Stone smiled. "Of course."
He knew the Young Master Heir wasn't particularly concerned with profits; his main goal was to please Miss Gu, and secondarily, to outdo Young Master Zhu.
Seeing Stone agree so readily, Young Master Zhu was delighted. "There is just one more thing, and it's something only Brother Stone can handle properly."
Just as he was speaking, Gu Zhang entered, followed by Steward Qin and Liu Fu.
Gu Fei hurried to welcome her father. Gu Zhang knew everyone present, so he exchanged greetings and sat down to continue the talks.
Mr. Zhu continued, "Right now, we need to hurry to the Maritime Trade Office and get a sea voyage permit. Without it, the entire shipment will be confiscated when it reaches port."
Gu Fei thought for a moment and understood. 'Bypassing the government is smuggling,' she mused. 'No dynasty, regardless of the era, would allow such enormous profits to circumvent the state and fall into private hands.'
Stone nodded. "I'll take care of it."
