Unprofitable ordinary guests can be dispensed with, but big business cannot be missed. Yang Ling ordered Gu De to expand another 20 villas. Basically, the money earned from one villa is higher than that of 100 ordinary rooms.

  When the neon lights first came on, Yang Ling slowly walked towards the Ye Lai Xiang wine house. Although there was no KTV and no rock music, he could still find a hint of the feeling of hanging out with friends in the lively wine house years ago. The dim lighting, the endless fine wines, and those equally tempting beauties...

  As he turned a corner, he inadvertently saw someone listlessly wiping the door and window. After calming down and taking a closer look, it was Andrew, the tavern owner who had invited him to stay in Visen Town back then.

  Generally speaking, the best time for a tavern's business is after dinner, but Andrew's tavern was desolate, with only one couple in the corner flirting with each other. The crowd that had filled the place earlier had been taken away by the Night Fragrance Tavern. Looking at Andrew, who was middle-aged and pale-faced, Yang Ling understood that he must have been having a tough time lately. Thinking of his former generosity and enthusiasm, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

  "Andrew, still so diligent at night!"

  "Oh, it's Lord Yang after all!" Andrew looked up and was surprised to see Yang Ling. "You've been getting fatter and fatter lately, haha, you'd better exercise more, or your bones will get moldy!"

  Getting fatter?

  Look at Andrew's haggard face and his streaks of white hair, Yang Ling smiled, "I said Andrew boss, not even letting me in the door, are you worried that I don't have money to drink you broke? I've always been nostalgic for your first-rate bartending skills!"

  "Hey, look at my wooden brain, making Lord Yang laugh. Please come in!" Andrew smiled awkwardly and wiped his wet hands on his apron, stepping aside to let Yang Ling enter, and casually pouring him a cup of wine.

  Although Yang Ling's Night Fragrance Tavern had taken away the vast majority of customers, Andrew didn't particularly resent Yang Ling himself. After all, Yang Ling had eliminated the evil Ank family for the people and occasionally helped some poor and downtrodden townspeople, his prestige was growing greater and greater, Andrew could only blame himself for not being skilled enough.

  "Hmm, tastes good!" After taking a sip of wine, Yang Ling hesitated for a moment, preparing to get straight to the point, and said: "Andrew, have you been busy lately? Are you interested in doing a deal?"

  Doing business?

  Andrew was taken aback, thinking that Yang Ling just came to catch up on old times, never expecting him to introduce business opportunities. After the initial shock, he couldn't help but get excited, knowing that with Yang Ling's status, he wouldn't exaggerate, and the business opportunity he introduced would definitely be a lucrative one.

  As expected, Andrew was thrilled and incoherent when Yang Ling said he would support him in opening a large investment hotel. The success of the Shangri-La Hotel is obvious to all, although many people also want to follow suit and get a share of the pie, but where can ordinary people come up with such a large capital?

  "Lord Yang, I...". After calming down, Andrew thought about his meager savings and looked gloomy. "Sir, the investment in the inn is too big, alas, even if I sell my old bones, I won't be able to gather that many crystal coins!"

  "Money is no problem, I've got it covered! You calculate carefully and see how many crystal coins you need, then come find me later." Yang Ling smiled, "However, my interest rates are very high. After the hotel is built, you must run the business smoothly. If you don't pay back on time, beware of me coming to collect debts!"

  After patting Andrew on the shoulder, Yang Ling strode away, leaving behind a middle-aged Andrew who was so moved that his eyes were red.

  The tavern business was bleak, and his family was almost out of rice to cook at home. He was considering whether he should close the tavern and go logging with his neighbors to make a living. Unexpectedly, Yang Ling came along at this time, not only introducing business to him but also promising to lend him a large sum of money in advance. As for the high interest rate, as long as one wasn't an idiot, anyone would understand that Yang Ling was just joking.

  Nobility, this is true nobility, a high-born aristocrat who is generous and well-educated!

  As Andrew watched Yang Ling's receding back, he was moved to tears and decided to return immediately to discuss with his wife. From then on, every time they prayed, they would bless Yang Ling for a lifetime of happiness and peace. In this era, aristocrats like him who treated civilians equally were almost extinct.

  Andrew was moved to tears, while Yang Ling's mind wandered freely.

  Maybe we can open a pawnshop here!

  He recalled Andrew's gloomy expression when he was short of money, and felt that opening a bank here would be a good choice. Firstly, it could earn a lot of crystal coins; secondly, it could also support and encourage the townspeople to invest and start businesses, rapidly prospering the economy of Visen Town. But more importantly, it would lay the foundation for firmly grasping the economic lifeline of Visen Town in the future.

  Although not a finance major, despite spending most of his university time playing games like World of Warcraft, Yang Ling still understood the importance of banks to the economy. If he opened a bank here, he might not make much crystal coins in the short term, but in the long run, it would definitely bring huge benefits.

  About half a stick of incense later, Yang Ling walked slowly to the Night Fragrance Tavern. As expected, it was already packed with people inside. There were mercenaries laughing loudly as if no one was around, loggers and hunters who drank like their lives depended on it, and seductive women dressed in revealing clothes.

  "Boss, this way!" As soon as they saw Yang Ling, the two elf girls standing at the door quickly came forward to greet him. The mercenaries also made way for him. In Weisen Town, if there was one person who could make them both respectful and fearful, it was Yang Ling.

  Many of the female attendants of Yelang are beautiful and enchanting, whether they are human girls or elf maidens, but no one dares to take liberties with them.

  The deeply rooted Anka family was uprooted, the invincible Whirlwind Mercenary Corps was annihilated, who dares to pluck a tiger's whiskers? Even if they were given a tiger's gallbladder, they wouldn't dare move the young girls under Yang Ling's command, unless they're tired of living.

  Leaning on the high stool at the bar, Yang Ling took a sip of fine Raphael wine. Suddenly, his whole body felt refreshed and invigorated.

  "John, have you come up with any new cocktails recently?" Yang Ling asked the busy bartender beside him after closing his eyes for a moment.

  A bartender named John, although young in age, claims to be the royal bartender of the Bantu Empire. Yang Ling had tried him out a few times without leaving any trace and found that he indeed has his skills. A few bottles of ordinary rum and pomegranate wine were cleverly mixed together by him, and the taste was just different from others. If it weren't for offending the big shots of the Bantu Empire who couldn't be provoked, Yang Ling probably wouldn't have come here even if he offered a higher salary.

  "Come back in a while, and I'll treat you to the most delicious cocktail on the mainland!" John said with a smile, shaking his glass vigorously as he apologized to Yang Ling. As his wrist moved, the cocktail inside the glass swirled up and down like a tawny giant dragon, without spilling a drop.

  Looking at the bartender who was neither arrogant nor humble, Yang Ling smiled and took a sip of his drink. Bartending is also an art form, generally speaking, people who do art tend to have some quirks, either they think highly of themselves or are silent as gold. In the past when he went out with friends, he had come into contact with several similar guys.

  After taking a sip of the fine wine handed over by John, Yang Ling had not even had time to carefully savor the different flavors when suddenly, "Ah!" A muffled hum came from outside the door. Immediately after that, someone shouted loudly, "Ebilis, you bastard of the Bantu Empire, how dare you deliberately block the way and look for death!"

  A shrill cry was followed by a hoarse voice outside the door, "Heh heh, you stupid bear of the Ross Empire, are you tired of living? Let's see whose bones are harder, or whose dagger is sharper, hum!"

  .....

  Accompanied by fierce curses, a commotion broke out outside. Gradually, more and more mercenaries and adventurers joined the fray, shouting for their friends to join in. The scene outside the tavern was chaotic, with bloodstains everywhere.

  Young and Dangerous: The Other Side

  He walked to the window and looked at the fierce battle between the two sides, with a look of hatred that could kill each other. Yang Ling shook his head in confusion. Before he figured out what was going on, he didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

  Yang Ling looked puzzled, and bartender John said calmly: "The Ross Empire is the sworn enemy of the Bantu Empire. The two sides have been at odds for over a hundred years, with small-scale wars on the border never ceasing. It's common for mercenaries or adventurers from both sides to fight when they meet!"

  "Oh, is it really something that often happens?"

  Looking at the many heavily armored warriors who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then glancing at the few black-clothed men hiding in the big tree opposite the tavern, Yang Ling coldly smiled.

  Conspiracy, it's absolutely a conspiracy!

  The other courtyard of Shangri-La has just been taken over by someone at a high price, and Yang Ling has already secretly ordered the thief Fenrist to investigate their identity. The several black-clothed men opposite are among the most mysterious ones. Yang Ling believes that today's battle is not just a simple conflict between the warriors of both sides.

  Everyone, I apologize for the late update today. Due to a power outage in my entire neighborhood, I had to spend over an hour finding an internet cafe to update from. According to the notice, the power will be back on after 6 pm online, so it won't affect the update. Welcome everyone to show your support at that time, thank you!
