Keqing felt incredibly guilty now. She had carelessly run up such a huge debt in Primogems. She roughly calculated that she had around 4,000 Primogems on hand. Then, if she used every bit of Mora she could mobilize to buy Primogems as quickly as possible, she could probably gather around 5,000 more. That was at market price, too. If she wanted to collect them quickly... the price of Primogems would definitely have to rise a little.
Come to think of it, the difference between Primogems and Mora was much like the difference between paper currency and gold. The price of Primogems was not fixed.
So even in the best-case scenario, she was still short by seven or eight thousand Primogems!
Such a huge sum gave Keqing a headache!
Although she was one of the Liyue Qixing and oversaw the highly lucrative land administration department, Keqing had never embezzled or misappropriated funds. She would never do such a thing, and she would never allow anyone else to do it either.
Though she felt terribly guilty, Keqing did not tell Bronya. She would figure something out after returning to Liyue Harbor. Whether she took out a loan from Northland Bank or borrowed money from someone, she would definitely pay it back.
With that thought, the guilt in her heart finally faded away...
Come to think of it, if she introduced Ningguang to Bronya... could she get a discount?
Unlike Keqing, Ningguang's greatest interest was Mora. Liyue was the nation of commerce, trade, and contracts, and when it came to Liyue's foremost merchant... Ningguang was probably the first person who came to everyone's mind.
To Ningguang, anything could be turned into a business, so long as there was profit to be made.
She had started from nothing and built the magnificent Jade Chamber.
