temporarily for this competition. Do I understand correctly?”
“Exactly, Your Highness.”
“Regarding the budget, if Sovereign-King provides a budget of 10 billion
EM, it will only have an effect when each city decides to choose athletes, Your Highness. But normally, there are not many people buying athletes because it would require budget allocation and guarantees for advance salary for one year, which may result in a loss of estimated revenue.”
“...”
“Based on previous competition records, most cities only book temporary rentals of athletes from clubs for a short period of time to have them participate as a team, Your Highness.”
“So, it means that athletes will still belong to the clubs, even if each city signs a temporary leasing contract, right? And if I request to join, can I buy the entire club?”
“No one does that, Your Highness. It would be considered a loss in competition positions without benefits, as the clubs are responsible for taking care of all selected athletes, not just the ones acquired.”
“That means we shouldn't buy both athletes and clubs. Because it will reduce the estimated competition revenue, leaving less money and making it difficult to maintain the remaining funds. We should only rent athletes temporarily for this competition. Do I understand correctly?”
“Exactly, Your Highness.”
Chakri's tense face relaxed and quickly changed to a surprised expression in just a few seconds. His eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
At that moment, Chakri believed that this Young Prince's request for his care was simply because he didn't know about that specific rule loophole. He tried to prevent the other side from tempting Young Prince Khanin, as he didn't want him to fall into a dangerous trap. But who would have thought that Young Prince's request was because...
“Don't tell me... Your Majesty, you intentionally tempted Young Prince
Ramil...”
“Yes... I tempted him for his competitive spirit and desire to win and pitted that against the greed...”
“...”
“Let's see what happens if someone makes a move to buy the team he hinted at... and how he would react.”
“...”
“But first, we have to act like top-class individuals, as if we genuinely want to buy the entire club. Because we want to compete with him, starting tonight. We need to spread some rumors...” Khanin turned to Charan, his slim figure leaning closer, and his eyes gleaming mischievously like a child encountering something fun.
Meanwhile, Charan was worried because he knew very well what someone of young age wanted. The fact that he looked at him like that... he didn't just ask for help with spreading rumors.
But there was another significant reason for it.
“Just to make it seem like we're a couple in love going on a date.”
Then, how far should we go to make it seem like that, then?
