Chapter 28: Bundling of Interests

  On the opening night, after tallying up the earnings, the profits were astonishing. Not only were all 100 standard rooms fully booked, but also all 10 suites were rented out. After deducting labor costs and free drinks, they made a total profit of 500 purple crystal coins.

  500 Purple Crystal Coins per day!

  For the aristocratic families of the Ban Tu and Luo empires, 500 purple crystals a day was merely a drop in the bucket. However, in the remote town of Weisen, even 500 black crystals a day would be considered an astronomical profit. After all, the average household's monthly expenses didn't even exceed 100 black crystals.

  Originally, the old butler Mulberry didn't agree to provide free drinks, but after receiving a large sum of crystal coins in the evening, he immediately let the winery send another batch of fine wine over, more diligent than anyone else. During this period, in order to maintain the balance of income and expenditure in the mansion, he and Good had spent a lot of effort.

  "Boss, the hotel business is so good, it's best to expand immediately!" As the saying goes, when people encounter happy events, their spirits are refreshed. Seeing that the hotel he had spent countless efforts on was making so much money, Gu De, who usually didn't show his emotions, couldn't help but smile with joy.

  "Right, right, right! Let's expand the scale immediately, the bigger the better!" Old butler Mulberry loudly echoed, according to Yang Ling's own rules, every year he would raise the wages of his subordinates and slaves. If they didn't find a way to open up new avenues, where would the money come from?

  Mulberry and Good strongly advocated, Sophia, Kassy and Rumi also echoed, and they all advised Yang Ling to quickly expand the scale of Shangri-La.

  "Hmph, 500 purple crystals a day is really nothing to mention!" After taking a sip of jasmine tea, Yang Ling gently shook his head, "You few first talk about how to make a lot of crystals lastingly?"

  Looking at Yang Ling's profound and mysterious smile, the old steward hesitated a bit. Although he had been in Haier Beili's mansion for many years, being a steward was his strong point, but letting him do business was a bit difficult.

  After downing the fine wine in his cup, Dwarf Rumi continued to pour more while loudly saying: "Isn't it simple? Just think of a way to get the money from others' hands and that's it!"

  For Rumi, thinking so much is simply unnecessary. In the past in the tribe, they all traded with one hand exchanging money and the other hand exchanging goods, when there was no more money, just sell a few more weapons.

  "Kassy, what do you think?"

  "When...” Yang Ling asked, Kassy touched the back of his head, and his heart moved. He said, "Sir, organize people to go into the forest together to hunt, sell a lot of beast skins and magic beast crystal nuclei, and we can earn a lot of crystal coins every day!"

  "Right, right, the Tras Forest is rich in resources. Just selling these resources will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams! We'll never have to worry about food and clothing again!" Seeing everyone else speaking up, Alice also gathered her courage to share her thoughts. Although her family had run a woodworking workshop before, they were still not well-off, and having enough to eat and wear was the biggest wish of her childhood.

  After shaking his head, Yang Ling saw Gu De sitting aside in silence and said: "Gu De, speak your mind!"

  Seeing everyone staring at him, Good hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Sir, Weissen Town is rich in resources. As long as they are transported out, every specialty can earn a lot of crystal coins. The key is transportation. As long as a cheap and convenient transportation method can be found, with the unique conditions of Weissen Town, it will definitely make a lot of crystal coins continuously!"

  Is there a cheap and convenient way of transportation? After Gu De said that, people thought for a moment before nodding in agreement, only Yang Ling shook his head.

  "Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Seeing Yang Ling still shaking his head, the old steward couldn't help but feel a little curious.

  As he met the curious gaze of the crowd, Yang Ling lightly sipped a refreshing jasmine tea and began to tell a story.

  In the past, two merchants discovered two crystal mines. One merchant recruited a large number of vagrants with meager wages and recklessly mined, planning to leave after digging up everything. The wages given to the vagrants were so low that they could barely fill their stomachs. As a result, the vagrants came and went in large numbers. Near the gold mine, there were only casinos and brothels, with no other places for consumption, and even if one had money, there was nowhere to spend it.

  Another merchant also recruited a large number of refugees, but every now and then, he would give the refugees a raise. At the same time, vigorously build supporting facilities such as taverns, inns, and academies, allowing the refugees to gradually settle down. At the same time, through taverns and inns, they earned back a large amount of crystal coins, which were then invested in building other facilities, thus circulating.

  Five years later, with the depletion of crystal mines, the previous businessman went elsewhere, and the refugees also disappeared, leaving behind a desolate wasteland. Later, in another place, under the careful management of the merchant, not only did it not destroy the environment around the crystal mine, but instead built a prosperous town near the crystal mine, with merchants coming and going without end.

  Five years later, the first merchant had nothing to do, lost everything in the casino, and fell into the streets. The second merchant, on the other hand, made the town more prosperous, not only earning a lot of crystal coins but also having great prestige among the common people, being appointed by the king as the hereditary lord of the land.

  After finishing the story, Yang Ling took a light sip of jasmine tea from his cup. Good, Sophia and Mulberry looked thoughtful, while the others stared at Yang Ling with their eyes wide open, seemingly unable to wrap their heads around it for a moment, trying to figure out what he meant by telling this story.

  Go fishing for gosling?

  After a moment of contemplation, the old butler Mulberry exclaimed excitedly: "I understand, sir! You mean to let out a long line and catch Goss fish. First, let the people of Visen Town live a good life, promote business prosperity, and then you can earn more crystal coins!"

  "That's right, the Trass Forest is the crystal mine in the story. Wissen Town is our base camp, if the residents here can't even eat their fill, no matter how hard we work, we won't be able to make a lot of money, only small change! Looking at Muir Birch's excitement, Yang Ling nodded in approval and continued: "So, for now, there's no need for us to expand Shangri-La's ordinary guest rooms, let the extra guests go to others to earn some small change!"

  "When the residents of Visen Town have some spare money, we will build the remaining facilities, step by step promoting the development of Visen Town and continuously earning more crystal coins!" After a moment's hesitation, Sophia, who was as clever as ice and snow, also spoke out her own thoughts.

  "Right, let's take it one step at a time! What we need is sustained profitability, which, in a way, is what Mulberry said about fishing for goslings with a long line!" Yang Ling encouraged the lovely fairy beside him.

  The endless Tras Forest is home to countless towering trees, and ferocious beasts roam freely. To others, it may seem like a perilous place, but for Yang Ling, it's his safe haven. The town of Visen, located near the Tras Forest, serves as his stronghold.

  Win over a force, the most secure way is not to give a certain amount of crystal coins at once, but to share a piece of cake with him, tie him tightly to his own chariot, and rise and fall together!

  Unlike the crowd eager to expand Shangri-La, Yang Ling was well aware that building various structures here, apart from making money, was more importantly about gradually forming a shared interest relationship with the townspeople. Only in this way could he truly stand firm; only after standing firm could he rapidly explore the secrets of this world, enjoy a new life, and seek whether there existed a road back to Earth.

  Of course, making money is not the most important thing, but being unable to make money is absolutely unacceptable!

  Shangri-La was positioned in the mid-to-high-end market from the start. Ordinary rooms can't make much money per day, they just attract some foot traffic and add to the atmosphere. The real money-makers are those villas in the back, which can be built in larger quantities later on.

  Weisen Town is rich in resources, but relying solely on selling resources will not make a lot of money. Yang Ling understood that only by establishing large-scale workshops and forming merchant teams to sell finished products could they continuously earn a large amount of crystal coins.

  At the same time, with capital, it is possible to continuously increase the wages of subordinates and servants, improve their living standards and consumption capacity. In turn, people having surplus money will further stimulate consumption and attract a large number of profit-seeking merchants. At this point, more workshops and consumer venues can be established, and more crystal coins can be recouped. Investing, recouping funds, re-investing, and so on, the economy of Weisen Town will gradually prosper.

  After a moment of contemplation, Yang Ling concisely expressed his opinion. Unexpectedly, people followed suit and once again confirmed his idea that he was born into a wealthy family, even the usually worldly-wise old butler Mu Erboqi couldn't help but subconsciously think of the clever and farsighted Miss Hai'er Beili.

  Yang Ling is still young and couldn't have thought so far ahead, the only explanation is that he was influenced by his family's ways from a young age, just like Miss, and received guidance from famous teachers since childhood.

  Everyone was convinced, only Yang Ling understood that he was just parroting what the book said. In reality, with his half-baked theory and almost zero experience, he had to face countless complex situations and unimaginable difficulties.

  "Yang Ling, you mean we can start minting coins now?" After a moment of contemplation, everyone else basically understood what Yang Ling meant, except for the drunken dwarf Lumi who was still a bit confused.

  "Haha, no problem giving you the processing fee, but next time drinking is on your own dime!" Looking at Rumi who was drunk as usual, Yang Ling shook his head.

  Hearing Yang Ling say this, Rumi hastily hugged the wine jar in his arms, "Forget it, no need to add more, we're two brothers, let's not talk about money and hurt our feelings!"

  Talking about money hurts feelings?

  Looking at the tense Rumi, people burst into laughter. After understanding Yang Ling's plan, they all had hope for the future. Especially Gu De, who was even more convinced of Yang Ling's foresight and knew that with his help, he would one day be able to rescue his family. He believed that with Yang Ling's increasingly powerful strength, that day would not be far away, and perhaps he could even severely punish the villain who had framed him in the past.
