Volume 1 Chapter 107 The Way of Thinking of a True Gentleman

  At 100 yuan per square meter per month, a three-story small building with an area of nearly 3,000 square meters will have a monthly rent of nearly 300,000 yuan, exceeding 3 million yuan in a year.

  Fortunately, the rent is paid annually. If the other party requires a one-time payment of five years' rent, Qin Yan's current funds are not enough to pay it off.

  Of course, with the existence of Dong Qinglong's knife, who would dare ask for more from the owner of that small building?

  Long Hall

  It has only developed in Pingjiang for nearly a year and is slightly inferior to the local old-brand gangs, but the key reason is that Dong Qinglong is very low-key.

  Since he narrowly escaped death five years ago, he has been searching for the warrior's trail with his four brothers. He didn't go after the mastermind behind the scenes because he was well aware that the process of investigation might alert the other party, and even if they found the real culprit, what could they use to fight against them?

  Therefore, we must first find someone who can counter the mastermind behind the scenes. The members of 'Divine State Sword' are very powerful, and based on their basic understanding of martial artists, they were found by them soon after.

  What a pity...

  Is Dong Qinglong a martial artist?

  No!

  Because he didn't cultivate any martial arts mental methods, it doesn't mean that a martial artist is stronger than him. In fact, before reaching the sixth heaven of the Martial Way, a martial artist does not have internal energy, and the abilities used in battle are still physical strength. Dong Qinglong, who was selected for 'Divine State Sword', had combat power that was in no way inferior to Tan Zixuan's at the beginning of the third heaven of the Martial Way, and even surpassed her.

  He found the warriors, but those warriors' strength was far from enough. Although there were a few who were more powerful than him, they were only slightly more powerful than him.

  Even if he reached the sixth heaven of martial arts, he still couldn't see any hope for revenge.

  After searching for more than three years, he still didn't find a truly powerful martial artist. He didn't give up, but instead thought of another method: developing a vast power, which would make it easier to come into contact with the high-ranking masters in the world of martial arts.

  And so, there is now Long Tang.

  Of course, with their formidable strength, it would be easy for them to dominate Pingjiang, and they could even wipe out all the other gangs in the city in a short period of time. But he didn't do that, because Longtang was different from other gangs - they just occupied a corner and developed slowly, rarely expanding their territory aggressively.

  Nothing else.

  Dong Qinglong faced a similar problem as Qin Yan, that is, once his identity was exposed, he would be silenced by an overwhelming strong person.

  Of course, Qin Yan's situation is much better than his. Firstly, although Qin Yan can't match 'Tianming', the gap in strength isn't that exaggerated. Secondly, 'Tianming' doesn't dare to be so blatant in front of Yan Huang again. Dong Qinglong is different, his arch-nemesis is in Yan Huang, and it's a very powerful force, far beyond what he can handle.

  He isn't unwilling to expand greatly, but rather doesn't dare draw too much attention.

  However, Qin Yan grasped this knife and played a crucial role in the business empire he outlined.

  Black and white are inseparable.

  The bigger the business, the more envy and jealousy it attracts, and the easier it is to make powerful enemies. At this time, official channels are not enough, and assistance from dark forces is also needed. Usually, those giant merchants and wealthy businessmen all have connections with certain powerful underworld forces, becoming so-called friends who take care of each other. However, such a relationship is not reliable after all. For the greedy wolf, only when the weapon is in one's own hands can it be safe.

  From now on, he controls Dong Qinglong, and Dong Qinglong controls Longtang. This force is his private army, safeguarding the future business giant.

  The three-story building has been rented out, and a year's rent has been paid in advance. Qin Yan's bank card balance plummeted, leaving only over 4 million left.

  He didn't even keep these 40 million for himself, but gave them to a guy named Liu Zhongcheng.

  Liu Zhongcheng is not a member of Longtang, but a relative of one of the core members of Longtang. He graduated from a certain design academy two years ago and now works in a design company.

  Qin Yan wasn't worried at all that someone would dare to embezzle his money, with Dong Qinglong around, embezzling his money was no different from seeking death. So the money was handed over to Liu Zhongcheng, along with the overall decoration of this three-story small building: the first floor was a bar lounge, the second floor was built into a wholesale-style KTV private room, and the third floor was prepared for Jiang Xiaoying.

  At this stage, the main focus is on Jiang Xiaoyan's personal improvement. The third floor will be converted into a recording studio and dance room. In addition to this, there is also an office space - Qin Yan plans to set up an entertainment company.

  Since the last time Summer was cheated, he has been thinking that Jiang Xiaoyan may also face this problem in the future. To thoroughly eliminate such things, the only way is to let all the actors, directors and so on around her be their own people, even sponsors and investors are themselves.

  Of course, to achieve the latter is much more difficult, you must have a commercially astonishing giant ship, which is impossible in the short term. However, having your own entertainment company is relatively easier.

  But the entertainment company is currently just a fledgling, with only Jiang Xiaoyan alone being equal to zero.

  He gave the card with over 40 million yuan to Liu Zhongcheng, and Qin Yan fell from a rich man to a loser.

  Fortunately, from the time he took over the bar until now, he hasn't taken a single penny from the bar company's account. He even put in the 100,000 yuan he cheated from Fat Pig Man. So when he had no choice but to take some money from the bar account, he found that there was almost 300,000 yuan inside.

  Excluding the 100,000 yuan he invested, in just two months, the bar earned nearly 200,000 yuan in pure profit.

  At first, from what Gao Mingjian and others said about data analysis, the monthly profit of the former boss was less than 500,000.

  Now the staff's salary has doubled, but the profit is still twice as much as before. This shows how booming the bar business has been since Qin Yan took over.

  Qin Yan took out 2 million and allocated 1 million to Su Hao for immediate use.

  No way, this guy spent all his one million on that Aston Martin worth over 50 million, which is even more expensive than Qin Yan's Lamborghini. Although Qin Yan said everyone has their own hobbies, he couldn't just watch him go hungry and cold, but the two of them didn't spend much money usually anyway.

  The design and decoration of the three-story building was entrusted to Liu Zhongcheng, while safety aspects were handed over to Dong Qinglong, so there's no need to worry about any problems.

  Nowadays, every night at the Rosemary Bar, there are always two or three sturdy Dragon Hall members with good martial arts skills patrolling on site as lookouts. There's no need for Qin Yan to personally supervise; those small-time hooligans who encounter these genuine underworld figures become more obedient than a grandson, and none of them dare cause trouble here?

  As a result, Qin Yan's workload was greatly reduced, and he finally had more time to do other things. However, when there was nothing to do at night, he still stayed in the small office of the bar.

  Before, he would divide his mind into three uses while staying in the bar: guiding Jiang Xiaoying to sing and play the piano, staring at those little rascals who came to the bar to cause trouble, and appreciating the 'big and small' beauties in the bar through surveillance.

  Because the first two things took up too much energy, he usually didn't have time to look at beauties. Now that someone is in charge of the bar's safety, he can finally calm down and compare which beauty has longer legs, which one has smoother skin, and which one has a bust size above D-cup.

  Of course, it's easier than before, but that doesn't mean he has nothing to do.

  He directly told the other party that he couldn't avenge Dong Qinglong with his current strength, and Dong Qinglong also knew that revenge wasn't that simple.

  However, since they were going to use those five knives, it was necessary to sharpen the knives even more, so from Dong Qinglong becoming that knife, Qin Yan had planned to help them increase their strength.

  Among ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts, the five of them are almost at the top in terms of strength. Through physical training and combat training in the ordinary world, they can reach a level that is no lower than the third heaven of martial arts. Even Qin Yan finds it astonishing. However, such strength is far from enough in the world of warriors.

  Qin Yan's martial arts and combat skills, which he imparted to them, are considered top-notch in the world of warriors. They were among the "Fourteen Great Generals of Heaven's Mandate", and the secret techniques that Greedy Wolf had cultivated before were enough to make countless people go crazy.

  Ever since he obtained that ancient book, Qin Yan started to specialize in another profound and unfathomable technique, the previous secret skills became useless.

  Su Hao came from the Su family, so it was impossible for him to practice the greedy wolf's secret technique. Therefore, he passed on this secret technique to Dong Qinglong and his four brothers, as well as Kong Zhengfeng, who had been frightened by his terrifying strength at the May Flower that day and returned a few days later, almost kowtowing to beg him to teach him martial arts.

  Kong Zhèngfēng was fond of martial arts, which can be seen from his nearly twenty years of hard training in Sanshou. When he knew that there was such a mysterious and powerful martial art in the world, and the person who possessed this martial art was right next to him, how could he possibly let it slip away?

  It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.

  Qin Yan currently does not have the ability to help Dong Qinglong avenge, but he can make them become warriors and increase their combat power at an astonishing speed. Dong Qinglong will naturally be grateful, after all, since ancient times, it has been taught that disciples should repay their masters, how many people would easily pass on extraordinary martial arts to others?

  For these years, the five of them only thought that no matter what price they paid, as long as they could find a master to help them avenge, it would be fine. They never thought that they themselves also had the opportunity to become martial arts masters.

  The safety of the bar is in charge of Dong Qinglong, and the decoration of the three-story building is in charge of Liu Zhongcheng.

  In addition, Lu Chengming and his wife returned to Qingyang County. Due to the lack of medicinal materials, Su Hao's strength could not be temporarily improved, so Qin Yan did not need to help them decoct medicine either. Nowadays, there are only two things that must be done every day: helping Mr. Song look after his illness, and guiding Jiang Xiaoying in singing and playing the piano at night.

  As for Kong Zhengfeng and Dong Qinglong, the five brothers are not yet suitable for taking medicine, but need to learn the basic knowledge and heart method of martial arts. This task Qin Yan was too lazy to do, so he handed it over to Su Hao.

  Unconsciously, half a month has passed, today is an important day.

  Lu Chengming told him that another piece of hundred-year-old agarwood might be in the Lu family in Tianmen, and Qin Yan made a note of it, planning to go there after dealing with Song Yingping's pharmaceutical factory.

  Today is the day to check the results!

  Just after lunch, Qin Yan drove his Lamborghini Gallardo to the First People's Hospital. The car was so cool that other cars made way for it, fearing that if they scratched it, they wouldn't be able to afford the damages. Along the way, it attracted countless admiring glances. Qin Yan roughly counted and found that thirteen big girls and young women were throwing flirtatious eyes and flying kisses at him, and there was also a man who was dressed up in a flashy manner.

  As one of the few remaining gentlemen in this century, Qin Yan sat calmly and was not confused by the charming eyes and flying kisses, because he was eager to take a step closer to his dreams: taking down the pharmaceutical factory would bring him money, with which he could do many things, such as buying a Bugatti worth 300 million, and increasing the number of beauties who had been throwing flirtatious glances at him from 13 to 30.

  Look! This is the thinking of a true gentleman, how different from others!
